Add to that that quite a few alts are in these rankings too.

I admit that invading when it is the best time is a tactic but there is nothing that the actual players in Alsius can do against. After all this is a game and there is a real life that is hopefully more important for everyone.

I also admit that Ignis is likely setup well regarding building subgroups and giving specific tasks to the people. But then it is easy to fulfill your orders if you do not lose any players because you outnumber the others.
Maybe Ignis wold fare better than others when numbers are even, proving their tactics, player skills and leadership. Might very well be also because they get some good training when trying with less enemies online.

There are good players on every side and actually for Alsius I sometimes wish for better and more tactics, sometimes it works well sometimes it is a bit messy. If all of Tyr's would still be active the situation would be a bit different.

Also I see quite a few people starting to ignore the invasions a bit because it is futile anyway to try to resist Ignis at these hours. So they try to level instead. This is fair enough but sucks a bit for the higher levels who try to hold off the invasion.

Anyway I think that Alsius is getting stronger and I guess both other realms admit that and there are some nice fights with Syrtis at times.

I Love The Alargos/Herb Trelle/Aggers Fights!!! Best in the game

This is th truth

what happens when we get both the castle and a fort? You go to the gate because it's easier, som accuses you for bugabusing, it's possible and I'll record every gate attempt from now on (since last time) if people uses it, last time no one did which was good, but it is possible and I hear my realm mates complaining about it, I wasn't there but I have no reason not to believe them, either it's lag or it's what they say it is, and since it's possible some players might probably use this "tactic" as well as creating level 1 players, bugging into an enemy realm, creating spies etc.

also for jumping the lowest fence, why else would you explain that ignis only tries to invade when there's close to no one online to defend?

again I would like to thank the syrtis off peak squad for great play

The dissapointing thing is, Ignis has yet to see the same qualities in the other realms on Horus, its quite sad actually, all those knights in alsuis? very tough to beat , And syrtis...all those locks and archers, you get your act together, could be a devastating force.... so many good players in all the realms, it shouldnt be so easy for us .

And whether are not your online at the invasion attempts, well..its a 24 hour game, we manage it, why cant you?

all I see is straight subjectiveness, here's the fact, the majority of syrtis players are european and are sleeping while you invade

So please, why not put the energy your wasting whining and use it to rally your troops and come get our gems, to be honest, its getting a little boring invading you guys all the time...... come knock our gates down and give us a challenge for once

I'm not whining I'm stating facts and adding fuel to the fire so I can have some more fun watching this XD.

when you invade it's not past our dinner time, please try to understand that, most people are sleeping, I have a job, I need to work I can't quit my job to play regnum online, other people go up to have school, they can't quit their education to play regnum online.

zerg mind, to the max... <(^^)> <"lala I can't hear you, we opened the portal so I won't listen to you, we're awesome because we can kill guards LOL we're cool haha omg look at this, I KILLED A GUARD, All of syrtis belongs to me"

[Xero_Aurion]

*sighs* This is a pointless arguement...

I normally don't talk on these forums but here goes...*facepalms*

We all know that there are problems on the game one way or another...And the fact is that we can't simply solve them with a snap of our fingers (so complaining helps? Ehhhh....not really... ) Anyways...it seems that with these problems some of them can be brought back to our real lives outside the game...

You work a job and can't go on? Okay sure!
You go to school? Completely understandable!
You're sleeping or being active in a social manner (friends)? Not a problem!

I'm sure NDG is trying to do what they can...but an arguement such as this won't help matters at all...Who knows? Maybe it's getting them pissed? XD But seriously to the older and more mature players I'm sure you all know a simple solution to this. Ignoring such posts perhaps?

Don't forget we probably have a variety of ages on this game as well...now think about it...what good is ranting on someone who is potentially younger than you? Not good at all...espically if they don't understand :P I'm sure parents could relate to this XD Anyways if you want to know who the smart players are (on here) it would probably be the ones who don't even comment on posts like this (I'm sure alot of you have figured that a while ago...and don't use that last statement against me...unless you're a cop >.>)

The main point is this is a game and people can do what they like in games up to a certain degree of course. You've decided to get to the game to play. But don't let the game get to you o.O Let alone these "Realm rants" as I like to call them...

...And that's all I can think of to say...

I was the hunter standing at the front of the pack on Saturday night when Ignis invaded Alsius. I was lvl 39 that night. Next to me were two chars that were "yellow" to me. Everyone else was "easy" or "very easy" shades of green. I was casting surv and calling out numbers. Ignis had 15, and all were higher lvl than me. More showed up after the gate fell. I doubt that we had 10 players. When Ignis attacked, how long did it take to kill everyone at the gate, and get to the gate guards? 20 sec maybe...?

That's imbalance not bad tactics.

We have a few players that think it's a good idea to abandon gate defense and run off to try and retake Agg. With the party at the gate, we couldn't dent agg if it were undefended. Our bad. I stay, shake my head, and wait for them to run back or res at the wall. Would we have missed them had the attack happened while they were gone? Yep. We would have been dead in 15 sec instead.

