Title: Siege event every Saturday or Sunday?
Post by: Dupre on January 16, 2016, 02:08:30 am
So i'm thinking of creating a weekly or bi-weekly event Saturday or Sunday on the Siege server, both EU and NA. Couple of my ideas:

-on-going siege tournament using a point system(kills, performance, wins, etc tracked)
-adjust the map rotation on both EU and NA to about 3-5 of the best siege maps. I can also add maps at anytime.
-prizes
-I can pass out equipment to specific players/teams, so we can hold events like a Strategus battle.
-have sign ups on the event forums and set up random teams. Maybe set up new random teams every 2 events, etc

Feedback is needed. I'll also need help to hold these events if we do them.

Next idea is a on-going DTV event, but i'll get to that once we get this event/tournment figured out.

Sounds nice, first get strat working
(click to show/hide)
and when that pop comes back then this might work well! Where its at right now is nowhere near where it could be with strat reset population! But i can admit you are getting somewhere and trying to make something happen, so thank you.

Also my input would be make sure they are complete random teams cause that sounds pretty fair and announce prizes when you fighure out what they are like 10,000,000 Gold or whatever cause that is what catches peoples eye.

Love the idea, but I worry too many Eu1 freaks don't like siege at all and wont agree with you.

= not sure if we can get enough players for a decent siege battle, but I am supporting this

It's worth a try. I don't think we have ever had an on-going event like this.

Remove battle server = siege problem solved.

A long time ago, CHN server, usually on Friday and Saturday night, to carry out siege on the battle server. The largest number of people with more than 100.

yeah i can`t agree more with you ,after free respects, HP in square bars,reforging loom points and weekly server reset, merging some glorious Eu2 maps(give poll to community?) into Eu1 could be a another mile stone to get some old players back in this awesome game :D

Well I don't think the server can switch game modes. You would need an admin to manually switch over to siege, but I wouldn't mind doing that every Saturday or Sunday. I'll add a poll to see what the community thinks.

but why closing battle server? can we just have battle and siege on 1 server (something like 5xbattle map, 2xsiege/conquest map) one admin should make a small map pool for siege/conquest maps and switch it manualy or something like that :wink:

@Zeus
i do not wanna be rude but im talking about Eu players, i know that some ppl hate battle and some ppl hate siege but all in all player base (EU) is too small to play siege and a lot of players from siege stoped playing Crpg because they don't want to 'play aids tactics' and it would be awesome to have more ppl in this game :wink:

Yeah I don't think forcing people to play siege by making it the only option is right either. They need to keep both up and if the majority want to play siege so be it at least players have a choice. I don't understand why they would need to switch na_1 to siege rather than just opening up a siege server and leave battle server up as well, like it always was when siege was in game. Just bring the siege servers back and leave battle alone.

First of all, the siege servers are up, it's just that nobody plays on them since the summer holidays ended. Why? Nobody knows for sure, but it went from 120 people at one point to 30 and down, down, down.
Could be that it was populated mostly by people, who got Warband in the summer sales and then they didn't bother, could be there is a much more sinister thing going on. Either way, you just said to leave things alone, maybe out of ignorance maybe because you have an ulterior motive. I won't try to persuade you to change your opinion on the matter, but consider this.
If we force people to play Siege every now and then, they will get accustomed to it. Few Sundays later, people will be hopping on EU2 even on weekdays.

Wow so much bullshit :O siege is dead since more than one year now and it was because at first HRE left, then DRZ left and finally greys stopped playing siege.

There is nothing about the maps, there are no ladders needed. The maps werecgreat and the only reason why people stopped playing is that siege requires atleast 60 players to play properly. Player base reduced because the 2 biggest siege clans left and people werent populating the server anymore. I tried it atleast 50 times, was poking everyone on their ts, was gettin some eques on the server but with the low player base every conquest map destroied the population. (Wrote about 500 QQ threads in that time, nobody gave a fuck)

So actually for reviving siege, u have to restart strat in 2015 and remove the bugged conquest maps. Siege is dead, sry. It's not like I actually constantly wrote suggestions n'shit the fist half year of 2k15. Every siege addict left the game by now. Everyone. If u think u can bring them back, loool go try it.

You and your high ping

(click to show/hide)

can contribute as much strength as you want in NA while this thing happens. Nobody at all will be upset if (when) you teamwound us greatly. Nearly all of us love you, you know.


