Leaving the game

[Pizdzius]

I am sad to write this, but yesterday I tried to play again after a month or more break, hoping I can relax a bit with a friend. The sad thing is, that I find eating broken glass more relaxing than playing a game with such gameplay.

I never understood the leaving threads, why make such a fuss about it? Ironically, now it's my turn, although I am not LEAVING per se. It's not a protest either.
I just have enough, I never EVER played a game with such log, 4 resists in a row, evade fight, every time. There's no point in this. Ragequit is not my style, I just get tired after 1,5 hour of such hopeless grinding.

I won't leave the forums or IRC, you guys know me too well. (I won't stop drawing the comic either) I will play sporadically anyway, for the friends, during events, to check how's it going inside. I just stopped liking this game and find no joy in actual playing.

So don't get this thread in a drama way, don't yell "nooo piz you too?!"
I'm just wondering if those threads actually do mean something to developers. If they do, that's why I'm writing it instead of just quietly not playing.

I never really knew you that well, but it is a shame to have someone who was known so well leave.

This is probably a bad time but, will the comic continue?

[UmarilsStillHere]

Cant blame you, for the casual player the gameplay is a wreck right now.

Hopfully one day NGD will manage to recreate the magic that snared us pre 1.0

It's not a bad time, I don't have depression ;) ofc, I'm not leaving the community, the comic is a part of it

[superdaveninja]

if youre leaving, theres no reason for me to stay either! :O :play_ball::drunk:

[Dupa_z_Zasady]

nooo piz you too?!

BTW what kind of glass do you like?

[Kittypretty]

i too find the reason list for logging in getting shorter n shorter.

my one reason is friends..why i use RO as some secondlife type of game now.

they know resists are impacting the game so badly, yet they have stated theyd rather work on models. i too have never seen a game where the player misses so much..in other rpgs you at least get better at hitting things to put it bluntly..here you feel simply as youre just as inept and blind..but higher level..and the monsters..just bigger versions..

lag is becoming commonplace, at certain periods its just chaos..where is the money people pay them go..where is the work being done to remedy it? where is the even acknowledgement of it?

NGD is never on the forums, not even to give us real details of what they are busy on, or if any of our wish lists/bug reports are listened to, its sad.

im trying out some different games at the moment too, and well i fear once i find one..well its good bye Regnum. sucks because this still has so much potential but fails because none of it is being fixed, just covered up with bandaids (lag errors, fixed by phantom swings?) hmm pets dying while left behind gfaster hunter...well lest make pets FASTER than hunters! great idea)

and so on..

if anyone has a good (FREE) mmorpg that can match this community i'd like to know too.

[sobis]

:confused2:

[Arkenion]

It's not like I hate the resists enough already, no, they even make my friends leave now :(

And I'm close to copying you, too...

[Dannboy]

Another veteran bites the dust.
Theres like 3 left now. I hope NGD sees a pattern.
I only know you from this forum Piz, so Im just happy you didnt leave all together :)

[Arafails]

I've said it before.

Regnum 1.5 = Overweight chat client.

[DkySven]

kai su, teknon?

I really, really hope Regnum will soon be enjoyable for you again.

[Valsulit]

I think that you are wrong. But I understand your dissatisfaction. You should consider that the problem is not the gameplay itself nor the general design of the game but the positioning, the lag and other technical problems that WE ALL hope is resolved some day. Try to play with another character or when there is no lag, only you had a bad day. The next time you will have more luck.

Anyway, see you! :thumb:

I think you didn't read what I wrote, but just assumed I was talking about the usual stuff.

I was talking about resist and evade ratio, my friend :) it has nothing to do with lag.

[surak]

[Anpu]

I demand excluding evades from log!

I understand you Piz, and we all need to give ourselves some time to relax from frustration game can generate, and give time also to devs to improve situation.
I just wish their priority list follows the list of community.

