Title: Which cRPG did you prefer?
Post by: Black Wind on June 02, 2012, 07:31:27 am
Hello all,

I am just wondering which cRPG the larger playerbase found more entertaining as a whole. While both, vanilla c-RPG and current c-RPG had their perks in my opinion, which one was more enjoyable to play?

Old c-RPG
-----------
- No upkeep.
- No slot system.
- Weight effected movement and wpf less
- Gold/exp was harder to come by, and was obtained based on the death of an enemy player.
- A more relaxed environment (in my opinion).
- A sense of achievement when you, the player, finally obtained enough gold to buy high-tier armour, horses or other gear.
- Lol-weapons, like Retro-Flamberge, Looney Tunes Axe, Lance of Compensation, Sniper Crossbow etc.

I found this very enjoyable, more-so than the uptight c-RPG of today.


New c-RPG
------------
- A pretty well balanced combat system
- Upkeep, to prevent people from tincanning 24/7 (negated by market)
- New gold/exp per minute system, with multipliers.
- No lol-weapons.
- A more competitive environment for the average player.
- Gold loss is sometimes an issue based on banner-balance team stacks.
- No sense of achievement for finally obtaining higher-tier gear, as gold is a lot easier to come by.


Overall, in my opinion, the two cRPG's are different in too many ways to really compare, and that I personally found vanilla c-RPG to be slightly more enjoyable, and more laid back. The new c-RPG is still fun, but it's far too competitive, and although players deny it, they try to mooch as many kills as possible, in order to try to obtain a rep amongst their community (defeats the whole concept for ticks per minute exp).

What are your opinions on the matter? :)

old, i think overall new c-rpg is better in fights, options etc.

only things that were better previously were the xp/gold system.   i proposed many times to keep the old one   xp/gold for kill with area, and also the new one but cutting it by half. (so the noobs will be able to grow withouth needing to perfom, but the others get more by perform. ,  the famous,  all your work bla bla,  happens very rare and happen not becouse you killed 10 ppl than died in first 2 min, but only becouse you one of the last morons alive, even if you a stupid paesant with a clubber, who hided for the entire match,       also in the old system there was no leechers,       since you needed always to get in the fight for get the xp )
 
and maybe the level cap,  current give lev:   33-35 maybe 36 if you play much vs 44-45  on old.          they cutted 10+ level and slowed a lot the progression of the char , imho  a bit too much,  was much better a middle way option between 38-40 as max possible lev.

Yeah, not to mention that the current gold/exp system doesn't work with smaller communities like Australia and Japan. We rarely have 8 players with the introduction of Napoleonic Wars, so therefore, can't get multipliers.

The old gold system would double, with anything less than 30 players iirc, might've been 24 players. Can't remember too well.

Oh Frank,

How I sympathise for ye'. Missed out on AU's Golden Age. Every night, around 20 players (regulars), community feel, shit was great haha.

(I think you came into cRPG when the new upkeep system was implemented? or near the end of the old-crpg?)

Sorry if I am wrong. :S haha, that'd be awkward...

Both have their merits and drawbacks.

On the whole? Old crpg is my preference. I had more fun playing it than the current one. Not to say I'm not having fun, I just enjoy the sense of fulfillment that came with buying new shit.

Tin cans are a dime a dozen, and even a peasant (measured by skill) can wear plate armor if he sucks at this mod long enough to scrounge for it.

A poll should be created for this thread. For me, I had much more fun with the old system before the multipliers came in. Running behind Bjord as a peasant with a board shield, racking in all the gold and exp from the 50+ kills Bjord would get each map whist wearing full plate and using his flamburge... Fun times :p

Liked the old crpg's lolweapons. Upkeep is not fun as it is, I mean yes prevent people from tincanning 7/24 but this is nonsensical. The best way to make money is to do a gen as a useless peasant with a pitchfork and stones.

And I don't know what's the last time I saw a shield wall or something.

I guess the archery/ranged nerfs have made them obsolete, there's no need to shield up for dear life.

Slots area a knavery.

In Vanilla c-RPG?

That server hoster, Phallas, was undermined by some players who wanted their own server unfortunantly. :(

But yeah, if he ever is on steam again, he said he'll give his old maps to me. (He was last online, like 230+ days ago)

There are some things I don't miss like the old elite scim and lvl 45 with fully loomed gear Dimos.


Leaching was probably easier for Australians on the old system. Lower weight penalties, no upkeep and the fact every one had shield skill meant carrying 4 decent shields and standing near  the combat in NA was an awesome way to earn cash.

The best part about old cRPG was that builds were so much more flexible as there was no level cap. Skill and attribute point application was far more sporadic rather than the regimented and pre-planned builds that must be complete at level 30 that we conform to now.

Old CRPG was having much more random fun like making towers out of ladders in middle of battlefield or fire bombs that can block entire battle if well placed. But still i prefer new CRPG becouse it is much better balanced i remember that sb with Flamberge and black armor can kill 15 people and survive so i was looking in which team he will be cos this team gets more gold and win no matter of performance of other players what was bit depressing. Also the gold/xp system sucked ass badly cos you need to stay with a group and sneaky tactics had no benefits.

for me the reason was that I was already gen 20, ownd lots of gold and looms on the current crpg. also I couldn't know when or if it was gonna be removed soon.

Post by: cmp on June 02, 2012, 12:42:12 pm
I had more fun in old cRPG as well, but that's because of different circumstances (novelty factor, less player skill...).
I'm pretty sure if we brought it back it wouldn't last more than a week or two. Oh wait, we did that. :wink:

Having to choose now, I think new cRPG is a thousand times better.

If you got old crpg back you would whine that you were getting 1hitted by looney-axe or sniper xbow. You would whine at all archers shooting you and then beating you in melee if you were too close. Staying close to enemies killed means coming back to gangbang necessity and this discourages most of ranged.

I prefer current system which was meant to be quite even. Ofc a few things could be done in a different way in my opinion but anyway.... Blacksmitch of Calradia must be the most fucking rich person in the whole world. He repaired so many items, lol

Definitely new. 

It is balanced item-wise way the hell better than the old.  Caters more to people that enjoy a challenge.  New admin rules to get rid of the bad that the old had like leeching.

Only thing I do not like about the new is the banner balance.

The new crpg is way more competitive.

I prefer the old one, where feints still worked, when melee combat was fun and exciting and when player skill meant everything instead of now, an endless dull, boring block fest where numerical advantage mean everything.

This. old cRPG was grindy from the beginning and also a lot less competitive than the new cRPG. It's only logical a more competitive game will end up having an unfriendly community.

The "older crpg version" was good because it was all new for everyone (me). The "newer crpg version" is better imo, I prefer the current class balance, the gold and level system and upkeep and actually everything else as well. ;)

I was psychologically traumatized by Old cRPG archers and xbows. They were basically like native but ten times more effective. New cRPG is better if only for the way they got the shit beat out of them with the nerf bat, repeatedly. I do kind of miss the old gold system, but it wasn't sustainable, logically.

Post by: Fartface on June 02, 2012, 02:14:19 pm
I for one thought the old cRPG had a way more medieval feeling to it , when playing eu1 seeing loads of peasant few medium and even fewer tincans.
Title: Re: Which cRPG did you prefer?
Post by: owens on June 02, 2012, 02:40:10 pm
What is wrong with heavy armour and big weapons being realistically effective.

Everything has been flattened nerfed, buffed and nerfed until every weapon is equal. You know something is not right when you see the cudgel being used as an effective weapon.
That is what I don't understand about new cRPG.

from what I recall of my noob days they were unfriendly even when it was less competitive, and people were still very, very competitive. I think you guys are in nostalgia land where everything is cotton candy and bubble gum.


New crpg for me all the way, more fair playing ground for everyone.

I enjoyed the old one better.

I enjoyed leveling up as a massivily underpowered peasant that then rule the land as a HA  :twisted: although AHA was OP.

The only real problem with the Old cRPG imo is that everyone ended up having plates whist running like crazy due to massive levels from strat xp.

It was a faster game, i enjoyed that

I agree with Cyber. Current leveling system is awesome but all those "balance" changes Paul and Fasader made in the past year and a half aren't my cup of tea.

Don't like:
- melee nerfs
- slot system
- unsheatable weapons
- narrow lance angle

It was bound to be closed.

Saying you will put xmascrpg on christmas, stating it wouldn't have any admin or bug/problems fixed, eu/na where using the same server and after some weeks people where being asses polling eu or na people and a bunch of other things.

At least I knew it wasn't worth the try when it was clear it was going to be closed after christmas.

----------------------------

While new crpg is better the limitations in weapons, multiplier is worse than old exp/gold system and upkeep rendered useless by selling 1 loompoint!! turned the game into a more cod style game than old crpg.

Make it official cRPG and it won't die, I guarantee you that.

No one (including me) want to waste time on some spin-off cRPG.

It really doesn't matter how fucked up balance is, you'll always have players because we are addicted. No one really gives a fuck about balance, we're mainly trolling here on forums.

Leshma, at least one time think before you say something. I GIVE A FUCK ABOUT BALANCE. This game gives a pleasure of even fights sometimes. Sometimes even when it isn't fair it gives fun as well but I am really happy of what developers have done with this mod. Don't say that everybody is addicted and things like these. Please don't speak for all the players.

Imagine that one day they will release MB2 and new crpg will start, new wipe will come, or our cRPG will just get sooo old after a few years that people will play something else. Our cRPG is bound to be closed one day as well but we play it and we don't really worry about it.

Herpderp

I'm sure an intelligent chap like you can figure out a few reasons for low interest for a persistent, grinding game thats called xmas crpg that have nothing to do with the quality of the experience itself.



New cRPG is obviously by far superior in terms of balance, stability and features, but inferior in one aspect, the most important one. Fun. I dare to point fingers at the multiplier system and the upkeep. They add an enormous need to win. This changed the atmosphere of the mod to hardcore and unforgiving from lighthearted and lulzy. Which was what I loved about the old mod. Silly devs also renamed all the silly items and removed some not realistic ones.

