    Pretty sure everyone quit, and we were actually getting some fun top tier competition (although little of it) when some ex-GW players joined KoD and then later made their own clan I AM LEGEND. After the AotC patch where procs were buffed and itemization went whack, all the good, competitive players took off and the community has really dispersed.  I think people are still lingering giving Fury perhaps 1 more shot, but the gash is wide open and the game is bleeding badly. They can't even get the "new forums" up, so everyone is pretty much slowly forgetting this game ever happened.

    This is Statik by the way, I still visit the TPT vent every once in awhile, people still looking for something to play. The heck are you up to lately Faktor?

    I am just one of the old players.

    I think the game is pretty good. Fantastic and challenging. And of course I will go on.

    By the way, I found some other old players still stick in this game. We all support this game. Certainly, we dont just support this game:) Game is just for fun. Isn't it?

    The game is definately super fun, there is no doubt about it. Competition is high and definately war in on between clans. Like Heatedwindy here, there are lots of beta or should I say 'old' school players who still play the game, some have even created their own clans. You may find some of them in the top tiers in the ladder system. Part of the game is to be able to change and morph according to the battle you are facing, I guess what I'm saying is that people who have left probably couldn't handle the new competition due to the changes and have left, those who know how  to change with the times stayed and became even better players. The old clans have been forgotten, the new age is here to reveal better warriors.

    We all have standards to live up to, and those players who stayed are great  for people to use as a  benchmark.

    Thanks for stayin' :)

    p.s. the official Fury forums will be back up very soon, cya there!

    This couldn't be any further from the truth.

    After release, there were a select few of us that absolutely dominated everyone else to the point of boredom.  A lot of the talented players from Fury Challenege never made it to live and and the ones that did were bored to tears after the first month (myself included).

    We tried and tried to help the devs in beta, but they never wanted to listen and just insisted on pushing out an unfinished product with shoddy balancing.  I don't know whether it was lack of funding or lack of confidence from the developer base after their "500k participants" didn't show up for Fury Challenege, but Fury was doomed with the Auran developers at the helm.

    I stopped playing before AoTC simply due to a lack of competition, as did many others including the only professional team (SQL) that made it to live.

    Fury had the chance to be the biggest PvP game on the market, but all the combined factors working at Auran doomed it from the get go.

    Sorry, but from a person who loves the game and *currently* plays it to know what the playerbase is like, I totally contradict everything you have just now said. I am sorry to say this, but your clan and its players, yourself included have been forgotten by the majority. A new generation is here.

    I hope you do find a game you like. Good luck :)

