Alsius on Horus

NyteFyre · 09-04-2008, 04:13 PM

I'm not an "old-time" player like Refetan, or Plover, but I would like to say a couple of things:

Hats off to you people in Alsius on the Horus server. You guys are a true force to be reckoned with when you gather your troops, and storm through the realms. I have to admire a group that is capable of such good tactics and strategy. Even as frustrating as it can be to watch "the enemy" defend a fort inside Syrtis, it's typically a *very* impressive job you guys do.

Hopefully, when the Syrtis mage population comes of age, and more of them become available in the warzone to provide support, we'll make a better match for your 1 mage to every 2 damage-dealers warparty setups.

It's almost a shame that there is no inter-realm chat, but I totally understand why NGD chooses not to allow that. There are a few of you out there that I admire, and would like to extend a "tip of the hat" to on occasion. guess I'll just have to try to sneak in a quick bow here and there, or maybe a wave. The problem is that in-game, that can also be interpreted as an insult...

I will admit that there are a few of you out there who don't deserve much more than an arrow between the eyes, but I'll try to keep this post as positive as possible. You know who you are.

I look forward to more battle in the wz with you, without the challenges you present, there would be much less enjoyment from this game.

Respectfully,

/me slaps that post,

so far i have seen alsius as save camping 4 times, thats from my 5 trips into WZ Alsius Ra should be asamed of the few of you on horus dragging the realm down, I find it incredibly lame that on Ra I realy feal for Alsius and how much there wz is occupied by hunters and raid partys, Yet on Horus as soon as they can, they have its shamefull...

Also dont start handing out cookies yet theres maybe 7 players in the war zone at one time, alsius has the most 50's its only normal that they are dominating, meanwhile everyone else is busy lvling... its just a matter of time

I am not saying Alsius is without problem players. But I am saying that they are *far* more organized than we are. I totally agree that there is savecamping and gatecamping going on by some disreputables out there... however, my post is specifically directed at some of the tactics and strategy being utilized. there are both good and bad players on both sides of the field.

And if you've only been to the wz 5 times now... how could you possibly know how many ppl are out there at once?

Either way, I'm not trying to turn this into an argument, just making some observations.

numbers taken from experiance and also from what I have heard

I guess this early that near saves are the only real place to find players... once the server grows it will be fine, (I allways loved CS as a place of safety on RA anyone within 20M dies in about 10 seconds XD)

Nytefyre,

I am speaking for myself in this post. I too am not an "old-time" player like some of these other folks. I would also like to say that higher level persons like yourself and us running into other mobs have led us to develop these tactics. While you see us having our stuff together I see us as having an organized chaos. Also feed back from your players have led us to behave more cohesively at times as they let us know where some of our weak points are.

I like a tactic that I have seen you Syrt guys use where one of the high levels takes one of the low levels out and escorts them around the wz. I dont know if it is routine, accident or just because, but it is a good tactic to get up and comers used to being out there.

One thing I would recommend for some of the newer Syrt players is to wait until you have a group prior to attacking. A lot of times when we are defending these forts and succeeding it is because rather than attack as a team (all realms are really guilty of this at one time or another) your guys bum rush the fort in singles. Also I noticed the Syrt folks go afk a lot (afk running, afk in the woods) and that tends to help increase tensions when you come back to your screen and you have to respawn at the altar.

For the most part all realms have some people that save camp, its not something we promote, but you know statistics someone has to screw something up for someone.

Lol, I have alot of respect for Alsius, certenly a bit more organisation then us, but i'm not one to complain. Oh and Nyte, guess who.

DO A BARREL ROLL!!!

Not much to add really.

Respect to Alsius 95% honorable only a small minority making it tough. Same for Ignis too. The good thing is we are all growing together.

Here's to Horus

and honourable enemies. (Mostly)

A lot of you guys out there in alsius are honorable but its the same in all realms as sydonay pointed ou there are always people who spoil it. Ive enjoyed the fights weve had if not been frustrated at times mostly with our little noobs who think they can conquer the world at lvl 20. Generally though hats off guys you make us think about what we are doing and how we can make it better

regards
