What is David's opinion of RP?

Hey David, a few players including me wonder if you have an opinion regarding RP. It would be cool if you could share it with us, given that you are quite active in the forum.

Rp makes my pp go up

This post seems extremely irrelevant

RP is the greatest thing to happen to this platform, besides me ofc

So much autism...

It's time to stop trying to be cool kids by bashing on RP, boys. It's just one way to enjoy the game.

You choose a country no matter what country and role play with it as a president, king, dictator, etc.. You've to declare what you're going to do before you do it and you need legitimate reasons to start a war, otherwise you will be declared a rogue state and everyone will have the right to attack you.

my best suggetion i have for you is dont play it until you get skilled in atwar, rp can be fun but it wont teach you how to play atwar, the most loved rp is NWE but there are quite few others, they are all the same basically. also you will have to get used to the community which most of atwar dont like and is very isolated.

Furthermore, I consider that NWE must be destroyed

Traditional Roleplay and roleplay on Atwar are 2 very different concepts.
At its core traditional roleplay is about living inside the shoes of the country you are playing and acting in accordance to their interests whilst still playing the diplomatic game.
Unfortunately when RP reached atwar it was plagued by awful mapmakers that instead made everything easy for noob players- 50k funds no war before turn 4 etc. These ideals sadly have tarnished the genre as enjoyable by everyone.
-Note some good rp maps exist: look at German Wars of Unification and Rome political etc..

I used to play RP a couple years ago and moved to scenarios then competitively and scenarios and I can say that you should try to stay away from RP

It teaches you nothing about the game other than how to click units and clump them up together to make "walls." I know and can see the appeal but I always got more satisfaction from playing a game that didn't give me everything right outside the box. The reason why people hate RP is because it makes players who are high ranks worthless in a real game and overall makes the general populace of the game less skilled

Its enjoyable, and you can learn a lot actually. I learned from RP myself.

Don't pay attention to the people who say it isn't worth any lessons, because if you dig deeper they have never played RP or played it just a few times. It's just like any other map. You don't get skills from a damn map, you get skills by simply playing the game.

Also if you dig deeper, it's not RP who makes people retarded and less skilled. If that was the case then I'm sure maps = skill and playing the game and actually learning ways from your mistakes or from other players = no skill.

The only thing that's changed is the player base and the people who help other people within it.

If you have no players coming in and the community is toxic, a new player wouldn't want to stay or learn anything new.

Everything that Hdrakon said below you plus: RP turned from Roleplay into Free For All camping with wallspam. And new RP maps have more than 1000 cities and regions which make the game laggy (you always disconnect when turn 2 starts, or when players spam you with peace request).

When they camp, they wait for someone to break the map rules or get near it, then they gangkill it, which makes alot of angry players, stressed, trolled, creating lots of toxicity.

Well i think that rp is part of this game and people are free to play whatever they want . just stay away of it if you dont like it and sp is part of this game too so its bad when people propose that rp shouldnt give any sp. we all know who is who in atwar just checking game record so if you dont want rp fags in your scenarios just kick and they probably will go back to their own games(rp).
so live and let live comrades

Let's just end the discussion here. RP is a map made by people of the community, and community members have the freedom to be creative as they want. It's SP is nerfed so it's not an easy farm map. There's no issue with it...

Alois is lying to you. Rp is what killed atwar faster then it should have went. It's a cheap thrill with instant gratification that gives a false sense of accomplishment. People play rp because they can know nothing do nothing and still win and bully others by being in a large alliance of players in the map that choose which player to gang bang next based on popularity of the player. Then they make up a war declaration and the whole map attacks that player. They do this till 5 or 6 people are left and they ally end. It has great charm to new players because of the low skill of the people who play it. This is a problem because they never venture out of rp do to the skill gap of rpers and the rest of the community, they then end up quitting and never contributing to the rest of the community.

Yall sound like a bunch of 8 year olds

Well Rp divided AtWar. I used to play it, and I make me leave the game for years, is just pick a country, pray you no have had to fight 5 players, some people rp, other just attack randomly, and all this after 20 people waiting for like 30 minutes, all for a game that doesnt have 10 turns. Trauma time.

A lot of people give roleplay flak, and to be honest, I believe it's justified. There's so many bad things about roleplay, but to be fair if roleplay got nuked there'd be a similar situation with WW1 getting nuked, a lot of people will not be happy and may outright leave unless something takes it's place. Just taking it down will just negatively impact the game. If you guys really want to bring an end to roleplay, maybe make a new game that has a GENUINE roleplay concept and that'll eclipse roleplay. In fact, i was working on a map with a good enough concept to do that, until my map got corrupted, but I'll eventually re-draw it. I say just let players do what they want, as much as I personally dislike it, but there's a better way of de-popularizing it, by simply eclipsing it with a better game concept, if we rehashed UN with newer concepts it could easily eclipse roleplay as it has a much better roleplay concept.

I plan to when map maker is fix

Yea everyone should be allowed to play whatever style they like , its up to them in the end what type of game they wanna try.
Ive seen several roleplayers later turn to scenarios or competetive so its not like they all just stay in rp forever lol.

The Sp nerf should only happen once, not multiple time for each map. sometimes a map get sp nerf to 50% than to 25%, for each game of that certain map that reach the threshold of sp pool. I suggest limiting it to ONE Time. I don't care about sp farm anymore, but the game was thriving before sp multiplier was introduce and a lot of rp player was playing this game until the admin made them run away.

Wrong the game was thriving before rp went and lowered the skill threshold to non existent.

I am making a new RP map in html5

RP could fill 3 game with 60 players nad 20 player in each game, and there were more player playing this game.
I understand Rp player back in the day like to troll and quit game or ruin competitive game like ultimate WWII or team game or gang play in FFA game like colonial game .
We could make a social credit system, where each player can get rated as a troll, RP player, or/ and noob. Like upvote or reputation system, player are more likely to kick them so a game can run good.
Also RP game can make player toxic with one another because of a beef in a previous game where they get betray or backstab, I suggest a New game option where Player in a game are given igconito mode, where you can see player name tag or view profile until game finish.
1) solution is to design a social credit system that rate player base of their tendency to troll, are noob, or is a RP player.
2) New game option call icognito mode.

Your missing my point. What good is 60 players in three rps to the rest of the community? They stole a entire generation of atwar. Tought them nothing made them toxic retards who dont contribute to anything, to kill the real atwar and created a far far worse alternative community. Its partially why people are so toxic now. Before rp those 60 players would of filled real maps and learned reusable skills and helped progress the community. Rp instead deprived the actual game of a intellectual player base that is required to fill and play in competitive and role based scenarios.
