EVERYONE ON W2 LISTEN TO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're in the process of devising a rewards system for quests which will likely be applied in other areas of the game as well, including rewarding the members of the Houses which have won Glory Rounds. I think that the members of the houses who have sat by and let H2 take round after round will be rather upset when they see all the cool stuff that they've been throwing away their chances at.

Yes, finally after one and half a year we'll see anything useful with glory race thing. Finally, because in half of worlds it will be after 10 rounds or even more anyway.

It's funny to hear guys whine about the CA. You'd be doing the exact same thing if the situation were reversed.

You lost and the victor makes the rules. Get over it.

Wait, I thought TCA were the protectors of all that is good, and anyone else is just evil. TCA is, and always has been, fair and just, and if anyone else had any power they would just bully everyone in this world.


In what world is it called whining to point out falsehoods spread by a group, and show that the group is trying to have it both ways? Oh yes, that would be world 2.

Countijumala, i disagree a lot, how could you say the CA were ALWAYS BAD. They were a freedom force once...

Also, what else is funny? NO ONE SAID A THING ABOUT WHAT THIS THREAD IS ABOUT. NOT EVEN YOU FIERFLY GUYS, if you all want to argue, do it on threads for arguing.

Some said it was a bad idea. What can we say to make it "on topic" for you?

The CA should have been forcefully disbanded by FF a long time ago.

Well, now see you cant do that, your suggestion will be screwing with game dynamics. Its a mmo for a reason, and if devs on any game start telling players how to play.. that game will die off fast.


IMO H2 just proves a point, that organized faction/house can or in another words lots of people working together can * the system. It has been done on soooo many other mmo's that's it already even boring to talk about.

Go on youtube and type in "Zombie in yulai" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnjK5EVsIfI

One faction screwing with game mechanics of EVE online. OLD vid, but I was there

Since devs left players option to form alliances, player did what they could do, and now here we are. Blaming TCA because they won isn't good for those who blame - it only shows that you are bad with it that it is not your alliance who won. In any MMO game there is always someone who's on winning side, and it's possible to change who's currently winning - only if players are organised enough to do this.
If you'd stop whining and crying, start playing you could do something. Best players I know does not read forums at all, they're just playing and winning.

Basically the game has a flawed mechanic, its hard enough with the AI, which attacks your villages almost daily (especially when you have a lot of villages) and it just becomes a chore to run it.
People just want to log on and play the fun aspects of the game and then log off, but you can't do that if you're in the middle of a war zone you constantly need to watch and rebuild your village, or have enough ID to defend yourself.
So people like to group together so they don't have to worry about losing their villages after spending weeks building them up, and that's where the problems occurs as there's no incentive for everyone not to group up and be friendly with each other, there's nothing stopping the whole server from doing that.

I am sure new players in this world 2 are going to appreciate that when someone points out that TCA has taken away the War aspects of this game in world 2 they characterize it as "whining, and crying", after they have spent 3-4 months building up before realizing that fact. I do not care about who "wins" but I do want to point out the fact that a few players are playing in a way that takes most of the game away from others for their own selfish reasons.

This is a war game, and people join this game to fight in wars. If you want to build things and never have to worry about getting things destroyed there are many other games that you can play instead of forcing that way on others here. If you just want to farm in this game even with many wars it is not that hard to do. I find it sad that because of a minority of selfish players in this world the others are forced to play farmville.

You can make the odds greatly uneven in just about any game, but the flaw will not be with the game, but the people that make the odds so uneven and take away any competition.

If 'the majority' join this game to war why are you then complaining that there is a huge target to war against?

End of the day, people get the worlds they want.

The Celtic Alliance TCA is as far as I know officially a group of 16 allied houses in world 2. There is one house that is neutral and 3 that are against TCA.


The houses that are against TCA are the bottom 3 in points right now:

house 10 with 301,559 points

House 13 with 132,810 points

House 5 with 356,996 points

None of these houses even has a county and only a few scattered parishes. With those numbers there are no "wars", what we have is a police world.


There is a lot of passive resistance, but nobody wants to make the first jump and end up with the world against them, and therefore few openly fight TCA. The world right now has 8,608 players on the leaderboard and is 520 days old.

I hope that the developers make it so that new players can easily see the world before joining. If they did they will see that this world has one house that controls all the countries and might have second thoughts of joining this one. Realistically the majority of players will not know that this world is very limiting until they have spent considerable time building up in rank.

They want to make it an us verses them issue, but it is a world Tyranny verses self rule issue.

Unlike some I do not think that firefly should get involved with the specific politics in this world, and I am confident that this world will go back to a normal one with many houses governed independently again.