And normally I'd be upset at changing mode of NA/EU1 to siege for some event. By normally, I mean in the olden days of staggering population and active turbo-nerds to marshall everyone around. Sure, I'd take a populated battle server over siege literally every time, but I don't have those options. If the measure of changing the gamemode for an event would indeed bring significantly more population, I don't mind at all breaking the hearts of those who despise siege but love battle.

I'll be breaking my own heart too, after all. I don't like siege one bit. But I'm too desperate for other motherfuckers to fight in cRPG, so I'm all good with desperate measures.

I have the bad feeling that we are going to loose more players than we would win if suddenly on a sat/sun peektime there is siege instead of battle. there will be loads of people logging of again because they entered EU1 for battle and will just feels betrayed by beeing forced to play siege.
I don't know how long it takes to change a server from one mode to the other. BUt if it is just a matter of a few seconds server downtime I think it would be a nice Idea to have a siege map once an hour. So siegelovers have somthing to look forward to and battlelovers will just accept it (even enjoy it) because they know it's only one map until battle is back.

I know, less than a minute. In my experience, after two hours of siege, people are very tired, shouting to switch to battle mode. CHN server experience!

Zeus makes a good point, Make siege double XP and battle normal or 1/2 when you do this! Also i jumped on a native siege server yesterday i think it was GK siege or something and it had over 120 players and it was amazing!

I understand how some people have no love for siege, but it always gives me a good chuckle when they complain about how agi trolls, delayers, HA/HX, and basically all archers and ranged in general killed off this mod. Well, siege basically solves each and every one of those issues, so you kinda brought it on yourselves by never playing NA2/EU2.  :wink:

I also hate it when people get hyped up for siege in the past and play for 1 map, and complain about unbalanced teams and bad maps and leave for NA 1

I don't have any "ulterior motive" I don't think its right to just shut battle down so those who like siege can get a few more bodies to kill in it. But hey do what you want as I have been finding NW's battle server and natives battle and TDM servers just as much fun- the only down side and why I never really play them as much as cRPG is the lack of persistence i.e. scores as well as k/d, being stuck with the gear of what nation you are playing, etc.

First of all, the siege servers are up, it's just that nobody plays on them since the summer holidays ended. Why? Nobody knows for sure...
I never really participated strat, so for me the main reason not to play siege is the conquest maps presence. Especially Tueten' ones, added with February patch (Island Outpost - the naval map, which is easy to defend if the whole defending team occupies the farthest ship, and the Raid of the Vikings with a hugely extended timer - one round there lasts 45 minutes or so). There is some more bullshit conquest maps, like Helms Deep, or that bugged one, where you can't select some spawn points because the map is too big to fit on the screen, and so on. So, what is actually happening is that people just leave whenever they see the conquest maps, because they are boring, unbalanced, designed for well-populated server and the conquest mode by itself also tempts people to leech. I don't quite understand, however, why they were not removed, despite the fact that in September Dupre stated that they have to be taken out:
Teeth: Map rotation, conquest maps taking out(admins can change to conquest if requested and enough people)
The last time I played the siege in December and I saw all the conquest maps still in rotation. Thankfully, we had an admin who was switching maps to regular siege, so we had a wonderful day on EU2. People played siege all day long, and EU1 was absent. It just shows that if there would be a proper map rotation, people would have played the siege gladly. But admins are not always online, and populating the EU2 without them is worthless: once you got some people online -BAM!- conquest map appears, and people leave immediately. Simple as that. The lack of Strategus is also a massive blow to siege population, and that's how we lost lots of Greys, DRZ, Quincies, Kalmars, Fenris and so on. On the other hand, I know that there are many true siegelovers, like Cora, Sinisstra, Blockula and others, who would like to play siege only, but right now it is impossible to make it well-populated on every day basis, so they stopped to pop up. To be honest, people expected the map rotation to be fixed many months ago. That one particular bugged map was a well-known population-killer since the time it was added. But Donkeys are gone, Fips left the mod as well and there was nobody to care about it. And this is the reason why nobody plays siege.

I don't really think that it is too late to revive the regular siege, but op ideas sounds fine to me. Maybe these strategus-like events would bring some people back and will remind us about that time when mod was alive and kicking. But I'd like to see the fixed map rotation as well, just to see if we can populate EU2 by ourselves, like we used to, and have our tiny fun. Anyway, I really appreciate your efforts, Dupre. You're doing well :wink:

Arenaceous_castle is one of the conquest maps that kills the server, it MIGHT be the bugged one where not all the spawns fit inside the camera frustum, I know because I made it and getting the crpg_spawn_camera the right height was a huge pain in the ass. Does it still have the 'map spawns wont fit inside the frustum' problem? Nobody ever gives good feedback on maps so they stay broken for months and months...

