Grave rumours, Homins

[kibsword]

The matis army was huge, and I was amazed we were able to keep everyone together, but once we got in a good battle with the boss he took less than a minute to die as I remember. We then went to help our tryker allies, and eventually got united with them and killed it

Very fun =)

nice to see all races experienced the same... as we did in fyros... and later for some of us in zorai...

Great to see we have overwon these kitin beings...

But how long will this... rest period last... ?

Who can tell...?

So i propose... a big party... on neutral grounds.. for al 4 races... to meet each other... to party this overwhelmed victory... anyone got suggestions...... give me a tell in Ryzom... or post it here... cos a global victory like this on 4 fronts... must be celebrated... and makes new paths for us in near future... ..

The Trykers did amazingly well Although early in the evening i thought the 1 full group of Ravens(+Threbus of Atys Ghosts and a little later Wlaas of Evolution) was all that was going to be around to fight the Kitins off, But Atys Ghosts, Evolution and Other Trykers guild ( sorry I cant remember all of them) Showed about an hour or so later and the Tryker Army was formed but by this time there were NO guards left alive at any tower...

The Swathes of Kitins we had to kill to get to Kipyruk ( not sure on that spelling ) was scary

The Trykers and one Huge Zorai Tryker wannabe ( Hi Xorte ) fought bravely and well like a Slow moving but unstoppable Kitin killing mass. We reached The Area of the Boss and Setup a Base at Cute Spring Research centre and began to pull the Bosses minions.

We then heard that Zorai and Matis had Killed thier Bosses and that some of the Matis Army was coming to help.

The Brave Tryker forces were slaying the minions with little problem until it came to kill the Elite "uber OMG how hard are they even the little ones hit for nearly 3k damage per hit" Kinreys they Wiped us out to all but one lone man Alex Of the Ravens had managed to Survive and was in a nearby lake wounded but alive.

I have to say i have never seen so many People get ressed so fast it was truely inspiring and nicely organised it was like a single wave of healing sweeping the field of dead bodies
The minion killing resumed in short order , Partol after patrol and more and more minions were killed but still the Kinrey remained, It was time again to deal with them, and Again they proved too much for the Valiant Tryker forces but we had learnt from our first encounters and 4 Trykers survived (including me )and some of the kinrey actually fell to our blades and magics. Due to actual healers surviving this time ressing the Army was no problem even though it was more tight for time due to a Kitin patrol attacking us as we returned to ress the rest.
The Matis Army was on its way now to reinforce our numbers but they seemed to have some trouble in our Lakeland terrain and were either slowed by the Masses of Kitins or beaten back I am unsure.

It was time for try three agains the Kinrey mass but this time we were winning, Kinrey were falling and not us then the Cruelest of fates happened a Kitin patrol Engaged our rear ranks Slaying Our healers with frightening speed the shout of Retreat was heard and a rolling retreat to the safety of the nearby lake happened and a small group of Trykers survived but this time the Kitins did not retreat in time to enable us to Ress our Army.

We Regrouped but our number seem depleted I assume due to tiredness and War wounds so a smaller Tryker army met and joined with our Matis Allies that had come to help clear the Kitins out of the Lakelands.

About this time News of Fyros's Victory reached us.
Our Journey to the Boss was alot easier I assume because of our previous slaying of several hundred Kitins . We now had the company of many Guides giving silent moral support .
The battle with the boss was hard but suprisingly short. It was a bit chaotic but it fell and we Rejoiced at our effort and that of our allies and friends from Matis ( and one Zorian )

It was fun although after our epic struggles before the Matis arrived the final battle felt a liitle of an anticlimax. But none the less a very fun but very long evening .
Thanks to Phaedrea for her Company from the the begining and her Sagely advice
and Thanks to all that Partook in the event either equiping the guards or in the final Epic battle.
and thanks to the events team for a nice Event even though there were some problems it was a huge event and nicely done considering this

It was nice to see all the Guilds of Tryker working together and then Matis and Tryker working together.

Thank you Rakevich for an awesome invasion report!

Blerg. Usinuk? Your opinion SUCKS! I would love to see you giving up night after night of your free time to give the player-base a great event. Thank you SO much Shads for controlling this event to the best of your ability. The majority of us understand that the negative elements of this event had nothing to do with you. We so appreciate what you did to give us the most awesome and uber invasion ever! Shads, you rock!!!

[tangie]

Would have helped if the boss was killable at an average of 1k damage a second with 80 people attempting to get it (subtle hint - hp regeneration rate doesn't need to match the hps). Was very depressing to see a group organized so well only to meet with a design flaw despite all the best efforts of players, and no staff responding to cries of 'um, this doesn't look right' for almost an hour. And yes, maybe we do need more players in the great effort - but this reminds me distinctly of the very first event held on the server, where a GM finally killed off the boss after it killed everyone.
.

Design fault ? did it ever occur to you the design was correct and that possably you and everyone there wasn't doing things right ?

From the parts i participated in during the invasion , i had uber fun , including bashing a boss mob for over an hour and a half . Instead of running off to moan and whine about it , i put my thoughts into trying to think what would be required to complete the task

[andreaw]

Usinuk. I don't see what Jolt, or the events team, have to do with any of your gripes. As far as I understand it, Nevrax produced and created this event. They also directed what info could or could not be passed on to the players. Attacking the EE events team utterly and pointlessly sucks imo. You attack the team, you attack Shads as far as I'm concerned. Attack Shads and you attack us all. She gives her all, not only to the game but to the player-base. As far as I see it Shadowwe gives her utmost to create awesome events for our server - just check out the number of replies on the Atispotle section of the boards compared to all the other shards. Shads is our events co-ordinator, therefore the amazing response to our boards is down to her and her alone.

[jdrake]

I must say that I for one enjoyed the event to the fullest, don't know what Usinuk's problem was (maybe a slow internet connection) The Matis army lead by the fearless General Kibs, plowed through the Insidious Evil Kitin Krowd. Granted a few died and others had the misfortune to DC but in the end we emerged victorious!! IMHO, thats what this game is all about, having fun, not nitpicking at perceved problems, this is all new to everyone and you must expect a bit of confusion in these things.

In the real world, a war, has what has been termed by some to be, "The Fog of War". This was well re-created in our little virtual combat we just experanced, I have only respect and gratitude for the EE CSR team (if you looked at the /who gm list, you would have noticed everyone from the SGMs, GM's, SG's and guides were all active) that worked day and night to make this a truly memorable event for me and for my guild mates that joined in the fun. You guys and gals ROCK!!!

I for one can't wait to see what else the future has in store for us all in the Saga of Ryzom.

I for one,thought it was a great event and i full appriciate the time the csr team and shadowweb put into it, I agree that at the start I and others didnt know what we where ment to do but,i enjoy working things out rather than have someone hold my hand all the way through the event. i find that working things out on my own or with the help of other players to be much more rewarding
Regarding the CSR team,i think we have the best lot out there (this is not a suck up) looking back on all the events run by the CSR team,i was surprised at how many i could name,scavinger hunt in nooblands,the races,the riddle week,the pantos,the stories from around atys,the player weddings,the support to guild run events,tecapio's fight tables(these just off the top of my head) and all repeated in all four lands. All of these run by our CSR team. Just checking the U.S. boards they had none of these.The CSR team make a good game great,and give up their time (when they could be playing) for free to support us. so once again thanks to nevrax and the csr team for a most enjoyable week