    I guess im one still lingering to a shred of dying hope FURY makes a comeback. but not seeing it happening anytime soon. FORUMs still havent been put back up which means theres no real discussion between the devs and teh community in any ideal fashion. I noticed they still havent fixxed the cost of repairs which still to me seems a bit high and feels like u ll still need to buy gold in long run. Another massive fail in my eyes for FURY , also they did fix the procs on the gear a bit in last patch. I personally have only signed in to see the population here and there but havent seen much improvement post AoTC patch. I posted here a few weeks back askin if there were still any actual good original still playing or any ppl from the top original clans ... after one reply in one week i got my answer quickly. I also read somewhere on one of those MMO sites that sometime during the first 30 days after they filed chapt for bankruptcy that they were to be reassesed .. and another decision was to made at that time as to what to do as far as further liquidating and more. This could be another reason for lack of feedback from devs as well as the official site still not going up yet. its prolly been a bit hectic so ill give them atleast that much for lienency on this one.
    Now to Athenae ...... i ve trolled this forum a bit since they put this up as the unofficial forum on the site figuring more ppl would use this inbetween, <Mod edit>. As an original myself i have to say FURY has seen better days and now ill prove u wrong and why u shoulda been quiet while u were ahead.. and also before u get upset at jock riding comment know i was a supporter of fury for awhile as were most of the ppl u say are now forgotten but trust me BOSSMAN and them havent forgotten them ....as they now know how true we were when we told them what would really help their game.
    BB 71 rankd _ vortex 251 ranked_ Elim 107 ranked _ cross warzone 413 ranked ppl as of 11:46 am Est. pm january 23, 2008 ... Hardly the population pre AoTC patch and no where close to what was going on when FURY still had a chance while it was super bugged and leakin memory while not being able to be played in HR. image Oh and im sure theres a shit load of F2p chosen there but again ill go back to my statement on the forums from the official site... "u can bring a million new ppl to ur game but it doesnt mean they ll buy it ."
    Now again at Athenae i have to say time to put foot in mouth .. why u ask ... u may be still playing but die hard or hardcore players are gone , the statistics show this by ladder scores. Not to mention i looked at the clans including urs and u guys dont have near the ratings that Faktor ,Statikks, Hades clans had so maybe they are forgotten in FURY but remember most of the original founding clans in FURY came from other games like WoW , CoX, GW with already established players and clans that joined and therefore arent really forgotten by FURY... but rather forgotten by them, kinda like a past thought in the back of their minds. Because they knew and forsaw the massive fail months before it happened. Hence why faktor said he quit pre Aotc patch. Anyhow im not trying to single u out athenae but when i read ur replies in this post i was laughing so hard i couldnt resist especially when well like UR WRONG ... sorry had to point that out FURY is dying and will probably be dead soon , i was hoping for better but sometimes as it stated ... EASY COME EASY GO
    And now i will just finish with askin ppl like Faktor and Statikk and any other REAL originals that have competitive guilds or clans what games u ppl are playing , ive been trying to find a new one [ back to GW and Exteel mainly for PC online myself as of recent ] to get into, ive been on my xbox 360 or ps3 [CoD4 and Ace Combat 6 on xbox live] as of late playing there to pass most my time but i hunger for more online community and a shred of dying hope for FURY in some sick way too ...but anyhow lemme know and i hope to see u guys round in future gaming communities ur insight along with Republicas [dont know name from game] was phenomenal and intuitive. BTW this is Inanna Enkei [Fury] or JaiGaia [official forums] kind of glad to see atleast some of u are still comin back and checkin in from time to time in hopes of a return when the games promising again. take care all .

    I stopped reading after the second paragraph. You guys just can't move on. Your'e all no name brands to me. No matter how you word it, you are all still 'Forgotten' and lost, I'm so sorry. Please give it up...the game will not be dying. Don't insult those of us who do positively enjoy this game, and we ARE hardcore. Out with the old, IN with the new.

    Post away 's you won't hear from me on this thread ever again. I don't like to feed cheese. Cheers . Just a reminder, these ARE the FURY forums, if you want to play other games there are aplenty.

    To the Left. *snap*

    @ Faktor

    Don't waste your time trying to argue moot points with the forumers. We know what went down and we were there, attesting to it won't do anything to change their minds though. Fury is what it is, plain and simple. What happened was what happened. Where the game stands as of right now is the only thing that holds any weight (and we all know where the game is at right now). As much as we wanted it to succeed, it just didn't. Fury as a competitive genre for the niche community failed in so many ways, it's unfathomable. Fury became the Special Olympics of PvP gaming, and the competition that ended up leaving the game shows.

    Anyway, you never answered my question Faktor! What're you up to these days?

     

    @ Athenae (if that's how you spell your name)

    You're being way too defensive about something that is really trivial. We're always going to have our own opinion and we will say what we saw happen. Trying to scare us away with your "we will ignore you" tactics does nothing but make the current community look even worse. It's like a defending party coming off as overly anxious (and therefore suspicious) when the prosecutors accuse them of what they are perhaps guilty of. I have no idea who you are, but continue playing your game, and don't worry what others have to say about it. Enjoy it if you enjoy it, that's all that can be said. For lack of better words, all the good, competitive teams/players left for a reason. Let that reason be what you want it to be, but we all know why.

     

    @ Jaigaia

    Obviously I'm in the same boat as you, I too would love to see a comeback, but it's highly unlikely. I just want to see these new forums and the steps that Bossman and Adam take to try to fix the game up. TPT as a whole has really dispersed. A lot of the core group are playing games casually picking up whatever comes including Exteel, Savage 2, and a bunch of other random stuff. Some of us are getting back into DotA. I personally dabble in DotA, CoD4, CS:S, and sometimes TF2 but am mainly focusing on school at the moment. So yeah. Hope you find something you enjoy.

