True, but if the Seren is taking part, I always feel obliged to join in if I stay. I'd rather log off and find out how it went afterwards

A lotta warning has caused problems with people, now that we were given only 50 minutes to prepare the only ones to really pull it together in those 50 minutes was Magnagora. It was said too much time and preperation was bothersome and now that there was little of it and few people around caused major problems here.

Also, Ive a few questions about Wild Nodes if someone could try to answer?

Is anyone who goes up during the event supposed to have the Astral Survival skill?
Are Shrines supposed to be active during the event? I saw two deaths on Astral for a shrine.

Darn I missed it Someone have the final tally?

EDIT: and will they always be on Sundays? Sunday's always a busy day for me

Magnagora: 3100ish
Serenwilde: Didn't check. Maybe 50?
Everyone else: 0

We got 26.

As this was my first wildnodes event... is it usually any different?

I think cubixes should be nerfed a bit for these events... every organization can't be expected to have one, and an organization with one is just a powerhouse. There's no beating it.

Don't the cubixes only make a difference in the first few minutes of the event? Before it becomes 'brave the demesne'?

The cubix didn't really have a large effect this time around. Kaervas beat me to 5/6 of the nodes by just running. Since he didn't have to head back to Capricorn to plant before he could go for another like I had to do with the cubix. Next time though around I'll probably change my tactics a bit to conserve more time.

It didn't: Celest isn't up to scratch and thus any strategy is negated by Magnagora's sheer force.

Its a nice idea in theory, but in practice its pointless at the present.

As Morik says, we didn't have enough people to overwhelm Magnagora at any one point. Also, it's harder for us to get down than for other orgs anyway, so rotation without heartstop or suicide runs isn't really an option.

Cubix should be inactive during wild nodes and something really needs to be done about astralwide demense summon...

Yes and yes. These two things would vastly improve the event.

Demesne summon should be made local area only.

And make Rage/Terror local area for the even regardless of the phase. It happened again that the game was scheduled during a New Moon but thankfully Glomdoring didn't participate. Rage/Terror would offer too much of an advantage in this game if it was plane-wide. Area-wide is all we should get.

I think someone needs to call the..



Anyhoo, it was good fun. Watching Daevos and Kaervas in action was quite the sight to behold. Even if cubixes are nerfed from the event, Magnagora will still own all competition. And yes, that is a challenge.

Now, now let's not get cocky...

Truth is, we rely too much on Daevos and Kaervas. If one of them isn't around, we might put up a good fight, but I have my doubts regarding victory.

Want a proof? Shanthmark. We were doing poorly when neither were around, then Kaervas showed up, gaining us more villagers and when Daevos came around, his leadership -REALLY- helped Magnagora toget the upper hand.

Now, don't get me wrong. I am not saying Magnagora sucks without Daevos and Kaervas, we can put up a good fight but the final result certainly won't be the same.

Oh, gee, thanks for being an asshole. I am so glad to be enlightened by your vast wisdom. How about you listen to what someone says before commenting, you little ? I was saying our own tactics were just as lame, and the only ones that were possible given the piece of crap that is Lusternian combat.

I'm glad to see the wonderful supportive nature of our kind community in action.


Edit: Do you honestly think being able to greaterpentagram every entrance to your sphere is a fair and honest tactic? I'm just curious here.

It was possible to get by the greater pent, I hate to break it to you but you lacked proper tactics.

Yeah, a lot of people I've talked to have noticed this. Magnagora still gets a lot of victories, but it relies far to much on a few individuals, mostly the people who have been around since near the beginning of the game. Thats why I think its funny when the nobodies in Mag get all cocky about winning

Heh. Thing is, one of the top people is aaaalways around. Daevos still needs to show us his total playing time.