Take care and cya in IRC :)

[wosuhecy]

i will not be very constructive, but argggg ... :cuac:
Sad new

[Alenox]

Wish you good luck piz, hope you come back to the game some day u.u


It's not like I hate the resists enough already, no, they even make my friends leave now :(

And I'm close to copying you, too...

NOOOOOO ARK DON'T COPY HIM.

[Myxir]

Nooooo piz :rale:

[e30G]

Sorry to hear that Piz. Well all I can say is to stay tuned and watch the game. Hopefully we will see some improvements that would make things attractive and fun for all of us again. See you in IRC.

[Valsulit]

Your complaint is ONLY about resist and evade ratio, ok, congratulations.

I included the lag because think now is the biggest problem that many players leaving the game.

[Hamster_of_sorrow]

i hope threads like these make NGD get their shit together and figure out that character models are NOT what is important in this game. the gameplay gets stale. the only reason i am here is because i have made quite a few friends in the year that i have played.

[backe]

Hope to see you again when Regnum becomes a more player friendly game, Piz.

[Znurre]

Your complaint is ONLY about resist and evade ratio, ok, congratulations.

I included the lag because think now is the biggest problem that many players leaving the game.In my case it is the new combat system, mainly.

Since 1.0.8, which was a patch to improve the state of warriors in Regnum, each day is a fight versus the dynamics of the system.
I already made a video explaining the problems and reported the issues to NGD, and nothing has been done yet.

PS. Hi Valsulit! :p
Nice to see you on the English forums!

ONTOPIC: Bye Piz, I understand your reasons and I'm glad we'll stumble upon each other on IRC from time to time :)

[Mattdoesrock]

It is indeed sad to hear, but this is not the end.

Well will continue our Spartan hunts one day! :wub2:

I'm leaving the spanish forums especially because the admins pay more attention to these, I guess that for them are the official forums and the others... :play_ball:

Curiously in the RA server the biggest problem for the gameplay is the almighty and ubiquitous lag while I see that here there are many compliants about the evasion/resist system, something that there is considered as secondary by spanish players. You play in another league. Cheers!!

I'm thinking ask teletransporting Valsu to HORUS...

PS. sorry about the offtopic, Piz, and good luck.

[Pizdzius]

Yeah I understand. It's a good place to talk about issues ;D


But I almost never experience the lag, so I am not complaining about this, as it is not my problem.

[Arkenion]

Really depends on when you play, I can play in the afternoon and have a perfectly smooth gameplay, a smell launches just as I press the according button, but in the evenings (and this is, unfortunately, when I play the most) there's horrible lag sometimes.

[Mattdoesrock]

very poetic matt :P


but really, I feel like crawling under a rock and having a cry right now, so many awesome people leaving the game, hopefully that will change

[Truewar]

Well Piz,

I always stand on NGD side because I understand them as developers, as small team. I know what is when your customers ask you about one thing and you have higher priority on others. Sometimes it happens in cause of commercial, security or technical issues. If you work under someone, it can be also direction issue.

I am sure they will fix their bugs sooner or later. Bad that we often don`t have official info, we don`t have road map, we don`t have information about timing. We are all humans. We can understand anything. Most of us ready to support developer of lovely game. All we need is to keep in touch with developers team.

Sometimes it looks like developers turn off from english community =(

Anyway Piz, cya in IRC (as I never saw you in game)

[Laeloth_Claireplaine]

OMG PIZ ! :O


That's a great new :D ! We'll finally see you more often on IRC, you'll have more time to show us your work, woohoo ! \o/

And there's something I've learned from Syrtis : when everything else fail, there's still the Zerg solution ! xD
Mobs are over-evading ? Let's rampage them under the flood ! Let's gather in parties that will cover the sand of our beaches from Fisgael to Dohsim, let's take back what is ours ! It have passed too many moons where we have let those ugly Aquantis roam toward our coasts and those nasty cyclops haunt our meadows ! For how many times these mobs are devastating our beloved prairies ? Enough ! We'll shed their impious blood on the grass they've dared trample, we'll overcome their ignominious resistance with our fiery and righteous anger ! We'll stench our thirst of XP with the GRP !


