Title: Research: What Generation were/are you before the Level/Retirement Patch? Now?
Post by: Cris on April 27, 2011, 12:50:14 pm
Hi everyone!

Just a bit of research on something I'd like to know, and maybe useful to the dev team (although they probably can just run through the logs)

What generation where you pre-patch :?: and what generation are you now (post-patch) :?:



Please keep it simple, not more than 3 characters per reply! Thanks a lot.

Quote from Nubert who is gen 30 now:
"Boah, die XP kommt so hart rein bei x5".

Dont over estimate the playtime!
After a certain gen its just going faster and faster.

The point is simple. To reach a lvl bigger than 31 at some point and even more important....to get a large variety of loomed weapons.

Got 2 mw swords, thinking about a third.
Armor will be lordly (3rd loom), gloves are next.

Why? We are addicts and materialists...crpg is awesome xD

At gen 30, you make 3900xp a minute in x1, which is nearly a x4 for gen1.  :|

In short, if you don't play to play much and still progress fast, well the better thing to do is to grind to high gen :lol:

Well, for the sole purpose of getting to level 35, there's no need to retire after gen 7 or 8 or so. The time needed to get to 35 just get's longer.

Getting to level 35 with full 3x heirloomed armour/weapons is a different story though.

Glad to see people are breaking the new retirement system too.

Get off your high horse.  What else is there to do when you hit level 31 - grind for weeks to get to level 32 or try a new and unique build with different weapon specialities and have fun learning with a new set of skills and ability point allocations.  Some people really enjoy the game and play a bit more, to call it breaking the system is silly and spiteful.  They shouldn't retire because it offends you?  chadz actually did a good job in the sense that retirement really doesn't give some overwhelming advantage (like pre-patch), if you can't manual block you are still going to suck in combat, if you can't aim you are still going to suck at ranged, because all you are getting are slightly improved stats.  And if you are wondering, yes I often use my non-heirloomed equipment (like playing with different items, gets boring otherwise) and do roughly the same with k/d.  It doesn't make anywhere near a big enough difference that you need to get so worked up about it (though I do say for archery its about the only thing that actually makes it close to being still a viable class).

They need to make it so the multiplier doesnt drop down to 1 when you lose a round, If I have x5 and lose a round, make it go down to x3 or some crap, if you have x3, make it go down to x2,

does this make sense?

Yeh, my clanmates have talked about this before, it makes a lot more sense that way. They should have also kept the 1500 base xp they originally had with the big patch before the minor updates and just lowered the xp bonus to 5% instead with a maximum of 100% bonus.

I was gen 1 before the patch, never cared about this retirement silliness, until everyone started abusing it post-patch, and you need at least a 3x heirloomed weapon to stay alive.

Gen 2 right now.

Oh my lord, I was lvl 27 prepatch, now I'm gen 2 halfway to lvl 31. I rarely play other games than cRPG and I feel like I play quite a lot.

Gen 3 pre-patch, gen 23 now.
This! How in grasshoppers name? How? You must be playing 8 hours a day!

From my own experience I would want faster xp gain, 60 hours for a gen seems quite a lot, but if I see the people here, their generation gaining would be through the roof.

Currently the higher your gen the faster you gain xp, it should just be the other way around, the lower your gen the faster you gain xp.

Gen 1 prepatch, gen 1 postpatch here.

I'm moving to a different state soon, therefore I don't have to worry about employment etc, therefore I have quite a lot of time to play cRPG. As well, for a period of time when I got most of my retirements I was really sick, and wasn't able to leave the house much. Needless to say, that helped my quest for retirements.

That's funny I really like playing the game so I played a lot and retired a lot, Goretooth in earlier post mentioned he liked the game.  But then you see people complaining and getting angry at people who retired because they don't have the same heirlooms or are smug, which seems more of a grinder mentality to me.  The heirlooms really don't make that much of a difference, I just used non-heirloomed danish great sword with non-heirloomed plate mail and did better than I usually do.  I think being a tin can is lame so i don't do it too often, but most people can afford it now so if you really are worried heirloomed people have an advantage just pull out the plate and greatswords or elegant poleaxe.

Post by: Smoketh on April 27, 2011, 07:20:25 pm
Ya, having played with heirlooms and now playing without, it doesn't feel like that big of a difference to me. The way I look at it is in 10 fights where you almost kill the person but get killed, having  heirlooms would chance the outcome of maybe 1 or 2 of those fights.

Post by: Armpit_Sweat on April 27, 2011, 07:39:42 pm
If i am not mistaken ( please correct me if i am wrong ), there was "an official" statement regarding some new "skills", whatever that might be...

« on: January 09, 2011, 21:16:38 »
If people want to work towards something, I recommend heirlooms. Retirement will be back soon, and the only condition will be level 31.

I don't know if heirlooms are currently strong or hardly worth it, if it's the latter, they might get a buff. I'll check with the items team.

Also, there will be a, how should I put it without revealing too much, very special set of "skills" that you can acquire soon, in another way than simply leveling. This should make things very interesting for people that want to have more persistance to their char, without breaking the balance that the game has currently recieved (aka not making them godlike).

