The State of eRep
Sean MacDiarmata
Hello,
I wanted to gauge the response to the new battle mod. With V2 they brought a lot of potential to the game but so many time's the admin's chose the easy route and caved into demand and back tracked. They brought in Skills...now gone, they brought in a new battle mod...now gone...they brought in new productivity points...now gone or changed beyond recognition.
The one part of V2 that I like was the new battle mod, it wasn't perfect but it added a little strategy to the game and they could have (as CelticTiger211 put it) tweaked it a bit to make it more enjoyable for all concerned but they as usual chose the easy route and went back to the wall, just with a tiny...minute change. The main problem's people had haven't been fixed...i.e the very flawed political system and the shocking level of PTO's currently affecting a decent number of countries to name just two.
They say "we are bringing in new countries" why when they can easily be pto'ed and destroyed before they even get up and running. I simply cant understand what the admin's are doing and I guarantee i'm not the only one, they say they are making changes to a number of things and put us through an eRecession world wide and for what....what has V2 given us bar bankrupting a high number of GM's and making a very high number of old school players and new one's alike leave.
I can imagine a shareholders meeting at the AGM for eRep "you've done what now...reverted back to the previous game and it cost us how much and lost how many people?" there will be a lot of annoyed people at that meeting and I hope there is because there is thousands of annoyed eRep players who have been to hell and back with this game and no end in sight.
Thanks for reading my piece about the changes...hopefully the admin's actually do what's right for the game not the one's who complain the most.
Regards,

old military module just need some minor adjustments.
Newb friendly, proper damage calculations, more utility and less gold promotion.
Very disappointed with this new system but I'll still give is a shot.
The changes themselves aren't so bad, I just hate they keep making changes.
Because most of us are addicted we will keep playing anyway no matter what changes they force on us. This is a shame because the V2 war module actually rocks when you got used to it.
I really like the mood of admins. They are getting back and still call it as 'improvement'.
Btw, what happens when there is noone to fight?

Lots of questions yet to be answered but I'm looking forward to the new module. To their credit they seem to have come up with something appealing in a short space of time.
I like how they've worked to break down the battle into micro achievements..... doing that in the Risings flash battleground would have made things alot better for casual players.
I think rl Ireland will have conquered Iceland before they add it to the game! 😞
Ive fought more than 20 times gaining over 6k influence and havent lost once including fighting twice barehanded
The loss of the V2 war mod saddens me. For the first time teamwork and coordination mattered.
Now it's jump head first at the wall again... V2 was personal and fun (IMHO) I'll miss it.
I'll miss it...
Current "New" War module is not V1 "Wall" war module... it is an old BETA -2008 PvP. war module (with small improvements).
Older than V1...I didn't think it possible, thanks for the heads up Hannibal
Those changes and rollbacks are going from one end to another, they should've trimmed it just a bit.
I hope those who whined about going back on V1 are now satisfied, but prolly I doubt that because that's not in their nature.
Trying to please everyone and end up pleasing no one at all. Ugh.
Trying to please everyone and end up pleasing no one at all. Ugh. x2
Trying to please everyone and end up pleasing no one at all. Ugh. x3
Fuck the wall!!!
Give back V2
Trying to please everyone and end up pleasing no one at all. Ugh. x4
The admins worked themselves into a ditch with V2 and now they think they can patch up things and that things will be alright. There's other issues that seriously need to be addressed, like the multi and bot thing we've been dealing with for, oh I don't know, TWO YEARS. 6 new nations? 6 new Phoenix puppets. Bravo Admins. Great foresight. I seriously think they're just scrambling to keep people from leaving and all they're doing is making them leave faster. Being in eRep now is basically like watching a ship sink. There's a part of me that's along for the ride to see the last gurgle. XD
Cant agree more with this article i miss v2 very very much i actually hate this military module and i am still mad that they took away time management
It is slow, I sat for 15 minutes here at the library after hitting the fight button...
