Ragequit!????

[Gawyn_Trakkand]

Ok guys this is my taking a break thread.... If you see me on in the WZ activly fighting chances are it isnt me. Like Znurre i'm taking a break until gameplay improves i was holding out see what the new graphics update would look like but to be honest i dont want to hold out that long.

On a side note i put in a poll to ask how many times a day people ragequit the game?

by rage quit i mean fed up of grinding fed up of being farmed fed up of farming pissed off at any aspect off the gameplay.

[Klutu]

Omg! lol

when i log on barb these days it's like trying to talk a guy from jumping off a building, the slightest thing will set me off normally a resist/evade streak or syrtis zerging

my lvl 33 hunter is more playable then a lvl 50 barb that speaks for the current balance :P

when grinding i ragequit cause it's tedious and boring :p

when questing in Alsius i ragequit from lvl 21-28 Gokstad to mont to birka to hopstad quests... FUUUUUUU!!!!!! xD

[JzJ75]

I normal don't RageQuit. but lately I have done it more offten.
mostly due to class balance, and (Just want to let everyone know I love you all.) but the people are starting to get to me. Not just the other realms at battles, but my own realm. I won't go in to why. But it has forced me to ragequit more offten.

[Llayne]

To Syrtis:

Zerging a fort with 30 people everyday makes a lot of people simply not want to play during that time as it is rather miserable being farmed by crazy numbers. Maybe you don't care, I dunno. Is it really fun for you though to do that?

On topic: I've never ragequit but if ever there was a reason to it would be syrtis making a miserable game environment for the other two realms during their daily zerg fests. Why don't you at least invade or something with those numbers?

Oh, right... you suck.

[Angel_de_Combate]

Nice thread hun btw. :)

After trying all the realms in Horus now..I've finally found the best on imo(no offence to people ive met and stayed friends with in the other realms), which is Alsius of course and the realm that reminds me most of Ra. However there is a certain downside to being in this realm, the lack of balance is a huge problem but our tenacity as a realm and just how well we fight when we put our heads together is truly awesome. Guys you rock! :D

After playing Syrtis, some people there...do hate the farming side of the realm, who do go..'i'm off to grind instead', but unfortunately(as we see everyday)there are still those who do enjoy being able to hold fort with twice the numbers they actually need. Having a force like this it doesn't exactly require any great skill...zerg...run back to fort....zerg...

Ive not rage quit, but ive found it incredibly hard not too i can tell you.
Before any of syrtis reply to mine or kaliek's thread with flames of 'stop complaining..' or 'its not our fault'..dont...cos its bollocks..you have a choice whether you take a fort with those numbers...with those numbers half could go to a fort in Ignis and half come to Alsius. Yes NGD should address the balance issues but other than
1. Booting out 1/3 of the fort zerg we get(invasion i dont mind so much..its an invasion your meant to have a big ass force)
2. Finding more players for the other realms...oh wait this last one the developers can fix...remember those two words were promised months ago.... Character Transfers.

After playing over 2 years...people i'm bored...no new content...promises not delivered... same shitty repeated events...pm's and emails not answered by ngd when you repeatedly ask for help, messing with a combat system which I personally thought was better for archers, all this just makes me sad and slightly angry. I love this community damn it...the people, the GM's and Dev's are brilliant awesome even, but seriously for this game to go forward...you need to listen to us 'older' players before its too late...

[Kittypretty]

I actually don't in fights.

most of the times i been killed i just shrug it off, simply because it was funny anyways.

last time i was killed at a save by some camper while i was trading..that was nice for a laugh but i guess they needed the rp.

i dont farm, actually im rarely IN the wz because its either dead, or constant farm or farmed.

if syrtis farms then i grind,

if syrtis has no zerg they give up, and spam rlm and cuss or flirt with the 1-50 ratio of guys to girls, till said attacker leaves fort or they get a big enough zerg.

common p[hrases heard on syrtis

whens eve/vesper on?
"insert name here" is a cheater/noob because he hacks or uses "insert skill here" (5)

wheres our zerg?

farm at trell/agg

dancing at cs

or flirting as usual..or spamming nonsenical things like youd find in some pokemon rpg room.

so i sometimes rage quit cuz of the annoying crap maybe.

i want transfers more than ever, to RA again though, or maybe its time for a new game...i just find myself having to find reasons to log on day to day now...and it shouldnt be that way.

