Alsius Horus status - Page 3

Wodin · 06-18-2009, 03:42 PM

Hi...

I read this topic with very much attention, and althought i dont usually go agaist "jurassic" players because they really know more than i do, i think i have a word to say in the matter of Alsius realm in Horus, because i play it since the very first hour of the first day it opened!

I had 3 chars in Alsius RA and moved to Horus in the first day of the server as long as my brother.

Since then, we meet lots of great players, and some horrible bastards (guess that happens in all realms). I have now 2 lvl 50 chars, and no fun in playing.

Since the first day of the game, i still dont see any positive aspect in being an utghar, unlike being an dark elf or an elf...

I played and died for hours and times over times, and i always thought it would get better in time... but its not! There were times when i went to batle again and again and again, but not anymore... i just dont play much now! I rather be at my PS3 playing agaist my brother and friends. (Btw... my brother, Sparta, dont play much now as well).

For me... the solution should be more players and good balance... and NGD just dont care! If its true that we see kailer and such working, wtf is they'r Marketing section???? Why dont they push the game to forums and advertisement in selected sites, like every other games????

They just care about new servers. I still dont know why do regnum have 2 german servers! IF the new dutch is about partnership... i can somehow understand... but 2 german servers and a dutch? Do they have so many players from there?

Enio... i'm playing less because i just dont have fun... sorry...
Znurre... i fought by your side in RA (you may not remember me), but Horus is a diferent thing... i die and dont get help, but i see ppl in my friend list online...

NGD... New noob zone is cool, but useless... try to give utghars some streght or defense, and give knights a 180º angle to they'r areas.

regards

No, it simply means that the 6 people that actually give a crap get to sit at the gate and waste 2 hours of their lives while not playing the game. Horus doesn't have the population for invasions to be functional.

In reality, the best way to increase participation in the warzone is to remove high level mobs from the inner-realm areas, not to introduce a broken and wildly untested mechanic.

Znurre, on Horus Pinos Crossroads is a damned circle. Every time when aggers is captured I see players running from save to fort one by one. And you can write anything in chat, set up banners, but only 10% (3-4 ppl) will pay attention to that.

Yes, war experience is much lower in Alsius Horus than on Ra, but I post that topic in other cause. This morning Ignis was at Aggers. And we successfully killed them. But it is impossible to kill Master guard with 4 players without conju.

Comp, yes, war zone is boring. You can run through whole 3 kingdoms without meeting other players. But when you have not enough ppl to return empty fort... That is sucks!

Here we go!
THIS is the core of the problem!

Regnum is becomming more and more RvE, not RvR.
The introduction of invasions and with them Guard Captains, Realm Gates, etc...

It doesn't honor the individual players and their skills.
No matter how good a small party of people play, they can't stand a chance against the new mechanics.

This is no realm imbalance problem imo. it's a problem with the invasions as whole.

UmarilsStillHere · 06-18-2009, 04:12 PM

Invasions have been getting a hell of a lot of stick lately, If I opened a poll on wether players want that to stay or go then the results would be rather interesting I think... Infact Im going to go do that now...

Well nicely said, I fully agree with you.

Solarus, like that you have described would be very different on Syrtis. ;-)

What mechanic/mechanics are you referring to?

Dont cherry pick sections of other peoples posts and use them out of context.

ArchmagusArcana · 06-18-2009, 10:05 PM

I agree with a lot of what has been said here. Alsius is getting its ass kicked up and down because we are primarily a realm of warriors, a class which is effectively broken. We have the least effective quest items, the least amount of players, and with the effective death of warriors as a class, a lot of our high levels are either gone, or grinding other chars (like me).

Constantly getting invaded due to being a ranged vs ranged and ignis' (seemingly) 50% mage population, makes this game very frustrating to play. When you are always dizzy from mod, or get hit by 6-10 sultars, or even when rushing, cannot get close enough to a force attacking a gate to do any good, it makes a lot of people not want to play.

It seems that since ive been playing the realms have always been that of alsius as warriors, ignis as mages, and syrtis as archers. By default, even excluding all other arguments, this puts ignis in top position, and alsius on the bottom. I log onto my barb maybe once a week for about a half hour, the rest of the time i grind my lock (48 now) because at least i can get in a few kills and have a little fun before i die, instead of getting pulverized after taking 3 steps towards a target.

As for the fort wars an organization; yes, lack of organization is killing us. I always call when my sultar or mod is ready, as well as my warrior areas, i always ons before a charge, and when its ranged vs ranged, im up on the walkway with ons and owth on all our own ranged people. Ive seen time and time again, archers and mages asking SOMEONE, ANYONE to call a target so they can concentrate on taking people out one at a time.

The worst part is, when people do try to take charge, organize, and lead, no one fucking listens, and inevitably, the ones that make the biggest deal about following their own plans are the ones that cry the hardest when we get our asses kicked. I for one am willing to listen to the plans of othersl jsut because ive been playing for a long time on a lot of chars, doesn't mean im a better player than others or that their ideas are any less valid than mine, but it seems everyone wants to do their own thing instead of taking a second to think and talk and formulate a plan (hey, how about sending half a force around the other side of the fort while the other half charges in, so very effective, yet is always met with derision when i or anyone else suggests it).

I could go on and on and on about all of the various things wrong in Horus Alsius at the moment, but this is just my (not so) short weigh in on the issue.

Woden posted a bit ago regarding he doesn't get help when needed. I remember countless times we would get HANDED by Ignis and cries for help on Alsius Chat would request help at aggers, etc. Most would respond that they are busy leveling and many more would respond they they are too low level.

I TRULY enjoyed most of the players on Horus (a few were tits) and it's sad that the server is so under-populated. Perhaps instead of me bitchin' and moaning about it I should actively participate in growing the population.

So, I myself will commit to playing on Horus a few times a week...split my time between servers but make myself an advocate for the population of Horus...and slowly move full-time to Horus.

Over the next few days I'll send out some PMs to those I'd like to see move over to the server in hopes to bring the status of Horus to a whole new level.

I can not do this alone...and RA vets - I hope you can help. Lets get Horus populated.
