Inter-realm "Communication"

[valancian]

Something Ive noticed in my short time on RoR is the absolute hatred that exists between Order and Destro players. I haven't seen a lot of it on the forums but in game there's nothing but **** talk and back handed insults thrown from both sides. Sometimes during a stalemate i like to start a conversation with the Order or anyone in general in the /S chat. Its typically responded to with detest.

That's not to say all players are rolled in this toxicity. I've actually made an order friend who's even on my Friends list even though im Destro. Mephistoxxx. He's pretty good people and one of the few who i actually enjoy meeting on the battlefield. (I main a magus and he is a witch hunter, he b-lines for my ass the moment he knows im on the battlefield and its always good fun trying to take him down.)

But still, I've played A LOT of mmorpgs but Ive never seen such a crazy diversity between the factions. Every game has **** talk but i mean wow. Maybe its just that the "bad apples" talk more and so its all i notice, that's typically the tendency when it comes to a topic like this. Any thoughts?

We support a healthy level of aggression in-game. The factions should certainly hate each other, provided the insults are not personal or explicit in nature of course. We regularly deal with players who cross that line, just contact a GM.

Suppose since im so new i maybe haven't acclimatized to the "healthy level of aggression" lol. Guess its just my sort of Talkative friendly nature was like "holy shiz" when i experienced it. good to know though that the GMs handle the line crossers though, thanks for informing me.

When on order I say that I'm da greenezt! And a lot of greenskins get angry!

That's weird I've had the opposite experience for the most part. Most of the hate I've gotten has been from my own realm, and I've gotten a lot of compliments from my opponents. I've given a lot of compliments out too, mostly in the vein of "you are pro! Most can't kill me nearly so quick!"

Maybe it's because I main healer?

Different people, different experiences i suppose. As for the healer bit, maybe lol. I find ArchMages are the most annoying to kill but any healer with enough skill is a god in a 1v1 or even 1v2. Takes a general gang bang of damage to kill healers a lot of the time lol.

I feel the opposite. This game has an awesome level of sportsmanship amongst the players. You just have to get to know people! /wave to those you recognize, from either side. If someone makes a great play, shoot em a Pm saying so. Again, to either side. If ofc, that is what you wish, or want from the playerbase as well.

Especially NA time. There's only a couple hundred active players, you kinda get to know quite a LOT of people. And even when they smash my face in, I get gg tells.

But yes. There is a lot of smack talk. /say in ORvR can be hilarious, or tedious. Always remember that you can filter chat channels and ignore people. So if you don't want to read something or someone; Don't.

It depends a lot of the class you play as well in my experience. I get lots of friendly tells and banter when playing my zealot or DoK, but when I play my WH... the angry tells I get a lot of the time... lol. Can't imagine how bad it gets for the WHs that are actually good at the class.

People rage a lot when you kill them.

I love fighting against witch hunters, mostly because of the experience my friend Mephisto i mentioned earlier has given me. its made me watch my back and Ive learned good little tidbits about what to do while fighting them. Use my slow, make distance try not to stop for too long to cast if i don't have a lot of help around cause the moment i do its game over lol. As i said i main a Magus, and its gotten me no lack of hatred. I picked it not only cause it was interesting, but so many people talked **** about it saying it was a horrible class i wanted to black sheep and try my hand at it. Now its not only one of my favorite classes. i get bitched at for "Playing and OP class that takes no skill" when 5 minutes ago people were telling me magus is awful? One thing i love though is i know im doing good when im getting focused first over healers and other ranged DPS, happens so often.

I get nothing but friendly messages from all the order I come across!
