Just like BREXIT, the silent majority will vote OF in.

I think if some of the folks clinging to OF would have given NF a legit chance they (like myself) might have discovered they actually like it better...
Guess we'll see where the numbers fall...
BTW how is that Brexit thing working out? Seems the leaders are doing their best to ignore the will of the people...
Some people look at the phrase "brexit" to mean an unexpected result. That's what I was after. Ya see, it was a fore gone conclusion that the UK would vote to stay in the euro union. But when the votes got counted it was the opposite. Please, no more Brexit police, My post title is correct.

Some of us gave nf a chance back before and when it was changed over on the live servers. It was the main reason I quit the game then. Some of us just don't and never will like it.

You mean you tried something over 10 years ago and didn't like it . So you arent even willing to try it here even though its not the same as it was when it was released.
Neat.

I tried NF last week again and I still don't like it. Nothing has changed, it's either zerging for keeps (soloing at keeps is impossible here thanks to riddiculous guards) or getting added/zerged at bridges or docks.

Not that any of these things would change you mind about what you prefer I just thought it was a shame to see what the Devs presented as NF is really just another Phoenix custom version.

lmao I almost garuntee this was related to pet pathing
You have any idea how much bitching would erupt when pets were completely ignoring keep/tower structure instead of just the front gates

We still don't have dynamic pathing only dynamic los.
The two major parts why back in february we said NF would take a long while even if we wanted to implement are exactly this pathing problem and dealing with the keeps / towers correctly on the server and getting them to the client. OF keeps are baked into the map and hence always exist, NF keeps do not exist as such on the client but instead are many separate components that have to be dealt with in a particular way. They could theoretically be placed anywhere as it's just telling the client where to place what and with what rotation etc and hence figuring out how all that works is, or since it's now done was, the other main time sink. Making the client render those keeps was the easy part, the harder part was making sense of the keep data and making it work with pathing / dealing with it on the server side.
Anyways, without dynamic pathing for everything that would change the possible pathing (doors, walls, siege towers, entire nf towers) we have the choice of either always ignoring it, meaning as far as mobs / pets are concerned it doesn't exist, that's how we deal with doors, or alternatively to never ignore it and hence make it never traversible for mobs, that's what we chose for walls and towers.
The second choice then is to either disable that feature entirely and have it seem consistent or we could enable wall / tower destruction and weird mob behavior, in case of towers mobs would be out of range as the server would assume they're up in the air but the client would render them on the ground, so tower razing would simply be impractical. Wall destruction however we could enable but that would mean mobs / pets still wouldn't walk through the hole but path all the way through the nearest door.

Well rip server population whether you prefer OF or NF ppl are gonna quit. Many ppl including myself started playing freeshards years ago on uthgard because I hated NF and these servers brought fans of OF back. Now you got players who preferred NF and will quit if they decide to keep OF. So either way the population will take a dive. Once server hits 400 players total EU prime bye bye server.

I constantly see these "I hate NF" statements but what exactly these people hate about NF is never mentioned and I have a strong feeling many of these people haven't even tried phoenix version of NF.
So why do you hate NF? I can't think of any rational reason except for "I am used to it and don't want to adapt to NF". OF has a lot of flaws (Milegates, undefendable keeps, very low mobility for non speeder classes/groups etc. etc.)