    P.S. You were talking about Republica (Cherish?), yeah she was pretty awesome. Carebear Stare was a great influence on the game.

    I'm new to the game, this past week. I'm loving it. Athenae, I've seen you in game, and hope to say hi sometime soon. This game has a lot going for it... fun to play being number one. There's actually a community, too, which is refreshing after the debacle that is Hellgate.

    I'm treating this like a game... that is, I'm leveling my guy as was intended, not by buying ability packs. It's a gradual process, but I don't feel like I'm in any hurry. I get beat a lot, but I do my best, and my skills are improving. I'll be more of a menace when I've got more skills to work with.

    I've played most all MMOs out there, and while this is certainly different, it's the only one I want to play atm. I haven't looked forward to getting home and logging onto something this much for quite some time.

    I'm Red Ripper in the game, and I'd love to find a few more people to form a dedicated 4's team.

  • AkuahAkuah Member Posts: 4

    I dont know if i'd actually be considered an "old School" player.  i never played my demo vr. of the game, but i did buy it on release date for the full $50.  (only to find that the price dropped DRAMATICLY in just a few short months).  I've always been a solo / casual player to the game but never had any complaints about it either.  for the Most part i Like it for what it is. A FREE PVP. 

    and as long as there are No Monthly fees, then i am happy lol

    there are Quite a few suggestions that i saw on the original forums.  but like most games in general, there are complaints and suggestions that could make it better, that Often go ignored.  you choose to either continue playing, or quit. 

    I do find tho, that this game does become quite lonely and boring, just a little pointless with out adding friends or joining a clan.

    The new item system is horrible and the standard of play is low to say the least, seems like 99% from the top 5-10 guilds from the first few weeks of live quit. I think the best time Fury had was the challenge tbh.

    Haha MoJawk, Apple and Statik... I'm on of the oldies (Slowpoke, cough i hope you remember this guy) that still plays cause i have no where else to go atm... but to compare the old day to AotC... AotC blows chunks. They changed things to worsen gameplay... even MORE GCD... WTF? why not fix the damn lag problems with ur sever in the first place (like Apple said). Haha, remember ppl complaining about reactives? and how they'd proc too often.. then they put in the 10sec immunity? well... so they decided to up that % of procs to 20% (just recently changed immunity to 15sec for all of them cept CC which is now 25sec). No problem... so the 1v1 isn't as great as everyone hoped either... the person in the end with the most HP wins... cool, but easy to exploit! All you have to do is un, pick up the powerups, constantly heal (fatigue is easy to ditch, if you know how).. oh and r10 endurence = WIN. No skill. Also with all the CC procs... one doesn't need much skill anymore. Increase the HP wasn't a bad idea... more epic battles... always fun... maybe, sometimes. I could go on.. but i have class to get to! Can't be late!

    Haha.. i didn't mean to start ranting... cause that belongs in another post... HELLO VETS!

    Anyways its really cool to know that all you vets still follow... shows ppl that you cared. <3 <3

    Very few are left from what I have seen.  And of those left it seems alot of us are trying builds that shouldn't work, just to see if we can make it work lol.

    For me, there really just isn't anything else pulling my interest now besides Guitar Hero III, there is a PvP void in my gaming life and it is driving me nuts.

    I was actually shocked to see that someone didn't know who you were Apple :)

    I still have a faint glimmer of hope that they will pull their heads out of their 's and take the luck out of the game.

    I would jump back in for some fights immediately if they fixed armor proc bullcrap.

  • DowndeepDowndeep Member Posts: 5

    I just logged in today, also checking for some old members, but saw none, only guy I even recognized on the ladder top was Terje, I tried to log into my old clan vent aswell, but it was gone , and what'ya know the whole Tpt clan was gone aswell. Also checked my friend list, and only 1 person had logged into fury during 2008, think it was Explodey. So I think it's safe to say that most oldschool players are gone. Atleast all the ones I knew / knew off.

    So Faktor, you gonna start playing again? Wanna make a clan?

  • SmurfFurySmurfFury Member Posts: 14

    Its so true what applebomb said. There are always afew players far above the rest and its just not really fun for them to play.