That's bad tactics and imbalance.

Some players couldn't watch, and logged...

That's apathy contributing to imbalance.

After the gate fell and the "gem battles" were over, Ignis hunting parties were roaming the land having fun. This is the point were I started to get aggravated with my own realm. Party and Clan chat were silent. Realm and general were flooded. A couple of players just couldn't STFU on realm to let me and others hear lower lvl chars trying to describe where they had been killed and give locations. Their cries were immediately pushed off of the screen. Realm chat is usually useless for anything in battle, Ignis certainly has chars listening to it, but lower lvl chars don't know that and sing out there.... Some mid lvl chars were sadly contributing to the noise by going on and on debating about nothing useful and drowning out any attempts at re-organization.

That's just plain bad tactics.

Ignis split up to raise some hell and contribute to the confusion. We bumped into each other, attacked one at a time, ran in different directions and added more spam to chat.

Good tactics on Ignis part.

After about a half an hour and quite a few trips to the save, we managed a small hunting party (thanks Lust for bringing some order back to the chaos). As we started to zero in on the larger Ignis party, one member decided to try and derail any useful conversation with an extended discussion of the construction of the roof at the Yeti save. I finally had had it for the day. I let out a string of all caps, sat down and logged. I was apparently the only hunter on at the time....

We were out numbered, out classed, and our own worst enemy for a while. Alsius has a lot of heart, and a lot of great players, but I think the apathy generated from the imbalance got the best of us that night.

I cracked a beer and started thinking that maybe I should just log from now on and say the hell with it too, but then I remembered something that made it worth it. Just after the gate fell, and the lead Ignis were running to the gem, I caught Smurv while camo and fired a shot at him. He jumped into a bush.

In a nutshell, there is an imbalance. Psychological, and physical. There are lessons to be learned. People are leveling. I'm leveling. Maybe things will come together. Guess I'll stay logged on for a few more and update my ignore list. Maybe I can get Smurv to pick me some more blueberries

when you invade it's not past our dinner time, please try to understand that, most people are sleeping, I have a job, I need to work I can't quit my job to play regnum online, other people go up to have school, they can't quit their education to play regnum online.

Like Smurv said, we seem to have a more even flow of players in Ignis, (this is what i meant by its a 24 hour game, and im assuming you guys bitch alot in your main chat, we have seem to have collected a lot of ex syrtis players who are sick of the poor leadership in your realm boosting our numbers a little)



I work, i have kids to take to school, i have a life too, but funily enough, how many of your invasion attempts have you seen me at the door? very few, because your attempts are at our off peak times , but thats us just running round in cirlces whining and finger pointing....


And as for when you guys are about to invade and we head for the gate,...
do we not attenpt to get out forts and castle back at all? actually we do, but once we see its pointless because your numbers are greater, of course we head to our wall, is that not where you are coming next? logic dictates to us that where we go to defend, then after you guys have got beaten off the gate (which, we manage with lower numbers how?...,,better players maybe? more co-ordination and ...uh oh...tactics!!) then we go get our forts back. But we have been left standing at our gate for the second two hours of a vunerable gate becase our low numbers couldnt get our forts back, and you still couldnt invade during those 4 hours, maybe were left like that because of the lvl1 noob standing inside our gate keeping an eye on our timer counting our numbers, as our main players start logged on or came off thier alts, you guys give up too easy.

I remember the times before the invasions, we were repeatedly zerged by you guys, and funnily enough , we all kinda have the same guys playing, the same sort of numbers, so whats changed?

Oh i know.....Ignis got good.

Then you have guys like bloodmoon/silvermoon/ironfist (oh lulu, why you realm hop so much? tell the nice people) talking bit talk and getting your noobs to try and invade us, taking forts, then , they get zerged and disheartened and leave..ususly for ignis, so blame your higher levels for not doing a better job, it sems all you want is rp, when all we want is a good old fashoined rumble, noob killing isnt much fun now, so get with the programme, its a 24 hour game, so if your not happy our main core of players are on when you sleep, live with it or go find a game where there are no invasions and only 'pvp' so all 3 realm, stop moaning and play the game.

and just so you know...i have only been at 2 invasions, because , its not at my playing time, i have stayed up, but thats only twice in how long? im a defender it seems, but im willing to once and a while, stay up and see how its done, and good job on the tactics and leadership, and if i find out who is sending low levels in to your realm to cheat, i will not ever help them in the game, cheating sucks, i play with what ngd gives my char, i die, so what, i can res and come back staff ablaze.

and here is the screenies of one of your invasion attempts, two realm against our low numbers, and we still seen you off, i have tons, but two wil suffice, theay are all pretty much the same


the defenders.....




and our attackers, trust me, alot more of you appeared from the distance right after this, but i was too busy casting to screenie it.

It sums up some of my experiences very well .

Don't get too frustrated with the lack of coordination sometimes.
We need to have people listen to those who know good tactics and not to those who talk the most. It will get better and you know that Alsius needs people like you.