I modified both rotations with conquest maps removed and sent them to Nashringa before the last patch, but he said that they would be committed in the next patch. I assumed this meant a small hotfix or a small patch was to follow relatively soon, but alas. The thing is, the changes to the rotations don't actually require a patch, they just need a server restart. Perhaps if you ask him nicely he might be able to do that. Although server restarting powers might still be in the donkey team's hands.

Depends on what u think a tryhard is. Everyone one siege who is just rushing up ladders and dying directly is for me more tryhard than someone on eu1 running around and duelling people.

If you die directly when rushing up a ladder you're, unfortunately, not doing it right  :mrgreen:

Rarely dose the crpg community agree so strongly on something, actually.

Even if you don't like siege normally, it's good just to mix it up once in a while.  Variety is the spice and all that.

I think this is perfect.  Try it, you'll like it.

I remember sitting like 3-4 hours a day on an empty eu_crpg_siege_inqui server back those days.
Since this is not mine why should I bother to bore the shit out of my self?
And that's the problem all players have, why should they bore around an empty server, they check if someone is playing or play something else..

Eu2 is empty because... it's empty. I look at server list and see eu1:50, eu2:0 eu7:12 and join eu7 becuase I like it, eu2 is empty and I don't like battle.

Event is ok, but I don't think forcing people to play siege is a good idea.

kind of strange 52 people voted yes to turn battle server into siege yet when 80+ people are playing not a single one playing the actual siege server   :P
There is nothing strange with it. Siege server is plain dead. It is destroyed for good with the wrong maps (the battle and even the strat ones, which were never designed to play siege (http://s020.radikal.ru/i701/1601/8f/b687df60a169.png)). With the horrible bugged conquest Maps. With the awful Tueten's maps (sorry to say that, but it is a real fact - he is an excellent fun map creator, but his siege/battle maps are too... let's say "unusual" :P). With the awful chat bug which can be cured with the game restart only. With the strat dead in the end. It was destroyed since FEBRUARY, and it is actually a miracle that some people were playing it untill June-July. I really love siege and it is the only gamemode I'm interested, but yes I don't play the actual siege server, because we have actual shit server instead :evil:

But I have a positive feelings, since Dupre is now figuring out the siege problems. Just as he promised to give us the strat reset and did so in the end, I think that he is able to do something with the siege as well :wink:

So it's just because the map rotation in your opinion?
Move to the scene editing section and get started - no one will hold you back.

Yesterday and the day before that, siege was populated quite nicely.
People who hadn't been seen for over half a year (like my friend Brutii here), returned just for the amazingness that is siege.
Sadly, some maps had the chat bug, sometimes one of tueten's maps appears (sorry tueten, but your maps just kill my fps), and then some people leave, only for Porthos or someone else to get an admin to change the maps. All map names are fucked so we never really know what's gonna happen :)

I hope siege will stay alive longer, It will probably attract a few more old siege players and clans (like ninjas, there were 5 or 6 of them online wich havent been online for more than two months or so.)

Dupre best dev since sliced bread

This is a really good idea, with a focal point like this and the dormant population of siege lovers that we have, I have no doubt this will be a huge success. Honestly the main issue with Siege now is that the population can't sustain two servers 24/7 and nobody wants to sit there for half an hour alone waiting for Siege to populate.

Depends on what u think a tryhard is. Everyone one siege who is just rushing up ladders and dying directly is for me more tryhard than someone on eu1 running around and duelling people.

This is why I hate siege. There is no point in trying as hard as you can and living brcauase death has no meaning other than a few seconds lost on your team who is probably defense and does not know what the word FLAAAAAAAAAAAG means. I am pretty awful at this game, but I personally find battle more satisfying because you only have 1 life per round. In the end its all preference, I would ake battle over DM/TDM/siege any day,

Everyone loves siege but no one plays it..
I hate siege. It's boring, completely one sided and repetitive, here's what happens in siege every time:

attackers attack a castle
defenders defend
either side wins

Sure, it's similar with battle but at least I can choose which part of the map I want to visit, I don't want to spend literally 95% of the time climbing up a VERY slow ladder or spend it being shot to shit because archers on siege are broken beyond repair making shielder the ONLY route to take if you want to have a shred of a decent time there.

I don't mind playing siege every now and then because change is nice, but I don't love it, I would rather play battle, because at least there, it's not just an endless "who can spam the hardest" game.

That's just my two cents on it anyways, siege just doesn't agree with me, and other people are free to enjoy it, but meh, for me it's just shit.
