Title: Goodbye my friends
Post by: Kansuke on June 03, 2016, 07:46:26 pm
So i've decided to quit Crpg in protest of the latest events which happened here : http://forum.melee.org/game-admin-feedback/(eu)blackbow-feedback-thread/msg1231769/#new (http://forum.melee.org/game-admin-feedback/(eu)blackbow-feedback-thread/msg1231769/#new)

I have been playing this game for a little more than 5 years now, I've made many friends and always been loyal to my only clan: SeaRaiders which would then become Nords and Vanguards.

I'll keep alot of good memories with me as it's been a blast to play it in your company.

Many thanks to chadz and his crew for all the funny moments I've spent on this mod.

I hope to play with most of you again in OKaM or Bannerlord when they are released, goodbye my friends

Don't ask for looms, I've got only one and it will go into our armory.

Or not. The cRPG detoxification worked well for me, the therapy consisted in low pop + high autism concentration + broken servers/ping for months.

Just remember why you play this game. Play because its fun, not because of personalities. Removing an activity you find fun in protest will only harm yourself, you won't make any changes by doing that. Its more like you are walking away because of the drama getting too intense and possibly because you aren't getting your way.

Play because its fun, or don't play because its not fun. Everything else is BS. No one is here to change people or change who is admin or whatever. There are far more important things in the world than that petty shite

What baffles me more is the need to make a public thread about quitting.
No idea why everyone does it. Guess I should have made one as well?

Anyway, I understand Kansuke's point though, I myself quit not to "reward" the idiots by helping keeping the server populated and frustrating myself over and over again when such shit happens.

And as Heskey said, it will not get better.
Admins that do speak up get removed, admins that behave like utter crap get to stay, what is the whole point?
By encouraging proper admins to stay put it only is getting worse by the minute.

Post by: Switchtense on June 05, 2016, 05:28:30 pm
I mean...

Not that i'm saying we should or anything, but since it's the end of days we could always arrange a TS event where someone lets us all know when a certain admin is in EU1, then we all join and start spamming 'friend' in chat. The outcomes would be:
1 - Admin in question bans us all. We all kick off on forums and they get removed (cos precedent)
2 - Admin in question bans 1 but not all of us. We all kick off about admin bias on forum and make a strong case for them to be removed.
3 - Admin in question does not ban any of us. We get one of our mates who was there but not spamming 'friend' to kick off on forum about how an admin was present in the server and took no action.

I'm fairly confident that we'd only be dealing with scenarios 1-2 though, the notion of this particular admin missing a rare golden opportunity to ban me is inconceivable. At this point (i am advocating nothing), an argument could be made that for players who are sick of this shit and wouldnt be playing anyway, a greater good could be served if such players effectively 'suicide-bomb' EU1 one night to receive permabans in large numbers then use this to remove the troublesome admin. For the benefit of remaining players.

Looks like I will be reinstalling cRPG.

Removing players from admin position is especially cruel punishment. He'll become that one dude on server without admin powers and everybody will start to pick on him.

Installed warband yesterday. Good jesus, our lord and saviour, I'm shit at this this game right now. But native still going strong - 150 peps on siege, 40+ on DM, 2 battle servers, Ludos and that's only EU side. Maybe I will play it a bit, after a year and a half long break it was quite entertaining.

I would joke about them making someone even worse an admin next, but I literally can't think of anyone worse than the people who've already been admins.

You know Blackbow has to be complete and utter shite if even me and Xant agree on something




I'll enjoy quoting this when your admin is taken from you and you cry all over forums about quitting the game as a result

That day will be a very good one.

There were many cases where players after promoted to admin position entirely stop playing the mod. But was there a case of inactive player promoted to admin? I would be the best, admin in exile! Not to mention that I'm probably still permabanned. Is it even possible to give admin powers to banned players?

If possible, I probably wouldn't start cRPG even if given almighty powers to oppress the plebs (like there are any left who aren't admins haha). But you can bet Nuffen would come back in a jiffy if you send him a message about his cRPG adminship reinstated. He's the kind of loyal servant this mods desrves.

Edit: If I recall right, Blackbow was made an admin alongside Raylin because of their contribution to this mod. At one point they were only ones doing things for cRPG.

What happened? I'm never up to date with most things that happen in c-rpg cuz I don't participate in events, I don't do strat and I rarely read forum posts... can someone enlight me?

Blackbow the only black cRPG admin on European soil, went full Leshma/ODINVALHAAALA and called another player's family chocolate chip cookie collaborators. Player who is longtime veteran of this mod without any previous history of bad behavior, decided it is time to call it a day and stop playing. Wise decision on his behalf.

Counterpoint: Michael was an admin.

Not surprised Heskey is the one leading the charge to unadmin someone he personally never liked. Like the hypocrite bundle of sticks gives a shit about bad admins, lol. This guy supported the worst shit NA admins endlessly. Funny how now, all of a sudden, admins not being up to snuff is the reason cRPG went down the shitter. At least Blackbow usually pushed back against the krems type retards who really killed the game. The dozen retard "admins" who promoted and encouraged trollish cunts have always been much more deserving of having adminship removed.

This could've been settled by owning him in a FT7, as is proper cRPG etiquette. If he quit just over this then he's one of the most thin-skinned bundle of stickss this mod has ever seen, but I doubt he did. Easy to quit in outrage when the mod is on it's last legs anyways, plagued by useless trolls, and you've already played it for years. A few years ago no way he would've ever quit over something so trivial.

The thing people dont understand about all this is that Blackbow is THE voice of wisdom : but the first admin who has the balls to fucking change something is considered as a bitch?

Great... leeching, delaying, not contributing to the team effort, teamwounding, insulting, chat spam, voicechat spam, all that bullshit was pretty much happening constantly, now there is finally an admin doing something against all of those things and u don't like it !

Pffff, sounds like a whole load of Nazi collaborator bullshit to me if you dont think that Blackbow is saving the cRPG community from the blatant inaction and ineptitude of the rest of the admin team. And i dare you to find a single instance of Blackbow ever suggesting that he thinks the rest of the admins arent doing their jobs and that he's the only sane man in a world gone mad.

He only likes to pretend the game is dead because he quit a while ago because of all the shameless brocoding, delaying and trolling on servers.

Note that he quit for these reasons nearly a year after Blackbow became admin and dedicated himself to sorting out the Krems menace, lol. So Blackbow did a pretty good job eh Oberyn? So good that you quit the mod.