Party, party, my friends ! And have no mercy !!!

[niclam]

This is sad news indeed. Your excellent Regnum comic really kept a lot of people entertained (ourselves included).

Hopefully, you'll come back from time to time to check the game progress or your friends and decide to stay.

I wish you success in all of your present and future endeavors.

Best regards,

Hey, he said he will not stop making the comic or leave the forums. He just left the game itself.

It's nice to know you guys are aware of all what's happening. I'm glad I have your answer, and Surak's too, means a lot to me.
I did not leave Regnum, I just am not going to play the game itself. There is a difference. I am checking the progress every day, and I do hope the situation will change so I can have fun again. That what games are for and I believe NGD knows that ;D

[Shiriki]

I never ever thought that PIZ was going to leave the game!

At least we can all still see in the forums.
Hope that you like the game when (if) it is improved.

Sure I hope so it will be same with others who left. Like Znurre, for example.
Maybe I'm a dreamer and idealist, but who cares ^^

I love this game and that's why I'm not ragequitting and burning bridges behind :P

[blood-raven]

dind't met u, but i think it's sad so many fine people are leaving the game (i speak in general). i hope ngd changes regnum for the better from now on so the players who puched the pause button will come and play again.
goodluck in rl!

regards

I understand what you mean piz... I was all into Runescape before, and when they took out the fun elements I only log on maybe 1 - 4 times a year if that just to collect the special event items.

I think the fun factor first dropped when our world was cut in two parts... RA and HORUS. After that the glue that bound us together slowly lost its sticky power. Then the gameplay changed maybe due to pressures from outside NGD gamer partnerships, who knows.

There are not many games out there worth playing to me anymore. It seems they all follow the same road to self destruction. If you want a game to be awesome, then don't change the core of what makes the game attractive to the players.

Piz I'll see you on Torian server ;) or in the Ether

[Inkster]

I totally understand where you are coming from Piz.

Most RA players will have noticed the lack of this smelly goats odour. I haven't left the game, im just on an extended vacation.

I find that this helps me enjoy the game more - taking a break every now and then gives me a better interest,
allows the steam to settle when i find something displeasing within the game, you may well find the same will apply to you

[Twinkle1]

I would have to totally agree with you on this DM.

I think back to how the game was when I first started and all the problems I for one had, just to get around or walk through a doorway because regnum wasnt set up for dual core. Along with all the bugs and lagg that when hand in hand with playing and how sooo many people persevered because they loved this game and could see the potential for the future with it. but most of all the close community that slowly went when Horus was born.
I dont think i would totally leave regnum, but for a while now i have lost the heart to play and that makes me sad. This isnt me winging about things that i dont like it's me reminiscing on the troubles we had as players in the early days of our regnum lives and yet even with these problems our love of the game and community kept us comming back addicted even.
I still have hope and faith in NGD and look forward to the day when the fun comes back and myself and smelly goat can hunt along side Piz, Mat and the guys again :)

[ljrossi]

Sad to here that, just take some holidays,

NGD really should focus on bringing fun back.

[makarios68]

This is so true.

I took an extended break last year and i returned with renewed interest.

I'm taking another break now but i know i'll be back again.

I'd advise anyone to take a break when the frustration gets too much - it's much healthier than playing under stress :)

Anyway, GL Piz ( P.S. i wish i knew who your chars are - i've no idea if i've been killed by you, killed you or fought alongside you!)

[Truewar]

Boger said once that there is dead end for english speaking community on Ra. :huh:
Looks like he was right. English community is not so active on Ra anymore. And after merging Tyr and Horus that server made big step up. With our support there will be much more such steps =]

[Truewar]

I love this game and that's why I'm not ragequitting and burning bridges behind :P
Great idea Piz! Would be nice to burn some bridges during invasions....
