Title: State of the NA Community
Post by: Crazyi on March 31, 2012, 01:48:56 am
I am just curious what people think of the community. Please only be an active member of the NA servers.

Pretty bad but could be worse.

Every iteration of Strategus makes it worse because too many lunatics start holding personal grudges.

people like you (raging children who shit up every admin decision as an excuse to get people deadminned for drama) are some of the worst parts about it, thats for sure!

New here, I've only been playing for about a week so take that into account when I say that the EU battle server seems to be more team oriented and the chat seems to be less childish. I put the NA server chat in the same category as 4Chan, which means that for the most part it would appear that people simply dump a bucket of stupid all over their keyboard and try to get a rise out of others with what comes out on the screen.

Now I'm not a prude in any sense of the word, I sling my fair share of off colored jokes and offensive humor at close friends and certain family members but refrain from tossing it into a chat window where it very well could offend others. Furthermore, and this isn't limited to the NA servers, many of the character names are outright childish and  ridiculous, Flying_Dildos, MenstrualMonsoon***, the hymn ripper, whoresman, Rape... The list continues and this is just from the game I am currently in. I'm just going to reiterate the similarities of Crpg chat/names and 4Chan, the scum of the internet before I leave this here.

Honestly, I'd rather take the NA chat than all of the EU polls.  :mrgreen:

There's worse communities out there in all of gaming, but I'd be hard pressed to name them :\. The forum people are pretty cool though

Blanket ban all of NA. Only solution, and will remain as the only solution. Who even likes this game anyways? Excluding Huey Newton

I actually love the cRPG community.

That said, it is pretty much THE WORST community out there.  That's why I love it.  :mrgreen:



Voted option #1, because option #4 is true.

Just glad I don't have to play there cos we have EU servers. The attitude from players and general childishness is pretty bad on NA from my experience.

Mostly troll culture shitheads.  I frequently turn QMV and Quiet-Mode on in order to preserve what's left of my sanity.  Thank Joe Pesci this game doesn't have voicecomm.

There are no trolls in NA.  All the trolls are in EU.

A lot of high potheads and drunk people
A lot of intolerance
A few sane people
Some nice people

Gameplay:
Official servers:
A lot of cavalry
Mostly cavalry maps

I've played a number of online games over the years. As bad as people make it out to be, the cRPG community is easily one of the best I've encountered. It's also one of the only games I've played where it's possible to have a direct line to the developers.

Trashtalk is a fun part of the game imo.

I have fun doing it anyway.

Like when Aderyn robbed chadz.

I still think one of the best response to bug abusing douchary I've seen in any game was the "The Dark Force", that shit was classic.

I think the Community is fine. It's a shame Europeans and American players are so distant from one another. There's such backward views on both sides, it makes my head spin, but the sad part really comes from EU when they consistently dog on North Americans through the forums, or join our servers to talk shit on our country.

Really childish.

The NA community has a few dysfunctional members in it, but for the most part it's a pretty good group of people to be in. I don't know much about EU, I just picture them all having very very serious expressions while playing this game and looking something like this:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login



Seriously though, could use more admins for the times when certain members of our community cannot extricate themselves from a bottle of liquor, or are too hyped up on skipping school the next day to care about potentially receiving a ban.

I agree with the last paragraph. I think EUs are more behaved than NAs and less childish. Also, it's not like the NA people don't "dog on" the EUs ._.

I don't see NA doing it as often, or apparently I'm just not in the right spot at the right time.


Doom's european and he hates playing on their servers or associating with people there, so I suppose that can say something about it. I have no problems with Europeans, it just gets old hearing "Oh eat a Hamburger" or "Shut up fatty". Really great insults guys. Seriously. Great insults. v.v

I see them both equally do it, in the forums, on IRC or on the servers.

Human nature, most of it is in good jest.

Maybe there are more NA players visiting EU servers in spite of super high pings then vica verca. Why? No clue. NAs have better cable power? They like the EUnglish? 
Didnt think there would be much difference in trolling though. Can there be more trolling then EU has, honestly?!

I get curious... I have to visit NA sometimes soon and superping me through battle  :D
Title: Re: State of the NA Community
Post by: Tears of Destiny on March 31, 2012, 09:57:51 am
Visit both EU and NA in their respective prime times, is rather entertaining to compare. EU is a bit quieter (maybe due to language barriers, and certainly some cultural differences) but more trigger happy with the polls, other then that pretty much the same in all seriousness when it comes to general server behavior and trollery.

Other way around if anything, I know of a few EU players (including myself) who play 95% of the time on NA servers and I can't think of one NA player who does that with EU servers.

we went on na_1 yesterday and i must say chat wise its much better than EU, EU is full of serious hate and rage all the fucking time, NA seems more laid back and friendly for some reason

maybe im wrong but that was the impression i got ;p

So why would you stay in a wasteland badplayer?

It varies widly.  Ive seen the community as amazing people who generally like the game and are having fun, and then Ive seen the acidic trolling jackassery that delight in ruining the game experience for others.  From people spouting random racism then cowering behind oh it was just a joke and wasnt racist at all, to people who intentionally try to get people to tk/grief them just to come here and post a ban thread.  The bi polar swings this community has is crazy sometimes, but overall its not the worst Ive ever played in.

TL:DR It changes day to day hour to hour.

my first time impression of NA1 - nice people, no rage... and ping140 isnt that bad at all. But maybe it was so  becouse it was kinda late for NA and the more serious people on. But sometimes I like the random rage/trolling kids too. It wouldnt be half the fun without them.

No complaints about in game, can't recall the last time I was grief'd.  Most people need thicker skins, admins included.

I agree clique thing is a bit beaten to death...  Although it doesnt really bother me, mostly because there cant be that much wrong with people that want to fight with sharp pieces of metal and sticks, rather than glowy fantasy BS. :)

The chat?  Theres always a bunch of a-holes in all online games that are desperate to sound cool while making complete fools of themselves, nothing new.

To someone who's never played games online, we'd look like complete nobs.  to someone whose played a few, when you cut through the surface bs,  its actually much better than most.

I'd say a 500 word essay on why it's not ok to talk about the admins on NA in an unsavory fashion on the public forums is in order here. I hope you learn you lesson and will think twice before crossing your pink text overlords again.