Whenever he was in the server those fucking viruses were dealt with, in my experience, so yes, clearly a man of his word. Sadly a single admin can only do so much, especially when so many others are either completely apathetic or virus trolls themselves. Strange how incensed you are about Blackbow's admin boasting. Could it possibly be because you, again, endlessly supported the other sort of half-assed "admins" purely because they tolerated the "playstyle" of the abjectly retarded trolls? No, of course not, you are just so concerned with cRPG's health that it is unbearable for you to have a subpar admin on the team (lol).
Title: Re: Goodbye my friends
Post by: Oberyn on June 09, 2016, 10:30:34 am
cRPG's already dead, i just dont like watching someone who's shit at their job crash and burn. And i dont like seeing an individual in any role shit on their colleagues, especially when said individual is wholly reliant on their goodwill and is at the very bottom of the pecking order. Blackbow's going to lose his admin sooner or later, i'm just trying to accelerate things.

And yes, i like the other admins because they allow people in the server a bit of freedom. If you wanted a linear on-rails combat experience where you run in immediately in a straight line and attack the first thing you see there are other games out there.

And i call bullshit on your first statement. Because Blackbow was nearly always in the server and you still somehow managed to find the game intolerable. This is just you sugar-coating it and putting on rose tinted glasses because he claimed to be the antithesis of that shit you hate. This is part of what makes you an idiot here, politically, and everywhere. Someone just needs to convince you 'We're against that thing you hate' and you'll vehemently follow them in blind faith regardless of what they actually do/dont do. It doesnt matter to you whether or not Blackbow actually made cRPG better for you (you did quit forever whilst he was 'policing' the servers), in principle he's a 'good admin' because he hates Krems. Let's ignore that this thread here is a non-Krems quitting the mod because of Blackbow, you still approve cos Blackbow hates Krems.

Also you seem to throw me into the Krems category a lot. I've never been banned for delaying, leeching, brocoding, voice spam, chat spam, all those other little things that precious Oberyn cannot handle in his little war games. And i've spent a decent amount of my game time in the last year in servers with Blackbow. Just because i dont lose my shit like you when a couple of players (god forbid) decide to mess around slightly, doesnt mean i do it myself.

Really, there's not only one, but multiple multiplayer team-based medieval themed melee games with customizable equipment and stats? Name one. I can name you a dozen games where krems being usual krems would be straight up a bannable offense. I can name you a dozen other games where groups of retards can gather and mess around to their heart's content. cRPG has no alternative though. Maybe the shit trolls can go for one of the many, many choices available to their kind, or is that not convenient for them? Much better to shit up a team-based game with a dwindling population I guess.
I never played the game the way you describe so I have no idea where you got your retarded interpretation of how I think the game should be played. I just had the apparently unreasonable expectation that if people want to play a game they should fucking play it, and if it bores them they can fuck off to skype or TS or a chatroom or to suck on their boyfriend's dick. The whole "just having fun lol" where fun means trolling the rest of the server to the best of your bundle of sticks abilities while giggling with other drunk/drugged deviants on TS only became common when the servers first started dipping hard on population, and the consensus among devs/admins was that it should be tolerated to keep the population healthy (that worked out great, by the way).

And I don't really need some psychic telling me what I think and why. I saw Blackbow deal with trollish cunts over and over and over again. I understand that others may have had bad experiences with him, but personally yes he was one of my favorite admins, because he actually did his fucking job, unlike some other apathetic wankstains I could name. I didn't get brainwashed by some fucking sig, you moronic twat, it's an impression based off of my own anectodal evidence. And wtf do you know about when I quit? Were you there? Was Blackbow? No, the krems retard squad was, and after the 6000th "hilarious" repeat of the usual retarded trolling I realized the fun I had from playing was outweighed by the frustration of dealing with the antics of toddler-level IQ idiots. I'm sure if it was up to Blackbow the server would be even more deserted because he would've banned their asses long ago, but the powers that be, in their ultimate wisdom, have coaxed and encouraged these sorts of "players" with their tolerance. Even then cRPG would probably be dead in either case just cause it's based off such an old and niche game in the first place.

Ah, speak o' the devil, here's one of the dumb cunts. I'm not sure what sort of diseased "mind" (being charitable here) can possibly find trolling the same people on the same server enjoyable over and over and over again, almost in a mechanical way. If the trolling was at least slightly clever and not the same rehashed bullshit every single time it may have been bearable, but the autistic dedication to being unoriginal spergs was really something else. So what are you, a drunk or a stoner? You realize you would be banned outright in literally any other team-based game community for even a quarter of the shit you kremstards consider normal? Of course you do, that's why you're here.

Nah, I haven't played for nearly 2 years and my ban history is near perfect. I don't think i'm the dumb cunt here, I'm certainly not the one who can only get their view across by using swears and insults (inferiority complex maybe?) I certainly wouldn't let something happening on a pc game upset me as much as it upsets you.
I just find it funny knowing that something I created as a bit of fun has the supreme power to make rage nerds like you cry so hard.

No it was just started as not too serious clan with a specific theme and playstyle. The original aim was just to have fun, not ruin fun for others. In the earlier days we had a more strict policy on trolling and we had much less new recruits, The more we messed around the bigger the clan got. As the clan got much bigger, probably due to the kind of playstyle I guess we attracted more troll players and guys messing around. I can't be held accountable for the actions of 270+ different individuals whose only link to eachother is a banner and clan tag.

Also both wrong, just a regular guy, living a normal life (not crying about gaming).

Yes, can't be held accountable, clearly, there's no unified theme or constant thread throughout the whole of krems clan existence of them being shitty fucking retarded trolls. Maybe your "playstyle" attracted trolls because that's what it was in the first place? But no, it must have become the central gathering clan for pozzed up trolls organically, for some mysterious unquantifiable reason.

Yeah, much better to tailor the game to trolls, worked out so well. I'm obviously the only other person who ever played the mod that finds the relentless bundle of sticksry a barrier to their enjoyment of the mod. At least I was there at the ground floor and throughout the years before the shitstains completely took over, condoned by devs and admins. You're right though, if this is what the devs intended for the mod I didn't belong here from the start. Oh well, off to play some Mercenaries in vastly more populated servers with nary a krems cunt on the horizon.

It's true we have always kind of acted in a similar manner since day 1, Krems Clan is now over 4 years old. The difference is nobody cared when there were only 4 or 5 of us doing the same stuff, it's only since the clan blew up in size from mid 2013 or something that people started hating on it. The main question you need to ask is if the Krems play style is so bad for this mod then why have so many people joined? Are they all retards? Or is it just that some people have fun in a different way than you do.

Catapulted it into previously unknown stratospheres of fun for everyone involved. No idea how it ever managed before the existence of Krems.

