Max honor cap at 30-39 bg = Crusader

Max honor cap at 40-49 bg = Elite Crusader

Max honor cap in 50+ bg = Lord Divine

You’re not seeing ICs in 39, or anything above crusader if that. Don’t make stuff up on the fly to try to sway people or form a nonexistent argument.

^ That, I do very well agree, is complete and utter crap.

I’ve taken note for quite some time now of the developer’s (or would it be r2, or both, anywho someone) money gathering strategy (which has and apparently is still working for this to continue) in terms of server opening/merging/etc. Basically;

1. Open ‘base’ server. It’s open for quite some time, long enough for who’s who to be established, and long enough for anyone new coming in who wants to be up the top a bit being unable to simply because others have played longer (monthly events with mounts, that kind of stuff, free or cashed, doesn’t matter much).

2. Open second server, so those familiar with the game wanting a ‘fresh start’ and a chance to play knowing everything from ‘day one’ and also have money to throw down to get there while they can (this supported by devs/r2 in that spending a certain amount of money within 7 or so days of new server obtains the underworld steed (or whatever it’s called, the one that was available again from the recharge/spending event recently for 500USD) when people tend to not get to level 40 or beyond that quickly if they aren’t doing the above anyway, which most are).

3. Both end up half active/not full capacity/taking up space for r2 and essentially ‘wasting money’. Merge, and give awards for the new top 10 or whatever they are, prodding people to spend even more to stay on top – the very thing those on the base server as well as the newer one had already spent much to do to begin with.

4. Repeat.

I’m not saying it’s idiocy on behalf of those who spend due to gaming being their hobby anyway, nor am i saying for anyone to use their funds differently just because i said so…i’m saying it’s kind of insulting and blatantly money-hungry to use this tactic endlessly then provide sub-par customer support, especially when regards to issues for money spent/recharged anyway. Non-optimised loading/server-side issues not being addressed, but all of the above is like clockwork while the real core issues go unresolved. The longetevity of Wartune while under r2 publishment for english servers is highly questionable.

Money talks, but if anything bottoms out I’m going to watch to see if anyone of note finds work elsewhere. It’s more depressing than infuriating.

^ Might have something to do with the issue of people trying to log on during the checks and city moving/merging/all that. Could get a bit problematic for whoever’s doing the work – I play on 6 so I haven’t tried the remaining button for 7, but it says ‘coming soon’ so odds are they’re doing 7/10 then 5/6 later tonight/into the morning.

Derp.

^ you gonna keep being negative with lots of your posts as a venting outlet or can we perhaps have a bit of regular discussion around here?

Yes, people that pay money may indeed get things others don’t. That doesn’t mean ‘free’ players aren’t valued, but if they implement an event such as this, the hardcore gamers/cashers that have gaming as their hobby (notice how there’s a fair string of ‘older’ players on wartune, and it’s not all just 16 year olds?) might have income to spend on it like they would anything else. The mount strength competition is, well, a competition, and a LOT of wartune’s content ends up being pay to convenience/have it right now, or wait and get it free or for a reduced cost later on. The competition is where the market is, and it gets really annoying to see people whine and whine about stuff being charged for, duh the developers/etc will do that, hard pressed to find any game that doesn’t.

The worst (or best, from your viewpoint i suppose) thing you could do to show you dislike how they treat ‘free’ players? quit. if anyone asks about the game? tell them how you feel about it. or keep playing, and not get anything done you say you want to.

‘slave mount’? seriously? disregarding the issue of how that would probably make it a free mount with lots of tedious/no life work, you’re getting a bit extreme for someone who doesn’t feel strongly enough to stop playing over it.

From the numbers available, this isn’t even a ‘regular’ cash mount. this is a CASH mount, so it’s not like this is ‘oh well recharge 5 dollars here you go hahaha freebies’, and a lot of other stuff they do is like that too.

In the offchance you actually try to have an argument for whining like a child about not getting what you want, just in case you’re like other people who’ve done this: no, I’m not a server top player or a person who’s put hundreds into the game. More like 70 dollars total.

If there’s no more than 1 medallion per chest, I’ll just use this opportunity to keep upping some clothing. More free clothing for me, not fussed about missing out on a mount. If I was that into mounts I’d have no issue paying for this one either. :)

^ Try getting level 41. Total honor is capped according to certain level, I couldn’t go beyond Elite Crusader after 48, and after jumping to 50, was still unable – only after 51. May be the same lower down the ladder.

Topic: BigHeadBash / Bug Reports

Assuming these still get read: I’ve been casually playing for a bit now here on Kong, my username in the game is GhostHost. I was doing a CTF a few minutes ago and while things were moving along normally, when I killed someone of the opposing team and their health was depleted/healthbar was gone, I received the purple bits for xp, but i still had my weapon firing (smg) due to other stuff going on in the area, typical game action. the shots that hit the guy I had just killed seemed to ‘re-kill’ him indefinitely, his healthbar gone, and xp POURING out of him. I say pouring as every hit provided it, though I was killed shortly after killing him. I typed a reaction in game chat but no other plays said anything (before so, or the rest of the match…), and the ‘target’ this happened with had nothing to say at any point.

It hasn’t happened again, nor do i have a screenshot of it midway as I was too confused/already trying to not die to fumble for the keys. Every ‘kill’ onthe target i mentioned giving xp was also registered on the scoreboard; i have a capture of that if it’d help anything.
