| Author | Merge - How do we fare? |
|---|
Well, the title looks awfully bad, I didn't have much time to think of another one :p Well, moving ahead with the point of discussion.
Almost all of you guys out there wanted the merge - Its natural, when humans don't get something, we look into other alternatives without realizing how it could lead us into doom. I have encountered some people saying - I wanted the merge only if the fsp problem had been solved, etc., etc. Well, did we actually ever think if it was going to be solved in a good way? The current rule of the 1.6 fsp multiplier isn't so good either. And ofc! There are these great DU .ru players against whom we almost have no chance.
And finally, the real issues of the merge came out when we got the quick tournament. First of all, they enter with cartloads of crazy enchants. Then many of them have DU. And above all, they have loads of fsp. And with the minor tourney, all hopes have been shattered. I don't think many high level players will come in the top 3. Even in the lower levels, I guess only those levels have a chance where the DU don't make any difference, like lvl 5, 8... And don't need to mention the communication problems, do I?
But looking on the bright side, there have been many good things. We have got so many features. We have the lease shop, quick tourney, sunny city cup and so on. Also, it is so easy to do a thief ambush now. Doing GBs have now well become possible, earlier, it was a long wait to get someone for the GBs.
But even with all this, we need to understand the admin point of view. Even though this is a non-commercial project or whatsoever, they still need to earn. They ofcourse can't fill their stomachs by doing community service. They have done a fantastic job, and they deserve to be paid. And they might have felt that the cost of maintaining the .com server was a more than what they earned from it. So they might have had to take the extreme step. Not to mention the effort they had to put in to merge the two servers, its not so easy.
So, for all those who wanted merge so desperately, what do you feel? How are you faring in this server? Should we have had the merge? Tell it all... | | Other than FSP imbalance, I am happy with the merge | I am loving the merge. Things are so lively to be frank. I am more of a PvE player, and trust me there are heck loads of major changes...
No more Thief waiting.
No more Hunt Assist Waiting.
No more waiting for PvP opponent.
Instant Group Battles for 4x4 Events.
Market functions a lot faster.
Trust me, the 1.6 FSP is perfect to be frank... You can just give us Double the FSP can you. The merge was totally perfect and im lovin it! ;) | Other than FSP imbalance, I am happy with the merge
What personally do you think the admins should do to correct it? | .com was losing players. it was dying. so naturally, the merger was a good thing - even if not perfect for us.
i think that the optimistics will enjoy the game more, now. whereas the pessimistics will keep finding reasons to whine some more. it's like those people that finally wake up after years in coma: some are happy to resume their lives, others just think "what the hell happened to the world? i was better off asleep..." | I am loving the merge. Things are so lively to be frank. I am more of a PvE player, and trust me there are heck loads of major changes...
PvE has been better here, especially as far as the thieving part is concerned. It doesn't take more than a minute to get a ambush, | .com was losing players. it was dying. so naturally, the merger was a good thing - even if not perfect for us.
true, though better advertising would have been better, but lords didn't stand a chance in the international competition with so many browser games out there. | for me this game was just dead, so all is good because i found motivations.
i was a high level in .com where pvp was very very difficult to set and the opponents were always the same, no events, now all changed.
i find some problem but for me is minor:
many players have some crazy enchanted art set
i am very very rusty and need to learn again how to play pvp, specially because i chose a new faction (dwarves)
fsp gap is big
economy is totally changed, need to adapt
ru is welcome |
What personally do you think the admins should do to correct it?
Nothing
They have already provided the FSL Potion
Rest, we have to wait and gain fsp via awesome events such as the minor tourney
For my CL, if I win, I get 7.2 fsp, If I lose, I get 2.3+ Fsp
If I lose 10 in a row, I still get minimum 23 fsp | ^
only you will keep on spam tht 12k potion
Get more diamond to do it..I see i have no reason to do this because it was admin's fault..Abandoned us long ago | I see i have no reason to do this because it was admin's fault
and Potion is NOT helpfull,you will always have -1 fsp than your opponent,(rather than having the same fsp as you should normally,because you have same number of battles,tg,mg,etc...)
potion is only for players who want to build their other factions from fsp1. | | And see the cost too... | Well to be perfectly honest I am very pleased that the merger went ahead. As a dedicated no lifer, I switched to playing the RU server 15 months ago, because there was nothing happening on com. You could wait hours for an ambush, never get a CG organised, this despite having played lords for over 4 years.
So in 15 months on the ru server I am almost level 15 already, and yes by FSP and resistances are better for the other factions that my main due to the number of events war etc that are held on the RU server. Yes this should have all been implemented on the com server, but on which server would you concentrate if you were the admins, one which has over 10,000 people playing nearly all day, or one which struggles to reach 500.
The potion for factions, is great for building up resistance as it actually gives you a chance in battles even though you may be FL0, imagine fighting as Dwarf with FL9 and using the hydra rune. The cost is not that great at 12k especially when it lasts for a week. use a potion when you know you will be able to play a lot for a week.
But for me the greatest benefit is being able to fight alongside my com friends be it in join ambush or in PvP, so good to be back with them once again | .com was losing players. it was dying. so naturally, the merger was a good thing - even if not perfect for us.
yeah i agree
iam actually really happy | | As far as I am concerned, I haven't faced any trouble so far. At lvl 8, there are no DU, that might be a reason, and also, fsp difference is also not too high. Might have troubles later on, but since I am a GB player, this has been an awesome move, as I can get players for GB very easily rather than waiting half an hour on .com and most of the time, the battle finally becoming a duel. Yet, I hate communication problems which was the best part of GBs. | | | The other thing I fear is the most probably soon to be held MC wars for control of territory and mines. Do you think we will have a good chance at capturing those mines for ourselves? I doubt that we will be able to get any good mines for ourselves, at lease for sometime till we overcome the fsp gap. | @16
while we are catching up, they are doing other thing to make them even stronger
The gap will never gone | @ #18
Yup, we are thinking that we are closing up, but we should understand that they aren't sitting idle as well... | for Vlaer:
This is true. We get so ecstatic that admins are putting down tourneys,etc for us to close the gap but what many of us dont realize is that the .ru players are also doing it and are also gaining fsp.. Btw what is the sunny city cup ? |