Krems seldom played cRPG. They played "spam the voice commands" and "spawn last stand while rest of team gets slaughtered" and a variety of other "games", but it certainly wasn't cRPG. I love your reversal though, very nice. Apparently scum-sucking trolls = love-filled, curious individuals, while people actually playing the game are toxic scum. Here's an idea, if the game starts losing it's luster and is boring, don't play it. Trying to justify the meta trolling as "fun" because playing the actual game isn't fun anymore is fucking retarded. I'm sure this perspective had absolutely no effect on the playerbase though, after all, why would you want toxic scum when you can have your fill of lovable curious individuals? Welp, they got it, and it worked out wonderfully, servers are healthier than they've ever been.

Hopefully in that game there will be enough cool new shit to keep all parties entertained and happy. Who said anything about us trolling in the new game? We will still be similar, but I'm certainly not paying 30 euros just to stand in a corner hugging and using voice commands (although that will happen on occasion). After 5 years it might be a different story  :mrgreen:

It will be a pay to play game, and they will maintain the same tolerance since you eventually become a "customer".

You're free to buy or not. If there won't be any restrictions about Krems being Krems, i will pay. and If there will be any, i won't. I think you can calculate the outcome. It's not a charity work.

Anyway, there are trolls in every single multiplayer game and the amount is too damn high. Ppl like you will always be the minority. Get used to it or just burn your pc with gasoline.

Nope, cRPG did perfectly fine for years with a much larger playerbase and trolls were never more than a minor nuisance. Strange how hundreds, even thousands of players, much more than the dozens of alts that pad up the krems roster (lol 277 unique people, sure buddy), apparently managed to enjoy playing the game for years, instead of "playing" for "fun", i.e anything but the actual game itself. How could this possibly be? I was assured by Heskeytime himself that these toxic scum are but a small minority when compared to the fun-loving krems! Heskey being a dumb bundle of sticks completely mistaken bundle of sticks, what an unprecedented event. But sure tell me more how games should be built from the ground up to cater to these fucking parasites. If there's no "toxic scum" to troll these wastes of space lose interest. They're literal fucking ticks.

And yes, i like the other admins because they allow people in the server a bit of freedom. If you wanted a linear on-rails combat experience where you run in immediately in a straight line and attack the first thing you see there are other games out there.

Literally further up the thread. If the retarded "trolls are your playerbase" spergery and endless excuses for why they should be accomodated in every way possible wasn't enough of a hint you wholeheartedly endorse the worse shit admins.

In my time spent on Eu1 I liked to mess around a bit with Kremsis, was brocodin, suiciding (how pissed off grey cunts were when as a last one alive I went spec 3 times in a row, cause I refused to kill Morgana Le Fay. Still cheers mu up) and doing stuff that Kremsis do (though in a limited extent), but I have to partially agree with Oberyn. Sometimes it was just too much and even for me it was killing the pleasure of playing on Eu1.

And btw, FIn was always very cool player, but he also was a terrible admin.

Post by: Oberyn on June 09, 2016, 01:53:50 pm
So what is the factor showing Merc mod simultaneous rise in playerbase even as cRPG crumbled? What is the difference between the two, exactly? One is just a pale shadow of the other, yet has grown as the better version has slowly putrefied. If it was simply because the game the mod is based on has itself had a free-falling playerbase, then that would be reflected everywhere. If it was because the game is old and niche, it would also be universal to every single mod. But yeah, I'm sure the rise of a clan literally dedicated to trolling as the biggest in cRPG, encouraged and even joined by various admins, had absolutely zero effect. Practically irrelevant, even. After all, those are the majority of players in every single game.

Post by: Oberyn on June 09, 2016, 02:32:44 pm
Most of the balance issues were present during the heyday of cRPG, when the servers were the fullest they've ever been, in much worse manner even. Balance issues are endemic to multiplayer games. DTV server being fuller than any other is something that was still happening after the supposed killingblow changes. Strategus is a side-show and completely irrelevant to cRPG playerbase. The players who played purely for Strategus were seldom on servers.

Siege was always way smaller than battle, and it started depopulating just as battle also experienced a downturn. It was mod-wide, and while 5-10 people can still play battle, the minimum for an enjoyable match on a siege map was usually much higher (depending on map). That's what made siege server more vulnerable imo. The map rotation was always complained about, constantly, in every single iteration of cRPG, same as balance changes.

A lot of these may have been factors in falling population, but none of them killed it. Playerbase could've bounced back as it had many times before, and as other mods can clearly manage. Once it was weakened enough is when the rott set in and the trolls were proportionally great enough that they had an increasing effect, that I agree with. Find it pretty funny how on one hand you try to minimize the role of krems and their sort in killing the mod while simultaneously accepting that their shit-tier trolling was much more effective once the playerbase was smaller, so much so that they even constituted the "majority" in your eyes. And the population has just kept falling ever since. Krems are a symptom of terminal cancer, tumours that show up and grow unchecked once vitality has left, and instead of getting chemo the devs/admins basically started chain-smoking unfiltereds and x-raying themselves for fun. There had always been a healthy playerbase despite a few trolls here and there, so nothing to worry about.

ps: chadz would be the worst fucking admin ever.

Whenever he was in the server those fucking viruses were dealt with, in my experience, so yes, clearly a man of his word. Sadly a single admin can only do so much, especially when so many others are either completely apathetic or virus trolls themselves. Strange how incensed you are about Blackbow's admin boasting. Could it possibly be because you, again, endlessly supported the other sort of half-assed "admins" purely because they tolerated the "playstyle" of the abjectly retarded trolls? No, of course not, you are just so concerned with cRPG's health that it is unbearable for you to have a subpar admin on the team (lol).
And how exactly would you know? You don't play C-RPG anymore, so stop talking out of your ass lmfao.

I do agree that Blackbow when he started out was doing well, but I have to say he's actually gotten worse now that he's gotten a bit more experience, he's a lot more enforcing and is a bit too heavy handed in his actions now. I'd advise you to actually come back and watch Krems now, we're actually a lot more involved in fighting than just sitting at the back of the map and making the base. Don't get me wrong, we're still the happy group of retards who chat spam and voice command spam all day, but we are actually playing the game, albeit some with weird builds, others with normal "META" builds.

We choose to play stupid builds because we're not playing the game seriously, when we do it becomes a whole different story lol, when Krems are together and playing seriously we've often taken the top of the scoreboards and destroyed enemy teams, we play seriously when we want to, not when some butthurt player tells us to.

Either way, C-RPG isn't dead, no matter how much you want it to be.
Title: Re: Goodbye my friends
Post by: Switchtense on June 09, 2016, 05:13:18 pm
I'm arguing against this daft causality; 'servers are smaller cos Krems are annoying'. Surely Krems are annoying because the servers are smaller, you have fewer people to actually fight and having 2-5 players on your team not assisting is a death sentence.

