What's up with Ely's site? The number of people has been decreasing lately. Will you do something about it?

As you noticed on last weeks, ely side sieges are week and phatetic, was to manny "wannabe" leaders ho ruined the ely cooperation in sieges even more. and some ppl quited game becose of that,ppl with xforms rank... but that's the game.. some ppl can't take it, some ppl give up. another ones join the server.. everything its natural, some ppl cry and says " fk this server, we cant take sillona for our legion, i quit" it's a game after all and we need to relax and enjoy, like yday siege... none needs to panic. 2 months ago was asmo in this direction.. 

The point is we need work as a team in sieges like we did this yday siege in Katalam/Danaria as @Cama say. We where out number but still the positive and good coardination lead us to win. So what I want to say here is we will lose some time and win, but ppl. need to now or if they don't now how we can tell them how and what to do in siege to get a chance. My guess is Elyos jumped to asmos because elyos are not good at sieges but this all can change.

Some people left for other servers, some people simply stopped playing because they are demoralized. The mood on the Elyos side is not great at the moment, but it goes up and down all the time. I think people are too focused on sieges and they forget that there is much more to the game than that. I understand that losing sieges constantly can be frustrating, but a few months back, the roles were reversed. There is a lot of bad blood on the Elyos side at the moment and the language barriers certainly do not help either. There are no real faction wide plans for siege, and it shows.

It seems like we're getting a grip on sieges.

Almost 1 month later and the situation is just getting worse. People are leaving every day, and the Asmodians clearly show that they are toying with us by this point. They can absolutely crush us anytime they set their minds to it. We are starting to have problems even assembling enough people to take any fortress at all on sieges. I am not sure what can be done about it, but the stress on the Elyos side is showing in all other parts of the game as well, not just the sieges.

 Asmos in general ALWAYS leveled up faster than elyos,(due to quests that give signiifaicant way much more exp than ely quests in similar zones)no wonder most people choose asmo side .

Ely side is pretty much drama from one certian person who insults everyone around,threat people like shit etc,so got your answer why elys are lazy and not enjoying playing on ely side . Not to mention dragging people to sieges number of players that actaully is 65 is below 100 on peak times cause ''how much time leveling takes'' got your answers ? .

Nope, not entirely true as the exp is balanced between both and the similarities of quests are on parallel. The problem is with leveling up that players are doing it wrong. Not seeing players use free exp-boost consumables that last an hour or so either (maybe they need more as 1 hour is not enough?).

We have an overpowered starter gear which you can use to skip maps (follow yellow main questline, ignore lightblue quests) as long as you can battle red quest-mobs and get more exp from higher level areas. Sell the coins you get from quest NPCs to vendors for kinah.

Once players pass the Ascension, they are free to skip most of the lightblue quests that hinder your progress and keep you in the same map longer. You're fighting against gray mobs, why? Of course, if you are a returning player for the nostalgia of old-school grind, more fun for you.

Drama I agree with. Also there are 3v3 Arena invitiations on LFG going on, than doing what's important to represent the Elyos force - do sieges, do gear farms to help fellow players. Help each other out than just helping your legion.

Social activities is the problem as no one wants to group and quest together for an hour to boost their levels 10-fold. Boys just want to be //foreveralone because you have a female character. What, still think having a male charater means you're a female player behind it? That's old news.

And then there's overpricing of items. If you want to overprice things, make sure you're going use that advantage to better your character and get out there to boost Elyos' standing. It's pointless to rip people off so you can get maxed ended gear just to sit around admiring your charcter and posting links on chat "hey, lookey here my weapon, hahaha! <Ultimate Weapon +50>". Seriously?

Like they say, "it's not the size that matters, it's how you use it".

Current problem that I'm observing on sieges is selfishness. Nobody bothers to follow orders. People are more interested in staying AFK to gain free GP/medals rather than do something that can help their faction.

Good example was today on siege with new lead. Out of 100 or so people that we had in league, good 25-30 were AFKing in Sillona, waiting for siege to be over while other part was trying to fight for Sillus while asmos were defending Prades from balaur.

Agree on that point as well. I am actually impressed by the new Elyos siege leader (Good job!), but it's tough when a mass xform call comes and you get maybe 3-4 people reacting to it instead of 50+ that it should be. If you are holding a high rank, you are the backbone of your faction at siege. I also do not like the call sometimes, and maybe I would prefer to use my form somewhere else for more credit, but if we do not unite and do not listen to calls we are never going to get back up from the dust. He calls for RG and half of the already small league is hanging back at our fortress, waiting to leech AP or get credit from attacking asmodians.
