Heh? I think I was there, not sure if this is the same ambush with "a few" coming from the right side but, 1) we had tracked you 2) you were more like a fort war party of 10 (+ 5 coming behind) vs 5 on Ignis side, and then you took Menirah, right? (which you lost verrrry fast even before the reinforcements came, thanks to a good strategy & teamplay). I have seen Alsius doing better ambushes in even fights; the fight at the bridge wasn't even at all.

Ignis almost always does first 1-2 atempts to conquer the fort without teamplay...sometimes it works sometimes it doesent

[NightTwix]

alsius has awsome teamplay.
Especially when it comes to fort doors.

I have seen a handful of alsius taking out a large crowds of us at the door.

I guess it's me then. I see very little of what you guys are saying. I can't tell you how many times I've asked for help in one situation or another. I'm being conservative in saying 40 -60 times. I'm being generous when I say I got any kind of response in 3% of those situations. I'm not joking and I'm not stretching the truth here. Countless times I've gone down fighting with other Alsiuns leveling next to me. Countless times I've been abandoned in fights. Suddenly finding myself alone against a group as the rest of my team disappears. After being killed 5 times by the same two players while leveling near Trelle I practically pleaded for help. The exact words that came to me were ' Why don't you level somewhere else'. A few days ago in a similar situation I was told 'Trelle is to far to go'. Two players ran past me yesterday as I was being killed my an archer on top of the rock's next to Trelle. Ran past me within feet as I ran toward them asking for help in both chat boxes. I died while they were still in view running away. Both of them mages, both of them ranged. Either could have at least tried. This is but a small sample of the many experiences I've had personally. Myself and Reuhman have discussed it many times. If anyone was wondering why Reuh is not here now, you have your answer. I can't tell you how many times I've said 'Alsiuns wouldn't piss in your mouth if your teeth were on fire'. I'm not trying to speak for Reuh, but I know his experiences are parallel to my own because we've discussed it. I hope Reuhman comes back someday soon. I hope to be here when he does. And I hope things have improved enough for him and others like him to want to stay. If any of what I said is not backed up by Reuhman as being the truth, I will apologize to Alsius and remove myself from the realm permanently.

well since you put it this way i feel like i have to answer (and this is probably the last time i post outside of the development forum).

as a matter of fact, when i chose to leave i would have wrote what you said myself if i had thought it would have helped change anything. but that's the way things are in this game. however, i kinda got used to that... just put something you can hit hard next to your computer...

i explained why i was leaving and what happened after the update, unfortunately, proved i was 100% right.

There have been many cases where despite being outnumbered we still prevailed due to clockwork coordination. The best example so far was when once Firulais, Yamana and me went to take Herb during off-peak hours (when the zerg were simply a lot instead of too bloody many). We took the fort, managed to kill several people several times as they tried to retake the fort for about 10 minutes and even managed to escape once they became "too bloody many". All the way without dying once (except for Yamana, alas. We couldn't keep the heat off him).

Granted, it's easier to have teamwork when you're out with only 3 people. But there have been many cases where we had 6-10 people and managed to get just as good teamwork. If it helps you enjoy the game better, be picky with the company you go out with. Hang around saves longer while waiting for the "right" party to form.

If you see this group heading to some fort wars... just follow them!

Firefox, Athenea, Pretor, Discus, Merlin Ambrosius, Motoneta, Leonidis, Blancanieves, Sabrina, Snorlax, Torker, Lorther, Homaq, Merlinux, Estornudo, dormilonn, Firulais, Alexus, Mehgan, Makox, Petulo, Mormegil, Yamana, Tron, Ghorthark Magnus, Sync Master, Dwin Lo, Gato con Botas, Abazigal, Mishel, Kbrius, Hector, Rynn, Athor, Tina, Zebedee, Byteme, El Gorrion, Geo, Beue, Xzorstlok, Tom Bombadil... and the list could go on and on!

And groups of 20 or 25 of this listed players gather usually at 22hs (gmt-3) mostly on fridays. When they do, great battles take place and very organized... every Realm has their "grosos" but IMHO Alsius has better average.

To be Alsirian is to be patient and overcome this low population problem by getting the best of you and have a 2 player value.

Great list adrian!

Despite the fact that I've already reached lvl50 I still haven't had the opportunity to (really) fight alongside many of those you've mentioned. This just goes to show that you have to go out and find the right sort

Another problem has always been the language barrier. It's not that I'm unwilling to work with someone who can't speak the same language, it's just hard to coordinate when you only know some basic words. But I do my best to learn as much as I could.

If you see me on battle I can help you understand, but sometimes it gets difficult to do it. I think we should have an in-game language for wars or organization... but that would have less success than Esperanto

i'll be on the test server to follow the latest changes.

don't be surprised if you see me in game it might be a friend trying the game with my account.

I really understand you reuh ,this FUCKING abusing is the worst ever and Monger is the worst of them ,lasttime was today ,using rapid shot in a very short amount of time between ,and shoot while hided....etc ...

Hope you come back you're a great player,really.

Bully and Reuhman, I can tell you for sure that your problems are not confined to Alsius. The same can be said on all realms including mine (except we don't have a population shortage). But this is a game, and there is no point in playing if you aren't enjoying. I wish you luck in whatever endeavor you want to undertake, but I do hope for the sake of your realm you return. They need you there.
