Title: My rant on reviving the NA community
Post by: Chantakey on June 13, 2018, 06:31:40 pm
If this is in the wrong area just move it to where it needs to be, thanks!

Regimental play would be fine if it wasnt the same 15 players jumping around 3 different groups, either double regging, mercing 24/7, or following the hype.  Causes regiments to not want to recruit anymore and train their own skill to the way they'd like.  I get its a struggle, but 75th/5th didn't get to the top with nobodies without training our ass of and have a drive to continue winning and this community has lost it because people don't want to take the time to train people or hype their players up.  They just want either the hype regiment, or they want mercs/double reggers to fill their attendance.  Instead of relying on other regiments and a hype.  Go recruits some people bring people to the game, bring old players back, bring an enjoyment of actually beating another regiment back.  Playing again I feel as if its nothing more than just beating the same group cuz I literally see the same fucking players in every regiment I've faced.  Go back to the way it was make people actually recruit again then the game has a chance of revival.  All of this mercing/double regging is doing nothing but killing it by causing reg leaders to never bring in new players.  This game is ass without a group to play with and we all know it.  So of course no new players are going to come when its nothing but elitist saying they can't join their regiment because they aren't good enough and or don't have time to teach them to be better.  5th started with 60-100 active players, cut it down to 30 by finding the ones who wanted to play and get better and constantly teaching them.  THEN WHOOPS 2 NA TITLES AND ONE OF THE BEST REGS WAS BORN.  So you elitist fucks get off your damn high horse, bring some people back to the game like it used to be,  I see many MANY non reggers in the game, but ive heard it from MULTIPLE regiment leaders, "We don't have time to train them"  but like bitches yall got 5 off days you can train some guys that want to be better, and if you don't wanna send em my way, or get someone in your regiment because I promise there is one person in there who wouldn't mind training them.  Well im done with my rant for the day good day young lads.

I like this quote ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The question I ask myself is why are you even on these forums if you don't play the game anymore?

You're moment of "fame" was when you came back to lead a group of mercs for one game after being inactive for who knows how long just to be able to say you were able to win a tournament against a group of players that were on the edge of quitting for good, all for a small amount of money. Also, aside from Bill, you have one of the worst attitudes in the community, if you are even still in it lol, so I would like to ask you to stay off my thread.

And I don't need you to take the list seriously, just like how I've never taken you seriously.

Post here again and I will get a mod, and seeing what happened to Bill for shit posting here, I would be smart this time if I were you.

This is something the 6te did for a long time, culminating in winning the last NANWL, which most of the opposition in that league still probably don't give us credit for. Unfortunately the NA community is as dead as I have ever seen it, and no I'm not one of those people who say the games dead every few months, it's just an unfortunate fact of NA now, and being EU I have little time to recruit or do other things outside of events. We would all love to see his happening, but the player base is too small and the reward for recruitment sessions are not there.

Yes it is though lol, I've gone and had players not no what regiments are and introduce them in the time I've been back, so recruiting is there and its always been hard you just have to have the commitment.

Yes AEF is one of the few regiments doing that and its great, but me leaving has nothing do to with it, I went somewhere that was going to make myself happy and create a new competitive group on NA.

NA is frankly dead chant. Yes, there are still some pub players but the amount of new and existing players is dropping like a rock. So, of course you’ll see the problems you mentioned. Your own reg of the 24e is literally just recycling players who scattered to different regs after 93rd disbanded

Yes some of our players are, but we're trying to bring new players and players who used to play and want them to return.  Instead of people just double regging, find players that quit and maybe can find love for the game again like i did.

Exactly and thats the issue but the biggest problem is as long as double regging is popular you don't need to train people thats why it needs to end. for the community aone not just for competitive reasons.  Yes I started double regging as a thing in leagues, and now I think about it it was a terrible thing.

That is what me and Epix are trying to do in the HRE. We are trying to bring new players who have only experienced public events and line battles and make them into a group that is familiar with a more competitive scene in the community. I can agree with your statement of elitist hopping over to any reg that is the most stacked. Double regging or stacking yourself with mercs in any 1v1 or groupfight in my opinion kills the community. Bringing 1 merc to fill someone spot is fine or so or having someone try your reg out is fine but when your super stacking it with anyone you can find to double reg for you or merc for you then it isn't fine. I also find that the people who say oh well community is dead or who cares are typically the people who are begging to double reg or merc. The regiments that won NANWL or the other big 1v1 or group fighting leagues were not regiments that used double regging and mercs. They actually developed there own community to make it there.