[Neliel_]

I ragequit almost daily for the following reasons:

- Hippies waiting for Tenax or Daen (when they're syrtis or alsius waiting to ambush them at Daen, i never say it to my realm "allies", so they get a good lesson, a big thanks to Alenox especially, nice job last time, some people even called names :) ).

- Most members of a certain Ignis/Ra clan who should read Mario of Persia's signature (for people who want to know: "Being in the ranking is easier than getting respect from other players")

- When there are no fort wars, something unthinkable before 2008 :rale:

[theotherhiveking]

When i log in usually it takes me between 20 minutes and a hour (if dont go to fight) to ragequit, i dont log after that for maybe two weeks or a month, Because i know its still as broken as is was the last day.

[UmarilsStillHere]

Ragequit, not so often unless I get a extended period of 'zomg why do they resisteth all of mine spells, even the friggen pets >.<'

More often just boredquit, farming with Syrtis at samal/aggers is fun for all of 60 seconds if im lucky, then I realise we are just steamrollering them and half their army is just standing around the save, a quarter is camping a bridge and the rest are walking/clapping/dancing their way into the zerg meatgrinder.

No, and for the vast majority, I can't understand why people do it (even though I know sometimes I'm guilty of it myself), although when it's a real farm, people do tend to start saying "this is boring, lets go somewhere else", but people don't always listen.

I mean, yesterday we held aggers for about 4-5 hours, and eventually, it turned into a farm (it was a good war to start with), so we moved to samal.... which quickly turned into a farm too, so I got bored after a while, and ran to the save to suicide, and just started grinding.

Suddenly I see why so many players are leaving syrtis for other realms.... :huh:

Might've been better if half the group had gone each way, I guess... but everyone just wants to get away from the boring bit, which makes somewhere else boring too.
Why don't you at least invade or something with those numbers? Because then you'd complain about syrtis always invading :sleep_1:

Quoted for truth :thumb_up:

[NotScias]

I rarely ragequit but if I do it's not because of the game in itself but more because of the people/zerg (Syrtis)...
Sometimes some people pisses me off (eg : zerging trelleborg or empty forts every possible time, listening to noob generals, doing stupid actions, waiting for bosses instead of cleaning our WZ, 15+ people afking at cs, etc...) but it justs get me more angry against them, but instead of ragequitting, I just reskill as warju for some days/weeks, and occasionally when there's no decent fort wars, I turn off realm chat tab and go hunt alone in Ignis WZ. And if there's a decent fort war (eg: not trelleborg), I come with my warju setup and just target enemies without caring of my allies, and this much more fun for me than trying to support a brainless zerg.
I think that if I couldn't do this I'd ragequit almost everyday, but I think I really ragequitted maybe 5 times since I'm playing ?

I'm not as old player than most here, so I'm still very indulgent to NGD because they are a very small team, that developing a game using its own 3D engine working both on Linux/Windows with so few people and listening to all the persons in a quite big community must be really a very very hard work even if sometimes I don't understand some NGD priorities and decisions, I think they are doing their possible, and that they are really kind enough to let this game free to play, and that they try to keep the balance beetween Xim/free users.
Remember that this game is free, that they don't have the same ressources as the big MMORPG companies.
So that's why I'm not ragequitting because of the game on itself, and anyways I'm only playing the mage class, probably the easiest one. I played barb for a while, leveled it to lvl 35 and just abandoned it because really it was too hard to grind/play compared to mages.

But that's true... This game is getting boring. Same WZ, same people, same actions, same forts, it's almost like a routine now : 12h-18h : boredom, 18h-20h : Trelle farming, 20h-01h : Aggers/Samal farming, 01h-07h : Ignis farming Syrtis and trying to invade, well, there's no surprise anymore. Now the only really fun thing for me are bridge fights, open fields and solo hunting.
The gameplay is getting worse each update, there's prehistorical bugs still not fixed, 50% of the spells are just useless crap, grinding is a pain, but I'm still hoping for NGD to fix this... but maybe one day I will start to ragequit because of the crappy gameplay...

My 2 cents

[WhateverUSMC]

I used to ragequit a lot, but nowadays I just log off because I have other things to do.

Things I've logged off over include, but are not limited to;

- The farming at Samal. I usually log out after my 10th or so death.

- Empty Meni gets taken, we take it back, go do something else, and Meni gets taken again within 2 minutes. Rinse and repeat.

- When we are being zerged somewhere, Tenax respawns, and suddenly, a shit ton of people log on screaming, 'Tenax Time!'. Then he dies, they log off, and our fort is still in enemy hands.

