Guess that is a lie. Unless high level players get one loompoint for each 9 mil experience or some other fair reward.
If not the player base will surely shrink.

Well, I'm pretty sure they don't want a smaller player base.
It's not like there would be an increase in new players if they did, only a decrease of old players.

Hard to tell what wipe means though. Could mean a free respec for everyone.

mod is becoming booring,only thing that keep players are looms and grind.
I play for 11 moths,and i am not gonna make my spent time be for nothing,so i continue playing even if i don't like it sometimes.
I mean i spent 2000 hours or more on this,and now to give up? No way. The power of mod over my life is growing every tick of exp i get.  :mrgreen:
cmp is obviously trolling.

Actualy i could live without looms,and gold,but i would never could get over if generations would be whiped out. I would insta quit.

How about, instead of full wipe, we switch places.

I become okiN, Panos becomes chadz, Berenger becomes cmp, Gnjus switch places with ToD, Smootrich with Paul...

Nords with Saracens, Fallen with Templars.

Russians/Polaks Union doesn't cheat anymore, Bjord is straight.

Unless there was a complete re-haul of mechanics, stats and items, an in-game marketplace and character management, stronghold style strategus and more without major issues I'm pretty sure it would spell the end of this beta-mod within a beta of a mod for myself and most other players.

If all the aforementioned did happen though I would probably resume with the fervor I had when I started a year ago.

Full wipe except generations is the way to go.

Atm there is hardly a motivation to keep playing out of the mod itself.

Be honest: most of us play for the company, not for the mod, grinding or leveling. At least I do and I know quite a bunch of people who say the same if they havent quit yet.

Wipe w/o generations removal would get the grind back into the game and maybe even do something for the balancing, removing all those full loomed tanks from the battlefield.

It's true.  WOW was so popular and they want to cash in on that a little bit, so big changes are coming.

* New max level will be 80.
* No XP from PvP.  WOW demonstrated that people prefer to level off of NPCs.  After the wipe, DTV will be the only game mode that generates XP.
* Instead of retiring for looms, NPCs in DTV randomly drop equipment.  The virgin also gives out quests like "kill 50 peasants".
* There will be new game modes that revolve around epic battles with NPCs that don't move until you attack them, and they drop things like +10 Danish Greatswords.  They're tough to kill and you need to get like 40 people together to do it and if you don't do it then you'll suck at PvP forever because of your gear.
* Real time melee combat deemed too difficult for most players.  New version switches to a model where you have "special moves" bound to keys 1-9, shift 1-9, ctrl 1-9, alt 1-9, F1-F12, your numeric keypad and every other key on your keyboard.  For example, Ctrl-8 will drop a fire totem and then alt-8 will summon a fire demon from it and then F8 will command the fire demon to attack.  It's very intuitive.

I got a sneak peak at the beta UI and took a screenshot.  Take a quick look because I'm going to take it down and delete this message in a couple hours.  I could get in real trouble for posting leaked beta info.

omg, there will be no wipe, cmp and chadz love their mod, and they won´t kill it.
That's silly to believe. In all honestly, you really believe that "a lot" of people would leave the game if their precious looms get removed?

I don't think so. We're all way to addicted to this than leaving is an option IF the generations stay. Actual leveling and retiring would make sense again and we would get better battles due to less archer, less cav on the server.

I would enjoy a full gold/loom/level wipe. Just let us keep the generations as it would value the time invested by players, at least to a certain degree.

Communism for the win.
[...]
The only thing it would do: Make at least 50 % of the current playerbase quit, and that finally.  :mrgreen:
Don't see the correlation with Communism tbh but I guess you had at least some kind of silly idea behind it to write this. Wonder what it was...

And 50%? I lol'd. Not even 5% would quit.

last half year i am palying with 0 looms and i am generation 21 or something... last 2 weeks i didnt start crpg lucnher even 2 times , so  if wipe happens i am back! also would like to see some changes , with xp and gold.
Title: Re: Beat cRPG on Hard Mode!
Post by: Molly on August 02, 2012, 05:11:50 pm
Well. A full gold/loom reset/wipe is like a disappropriation. No matter how long a player plays and no matter how many hours per day he spent, he gets forced on the same "level" as some totally new player.

If that isn´t closest to actual communism I don´t know.

Anyway, as you maybe thought, I personally won´t quit, too. I am way to addicted and I just would level up again, I am sure of that. But hey, I would think: "Why the fuck did I spent 4,000 hours to get all the looms and level 34 before?!"

And I would think: "I am a fucking video game nerd like everyone here, but I must be the biggest of them all to not quit this!"  :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
That's why I keep saying that the generations should stay. To value the "work" people put in. That way getting new things would be way easier for any no-lifing veterans like you :P

I was thinking the same thing.  If they wipe, they should get rid of looms entirely.  I'd rather have the game focused on your individual skill, rather than you have a better item (of the same item) as someone else.