I also preferred the old xp/gold system. Rounds consisted of two huge blobs crashing into eachother, which is ofcourse not perfect. Still I really prefer it over the lone charging that happens now. There was always some sort of teamplay going on. Huge shieldwalls, with awesome skirmishing phases because so many players had a ranged sidearm. I always loved open field maps, you had these epic clashes. Archers and cavalry always supported the infantry, cause thats where the xp was. Nowadays you just see cav spawnrushing or playing with the other cav in some corner.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CneUatAHPAo&t=1m40s

The combat was also faster, still can't believe that nothing has been done about that. WPF has been reduced by half. Every weapon lost atleast 1 speed point, heirlooming gives you 2 less speed than before. The average archer can block me indefinitely, apart from a few nasty tricks.

If old cRPG would be tweaked, it could be so much better than the current cRPG. The old cRPG with a 2-3 month reset would be better than the current cRPG.

In any case, the multiplier has to go. It is a horrible mechanic.

By gaining more xp/gold, like with the old system. You accumulated a potential amount of xp/gold gain during the round, if you won you actually got it. If you lost you only got like a quarter. So there was definitely an urge to win aswell back then, but it was no way as bad as with our x5 mentality now. Maybe because everything you did kept improving your character, be it slow or fast, people were less xp hungry.

Maybe the community just changed for the worse, and maybe we have all played this game too much and are bitter old hags because of that. Yet I just can't believe that the change in mentality has nothing to do with our current game mechanics.

I agree with the multiplier being bad. I think ticks should be kept, stored into a pool, and distributed at the end of round (with a bonus for the winner and a malus for the loser, possibly taking things like surviving players into account).

Wouldn't that just increase killwhoring and valour-camping?

The original gold system was preferable from my perspective; without upkeep so you'd feel appreciative of high tier gear. Not to mention you had to be in the battle to get the reward. This works aswell with low-population c-RPG servers, due to the low-player double thing. Not to mention, people won't "milk the multi".

New cprg
------------

- No lol-weapons.



Im sry, WHAT? I HATE what he have currently, the funny lol-weapons removed, but still stupidly brokenly powerful ones in. Wish there was some kind of uniformity, I amm for looney tunes and boulder ona stick, and I would greatly like an xp system as stated in this thread, with low gain over time, and rewards for PERSONAL performance, since most times, unless you strap on your Lordly Heavy Kuyak, your sillyfaceplate  and your cartoon Great Sword, you will NOT be the one person changing the tide of the battle.


But as to a statement earlier in this thread, that before current system there was no leeching: ....okay...what was it called then what they did in crpg china? Where if you tried to use any ranged weapon, or ANY armour, they would all insta ban, and every round they voted for tiniest map, all spawnd naked, no shielders allowed, just massive naked fight over and over to grind xp...thats not leeching I guess, if everyone does it?
Title: Re: Which cRPG did you prefer?
Post by: cmp on June 02, 2012, 04:37:16 pm
Wouldn't that just increase killwhoring and valour-camping?

No and no? Killwhoring is trying to get the kill for yourself, not trying to get the kill for the team. Valor camping has been already pretty much removed, you don't get valor any more for just surviving.

The original gold system was preferable from my perspective; without upkeep so you'd feel appreciative of high tier gear. Not to mention you had to be in the battle to get the reward. This works aswell with low-population c-RPG servers, due to the low-player double thing. Not to mention, people won't "milk the multi".

Upkeep getting removed is completely out of the question, as are kill based or area based XP (most people who played in the cRPG alphas will remember and understand why - the first one is killwhoring supreme, the second one is blob vs blob), that's why a tick system is likely to stay. Of course if someone can think of better ways to reward we are very open to suggestions.
Title: Re: Which cRPG did you prefer?
Post by: Teeth on June 02, 2012, 04:57:34 pm
the second one is blob vs blob
Blob vs blob is underrated. Is 'everybody do a mindless charge' really that much more desirable to you?

Leshma, at least one time think before you say something. I GIVE A FUCK ABOUT BALANCE. This game gives a pleasure of even fights sometimes. Sometimes even when it isn't fair it gives fun as well but I am really happy of what developers have done with this mod. Don't say that everybody is addicted and things like these. Please don't speak for all the players.

Imagine that one day they will release MB2 and new crpg will start, new wipe will come, or our cRPG will just get sooo old after a few years that people will play something else. Our cRPG is bound to be closed one day as well but we play it and we don't really worry about it.

Balance might be better than year a half ago but not as much as people like to believe (especially fail ninjas like Teeth).

What I think is that balance is there but it isn't awesome at all because it favors herp derp weapons like pikes, throwing and mauls. All because game is a lot slower than it used to be.

About new players and mod dead:

At first, chadz decided to change the mod because he was afraid that new players won't play cRPG because they got roflstomped. But what has really changed?

Nothing. They still get owned by veterans, only difference is that now some veteran disguised as peasant will kick their butt with peasant weapons, just a few moments when they finally, after 200 deaths, managed to save enough to buy some good lookin' armor and decent weapon...

After that, 5 out of 10 new players GTX this mod. Three players out of five left, are patient people and they will stay for few days more. Two who decided to stick with this mod are masohists, like majority of game population. They will go through intial rites, learn how manually block, get looms etc.

So it's not different to what it was before. Major difference is that before there were The_Finn, Tulsa Doom and other noobs who had epic gear and for a new player in every online game that's a sense of greatness (take WoW mounts for example).

And they don't mind to die to great players. What they do mind is to die to people who wear begginer gear, because they think they are:

CHEATERS!!!

Then why they changed the mod?

Because spineless, let influential clans asked them to change it to suit their taste better. Now you'll ask me to tell who I am thinking of? No problem bro, I'm not afraid to say what I think even if that means I'll get hatred on me. Who are they?

Mercs and Shogunate among the first!

Their self sense of greatness, their elitist attitute is something I never did and will never approve. Also that same attitude is the main reason why they don't have many players and why they NEVER will be important in the main feature of this mod, Strategus. Only thing left for those guys is rolfstoping pub server which is kinda sad imho, considering that two or three of them have trouble to take me down, casual and pug player, average at best...

There are so bad, they can't outwit a bunch of russian and polish kids who aren't smart at all. Yet they rape these so called "pros" Strat after Strat. Sad indeed.

That's why I think we don't have proper rewards and we're all forced to play on same level and retire and retire, like that has any point at all!

About strategus, I could tell you the story of one Finnish player who did something his ancestrors never did (made a pact with Russians) but that's a totally different story.

Blob vs blob is underrated. Is 'everybody do a mindless charge' really that much more desirable to you?

Angry mob riot warfare is actually more fun than picking off random people to chase down and fight 1on1. At least for me.

I don't think people remember how much slower it was to level back then.

Which was good.


As Leshma said, the game will always be unfair not matter what, simply because some players play better than others. In that context, removing character imbalances only makes the game more competitive and drives the playerbase towards a terrible minmaxing mentality.

There is a big difference between being forced to do a mindless blob (because else you get shit XP) and choosing to do a mindless charge. In the current system nothing stops you and your team from playing smart.

Playing smart if considered these days to be valor leeching, being coward, picking your fights, preying on the weak...

That's what these guys who coordinate throught VOIP software, abuse ghosting all the time, call lone players like me who actually contribute more to the team and often singlehandledly win the rounds, which they (a bloody trained team), failed to win!

Apart from the players themselves and a complete lack of coordination and communication. Again, being forced into a blob does not seem a bad thing to me.

Things I miss:

-The peasant game. Get a shield. Survey the battlefield. Cross your fingers and run into an alcove or duck behind a wall near the action. Huddle with other goofy-hat-wearing yokels and pray no enemy knights see you. In my head I always imagined the AOE gold bonus involved the peasants all leaping out of hiding to scavenge pennies from the purses of the dead. Oh, that frantic feeling when you and ten other farmers were hiding in a hay bale, and some behemoth with an axe as tall as a man walked into the barn and starting swinging. Oh fuck.

-The sense of accomplishment when you got an item. I remember playing for MONTHS as a mediocre spear footman with leather armor and the best shield I could scrape up the cash for. Then, finally, I BOUGHT A ROUNCEY AND ASCENDED FROM PEASANTHOOD. Getting that horse felt so badass, I got really into matching my armor up to look like a Norse horseman and reveled in the speed and fury of my dark steed.



Things I won't miss:

-it taking multiple months to get a rouncey. lol

edit: I miss old crpg, but I don't want it back. The new crpg has its flaws, but is more balanced and friendly to newer players. I can totally understand someone's interest fizzling out before they get that big item that changes everything for them. Long time players do accrue heirloom bonuses and can probably afford any +0 item that they feel like using for a few hours, but they are not some unreachable tier of god that you will never be. Going past level 31 and carrying a full set of looms requires a lot of time investment, but you are still just tweaking numbers in your favor rather than becoming invincible.

Well, to be fair, I had played Mount & Blade vanilla for about a week before starting crpg. I was the worst. But it was still fun, goofing around with all the other peasants while you tried to catch trickle-down gold from the geared up players. There were always so many peasants...

Well... Old system was fun too but it was different times then. It's in the past when we were new to this game. It was exiting and you got hooked on that damn adrenaline rush when you met good players and buying those damn expensive stuffs and getting high levels. People couldn't block as well as they do now etc etc. Playing wasn't as competetive. It was different but it will never be the same again. Deal with it.

Lots of players seem to have "nostalgia glasses" on and can't seem to understand how much cRPG has developed from those times. Still having some problems but they are always being sorted in some way.

If I compare experiences, I would probably choose the old cRPG because when I was new to this there was more mystery in it and everything was new. Even though I sucked it was fun just to level up for the first time and getting those first kills after playing for many days felt amazing :D. Then again I don't have a time machine to go back so if I'd have to choose now the version I prefer...

