The downgrade of my character

Hi there,

I haven't been connected to CRPG website for a few monthes.

Today, I wanted to play again, and even to try Strategus.
My first impression was to note a great improvement in the website design : congratulations !

However, I was upset to see that my character lost some levels and some equipements :(
It seems also that Strategus is down.

=> Did I miss many things in the past monthes ???

Yes, there's been a lot of changes like the blue slot system, new xp gain system. You probably should see the different patch threads to fresh up on all the new stuff.

And about the missing items. Some items were taken away from the game. Dunno about the lost levels.

Also welcome back!
This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

The missing level comes from the jannuary patch, xp had been recalculated, there is a soft cap at lvl30 and hard cap at 35 (so make a build for lvl 30).
Also there is now a upkeep system, start to play with low gear to see how it work (otherwise you will lose lot of money).
There is now a system that allow you to jump directly to level30, but this means that you must delete all your alt and have only one char.

Check the "announcement" in the forum for more info.

You forgot to say that a "Skip the fun" character also can't level up and retire, he stays at level 30 forever.

There's a hard cap at 35?  Sigh.  So there's very little point in not doing "Skip the Fun" and going straight to 30?

Sounds like cRPG is slowly evolving.. back into Native. 


But.. okay, okay - I just came back recently after a long absence, and no Strategus at the moment.. so to be fair that's a pretty huge difference.  I remember it being amazing fun in the early days, and I'm pretty sure that it will be even better when it comes back. 

Still, my dreams of reaching level 45.. dashed to bits :(

Sorry to break it to you, but that hasn't been possible for quite a while now, for fairly obvious reasons.
Don't.

But I want to be a horse archer in full plate on a plated charger that shoots perfectly accurate  :cry:

It's been.. quite a long time since I played.  Back in the olden times I think it was possible, indeed.. not really implausible if you planned to play for a while.  But that was back when retirement first came out, and then the bonuses were so huge that almost no one would opt to not do it.

Yeah, that was over half a year ago, quite a lot of things have changed since then. Even with all the rebalancing it's still a far cry from Native, despite what the various doomsayers pining after their OP megabuilds might tell you. :P
Don't.

Has the hardcap been approved anywhere? Dont think so it will just take ages to reach 290.000.000 xp..

Well.. I'm still hoping the powers-that-be will someday focus on the eternally-neglected area of balance accounting for different levels of skill. 

I'm not very good, so I figure I need an extra 10-15 levels to put me on equal footing with more talented players.

We desperately need cRPG-handicap ratings! :P

I don't speak English fluently. Could explain what QQ means ?
By the way, thank you all for your replies. I think I'm going to concentrate on solo native game.
