So what did Ignis wish for THIS time?

If true, that's news to me.

EVER. From the night crew I hear the numbers were more around 20 syrtis (6 level 50) and 40 Ignis.

I think what was actually said was that 20 ignis DEFENDED their own gate against 60 syrtis. Sounds about right to me, I'm guessing the syrtis zerg ate a sultar, and then our barbs killed all the conjurers before they got up. 20 defending vs. 60 attacking at the realm gate is nearly an even fight, imo.

Dann, once again , your spot on, sometimes ignis doenst wanna wait at save for regroup, i like you , want to war, but we can be tragically outnumbered, but yeah, its just a game, so if i die , i die, it doesnt lose me xp, or items, so there really is no harm in it, but then, sometimes i have been known to wait for the reinforcements, but thats usually due to me dying a crapload of times lol (but thats mostly on my conju...hunter = charge machine :P )

And yeah, -xp can hurt the game, but some of Ignis, myself included, get sick and tired of the constant zergs, having to retake our forts 5 times a day, can get a bit on our nerves, so ignis gets mad at the worst offenders...syrtis.. and it does affect most of the realm, lvl 49 and below, i would be super pissed if i was a few hundred k from lvl 50 and trying to do it with no boosters or support...like someone pointed out, its a psychological thing.

Indeed,
This is more than a physical war, its turned into a psychological war. The hate and tensions between players has peaked, and to me they are the sole backbone of every decision.

When you have people in Syrtis like the Italians who do tactics I will not name, you will obviously have people in Ignis who will retaliate.

Its common sense, whining about it won't do anything. Although I don't agree with the invasions rewards, I'm going to just say here logically, that reading about people leaving Syrtis just because of a bonus is a laugh for me, it really does show weakness. I'm not here to point fingers, but if Ignis was in this position they would not be giving in to it, they would be busy organizing a revenge.

And there's your damn difference greenboys.

If you say so!

there is better alternative, but ignis can't pull it off without major dramorama.
yes, the option to be one, is kinda "drama loaded", but still. it's not like you are able to invade just once in a year.

having to retake our forts 5 times a day, can get a bit on our nerves, so ignis gets mad at the worst offenders...syrtis..

this made me laugh hard. so here we (alsians) are, fighting with syrtis over trele. while we bang on door, aggers gets taken by ignis. oh well, we take trele, run to agg, take it back fast enough. meanwhile syrtis is back in trele, so re run back there. of course aggers gets taken by no less than... ignis... ping-pong repeats until both syrtian and ignean armies gets tired.

next day... while alsians are fighting with syrtis at aggers, imperia gets taken by ignis. not herb, not efe. it's allways gangbang at alsian lands.

lately it seems to me that ignis and syrtis just doesn't have balls to fight with each other more than one or two times a day, so alsius gets gangbanged all the time.

"retake our forts 5 times a day, can get a bit on our nerves..." laughable, when alsius faces with 5 forts a hour sometimes.

This is the EXACT reason I posted what I did to my INQ clanmates (which was quoted a few pages back). The "night crew" (as we are affectionately known) have had to defend against most if not all of the Ignis invasion attempts on Horus. Maybe if those who play during our day were in our shoes, the taste for revenge might be there. If we could ever get our numbers sufficient at night, you can be sure there would be attempts as I most certainly want revenge - not necessarily for me (I finally hit level 50 so the XP means nothing) but for the lower levels who now have to contend with the -XP "reward" or any other bonus Ignis decides to choose for itself.


Nuff said.

I agree with Aknor. The lack of attacks into ignis by the peak team, really displays a lack of balls.

Here we are with negative exp, and even today with six more days of this, there are people on realm chat, "lets take Trelle, go to Pinos." It really burns me.

I've said things on realm chat and get the "We want to have fun." "shut up" treatment.

For a few months I never even went into Alsius. There is no point in fighting there. If Syrtis attacks Alsius when Ignis already holds another fort there, then the Syrtians in that group are simply cowards and RP whores. If we fight in Alsius under negative exp from Ignis, then we are morons...and we are filled with morons.

Let the whining and equivocating begin.

[Malik2]

And one more thing...

Even during our successful invasions of Ignis, there are always those idiots on realm chat saying, "you are wasting your time" "You will never get thier gate down" "The goats took Stone, come back and help"

They are defeated even before we took the first step toward the gate. Remind me never to have you on my side in a pick up game of anything. You people are morons too.

Grumph.

Where's my metamucil!

i was actually amazed that even when getting invaded by ignis and getting -xp on top, syrtis didn't bother with attacking ignis forts at all. (at least while i am on - that would be eurodayshift). RPfarming is nice and keeps morale up, but seriously - are you really too afraid to attack iggies? (personally i find battles with ignis to be more entertaining than with syrtis, but most of my realm disagrees)