Now let me get back to finishing that patch, just dropped in here to announce this :).

I am not sure if that got implemented or not, may be it was something i did not notice, since i smoke lots of weed. In any case - this was a great idea!
Number of heirloomed items could be limited to 1-3, and in return, for them who has spare time to play, some items/skills that do not, in any way, alter the gameplay.
New banners/flags/battle horns/titles/hair color/taunts/silly hats/donkey mounts/golden AK47/a pet hamster on the shoulder/etc.

It would motivate the grinders, without upsetting players who "have life", and possibly offer more personality to rpg fans.

Personally, i do not feel "outclassed" by gen 10+ players right now... I might be, when they get to gen 50+ :) I never complained about fighting lvl 45+ pre-patch superheroes either.

sorry, it was a simple remark, there was no negative view.
Yes, i see no problem in the fact that some are xxgen, and i don't think heirloom gives a significant advantage, at least it will give absolutely no benefit in Strategus (which is what interests me).
it's the whole beauty of it, because everyone is so satisfied, the grinders can grind and casual can play with the grinders without big disadvantage. Many people say it is a failure, we can not please two extremes, but i think most people get a fair deal. You say it yourself, this allows you to play longer, change build and make test.
Play for hours and hours remain a grinder behavior, and play only infrequently remains a casual behavior
In fact they are two very different mentality, but everyone has fun.

What the hell. I always figured that if I was at the same gen. as [whatever renowned player], I could be pretty badass too. Turns out I only need the same gen. as [random derper]. Weird.

Flood: was 3, now 3.
Rain: was 1, now 3.

That I have at least five other alts at level 28-30 is a thing, true.

I have been playing since before the xp-barn days. I am generation 1. I cannot be bothered to level up a character all over again just to increase a value or two by a little on some piece of equipment. Nor have I particularly noticed being underpowered because of it.

I have my build and I like it.

I was gen 3 before, still the same now. I can't be bothered retiring now, seems like too much effort. Retirement doesn't really properly recreate the fun stage of being a peasant and levelling up - you become to fixated on getting to 31 again so you can retire again. Making alts does though.

Gen 1 prepatch, gen 1 now. Hit level 33 sometime last month.

 I've also retired three of my alts one or two times apiece.

Gen 1 prepatch (played a while only), then suddenly patch came. Gen 2 now, only on 1 character.

I became lvl 30 twice in my crpg life, both postpatch. I also became lvl 31 once and I retired immediately. I made mistake by heirlooming wrong weapon. I am fucked up.

end of story.

That's why I think current retiring and grinding system is stupid.

Now I have 15 lvl on my shielder and I know it will take month to get to 30 lvl and another one to get to 31, 2 months of pain, so I just quit cRPG.

have some other games to play... and not waste half that month to get to 21 lvl - 21 lvl means steel shield. 15 lvl after week of playing...

Currently the higher your gen the faster you gain xp, it should just be the other way around, the lower your gen the faster you gain xp.

I agree with this.  The current system seems to discourage newer player.  Not only are older players probably better from experience and more levels then a fresh peasant, they also have heirlooms out the ass.

Would also mean you would have to decide wither you want looms are to be able to reach level 35 in a reasonable time instead of grind grind grind, collect looms, then reach 35 or whatever in the time it takes a new player to reach gen 3

every 10 generations should add another level to retirement. ie:
1-10 = 31
11-20 = 32
21-30 = 33
etc....

Nobody over gen10 would retire then again.
Have fun if all the gen10+ people go to lvl35...

Well, for the sole purpose of getting to level 35, there's no need to retire after gen 7 or 8 or so. The time needed to get to 35 just get's longer.

Getting to level 35 with full 3x heirloomed armour/weapons is a different story though.

Glad to see people are breaking the new retirement system too.

nobody is breaking something. retirement system work that way, people use it that way.. plain and simple.

Something like this would be interesting. At gen 11 it takes you half as long as a gen 1 to get to level 31 and lvl 32 is twice as long as that. This means the time it takes to retire for a gen 11 would be the same for a gen 1.
I'd propose this though:
1-10 = 31
11-30=32
31-60=33
61+ = 34

Of course, with this, I'd also demand that they increase the average xp gained or decrease how much xp you need per level by at least 25%

Fail options. You're missing 1-5/1-5 and 5-10/10+.

1-5/1-5 here, btw; I only ever retired in the first retirement patch. I'm thinking of retiring all my chars again now to tweak stats, though.

Were we supposed to go up in generations then?  I'm a bit confused!  Both my characters are still gen 1...

So "pre-patch gen 1" actually means "pre-patch gen 1 or more, but no more than 5"? Okay. :P

Yup, pretty much i just gather from that they will not be running with more than a maxed out heirloom and a x2 one. (assuming they never retired pre-patch) I could have just said no more than 5 now XD but i was tired when I did the poll...

And as i thought, looks like the largest amount of people are running around with no more than 2 heirlooms