Under those circumstances I was under no intentions on bringing the mercs. There was a call to do so but under other leadership circumstances. I personally did not appreciate that there was a call to do that but I didnt have the intentions of doing it. I had a long discussion with other leaders in the HRE on it and we arnt going to be doing that again. I apolgoize for what the HRE did in that groupfight and I suspect it wont be happening again. I just putting my want and desire that I want the HRE Imperial Guard to be and do.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. I don't mean to be pessimistic, just realistic.

The game has always had a growth cycle in which alot of players will get on/come back for the summer, and proceed to drop the game in the months after.

Summer Break has always had a pretty big impact.

Chances of the game's population going up again died when NA1 died in my opinion. Used to be able to get the population up close to full at nights, now it's always dead. New players don't go on groupfighting, and they probably don't even know the forums exist. As the game is right now it's super unapproachable.

Honestly I think the game started to die a lot faster with the death of Na1 and NaGF because sure there weren't a ton of players but there still was a good community that wanted to get on and play with some randoms and friends. Its a shame coming back to the game and servers are all dead. And understandably people grow up, we all did.

Yeah there are tons of people playing bot survival, commander battle, and zombie survival. People like playing against bots cause it's easy. There are people from the BBG discord making their own "Regiments" and attend events sometimes.

You're more than welcomed to recruit on bot survival but usually you get a pretty negative response. I try to encourage people to join fse from our discord but people frankly don't care.

NA community cant possibly be revived because they have no pub brawlers. now pub brawlers derive from the early 9th century. the quality of brawlers have been from the irish decent, up until the 19th century when the english "belly boys" lashed a massive 4 pinter glass and Mcullens head (5 times champion brawler) he died immediately. from this day on the english took command of the competition. The NA will never accomplish such a feet.

I read the op but not the replies so sorry if I'm repeating points already made but, from an (old) EU perspective, the community is stale, and recruitment is dead. Sadly, the game is no longer in its heyday. There is no longer a huge pool of recruits to be found on public servers; the days of taking in fresh people and training them up is long gone (I'm sure there are anectodal examples to the contrary but it's nowhere near on the same scale). What we're stuck with is a situation where everybody knows everybody, we all know who the good players are, and many of them hop regiments depending on what's popular at that moment.

There have always been flavour of the month regiments with good rosters that don't last long, but over the years these seem to have become the norm rather than the exception. I know you titled this as a rant, and while a lot what you said is spot on, there doesn't seem to be a way of fixing this problem of a lack of new talent. As the years go on, the community gets smaller and smaller, leaving the hardcore players who have invested a lot of time in the game. It's why groupfighting teams are so prevelant now, when back in the day it was all about regiments. Gone are the days of regiments that had both roleplay and competitive elements down. It's now usually one or the other. I must say that the regiment I'm in, the 33rd, does manage to balance the two but a regiment with the 33rd's longevity and size is rare. Starting a regiment in 2019 with "no-name" recruits is basically impossible - back in 2012-14 it was very achievable, sheerly due to the number of pub players who were willing to try joining a regiment. The only chance new regiments have now is to recruit already established players - who tend to be less loyal and are happy to jump to the next big thing once you start losing.

The solution? I don't think there is one. It's an old game, with far fewer players than there used to be. So I think all we can do now is to appreciate each other for sticking with this game for so long, respect each other's achievements and just have a nice time playing the game we all love, until something new and exciting (hopefully) comes along and gives the community a much needed new lease of life.

That's very well said. I find that pubs just want to play super duper casually, and yea almost every CR says they'll find a way to get more pubs involved and what have you but in the end they're all happy and we want to grow regiments to keep it interesting. I hope BCOF will be a good time and New players will join.

I'm a nobody but I got to say this if really wanted to "revive" this game we could. Their is nothing but a few rules that is stopping us from spamming everywhere possible with links to this game nothing stopping us going on mount and siege and spamming to buy NW(well other than getting banned but their EU and we are NA so might as well do it) We got raise money and pay a youtuber who doesn't play these type of games to play it and give his viewers a cheap copy somehow. We could up vote memes on reddit about the game. Make NW cheaper we spam the reviews on the game to links with keys for the game for cheaper so more people might buy it. Try to somehow get young kids into old games for fuck sake Minecraft is taking off again why can't we(other than that minecraft had a super huge following in the beginning). Another youtube thing is that this game still has a decent amount of views on videos of NW go look at the newest comments and link them the game. Also we can be like those small game combines on discord and spam the game over massive servers and do discord raid bots telling people to buy the game and maybe link a good video. There is things we can do but will we do them ? (oh and we could go on sale during the non sales big sales periods that always brings in a decent amount of players)

Like you're not wrong.

But the main thing is that taleworlds decides when the game goes on sale and for how much. it's not fse, and from what I've heard taleworlds doesn't really listen about pricing.
