new player looking for a clan

[Telwe]

Haven't played in a while and am restarting and going to roll a barb. Will be on haven server, in syrtis.

I am looking for a mature organized rvr clan.

[fotomay]

um.. welcome back.. you can't find your old character? or maybe just feel like trying a new realm...

syrtis has quite a few good clans.
here is a ranking list of all syrtis clans on haven

I <3 Azabael seems active in wz. So does Trolls.
Forsaken is a big clan but im not sure they are as active now.
I guess you are after an RvR clan which is active in organising attacks etc? I'm not sure which syrtis clan does that diligently.

Hope you can tell us a bit about earlier times with your earlier character :P

I played a lvl 60 knight in the alsius clan pack of bastards (rumple, karma, bright, kang, shaia, backslash, chaz, and others) when they were in their prime. i have some experience with all the classes except marksman, but my knight was the main (Shaia'tan taught me how to play it if anyone remembers him). i was around in horus and transferred to haven when it opened up. Haven was fun at the start... the pob vs la vaniteuse wars (all of whom hacking in some way or another), alsius invasions every night. I remember some people still playing now... crushing elva and hutch, evangeline speed hacking for which she got temporarily banned. Heck i remember hutch at lvl 30 solo charging 3-4 pob lvl 60 knights and all of us bursting out laughing newbie (newb, not noob) on vent. Ironically after all this time playing he might be better then any of us now.

i left for a number of reasons. Graphics, lack of a ranking system, low population, pay to win, boats, and I think was just bored. I wanted to try out other games as regnum was one of my first. People i knew also stopped playing.

I tried out a number of games since then, pvp and pve. Lord of the rings online, warhammer online, wow, swtor, and others. All excellent games in their own rights, and beautiful. And all have their flaws. there is no perfect game.

Warhammer online... possibly the greatest rvr game ever (yes I've played doac). Its a beautiful game with great mechanics (I can go into details on why I think its the best), but my computer couldn't handle it, and my real life schedule doesn't really work with a subbed gamed. Also there is no active ranking system in warhammer online, its just a mindless grind for renown points and when you reach the top level there isn't really much else to do. The fighting is great, the rewards for fighting are not so great.

LOTRO... simply the best pve game i've ever played. Lots of quests, great stories, beautiful landscape, free to play for the most part. But in the end pve gets boring and repetitive, no matter how big it is. still though i occasionally play it when i feel like a really chill semi movie experience.

Wow... is one of the worst games i've tried. worse then warhammer for pvp, worse then lotro for pve, lots of kids, bad graphics. I can go on and on really.

star wars knights of the old republic... awesome and different game. If you feel like sci fi its pretty cool. Being a jedi or sidh is awesome. its like baldurs gate in the sense that you can pick from different options of what to say, and your choices effect your character. Its has some pvp but its not developed enough. Its really more of a button masher rather then a skilled pvp game. The pve is nearly just as good as lotro and just as amazing graphics.

And so back to regnum, and after experienced the above games and others my view changed on regnum a bit.
- first, its not as pay to win as I had thought it to be. I tried other f2p games perfect world and runes of magic... and I thought them to be much worse. In RO The difference between someone decking out in cash shop items and someone with dropped/traded green/purple items is not as significant as other games. Obviously the person with less gear will have a harder time, but its negligible compared to a game like warhammer online where a player with max gear can stand still and laugh at someone with inferior gear. Sure i'll buy some cs gear at 60, but i don't feel obliged to.

- better graphics doesnt mean better game play. i found myself wishing for simpler graphics so I could actually see whats going on. sure i could turn down animation in other games but then I would miss the skill animations of enemy players, putting me at a disadvantage. Even if i buy another computer the animations are over top so much that a whole group of players doing stuff at once would produce so much light/sparks/whatever that i wouldn't see whats going on anyways.

-boats are gone, and from what I've heard the invasion system is better. not perfect ofc, but then again nothing is.

-population is just right, 50v50 fights are ok every once in a while but when every fight is like that it just turns into a zerg fest. the more people there are, the less skilled play counts.

-i dont have to pay a monthly sub. can play when i want without wasting sub money.

-apparently regnum points are not the only thing and there is another system to work towards. Sounds good to me. We'll see how it goes.

------------
Anyways still looking for a clan.

Whoa, one of the most objective posts I've seen in a while. Thank you, and good luck finding a clan. I'm sure someone will give you space in their list And if they don't, I will make them

[Rising_Cold]

hope you'll find friends and fun in syrtis and ofcourse a clan

I hope you'll enjoy fighting against alsius as much as you did fighting the other realms
Ill be waiting in the warzone

[Signatus]

Can't invite you myself: different realm and I just got back this week after a long pause (I'm not on a clan yet, but rolling with some old friends), but if you feel no joy on this Syrtis experience hop in Ignis!