Bullshit. In one month I had a black lamellar vest, a vaegir nobleman helmet, a long hafted blade, a kite shield and about 15k towards a destrier. I played a whole lot more than 2 hours a day and I played when the round xp/gold was at its highest.

Then bring back the old exp/gold system and increase the range to maximum possible so people can still go in small groups fight and get gold/exp from the others fighting BUT if you recklessly charge and die you won't get more exp/gold than what you managed to "accumulate".

Old c-RPG
-----------

- Gold/exp was harder to come by, and was obtained based on the death of an enemy player.
- A more relaxed environment (in my opinion).
- A sense of achievement when you, the player, finally obtained enough gold to buy high-tier armour, horses or other gear.
What I like.

New c-RPG
------------

- New gold/exp per minute system, with multipliers.
- No sense of achievement for finally obtaining higher-tier gear, as gold is a lot easier to come by.
What I don't like.

Old system. Although I realize that the high upkeep costs keep a balance on combat without everybody running around in top-tier armour, I can't say I enjoyed the peasant levels much... And going back to peasant mode when you've wasted your entire fortune. Perhaps I simply still have to learn to balance my gear out.

There is no such thing as killwhoring. Killing someone from behind is actually useful, ecpecially if that enemy player is a shielder or even worse, hoplite. Doing that you save precious time for your team so they can again look behind them for backstabing cavalry or ranged.

Nothing worse than seing 10 teammates desperately trying to kill KingGylpe by attacking frontally...

That's why I avoid teammates most of the time, they simple aren't useful at all and that's because in current state of cRPG where everyone is backpedaling helicopter it's actually easier to kill a player one on one than ganking him with your teammates.

Unless you're abusing pikes...

Yes.

Make it so both personal and team efforts are rewarded.

Round Wins = Multiplier
Kills = Gold/XP

Perhaps some bonus when a round ends (based on survivors?), valour could be reworked to help reward those who still made an effort for the round win but didn't participate in the main fray.

How about xp gain methods that change depending on character level/gen? Possible methods of xp reward: survival,kills, team survival, Overall k/d ratio (you don't have to kill a lot so much as die a lot less). Peasants could get xp simply from not dying. Later levels from different methods etc.

Killwhoring is not killing someone from behind, it's finding a guy that's likely going to die (i.e. being attacked by many teammates) and trying to steal the kill. Bonus points for teamkills while doing it.

wonder why leshma isn't muted yet, wrote so much bs in so few pages

you don't know old crpg for the simple reason ... that you didn't play it, olol

you don't know mercs or shogunate ... because you're a newcomer just as the others, kinda random guy

though you just prove what i said ^^ we lost many good people who left the mod, became less active or just split because of the mechanics that has a trend to split people instead of making them work together

and instead we've got retards who speak without making any sense or knowing about what they speak about

if there was one reason why mercs used to have some special attention from chadz it's because most of our players were intelligent ... they knew the game and how to play it, they were involved, trustable and cool people

then i could give you a history class ... mercs were one of the first created clans, most of its members played the mod since it started, probably when you were still playing wow, mercs won a lot of tournaments, mercs were one of the biggest factions in strategus 1 with more than 1 fief per member so more than 30 fiefs

but mercs have changed, just as the whole crpg community itself did, and imo it hasn't become better

i let weeboos speaking for themselves if they want to

Post by: Tot. on June 02, 2012, 08:21:49 pm
Game mechanics aside, I do actually miss the old, more equipment based progression. The feeling of achievement after buying some actual armor after waiting weeks for it, and that people actually picked their gear more carefully since they were to be bound to it for a long time. Nowadays it's just random kuyak-wearing horde, to be honest, 90% of the time I can't even tell who am I fighting since they all look the same.

Maybe it's because I'm sort of loot-whore, but I don't really have any incentive to play cRPG instead of Vikingr at the moment considering the fighting mechanics is far worse and simplistic in here (hence it's more fun there) and there's no "material" goal to play for. Heirloom? One more damage on the weapon? Get out, no, really.

Things I miss:

-The peasant game. Get a shield. Survey the battlefield. Cross your fingers and run into an alcove or duck behind a wall near the action. Huddle with other goofy-hat-wearing yokels and pray no enemy knights see you. In my head I always imagined the AOE gold bonus involved the peasants all leaping out of hiding to scavenge pennies from the purses of the dead. Oh, that frantic feeling when you and ten other farmers were hiding in a hay bale, and some behemoth with an axe as tall as a man walked into the barn and starting swinging. Oh fuck.

-The sense of accomplishment when you got an item. I remember playing for MONTHS as a mediocre spear footman with leather armor and the best shield I could scrape up the cash for. Then, finally, I BOUGHT A ROUNCEY AND ASCENDED FROM PEASANTHOOD. Getting that horse felt so badass, I got really into matching my armor up to look like a Norse horseman and reveled in the speed and fury of my dark steed.

+1


Things I won't miss:

-it taking multiple months to get a rouncey. lol


It didn't take that long since I do remember Plazek riding first horse but a couple of days after a reset.

What I absolutely don't miss though is the ridiculously overpowered ranged that were back then, even though nowadays archers still are easymode it's nothing, nothing like it was back then.

Yes, he's going to die but when and at what cost? That's very important. Because hoplites and other defensive shielders can do a lot of good for their team by keeping an enemy busy for a longer period of time.

Even I can do it when I'm wearing my heavy armor. In 95% of cases my team wins if an enemy team gank me and I manage to survive for longer than 20 seconds, which means that I've killed at least 2 out of 10 or 15 and damaged a alot more.

I'm not trying to make myself look good, I don't give a fuck what anyone who plays this thinks of me. I'm just speaking from experience and what I think it's useful and what isnt't.

You say killwhoring, I say being useful. After all point of the game isn't having most kills, it's winning. I'm doing everything I can so my team can win. You can think otherwise, but that's all I'm doing.

There's nothing easier being part of a melee blob in good armor and swinging like a fool, anyone can get 20 or more kills that way. But he'll also weaken his teammates and end up being raped by cav/ranged.

As soon I spawn, I deal with cav first. At least with those willing to try their luck with me. Then I'm hunting archers, I'm killhoring only if I spot friendlies having trouble ganking someone while I'm on my archers hunt. After that I fight melee, at the very end.

I'm not useful as a part of the melee blob and frankly speaking there's more than enough candidates for that role with a proper build (STR oriented).

I'm not a healer, I'm not a tank, I'm definately not a support/ranger. I'm a motherfucking rogue. Assassin. Picking off targets which can win the match. That's what I do, that's why I have this build.

Mr. Swedish teenager doesn't like me. Good for him. I think he's boring kid with good reflexes and a little brain capacity who has only one trick and that's right poleaxe swing followed by super fast poleaxe thrust, praying for polestagger, rince and repeat. Against that you can be patient and win or get bored and lose.  Sadly I don't always have enough patience to match his superior "skill".

Post by: Bulzur on June 02, 2012, 09:25:24 pm
What i certainly don't miss from the "old cRPG" is :

-the fact you carried on a percentage of your wpf, as free wpf. The higher your generation, the higher the percentage. That leaded people to stack AGI for the first gens, then start a full STR gen, with still 150 wpf in their 2h weapon.
-the crushthrough morningstar, wich coupled with the above was unbeatable in 1v1. (Corado_Decimo or something was a real god then. Fearsome)
-the deadly archers, deadly in melee, with over 200 wpf in archery. ( That dear Birdman and chimp. Was fun killing Birdman though, and i usually always got owned by chimp.)

What i do miss :
-the real heroes we had back then. With real knightly equipment
-the low skill-level. Now, 90% of the players know to block, and if you don't team up, you'll get screwed. Even if it's a team game, it discourages the mighty ninjas and gankers. (before they got owned by range, but could still dodge. Now, they get own by cav.)
-the low number of cav. It's really dull now. You're friends are offline ? Don't play, else it's easily and quickly boring.


What i'm happy we now have :
-slot system. Longbow archer + 2 stacks of arrows + great maul.
-huge wpf reduction with armor for range. The above with an ugly black armor.
-better overall balance
-awesome new game mods
-a rocking strategus wich is always improved.


All in all. I'm happy. I miss some of the old players (dear Bane, master of the Caravan Guild. :'( ), get owned because i didn't improve as fast as the others, but there's still old players who stick around. And an active community. And the same great dev team.

I said I didn't like your playstyle, (you're obviously that one twat in every game who keeps yapping on about lame stealth mechanics and blahee-blahey) but now you went personal so by all means keep going.

It'll be fun when you realize how much of a fool you're making yourself out to be.

It'll be like that awkward moment when you just find out you got HIV from shagging your sister.

I wonder how many people who voted for New cRPG actually did play Vanilla...

And why is Sniper Crossbow a "Lol-weapon"? It's the same as the Arbalest.

New cRPG isn't balanced, either. I could probably think of some "Lol-weapons" as well.
no upkeep sound soo awesome,

but that isn't
old system was for hardcore grinders and was the most unfriendly system for new players ever

It's not like I'm the one who cares here. It's you. You started playing few months after me and you're the one who started talking with me. For me, you're nothing more than a frag in my chat window.

I won't really argue with some of these pro-new crpg retards but all in all is Leshma, Aussie guys and Teeth summed it all up in the best possible way.


If you seriously compare Old CRPG at its golden days vs current cRPG and actually for a second think current cRPG is better then you are a bonafide lunatic. Either that or you just pretend that you have played original cRPG.

I really really don't pro-realism changes like slots and unsheatable weapons. Reason why I play cRPG and not native is because I like active community and I also like the fact that I don't have to change my setup every single round.

Changes that make life harder for lazy people like me (slots, unsheatable tag and newest ready for battle) are something I want to see removed from this game.

