Do you think Warmasters update improved your game experience ?

Most of the time in fort wars we're fighting outside the fort, it's almost the same fights, just not in those places. And zergy if you only capture one enemy fort.

Seriously, isn't that enough space? We also occupy the whole path to the save. In most fights I've been, we fight outside the fort, it's as if it was open field, though some can escape death by running inside the fort. Big deal.
Also, in open field fights it's much easier to run away since there's more space for those pussy hunters to run, rocks to camo behind, etc. Teleporters have a huge CD, they can't always use them like they can cast Mobility, Distracting shot, Camouflage, etc.

Oh yes, there's nothing more fun than wasting 10 minutes running to Algaros/Trelleborg/Eferias/Imperia just to arrive late for the fight.

Theorically, yes, in practice, no. Onslaught is an example.

omi :O its like... almost the same

Before the teleports: Waste time running to a fort, camp it, die, 25% chance of running back to the same fort 25% moving to a diferent fort 50% do nothing, meet enemy at the bridge, fight, die. Repeat.

Both kinda suck, except that the purpose of teleporting is to capture and defend enemy forts to be able to invade that realm. Most of the action comes from there. Too bad there's time zone imbalances.

That's because I used the wrong word, again.

It's the same as running, it's just faster but creates:

Lazyness.

80% spells become useless.
War=Zerg that push random button vs other zerg that push random buttons...almoust any spell become useless....only some areas are good.NO more dynamic..NO more strategy...zerg that have more DMG areas and WM will win=a big boring bulshit.....RIP PVP....

I voted No.

Beacons causes only less thinking, you don't have to care about the most CCs. It can be removed only by Mind Squasher, which is unfair to the other 4 classes.

Horn of the Wind makes barbs even more OP.

Now by using teleports, the map won't be used fully anymore, because you don't have to walk througt it.
Who isn't warmaster yet ofc he has to use horse. This makes low level players even more frustrated.

Wm coins are only good to become a WM, and if you reached your goal what you have to do? Enjoy your OPness?

I would love if you can help me explain why all of the statistical data (average playing time, concurrent users, revenue, etc) has increased on all servers and why this poll's result is so negative.

I am not being ironical. I would really like to get a grasp on this issue.
Is it a hardcore vs casual thing? Old users vs new users?

thanks,

The Quality of gameplay is reducing more and more, for every implented good thing you guys take three to four good things away. The Fluctuation of players is absolutely terrific, in the one week you see 4-6 new players on level 50+ and 2 weeks later you find out that they quitted.

Okay quitting players that bought a role + boost + a horse some colour or maybe lucky boxes, seem great to you, but the whole bunch of new players start and stop the games very fast, way before the can becoma a useful fighter in the daily wars.

I sometime would wish any of you guys would start playing just a little to find out the way of frustration that often occurs, this would be a better sign than your wonderful statistics.

You must decide, high playerfluctuation increases your moneyincome from some players for 2-3 weeks, or you try to keep teh game interested for people that like to battle every day, so you might get a smaller account of money but you earn over a long period of time.

Something like the immunity is for example absolutely embarassing, normally the lowest populated realm loses their Gems first, and to frustrate these Players even mor you destroy their opportunity to have Battles nearby their bind? so they have to run in small groups in other realm warzone? To get beat within 1 minute? Think about this concept, and if you dont believe how hard this is, try to logg in and motivate some players of the underpopulated realm to run to the enemy over and over again, thenn youll know what i mean, and what you did whit some changes.

It seems like your interests only focusses on how can we make the people level more because anything else is not interesting anymore, there are all kinds of Monster redesigned, and the new forts are somewhere way back in the list of priority. Talk to User, try to trust their statements if you really are interessted to put a smile on the players face.

Now you can bann me again for telling you my oppinion.

I've heard the WMs in Syrtis are selfish people so it doesn't surprise me if they only use the teleporters for their own benefit, but in Ignis everyone, no matter what level, is welcome to use teleporters. Of course, there are CDs, and not everyone can make it to the teleporter.

Play the game like they normally did before the update?

Completely agree with the highlighted parts.
IMHO lack of communication with players is the worst thing. Honestly guys, u cant be that busy.... Sad

I'm also playing Conju and warlock, and I'm sorry if for me it's not fun to run like 5 or 10 min to go somewhere.

I'm not yet a WM but I use teleport everyday and everyone can use teleport in Ignis. And I'll never thank enough our WM for this. They do great job.

Play the game like they normally did before the update

That is soooo true. If everyone stop crying for this update and just play the game, they will have more fun and maybe more WM too.

Once again, am I a WM? NO! And I have the benficit of them anyway. I can use beacon, teleport... and I'm very happy with this changes. Ignis is under atack every time since few days, by both Syrtis and Alsius. It's hard for us to keep our forts. And It's great. We can't atack a lot but we have good fight and it's what I want.

We don't have bridge fights anymore? It doesn't happend that much anyway. And we still have nice openfield fights anyway.

I'm very sorry for my poor english, but I realy wan to particpate to this thread cause NGD did great things and they just see people unhappy. Of course they have to do much for coorect the old bugs, but news things are good for a game.

We don't need WMs with extra power, we just want to play a balanced and fun game... and you can't say WM powers are balanced.

NGD concentrates to the hardcore players because they always will pay for xim. Now hardcore players will grind to 60 and become a warmaster, and the others won't! Just count how many lvl60ers have horse from xim and you will see what I talked about. (and won't stop, 2% resists, engrave socket, lucky boxes etc.)

[Alzaroth_]

Every WM in EVERY realm have the same powers so it is balanced...

[Ashnurazg]

The result of the poll shows that the most of the voters doesn't have a better game experience than before the warmaster update.
For me - personally, it's not a surprise.

I ask myself, did Regnum stagnate on a high level of game experience or did the game experience decreases? There a few things that heavily can increase my game experience:

• better balance (not to privilege classes)
• more bug fixes
• higher frame rates (especially with opengl as renderizer)
• customizable user interface (does Regnum still use wxwidgets? )
• new forts
• new prettier player models & high-res textures
