Well you're in for a treat because people seem to think low pop is because ranged needs to be buffed, disregarding all the other changes made to the game. Next patch will be even more of a ranged festand you're still crying about ranged, jog on
and you're still crying about ranged, jog on
Throwing is fun, you should try it sometime :lol:
I played some cRPG for the first time in a few months.
I've quite to go play BF4, because I'll get shot less.
In a game with guns.
So yeah.
I hope the new game comes quickly.

low population is because
1) kickstarter failed, morale of the community took a nose dive
2) servers are laggy as fuck, loads of players RQ because of that
1) What
2) I think they are fixed now.
My ping still jumps up randomly to 150 on NA. I normally get around 50s. Lag is still there for me.
the end result is more people leaving and less people posting their thoughts on how it all went wrong.
I'm sorry I don't have enough time to post my thoughts because I'm ACTUALLY BUSY PLAYING THE MOD ITSELF
But then you have people like Leshma or Teeth who spend 4-5 hours each day on forum talking about game missing that, this being OP, that being bad, bla bla, QQ QQ and forgetting that talking won't resurrect the mod, but the actual presence on server will, and playing of course.

I'm sorry I don't have enough time to post my thoughts because I'm ACTUALLY BUSY PLAYING THE MOD ITSELFWhat, I haven't shittalked the current state of the mod at all, nor am I very active on the forums. I think that apart from low population the design of the mod is pretty good, I just don't want to spend much time playing games anymore, which means I don't want to play cRPG as for the last 4 years 80-90% of my gaming time has been spent playing cRPG.

This is a dumb argument as it ignores the effects of having a very skill based game and a very concentrated community. I illustrated it with a Counter-Strike example before and quoted it below. Also, equating player numbers with mod quality is stupid as player numbers have been steadily decreasing ever since early 2012, even through periods when balance was left largely untouched.(click to show/hide)
Imagine Counter-Strike having a single server on which everybody would play, surely the fact that the top 5% can utterly destroy anyone who just starts playing would affect it's attractiveness to more casually oriented newcomers. Surely the community on this server would condense into a very small and highly skilled group with little fresh blood. If these players get bored after 2000-4000 hours, wouldn't you say the game died of old age for them, instead of the latest patch which changed the recoil pattern of the 4th bullet of the AK slightly? Of course some of these old players will blame this change as the reason for them quitting, but they have suffered through worse design in periods before with a smile on their face, because they were less bored. However, if Counter-Strike would have other servers with mechanics that make them unattractive for the top players, then the game would continue to refresh its stock and offer a place for new players to learn the game at their own enjoyable pace.This is at the very least a important part of what happened to cRPG. High average skill level (and grind) ensured that few new players stuck around and the old players extracted everything they could out of the complex combat system for many, many hours, but eventually even they stopped playing due to getting tired of having to abuse shit to even hit someone or entering a new phase of their lives with less available time. I played this mod very actively from dec 2010 until the start of 2014 and I'd say that on average the mod has become mechanically more sound, allowed more freedom and more utility over time, yet it became consistently less fun, because people kept getting better and better at the game.

you guys seem to blame us, for not playing the game. wtf?
you fanboys, seriously need to get better arguments than blah blah QQ more.
It is when making anything that we become anyone.and he is absolutely right. Whatever it is that you want, start doing things rather than talking about them. Even if you have zero skills, if you wish for it enough, you will attract opportunities, people and skill by trial and error.
Leshma doesn't agree with some decisions the devs made; maybe she will contribute items or maps at some point, since she already mentioned she has something in mind.
She :oops: You wish. Good times though, when things were uncertain.I am addressing people based on the gender they indicate in their profile. If people prefer to indicate the opposite sex, why not do them the favor and treat them as such?
Also people lingering around hating on the mod and calling out things that are supposedly OP or UP are actually increasing my gameplay activity a LOT. Everytime i see someone call something out as op or up i respecc my alt to see if its actually true, and that can keep me going for many hours.You are special :D

Because we arent on tumblr.
The mod is more balanced than it has ever been. You may deny the old age of it as much as you want but it wont go away. People are not quitting because it sucks, Its old and tough to get in, looks like crap and a niche anyway.
Do you remember ladders, unreachable archers, archers pulling fucking greatswords out of their ass. Cavalry X2 times faster and more agile with better weapon angles, pikes going trough walls, Jump shoot never ending kite archers, fukcing 360 no scope stab animation. But the population was larger than ever then, because it was new and exciting. Did you think 120 people servers would last forever with the reach crpg has?
People buy mount and blade, and if they want to play multiplayer they click multiplayer and play. only some of them install any mods and only some of those ever try crpg. And only some of those that try it stay for more than few days. Dude this is a niche mod for a niche old game...
I dont think theres that much ranged on Eu, just shit loads of agi spamming longswords/miadaos/long axes/falchions etc etc.
One way to stop the agi spam profusion would do something about the armour, pretty sure all the heaviest armour in the game does is slow you down, I found with a little IF I did better naked than with +3 gothic plate which is frankly a pretty fucked up damage system.

Every 2h thats playing atm is str or balance build though.
Every 2h thats playing atm is str or balance build though.STR is a disapeared species since 2010
You don't even know the definition of a STR build.
I'm playing a strength build :C
You are playing borderline STR shielder build if you're having 27 STR. For 2H builds 30 is minimum for STR builds imho. Actually I believe it is 33 STR and I'll explain why.
Pretty sure at this point you're just trolling
And who are you to decide what the definition of strength builds and agi builds are? Stop crying about stats like one is stronger than the other, chances are you are probably complaining about 2hers being agiwhores when really they are balanced. Also stop living in your strength whores world.
It's not a troll build, it can be very effective. Depends on situation. Also I'm testing to see how it fares versus other, more popular builds.
But main reason why I am playing such a build is native. It is very similar to typical native 2H build, except for extremely slow attack speed.
That aside, build I'm currently playing is perfect example of what they are trying to achieve with Battlegrounds, specialization. My build is specialized for extremely high damage and can take a beating. But it is slow. cRPG is broken in that regard, because you get speed and damage too, because of extreme speed bonus.

Tankiness means nothing in battle if you're left alone.
What? Why? Unless you get completely cornered you can still fight back. Just dancing around people, not caring about taking hits because landing one does more to them. On several occasions have i been fighting 1v3-5 and still came out on top. I'll just tank and block untill i can land one hit and thats a big hit. Sure running can help but unless you have a team hiding away you will still have to deal with the same amount of enemies, and even if they split you have to duel them and win that.
