EU_1 is dying

[Tyr_]

There is little chance of victory and good fights with mass cav and byz + mercs stacking 10 plus players each :-D fighting against a byz mob stacked with long spears brings joy to no one, siege has fewcav and you actually get to fight 1 vs 2, 1 vs 1, 2 vs 3 etc rather than 2 vs 10 :-P. Even eu4 had more than eu1 last night

Its a funny situation imo. GK stay and eu1 and HRE stays on eu2. Mercs and Byz just play on both from time to time, so each server gets stacked heavy by 2 clans.
The Solution would be to introduce Stronghold mode, this fixex all problems. GK can ride their ponys, HRE's can even build their own castle and Byz/Mercs can go on a rape train to take control over resources or kill the poor dummy, so it ands in the clans figthing clans and not slaughtering poor&innocent randomers (or people that get balanced to the fail team)

Give stronghold now!

Less players gives even me a chance to shine, so on one hand yeah, some maps are quite frustrating, on others i am enjoying myself quite well.

well maybe devs should give more exp (like eu5) on battle servers > or change the fighting.systems and mechanic like that to motivate more people ...

What's surprising to me is how come so many people are playing that DTV mode. I guess I can understand why HRE would prefer to fight bots instead of humans, but what's the rest doing there?

On siege for randomer melee character versus clanstack at least you respawn to fight again, on battle die 3 times before getting to melee from ranged/cav mobs, then get to melee get ganked, wait 5 mins to repeat each time. Not terribly exciting really. Even if try to stay with a clan on battle most will suddenly retreat/go one side leaving randomers knackered. Not QQing just saying why I find battle is dull for randomer.

Well i enjoy fighting a merc stacked team, good opposition. Cav on the other hand not so much.

There is not much players these days. Lots of new games are out ... 
I cant remember when eu2 was 80/80 (need to wait to enter) or eu1 over 100/200.

Right now (Saturday Evening):

Ok. not very crowded, but you can still play.
I hope the developers come out with something new that will attract more players.

every day i try to join eu2 its 80/80 O.o


and gravoth sure its fun to have a challange but sometimes they are just blobs and all you can do is backpeddle and block when most of the enemy team is in one blob and yours is all rambo

what if i told you that i am byz and i have moust of the time x1?
Multiplier system is shit and i don't want to play against higher lvl then me ppl.

[Osiris]

that maybe true mlekce but when byz roll eu1 they do it with 10-20 players and if they are good players (which they are) they usually win not always but often

[polkafranzi]

Eu1 yesterday some point looked like this:
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and some dude out of screen are using xbows.

xbowRPG.  imo siege has way more diversity and you can even use cav without it feeling like eu1/strat battles.

[Mlekce]

silly... nothing stop templars from recruiting more players.
You all wanted reward for team play,there you go. You asked for it,you got it. Byzantines are masters of teamplay.
You also wanted to have 2h buff,cav nerf and archery buff,well you got it,now mod is duying i hope you are all happy.

[Araxiel]

Lol at Mlekce.

Anyway, i really miss good old days when we spammed join button to get in to fully crowded eu1 server.

[Osiris]

not saying your doing it wrong if you re read im just saying why people rage quit eu1.

[Cepeshi]

The problem is, in low numbers it is really annoying to see all the ranged/cav spam. If there is 30 ranged from 50 players, not much fun. On huge scale battles (100+ players) this problem gets eliminated. It is still annoying, but not as much.

But as people join battle and see the shituation, they just quit to other mods (dtv, siege), hence the playerpop stays low. It is a wicked circle.


I say we start campaing to repopulate EU1 to its former glory. (also the evening crashes do not help)
