I'd honestly prefer proximity xp/gold over the multiplier.

I'm nostalgic about many games I've played over longer periods of time, but I must admit cRPG is not really one of them.

This also brought a manly tear to my eye :'( I must say having played cRPG since 2010, I find it hard to articulate how much I miss those days. The exp barn is a great example of how fun cRPG used to be. I don't want to come across of slagging off cRPG as we know it today, I just really wish we were able to revert back to that gold and exp system, because basically it was just so much more fun in many ways. The multiplier has made this game so much more serious and the feeling of grinding is much more of a factor.


Many playing cRPG will not have experienced how cRPG was when I first started playing, and its a shame. But as Apsod has rightly pointed out, it is these old videos that really do bring back nostalgia and it is quite sad that we may never know the same caliber of excitement and crazyness. I am still positive though for the new exp system and will continue to wait patiently.

I remember starting around the time of Proximity and I loved it back then.  It was one of those things where dying did not really make me feel bad because you still got exp and gold for a bit after dying due to radius bonus

It was short lived though, I only got a glimpse of the fun until things started over with multipliers.

Back then, cmp was member of Mercenaries and just started to mod cRPG. Mercs had great influence on chadz and rest of the dev team. Back then, they were elite army and couldn't compare to big clans (Fallen, Templars, Shogunate). Dozen of them, no matter how skilled they were, didn't have much impact on final outcome. Especially when we all used to play on 200 man Pecores server because EU official servers were laggy mess.

I remember it very well, you could always hear (or read) one of them QQing how proximity is nonsense and how it takes skills away blah blah. They all hated Finn and his student, Finished (known as Michael).

Dev team (chadz) made the change but good portion of responsibility for that change goes to cRPG clan Mercenaries because they did everything they could to influence chadz to make that specific change.

Btw. Pecores stopped being active after that change.

Remember kids, what Leshma says is based on 'facts'. So next time you see a Merc on the server, try and kill him for giving us this damn multi system.  :D

Leshmalogic: Mercs, being a small clan of good players, influenced dev team to move from a system, that gives active benefits for individual performance and encourages survival, to a system, that rewards team effort, but gives no individual rewards and evens out the playing field a lot - and this buffs them somehow.

Twisting my words much? Old system was good for certain classes and players of (extremely) high level. From what I remember, at that time most Mercs were footmen with shields and swords/spears (you are/were pikeman, I know that). Very few were above level 40.

Battle on Pecores server was dominated by: a) heavy cavalry (like most Pecores of that time and infamous the_Finn), b) high wpf archers, c) horse archers (they were like the plague, especially Cris) and of course, 2H brutes (SUPERBEAST, Leed, Georges, Casimir).

New system completely changed that and worked in your favor. At the same time, I was on Shogunate server where they did extensive training with pikes and spears. But I doubt they ever had connections you guys had at that time (chadz never liked Ujin).

I'm not biased, because I "emerged" from the crowd six months after new system was implemented. Just saying how I remember it. Maybe I'm a bit senile, who knows :D

Even though I was playing cav almost exclusively at the time, I must say the radius system wasn't that bad because if you died in the right spot you still recieved a lot of xp, and more importantly nobody was punished for being far away, the gold was simply an incentive to be close to the action. With upkeep, you are actually punished when your team loses.

It also had the huge advantage of concentrating the fights and producing short rounds.

Open your eyes. Aliens did it! Heres a picture with circumstantial evidence that you cant identify as such but take my word for it anyway cause you cant prove otherwise.