Hahahah you want so much power, it was possible in vanilla but not now  :twisted:. I remember having fun times with 106 speed katana and having sniper xbow and pike as backup stuff. Those things won't be removed, you can remove yourself from the community though. New crpg ftw. The only thing which would be cool having back is the small xp/gold reward from kills.

You're not the only female playing this game. All other females should be subjected to the same horrible, horrible treatment do you now suffer, according to you. Yet, you seem to be the only one. Maybe it's just because you are a loudmouthed idiot?

I don't want power, I just want ability to be cav hybrid and in current cRPG that's not possible. To be 1Hcav you have to drop heavy lance and taking it back isn't an easy thing to do.

I will always be pro-hybrid although I'm pure build for a whole year.

Things can be balanced differently but I guess that Paul (or whoever put those limitations) chose an easier way.

Hybrids were OP in vanilla, and they are not supposed to be OP, just good in that and this in a usable way, not being a killmachine because of it. I remember when we had 2h/throwing dudes with 7ps and 7PT at once (with 1 throwing wpf), that was insane. Then, plated HA on horse with flamberge, etc.

Not at all. It's not that deep. Pretty simple actually. Happens in everyday life and in online communities also.

You see, I was among the first who managed to get everything loomed (after Fasader stole looms from older players). That allowed me to dominate less fortunate players for certain period of time. People I mentioned were still kinda new and unknown to community and they wanted to meet those who seemed to be good at the game. After some time they progressed, became better and started laughing at the previous "role-model" everytime they managed to defeat him (don't get me wrong, I don't think I was anyone's role-model but that's how it usually goes).

I never cared about it as much as they did. And even today, those people keep stalking me but in a negative way, even insulting.

I'm still nice to newcommers, maybe I shouldn't be. Maybe I should tell them to fuck off when they try to contact me (or ignore them like chadz does lol). Being nice to people rarely pays off because people aren't any better than hyenas (countless loom giveout threads have proven that).

Yes, lancer/1h hybrid is totally underpowered and underused; noone ever plays it and because it's such a shitty and extremely hard to play class those fools who do tend to do real bad.

Listen up kid, I do have a sister and I care about her. You obviously don't have, if you had you wouldn't talk like that. Problem with internet is that there is so many single kids who have no close relatives and aren't able to make a difference between a real friend and imaginary internet friend. That's why we have so many gaming communities where everyone thinks he's someone's best friend lol

I have two sisters and you still don't seem to get it.

I wasn't talking about your sister at all. I was just making an analogy, which I thought you'd get since you're so old and wise.

Unless that is you're going down the "incest is not to be spoken of in such a manner, shame on you!"-route, but then you're so far off the actual point I'm not even sure if it's valid to call it a strawman.

EDIT: And to further elaborate: It is of course implied that you should realize that shagging your sister is a bad idea long before getting the test because shagging your sister is FUCKED UP, and although I dislike using the expression, one of the few things I'd consider plain WRONG. So even if you're sitting with your head real far up your white, shiny arse of moral high ground you got nothing to yap on about there either.

4 slots are a knavery. You can't go on with eg. a lance, knightly shield and a poleaxe like a proper knight. You can't have an archer with a proper defense weapon, so all of them are agispam kite builds bar a few. Can't say I like.

Never going to see eg. Wookiemonsta in his knightly gear pulling out the lolboulder when dismounted and smashing heads.

Some other changes, yes. Unsheathable weapons are a good idea. Eh... For some reason, crpg seems laggier these days, or my old laptop is finally dying.

Sorry, but 1h/lancer cav hybrid is one of the most broken and easy things to do for melee. It's insanely easy to pick up a lance off the ground since there are so many cav on each team, they are plentiful.


Anyways, I came right when new crpg started I believe, but I like the competitive play. I don't think I would be a fan of being a peasant. That's the part I hated most in crpg, and glad it's much shorter in new crpg. It still took me a few weeks I believe before I got necessary gear for myself.

ITT: See oldmy old friends clash with newmy old friends clash with wannabe oldmy old friends.

Seriously. What is wrong with you all? We are all playing the same game and yes, it has changed and some of us might not even remember or might not have been around for that long. But almost every change has been for the better. 1 step back and two steps forward. chadz & Co have been very successful, dare I even say groundbreaking in their conceptual innovations. A lot of developers could learn a lot from these two.

Mod now aside and more onto delving in the problem with our community and why today's community will not go nicely with old cRPG: cmp mentioned early in this thread that player skill was far from what it is today, and the novelty factor, which could be translated to "OMG that guy has plate! *_*", is no longer actual. One legendary day I remember racking up 64 kills with no deaths until being ended by a teammate, I was using full milanese and matching plate mittens and greaves while sporting a flamberge with the 2h animations, except for thrust of course. Today this is not possible at all. It saddens me because I have been forced to deal with the consequences of my behaviour back then(giant asshat with an even bigger ego). :lol:

Anyway, as much as I miss the old cRPG it will never be reality again. That is why I think most people romanticize it. It was a horrible grindfest to get that 10k flamberge and 20k milanese plate, but you kept going because you saw how few players were using them and it was an exclusive feeling when you got the items. Nowadays, any fool can get plate, but it is nothing special anymore. Individual skill is no longer the only factor to success but how well you can abuse a long spear and how many people are charging in your gank squad. But what can we, who dream of olden days when we were heroes, do about it? Nothing at all. So that's why you have to adapt, and accept the fact that things will never be what they once was. Harsh and grim words but true nonetheless.

Tip for new players reading this thread not having a clue about what is being talked about: If you want to level fast, join a big clan like Byzantium and use their exclusive banner. It will take you approx. one week to reach lvl 30, if not less. Also works for veteran players tired of being pubstomped. If you can't beat them, join them.

I've mentioned you once in that other thread and you keep talking to me even though I'm not answering in this thread.

I get it. You don't like me. No point in further discussion.

Btw. when I said dominated I mean being first on the scoreboard because that's what most people in this community value the most. I'm not one of them but I know about it.

Oberyn, only reason why I play this game is to smash some virtual heads, nothing more. All these reactions are because I said something or did something. I'm not doing because I want to get the reaction out of it, I'm doing it because I feel like that.

If you're annoyed that much by my presence on forums and in-game you should ask cmpx or someone else who has power to permanently ban me on forums so you don't have to read stuff I'm writing (if you're lazy enough to just put me on ignore list). About ingame, well I would like full name change but that comes with a price, which I'm not willing to pay. Admins can probably change my name and therefore I'm asking them to do me a favor, and to rest of EU community who are annoyed by my actions. I bet all this drama will stop the moment they stop seing Leshma on the scoreboard :wink:

Being bad at this game was almost as fun as being good. If not more fun.

There were heroes that everyone looked up to, wanted to be like, etc

There were stupid yet funny weapons. Boulder on stick, lolaxe. sniper xbow (was more accurate and did more pierece and was 1 slot)

New cRPG is fun but only for satisfying my ego really.

Im level 34 and what do.
Only gen 11 on huey and I could have been gen 38 or 39 by now. Minus my respec
And a gen 6 alt

meh strat isn't what it was in strat 1 or 2
So I would conclude the game is more balanced and more competitive but not more fun than it was in the past.

I like the game, THE GAME with it's rules and challenges and everything good attached to it. I'm not interested in its community or players that much yet they keep bothering me all the time, even making fake characters to mimic my nick.

You can be Berenger and TavukBey and have "that kind of fun" in any random and generic online game which has more than 200 active players. You can be successful Berenger even in Hello Kitty online. I'm not interested in that, I'm here to play a game with best combat currently there is.

I can't even imagine how horrible being bad at the new cRPG must be. Back in the old times bad skill wasn't that much of a problem, the main goal of a puny peasant being survival.

You can keep playing for fun until you finally reach level 35 and do something stupid with those points you receieve as reward. After that you'll be heading to level 36 which is at 418.780.850 XP. You'll need a year and a half for that, at least. If cRPG survives until then.

Duel is kinda boring. Same old people with same old builds with same old sense of self greatness. I used to play duel when Unreal was still playing the game. He was fun to duel against. Likes of Dezilagel and co. are not fun to duel because they are silly kids with a good connection and fast reflexes who have one, the most boring style ever.

But what is still fun is using trollish weapons or styles, furthermore there's always people that are nice to duel with. Duelling with a katana-shield combo was hilarous. You do make a point though.

Leshma no offense but you are not exactly fun to play against either, with your 8 athletics. I like you as a person, but can't say the same about your playstyle. But ad hominem arguments don't make difference and especially not because I agree with your problem.

Truth be told, the only person I ever enjoyed fighting with was Phyrex. Now I don't fight people because I enjoy to, I enjoy to fight the challenge of their playstyle because I know there are always other people like them in battle. So better deal with it and suck it up. Phyrex doesn't even play cRPG but very seldomly, a shame really. And even if we duel, it's ruined by armour and slowness of combat and blocking till the other guy gets bored. Why do you think he switched to highly inferior katana? Range is everything when speed is nothing.

1) I do agree Bjord. Fighting agi whores is annoying. However it's not that hard. You see Bjord, I don't know how to spam attacks, that's why I hold attacks all the time. All you have to do is, when I'm trying to get behind you, just do a dance move (180 spin) and overhead swing at me and I'm dead. Athletics isn't useful when I'm facehugging someone because even if you get behind it's not auto win situation. People with lower pings usually block me from behind, that's why I don't like fighting them.

2) Well, the man is here but I'll still semi-quote him, after he picked katana after being annoyed by slowness of greatsword:

Ninjas say how mind is the armor lol, their only armor is spam.

Something along those lines.

Katana is inferior in large battles, however in duels isn't always inferior weapon. If you're not facing someone who's really good at chambering or who's staying at distance all the time katana can be very good weapon.

I can't kill Phyrex in duel. However I can annoy him a bit with my holds and hit him a few times (although he always chambers my overhead and thrust attack). But I can't do shit against Phyrex the Ninja, simply because I can't block him.