I did stop playing for the most part because of Krems.
Maybe I am not alone with this, and I guess quite a few Krems see that as a success on their part, but they managed to take the fun away from cRPG for me.
Title: Re: Goodbye my friends

Let me tell you a secret Oberyn, Krems will maintain its life in okam starting from day 1.

And probably play that game in completely different manner. cRPG is one dimensional game where people came with various ways to broaden their options, fooling around is just another such "strategy". But when it comes to a proper game, which offers multiple possibilities even most hardcore trolls won't find it amusing to just fool around because it is already incorporated as part of original game design. It isn't lucrative anymore because it stops being trolling and becomes just another of multiple ways of playing the game.

You can pretend, but we all know huge portion of your "enjoyment" comes from schadenfreude. When people become immersed in OKAM they'll barely acknowledge presence of trolls because they'll be busy playing. There will be much less to spoil because game won't be one dimensional battle simulator.

The servers Krems played the least died first.

Krems killed mod by not being in all servers simultaneously to keep them alive!

Actually, siege was always packed with Krems.
DTV died cause not many people interested.

EU1 you feel Krems being on the server more though since you are instantly 1v2, while in siege it is not that much of a difference since you can just respawn.
Title: Re: Goodbye my friends
Post by: Falka on June 09, 2016, 10:23:49 pm
Siege was always most vulnerable to the lack of players; needs at least 40 players to be somewhat enjoyable and with the population divided between 3 servers, no wonder siege was the first victim. Merging Eu 1 and 2 in one server and changing the game mode every other day, which was suggested back then, could be the solution, but well, who cares now.

My issue with voice chat spam was how it flooded general chat. Loudness wasn't an issue, always playing with lowest volume or completely off.

My issue with the voice chat spam is it completely ruined an otherwise cool and useful and interesting feature. I think it's QMPS to mute all voice chat? Whatever it was I did it instantly as soon as entering the servers after a while. Sure the quality of the voices may not have been pro, but it was awesome to be able to warn/be warned about incoming danger quickly, or tell people/be told in siege server a direction to go in, or a bunch of other stuff. You know what wasn't cool or interesting? Hearing them spammed over and over in a row in the most mechanical, autistic fashion possible. Something as simple as a forced small pause beween commands would've helped, although I'm sure the absolute cunts who couldn't spend more than 5 seconds without spamming them would have whined endlessly about opresshun, and still spammed em as much as possible anyways.

Yes but iirc to activate it you need to use 5 commands in a row, as soon as you wait a few of seconds you don't trigger it, and with the long voice commands you can pretty much spam it

If I somehow had credibility with you before this post, then here it all goes.

Why would I need an excuse to defend them? I've never found it annoying when I spawn, that people are spamming adorable voice commands at each other. It's like the 'Wololo' spam before an Age of Empires game.

I like inquisitive players who push the game limits to the maximum. Usually those are the same players that end up trying new builds, strategies and weapons that nobody else considers using. Building defensive camps for throwers/ranged which include weapon racks for ammo refills, or even having the balls to build a catapult in EU1. I love players like that because they're using features of the game that rarely see use. In many ways, Krems would be the perfect testers for OkaM's overall mechanics and features due to this ceaseless quest to find unusual/broken elements in a multiplayer game. But a lot of people are going to hate players like that because in a 15 vs 15 fight if a handful of players stop to build a catapult then that team is outnumbered on the battlefield and is likely to lose. That would indicate to me that siege weapons are not working as intended in the public servers (duh) and if this were a new game that would be something that requires attention from the developers. But what you gonna do? If catapults were fast and easy to build/use, everyone would use them constantly. But if you straight-up remove them, you're limiting the features of your game.

For some people 'fun' is doing the same thing every time and trying to perfect it (the same build, the same weapons, the same strategy), but for others 'fun' is the constant pursuit of something new, weird, 'broken', strange-looking in the game.

Personally I find the latter far more fun than the former and it's why cRPG engaged me for so long because there is so much variety and they kept adding new features (eg. nudge). I'll make the highest possible STR/PS build because I want to see what happens. I'll use a wooden stick or a tiny hammer and even sometimes toggle 'walk' but i'll still *try* to kill enemies because I want to see if I can. I'll abuse the nudge mechanic where it's cheap and effective to do so.

For people who's only understanding of 'fun' is to do the same thing over and over until they're the best at it, they will never understand the restless desire to find new and weird things to do in game. Equally, people like me who enjoy playing solely to find new and strange things to do struggle to understand how someone can enjoy the monotony of playing 'optimally' within the meta every day for multiple years. The players who give Krems a lot of shit for trying to keep it interesting, there may be a resulting element of 'pay-back' that encourages the voice-spam to continue just sliiiiiiightly longer than it otherwise would have, just to irritate the players who rage about it.

As for brocoding, players on the full range from tryhard to carefree do it every now and then. You'll see 'serious' AmoX guys do it, you'll see any number of players who recognise each other on the battlefield sometimes stop for a hug or hang back slightly in combat. That's the price of having full control over your character's movement in combat. Krems have a very strong 'krems' identity (I'm sure that is in no way driven by a 'fuck krems, you trolls' attitude from others), and part of their desired image/theme/RP is this 'harmless', 'fluffy' persona which really does lend itself to in-game hugs. Again, we may never know how much or how little this would happen if they didn't know it annoyed certain players. That may not even be a factor.

As for delaying. Delaying pisses me off after a round is over. But cRPG players need to get some perspective and take off their rose-tinted glasses if they think delaying is bad in cRPG. I came to cRPG from IG_Battlegrounds server in native and jeeeeeeeeeesus would rounds last for fucking ages. Ranged camper vs cowardly infantry 1 shot from death... Last player running around the town map for ages waiting for a 1 v 1 fight. Pointless 'last stand' in some obscure corner of the map. Even without flags, our rounds are insanely fast and always have been. And if flags worked every time it'd be even faster. If you cant even wait 2 minutes, then the last active gamemode on cRPG really is not for you.

TLDR - we've had it pretty good in cRPG. Fast rounds, and players who all know each other. But if your intention over the last few years of cRPG was to hone your skills doing the same thing every day to become some fearsome angel of death to the server, you've wasted the last few years of your life because everyone in that server knows and potentially likes you too well to take you seriously.

Every game is going to have a mix between 'my weapon was nerfed 1 point of damage, now it's worthless and I need to use the new *best* weapon' and 'my weapon does 0 damage but I like the way it looks so i'll always use this', with most players sitting somewhere in the middle. Anyone at either extreme is going to find the opposite annoying. Krems are more towards the latter half, but they make the game more interesting for me than the other type of player which as far as I'm concerned are just there to bulk out the numbers.


