Hey.

I just wanna say that i feel like regnum just dies at level 50. What to do at that level? War, war, war..., war? Thats really really boring. Sometimes there are nice battles, but i think not happend a lot. Invasions? Cool, but after 2 or 3 i feel like it non sense, the rewards are poor.

I think that NGD should create more content to expend time at wz, cities? inter-realm sports? I dont know, but for me the game is usally die at level 50.

And about the balance i think its just the begining of a better balance (i hope).

unhappy players, means a time for ngd to do something, if not, they are really stupid

however nightCHAV (In real life I scare the shit out of these) is right about the 1:1 conversion, it's unfair and illegal, but I also think he should tone his flaming down

I like to compare Regnum with Quake.
What is the ultimate goal in Quake? To kill, kill, kill...
What is fun in Quake is to master the gameplay, to improve your aim and to become a better player, and to simply have fun with your friends in the team oriented aspects of the game.

Regnum is no different from this in my eyes.
Regnum for me, is a frag game, just that you have classes, a variety of skills and items.
Becuase of this, there need to be no fancy content like crafting, invasions or whatever.
The fighting itself is enough - if the fight is fun, that is, as used to be the case 2 years ago.

The fact that you play against real players, that will never act the same, with different setups and tactics, is enough to provide with a dynamic and everchanging gameplay.
However, since the 1.0.8 patch - Regnum is like Quake with aimbot and a random interval between each bullet in a weapon.

The one with quad, yellow armor and sniper will win no matter what without much effort while the ones not using a 1 shot kill weapon will have a hard time, stuck with bad dynamics and without their skill and knowledge about the game making much difference.

1.0 introduced invasions, which gave people a reason not to fight but to camp inside buldings, protected by the system, or to run around the map trying to not get spotted.
Instead, people use bridge fights as a last resort to get some old, decent wars which makes the rest of the warzone really static and boring.

Everyone grinds inside the walls, which further adds to making the warzone more static.

And then the balance.

• Anyone else remember early version 0.9 where everyone attacked faster thanks to weapon speed not affecting delay between hit/skills?
• Anyone else remember version 0.9 where conjurers heal had less cooldown and healed for more hp?
• Anyone else remember that you could get up to 50rp/kill in early 0.9, which also solved the problem with leechers getting a big RP share and denying the damage dealers theirs, without nerfing the auras etc. for that sake?
• Anyone else remember when there were several ways to cause high damage, without using only one high damage dealing skill?
• Anyone else remember when there were less evades and resists?
• Anyone else remember when items would not decide the outcome of any battle as much?

I do.

Since 1.0, to me Regnum has taken a step backwards in everything but graphical content, quests and premium items.
Some of the balance changes since 0.9 -> 1.0 have been good, but most not.

To me, this is why Regnum died.
It's like Quake nerfing all damage, implementing evades, adding a sanctuary zone in the middle of the map where people can chat and trade and giving points/minute for avoiding your enemies for as long as possible.

That's not the definition of fun for me.

I dont think thats a good comparation (regnum - quake) because:

1.- At Quake most times you dont need help, or you are alone in a free for all!! I mean, at RO you MUST be with more ppl to survive, at quake not.

2.- At Quake the map is small, you can die and kill many times in a minute, not in RO.

3.- At Quake there are no many differents from a character to other, just the power of the weapon, at RO all is different from one player to another.

I mean most time at RO is lost time (travel, resurrecting, tradding...) and war is small time. If you connect for 30 min then, with luch, you will fight 5 min. If you want to play RO you need many time, for me thats an important point. Thats kill regnum for me.

Fight at RO is pretty, and will be really awesome if ppl cooperate and if the places (like castles) take an important influence at battles, if not the battles take 5 minutes to destroy an army of 20 and thats not funny.

For me the combat system and balance inst really bad, the problem is the ppl and the spots.

At quake i dont need to trust in my teams mates if im pretty good, but thats impossible at RO, you could be the best but if your mates are noobs you will die.

(I also play urban terror, not quake :P)

PS: For example nerfing conjus was really stupid. More conjus, more time fighting, more fun.

Depends what game mode you play.

2.- At Quake the map is small, you can die (...) many times in a minute

If you suck.

Yep, that's the reason Quake is more balanced.

Good point

At quake i dont need to trust in my teams mates if im pretty good

Another false statement.

I guess your quake facts are taken from your UrT experience then, since they're completely off the ball.

If you suck.

why have to cutted the message and respond half phrase?

Yep, that's the reason Quake is more balanced.

RO is balanced when your in a group, RvR, not PvP.

Another false statement.

Its false for you, not for me.

This a thread to discuss about RO, isnt it?

the part about killing many in a minute is true

RO is balanced when your in a group, RvR, not PvP.

Sometimes

Its false for you, not for me.

It's false for anyone who played quake more then a day

This a thread to discuss about RO, isnt it?

yeah, but you were being ignorant, now that i've fixed that you guys can continue on to flame each other about regnum.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Znurre again.

This is not new.
Alot of companies do this.
For example Steam, one of the most famous gaming-shops. They do exactly the same.
Alot of games do this, they take the same price and just changes the money type, instead of converting it.
A pity, I know.
But thats how it works =(

I dont like it either, and it does stop me from buying Xim. Simply because its unfair.
Nice post, btw.
