TLDR: old crpg was far better. bring back old crpg, and you'll bring back old crpg players. but its not gonna happen. sad, cuz this could go on and on for a long long time, all those str whores saying m0d is ded back in 2013...that version of crpg could have lasted a long time...current crpg ( wpf, high levels, bad animations, bad balance ) is dying the way it was expected to ( hint hint )
honestly...ive played my fucking face off of this game for 2 yrs...im not even close to having my fill of it...and yet im bored of it. old school crpg, with old wpf, and old levels AND NO MULTI systems...goddamn, id play that shit for life.
Warband is my game, it was made for me, but grew bland, so i came to crpg.
i get that str was op and needed to be dealt with, but it did destroy an entire class, and currently, high lvl patch+wpf patch = very little variety. no real reason to go over 24 str, and very VERY few people anymore go under 18 agi.
crpg has become bland and boring, ...for NA anyway. EU still feels diverse ( there i said it, ya happy gravoth? ) but NA is a dead spam fest tbh.
honestly...if native had strat \ customization...id never come here. and if WOTR didnt die, i would still be playing that.
WOTR was great, i grew bored of native and needed something to fill the whole...Chivarly didnt do it, was a joke, people running around just spamming. so when WotR came out i was blown away, lots of people in heavy armor, it looked and felt like a medieval game.
what happened? trolls. they bitched too much over ridiculous things, WOTR was meant to be a high armor melee game with a HUGE emphasis on timing and precision, over spamming.
trolls bitched about plate ( which is retarded, it was a time period when plate was plentiful ) slowly the game started to die
it went from a amazing medieval game, to your typical north american attempt at a melee game...you know, everyone running around at high speeds in light armor spamming \ running away from every good fight...the poor people in their nerfed expensive plate couldnt compete anymore, they couldnt spam, and they couldnt chase, they started quitting en mass.
if you log on today, WOTR does not resemble a medieval game, most players are not medieval players, but trolls running around with AUTO-bows and spamming peasant pitchforks ( not an exaggeration )
i will still play CRPG, but it did die thee exact way that Wotr did. too many trolls, too few actual players, too much spamming, too much running, too much delaying, not nearly enough medieval combat.
and when i log onto crpg, it doesnt feel like im logging onto a medieval game anymore...it WAS a great medieval atmosphere...now it has the same atmosphere wotr does...no more knights, just a bunch of trolls, mostly in cloth, running around like Usain Bolt, ganking people, and running away from every non-duel fight.