*Edit*- and I've never been able to fathom how Switch can find Krems so annoying in cRPG, but tolerate playing any other online game with me because we play like 'Krems' in most of them. Remember our fat topless unarmed Mexican wrester characters in SWTOR? How we'd keep finding players in the RP server who were looking for immersion and dance our fat sweaty bodies right next to them? Lol

If I somehow had credibility with you before this post, then here it all goes.

Why would I need an excuse to defend them? I've never found it annoying when I spawn, that people are spamming adorable voice commands at each other. It's like the 'Wololo' spam before an Age of Empires game.

no it's not

I like inquisitive players who push the game limits to the maximum.  except krems are dragging it to its minumum, i seriously thought it was a joke this one lol Usually those are the same players that end up trying new builds, strategies and weapons that nobody else considers using. Building defensive camps for throwers/ranged which include weapon racks for ammo refills, or even having the balls to build a catapult in EU1. yes, yes ofc. when 15% of the team is waisting time building a catapult (which everyone them included know it's impossibile to do and even if they do it's going to be useless, they're not retards or trolls, no they're pioneers with balls to fight the system and its conformism, how blind we couldn't see that. I love players like that because they're using features of the game that rarely see use.  In many ways, Krems would be the perfect testers for OkaM's overall mechanics and features due to this ceaseless quest to find unusual/broken elements in a multiplayer game. But a lot of people are going to hate players like that because in a 15 vs 15 fight if a handful of players stop to build a catapult then that team is outnumbered on the battlefield and is likely to lose. That would indicate to me that siege weapons are not working as intended in the public servers (duh) and if this were a new game that would be something that requires attention from the developers.  But what you gonna do? If catapults were fast and easy to build/use, everyone would use them constantly. But if you straight-up remove them, you're limiting the features of your game. i'm still thinking and hoping you're trolling, you can't be serious; i'm going to answer as if you were though, hopefully resulting FUCKING PRANKED BRO because it was a joke all along. the healing tent/catapult/ammo stack features were all thought to be used in a situation of massive fights, which is strategus; and for some time they were used, and rather succesfully, no idea what strats battles are now. they weren't polished, they were and looked clumsy, but they added something to the strats battle. seing them being built in a battle of 15 v 15 that it's going to last at max 6 min it's annoying, it's like seing a retarded kid doing something stupid and expecting it to work, despite it being obvious to us "normal people" (or tryhards) that it's never going to work, except in this case even the brain damaged kids are aware it's not going to work or be useful at all, and that pisses off us conformists who don't see the potential in having an ammo stack at spawn that it's just going to disappear the next round (if they manage to build it at all)



For some people 'fun' is doing the same thing every time and trying to perfect it (the same build, the same weapons, the same strategy), but for others 'fun' is the constant pursuit of something new, weird, 'broken', strange-looking in the game.

you put krems in the second category, but that's the mistake; they belong to a third one, a sort of mixture of those 2: finding a broken mechanic and doing the same shit over and over and over and considering it fun for everyone, it's just teasing, it's annoying, it's fucking retarded. going around with mugs it's fine for the first 2 days, doing it for a year it's not. having a whole team going around with stones and sticks and having them camp the spawn it's fun for 2 hours, still having this is just a condition. same for spamming voices chat commands, brocoding, delaying and all the other shit. if they were done occasionally (as they were before this disease called krems was born) people would accept them, some ban requests here and there and good to go.


As for brocoding, players on the full range from tryhard to carefree do it every now and then  sporadically, it was done sporadically and from different players. if between friends someone farts we laugh about it, if the same guy keeps dropping a nuclear bomb every single time we meet in an enclosed space, it loses the fun side and becomes annoying. You'll see 'serious' AmoX guys do it, you'll see any number of players who recognise each other on the battlefield sometimes stop for a hug or hang back slightly in combat. That's the price of having full control over your character's movement in combat. Krems have a very strong 'krems' identity (I'm sure that is in no way driven by a 'fuck krems, you trolls' attitude from others), and part of their desired image/theme/RP is this 'harmless', 'fluffy' persona which really does lend itself to in-game hugs.

If you cant even wait 2 minutes, then the last active gamemode on cRPG really is not for you. sometimes i complain about the safety of milan during the night, but compared to the safety of some village in somalia, we're just off the charts; so what? am i supposed to either not complain or bring the criminal level close to the somalian standars? maybe this is what avant garde krems are doing? making crpg as shit as some native servers to give us the rights to complain and we just misunderstood them?

TLDR - we've had it pretty good in cRPG. Fast rounds, and players who all know each other.

i'm seriously astonished, you reminded me how pointless was discussing with krems and krems supporters, your views are sick and distorted; you're depicting them as "explorers of the hidden gameplays features" when they're plain and simple trolls. i woudln't be so pissed off if they were not masked as saviors, crpg is ded to me and to most it was going to die anyway, but seeing these guys being even praised, sweet baby jesus that drives me nuts. i still hope you don't believe in what you said. the only thing i'm hoping for is that these guys keep this attitude in okam, would like to see how devs and moderators would react to their "brave gameplay testing"

Mm, imagine if they ruined everyone's immersion by making obese characters called 'KFCBOSS' and 'PIZZACRUST' and ran around dancing all the time in ludicrous outfits. What shit-heads would do that?

That has absolutely nothing to do with why the behavior that drove me away from cRPG would also drive me away from OKaM.

I don't care about immersion one bit.

mad cuz bad

Ignorance and utter disrespect towards other people.

cRPG has always been full of banter and retardation, but many Krems behave like they are proud and happy to be driving people away from the game. That makes them fairly despicable in my book. If you know that your behavior is seriously harming the mod, you usually reflect and change it some way. They never even considered that. Instead they kept proudly announcing how trolly they are and proceed to make fun of people whose fun had been seriously spoiled.
Whether that is a result of incredible shortsightedness or plain disrespect, I cannot tell. But either way, as Darmaster said, it is awful that they are held in such high esteem by so many people. Then again, I guess the majority of people who don't support them quit long ago.

Much, much bigger problem will be hackers. They'll probably force many of us to stop playing after some time. Unless cmp has some magic under his sleeve to keep hacking in check. I sure hope so.

Because everyone else in this mod is so enlightened and respectful.

You should know I have also spoken out my resentment towards eg Blackbow. Cause what I have seen from him is proof enough to me, that he is of the same kind.

No Krems has ever been disrespectful to me (unlike the assorted scum at the bottom of the barrel i've clashed with from other clans over the years), but maybe i'm not a dick to them? Cos i'd sure be proud and happy of driving someone away if they were an ass to me.

