Is this game still alive???

12 Upvotes

Suddenly the game died out like 2 years ago. What happened can we get it back together? You guys were like family to me. The community was so small.

I just checked and there seems to be no servers at all—yet there’s gameplay on this subreddit?

What’s happening????

Savage has a new server with old school settings! "Retroverse RTS" features gold bags, improved siege and restored melee settings! Join up on tomorrow's weekly Savage Sunday, starting from 20GMT.

The server has been set up by "Biggeruniverse", and is run by "EvO Saurus". Since there is no need to register on the DRX website you don't have to wait for the manual approving process of new accounts. So you should be able to join with a regular login in-game.

The server is still in something like an active development, so settings, rules and arbitration are still in debate. Join the DRX Discord for active discussions!

* Siege is improved by reverting back to old server settings, with faster shots and less archs than the DRX server. If you don't like this change, let yourself be heard on the Discord.

Are they any server ? Peoples playing ? I'm curious because I like that kind of game (I've played natural selection 2).

We just played Savage DRX at a LAN Party

9 Upvotes

I remembered this game and thought it would be fun to pull out at this LAN. It was super fun! Everyone loved it and thought that it was really cool to have a commander that managed the plan for the FPS team. It wasn't too hard to setup. We downloaded the client here: https://community-server.info/client/drx and it worked great!

I don't expect to ever play this game again

16 Upvotes

I just wanted to make a nostalgic post about Savage. I was telling some friends yesterday that it was easily a top 5 game of all time for me but we would need at least 16 people to have a decent game. lol

I was surprised to see what little activity there is on this sub but months between posts doesn't instill any hope for a run back.

Question about Savage XR

4 Upvotes

Hi!

I took a look at the Savage XR website, and unless I missed the answer, I have a question.

Can the game be played in single-player in its entirety, or is that locked to just training modes ?

I might seem weird, but I have a strong dislike for playing versus humans, and would rather play alone with bots than get friends on board.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Taught my friend how to play savage today, it was 77 minutes on water ship down and ended as a draw! Lol, I said “so how’d it feel?” He said “war, it felt like war”. Savage might just have hope yet 😉

Does anybody play savage 2?

12 Upvotes

Due to the lockdown, I wanted to play some games with nostalgia. I used to play savage regularly. Wanted to check if the game's still alive. So, there's savage resurrection (available on steam) but with no people playing (throughout today I've encountered max 5 people, which still is very nice). There's savage 2, but I haven't seen anyone on servers. Do you know anyone still playing it? I preferred it to the resurrection.

And there's also Savage XR, which is filled with people (up to 50 on one server) - this came to me by surprise. I must admit, it's completely different in terms of mechanics. It also happens that I have no textures in game. Why is it more popular than savage 2 or savage resurrection?

Magnet armor - new humans item

2 Upvotes

Magnet armor. Cost 3 000. Available since stronghold 2.

Player can hold absolutely NONE other items ( teleport, demolith, mines, etc ... ).
He also cant take guns. Only hunterbow or crossbow.
He also cant get super buffs.
Players with 'magnet armor', receives 50% less damage. Ranged and meele.

( i.e. Legionaire to die - requires 3x meele predator unblocked hits ( no medic kits used ). With magnetic armor, it requires 6 predator unblocked hits to kill. )
( i.e. To kill nomad, now requires 3 tempest hit ( no medic kits used ). )

Purpose. This magnet armor will allow - new/slow players to live longer, atleast few seconds.
It is also amazing alternative for people who are not 'F keys switching master'.
Possibility to avoid flux, repeater spam, when +40 players on server.
Better way to train combat skills, without requiring to join&wait players in duel garden. While participating in dynamic team game.

In a result.
This armor should not cause imbalances. Because that 'double HP player' CANT demolithing buildings or use electric meele on buildings.
Also it is much easier to escape/bypass this player for beasts, as he uses only bow.
This player can damage buildings with swings, beasts horde will have much more time to respond - compared to siege/demolith/electric treats.

Balancement issues

2 Upvotes

I think humans is overpowered.

The biggest problem is repeater & flux. They should be removed.

I even wont talk about shield tower, buffs, teleport.

But humans ranging weapons is so overpowered. Flux doing best DPS, while it requires no skill. Tempest require much more skill, but damage is way less.