And thanks to speed bonus and semi-random damage Katana can slice up even plated knights in few slashes. Katana buff was a mistake, that's all I have to say.

He never said he had any problems beating you, (I really doubt he has) just that you're boring. Reading comprehension fail again, maybe you're growing a little too old and your brain has started to rot or something :?:

EDIT: Also lol @ "katana OP!"

Sure it's fast (well, relatively, c-rpg is slow as balls), but it's got such glaring flaws (thrust, range...) it's hardly OP.

Katana buff was not a mistake, and you can rarely see someone serious with it. You are just mad because your gay long greatsword is not 100+ speed. Katana does not have an useful thrust, short, but has speed, so it is balanced, and non-loomed ones are pretty useless.

There is no such thing as killwhoring. Killing someone from behind is actually useful, ecpecially if that enemy player is a shielder or even worse, hoplite. Doing that you save precious time for your team so they can again look behind them for backstabing cavalry or ranged.

Nothing worse than seing 10 teammates desperately trying to kill KingGylpe by attacking frontally...

That's why I avoid teammates most of the time, they simple aren't useful at all and that's because in current state of cRPG where everyone is backpedaling helicopter it's actually easier to kill a player one on one than ganking him with your teammates.

Unless you're abusing pikes...

Leshma, find a good guy with whom you can communicate on teamspeak. Then engage 2 or 3 enemies and start your and your friend's magic. Dance around, feit, do whateva, switch targets... It is easy. I am sure if you were playing together you could do much more than being alone easy-to-gang-in-the-number-of-2 player.
Sometimes I play with Flax, Rebelyell, steevee, bagge, Seroth, WhiteKnight or other friends. Teammates usually help you. Ofc there are some freshers running around and you shouldn't expect high fighting abilities from them, but still I and Flax or Rebel can kill quite a lot of good players by fast-gang. You know, 1 by 1 by 1 by 1... Yesterday on EU1 we were in some kind of huge hole in the ground. There were still like over 20 enemies and we were only 2 left ( I and Flax ). Enemies underestimated us and were jumping, falling etc. A few of them managed to fight with us and so we killed like 8-10 enemies. In the end I got killed by Dieler and other byz guy because flags appeared and I was at really low hp. If I didn't fall down while going to the bottom of that hole I would still have more than 50% hp then. and still a chance to win. TEAMMATES ARE USEFUL you just need to know how to teamwork with them. It's unconcious so sometimes you don't need to talk with them.

Also you said something like killwhoring=backstabbing

Killwhoring is when you are beating a guy, you have hit him 4 times and he is about to die and then your teammate hit you and then your enemy, so in fact he has a kill and you lost a small part of your health without any reason (just an example). That's why killwhoring is unwanted. Imagine a cav that engages every melee fights just to hit the enemy. CRPG has a lot of cool cav and I really like them, but some of cav are just still 2 new and unexperienced so they teamhit or teambump in front of enemies. What we must remember is that we should forgive them and give another chance or just calmly warn them that they do that wrong. Also they pay huge upkeep for horses that are dying easily from leg-hits. Respect for horsemen for the patience.

If that wasn't the case making me an admin would do wonders when it comes to ingame drama.

I would totally tear apart your admin clique where you're all acting like best frineds, licking each others you know what whole day. And would do everything to make that britmy old friend kiddo mad.

I was damn sure I was feinting... You can still do a lot of tricks and you know it. You are just angry because some people can block you for a long time even if you do the spin-hold-fake-double-chamber-hitslash. Also with a kick lol. It's harder to kill but if you made game faster, I wouldn't be able to do anything against hitslashing or 1h-leftswinging people with lower ping (yeh I hate 1h left swing). Ping is everything and you can see that on strategus when additional lags come and make your delay feel like if it was 120 ping despite game says it's 70. Everybody feels like a strange decrese of skill then. This is what I noticed.

Old time ago I was counting how many times I killed Phyr. It was 13 times I killed Phyr. Once I managed to do that 2 times during the same map :D It was a goal for me to be a good 2h then. It was like 9 kills in duel and the rest on the battle server. After that Phyr was rarely present on servers so I stopped counting. Come back you basterd! I want to keep counting! 1 more non-archer player is still a good thing!

I had more fun in old cRPG as well, but that's because of different circumstances (novelty factor, less player skill...).
I'm pretty sure if we brought it back it wouldn't last more than a week or two. Oh wait, we did that. :wink:

Having to choose now, I think new cRPG is a thousand times better.

you can have both

less   upkeep
3 level more   so that 38 is affordable as is 35 now.
and re-put the old area gold xp- mixed with new one  but   with less power


so you will get best of  both system and instead making happy   55% of ppl  (who like new one)
you will make happy 100%

is that harD?


how many of old player you see again cmp ?   many play becouse when you develop a char with 30 gen  you play cause that not becouse game entusiasm you.

human behavior is  abitudinary.  ppl many times not change game becouse they love to make same stuff, and not abandon theyr archievment.

look me chadz unbanned me    what was 1  year ago ? i returned play only recently.    and only becouse i am bored of other game i was playng, and here i have a nice uber char,   certainly not becouse c-rpg is fantastic now.    i still prefer old one

and tbh  first 2 page i read here is all ppl sayng OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD.

you can have both 


Im with vicious, old rewards (nerfed of course, no gain for lvl 30+ when killing peasants) and new timegain, also remove block from greatswords and greataxes, the huge polearms, etc. Game is win, we all happy. Oh and nerf movespeed on silly rangers, they suck balls and must know it, not hero it, it can be hard to hit sometimes with fucked hitboxes and aiming but it is still sillyeasy to kiteshoot.

The fact that we'd like teamwork to be the primary factor in roflstomping, followed by player skill? We're not quite there, but we gotta start somewhere.
I still call bullshit on you not being able to roflstomp, I see players who are much less experienced/skilled than you topping the scoreboard pretty much every time they play (no, not talking about lancers).

Maybe the part that cRPG isn't a duelling platform and we really don't give a fuck about it. Besides this complaint can be paraphrased as people don't die when I sneeze in their general direction anymore, fix it.
If anything, I'd say that melee mechanics needs to be toned down especially in regards to movement speed, since right now it's mostly agi-monkey bullshit with no space for any sort of teamwork in formations* and a lot of room for lone heroes forever-backpeddle-kiting.

I agree with Phyrex, so much of the depth has been taken out from the melee combat. Any 1v1 melee fight that you are going to have with a good player is really just a matter of endurance, whoever gets tired and makes a dumb mistake loses, killing even an average player takes forever since blocking is no challenge at all for someone who has spent some time trying to learn it and that is not an exaggeration. You can try to make the game be more teamwork based and all that stuff and that's good but why did you need to dumb down melee combat that much.
Title: Re: Which cRPG did you prefer?
Post by: Phyrex on June 03, 2012, 02:10:49 am
I know what you mean, but it doesn't work like that.

Teamwork works in a controlled setting with clans in matches, European Native Pro League and Native Pro League, all matches with trained clans, that's where you'll find teamwork. The clans you see on cRPG on the public servers are not teamworking, they're a zerg-squads all whoring for kills. On public servers, I just want to go in there and kill as many players as I can, I don't want to teamwork with 100 other players I don't know and don't want to know, I'll teamwork with my clan on Strategus.

You have to seriously think about this, melee combat is just not fun, exciting or have the depth anymore. When the skill-roof is so low and when the veterans hit it for some time, you'll lose them, just like you've pretty much lost me and a lot of other players.

[Edit]: Tot. , what a comical post, where did all the veteran Grey players go? You know, the good Grey players like Okocha, Szymczak, New_Player_Ftw, GorN, etc?

You can always become better. Hitslashes are damn fast anyway and what is wrong with the endurance? It's like players stamina which is a part of skill isn't it? If you want to just enter the server and slash everybody easily you can go singleplayer or native. Here killing a simple person requires some attention but it is more rewarding. It's not like you can't kill yourselves. It will just take a bit more time.

Your missing the point. Fighting someone 1v1 is not much of a challenge anymore, the skill cap is low, the fights are not exciting, it's just a boring exhange of blows and it really isn't so much about you executing a good move to kill the enemy but more about waiting for them to eventually just screw up.

Ok, we understand that. But we don't base the balance on fighting 1v1, because Duel mode is not the primary mode (and as much as we'd like it, we can't have different balance for each mode).
Title: Re: Which cRPG did you prefer?
Post by: TurmoilTom on June 03, 2012, 02:30:12 am
I, personally, think cRPG would be more fun if melee combat was more risky and fast. Reduced armour values across the board, maybe another small nerf to armor looms, a considerable buff to agility builds (Obvious lobbyism is obvious.), server speed increased to fastest instead of medium, maybe increased weapon speeds on top of it all...

... Oh, and nerf archers, can't have anything without nerfing archers. We should always nerf archers. It's not like I'm a 12/27 shielder build that has no trouble with them or anything. Hell, remove them from the game. I hate archers.

On the actual topic of the thread: I wasn't around back when there was the old EXP system but if it encouraged shieldwalls more than this system there was something right with it.

I think yes something happened, in the light of melee combat becoming more and more ineffective due to the average skill level increasing, ranged weapons were repeatedly nerfed to prevent the mod from becoming another Native. If that hasn't been done we would all be gone or using bows at the moment. So that's a start.

But fixing the combat for directional combat to be what actually wins melee fights instead of reach abuse and spam tricks when everybody and their grandmothers can block, that is a lot harder.

Because a player who does that is faster than any player who's standing still. That way he's turning into his attack and it's hard for a player who see the attack the moment this one has turned to react.

^Leshma, Shut up.


New cRPG killed AUS dead. The Learning curve is not steep and it doesn't take long for someone to become good. With fewer players only the very skilled and very stupid stuck with it. Yes we did end up with a super race of fast, efficient, clever and tactically well versed players. This micro environment is not conducive with veteran players who deserve to win. (whine all you like) if you put in the time and effort you should be the best, atm that is not the case.


