I haven't played normal mode for a while so i can't talk about that. But I don't like what i see in hard mode. 90% of the time i play alone or in small group because most of the players want to play city and hide in the gate (archers get the most kills and since you cant spam the depolyable shield you need more shielders which means that archers get even more kills because 90% of the meele guys needs to shield or heal). When i was on a server with 2 other guys after a while we became like 10 players and me and a few of us was in the middle of wave 6 on village or beach or something. It was like 3 polls for City till then and all got denied, but i had the feeling everybody who joined started a new poll. Sometimes (not this time) they even blame you for not accepting the poll because you are a noob and don't want to get the most exp you can get. Then the fourth poll got accepted and we move to city where everyone hided in the gate. And thats not what i want NI to be about. I mean why do you want to get better items and levels if you will anyway hide in a gate just to get more items, exp and gold? Oh and when its not City everyone rambo into the nords and get killed in the first two waves most of the time while only 2-4 players who work together and help each other get to wave 4 and kill the boss. After respawn everyone but those 2-4 players rambo into the nords again and then starts polling to get to their gate where they can farm exp.
This all was maybe a bit OT, but i think its part of the problem. Why are there so many archers? because when deployable-shield-spamming was still possible you need only 2 meele guys and 1 healer and 13 archer to get to wave 8 or 9 and die there because the map got bugged. Since there is no more shieldspamming they still don't get it that nord invasion is not about hiding behind shields and farm exp. But i still hope that it will get better. The devs did some really good work with the last patches. The took away most of the camping spots (bad part about this is that now there is one map that is played 95%). They stopped shieldspamming which sadly didn't stopped players camping... I hope they will go on with this and shut the gate down. I know everyone but a small number of players will rage against this, but for me its the only way to show ppl that its not about camping and farming, but about working as a team, that does not mindless charge the nords. But till the day when most of you realized that i will continue playing alone or with few until those who poll join the server again.
Sorry for the wall of text. Don't worry you don't need to read it, because you won't agree with me anyway and nothing will change. And sorry for my shitty english and my kind of randomly shuffled argumentation.