There are Blackbow supports. Clearly you are not of the same opinion as them.
I stopped counting, but I can asure you that it has been numerous times that they were dicking around on the server. Countless times have I told them to play properly if it's not many people online (If 5 out of 50 are doing fuck all I don't care. But if it is 25% of the team it is different.
Maybe twice out of all those times have they actually started helping the team half assedly. The rest of the times they continued trolling around, bragging about how awesome they are, posting screenshots of them standing around hugging one another in the spawn or whatever they can do to praise their behavior.

Even if their trolling had little impact on the game, I would still not want to play. Just because I don't want to give them a playground to fool around on. And I sure as hell don't want to wind myself up over it, cause I know I will.

When the population was high, you could see such trolling only late at night, when player amount decreased below 20 or so. I remember that a lot of special characters played almost solely in that comfortable niche. It was oddly enjoyable at times, if you neednt sleep that day of course.
When the population began to decrease, the trolling moved closer to primetime and then became regular, disrupting the usual flow of the game. When it is the norm it stops being cool to a lot of people.


I personally stopped playing regularly because of the population number itself: cRPG was enjoyable when it was a living battlefield, where you could have epic rounds fighting people left, right and center. If you managed superbly, you could kill 10 or more in one round! Today 10 is the total number of the opposing team  :lol:

With OKAM, as long as servers are densely populated, "unusual" gameplay will remain an isolated minority and everything will be like at cRPG golden age. No need to worry.

What many "constant-troll-supporters" forget when they accuse "tryhards" of not accepting others people's fun is that if you try some weird new maybe innovative stuff (@Heskey) you can ruin the round for your team. Trying something new is not entirely bad, it is actually great. But if you keep on repeating the same useless tactic over and over again with the minortity of the team, you will probably make your team lose. This often culminates in a total catastrophe for the rest of the team because they are evidently unable to have a good fight without the full support of their team.
"Trolling" around occasionally is not something I would condemn, but having your own fun by sacrificing your team's opportunity to have a normal fight with even chances (which is fun for many people btw) can't be the right way. You shouldn't mistake your personal fun for your team's fun. Not that this argument has never been voiced......
Title: Re: Goodbye my friends
Post by: Akronus97 on June 15, 2016, 02:40:16 pm
I forgot it so much (@me) that I even explicitly stated it in my post the other day:

I didn't just mean 15 vs 15 battles, but yes, you are right, I did not see that post (failed to keep up with reading everything)
Yet, my point remains. I don't just mean the use of catapults. I mean a general way of playing the game. I experienced myself how trolls lost a round with their "tactics" and the population was definetely higher than 15 vs 15.

Also, I referred to your example of trying new tactics (which I called great btw), but I did not mean you as a single individual when I spoke about those ruining the fun of others. Probably I should emphasised that more. Because I have never seen you doing anything comparable, I can't blame you for it obviously.

The stuff I'm supporting is all the fun stuff in between. Voice commands whilst you're charging the enemy or waiting for them to charge you doesnt hurt anyone, I really cant understand what sort of person you'd have to be to see those as a personal attack against your playstyle even if the voice commands being used lack relevance. A player you know randomly sheathing their weapon as you approach, (what kind of asshole then attacks that player when they're unarmed?). Hugs at spawn, which is only really an issue because the maps are too stupidly big for the current population. Small maps or a large playerbase full of cav take care of that issue on their own. Building siege equipment, another remnant of a bygone age but still very much a feature on the servers that allow it - if we're at a point where we're saying 'No spawning without equipment, also you aren't allowed to use X, Y or Z pieces of equipment' then why do those items even exist?

That's my stance. Like it, hate it, whatever.

Didn't say anything against voice commands. Charge the enemy screaming around, I wouldn't care as long as you help anyhow.
Also, I am not entirely sure your point of view troubles many people here. I think it is rather another kind of behaviour that is most annoying. Hugging enemies/friends doesn't have to be detrimental to the team as long as you don't do that all the time. Also, very many people do it. So I don't think that is the big issue here although I am sure there are enough players that refute this behaviour as well.
My criticism was not addressed directly to you, but to a certain behaviour we have been able to witness a lot in the past.

The thing is, just because I enjoy spawning and hearing someone spamming 'I need help!' in that shaky watery voice you only get if you glitch yourself standing in a cart, doesn't mean I wont attempt to kill enemies in my own retarded way. The fact I'm on here approving of the people that made this game more enjoyable and far more memorable for me, doesn't change my own personal playstyle (which varies depending on my mood).

As I said before

many Krems

Definitely not all of them. I don't mind fucking about if you actually do shit when it matters. And I know a few who do that. But it still is only a few.
But if I had taken notes, I'd say 8/10 times I've seen people dicking around in spawn, not even attempting to defend themselves as they were getting killed, it were Krems' doing it.

For too long, too many people have done their very best to ruin my opinion about Krems.
There are enough other games out there. Seeing that kind of behavior in OKaM by them, no matter how small/big the impact, I won't hesitate to drop it and turn towards other games without ever turning back.


Don't get me wrong, if you and some other people got a lot of joy out of it, well done. You are lucky and should make the most of it.
But for me personally, they ruined the game. A game which I have by far put the most hours into out of everything I played.

How did they ruin NA1? They never played there

I know you have no issues with NA ping, so i'm not 100% believing that Krems stopped you from playing this game if it was so beloved.

Due to work I have not been able to play on NA1 in ages. Been off to bed way before anyone went on there.
That might have dragged out the dying process a bit further, but the result would have been the same.

Why is it that you desperately try to take the blame off Krems? I am just stating my personal opinion and feelings, there is literally nothing you can do to change that.

Could you ever be convinced that Bruttus is a genuinely nice guy and that what he did is not the reason for you disliking him? Instead you dislike him probably cause some unknown reason.

Did any anti Krems players ask to speak properly (without abuse) with any leaders of Krems to discuss their concerns? No.
Did any anti Krems players just come to forum to create multiple posts/threads insulting, attacking and spreading vile hate on Krems? Fuck Yea!

We have been called the worst names imaginable, been compared to cancer and all sorts of shit (Even guys came onto our own thread to spread hate, not to mention this very thread, a completely unrelated goodbye thread hijacked by anti Krems guys to bash Krems wtf) So tell me why the hell should we have any empathy for you guys or be bothered that you had to stop playing or you are upset, when for the last 3 years all most of you guys have done is throw shit on us?

I agree that the hate towards Krems is often exaggerated and that each Krems is hated by many players regardless of what he/she has done.

Nevertheless, you reverse the causality concerning the "krems-hate" in your last paragraph. First your actions came, then the hate followed. Later new dynamics followed, true. Still, some of you started and didn't feel the urge to finish this by stopping (could have proven that you are better than some brainless haters - and again, I don't mean all trolls and krems with this statement). Besides, you should consider that your actions on EU1 might bother players that do not constantly throw shit at you as well. Even though most people hate on krems by far not everybody does. Acting a bit differently for the sake of those people might have been a good idea.