     

    Before AotC i was good at Bloodbath, it was by far my favourite game type, i was definatly not the best but i could compete with the best of them. Key word being compete, that is what makes this game fun. When the top players started to get bored there were so few people out there to compete with. After AotC i was by far the best Bloodbath player and as much as i enjoy winning, id much prefer to lose a close game than competly destroy everyone.

     

    After winning the overall weekly ladder 2 weeks in a row (without really putting much effort/long hours into the game) i just got a bit bored.

     

    I keep logging in to check how things are going, but the lack of updates, lack of ANY feedback from the fury team, the lack of a forum (for 2 months now) and the fact that clans dont work in a team based game just make me want to log off pretty much right away.

     

    Hopefully soon the devs will get a clue.

     

  • BolteusBolteus Member Posts: 8

    I'm 100% behind that statement. Im still in my learning stages of finding the best build for me, but when Im on my destroyer, it is not often that I lose a bb, or at least rank lower than 3rd.

    The lack of competition is sad, but even today I helped 2 newbs develop builds, one guy who was an expert, using a build I gave him to beat 3 grand masters, and come within 400 hp of beating Fate Wrathblade's overlord.

    I think the main problem for newbies is the lack of abilities. I know on one of my 6 chosen accounts, it is hard for me to win 1v1 just using the basic force of nature/frenzy flamedart/scorch build.

    You have minimal heals (Serenity being the biggest, but still not great), and your damage output is significantly lower than most.

     

    I think Auran need to take a GOOD look at whats making people leave, and change it.

     

    Also the clan bug is really starting to annoy me, and the reason Im on this forum right now is because the server crashed again...

    I logged in this weekend for like 2 minutes, realised the friends list and guild list was broken and logged out. Auran are a bad joke. Fury had so much potiential, shame to see it go completely too waste.

    I personally think that a game is not a complete waste even if there is one person out there enjoying the game. I think Fury has found one unique niche and unfortunately not very popular because most mmo's are watered down, so the majority of the populace can't handle losing in order to become better.

    I agree that the clan bug should be on top of the list of things they have to fix. It comes back from time to time, But doesnt stay long. At least the friend notification works...

    I played during beta, hated it. Just tried it again, huge improvements. (that's pretty much the short version of the story ). Best improvements is the performance... really amazing.

    You know it, the best way to realize your dreams is waking up and start moving, never lose hope and always keep up.

    I agree :) and I didn't even play on beta.

  • SmurfFurySmurfFury Member Posts: 14

    its true it has hugely improved in some areas. but they have made it very noob friendly and watered down version of what it should be (example = increased global cooldown, and increased everyones health)

     

    all they needed to do to make it more noob friendly was to make the starter skills from each archetype alot better.

  • AkuahAkuah Member Posts: 4

    Not sure when the 4 bots were added to bloodbath training, but it absolutely Ruin the game for me.  I dont mind loosing to other players. Its just annoying and frustraiting when i'm fighting one on one with a player then suddenly Bots gang up on me!!!  I dont mind loosing to a player but the fact that this games population is soooo low, that the only active war zone is the blood bath training, well it makes the game feel like a waste of time for me.

    A majority of the players i see in bloodbath training, will kill a couple of the bots and then haul ass when they see a real player coming around.

    Weather or not the game play has gotten better or worse, since release date and beta. Since the update or whatever.

    I believe what makes a game good/great. is not its features, gameplay or updates. Its actually its player base. Population.  If there are enough players around then Fury can really be enjoyed for what its ment to be.  seriously, if the game is free to play, and even free to download, then why not give it a run.  If there are things/changes you don't like about the game, so what its FREE PVP. 

     

    *note*  Talking about Fury makes me want to play the game.     But playing Fury, makes me want to find something else to do.  

  • MatriarcheXMatriarcheX Member Posts: 159

    Hey Akuah! :) glad to see you finally made into the game! lol I know what you mean, Fury can get frustrating but at the same time makes you want to play more to see if you can keep improving yourself   . Are you still in the training area or in Sanctorum? I suggest playing a 4v4 or Vortex, they are alot of fun. I hardly play any Bloodbath unless I'm super bored. There more of a challenge in the other arena, but that could just be personal preference :)