- DB logging on.

- The Home Shopping Network (aka Realm Chat).

- Invasions where no one listens, and attack the enemy gate like the Helen Keller Battalion.

Thats all I can think of atm.

[Arkenion]

I voted 1-2, it is exactly my situation. I ragequit regularly when I lose to a warlock who resists meteor and terrors me, stuff like that.

Just now I was in a Herbred fight: I cast meteor on warlock I, he resists and casts sultar.
I stand up, cast silence on warlock II, he resists and casts terror too.

I ragequit \o/ Well it's not like I throw the keyboard away or anything, not rage like that, I just get pissed and do smth else and usually i whine a bit on irc

[Angel_de_Combate]

...- The Home Shopping Network (aka Realm Chat).


God this made me laugh :)

@arky: your so chill xD

[Gytha_Ogg]

I don't ragequit, but I sometimes ragegrind, if I'm at a farm-fest, and it doesn't look like more of our guys will show up, or any of theirs will go away.


No, and for the vast majority, I can't understand why people do it (even though I know sometimes I'm guilty of it myself),


Lol, join the club. Romans 7:15: "For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate."


I mean, yesterday we held aggers for about 4-5 hours, and eventually, it turned into a farm (it was a good war to start with), so we moved to samal.... which quickly turned into a farm too

...

Might've been better if half the group had gone each way, I guess... but everyone just wants to get away from the boring bit, which makes somewhere else boring too.

Did anyone say "If some go and some stay, we might have two good fights instead of zero?" I know, leading RO player is like herding cats.

Suddenly I see why so many players are leaving syrtis for other realms.... :huh:

A practice which should be strongly encouraged! :clapclap:

[bois]

I don't rage quit. I rather enjoy grinding as I use it to take the edge off my day.

In war I tend to utter a one liner statement of distaste in iggy chat then continue as normal. This is rather rare though.

[veluchami]

The only thing that frustrates me to the point of rage quitting is the rage quitting itself. Rage quitting is a wrong thing to do in so many levels. Not so much the zerging at samal or the broken marks game play or the phantom swings or the hunter menace (And Its been a long time since I did any serious grinding).

In case of a Syrtis zerg, I do get frustrated and log off if have something else to do. But if not i dont rage quit. I stand at the save watching out for some new improvements to the situation(zerg becoming too overconfident running out, zerg thinning out of boredom, more of ur own logging in). Ask people to avoid giving them a fight. Or go defend shaana. (which is useless because ofc the zerg doesnt want to invade, they just want to farm)
Ragequitting doesnt help anyone. Rage quitting reduces your realm strength. Rage quitting just neutralizes the number of players that newly log on and keeps the number of your players stagnant, whereas the zerg keeps growing. In a sense, rage quitting is one of the reasons for the zerg to be successful. You sulk, some rage quit, some go to shaan, some go grind, some go camp pb, some go hunt in alsius. You are dividing your own army which is not a great tactic to deal with a zerg. Attack the root cause. If you are frustrated by the syrtis zerg here are some things to do,
1) Stand at save in solidarity with your realm. Encourage other players to stop rushing into the zerg. Deny the zerg a single undeserved RP.
2) Go defend your castle. More often than not, the zerg will get crushed at a lvl 4 moderately defended castle.
3) If that fails, go defend your gate. Mobilize all your forces defend your realm. You have even better chances of defending a gate rather than defending a castle or worse still, retaking a zerged fort. Most grinders would turn up for a gate defending. It has a sense of purpose rather than mindlessly rushing into the zerg.

I dont mind fighitng against the odds. But I do mind fighting against the zerg when I know they dont want to invade. They are just there for rp farming. So if i dont try to get the fort back nothing is gonna happen. So people please dont rage quit but do something constructive.

(yes...I actually photoshopped this awhile ago....)

This mostly happens while on my barb as well. The amount of difference in fun and playability with other classes is astounding. The gaping whole in class (and realm) balance has been around ever since I started playing back in April of 2009.

Every so often a tiny aspect of this imbalance is "addressed" with nerfs here or there, but the issue as a whole consistently gets pushed to the back-burner and still, as of yet has had any solid progress.

I must admit, the new engine has seen a better improvement in positioning, however phantom swings are still REALLY annoying as well.

Warriors are definitely the most frustrating to play, barbs being moreso than knights (though I believe functionally both sub-classes to be broken).

Marksman, to a slightly lesser degree, need some tweaking to be made better (at least as far as grinding is concerned. Grinding a marksman is more mind-numbing and spirit-crushing than grinding a knight).


