Title: Let's gets the ball rolling again!
Post by: lolman1c on April 01, 2014, 12:18:03 am
I've played on the latest patch and it runs a hell of a lot more smoothly now! But I was talking to like the only other 5 people playing the game and they have heard lots of rumours this game is dead and the devs stopped making stuff for it! (which is weird because they must have just downloaded the latest patch) Which has got me thinking, I know a lot of people were upset with a few things in this game but that couldn't have been everyone! So maybe people genuinely think this mod is dead and don't know about the latest patch? Well then lets tell them! Post everywhere you can that this mod is alive and playable! Post to your friends, post your family! Post to everyone you know! We must produce more players!

The reason why so many people think this mod is "dead," is more or less because it is. The initial full release of Iron Europe brought terrible lag, crashes, performance for a majority of the players, including myself. People just got sick of it and bored, and left, again including myself. I haven't had a chance to download this recent patch, but some of my Steam friends say it's good, most say it did hardly anything but fixing minor lag and bugs/textures, etc.

Iron Europe I think was a hit or miss from the start, especially with all the cool and unique features it has. There's only so much the Warband engine can run at once, and twenty grenades going off every five seconds sure as hell doesn't help. Same goes for all the machine guns being fired, mortar shells being dropped, sapper builds going on, huge maps with loads of unnecessary extras/details, all cause lag.

We'll see how it goes. Events pretty much are no more, because of the lag issue, but I'm sure they'll start popping up again soon. People just need to get back to the mod and give it another chance, I will myself soon.

ill admit one thing and im, not saying this to suck up

i played yesturday or the day before,  and with the new patch

it feels like a way faster smoother version of what it was

it would be nice to get more people back now,  but even i feel that there needs to be a bit more RP element than just shoot kill be blown up

thats what has always made mount blade stand out for other shoot em up games

but sadly theres nothing, even if u want music u need to stand still to play gramaphone
whistle can barely be heard and only lasts a second
and theres no` on me`  or `i surrender`  kind of animation

Exactly what roleplaying elements does Native have that IE doesn't? Are you seriously trying to argue that the lack of the surrender animation is what killed the mod? Seriously? People have complained about small pointless issues with the mod before but you take it to a whole new level.

I'll answer for him because he has posted the same thing many times now. "A surrender button". :P But no really I'm a historian of ww1 in university and I love this game! Many things are very accurate that most major game developers would just get wrong!

There is an official NW steam group.. and it seems, that there is no "help" by FSE, to announce any mods via announcements. All my suggestions and requests were denied.
So, if they would do something like that, they should promote every single mod.. cause IE is not the only big NW mod :)

We could set up public events! Like maybe even public realism events to help stress test the server and just make a simple trench warfare map!

Not really surprised about that.

Just make your own steamgroup if you want to promote mods and invite people in it. Get several people to invite their entire friendlist and it will fill quick enough.

The Friday Official Event is cancelled now, which is what kept my lads interested, I hope it's restarted soon. I think simply the release should of been a few more weeks, it would of been worth it I say. People don't have the patience most times, and if you don't deliver what you say in all perfectness, they're off. Either way, I think Bringing Brits into the mod is the only thing that's going to boost the numbers largely.

A good place to start would be to set up specific, weekly times where people get together together for public play. Otherwise, everybody will come onto the server at different times, and immediately leave, all the while unaware that there are 20 other people who just did the same thing.

You don't seem to understand, the official events that were present aren't being run anymore such as the Friday event that was hosted by Karantaki. Once an event has stopped the regiments going to it stop caring about it and it is extremely difficult to regain players once they have been lost.

If Regiments or "Legions" are willing to do an event, I can certainly try to host an event. Do keep in mind that I do have a life, have a NW regiment, and other stuff but if there is enough interest then i could start an event. (This is only if people are actually willing to sign up/ join)
Title: Re: Let's gets the ball rolling again!
Post by: lolman1c on April 06, 2014, 06:13:26 pm
My regiment has a 50 slot server we are more than welcome to host some events. I created a huge urban warfare map based of the Finnish civil war that would be perfect for something like this. The map is based off the battle for the Finnish capital during the civil war with the Russian Soviet Gov just after ww1. It starts off on the outskirts as the Finnish move in to attack the church before crossing the bridge to move into the city. Once in the city they have to make their way through in closed urban terrain flushing out any enemies in the city. They then focus their final assault on the capital building (much like the final level of world at war) and this is what won them the battle. It makes more sense when i'm not in my map editor IE as our Germans have their skins replaced with the Finnish ww1 uniforms. Also we made the map in prep for the Russian faction so the battle would make more sense. The map does have rules though, it's just conquest apart from both sides start off with 3000 points but the defending side can not regain flags and have to move back every time they lose one. The attackers can also not skip flags and have to take them one by one. (like what actually happened in the battle). You must remember that I'm on a crappy laptop and have map editor open (as well as my quality changed to make it look better than I actually play) so my fps will be often random.

If you'd like to host a weekly public event, the Iron Europe development team would provide you with a 200 slots server and a pat on the back. Also, Karantukki or me could even help organizing it.

That would be very kind of you. I shall speak to my leader about it. For now you should look on the event page for the post I made (should be at the top) and if you would like to view the custom map just PM me and I can send you the map and it's hight code. :)

I'll happily sticky the new Official Event when you got the thread up. Don't forget to post about it in the main NW section too.

