If they would've stopped dancing and fought we probably would've died there, and you'd get your fort back... instead I just got bored and logged.

AFAIR, no one was dancing, we just stood helpless at the altar after being repeatedly killed for the nth time. And to be honest, I didn't pay much attention to what was happening behind me, as I was busy taking screenies, so if they were dancing as well, what more could they do. Not enough to take all ignis and fort and not allowed to go beyond our save to try the fort.

What do you mean not enough to take all of the ignis and the fort? I see no fort in your screenies... it clearly wasn't being used. And there is nothing stopping you from going around the ignis to try the fort. Regardless, from the screenies I'm assuming you agree with the OP, since the topic is about syrtis refusing to fight for their forts?

I mean, not enough to kill all the ignis camping us there and then go to fort. Going around you and hitting the door? LOL. Within secs, ignis would run to fort, kill us there and come back again. And no, I don't agree with the OP. We will fight for the forts if we were allowed, which in this case scenario, clearly isn't so.

To lazy to comment/read on this thread past page 2 since its pointless, but I have to comment on this:

Ive been with syrtis when they take samal and Ive fought against them when they take samal and I can guarantee you that (besides your off time, if yall even have one anymore) you have at least 15 players zerging samal each time you take it. In fact you have so many players taking samal most the time that, when the fort is lvl 4, someone can die (with the door up) and not even make it back in time to help the GC. And this is even with a Hunter with mobil 5 and passive 4.

After reading this thread yesterday I decided to take this screenshot when we were taking samal to prove a point.
This was in peak playing hours:



Dont know where your getting 'at least 15' from but this looks like 7 to me. Just because Syrtis has a super zerg a few hours a day, dosnt mean we have it 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

You were allowed... we came toward the save because nobody showed up at the fort to fight. Apparently you missed it, but that was the original point of this thread - Syrtis happily zergs all day long, and then when outnumbered at night they dance at the save, run away to empty forts, or log on lvl 1 characters and run around taking screenies so they can spew shit all over the forums. Can't say I completely share the opinion of the OP, but it seems you're demonstrating his point unintentionally, so I though I'd let you know.

And if you want names, Efrendi, Wes The Accurate, Hadit(Choronzon), I Hate Sand (Van), Aeshma, Iudicium(Smurv), Bosshogg, Grunge (Herumor), Fiasco, Abed, master xxx, Luina, Shanalay, and a whole shitload of other locks, archers and mages.

Please Ignis take your hippie bullshit someplace else.

I just wanted to point out that Ignis is doing you a favour by not hanging around their fort and farming you...unlike what Syrtis usually does. As for your names list, you named 13 people. There are 15 Ignis visible on that screenshot and judging by the armour, 3 or 4 of them are under lvl 40. What happened to the "whole shitload of others"?

You and all the other people trying to defend Syrtis' actions are beginning to grow tiresome. Maybe you're in the night crew or you don't hang around with the rest of the zerg, but Syrtis is made by the zerg. It's "defined" by the zerg. If you dislike the zerg as a Syrtian, there's no need to defend it, or get offended if we point out the fact that they're a group of annoying assholes, because you're not part of it, right?

Also, I find it amusing that you made a new account just to post on this thread, and you blocked out your character on the screenshot (who is obviously an archer).

Heh, I can't believe I didn't agree with the OP to begin with. After what has been happening today, it just comes to prove how Syrtis loves an empty fort. Ofc there is always exceptions, so if you don't consider yourself part of the empty-fort-taking party pls don't be ofended by this comment :P

But...really?? Last night a group of around 8 of us (maybe 10, but not more) went on to take Herb. A few greens showed up after we took it, can't say there were lots of them at first, maybe 5 or so, and we were "farming" them for about 20 mins when we realised no one else was going to show up, so we decided to move on to Samal in hopes of having an actual fight. When we're half way to PB we get the following message: "Herbred fort is under attack", so we turn back, only to get there and see a zerg banging on the door.
It's not the first time this happens, so tell me, what are you all doing when we take one of your forts? Grinding and waiting for us to get bored to death and leave so you can go take it? At least give us the fight we deserve, that's what people want when they take a fort. And it's what we(Alsius) do when you take one of ours, even when outnumbered 2-1, or when you take empty Trelle and farm there for hours.

edit: the zerg i mention was about 15 ppl, which might not be a zerg for most ppl's standards, but it is for someone who has the hardest time to get 6 ppl together to go take a fort. Even if you don't consider that a zerg, it is definitely enough to fight for a fort being defended by 8 people. It only took Syrtis 10 mins to get Herbred back.

[blood-raven]

about meni, i <3 meni ether way samal is camped or not, i had a lot of uber great fights there, when ignis is attacking us an suddenly alsius comes and you see a every realm vs every realm battle before you, i just <3 it, when i ask to go to meni it's not that i don't want a good fight on the contrary, i secretly hope alsius jumps in and we have great fights.

so if someone asks to go meni, don't stfo him, maybe he wants an uber fight

regards

edit: I HATE EMPTY FORTS! i mean whats the point? i logged off just because there was no battle at all, everybody just wants to get forts to get that quest done, its very boring, then what else can we do? hunt? yeah great running into fort f*ckers, great hunt, seriously guys, this quest made regnum down right boring.

you know how mutch i love it when ignis takes efe? i adore it! great battles, last time i was there syrtis even worked together, and i did the thinking! (hoeray, can't believe how happy i was, great fight, thx again for all ignis and syrtis guys there, epic battle, beat that zerg!).
you know, i always wanted to battle at the realm gate, you know epic battle before the walls, wauw, must be a fight of your life, but sadly when ignis invaded i was'nt on, cmon ingis, do it again, but make sure i'm online

btw, i always loved defensive fights, i think i made that clear

Okay, I just had to post once more here. It struck me funny that two days after this thread starts, a quest about fort taking comes and the empty fort taking becomes an epidemic. I went looking for fights tonight instead of taking empty forts like everyone else and you know what? I actually found players to fight.

Just remember - you don't HAVE to take empty forts for the quest, it's just more efficient to do it that way. Did I mention I hate efficiency?

Truly ironic. Personally I think it's all a conspiracy against Ignis, so that finally the other realms can say "Look, Ignis takes empty forts too!" (;