Anyway, that's my $.02

[MalaTempora]

nice thread,
i'm used to being massacred / ganked / killed in any strange way during grind
and definitely usually i don't ragequit, also i dont like to grind in safe zone
(i usually do it in wz, prefere so, probably cause i'm sadomaso seen the large
number of hunters wandering in ignis wz searchin for easy rp)

but the things that i totally avoid are:
- being farmed, in any ways when i see a fort with inside a number 3 or > of
the attacker i simply tell that is farming, and move away, hate the stupidity
of it, it's meaningless and ,let me tell to farmers, it's skillLESS, so you are
not good in play.. you just are good in numbers.. like ants..

- Farming, when i see that our force are farming (being an ignis in horus this
case is rare :D but sometimes happen) i dislike it, saying it in general ("farming is boring") and usually many comrades agree and we move to
another fight, usually ending our run in some strange death or fort fight
again... it's nice that usually comrades agree that farming is boring, but
sometime happen that for some of them farming is fun (!? are they syrtis
in camoed dress??) so i simply go suicide myself at enemy spawn pillar...
so i can move away..

- grinding for long time... usually this will totally shutdown my mind...

[Silent_Shadow]

I know, leading RO player is like herding cats.:

So true xD

I rarely ragequit because I love warring and I find it fun to fight against others, even when I lose. I hate grinding, but if I get tired of it I do something else. The commentary on rc reminds me of a bad reality tv show sometimes, but I just find it so funny usually, so the people don't usually make me ragequit.
I sometimes war for a half hour or more at one spot, but then it becomes a rp farm with no actual fight, just a zerg, so I start feeling bad for the other realm. Then I die on purpose, afk at cs or go hunting in the realm where there isn't a rp farm. Now if someone is farming my realm in one of our forts, I try to get them out and after a while, I afk at cs or go hunting.
My daily RO life rarely changes...

i was about to mention all the things i ragequit over (only happens a handfull of times) but you pretty much summed it up, and in a much more hilarious way than i could have

If I understand that as a lvl 3 or higher fort, then most of the players who upgrade are low levels anyway, because they think they're helping... says nothing about the rest of the group, although recently they get in trouble for it :P
If you meant something else.... ignore that

Oh so true.... xD

[Anpu]

I dont have time for ragequitting.

Cya Gawyn. :)

[Syd_Vicious]

So 85% of the ppl who voted are human and 8 ppl are pod ppl :cuac:
or are like frosty the snowman and everytime they play the game its like putting on that top hat again saying :happybday:

[LuthienNenharma]

I felt this when I was leveling in the warzone from time to time. Too many hunting partys :> but this is the game!

But I am not the rage gal and lag or something else made me wanna think of leving the game.

Anyway here is a funny story I like a lot.
A mate of mine in WOW always turns off the sound and screen when he died in a boss fight which is about to end. I like this one :)

[Malik2]

I never rage quit. I do get frustrated about several things.

Realm chat has become the home shopping network. And the realm has been invaded by evil clones of Monte Hall.

The dusche bags dancing at CS. I sometimes enrage a mob to kill them, but others always seem to kill it before it does anything.

Over and over again Syrtis exhibis a total lack of tacitcs. That is the strange thing about the realm. Ignis holds Stone for hours at a time in the evening. And sytis does the same thing over and over again, failing and getting farmed. Some of us are in general saying things like stay back and lets pull them away from the wall. Does anyoen have stalker. It does nothing, like talking to wooden posts. Then the 20 ignis run out and kill us all.

I am torn in those situations, if I grind I am leaving my realm mates (those wooden posts who don't listen to anyone and rely only on numbers to win) in a jam. If I stay I give up free rp to ignis. It is a conundrum.

Anyway, Regnum is like any other game. One day it will grow boring for me. When that day comes I will do something else, perhaps something productive with my life, save a drowing child, write a great novel, or learning to play the triangle in a godlike and seductive way. Maybe I will excercise. Who knows, the world is a big place and regnum is part of it, but really not that big a part.

what i said is fighting a zerg (usually syrtis) with an odd of 3 to 1 or major, this
is hopeless, funless, skill-less and usually boring, and what i have to remember
is that is much more easy to gain rp than respect from ally and enemy (i find
this sentence really true, but this wont mean that i'd gain respect :-D )

[Heru]

i enjoy the game most of the time.

but sometime i ragequit after a (Crash > Die > Respawn) ^^
