i am leaving (to devs)

[gazda]

The mod is dying.

Development of this mod is going way too slow. Combine that with the fact that most of the devs are just plain idiots and you got a dying mod.

From patch to patch you keep "balancing" items, you take a 42cut damage sword and turn it to 43, woohoo go devs, you sure did make a nice job. It is just pointless. Keep the things like they are now. You could have kept them as they were in .200, .220, .230, .240, it doesnt matter, it would be same shit. Changing it constantly is pointless. No matter what you do, things are gonna be the same, your whole balancing progress is just a nerf after nerf, bringing down the fun. Cavalry will always be over powered, archers will always be annoying, ALWAYS. And how about xbows, only item that was always been truly overpowered without any logic in it, avoids nerfeing for ages. Dev like xbow, dev no nerf it huur duur.

You are just developing too slow, it took you 6 months just to reboot old strategus?! All hopes for saviour of this mod lay in 1.grinding mentality of players(for which you dont have to do anything, you just have to watch and do nothing, and from what i see your doing a good job. 2. strategus, and what is strategus, its everything but a interesting and fun persistent campaign. It should have been cool inovative and fun when you put it on paper, but when you do it, it doesnt even get near that. Its just a plain map with tons of clans hybernating for some time, and when everyone has accumulated some troops they capture ai villages, towns and castle and then its done. You are looking at the map with differently coloured squares. Wheres the fun in strategus? Being a big clan and grinding more troops then all other small clans would do together and knowing noone can beat you? is that fun? or being a small clan and not having chances against any bigger clan? o boy that sure is fun. Only good part of strategus are actuall battles, we remember them as a place where you could do some serious teamwork and have fun.

Strategus is idea that cant be done properly, at least not for a free mod of a not so famous game. It just doesnt work. As long as you have grinding, you will have players, but we all know its just sad.

Best thing for Warband communty would be destruction of crpg. And forcing grinders to play other, way better mods then this.

Strange...

Numbers seem to be high, compared to when I first started... Still lotsa players.

I keep seeing old faces drift away, but that is normal for not many people stick with something forever, and I keep seeing young faces break into glory and become regulars...

I think you are just personally nearing your "I'm done with this mod" as most people will eventually, whether it takes months or years, almost everyone hits that.

[Bjord]

I'm flattered. You're of course referring to my absence, yes that would indeed seem like the death of any game/mod... When such a great player like me leaves or is unable to play it can become stale and hopeless. Fully understandable.

However, do not relent! I will be back! Heed my words, the returning of mine will be compared to Lord Jesus Christ's himself.

[chadz]

I'm not sure what this is about... I mean I was expecting some kind of "do this or that (and buff me) so the mod stays alive!" like all the other ranters. How about we let everyone decide for themselves if the At fifteen, I had the will to  learn ; at thirty, I could stand ; at forty, I had no  doubts ; at fifty, I understood the heavenly Bidding ;  at sixty, my ears were opened ; at seventy, I could  do as my heart lusted without trespassing from the  square.. It's not for me, it's not for others, if it's for you, that's sad, but you are in the minority. Good luck in finding a multimillion dollar corporation suiting your needs better.

In other words: the At fifteen, I had the will to  learn ; at thirty, I could stand ; at forty, I had no  doubts ; at fifty, I understood the heavenly Bidding ;  at sixty, my ears were opened ; at seventy, I could  do as my heart lusted without trespassing from the  square. when all of the 6000 (edit: 7025, i had to check so I don't release false info ), active players per week stop playing. Until then, it's alive for those, as well as me, and the other devs.

Duh.

7000? I remember some time ago, on another thread about this topic, the number was 3000. c-rpg is steadily growing!

[chadz]

it's around 3000 to 3500 per day. Not everyone plays every day. 7000 is per week.

[MrShovelFace]

bah wasnt too long ago is was only around 700

there used to only be 30 NA players on at any given time

[Oberyn]

This mod and Warband in general is only going to truly die once the new gen games of the same type come out, War of the Roses and that other one who's name I always forget.

[Tears of Destiny]

Due to the unique nature of the gameplay (no, war of the roses is not the same) I think it will always live on like the TW series does.

www.twcenter.net is a perfect example of how old games can still be Juggernauts. The mod forum sub-sections alone are huge.

[Leshma]

Actually, I don't recall they made so many changes in such a short time since I'm playing this mod (early november/late october 2010.)

That was a much better time.

Bring back the old xp/gold system! Bring back OP armour! Bring back old cRPG!!!!

[Tears of Destiny]

So bring back the crap that made the mod start to die, and take away the stuff that allowed it to grow?

I say throw out the old players that want the dying mod back, and bring in more new players that want the new growing mod.

I don't want to see barmaces on horseback again, nor laser sighted ballistic missile archers, nor that throwing spam from hell ever again.
