Alsius(horus) is screwed

[ufkn]

Hi,

Will try to keep this informal and less of a rant. The current state of update has ruined Alsius and its morale to the extreme.

1. With the new warmaster dragon wish, the game has put all emphasis on invasions. You open the portal, you get rewarded which is an apt result I suppose. But Alsius can never invade, that's a fact. We simply don't have the people, resources and organization to pull off an invasion even in supposedly other realm's downtime because that would be our downtime as well. So I fear no more warmasters in Alsius for a while.

2. The daily 30/30 quests for being a warmaster is more or less the only hope for potential warmaster wannabes now, and this heavily relies on fort wars. But the current save system has ruined that too. It is a known years old fact that Alsius spends most of its time taking back forts than going on the offensive, simply for the lack of resources to be on the offensive all throughout the day. When the handful of warmasters that we have are on, we can tele to forts to fight, twice or thrice from the gate, but after that most Alsius give up. The old altar gave us an option to repeatedly die but still fight for our quests and the fort in the process. That option is gone now.

3. The new invasion boat system while intended to work or not when a gate goes vulnerable, further has degraded Alsius' morale. We got camped at our own Mont noble yesterday by a zerg of Syrtis and always incoming Ignis, using this boat. Them had a bunch of warmasters and we had 'one'. Many players quit the game seeing no end to it.

As it all stands out now, I see Alsius' morale tumbling down the gutter day after day. I fear the day if and when our handful of warmasters get frustrated and quit RO, that would be the final nail in our coffin.

Lastly, a screenshot for being the favorite punching bags on Horus, gems or no gems.



Sad to see you like this Alsius

The invasion boat system is to kill the players of a underpopulated realm inside his own realm, because there can´t fight back at the forts or the castle. So why should the other realms do his Daily Quest without action in the wz? They must go inside the other realm.

The only places, where you can feel safe, during the wz gate is vulnerable, are:

1. Initi. Zone (Enemies can´t go to this)
2. Leave Regnum and log off

Nice work, NGD!

I don't want to troll or something, i know Alsius have hard time ...
But I don't understand you, players of Alsius.

Yesterday, after the update, Ignis took Eferia and Algaros for 20 min. And what did Alsius players ? They captured an empty samal ...
Why ? I can't understand this. You could have tried to take Herb, then their was an opportunity for you to take a gem or 2. At least you could have use the boats to sneaky and easily killed the noble. But you went for an empty fort...

Don't be angry with me please, maybe yo could explain this ?

I wont speak for all iggies but i was there only to see new boat and it's awesome :P

You will never be able to understand Alsius..wile you play from years in favorite NGD's realm....i don't want to keep argue that i told..all frustration gone when i quit playng.It's stupid from your side to argue with one situation for a general balance FAIL.

This game gone for real in 2 extremes....lots of fun for OP realms...and lots of frustrations for weakers realms....and when NGD himself accelerate this process ...

They was never underpopulated..maybe you don't play from enaugh time this game....

And again about organisation....alrady it's too hard to do something when NGD himself gave a huge bonus advantage to a realm as W coins ...wtv.

If before balance of realms:was limited at numbers/time/organisatio...now have new feature...alternative invasions mechanics and warmasters....

Two points:

1, If you quit playing why are you still here posting on the forum?
2, For someone who's not at all frustrated with the game you make a lot of rage posts about the game...

Hmm horus ignis is never underpopulated WHAT DID YOU SAY?
Take a look at this:

Wow, I guess my realm really does like to whine about every update.

While this was happening (I guess we wanted to invade Ignis simultaneously? not sure myself) there were many of us who were just standing by at boats to get into Syrtis

You may be getting your asses beat on Horus, but your buddies that left you behind have opened the portal on Raven like 6 times and never lost a gem yet ^^

I only play on Raven in times of low population/activity/Ignis night crew rape on Horus

As for this entire update:
If invasions are going to happen as frequently as they have been (update hype) I think this game is going downhill. I prefer a good old fashioned fort fight instead of that lag fest/area spam at the realm gate. Plus with the new saves, I either become too reliant on warmaster teleports or I have to walk back to a fort, which quite frankly both are a pain in the ass.
