A thanks to NGD (and some critisizm)

Alsius and Syrtis worked together today (God only knows why), on Ra server to invade Ignis.

I want to personally thank NGD for return in the Hunter class to its roots. Evasion is crap now, but that's ok. Hunters should not be evasion tankers, we must rely more on tricks and ambushes. And with the protection nerfs, pets (even cats and dogs) now have meaning again.

But what is really great is...

Careful use of Camoflauge and Stalker surroundings to move past the realm wall (where over half of the freaking server population was fighting simultaneously) and make way to the Inner Realm cities where I was able to do my job as a Hunter, terrorizing their levellers on their own turf.

And before anyone asks, no, it's not all that fun killing helpless noobs. But this game is about war afterall, and it's come to fruition. And it wasn't easy, I had to watch my back at every turn because they were LV50 Ignis running around everywhere, even in the most remote locations of the realm.

It required alot of skill and I had truly felt like a hunter again for the first time in a year.

The critiszm:

The SPAM. Oh GOD THE SPAM. Player spam. Guard spam. Everywhere, spam. Kill someone? They would revive at gate. Kill someone after gate is down? Hundreds of them come pouring in from Samal and Menirah saves. Just hundreds of Ignis everywhere, low-level players coming from the main city... just... my god.

There is no way this is going to work long-term NGD, I hope you have a backup plan, because at the moment the sheer numbers, the lag, and the nerfing of areas... has made it almost completely impossible without two realms coordinating together (and even then very hard).

I only made it past the gate because I'm a Hunter with lots of cool tricks up my sleeve. And I didn't even make it the first time... I had to die at least once as the lag was so bad the ground disappeared and it took me 5 whole minutes to relog, only to be killed by 100 (A HUNDRED) Ignis running past me from warzone saves, desparately trying to help at the gate.

It's just impossible, but I'm going to stick around and see if things improve in the future.

Cheers.
