About invasions

[Wyatt]

Maybe the best solution to invasions(in regards to the gems) is to enable the "Gem lock" feature that was introduced in version 1.7.4 of Regnum. Though, I haven't really heard of this feature being active on any of the worlds. But, by far, blocking the gems from being picked up sounds like a reasonable solution during low population times.

Balance:

-New: System that deactivate the realm Gems during times of low population in the game world. The system doesn’t allow capturing the gems in predefined time schedules. During this time, the gems will be blocked by a visual effect.

Problem with gem locks is that it will only make the more populous realm at the time log off since there is no point in capturing forts just to kill the same 5 people over and over again and invading is just the next thing to do...

This will make any type of war at the time non existent as the population on the opposing side is near nothing for the numbers that are attacking.

Hoping this doesnt get deleted by "gamemod"

Wyatt,if i well remember this "block gem" feature as been tested on horus,during low popolation time for 1 week or so .

Does anyone remember it,or am i wrong? Oo

May be just my fantasy...but i remember it :S

Our nightly invasions are often followed by a Syrtis invasion against an empty Ignis and Alsius. Greens invade just as much as us and goats.. well who the fek cares about you guys anyway

[Aktor]

The best solution is NGD begin to care server, seems all is good in horus, seems no problems, players wont to play why?, because server is dead, some players warned a lot times at forum, who listened?, who care?.
Gem block as some updates before dont works, never worked, all know never worked, if NGD dont look for horus situation prolly close horus soon

[Aktor]

About invasions, invasions sucks because now is easy to invade, before wm update invade was something great, now is something easy, blame boats ruined invasions mechanisms, great fights at gates end, all realm broking gate inside now, realm with few players on cant avoid invasions, really miss old invasions, but where i hear wm update, balance update?, fake balance, wm spells, wm might (15% main attribute), difference between WM and lvl 50 seems same difference before lvl 35 agaisnt lvl 50

Most of the time Syrtis ever invades is during the weekend whilst Ignis invades during the week and weekend sometimes everyday for 3 days straight and more than once a day...

If Alsuis and Syrtis invaded as much as Ignis i doubt anyone would be complaining :|

I don't care much about invasions which happen during Horus off-time hours. But I would advocate it if invasion during off-time hours was harder than currently or even impossible.

To make it harder NGD could:
- disable boats during server-off time hours
- improve the miserable guard AI

or they could introduce the gem lock feature. Well or improve the current one (gem glitch bug)

And let Americans which can only play during off-time hours transfer to Raven or Ra. Of course they shouldn't be forced. But I guess playing on Raven server during American evening and early night is more fun than playing on a server where all realms except one are almost empty.

Strange that i track 21warriors 2 archers 8 mages,when underpopulated realms have to do some boss...really strange...

I have the screen on tracks done right the last week on horus...


Oh,was not at night...it was 19 gmt +1 ,... 21 2 8 .....still ask for underpopulated status.

It was not the track of 2 different zergs...this was only ignis try to do daen rha...lot of ppls can confirm,i will edit others pict and upload more screen shots of track,cause some one was hided by rocks etc.
This is also a proof,of how on horus,ppls like to invade empty realms...with that much you can try an invasion attempt,not only a stupid boss.
Here the other issue with some of boss drops...would be nice make em not tradable,then i want to see another track like that...


On topic,horus need different approach,different setup on invasion mechanism.
I also hope for some fusion,i just gone RA because of horus weird status.
And,seems that also RA popolation is decreased,not that much,but you can see the difference from 1 year ago.

I was not very accurate what I meant, you probably misunderstood me.

I have not meant that on Horus server there is generally a large realm population difference on Horus at all times. At times around 7 PM GMT to maybe 11 PM GMT (on weekend maybe 1 AM GMT) - when the server has it's biggest population - the realms are pretty balanced mostly. Even if Syrtis is at this time rather more populated than the others, but the difference is not huge.

I just meant that during off-time hours there is often a very bad realm population balance on Horus.