What has happened to cRPG AUS will happen to NA and EU as more experienced players realize native has better combat and equal player motivation. I miss cRPG but honestly it is unplayable atm. Im not saying old cRPG was a better game it really wasn't but the community, freshness and persistence(call it grinding if you are a puss)  are long gone it takes a few hours to have a good character and kill good players. I have taken to playing on NA servers just because it is more fun to kill through randomness than through speed.

I'm all for more complex melee combat, starting with:

1. Overhead stab for spear that goes above teammates heads, attacking as support from second row.
2. Chance for dropping weapon when kicked or bumped, hence sidearms would become useful again.
3. Lowered movement speed and athletics bonuses to reduce kiting and increase thinking about positioning in a group fight.
4. Breakable lances, spears, pikes and such.
5. Crouching
6. Minimum distance for effectively using weapons (especially long weapons like two-handed axes) below which one hits with the shaft/hilt dealing minimal damage.

Like you see, more complex has nothing to do with make it ultra-speed so people can't block again, now! like was pretty much posted before.

I say they should fix before adding.

I can just picture the mass of "skilled" players finding a way to abuse the Crouch to net them easy kills because of breaking the engine in a million different ways with their crouch wiggle swings.

The kicking suggestion is also stupid, there's players out there that are crazy good at kicking and side weapons will probably be much shorter than your main, effectively making the chance you get kicked even higher at which point you'd just have to punch the guy in the face.

That suggestion would also encourage getting the longest weapon in the game and just backpedalling and jump spinning all over the place.

It is easier to block standing still then moving around.

Don't call spamming mindlessly dancing.

There's a problem with that: chadz doesn't like old cRPG more and I don't like old cRPG more. Unless somebody pays me, I sure as hell won't be developing that.

he not even play crpg since 2 year. and you too play very less i hardly find you online playng, and i not have seen chadz 1 single time in 3 months,  where in old  crpg i was seeing him almost daily,    who care what chadz like tbh ? or you?, we all here   to  to play  something only you and chadz agree 100% ?  while   rest of community value nothing?  you make this mod for yourself or for the ppl who play it? let me understand it clearly.

if the game is objectively better  with a hybrid system   why you or chadz say no on this ? becouse you 0,2% not like it? you both not even play it,not as much to understand your own game mechanics, and how a game become stagnate.

I returned after what 1 year of inactivity, and you now what is the biggest change i noticed? your     click rdy button under equipment.
Rest  chars, development, retirement , xp mode, balancement its still the same of last summer.   

100% of player   will enjoy a hibrid system that have the best of old and new. is called logic and common sense,  task of a modder or developer in whatever online game is accomplish and satisfy majority of ppl, not his own  and only taste.

You like gelato? i like too, but i like much more chocolate gelato, if i open a gelato store you think i am going to serve only chocolate taste? becouse i like it?       or you think i do what is best for my  guests? offer all variety ? withouth renouncing to my own taste.

I still like the mod,(probably becouse i not play for a long time ) but in pre 2000 i was admin of an italian ultima online server with 500 player online,     i NEVER AND SAY NEVER,  imposed my own taste , over the 500 players,      becouse if that taste was  too against the community taste, was a stupid choice.
And tbh i not lost interest in it over time, i always  have done things i believed where better, accordingly to my personal choices, unless that choice made ppl  angry, unhappy, unsatisfy,         when you offer a work to a community, you  enjoy it more :  when   more ppl appreciate it  with you, than you do for yourself, but it come last.  becouse the biggest  payback is seeing your work getting liked by more and more ppl.  but maybe this value only for me.

analyze this poll almost  46% of community prefer old,        is a sign to anybody who not pretend to be blind.

50% of this mod community like old system.                       so do your best ,  take best of old and new and mix it, is really a tabu for you?


just for say i am probably the most banned player in the c-rpg story, i got banned over 25 times in  6 months. last year,   but i also  always criticize chadz openly, same for the staff,  offering alternatives , not sterile critics,    and i am still here, becouse they chosed it,     that for me is a very good sign, that in real  they listen, even if they act like they not do, otherwise i not was going to waste my times in this intervents.

Vicious, I agree with most of the points you made, but don't forget that this is a free mod of a game, so the "online game" approach is irrelevant, they do it in their freetime, making it non-profit.

So they don't have to listen to the demands of the "masses", and accept them all the time anyway.

you think i was payed for administrate and scrip an ultima online server? nope. was passion.  and no i too not was forced to liten the mass, but if you not listen your own community

Why you do this lets say  hobby?   , the biggest payback is your community growing supporting and  having fun with your "creature" , or i am the only one who think like this?

personally i think thad chadz have talent for transform c-rpg into a real mmo,   or a stand alone project, not only a mod,   but what he lack is that comunication with the community, a mix of his own taste and  "common taste" a middle choice
He can transform this mod into something real,    even something that will bring him real money, making this his  main job., he have good ideas, good concept,  i like  slow hard games.

can you imagine c-rpg in a map  big    500x times  current map? where clans have  theyr castle , form alliance fight for, in a persistent world? with free pvp   based mainly on your skill like is this mod?        with something like that chadz will make millions. all he need is his own graphics engine or a licenze from m&b, i am sure he is good enought for build up che comunication code  of the main  server.

I think and is a personal hope, that deeply chadz intend to do something like this and c-rpg is a sort of test-ground for his abilities


I am here since the mod was 1 month young with what 20 player on the server, i like it i support it, but that not make me a stupid fanboy, all know me as rude and direct, but sometimes having someone like me , who spit  up problems (or cause problems) make the game grow.

MO is that Vicious is right, and Tot. is right. But also it currently works WELL FOR EVERYONE that there is a "ceiling" to what can be done, because the time of 1player dominating a server is over, and sure its great fun to be that guy, most of us who have been here for over 2 years have had that time, but it can be very disheartening for the people who cannot do that, and Vicious, sometimes what is best for EVERYONE is better for the game than what is better for "the top 5%"...


And yes, again you are right Vicious, for chadz to take game any further realistically he would need purpose designed engine, since a massive game that needs fast responses is not possible in m&b, as Im sure anyone who has tried PW mod will agree, it...kinda works...but lags....

it lags not cause graphics but becouse  the map is over loaded, is an fps  overall, an mmo  will have multple server dedicated to multiple zone connected to each other.

technically the pvp system and the engine can handle this very good,    what lack is the  comunication engine behind,  the servers nodes that will need to administrate the "sections" of the map





returning to c-rpg that poll say that ppl

1) want another xp gold system
2) want more deep pvp mechanics.  such as stamina  revamp of the system etc

You cater to the masses if you want to try to make a profit. That's why there is a glut of unfun games that are real pretty to look at. And people actually like them, it's true.

You make a real cool game because you want to.

No dev should seriously waste their time sorting through endless threads searching for a nugget of usefulness. That's what lickspittles are for.

For the "1on1 is too slow" lobotomised: why not open a duel server and set it to the fastest speed? The duel gays can hang out there then. For battle and siege we prefer the slower speed so a wider array of ping is playable even with lots of players around.

Edit: typo, it's *guys

To add depth to combat I could think of something like hotkey triggered dodge/charge speed bursts like the goalie dive in rageball(without falldown animation). No idea what actual impact on combat that would have though.

Post by: Castor on June 03, 2012, 09:20:37 am
I personally prefer the new c-RPG. It has stability and is more competitive for both new and old player alike.

That being said,

Old c-RPG while grindy and harsh on new players had that priceless and genuine FUN feeling about it. LOL weapons, who doesn't miss seeing a ridiculous looney toons axe swinging in the distance or a boulder on a stick smashing some poor peasants head to bits. Also the 250 WPF stacked toons running around spamming katana as fast as possible, not to mention the beautiful male brides fighting in style.

New c-RPG is more stable and balanced...but the cost was we lost that FUN and care-free feel to it. It feels rather too uptight and less of a community now imho.

P.S. perhaps its just nostalgia talking.....

I ofc haven't thought all the balance changes through etc but how does having more challenge and depth to the melee combat ruins team combat exactly? For example nerfing 2h feinting to oblivion, i would say that the old 2h feinting only should really be a problem for the opposing player in a 1v1 fight, in team battles anyone who knows how to teamplay can simply attack him from 2 different directions and kill him. Ofc everyone dosen't know how to teamplay properly or just engage him 1v1 and might end up getting killed but then isn't that actually a incentive for players to teamplay and learn to do it well rather then somehow destroying team combat?
Title: Re: Which cRPG did you prefer?
Post by: Momo on June 03, 2012, 01:27:25 pm
Interesting that the "pros" are arguing that 1v1 is shit. It's perfectly fine , and you can make a troll build if you want. You are just mad that most of the people can block now. I am not pro, but there are times when I top the scroberoard with my Mighty Goedendag so your argument is invalid.

Indeed, you should be required to win battles in order to get gold and xp, otherwise you'd just win enought to keep you in the game. People would suddenly give a crap about teamplay.

New all the way, old one was fun at first but then everyone had bought all the robocop gear it was ridiculous. Also robocop archers were a pain when they were good at both melee and ranged. Ranged did insane damage and throwing was pretty much a one-shot kill all the time. I dont see how people would prefer this over the new refined balanced crpg, but i guess its the nostalgia making people miss the old one. Almost forgot the tincan-one hit sniper crossbow combo too, oh good times..


I do have some good memories from the older crpg, finally getting my armour pieces and stuff. And it was fun to watch the people who were skilled just slaughter everyone else because the average player skill was very low at that time... Also remember saving up for the "Bullets" which cost like 50k gold and i was so close then the gold value changed with the new gold/xp system and the bullets dissapeared and all my saved gold lost its value :(

The old combat speed was better. But devs made a decision where they wanted mobbing to be more effective than one person heroics. Not that they aren't still possible, a lot of good players still manage to outfight a bunch of people at once and it's cool when it happens, but not nearly to the same degree as before

And Leshma, maybe I wouldn't go around telling you your opinions are the rantings of a lunatic if you didn't post them all over the place. I get harassed with your bullshit chocolate chip cookie accusations on server constantly, to the point I asked you to duel me for the stakes of not doing it anymore, you lost and of course still do the same crap everytime I happen to kill you.

