Title: We need to stomp new players more
Post by: Tzar on May 04, 2012, 01:20:47 pm
I suggest that with this new cut fee making life even more painfull for newcomers we should also make sure that all users who registered on the char website since 01-05-2012 should have to start out with -20k in their bank.

Plus if you havent played for over 1 year you should pay 100k a month in taxes to chadz

I really think new players have it too easy maybe add permadeath chance to around 60% on death if you just started out after 04-05-2012

The first time i played cRPG, i had almost no warband experience whatsoever.

I spawned into the battle on EU1 on prime time. Looking around, i was impressed:
"Hey look, those guys have full knight armour and a mount."
*sound of thundering hooves coming closer*
"Oh cool, this one is riding my way. "
*cav guy raises his huge sword*
"Oh shit!"
*splat*

That was my introduction to cRPG. Loved it ever since. So yeah, stomp on the new players some more! Not just for yourself, but do it for them!  8-)

Mercilessly beating on peasants is one of the most sacred things in this game. It's like a gang initiation.

How could we take that away from them? If that ever happened CRPG is truly dead.

I has!


Yes, noobs got it easy these days. Hopefully the way the game is now it wont addict them like it did us 2 years ago, there really is no game that makes me so frustrated as this, infact NOTHING in the world that frustrates me as much as crpg that I would choose to do for "fun".

My first experience of crpg was frantically trying to kill a farmer so i could earn some xp and gold and then some biatch with a 2h killed him.

I played a little more and then quit.

Some weeks/months later I gave crpg another go and here I still am.

Crush them like the bugs they are and save them from a fate worse than death.

Maybe to stomp new players more you need to find more new players. I think we as a community could do a lot more to promote this mod. Like slyly bringing it up in any other multiplayer game you play.

I put posters up in games labs and installed it on 30 game dev pcs at work... :( one guy played and then quit because of trawling.

I see no problem with this suggestion, under the current system we aren't discouraging enough players from cRPG!

I don't know. There definetly has to be some amount of grind involved. Otherwise this would be just another version of native multiplayer. Envy and lust for more heirlooms, gold, generations and higher levels is what keeps a big portion of people here.

Finally after one and a half year I stopped retiring my 9 gen main (and sacrificed my gen 3 alt). I just became tired of the endless grind. Now I play just for the fun of it and designed my final build, that can be leveled all the way up to lvl 35 (mostly just useless crap for cav pole build added after lvl 33 like shieldskill and maxing WM so I'm not grinding to get there).

Haralds new strat update can't come soon enough. Honestly it would be great if that could take over as the driving force instead of looms :/

If the desire is to drain gold from the players, especially those who already have a lot it would be much better (IMO) to offer some services players would pay for.

Services for gold (quick ideas from top of my head):
Not saying all these should be implemented etc, just quick ideas that should be in the easy end to add, but anything that people would find useful is a potential idea.

What services would you all pay gold for? No suggestions that require adding items etc though, has to be something that's an easy change in terms of programming e.g. the parameters are already here.

I forgot my first cRPG experience, but I do remember the Haubergeon of Deflection and the Magical Simple Sword.

By the way, mod is dead if peasants are allowed to live and newbies allowed to play unmolested.