You post it because you think they are trying to hold the game hostage by threatening to leave. They might simply be expressing how this will affect them, albeit in a way that might be seen as the former.

My looms and levels are the virtual sum of my commitment to this game. If it is removed, I for one probably won't quit completely, but with that commitment gone, I'll play a lot less without question. Although it has been somewhat boring for a long while.
Some amazing new innovations would be needed to rekindle that interest, but the game has only been turning slower and slower, with more micromanagement and stats rather than awesome battles.
Title: Re: Beat cRPG on Hard Mode!

Yes, it seems like they are trying to hold the game hostage with their stating "wipe and I leave".  They are coming out with some large changes to crpg, and strategus, and I can see it making sense to wipe...

I know a lot of people who put in a lot of time to this game would be pissed, and might quit.  But a lot of those same people are pretty bored with the mod, and don't play it as much as they used to (when they were spending all that time to get to those high levels).   So maybe starting fresh (with new gameplay changes) would be the spark to pull them back in.

Not to mention, if they do a complete wipe, and implement big changes to the game (how xp/gold works, possibly remove loompoints, etc) we could all very easily spam the taleworlds forums, and I guarantee there would be a flood of "new" people to the game.  A lot of people try the game out and rage quit because they see it as too high of a mountain to climb to be competitive with people who have been grinding for over a year.  Someone who is fully loomed and level 33 is going to seem like an intimidating task to get up to that level, so they quit.

It took me about 3 months of playing on and off before I got into c-rpg for real...I just never wanted to "grind" to become competitive with the rest of the players.  Once I did I realized it wasn't so bad, but early on, in my mind, it was a huge mountain to climb.

That mountain will always be there however. Right after the wipe, it'll just start growing again. Now, the mountain is equalized by the market and upkeep. New people can get a lot of MW stuff in just 2 gens. Which is not too much playing.

And was that mountain the looms or the difference in skill, instead?

Maybe. I'd rather have the game just fixed.

Right, but with it starting over, people who tried the game 6 months, or a year, or 1.5 years after it was released and thought "this is going to be too much work to get to the same playing field as these other players, so I'm not going to start".  If they start over, it would be an easy draw for those people to come back and be on the same playing field as everyone else.  You can't see the difference between someone getting into the game 6 months after it's release, or within the first couple weeks?  For everyone who left the game, there would be someone "new" (or someone who tried the game and raged) to come back to it.

No I didn't even know about looms at the time, and it wasn't the difference in skill, it was strictly about leveling that seemed like a huge hurdle in my mind.  It felt like it would take me a very long time to reach level 30 or 31 and be "equal" to the other players.  Again, I'm just talking about perception, not reality.

I think are going to continually improve the game.  Whether they wipe or not won't affect me playing the mod.

That's not going to happen. When I decide to stick to something I'm pretty passionate about it but when I leave, I never come back.

Everyone here is forgetting that there WAS a time before looms/retirement/gens. If everything was wiped clean again (gold/xp/items) I'd be fine with it, it's happened before and I would love the peasant wars.

Doubtlessly cRPG would net new players as long as it's interesting, but how would they get the word that now would be an especially good time to try again? You mentioned Taleworld's forum, but if they visit that, they are already engaged in something else as well. Can we win them over with a level playing field, if their commitment is somewhere else already?

I guess you haven't experienced the boredom after having tried every class, along with strange combinations of them. Yet.
It's not easily overcome.

There won't be peasant wars, level 20 can be reached in an evening or two now.

I am not, just saying I am leaving is all, I don't really care if noone misses me to be honest, except for my clan members and a little bunch of player this community is 100% shit.

I am also aware that the devs couldn't careless either about what I'll do.

As for peasant war, fuck e'm, I hate them.

On the side, keep both of them.

So I can play with my full character and the updated version with people who prefer it and fuck around in the over the top older version. There's also no looms to re-grind and no retirement, once I get the gear I want, I can just go on with levelling.

to be honest the only reason someone would leave because of a wipe is if they armor/str crutch and will get shit upon because they lack player skill.

and not like player skill matters much at all anymore because most people fall asleep when they melee since its so slow, any derpie can block

How about we have 2 selectable modes: noob and vet mode. Noob mode grants way more EASY everything while vet mode grants exclusive/unique things/gear only attainable through long time playing. This way the crybabies can have things easy and no effort like they want it and people who actually care to put in effort will still be rewarded.

How is this different from other RPG style games? As long as there's an RPG element, someone will always be ahead.

I literally do fall asleep after three exchanges if it's not someone I recognize and just click the left mouse button hoping that they're going to feint or hold or something.
