I got 300 MA rank not long after it came out. Unlike most people I actually enjoyed MA, and actually played it, rather than just suiciding on seige. Because of this I both liked getting my rank and got rank faster than other people, a win-win right? Now just today I got an onyx ring and had to play some MA to get more reward credits. While getting these credits it reminded me how much I enjoyed MA so I continued playing after I had the credits, intent on getting 400 rank. I was playing just like I had before. Then I got this message:

"You need to wait 10 mintues before getting more rank."

What the [bleep]?

It's 12 per hour, I think.

Yeah, after suiciding became the prevalent strategy, Jagex added the rank limit to regulate people playing "Fast MA" or "suiciding." Like Blutters said it is 12 per hour.

We all feel your pain

Typical Jagex "fix" huh.

Sorry. Most people only play for the rewards. To get back at them, JaGEx makes it as painful as possible, since JaGEx is steamed that people don't often enjoy its "miracle of engineering"...

You're rare if you truly glean enjoyment from... That...

which is STUPID because it's easy enough getting 20+ ranks/hour by consistently winning Conflict.

 

I used to like MA.

I think I would like MA if they made it like their RuneScape-based strategy game...

Or any true strategy game at all... With different factions and abilities...

It's far too simple with far too few actions to be taken.

In short, it's like a long, drawn out version of rock-paper-scissors...

-Not being able to select multiple units at once

-Lack of interesting objectives

-Not enough different varieties in the scenarios that can occur within games (for instance, conflict, the winner is usually whoever had the stronger units, not always who is the smartest and most tactical)

-I totally agree that it needs to be made more like AoG

In short, it's like a long, drawn out version of rock-paper-scissors...

 

actually, goblins have highest attack, dwarves have highest HP, and elves just suck. So really, you should be using 10 heavy goblin squads. Other than that, I agree with you completely.

 

yeah, the cap should be raised a bit. but it does give you time to do a farming run

it amused me that this was there fix.

 

it also amused me that they use "not having the technology" as an excuse, when they make a much more advanced java based strategy game.

You guys know I'm gonna do ma this week. You're not making this easy on me. *cries* keep me ignorant pls.