Oh and btw, you basically just admitted that what you do is about annoying others and thus, you confirm the prejudices many have about the typical krems.

Good points, my last lines were more directed at the abusive anti Krems crowd and not just guys who disagree and dislike our play style, sorry I should have made that more clear.

As I said before I almost never play anymore and haven't for a while so I can't really comment on whats happening on the servers. What I do know is that Krems Clan doesn't condone aggressive or abusive behaviour towards fellow crpg players so when we receive this kind of abuse on a daily basis it kind of gives us the mentality of 'well screw you, if you want to hate us we will give you a proper reason to' thus the negative cycle continues

Well, I kinda disliked new Krems. Mostly because of newmy old friend factor. Can't dislike poster above, he's an oldmy old friend and probably the most serious Krems player. Dan, you never were particularly skilled at Krems doings :P

Also, there are non Krems who are better Krems than any Krems. Like Phase on his alts, you just can't reach that level of retarded...

Haha cheers, yea I have to agree with you about the new/old Krems thing and I have to blame myself and the other Krems leaders for that. Back in the day our recruitment process was a lot better and we only accepted guys who we knew, had seen and who could play seriously just as well as messing around, now we just accept anyone which is why a lot of our members are brains dead retards (yes I'm admitting it  :P)

However with regards to Krems in okam I can give my word, in fact us Krems leaders were just talking about it last night, that we will not be accepting just random trolls into our clan. We will have a proper recruitment process were recruits will have to prove themselves first. We will still be fun, but in a cool way that hopefully everyone can enjoy.

As for crpg, I dunno, I don't think there is anything me or anyone else can do now that's gonna help it.

Can't even remember how their clan was originally named. Farmers something? Phil, Dan, Berenger, Tomas. Pretty much second trollish clan after LLJK (Goons). Later took serious theme (Chavland) and after that turned into ING.

Edit. Found it: Annoying Bandits. Dunno why farmers came to my mind.

As I said before, I do not include every member of Krems in the following. Some of them are genuinely nice and respectful.

Your point is what? That Krems killed this mod? That all our players are useless pricks? Or that you and all these other anti Krems guys do nothing except cry and moan?

My point that you have just proven once again. That Krems take pride in their toxic behavior and ridicule anyone that does not get joy out of it.

Did any anti Krems players actually try anything creative to combat Krems? No.

So in order to stop someone's shitty behavior one needs to come up with something equally annoying? What kind of logic is that?

Did any anti Krems players ask to speak properly (without abuse) with any leaders of Krems to discuss their concerns? No.

Multiple times have I told people ingame (Both leader and member) that the trolling is harming the team and they should keep it to a minimum.
It basically almost never had any effect.

Did any anti Krems players just come to forum to create multiple posts/threads insulting, attacking and spreading vile hate on Krems? Fuck Yea!

Did any of you actually take any kind request to stop trolling to heart? No.
Do not expect any kind of respect of people you do not respect yourself.

We have been called the worst names imaginable, been compared to cancer and all sorts of shit (Even guys came onto our own thread to spread hate, not to mention this very thread, a completely unrelated goodbye thread hijacked by anti Krems guys to bash Krems wtf) So tell me why the hell should we have any empathy for you guys or be bothered that you had to stop playing or you are upset, when for the last 3 years all most of you guys have done is throw shit on us?

I can only speak for myself, but as I said before, I have asked countless times to refrain from trolling. I was lucky to get a response at all, though regularly that response was the trolling getting worse.
At some point I stopped asking and started telling them to stop trolling. Also little to no reaction.
So now you pretentious piece of shit are trying to tell me that I showed no respect whatsoever, so I do not deserve any myself?
Grow the fuck up and stop generalising.
There are many people who did ask, even said the word "please". But even to you it must be obvious that the trolling never stopped. Not even on low population.

Oh great, just when this thread was taking a positive turn and  me and Leshma were taking a lovely pleasant stroll down memory lane you have to come and ruin it.   :mrgreen:

I only skimmed your post, after I got bored after about 3 words but I saw enough cusses and insults that I'm not even going to bother debating with you, what's wrong can't get your point across without them? Pathetic.

You just carry on what you're doing, you aren't going to achieve anything, I'm certainly not going to achieve anything debating with you for another year or two.

If the years have proven anything it is that kind words lead to absolutely no avail.
So blame yourself and your persistent behavior instead of people who throw all sorts of insults among other things towards you now.

So continue living in your delusional world. Where the world revolves around you.

It was never going to make any difference. If talking had any input on what they did it would have stopped ages ago.

We will have a proper recruitment process were recruits will have to prove themselves first. We will still be fun, but in a cool way that hopefully everyone can enjoy.

OKAM give us a chance to start off fresh and we'll take "back to the roots" approach. No more Krems being synonymous only with trolling. We want to keep both fine trolling and fighting balanced so everyone can be satisfied, just like it was before our clan became big.

As for cRPG I don't think there is will, time or necessity to repair this cuz mod iz ded. You can partly blame us ( leaders ) for accepting everyone and not doing a thing, but it's not like we must hold every member hand and remind them what they should and shouldn't do. Smaller or bigger, they've brains after all.

There is almost none of leaders or old players left to do proper admining, so most what you're dealing with are no-name trolls made under Krems banner, not really our worthy successors  :D

Switch, the thing that saddens me is that you never had any complaints when I played around but you still hold a grudge against Krems as whole clan. I guess you really don't mind most of our oldmy old friends.

I can only hope that Krems, thanks to proper leadership, will change attitude towards clan and it will become what we aim for - fun, relaxed community with both fine fighting and trolling skills.

QGT,
Krave

Personaly I almost never suffered from the trolling of the Krems clan. Maybe I wasnt active enough, so I couldnt see how far and how consistently annoying they were?
The times when I've seen them delay/bro-code (which are the 2 major problems), they didnt do it rounds after arounds, maps after maps, days on ends.

I think that gentle trolling from time to time has a place in any game, and can actually be funny for most of the persons involved. The problem is to know where to draw the line, and if on OKAM the Krems are re-created (rip ING) and they draw the line further away from hardcore trolling, it will be a good thing for all.


Lets have fun all together on OKAM, cRPG community!

To tell you frankly, I hope Micah and Shanks will resurrect SoA instead of going Krems "one clan, million members" route. It would be better for the game and for them. You can always create Krems Alliance which will consist of smaller clans. But would definitely prefer to see some old clans rather than what cRPG turned into during last four years of its existence aka trifecta of clans on EU1. Mercs, Nerdmen/Byzantium and Krems should go back to their roots, become more intimate and manageable clans. They grew mostly because game mechanics forced them to.

