AUS cRPG is finally dead, cRPG will be finished soon.
-War of the Roses
Isn't cRPG growing as of right now? The steam summer sale is attracting new players.
The ability to sit on a toilet adds immersion to gameplay unsurpassed by any other game.
The Australian community is definitely dying with no server. I feel bad for Aussies on NA with 200+ ping trying to play.
i dont think ive read a good review of War of Roses yet
AUS cRPG is finally dead, cRPG will be finished soon.All the downvotes because he has a different opinion.
So what to do next? There have always been alternatives the ones I have played are below.
-chivalry
Probably the most fun but least eventful. Decapitation and really well made and balanced maps make for a very "pretty" and immersive gameplay.
This game takes the melee combat of warband dumbs it down makes it extremely easy to pick up and pretty difficult to master. Play as a proper super soldiers until your stamina wears off. Has a nice feint system and promotes reflex and fast thinking. It does not have directional blocking. It has fire grenades.
-War of the Roses
After a disastrous beta in which the servers couldn't handle the game this game came back with a vengeance. Directional blocking, combined with only the blades of weapons doing damage make it pretty damn cool. A wide range of weapons and perks help you customize your characters performance. Visual customisation such as crests, plumes, paint add depth and help you recognise opponents.
Armour has weak points and visors can be raised and lowered. Vision is affected but a slash to the face with visor up will kill you otherwise. Bandaging your own wounds and helping others of the ground when mortally wounded adds depth and real significance to holding an area.
I have spent a bit of time in this game and was initially frustrated at how powerful plate was but once I picked up on a plate wearers weaknesses and started exploiting them (especially if they didn't close their visor) the game started to make sense. Excellent nudge system.
-Napoleonic Wars
Using the notorious warband engine this "mod" is goofy and awkward with overhead stabs and funny hats. Character customisation is at a minimum but if you like team play this mod is excellent. With a "march" button, binoculars for captains, brilliant cav balance and a selection of special situational weapons. This mod is supported by a strong and dedicated community. The guns are very inaccurate and a lot of "blade work" gets done for those melee fanatics.
A really well worked out siege mode and great maps boosted by an engineer class and destructible environments allows for deep gameplay and epic last stands.
As with all warband mods it has its flaws. The ceilings are too short and affect player view and the playable instruments although awesome are really just usd by griefers. The ability to sit on a toilet adds immersion to gameplay unsurpassed by any other game.
-Persistent World
This mod is massive and highly evolved. It surpassed cRPG's development many versions ago and is the most RP of any mod available. This is a mod that relies on the Town Watch and admins to keep alive. Greifing is easy and so is breaking in to castles at off peak times to get cash. Some great features are the ability to fall of a horse without it dyeing. Carrying items above your qualification for a massive penalty (great for looting the battle field).
This is a very grindy mod and is worth a shot with a few friends in ts. The biggest issue in this mod for cRPG players (assuming good admins) is that violence is not always the answer and because of the massive server load money wins fights. So cRPG players tend to pick fights and get outplayed by fatty plate and the merits of the greatsword.
-Native
This mod is like a bad attempt at making cRPG. No character developement or RP. Minimal choice of weapons and a single player inferior to most other mods getting around. I would avoid this mod at all costs.
-Nord invasion
Im not really sure how to describe nord invasion without mentioning the old DTV. Its most certainly an old mod that has had a lot of continuous development much of it wasted. Changing the 1H animations did not improve them and is a pet hate of mine. Other than that if you like character progression and particularly ugly websites NI could be for you. This mod does have a wide range of items and the first wave of peasants do use saucepans.
how about that mercenaries mod? its like a bad clone of crpg, only theres no leveling, every gets the same amount of skill points, attributes and perks (yes there are perks), last i checked, there are quite a few mercenaries players that play cRPG,Every server restart ruins any "Persistence" that it may have had, and admins/communities are full of assholes.
PS. stay away from any mod that has "persistent" in its title, that word is a easy giveaway for a shit mod

^Mate... thats a -1(click to show/hide)
cRPG is hard to move away from but i think its important that people know about the other options out there.
but it's fun once one got past the autism barrier.
Pirates Vikings and Knights is a pretty fun HL2 mod that has at least a partially similar theme to CRPG. Give it a try; I have no idea if there are AUS servers and I haven't played in years. But it's fun.pvkii is still fun but not the same without manual block, used to be my fav game and the reason it took me along time to switch to warbands manual block system.
there is no way to fill the void for cRPG.
Also there is no way to fill the void for cRPG. You better find some way to play it or move to EU or NA. Only choices i'm afraid. :(
I feel as If I Should have a good reason.
P.S.S someone can have my looms if they have a genuinely good reason
I really like the idea of dropping into other peoples games to mess with them. Pretty coolDark Souls is probably one of the most unique games out there. In my opinion, It's somewhat a Zelda meets Skyrim, Meets Shadow Of the Colossus. Huge open world, Unique storylines, Awesome loot if you know where to go, Boss battles that generally require strategy and quick thinking or sometimes pure dumb luck, and of course invading and fucking peoples shit up(So much more fun at a low level generally less OP characters and you are genuinely nervous about dying). So you should definitely get it.
