so james has been hosting a couple weekend strat battles that I haven't attended so i don't know how populated they get, but ive noticed that he hasnt been sending messages out during the week evenings about populating NA1 in a couple weeks. i keep messaging him on steam about making announcements on the steam page or giving page admin to someone willing to attempt to send announcements and message people, but he either dismisses it or just ignores me
i dont have alot of crpg players on steam so i cant send messages to everyone asking if they wanna hop on NA1 and get some 5v5s going or something so i was wondering if anyone out there that has lots of crpg players on steam or has admin of the steam page is willing to set up maybe two or three nights a week where they message players about gettings NA1 going?
add me on steam if you want to try and get NA1 populated more often http://steamcommunity.com/id/bensai123/

Hey I have this crazy idea about what could actually revive the mod. This out of left field, but...what about a wipe? I'm a fucking genius, godamn how did no one think of this before, or notice how many times it's been done throughout cRPG's fastly ending lifespan.
-
All they have to do is bring pod back lock characters to a skip the fun with no looms, all at same level, enough points to build fun classes and large wardrobe and you would dig into the native pool. I dont think they want to play w/o their looms
-
We had 43 players on NA 1 on monday. I put out messages but I guess you must have missed them. Will get it going again tomorrow night as well!
-
theres a 5v5 going on now wait nvm its a 10v1 dtv my bad.
-
hey just for consideration, that 43 players the other day started with a few of us NA players getting on the EU DTV server getting it up to 15 and asking the EU people to get on NA battle when more than half of us were NA players. We gotta start somewhere: no sense dissing DTV.......James: a group of us with access in some form to as many players as possible in whatever form possible (steam, discord, teamspeak, whatever) and team conversations with each other to set up and plan out times to send out mass messages for bringing people into battle servers could work well. Point being: Use DTV, its the only thing that gets a low populated server started and cooperate with a coordinated group to use that small population to grow the other servers. A lot less players will join a server population of 10 than will join one of 20, but we gotta be smart and start where we ARE ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED TO RIGHT NOW and then work together to take the next step to grow a server into the 40 we had the other day. It started with like 10 in EU DTV and with the right steps and teamwork, it grew. Great fuckin time btw, was sooooooo happy to see it there!

i have admin on the crpg steam group. if you want announcements posted i can do it for you i think my steam is in my sig or something

Did someone say wipe?? :wink:
I bought a +1 item for 1.2 million gold yesterday, my first loom. Yes this is the current state of the Market (seriously you guys might as well remove the whole marketplace). I'm essentially playing as a new player (although backed by some wealthy clanmates) and i have zero chance to ever be competitive, I can tell you now it's not fun. There is too much of a gap between veterans and shitty noobs like me. No matter how many bumps or pretty screenshots you give the moddb page, no new players are gonna stay until you wipe and level the playing field so they at least have a slight chance to have a fun gaming experience. hi
Plz no ban :wink:

Come on Dan they said a million times that their looms are more important than the mod itself. Just let go fam

People have invested hundreds, even thousands of hours into building up their armories with the expectation that their work would not be wiped. At this point is should be abundantly clear that the best solution here is a partial wipe, that does not completely negate that time spent, yet narrows the gap between older players and new players. This won't happen until at least the start of next year.
-
Thats what I don't get Prof.Sorry but it isn't "abundantly clear". On the contrary even. You either wipe, or don't touch anything. You as the dev team made it clear that no matter how many complaints we make, you aren't wiping it. That sucks, you hope that new people will come and stick around which i strongly believe won't happen. But it's fine. New players aren't attracted? Who cares, I will still play for Strat.
But... A partial wipe? It won't remove the gap between newbs and veterans, narrowing it of course, but it doesn't matter unless you are giving equal chances to everyone. You will take some looms from oldies but it won't effect the mindset of a new player. So unless you are pressing the big red reset button, you shouldn't be touching anything.
-
I wasn't very active when this question was hot so I'm genuinenly asking, if you had a vote and 50% wanted a wipe and 50% didn't, how did you come to the conclusion to make a partial wipe?
-
Partial wipe is a compromise between a wipe and not wiping. Players retain some small portion of the items that they worked for after a period of having nothing. Would ideally give us several months of players competing on a completely level playing field after which veterans could unlock a small amount of their previous items. Thus not completely throwing away their progress from before.
-
Seems a lot of effort on the devs part just to cater for the few people who care about their looms. The sooner you wipe, the sooner people can get new looms. Why not just wipe, then increase the amount of loom points people get after each retirement, say 2 for Gen 1, 3 for Gen 2 and so on. Will be a big incentive not just for veterans but for everyone.
Also we should make a new 'wipe' thread, maybe a new vote even....lets get some new forum badges too, team wipe vs team looms! :P

just come play native battle there are 20 ppl atm
lol Westwood and gandalf there was 50 people on native na battle last night, down vote me more maybe we can get it to 100.
Thats the spirit mofugga :P
There was twice as many on battle than gk tdm which is unusual as it is usually the other way around. Something to do with gk's calradian campaign thing.
This was after the crpg spurt died out.

I am sure you did, probably many times. I never once said I was good at this game.

how are u still shit when u play so often
-
cRPG>Native IMO. The combat on native just feels laggy to me compared to cRPG and hitboxes are worse plus corpses not having any solidity triggers me. However cav is really easy in native so thats always fun for a bit.

oh, right
sorry
-
No, obviously, no.
-
oh, right
sorry
I was just wondering why you downvoted me for suggesting he play native when crpg was dead or all was in dtv. Its not like I was saying he should quit crpg.

Quote from 2012, post recycling:
This is a fucking game, you "earned" nothing but numbers and pixels. If you didn't have any fun doing it and approached it like a second job, that's your fucking problem. The only thing you were offered and deserved was having fun while playing a free mod. All the time you "invested" and "worked" at grinding was "wasted" anyways, because you were using it to play a fucking game.
Any my old friends who whine that their "work" will dissapear are retarded. Fucking loom goblins, fucking MUH PRECIOUS hobbit fucking degens.

OK Assington Alexson finally got back to me so you should have officer rank in the NA cRPG Steamgroup now. That will let you do the same kindof announcements I have been doing. Generally I do them when I am first getting it going and then when population his 10, 20, 30, 40 players etc.
Appreciate you taking an interest to do this. Spreading word about when servers are getting populated is a simple task but an important one!

that's kind of a non argument as in the current state the only people who dont have looms are newbies, and barely any newbies actually exist so we're already all on a level playing field.
But either way my opinion still remains the same, don't really give a shit about whether we have a wipe or not anymore, it might even get me to start grinding again if we had like increased loom gains like zottl said