Yep 100% agree, when all those big clans merged it kind of took a.lot of the individuality out of the mod. I hope too that SoA come back, what a great clan. Of course I'd love to see some sort of ENG/ING clan return too, just please not OINK!!!!  :mrgreen:

People just blame Krems, but think banner balance is what drove casuals away. At one period, as witnessed by 24/7 Leshma it was like this:
- morning, to mid noon: merc win all the time; no merc banner no fun
- late afternoon to 1:00 am: nerdmen do the same; no nerd banner no fun
- night time aka krems time: less serious gameplay or fooling around; attempt at serious playing resulting in frustration and gangbang by both teams. Was victim of this many times, during three periods when different clans reigned the servers, and yes krems did it too, so much for innocent for fun clan ;)

These actions were supported by admins, who were members of above mentioned clans and who deliberately, in drunken state grieved less fortunate, clanless folks. When confronted, it was typical mob mentality.

That eventually drove away many of clanless, one-off, less serious players away. At one point I think there was over 3000 semi active players (definition of active player was Leshma). Many of them weren't in clans or were in smaller clans which were getting abused by monstrously big mergers of clans, purely driven by keeping multi intact.

Most admins are guilty. One of the few who actually said, fuck it, this ain't right was Lansamur who at few occasions disrupted abuse of majority clannies over few unfortunate souls who wanted to play some quality game at their free time. He did that against all three major factions, ballsy move at that time.

I was always lone wolf so I know how it was playing against bunch of hyenas tagging along.

It is easiest to blame Krems, but every major clan takes huge chunk of guilt why this mod perished. Among other factors like old age and original devs stepping back from active development.

Without banner balance, the clan-oriented people were being driven away for the same reasons.
Banner balance is a feature that pleased them, displeased others; thats often what game features does, cant please everyone.

To say that "admins" being in some of the most popular clans are guilty of a game feature is all kind of stupid  :P
There was tons and tons of clans that rivaled with each others, it was actually one of the major reasons to play the game for a time: to have a clan that can dominate.


I was in a clan that wasnt able to dominate, but we had some good times. We were middle tier in that aspect.
When I couldnt have multi for a long time, it was as much because of randomness that because of banner balance (that was also semi-random). Not to forget there was the valor to aim for.

I think banner balance was a great idea, it simply suffered when the community dwindled and big clans appeared. And at that moment there was not 3000 active players...  :lol:

It was banner balance, lack of patching, bad maps, Krems and broken launcher.

I also kinda feel like balance based on class type would've been a good idea.

I think you are missing the main reason, the game is 6 fucking years old! To play the same game, same maps, same players, same style, same game objectives, same everything for that length of time without getting bored in the end is pretty much impossible for most people.

Tell that to World of Warcraft, Counter-Strike, TF2, Call of Duty, FIFA and all the other sports games, Battlefield 3 is 5 years old and basically the same as BF4, AOE2 still gets thousands of players a day as does Warband itself. Napoleonic Wars still has plenty of players, Mercenaries does as well.

I don't think age is so much of an issue here as changes making people leave and stopping new people from playing.

Sorry man that's a complete rubbish statement.

A lot of those games listed are series where they are updated every year or so. Example: I'm pretty sure no one is still playing FIFA11 (released the same year as cRPG) anymore but loads are playing FIFA16 (Released this year) Also they are all mainstream games with a super large player base with hundreds of thousands of players to start with, if they lose 5000 players it will hardly be noticed, cRPG only had a couple of thousand max to start with.

As for Napoleonic Wars, well that was a complete different era than the original Warband and released a year and half after cRPG, see how many players it still has in a year and halfs time.

As for Mercenaries, I think its just a phase. cRPG has always been bigger and Mercenaries is just having a boom, there is nothing to suggest it will remain like that for a long period of time.

Take a look through this list and let me know out of all these games how many are still popular (or better still have really popular mods today)

http://www.allpcgame.net/2010/01/list-of-all-pc-games-released-in-2010.html

I'm pretty sure it will only be a very small fraction. I wonder if Krems killed all of those too?  :mrgreen:


Title: Re: Goodbye my friends
Post by: Mr_Oujamaflip on June 17, 2016, 04:51:39 pm
Then that was a problem. I've mentioned a lack of patching, maybe lack was the wrong word and the wrong focus within the patching was?

Do something drastic. Remove XP, make gold gained by kills, make respecs cost money, make everyone a set level regardless. Only thing that differentiates older players and newer players are looms.

So what if they're big games? Look at The Divison, it's had a 93% player dropoff since release. Yeah CRPG had less to start with but you've got to sustain it in some way, that's how Counter Strike is basically the same game as it was in 2000, same with COD back in 2007. They've had revisions and whatever, so has CRPG, changing to ticks, the high level patch.

Warband has 7000 people on right now. Why is it CRPG is getting less than 1% of this when 3 years ago it was the most popular mod around?

And as I've said. Remove the grind.

I didn't say Krems killed the mod but there was a time when they killed it for me. I barely played it for 4 months or so because every time I joined they were fucking about. It's not so bad at the moment as I've said but they stopped me from playing for a time, that's for sure and I highly doubt I was the only one.

It played a part but definitely was not the only factor.

Yea, but the Krems thing was only an issue because of all the previous issues that preceded it. I mean if you logged in back in 2011, when everything was nicely balanced, there were 120 people in the server, 3-4 admins on changing to good maps and everyone was having fun, i'm guessing a few Krems guys messing around wouldn't have bothered you in the slightest.

But because for the last year cRPG has been pretty broken, Krems is just like the Straw that broke the camels (your) back.  :P

We don't know that. For the record, servers were full before banner balance was implemented.

That is true. But ambition turned into cancer, that ate this mod alive. Strategus was meant to be playground for clans. Sadly, some clans couldn't keep with Russian dominance in Strategus, so they changed their goals to making pub life miserable. They know who they are, and nope, Krems are not among them.

I strongly believe that Krems was meant to be an antidote against huge clans mergers and give casuals a chance to fight them.

That's funny, because I'm saying how this game/mod is old since 2012 :lol: Probably around that time used 'mod ez ded' for the first time and wasn't among first people to do that. Melee Battlegrounds dates from same year (2012).

Solely and exclusively Krems, clearly.



Like 2 months until OKAM Early Access, and hopefully Early Access/Beta of Bannerlord this Autumn/Fall/whatever. Was going to play the other night, but saw the character I wanted to play had recently retired. Why the fuck would I want to grind in a game like this when games like OKAM and Bannerlord are so close?
