AuthorTranscript of Interview with Maxim (adm) - 27/9/2017 (part 1)
can anyone explain me the role of HTML5?
Regarding 20#
Well, maybe they plan to change Dwarf situation in some Guilds, because they are putting a new Dwarf Class? :P
Maybe its not Too much hate for dwarves from admins,as you say, if they do so put the new Class.
Only time will tell, I suppose.
regarding adding more items with Magic Penetration or Defence

I understood it was more about actually extra initiative for hero.

I wouldn't get my hopes too high though, they talked about a lot of things to balance but it was interviewers talking about that but not necessarily acknowledged by Maxim.

They are already lagging compared to alt classes in pvp which excells at all aspects of pvp and their main class excells at pve.

Dwarves are in the balance in PvP looking at results, with all factions having 4 or 5 gold or silver. Elves stand out but this is pretty much known fact at that point.
Also a Nerf to Dwarves regarding TG, which also (Somehow) implies a Buff to Factions that are bad in TG (Knights, Necros) towards TG, because it would be "Silly/Weird" to change effectiviness of Dwarves only in TG.

To me it doesn't imply this at all, it simply means dwarves will be made weaker.

They also talk about Necros losing "Power" at higher Lvls because of Talents, where many Factions can get Expert Luck, Morale, and Offence, almost.

I don't think Maxim said they would improve this, I simply read it as "tough."

I understood that if they were to add attack tree for exemple, then they would have to decrease recruit count (and that people would complain of having less troops).

I also understood that they plan to add arts for more hero ini for destruction for high levels, that they would increase hellfire minimal damage (and also add nature spells but that's already in the traduction of transcript) but I'm not sure they will change the rest they talked about (necro skill tree, classic wizard skill tree and classic DE racial). They will probably increase eyes recruit count and maybe buff trolls somehow too.
All i can see they are going to give PvE good alt Dwarfs. probably high number of harpooner expected with holy and nature magic
Thanks Pixi for translating, it's much appreciated!
Thank you so much for translations, much appreciated!
Are you joking? One requires and investment of 500k or 80 diamonds, the other is free... and you think they are meant to be the same?

that's totally wrong.

You can't play RG without a mount (and you need at least the 2nd one), so in the long run, it comes to the same price, or even more expensive than TG for the highest levels if somebody plays it not that often (since mounts are time-based).

The only difference is that in TG you pay 500k at once, in RG you divide that through several purchases.

So yes, i expect them to be - in the end - equals. Today, they are not.
#29
also forgot: consider that once you reach lvl 5, your TG will give a new invite that you can sell. So THAT one becomes free.

in RG, although mounts can have other uses as well, you will never get the gold back for those.

Yep, at least pretty equal on cost, with an advantage for TG in the long run.

So they deserve to be equal in rewards too.
But they aren't equal.

The only difference is that in TG you pay 500k at once, in RG you divide that through several purchases.

The 500k investment is the big hurdle, 6k a week is not a big hurdle. And 500k / 6k is 83 weeks, about a year and a half, that's only equal if a person is simply using the mount for RG and nothing else (otherwise the value derived from mount is higher).

I mean, if they were equal / if RG is more expensive in the long run, why have you gone for RG rather than TG?

well, thats just one way of looking into it. One could argue, that if you intend to play a few RG battles you will still need a 6k mount. Not everyone is going to use those 7 days to play.

In tg you are free to play however you want to.
If you argue that, then you could argue that if you want to do TG you need 500k just to enter, and when you do That, you don't have the luxury of just being able to qiot after 100 battles if you want your gold back. But with RG, you can try out the guild at a low cost.

Its all swings and roundabouts. End of the day, TG requires a huge investment just to start replaying, whereas RG needs a relatively small one.
Lets remember how RG came about.

TG existed and people were happy with it (broadly), however those that could not afford it were not happy. To placate those individuals admin made a rangers guild which is more accesible, not to replace or be ab equal to thieves butto placate those who could not thieve.

In my mind rangers is for lower levels wh have not saved so long/played so long so have not yet got to thief status. Gold management is much much tougher when you start than later on, and for many of us old people now are in a stable gold position where we can act fairly happily within our means short of buying enchants, rare arts or lots of castle buildings.

The question then is how much inferior to thieves guild should rangers be - and on one level one could view it from the admins as - sufficiently inferior to motivate people to spend diamonds on a thief invite if they cannot save.

I can hardly see admins amending rangers guild, it was never meant as a main route and I doubt ever will be.
About the financial aspect guyb... it's obvious that TG is way more profitable. Once you hit tg 5, you get back your initial investment. Plus, if you play with min ap, tg battles are a profit on their own, whereas with rg battles you lose money every battle.

So financially tg is much better, and also stat wise tg is much better. But as I said obviously it's meant to be, because as miles mentioned rg was never meant to be a substitute for tg. If it was no one ever would buy tgi with 500k or 80 diamonds. And do you think it's fair for those who did buy tgi? And besides, even admins won't want to lose a source of diamond purchases.
If you argue that, then you could argue that if you want to do TG you need 500k just to enter, and when you do That, you don't have the luxury of just being able to qiot after 100 battles if you want your gold back. But with RG, you can try out the guild at a low cost. you think they are comparable? paying 500k to enter and having lifetime access and paying 6k for weekly mounts which you may or may not be able to use much other than weekends anyway?

Its all swings and roundabouts. End of the day, TG requires a huge investment just to start replaying, whereas RG needs a relatively small one.
If you are buying a stallion, dead set on playing multiple RG battles everyday then sure, its not expensive and fair pricing. But if you are going to be casual then TG is better. Don't think 500k is not a hard amount to save, 80 diamonds even more affordable unless you are a minor with no money to spend.
edit: Don't think 500k is a hard amount to save; 80 diamonds even more affordable unless you are a minor with no money to spend.
for Ipsen:
unholy necro is always strong in pvp tournaments, for example https://www.lordswm.com/pl_info.php?id=6170701 who get 2 gold medal in lv 13 and 14 this mt.
but yes i agree to remake unholy necro, right now they are meat of tribal but nightmare for most other factions, we do not like a battle which ends when it starts.

RG is a lure for new players, a blackhole of money, and a decent reason of quitting the game following roulette."there are no problem with rg" shows admin do not want to save those poor prey who fell into the trap named rg.
anyway it is not bad, since every mouse like the trap, especially the cheese on the trap.

sorry for the double post before, due to network delay.
This topic is long since last update and considered obsolete for further discussions.
