Regarding 1.10.6 Update

[kowocki]

I saw here on forum so many statements from Syrtis players about Alsius zerg.

I play this game 3 years now, and except short period after server merge i saw always Alsius numbers equal at best or lower than Syrtis. Would you mind be so kind and enlighten me when and where i can find this elusive Alsius zerg?
Maybe i play wrong time zone, dunno (and multis camping Dragons den does not count)

Nothing new.

In fact i have more fun being on the smaller side. Being stronger is easy and fun, but it gets repetitive and i felt sad seeing the farms.

Do not be winning side wh*re come to the smaller realms. We have cookies!

P.S. Seeing Tigerous and some other barbs without DI is priceless.

But, I'm kinda happy when I see 6-7-8 gelfs go out of zerg killing me and cheering and dancing and making party out of it. How pathetic it is?

So please, deny it.

Syrtis isn't the only realm to zerg, everyone has done it whether you want to admit it or not. At the start of CoR I could have used exactly what you wrote here but changed "gelf" to "goat" and it would be entirely accurate. Stop complaining.

OT: Flag guards suck

They do for barbs. We can just mow them down. But if you're a hunter by yourself, they do provide that little bit of resistance. And you can see when they recap if you don't kill them straight away, giving the defending realm time to get back in there. I can kinda see how it works. They don't want them to be too OP, otherwise a Hunter wouldn't be able to recap at all. So the new guards provide an inconvenience at most.

Off-topic: Please move the realm balance banter to another thread.

A lone player hiding inside fort can still capture the fort without the guards recapping, as long as they don't stay at top of tower long enough to aggro guards onto flag. This goes against Frosk's description "These guards will be able to cancel the fort capture as long as they're alive".

I'm not sure if this is intended, but a fireball from dragon can kill everybody on the ground level of the gate, making it difficult for the defending realm to defend gate. This may work well in Ra where the population is more evenly distributed, but in Haven it will result in even easier invasions for Syrtis.

You can walk to flag, click it and stand there. Guards don't try to recap, they just attack you with little effect. I didn't see any attempt to recap.

People who care about the game will get frustrated by this shit.

Im sure you are sick of hearing it, but why deny what every soul in Ignis and Alsius know. Syrtis is the fucking zerg realm of the server. Syrtis have almost always had decent numbers the past few years, so dont come here and act like its some kind fair cycle that makes sure that everyone get their turn.

I think i been in the dragon camber three times and finished the noble quest three times as well. Sure i never really perused WM status either, but most of you achieve that in week now and during some other of your peaks.

I have never seen alsius dominate the server, Im not talking about some occasional low population and off hours against the current weaker realm during some hour of the day, but the whole fucking server pretty much 24/7.

I do have some months here and there that i cant account for, but from what i seen i find unlikely to have occured anything like what we have to deal with now.

Only time i ever seen Syrtis incapable of fighting back in force was some time after the capturable fort was introduced, when other realms got smart refused to get mindlessly farmed by Syrtis. I guess boredom got to you back then and hopefully it will sometime soon again.

But i doubt it considering how many tards your realm is hosting atm.

These arguments are ridiculous. You aren't going to change the other person's perspective nor is arguing going to achieve anything, so why bother? This thread is to discuss the recent update, not argue over realm balance. Please make a separate thread for it if you need to vent. This drama just encourages NGD to dismiss the content of this entire thread.

Didnt you start it all? It would have been easy enough to ignore Slarti's troll attempt, considering that you are such a wise forum user.