I'll be doing a new char to enjoy this game fully again (so many changes that it's almost mandatory), and the lads I've rekindled contact with would surely welcome you among their ranks.

Regardless, welcome back and have fun!

Welcome (back) to CoR

I'll be waiting in warzone or in one of the taverns (check under the tables too, since some of them are too high for us dwarves) or somewhere else - Boozing around

I like the fact that they split the game into level brackets each with their own warzone, something discussed on this forum quite a lot but to a smaller extent. However I got bored of this game before I could reach the end-game, I might go back sometime because in terms of RvR it was as you said pretty good.

As good as its PvE is, its PvP (or PvMP) is terrible in my honest opinion.

I actually really enjoyed WoW. Well less and less with every expansion. I liked the fact that I can reach the level cap purely through PvP via battlegrounds or similarly through dungeons (for those not into PvP). Battlegrounds will keep you occupied for months after reaching the level cap and Arenas were intense. World PvP was amazing in Wotlk which is when I started playing. It got pretty much ruined in Cataclysm when flying mounts were made global and reduced to ganking Tol Barad questers as our only form of entertainment while waiting for bg's.

Anyway don't discredit WoW for its retarded community, graphics are unique and caters for players low-spec computers. Its still a decent game and kind of became the blueprint for most of the mmorpg's that were released after it. I wont be going back to it anytime soon but I wouldn't deny that I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent playing it.

SW:TOR is pretty much WoW with lightsabers. Nice PvE storylines which one of the best PvE's I've experienced so far. Levelling up becomes tedious after a while even though its mostly questing. World PvP is dead. BG's aren't nearly as fun as WoW's. For those who love Star Wars, this game is amazing but this breed of mmorpg is slowly becoming stale.

The way the mmorpg industry is evolving, it would seem that these target selecting and clicking skills games are slowly being replaced with action mmorpgs such as Tera, Raiderz, Blade and Soul etc. You should really check some of those games out of your PC can handle them. I'm having a hell of alota fun playing Raiderz at the moment and its download size isn't as huge as Tera's.

Anyway from what I've heard, most of the PoB clan moved to Guild Wars 2 when it was released. Not sure they're all still there but there are still a handful of them left in Alsius. Good luck in Syrtis and in CoR in general.

aye, its dreadful to the extent I didn't even mention it XD.

they did so many things right with the game, except the end game content. i got to renown rank 83 (out of 100) and I realized i was just going to be grinding out the points until 100 which would take months and then the only thing i'd have to do is kill other ppl. its structured in a way that people can just run into zones just as its going to lock and leech the rp points like that. so technically anyone can reach rr100 and still be a nub. besides that there is no ranking criteria, so really its just pointless. any competitive game needs a goal and that is something WAR does not have.

ok fair enough about the fans. it is true the game got worse as it got older and more expansions released. I dunno it didn't cut it for me.

SW:TOR is pretty much WoW with lightsabers. Nice PvE storylines which one of the best PvE's I've experienced so far. Levelling up becomes tedious after a while even though its mostly questing.

Exactly. But it was really cool for a month...

Aye thats right they're on GW2. I'm not sure i'm prepared to get involved in another big game like that. maybe one day in the future. but even as games go my primary is warhammer fantasy tabletop (tournaments and stuff), then starcraft ii(mostly for fun and the challenge) and then mmos a distant 3rd. warhammer tabletop is my favourite but you need a real life player to play it.


----------------

The pirate: thanks for suggestions. I remember inquisition from before and actually it was my first clan ever on horus way before i moved to alsius (when lvl cap was still 50).

Awrath: I remember you, as well as reclamation.

Lucian: who are you? My knight was alaric saltzman, aka saltyballzman, aka venessa (mumble nickname).

1. Don't join "Elite of Syrtis". It's full of mentally challenged players who think Elva is a god for being able to come out of camo with a pet and dist shot-->ambush-->confuse 5 on unbuffed players, and the vast majority of them spend the vast majority of their time killing grinders in groups of 5.

2. Hutch has gotten infinitely better than he was before. I'm not sure if he players as much as he use to, but when I was active he beat jakOP/jakop with either justan ammy or with no boss gear while jakop had rings+ammy. He also became an amazing support knight. He is one of the best Knight players Ive played with or seen. He can do knarb, support or both.

3. Welcome back. I'm Oreo Monster/Blue Power Ranger
