Petition to not add Troll

Status
Not open for further replies.
I have never liked troll because it is REALLY annoying when playing against but it is needed. Orcs don't really have another tanky class to replace troll and without trolls the orc team would get nothing done and loose most games

Something that could be changed is to make the trolls slighlty stronger but make the amount of people that can use them less. That would be more realistic although I'm not sure how it would affect gameplay.
 
Trolls add interest to the game. Trolls add uniqueness to the game. Trolls force teamwork during the game. To never add troll again would be to strip Empire War of its identity... To leave it a shell of what it once was, a sad remnant of its colorful past. If trolls are as big a nuisance as you claim (I wouldn't really know, as nine out of ten times I play on their team xd) then by all means, balance them out with one of the aforementioned options, or a new one as Tim tends to do... But please add it. And not only troll; classics like Nazgul (yes I know, but Naz is as deeply rooted to EW as troll) Crossbow, Hammerer (despite my hatred of them) and even... *gulp* even Mage will do so much more to restore our wonderful server to what it once was.

I agree with you a bit, but when it gets to the point where 10 trolls are camping a flag it forces quitting players more than anything. Smaller limit for em and I agree.
 
It took like 9-11 arrows to kill a troll on average and with bows limited to 16 arrows adding trolls back (the way they were) isn't a great idea. Especially with the very small maps now. Not only this but playing melee vs trolls was just not a fun experience and almost bottlenecked you to play archer if you wanted to carry the defending team.
 
Or just add an axeman class good for bashing down gates.
Kind of like dward hammerer, but slower and less armour.
Either an Uruk Axeman for the Orcs and Axeman for The Mannish Nations.

I like that, especially considering that uruk axemen were canon and some of Isengard's elite troops. (They slew Theodred at the fords of Isen)

Perhaps we could see the return of the dreaded reaver?

Yeah, besides it would be way more believable since having like 5 people charging around being trolls when there are like 30 people on the isengard team aint very legitimate. But I thoroughly agree with [user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/DimitriP_13421/74.png" name="DimitriP_13421"]8861015[/user] on the Hero Class idea. But Idk since Hero Classes were removed I think.

(Also, gg for stealing my idea Szuc..)

What idea did I steal? The fact that my suggestion was an axeman? Axeman is a fairly common concept, and my idea had nothing to do with a troll replacement or bashing gates. I could just as easily have named it something different x.x

As I said on your suggestion, its just a bit suspicious how you come up with the idea 6 hours after I put it forward.
 
I feel like Troll should be nerfed, or have a class on the opposing team which is basically equal to it, and definitely limit the number of trolls. Possibly 1/8 of the Orcs can be Trolls, or maybe that's a bit much. 24 people, so 2 Trolls and 2 other-team-OP-class.
 
My original plans were to add "Hero Tokens" somewhere in the map that appear after 5 minutes, then 5 minutes after the hero of that team dies, etc. These tokens would be 1 per team, so each team would have a "Hero". For red, that would usually be a troll, for blue that could be something like Legolas, Gimli or Aragorn. This mechanic is similar to the one on Star Wars Battlefront. These heroes would be very strong (able to easily win a 2v1), but since they're limited and each team has one, they should be fine.

Anyways, these were just ideas and I'm still not sure whether or not I will actually implement this.

"How am i gonna make a great gameplay addition..? let´s take a look at the best game this decade, Battlefront EA."

Im certain it would work much better on EW tho, will they spawn on a number of different locations or will they always spawn on the same place? people might camp them.
