THETA and META

[NSKaneda]

May I point dark elves didn’t even have tank and greenskins lacked mdps meaning mix groups was the only way at release.

There is nothing wrong with running a pure grp if you want or role play but please just dont say it being what devs intended.

Unless you can provide us with a source ofc

4 classes and 4 cities were cut out on launch because of EA's rushed premiere (Choppa, Hammerer, KOTBS and BG). As for racial grps and MJ thoughts on them there are still interviews to be found on the web

Is this a Advice thread asking for which are the best setups on both sides?
Is this a Balance thread asking to change X and Y for Z class/faction?
Is this just a whine thread?

I really don't know...

Its a "General Discussion", with maybe some positive side effects as outcome.
Thats at least what I see

Yeah but OP pointed out that maybe people should try more THETA groups, and we ended up talking about racial warbands? Again? Why?

edit: OP didn't say "try more THETA". He said the opposite

Because it's a thing and RoR is not so epeen-obsessed as WAR so that we can actually try it out and run it?

[Penril]

It wasn't a thing in WAR for 4 out of 5 years. It was never a thing in RoR, and I am 99% it never will be. It has been stated a bazillion times in the past by different staff members that RoR does not care about racial warbands.

So how exactly is it a thing?

Yeah but OP pointed out that maybe people should try more THETA groups, and we ended up talking about racial warbands? Again? Why?

Because OP initially opened discussion by including 3rd Bitterstones, and now 3 pages later we disussed High Elf racial potential, and of last page Dark Elf racial potential.
Maybe some of us would actually love to try out racial roleplaying warbands, provided they had some decent synergy left?

It's not a nerf this or buff that whine thread, we're discussing what could have been or what could be, if we had certain aspects of game left intact that allowed for more diverse warband gameplay potential instead of contemporary cookie cutter builds with the latest fotm.

Mixed wbs was there from day one racial wbs wasn’t even possible. Optimal wbs was mixed wbs (day one - shutdown)

There are no sources MJ or other supporting the racial wbs claim (time to drop it or prove it).

There were races and zone themes as can be expected in a fantasy setting.

There were racial morale gain tactics on PARTY level (never WB level) but even an emp could slot the % from stunties tactic or +% damage on greenskin. Tbh not much proof for anything and a lot of those renown tactics are quite frankly odd (pve crap etc).

Having that said feel free to make pure wbs or grps and have fun but please stop pushing it as devs intended it.

I for one would love highelf wb's. Elfs are allways the last on my kill quests.
Easier paragons

I could see this as a "Event" one or 2 times a year, that over the weekend players can only group with others who play a character of the same race. (Only in Lakes). Would be fun for one or 2 days, but then it will also become pretty clear, that it would not be good for the server if its longer than some days for the funsies. PS: let the Dwarfs stand in the first row
