(Horus) Fort Wars!

[-SoL-]

For the last week or two it seems the warzone has been getting so boring of late on horus no fort wars that last more then 5 minutes! and there seems to be no ambition to attack forts anymore.
it seems that ignis is only attacking us at night when they know we have no one to really attack! (this isnt a shot at ignis) and alsuis has tried to do a bit but i fine they have stopped fort wars aswell.

The point of this thread is to see if others feel the same way and to resolve the problem!

This situation sounds more like a problem related to the time zones of the other players here on Regnum. We can't really control that now can we? Best solution could be to try and get some more players on Horus in hopes of getting people on during various times. Some people can stay up late to play...but don't forget it's not their responsibility to entertain you all day

Just give it time I say...and find something else to occupy yourself in the meantime :P

Edit: I just realized that last statement in the first paragraph was a rhyme...I feel like a greeting card...
well I don't try to do it all the time...and it's not that hard...

yes a timezone can affect things this is a example!

Syrtis attacks Samal ignis come to defend but syrtis captures! ignis goes for herb instead of fighting to lure us out!
and syrtis has done it once or twice im sure over the time

Several things I observed in Horus:

- A lot of players are more interested in grinding than fighting in war.
- Some players avoid direct fights and choose to either take other forts to lure people out of their realm (like what you pointed out). While this is a viable tactic, it takes away the fun in the game IMO.
- A lot of level 50's are now leveling alts, which brings us back to the first point in my post.
- Some people prefer grinding boss mobs than wars. I noticed Syrtis can mass a huge number of players to get Vesper. 70% of whom I don't see anywhere else.

Horus wars have been like this:

Step 1: Take an empty fort of the enemy
Step 2: Wait for the enemy to come
Step 3: Enemy takes one of your empty forts
Step 4: After hours of waiting, someone decides to attack the other group
Step 5: The attackers naturally lose unless they have the numbers, defense is just too easy after 1.0.
Step 6: The 2 sides try to "strategically and cleverly" mislead the other side into going to an empty fort while they take (get ready for it...) another empty fort.
Step 7: Get bored and log out.
Step 8: Whoever has the most patience for doing nothing and stays logged in the most wins.

There's a simple answer for me to all of this: I just go to Ra where people have balls.

Lol.... I have to give you green karma for that.

We have a night crew of about 6 - 10 people (average) including myself. Nothing else to do besides take empty forts and hope someone pops up to play. We try to stay away from castles though so you don't get scared into going to your gate, however, when no one comes out to play we put the gates in danger and move to the next realm.

Alsius of late has really disappointed me though. All I see from them is hunting half dead grinders during the day and taking empty forts at night(waiting till we get bored with one after capturing from them and taking it after we've left to bother syrtis) Alsius use to be something to be feared, honestly a bit lacking of late.

Alsius is doing their best, for example we tried Stone yesterday... but its getting odd if you attack a fort with 10 ppl and 40 Syrts are waiting infront of the fort...

So, if you loose everytime because you dont have the number, ppl go grinding...

Then theres the timezone problem... alsius has alot young ppl who go to school, so alsius is very soon empty everytime... those who are old enough to play in the night switch to RA becauso nobody else is on, so alsius is empty all the night...

Im still waiting for the spanish ppl... maybe something changes then

regards,
Aice (eero =P)

I can only speak for my self, the reason im not in war as much i was before whit my
knight is due to the increadible annoying positioning bugs, it takes out the fun off being a
knight. So many as myself is playing ranged alts mostly hunters. And often on the late
times that you want to come and play whit us most off our high levels has gone to sleep
so we usually have 0-1 or if we are very lucky 2 high lvl conjus, and that means that
going up against a group off about 10 high lvl in fort whit from what ive seen allways 2
conjus it is pretty futile in trying to take it back. The few attempts mostly ends in an rp
feeding wave that usually ends in ppl get bored. And yes the running around to empty
forts is boring aswell, i think they should remove all freaking forts and put out large
battlefields instead so we were forced to meet in open ground instead where nobody
could run and take cover in a fort or similar. Last man standing wins

Tho what we really need is a well rounded population from all timezones so we could put
up a nice fight even at night. Atm when we are at peak and our "mini zerg?" is up for war
there can be nice fights whit iggies and syrts. But the dream is that time wouldnt matter
so ppl could have good fights every hour off the day.

I have to agree with Fury that it is very tough evenings in Alsius to have a group good enough to take a defended fort back.

We rarely have the firepower to scratch the door of a defended fort properly where it is easy for two barbs with areas alone to hold us back or for two three archers who send out their lvl 50 pet or DS from inside the fort.

I lately play the hunter more often because if I play the support conj there is even less firepower. I haven't seen a late evening (ET 10pm to 12am which is GMT 3am to 5am) party consisting of a higher lvl barb plus a higher lvl knight for a while.

Combine this with the fact that Alsius has a lot of people who recently reached the warzone ready levels. So we miss some tactics and good play but it will come.
