Do you think Warmasters update improved your game experience ?

Me personally I'm splitted mind about WM Update so I haven't voted. Many issues are great imo, but other just suck.
To be honest, the "sucking parts" are not mostly NGDs fault but what players do with given issues. Using WM abilities only to hunt down grinders which are mostly 10-15 levels beneeth a WM is no fun at all for the "lowlevel grinders".

Yes giving the WM quests a PvP/RvR touch was great but what players do to fullfill them is not the way NGD intended them to solve.
Having more wars is fun, but in case of being in an underpopulated army (either because of to much grinders/afker/lazy people or because of really being outnumbered) is no fun at all. If your realm has only 2 WM in total and your opponents have 4-5 WM in every fight makes a big different. And if your realm is finally able to get near taking a fort, the enemies disappear through teleports.

The underpopulation/overpopulation issue changes from time to time at least on Niflheim. Every realm has times where they are "the force" in war but that does not change the grindkiller WM issues. Maybe think about WM skills not affecting caster/ making teleport spells not work inside forts would be a first step in the right direction.

I'm playing regnum online for over 3 years now and it still is fun to me but some things (bugs/phantomhits/positioning issues/not really thought about WM spells) just lower the fun.

I voted for No.

I'm not sure what it is but man did this game just get boring. Sad to say I am not a big fan of the update and have very little positive things to say.

Negative:

I really think teleports have to go, they've killed off alot of what made Regnum. Grouping points have literally died out, nobody knows where to go anymore; whether to stay idle at save waiting for a teleport or find a group of people at some fort. It scares me to think of the future when 50+ teleporters will exist.

The most hated spells are now being kicked up to level 5, which are leaving alot of players out of the wars. I find no valid reason to switch back to Spell casting, it's just impossible to play. BoW (5) is thrown on me every minute so I might aswell play SM for good. Ambush (5), which takes forever to end, Kick/Feint (5)... don't get me started, lol.

For years we've asked for more events/activities to participate in while wars weren't happening, rather then just waiting, waiting and waiting. Okay, so we got an extra 10 levels to grind, eww.. lol. That did give us something to do but I can assure you, no... it's not fun.

I feel like I'm playing a Mark's/Barb's war, the balance system is waaaay out of hand. When we're fighting around the fort, it's a Mark's playing field because of the insane range you've provided them with and when we're on the door theres just no point in being there if you're not a Barb.

Positive:

I like the new xp gain when we finish off a player. =D

Thanks