If this event works I will be more than happy to make more big maps based off battles for the events. I started with this battle though because out regiment is Finnish and my commander requested it.

Make proper maps then. The one showed above is more than just horrible. Unnaccatable for an offical event.

Without trying to be a dick, I have to say that Olafson is right in this. If you want to get people interested with new official scenes, make good onces. Or just use mod scenes.

In what ways is it horrible? I have very limited models to work with and it was what my commader wanted for the event he wanted to produce.

I don't want to judge a map until in-game for myself.
I think it looks fine dunno what about the map would be horrible.

It is my first public map (I have made many training maps before and other maps for my reg) and it is based directly of photographs I was sent so it's the best I could do in 3 days. Obviously I am limited on models but I'll be making a new historic map every so often so hopeful with more time I will get better. It would be nice if people could tell me what was wrong with it though after the battle. Would like to improve it over time. :D

I beg to differ :P A mod is only dead when the developers and the players have abandoned it completely...

My regiment goes to an event with around 40 people like 3-4 times a week. The game is pretty alive on that kind of side.

Well there are still many events that happen a lot of the time on the game. The TRF event is amazing every few times a week. Also now my regiment is having a small event every Saturday that is official.

1. none of you even tried to sign up for the event and play on the map, instead you spend your time moaning about people not creating events... 2. I don't see anyone else trying to make fun non standard events in order to keep people playing the game... Why don't you spend your time learning how to create maps then produce better maps of your own and not complain about others without even given tips on how to improve it. 3. I don't see anyone else trying to make lots on new events and doing everything in their power to keep this mod alive. If people spent even a little time, like our regiment or the TRF, trying to get more players and producing an event nearly every day then this game would still have an active community. But all I see is cancelled events and people complaining because they haven't been given the most perfect amazing game in the world, for free, instantly. People on the internet need to learn how to be a little more human and become less selfish!

First of all it is not moaning... it's pointing out a fact that nobody at any point has told me what is wrong about the map and have just insulted it. They then go on to complain about there never been any events for this game and it's not fun. This is like people starving to death on I island then a ship washes up with food but everyone complains that the food is crap and go on to sit around complaining instead of actually getting up and looking for food.

I can take criticism on my map, I certainly know it isn't the best map in the world but what I can't take is this mods "community" of people just complaining without even trying to help in anyway. And another reason why I am slightly upset with how everyone has reacted is because there is two types of criticism. The first is one where you tell me where I went wrong with the map and help me slowly develop it in order for it to become better for everyone (this goes for the people on a whole with this mod not just my map. The second is where you just insult it and complain which helps nobody and is taken as you just attacking it in order to get an emotional response. (again how people have reacted to this mod.) And if you don't understand this then you obviously lay in the second category.

Complaining and counter complaining over complaints reguarding custom maps really isn't constructive in getting people interested in Iron Europe guys.

You are correct. I am sorry. Let's just focus on producing lots of ideas on how to make this mod popular again!

I would say Dev's need to make some siege maps, I feel it's the best mode for this mod. I don't know why all ppl think after conquest got so much hate on NW ppl would think it would be a good idea for this mod  ::)

I have 4 siege maps I played around with, If u want play around with them your self let me know  ;)

This is pure awesome but not going to lie, kinda a little scared this might put my arty division out of business (not fully bit to some extent for now). Would it be possible to allow the arty officer to call in arty as well? Also are you going to continue to develop artillery and add new stuff for players to use? As I said been a leader of a arty squad I would hate to think this will screw us over. :P

Well, it's a work in progress, and I'm sure he works on a cool down to keep it balanced. Once again we are still balancing many things. I've been suggested to re-balance the amount of grenades and the dmg it causes

Would it be possible at all to have an option for servers to change this stuff? In events I haven't seen much balancing problems. But I don't know the mab engine so don't know how this works.
Title: Re: Let's gets the ball rolling again!
Post by: Betaknight on April 16, 2014, 01:14:49 am
Well, main problem is that Grenades = OP. You can literally go around and throw them and get 5 kills. In events that is.

Wasn't that why they were invented? I suppose the times ones give everyone time to run, maybe the instant ones could do with a balance. :P It would be epic (don't worry I know this is impossible due to the engine) If they made limbs fly off and the medic has to drag them to safety. :P

Great zombie jesus that looks amazing, might want to have a couple (like 10 at least) second delay before the artillery actually hits, should be about making enemies too scared to advance or making a continuous bombardment on an entrenched position, not sniping the enemy :P

Still need the ability to sprint.
Title: Re: Let's gets the ball rolling again!
Post by: lolman1c on April 20, 2014, 01:10:48 pm
I think the sprint would be an interesting thing and would help a lot when running across trenches and building, if under fire. I was wondering though if it is possible (don't worry not demanding it just suggesting this in a future update once everything is done) for the ability to prone? I know this would help a lot for LMG's and other things.

My personal opinion on why that many people are not playing the mod anymore is simple, laziness. Many people are lazy to constantly update their mod. I know the patches have been quite spread apart but people are just too lazy to actually check forums and see if there was a new update. I'm hoping that IE get back some events but I am still glad that the devs of IE are still working hard on the mod. Also the off map artillery looks quite interesting.

True, I had to dowload about 1GB to get the latest version (couldn't find my original 1.00 version), and that was a pain. I suppose that you should probably be expecting regs/clans to play, where people actually encourgae each other to try the mod.
