also i would like to congratulate lvl1 ignis lurking around gem after gate was closed, i hope they didn't get killed by syrtis group, coming 2 minutes later

Considering it was your first time defending, ok well not first but the other times don't count, you all did really well. Syrtis has had lots of practice lately so we've got it down to a science. Anyway as you said you've learned and next time will be even harder (/me shudders at the thought). Hope to see you all at your gate again sometime

As for the level 1 ignis... I don't know who they were or I'd scold them

Sincerely,
Arwen

Im not sure on this but I have been told that the one Ignis jem we captured, is no longer in syrtis, To my knowledge we have not been invaded so were is it?

Im starting to suspect bug abuse since this happened with an alsius jem too, and we have seen in the images forum an Alsius knight trying to climb syrtis wall, which suggests its possible...

haha yeah, i've heard that glitching into other realm is still possible well whoever did steal our gem (and if anyone actually stole it, it could be one of many stupid shits wrote on Syrtis realm chat), I hope you had fun doing it.

Hey that was just run up to the wall and... boom, you're teleported to your altar. I'm not sure why, either. What I do know is that we found it by accident. I think it's the same thing that teleports us away when we get too close to alsius inner gate when atacking it.

Problem is that the gate respawns rather too quickly.... so you'd otherwise get stuck in the other realm trying to bash the door down again (which takes freaking ages, at least the Syrtis gate does. Alsius isn't so bad and I hear you got ours down in under 3 minutes :? Bit of imbalance there?).

As for being the first to invade a "defended" realm (you invaded while I was asleep, that's unsociable you know ).... You're also the first to run repeatedly into a castle and all get slaughtered, so.... Congrats on finally managing it, anyway.

This is a video from the first battle where Ignis defended well and defeated Syrtis army. This was probably the biggest battle in Horus till now. 20mins later Syrtians were banging to our gate...

Wow.. That's what a Horus war is like?

There was so little communication.. No area rushes... So few people..

I really don't know. I came home, logged on and poof "Ignis gate is broken".

[n4gh4sh]

there was mostly LAG. I had problems even with picking somebody because of it. I switched off talk screen to show more action in the video.

btw after watching my video i think i could play better . I think that more than half of ppl from Ignis was <40lvl, some were <30lvl. To many of them it was one of the first battles. I would't expect any teamplay from them.

I'm sure all the gates have the same ammount of HP. The only imbalance is in the choices made by the defenders. As I said before Syrtis has defended our gates enough times to know what works and what doesn't. I'm sure next time you won't make the mistakes that we saw happen.

Hmmm.... yea, we're working on that... believe me. But if you've ever played in Syrtis (and even if you haven't) you know why they keep doing that...

Oh and next time I'll check to make sure you're on before we invade

I believe Mele said it best on our way to the gate... "This is like a Trelle party on Ra"

I think Surak made some manipulation at the gate. I noticed him logging on and off several times before the invasion...