WTF is wrong with people, QQ-ing because everyone blocks you, ridiculous. Try to live with the fact that you are not the "best" because of the combat speed anymore.

Sometimes on eu1 my ping hits around 70 usually 50-60. With high combat speed i might as well not bother fighting a 20 ping agi great sword user. You say its your skill many say its just your pings, feinting so much that your opponent physically cant see the swings due to ping difference isn't skill, the current speed still allows truly skilled players to dominate, the average skill level is higher if you don't like everyone not dying instantly when you try to hilt slash then don't play.

  • Heavy armor - check
  • One of the greatswords - check

Why do i see patterns everywhere? :(

Yeah because there NEVER were scores like these with 1handers, bows, lances ONLY two handers!!111 HUGE PATTERN!!!!1111

Do we really need to dig up a bunch of screenshots to prove that? :lol:

I made way better scores as a Lancer back then - with Bec/LHB - than ever was possible with a Great Sword, unless being defender on Siege mode (which also would be harder).

Weapon of choice doesn't matter for those who are well enough "trained" (anyone can become good with a little dedication).

C-RPG gameplay would be much better off if it had some of its old speed returned. Slower speed = dumbed down = for the masses.

(Latency does help tremendously in MNB though, can feel a huge different playing with ping 10 or just my regular ping 50/60) - but I am against any sort of latency compensation.

And why would everyone opt to get tincan armor? Using tincan armor would slow you down and or perhaps not fit everyones roleplay as.

Just because it's the best armor in terms of protection doesn't mean it's what everyone would choose.

see you cant realize the difference? not was about speed of attacks, but the ability to feint and make the fight more dinamic, not cause of spam, consider also looms not where here, so yes we where faster but dmg where probably inferior, wpf not determine much speed is more about, of your weapon movement and patterns.
i can say that when i was lev 41 in milanese plate  shield+scimitar,    duelling vs olwen or cybern where much more interesting different and dinamic. than now.              now is all about waiting for a mistake or double spamming a left attack  for a glitch

and i not remember any tincan spam,   on a 100 man server maybe 15 where tincan.  now is more , becouse when you loom  an entire set of armor-weapon-shield now, trust me is much more  uber that stuff now,    than a tincan in the past.

to give you an idea in Merc_ only ppl who where using a tincan set where me and gingerpussy from a total of 20-25 player. so i never saw that proliferation

see you cant realize the difference? not was about speed of attacks, but the ability to feint and make the fight more dinamic, not cause of spam, consider also looms not where here, so yes we where faster but dmg where probably inferior, wpf not determine much speed is more about, of your weapon movement and patterns.
i can say that when i was lev 41 in milanese plate  shield+scimitar,    duelling vs olwen or cybern where much more interesting different and dinamic. than now.              now is all about waiting for a mistake or double spamming a left attack  for a glitch

and i not remember any tincan spam,   on a 100 man server maybe 15 where tincan.  now is more

I can see the difference, feint is still here (I admit it's harder to use now(I rarely use it), never cared about it though, I find it lame, such a cheap trick to get a free hit). And I remember clearly, nearly every tincan spammed something (even flamberg!), I did the same on around lvl 43, 60+ armor and 106 speed katana and I was mostly countered by similiar setups (even worse, when polepoop used the blunt bec... that was more troll than my build). It was ridiculous. Tincans were mostly on siege though, I played there too because of the better xp. I am totally fine with the current game speed, I found other troll build so I can have fun without any problem. Try to riposte, that's still possible and makes the duels interesting.

I puke over the fact that close to 200 trolls voted new crpg and only 80 voted old.


Here's an idea. Re-release ''Xmas-CRPG'' under a new name so people won't be confused whether it will be shut down or not (thus not even wanting to play because they're scared of a possible wipe). Or put the OLD CRPG database in the hands of some saint/good guy who are responsible and willing to take care of it.


By that i mean you (CMP, chadz and rest of dev team) willing to put Old CRPG and permission and everything with it in the hands of one or a few responsible guys who will take care of it.

That includes separate database for old crpg, picking an admin team with proper admins who will ban people who breaks the rules ingame.

And you don't even have to lift a finger. (If all of this is possible that is).

I think that with a NA and EU server and an admin team that properly makes sure people doesn't break the rules and such on the servers and that also takes care of old-crpg i'm 100% sure that Old-CRPG will get the attention it deserves.


I mean, here's a handful of reasons Xmas CRPG failed.

: No admins to keep check on things (banpoll warfare), no support at all for Xmas CRPG. No NA server which alot of NA players wanted.

So TL;DR bottomline. If you let a handful of responsible people be in charge of OLD CRPG separate mod (database, servers then i'm sure it will satisfy alot of peeps.

Re-read my post. There were basically 3 reasons XmasCRPG failed. Because 1: Nobody knew when it would end and thought it would be stupid to play for some week or so if it would end in less than a month (XMASCRPG name) and 2: There were no official support of it (which a handful of responsible people could fix)

And 3: This is basically something we just would have to live with but Vovka and Kunio were full fledged my old friendchers while most people just got into the game pretty much. Guess the results...

no support?
so it was a lame release iwith the purpose to make it fail, so they can say new is better, if old have a team of dev,  and the new feature.  will kick ass of new c-rpg

overall old c-rpg where better  for 2 things only

1) better level system /wpf etc
2) better xp system.

i think nobody deny here that new c-rpg have much more feature ,      but the core of the game "the fight and development  of your char" where better in old one.

It was taken down after the server just stayed empty. Why was it empty? Because it didn't take people long to realise why it was crap - the first super archers were already dominating, as well as horrible grind and lack of features. Old < New. Current cRPG with a different XP/gold method would be interesting though.

Why would that be so bad? Only bad thing from your side that i could see would be that it would ''split'' the community but to be honest. According to the polls there's more than enough players who voted new crpg. So why keep the nostalgic old-CRPG fans from getting what they want when you barely would have to lift a finger?

Ones who wants old CRPG gets what they want and everyone else can keep going with new CRPG.

More and more old timers who miss old CRPG leave the current CRPG anyhow. I'm not asking to change the current CRPG but just asking you why there just cannot be a revival of the old-CRPG as a ''separate mod''?

If you put up old cRPG it will really suck, because by now, at last, people have a clue how to build a toon. Sure the melee was fun. the archers not so much. And after the 50th time getting a throwing lance in the forehead, any of you would be a tad, dissapointed. Old cRPG is gone, all that is left is diamonds and rust.

No, there is 1 reason xmas cRPG failed: because it sucked.
There won't be any old cRPG revival, sorry.

I'm telling you again, that's not the reason.

I like old cRPG yet I didn't try xmas cRPG. Wasn't interested at all. Not because it sux but because it wasn't a serious project. We knew it's going to last for a month or two and frankly speaking, no one wanted to grind from the start.

People who play your mod like to grind. Before it were heirlooms and levels, now are mainly heirlooms the reason for grind. Wipe everything and you'll be lucky if 30% of your playerbase continue to play the mod. And those 30% would stay because they are used to playing cRPG daily.

I'm still playing because it's still fun (but a lot less than before) and because I have high level char which I want to tweak further. Some people who have similar character like me are already bored and are playing this mod a lot less. It's up to you to offer us (although we are minority) something or just let us leave the mod.

Mod wasn't about to die if you didn't change it back in january 2011. You and chadz changed it because you two didn't like it. You have to understand that we have no real alternative to cRPG at this moment and there weren't alternative back then. You can't fuck up so bad that people would leave in greater numbers because of it.

Problem is that you guys listen only to people who are close to you and think that their opinion is what community thinks. It's not like that, there is a lot more people outside those few clans and not more than 50 people from those clans who are you listening to.

Druzhina, Grey Order, Strangers, Pillagers on the one side; Fallen Brigade, HRE, Great Khans one the others, bunch of american clans (huge clans), huge number of Turkish clans, French clans, Dutch clans, German clans, Swedish clans,  as well and huge number of smaller clans are majority of players. And of course us lone wolves.

Not your usual quartet of clans you're listening to: Nordmen, Mercs, Guards and Byzantium. You might have greater respect for those players but they aren't majority.

And don't try to deny it, every Start when Mercs were in bad position, about to get wiped, you found some lame excuse (which is your fault because you didn't fix some bugs on time) to restart that Strat so your favorites can keep playing.

Also how many members Mercs and Guards have and how many of them are admins? I won't even mention Nordmen, we all know it's an admin clan and most of the devs are part of that clan.

I don't have anything against those clans but I feel there is no justice in cRPG.

Now Oberyn can start insulting me...

good is a start, towards better,  better wpf,  what about  levels? maybe 2-3 more levels will be reasonable too ? or taken into consideration?







About you leshma i agree, i never liked the fact that so few clans have soo many admins,  it bring obviously suspect that certain ppl is favored. and also bring forward only certain group way of think, even is if minority of community

but about merc, when i was in merc we got dunno maybe 6-7 admin, neverthless i was banned 1-2 week every month

Balance might be better than year a half ago but not as much as people like to believe (especially fail ninjas like Teeth).

What I think is that balance is there but it isn't awesome at all because it favors herp derp weapons like pikes, throwing and mauls. All because game is a lot slower than it used to be.

About new players and mod dead:

At first, chadz decided to change the mod because he was afraid that new players won't play cRPG because they got roflstomped. But what has really changed?

Nothing. They still get owned by veterans, only difference is that now some veteran disguised as peasant will kick their butt with peasant weapons, just a few moments when they finally, after 200 deaths, managed to save enough to buy some good lookin' armor and decent weapon...

