| Author | Merge - How do we fare? |
|---|
Weird how people keep complaining about DU. First of all, it is possible for anyone to get such an advantage with the diamond mine - and of course if you want to be competitive in an MT you should invest in any advantage there is. Secondly, anyone who buys diamonds with real money is supporting the server - surely admins would not continue to pay for the server if it was not supported by diamond buyers, then goodbye game! Thirdly, it is by no means impossible to beat a DU player in a duel as has been proved by many.
I agree about how irrelevant is the whine about DU. That being said, I thought of getting a DU back on .com. As of now, I won't, because I just keep loosing badly in most PvP fights. The 3 new factions / alternative builds makes old build/strategies outdated, plus fsp gap, makes it a real pain. Won't waste so much money just for a slight better chance not to loose so badly; I even wonder why I enlisted in the tourney. Guess I should stick to 2v2 for now; only there with a good teammate I seem to get a decent chance to win. | From my point of view, the merge turned out pretty great. It is fun to be able to play again, and enjoy all the new game content, not just dismiss hunts and quests most of the time.
Sure, there are some bumps in the road. PvP event is hardly appropriate right after the merge, without giving .com players at least some time to catch up a little with faction levels(two weeks under no circumstances are enough to achieve that).
I'm not going to whine about fsp gap though. I admit it's there, and makes it quite difficult to win against anyone from .ru, but on the other hand - I'm not a PvP experienced player, so blaming the gap would be just turning a blind eye on my own flaws as a player. Yet each loss is a PvP lesson learned.
Therefore despite the bit of a frustration from the PvP aspect, I find the merge envigorating and encouraging for further play. | So far for me its frustratinng but worth continuing. I got some bad losses in tourney and am not planning to continue it. So many DUs and high fsp players. 3 wins and 9 losses...
But there is now hope in getting a TGI and that admins would do something. Overall I agree with merge and it is right from the point of view of admins. But not helping .com players in FSP, then that I would consider as a fault.Admins wouldn't loose real lyf money for it and some .ru players may protest but that would be short bcz in their heart they too would know it is currently unfair for us and their protest is selfish. | But not helping .com players in FSP, then that I would consider as a fault.Admins wouldn't loose real lyf money for it and some .ru players may protest but that would be short bcz in their heart they too would know it is currently unfair for us and their protest is selfish.
Well, many argue this point, but how will admins do that? | | I'm sick of how over-powered Dwarves and Holy Knights are, and how weak Barbarians seem to be, at least at my level. At only level 10, I haven't seen too many FSP boosters, and there are no DU, so I guess I shouldn't complain. | I'm sick of how over-powered Dwarves and Holy Knights are
At lvl 10, dwarf are only half OP as they are when they reach fl 9)) | I'm sick of how over-powered Dwarves and Holy Knights are

i am cl 11 and i am facing dwarves with fsl 9,what i have seen is that it hurts a lot..:P | | Holy knights are new - i am sure they will be balanced out eventually and hopefully admins will use this MT as a test to see how they are against other factions. | Merge made me return to the game. Needless to say, I'm happy with the merge overall - it brought life to the game, which was sorely lacking. I think of the merge as an expansion pack, on hard difficulty. And that brought many things for me to work towards now.
We wanted events before the merge and now we have them. Sure, we lose 90% of the time, but that's still a step forward from where we came from, the land of no events.
Still, I hope something will be done about the imbalances. |
Well, many argue this point, but how will admins do that?
My idea is to give free fsp to all .com players based on exp they have such that an avg .com will be slightly behind .ru . Then an event especially for all but extra fsp gain for .com . Free fsp based on exp will ensure the fsp farmers in .com will not end up as just normal guys....
An event specially for .com players with high fsp will not be ok bcz the difference is huge for high level players and some might not be able to attempt it bcz of some perso reason and he wld be left behind forever. conversly some would be extra active and gain more than that was meant to be. So I think free fsp is the best choice... | My idea is to give free fsp to all .com players based on exp they have such that an avg .com will be slightly behind .ru .

Well, think about .ru people. Though its right that we are behind only because we didn't have as many events as they had. But think this way, event if they had those events, they worked hard for it, and if we get it for free, do you think it'll be acceptable?

Exactly. So I don't think there will be any option left. Another way would be that .com players be given extra fsp than .ru players till we reach a certain value so that we are at par with the russians. | Holy knights are new - i am sure they will be balanced out eventually and hopefully admins will use this MT as a test to see how they are against other factions.
Like they balanced DDemons? | @32
Not like we love to slack but admin did not give us any chance to do that | | #32 Well, it won't happen overnight. They might make changes again. | For me, the merge was a great move, here we are in a dynamic game with all the updates we waited for for so long.
but...
The gap will never gone
example?
here
i played vs a guy in tourney
https://www.lordswm.com/pl_info.php?id=3261367
now, he has 2.4 times more fsp than me
and much xp less, btw
he is way more then average, right?
and this is the score
https://www.lordswm.com/war.php?warid=512124589
7782 xp and 6,03 fsp, or 1290 xp/fsp, for him
and 1822 xp and 1,11 fsp for me, or 1641xp/fsp
and the million dollar question is...
how will this system of rewards ever balance the gap amongst .ru and .com players?
he has waaaay more fsp than avg, yet he gets way batter reward
maybe i am stupid, please can someone explain it to me? | for debeljuca:
He won and you lost, even after losing how can you expect better ratio? | Fight where I lost:
https://www.lordswm.com/war.php?warid=510982592
I received 865.7 exp.fsp and he received 548 exp/fsp
Fight where I won:
https://www.lordswm.com/war.php?warid=511051742
I received 595 exp/fsp and he received 628 exp/fsp | | I think merge is really great, we can enjoy so many new features, arts and thieving now is really worth it. Superb exp/fsp ratio and ambushing with partner gives much of fun! | for dwarf_ruler
ok, another example
https://www.lordswm.com/pl_info.php?id=2125032
1777,37 fsp, far bigger than the average of .com
and about 1,4 times more then i have
and this time i won
https://www.lordswm.com/war.php?warid=511406100
8841 xp, and 6,24 fsp for me, or 1416 xp/fsp
2305 xp and 2,5 fsp for him, or 922 xp/fsp for him
how?
i dont see any logic here?
the thing is, we are weaker, at disadvantage at start.
and therefore we lose more, so the gap is getting bigger, not smaller.
i think there is a good way to balance it
rewards should be related to difference in fsp between players
so if i play against a player with much more fsp, lets say 1,4 times more, then i get 1,4 times more fsp
that would balance fsp gap pretty fast i think
and that makes sense, the stronger your opponent is, the better is your prize
but only in PvP should be like that, hunts and the rest should be the same for both
that way .ru players dont get a feeling that we got something we did not deserve
and it would improve PvP a lot |
