Pole is not dead, pole is got, as it always has been  . Honestly I think the introduction of the long pike and the red tassel spear made poles even better.

NOOOO, my entire loadout has been destroyed by the update, and not because of slots. Long hafted spiked mace is now unbalanced and weaker, huscarl shield takes 5 shield skill, and for some reason the new polearm stab animation is buggy.

I miss the hilariously distorted faces that people used to use, they made spectating at the end of the round so much more enjoyable.

General Discussion / Re: Varyag's testimony on the current state of cRPG

« on: April 26, 2011, 06:27:52 am »

Now, I haven't read all of this thread, sorry to those posters who I had to skim over in the sake of time, but as a player who wandered into cRPG in the first week of public beta I too feel that much of the magic has been lost; that magic once upon a time made spending several hours a day on the (then only) EU server with my 280 latency getting horribly slaughtered every round, worth every minute of rage. Like some of the posters before me I remember when I finally bought my full plate set, and that feeling can only be described here as pure childish glee, when I equipped my plate I couldn't wait to run across the server and listen to the blows glance off of me, mowing my merry way through peasants with my glaive. Even during the middle of the beta stages, some 6 months ago (before I took my long needed break) the best sensation was hacking down peasants and fighting Destin or Ash one on one at the end of the round (usually losing cause I'm really terrible ).

But something's changed.
It's not that I don't enjoy cRPG still, I do, but no longer are there masses of peasants slowly grinding their way up until they can begin to fight back. As I type this in between rounds I see more knights in shining armor than I do farmers running and throwing rocks. Even when I have long satisfying duels in the middle of battle it's not the same, before even if I died in one exchange I still felt content, but now even if I hack down an entire team it just feels the same.

I don't know if I've changed in these 6 months, maybe I have. But what I do know is that I just don't feel the same way anymore. I'm sorry, it's not like cRPG has lost all of it's old self, most of it is still there (mainly the archer/horse archer/thrower/nerf <whatever I don't use> hate) but it's just not the same. I guess the spark is gone. But baby I hope we can still be friends, I'm sorry cRPG, it's really not you, it's me.

P.S. I hope most of the older player stay (including myself), I really do.
P.P.S. Varyag you are the sole reason I bought a pike as a peasant.