After that, 5 out of 10 new players GTX this mod. Three players out of five left, are patient people and they will stay for few days more. Two who decided to stick with this mod are masohists, like majority of game population. They will go through intial rites, learn how manually block, get looms etc.

So it's not different to what it was before. Major difference is that before there were The_Finn, Tulsa Doom and other noobs who had epic gear and for a new player in every online game that's a sense of greatness (take WoW mounts for example).

And they don't mind to die to great players. What they do mind is to die to people who wear begginer gear, because they think they are:

CHEATERS!!!

Then why they changed the mod?

Because spineless, let influential clans asked them to change it to suit their taste better. Now you'll ask me to tell who I am thinking of? No problem bro, I'm not afraid to say what I think even if that means I'll get hatred on me. Who are they?

Mercs and Shogunate among the first!

Their self sense of greatness, their elitist attitute is something I never did and will never approve. Also that same attitude is the main reason why they don't have many players and why they NEVER will be important in the main feature of this mod, Strategus. Only thing left for those guys is rolfstoping pub server which is kinda sad imho, considering that two or three of them have trouble to take me down, casual and pug player, average at best...

There are so bad, they can't outwit a bunch of russian and polish kids who aren't smart at all. Yet they rape these so called "pros" Strat after Strat. Sad indeed.

That's why I think we don't have proper rewards and we're all forced to play on same level and retire and retire, like that has any point at all!

About strategus, I could tell you the story of one Finnish player who did something his ancestrors never did (made a pact with Russians) but that's a totally different story.


Alright. I'm convinced. You are truly , really a complete idiot.

What I understood is "blah blah blah, I am 2 good for you! You slow, unskilled, damn bastards leave now! You slow the game so hard I can't top the charts and my penis is now not as hard as it was because of the new crpg!"

You are pitiful to whine at current manual system if you are getting killed in 1vs1... Haven't you just said that it was to help noobs? Why are you getting killed in 1vs1 if it is easier now. Combat is slow, enemy can't even feint...

You are so pitiful to boost your self-esteem by being good in a GAME and do you really think that good or skilled players know perfectly how to balance a game? Their opinion might be helpful but it is still influenced by lack of the feeling that they are best. DAMN E-PEEN made you self-lovers that care mostly about stats.

Stop being cocky on our forum and on a server. I guess people are fed up with listening how skilled other players are.
If you are getting killed -> you make mistakes -> if you make mistakes -> you aren't master of combat yet -> if you aren't master of combat -> don't require harder level of combat...

I can understand Phyr getting bored because he pwns the most of mentioned players.  Chase and a few others are battle masters as well. Others are mostly self-loving-in-their-own-legend-believing-bigheaded-good-players.

DON'T TAKE THIS DAMN GAME TOO SERIOUSLY

What I understood is "blah blah blah, I am 2 good for you! You slow, unskilled, damn bastards leave now! You slow the game so hard I can't top the charts and my penis is now not as hard as it was because of the new crpg!"

You are pitiful to whine at current manual system if you are getting killed in 1vs1... Haven't you just said that it was to help noobs? Why are you getting killed in 1vs1 if it is easier now. Combat is slow, enemy can't even feint...

Alright. I'm convinced. You are truly , really a complete idiot.

You know what Ujin, I just once of twice insulted someone like you just did and like many did before you. But I insulted the wrong person and got instant mute (100 points).

I'm not doing it anymore (because I felt bad because of it not because of the mute), sadly others are obviously allowed to insult people and get away with it.

And that's just one of many proofs that this community is corrupted, maybe not as much as countries you and I are living in but it is corrupted community.

Another example is karasu but since that man stopped playing cRPG I won't explain why I think you've wronged him.

Thing is, makers of this mod never really listened to this comminity. They did listen to people they think are "cRPG community" but that's not the case in reality. There's a lot more of us playing this daily, we just aren't important.

And I have no problem with that. What bothers me are those fake, desperate threads where developers want to show us how they care what community thinks. I'm not convinced.

Karasu plays cRPG. At least he was playing not so long ago. Also I do not see any reason why developers should pretend they care. Your theories seem to have no reasons. Also do you think that players know what is good for them? If yes it is archery nerf, cav ner, 2h nerf, 1h nerf, throwing nerf, polearm nerf and archery buff, cav buff, 2h buff, 1h buff, throwing buff, polearm buff etc. People can't see clearly what is good and what is not. They usually want their class to be better than other classes and the point is to rather make it impossible, so that classes would be even.

There are a lot of examples that devs care. One of them is deleting ladders from battle. People were whining at ranged being damn annoying on the roofs, so devs started paying attention to it and decided it will be better to balance the maps and delete free laddering.

i'm not that sober. I think overall the game has improved tremendously, but I think a fair amount of things they have added have been bad or poorly implemented. if women can wear armour, why cannot men wear dresses, equally unfitting historically. Upkeep was needed desperately but the new gold/exp system is arguably worse, even xp barns in mind. like valor is obviously broken, most the time i see it for TK's. but the idea behind valor; being rewarded for playing well, why can't the whole game work like that?  remove kills, replace with assist's,- reward people for playing the game not just being on the winning team - that was kind of the goal of the old gold/exp system. also the game desperately needs a decent mode, battle but with a 2ndary objective so camping/running/delaying is not an issue. this is what taleworlds knew when they added search and destroy to warband beta, but they failed it tbh. master the field every round near end would suffice; so many people want this mode, why the hell not add it as a separate mode?!

Times may go by, but posts and comments of Vicious will stay funny!

Leshmas conspiracy theory is somewhat the best i read in a long time :-) (not taking it serious)

To sum it up, all that the current crpg needs is ~25% more overall speed, but cmpx mentioned he might change wpf curves :-) (which would be a first step).

I liked this thread better when it was about gameplay mechanics. I enjoyed reading cmp's posts especially.

I like the new cRPG better, obviously. But i miss the higher combat speed sometimes. I don't miss the huge differences between the haves and the have nots. It's much more balanced and much less grindy, which is good.

The multiplier system does take away from the older, more lulzy atmosphere, for some players. They feel the pressure to perform, especially when 40+ people are spectating you and there is the team's x5 to protect. I guess i'd be one of those. 
But others feel like they don't have any influence on the battle and get demotivated:
New crpg feels very dull to me , theres no really a point to make kills since you get gold anyway from round bonus.
They figure it doesn't matter much what they do, that they have no significant impact on the outcome of the fight anyway, so they just kinda enter a permanent leech mode.
That, i think is one of the downsides to the multiplier system. The problem isn't the game mechanics, but player psychology... i think.

Does the game need to reward personal achievement more? Stuff like: xp and gold for a kill. Or xp and gold for being near a kill, like the old system.
Or is rewarding the team as a whole best? Personal achievements aside, it's the teams results that matter, not yours. Obviously, i prefer the latter.

How can you make the guy i quoted feel motivated to try and win a game? What could be done with the current game mode to prevent people from feeling like they have no impact on the game?

You know what would be cool? A script handing out random personal goals that, when achieved, add a multiplier. Tiny achievements, like: killing a specific player, looting a certain weapon type on the battleground, staying alive for x rounds in a row, controlling a certain area on the map for x minutes, sticking near the action (based on the old system), blocking x attacks, guarding a certain player, etc.
Even cooler would be if players could set certain goals for each other. You get to pick 1 goal and then a random teammate gets the option to 'achieve' that goal and get a small ingame bonus.

Even cooler would be if you could set a gold reward for killing a specific player on the enemy team. If you could look at a player, or select him on the score list, push a q-x-x combination and offer 5000 Gold for his death.  :twisted:

Anyways, back on topic, obviously the new system is better. But i understand how it makes people feel like they do not have an impact on the game, especially on big servers. If only we could figure something out to give them a sense of achievement.

Reminds me of this mod for CS, where you would get extra cash awards for achieving mini-goals, that you are given (either randomly or not), such as getting X kills with a certain weapon, or achieving X headshots in a row and so on.

Would be kind of difficult to implement in cRPG, though, i think. Maybe class specific goals, that are determined by highest WPF, that give you an instant XP/gold bonus (maybe dependent on multiplier or not) on completion?
Title: Re: Which cRPG did you prefer?
Post by: LordBerenger on June 04, 2012, 12:18:35 pm
How about adding a separate Conquest mode where there's 5-6 control points to capture and defend on the map which generates a certain amount of XP and gold per captured ''point''. Thus if you just sit on your ass and leech you won't get any gold or XP.

You dont really get the feeling you have accomplished something when you get like scores of 12:1 , since most of the times you still lose , thats why i think there should be a little gold bonus for kills. Also assist sytem would be nice

The multi system sucks hard, only time you are motivated to try win is IF you are lucky enough to be on x5. instead of every round like old system.

I liked being a newb in the old cRPG, when you'd follow some mega-tank in a supporting role, and do whatever you could to help him get the kills, for which you'd be rewarded accordingly.  Kinda like some young squire or man at arms following his lord.  Then, when you got higher level and could finally afford good gear, you had your chance to be the lord and gain all the glory that came with it.

The only complaints that I heard of were that ranged missed out on a lot of exp and gold, but I'm okay with that since everyone hates ranged and that in itself is a 'nerf' which anyone who prefers to hide and snipe must be willing to pay the cost.  The other thing was that the constant players became mega-rich and had mega-gear and there was no way the casual player could ever catch up.

So I think you should just get rid of retirement.  It would be nice if say, after level 30 a person would have to lose an att point due to age, plus whatever skill points that go with it.  Then people eventually would have to retire and start all over- with no inheritance or loom points to avoid billionaires.  I would also love to see it that each level takes as long to achieve as any other, so their would pretty much be an equal amount of all levels, meaning there will always be someone you can take on even in the lower levels.

This would give everyone hope.  No one minds being cannon fodder if they know someday they'll be at the top, and while actual gameplay skill will be the biggest factor, at a least useless players will have their moment in plate and perhaps be able to kill a peasant or two.
