Dear NordInvasion Community!
I've played nordinvasion for a long time now, almost from the beginning.
In the beginning, the time of the Knights, my intention was to get as far as I could, we killed the Prince with a lot of luck, one time, I can remember, we got 'til Thor on Beach Assault and a bit later there has been a patch in which Swadian City was a very good map, you could solo Thor there as an archer. One time we got til Odin on Swadian City but we failed completely. We got 'til there because we had a resurrection tome and me as knight so we blocked the ways to our camping spot with many many horses and the enemies came one by one.
Legendaries only played a minor role in those times, the main goal was to get until the last wave, because it was something special.
After Knights had been removed, no team got really far, only on events sometimes and at one special patch one one special map: Great Hall. There Odin was defeated the first time as far as I know.
But the rest of the time we failed at Jotnes or Thor, something at those waves.
Here my intention was to get as far as I could and beat Odin or at least Thor if possible. It was still something special.
But nowadays I have to say that the only aim of many players is killing Odin and his horse as fast as possible, getting the chance of loot, joining another server with Fortress under Siege or Offshore and doing that another time and another time to get a legendary drop. Some players are lucky and find one or more, some other players aren't but that's not the point. Finishing the last wave of hard mode became too easy.
After a time doing this again and again becomes very boring and you are almost forced to do the same to keep up to the rest of the players. You just "farm" Odin's legendaries with no other reason except getting legendaries. I'm sure that's not just me.
My suggestions:
- nerf maps until they are comparable with the first version of the old swadian village (large open field only with a "bad" camping spot)
- improve the usefullness of barricades by increasing their hit points and armor protection and maybe add new kinds of them
- force us to build our own fortress with barricades
- increase the drop chance for legendaries on later waves in hard mode
--- Make killing Odin something special again!
All these are my personal impressions of the current situation and my own opinions but I'm sure there are many other players who share my thoughts.
Please give me some feedback and post some custructive criticism to make these ideas realistic.
Thanks for your attention,
Drunken Monkey
