Title: Melee forum + Melee game + No melee server = no melee
Post by: Golem on July 01, 2015, 08:39:51 pm: :) Would you?

Post by: Guray on July 01, 2015, 08:44:15 pm: Go EU 3 . Then you gus will start complaining about shielders having shields and then Cavs having Horses. Just no, Go to EU 3 or make 2 armies in strat with melee weapons only and play your melee battle there.

Post by: Golem on July 01, 2015, 08:55:46 pm: I would get the server, though.
EDIT: Ok just checked, so if the poll goes well I am going to try to persuade an admin to make EU5 a melee server - otherwise^

Post by: karasu on July 01, 2015, 09:40:52 pm: Nah, total my old friend on this one.

We had once a melee only server, which consisted basically of the same few try-hards. And this happened when the mod still had players, can't even imagine now.

Post by: The_Bloody_Nine on July 01, 2015, 09:46:05 pm: yup, melee only was getting boring very fast. Was fun getting warm there for 5 minutes but nothing more.
Title: Re: Melee forum + Melee game + No melee server = no melee
Post by: Alec on July 01, 2015, 10:38:32 pm: The playerbase is just too small. We barely have people on EU_1 and EU_7 now. Although it seems there are a bit more people playing now school has ended, it's still too few for another server.

Post by: Teeth on July 01, 2015, 11:27:58 pm: Melee only was decent the first rendition, good clusterfucks. The last rendition was basically lots of people with a lot of agi running away from you and hitting your in the back later. You need the area denial cav and ranged provides.

You liar. There has never been a pure melee only server.
However, there was an infantry only server without ranged (no melee cavalry) which was named "Melee" something.
Furthermore long melee weapons like spears and pikes as well as melee weapons with crushthrough weren't allowed.

I bet you would refer to a server which only allowed german greatswords as a "melee only server".

Cavalry can be melee too!

Post by: //saxon on July 02, 2015, 02:40:03 am: Nordmen Melee only server was fucking great at times, Fighting along side Tor killing off 7 dudes at once warming up before battle server. Not forgetting to mention a few players getting perma-banned just for spawning with arrows, ahhh remember it like it was yesterday.

But that's when cRPG was in it's very prime, melee only server now will either make EU_1 dead or the melee server it'self will be dead. It's not possible anymore.

Post by: POOPHAMMER on July 02, 2015, 02:47:35 am: I would kill for a melee only server. I do not play this mod as much anymore like I used to because there is nothing more discouraging than losing 75%-100% of your health to people you can not see or engage. It never made any sense to me why you would play range on one of the best melee combat simulators out there. I guess when you suck at melee you get on your knees open up and embrace the skilless ranged lifestyle.

Post by: BlackxBird on July 02, 2015, 05:33:48 am: dont do that. Every melee would go there and after a while all the ranged will quit too. Wanna kill the rest of the mod? go do that.

Liar? Nordmen server? hint hint.

Post by: Riddaren on July 02, 2015, 04:57:28 pm: Just saying it had lots of restrictions.
It would have been better if it was like EU_1 except no ranged.

Make EU_1 melee only at certain times?
Title: Re: Melee forum + Melee game + No melee server = no melee
Post by: Pawiu on July 02, 2015, 05:35:03 pm: there was melee only server long ago
and u know what?
nobody played on it

It would be even worse if there was no ranged but still cav.

I haven't said it would be better. It was never my point.

You know what I believe?
That it would be more fun without shielders as well.

Cause they are good for balance?^^

Post by: Richyy on July 06, 2015, 01:51:39 am: another server which will divide the low pop we already have? i dont think its a good idea :?

this. You´re a bit too late with this, the pop is too low to fill up another server ;P
Title: Re: Melee forum + Melee game + No melee server = no melee
Post by: Golem on July 06, 2015, 04:19:29 am: Okay it seems like fuck it, Lets make attows 7 max then, just like Vikingr, Maybe buff archer dmg but decrease the amount of shots. Make arrows in bodies pickable.
Or...
Make melee only server, only ranged denied, Everything else goes. If its possible mod-wise I would be even for throwing axes. Frankly I would like to only leave throwing axes, one type of spers and light crossbows and low ammo bows in game, but thats just a wish.
EDIT: as a melee weapon
Edit: I mean ranged, I am drunk
Title: Re: Melee forum + Melee game + No melee server = no melee
Post by: Golem on July 06, 2015, 01:20:08 pm: You know ancient civilizations, like Greeks, used to discuss something, then drink and see if they were right. So it doesnt make my post invalid.
I admit Greece was a bad example.

Post by: Tindel on July 08, 2015, 03:19:45 am: Once upon a time EU2 was close to a melee only server.

Cav dont like siege
Ranged was heavily nerfed

It was a glorious time, population was at its peak in crpg history as well!
If only certain changes had not been made to bring about certain doom and destruction!
Title: Re: Melee forum + Melee game + No melee server = no melee
Post by: Oberyn on July 08, 2015, 01:43:05 pm: I occasionally went EU2 with cav. Cav can be surprisingly effective on some siege maps.

The last time I played siege were like 50 players on it.
But in every team atleast 5 throwers.
The defender throwers built a equipment box and took tons of throwing lances outta it.
Me fool who was ordinary able to rush a flag on his own and fuck dafuq outta the defenders tried to the normal shit. But when u enter a corridor and there are 3 throwers with throwing lances you are totally fucked. no way of doing anything there.
So... I rqed the first time from EU 2 in my life.
At this point I thought fuck everything. Did not want to play at all anymore.
Than strat got broken and I decided to attack something in NA. So I thought like okay, let's try how it is to play with that ping^^
Well, now I only play NA 1 and NA 3 (for strat battles) :D
CUZ IT'S EVEN MORE FUN. (My average k/d there is 2,7 xD)

Post by: Golem on July 08, 2015, 11:26:39 pm: I noticed NA is not so annoying with their ranged, an occasional thrower and bad archers.

EU is the opposite.

An occasional melee and bad cav
Title: Re: Melee forum + Melee game + No melee server = no melee
Post by: Bronto on July 10, 2015, 12:55:29 am: Melee only doesn't work. It destroys balance and someone mentioned no shields but throwing is ok. I shake my head in your general direction. Throwing and xbows are OP, archery is just annoying. Cav should spend less time raping spawn for afk kills and go for ranged. Take em from behind. It's not rocket science, just patience.
