San d'Oria: concerning conquestFollow

#1 Jun 08 2008 at 6:43 AM Rating: Excellent
I recall a time, when San d'Oria was always the #1 contender, against Windurst, for conquest, each week. I have, however, not seen Sandy with even a glimmer of influence, for probably at least 3 months! What happened, to all the San d'Orians, on Bismarck? They seem to have taken up the role, that Bastok had for, years. I have a ton of CP on my San d'Orian character, that I'd really like to use, sometime this year. Currently I'm watching the conquest map, with about 15 minutes remaining, and it looks like zero areas, again, this week, except Ronfaure... Smiley: oyvey

/sea all san
746 people

/sea all bas
610 people

/sea all win
665 people

/sea all
2622

Obviously some people are /anon

San d'Oria has the most people, most likely because it is the first choice of the three when you make a character.

I agree though, what the hell is going on? I remember too when San d'Oria was always in first, and Bastok was always in last.

2nd and 3rd place nations do get a conquest bonus for exping in areas not owned by their nation... but I think this can't be the case for Bastok and Windurst being in first because San d'Oria being in last would get the bonus everywhere. I guess people from San d'Oria just aren't exping as much in Conquest areas?

Yeah it sucks. :( I've had some extra CPs now for a while and I'd like to get myself an aketon with the CP I have, but since Sandy needs to be in 1st to get it, no aketon for me.

Either people aren't getting signet or there's not enough San d'Orians xp'ing low level jobs.

The reason is a LS Named THEBASTOKNIGHTS. They have a sh*tload of members and are all in conquest area, Doin alot of rank missions and basically siglle handedly tilting the conquest points to where they rightfully belong...that's right...BASTOK!!!

im just mad i have only been able to do 5 areas.. 2 useless since i started in feb.... i would really like to have my OPs for places like tav, xcar, sanc of zi, etc... i mean these are almost needed nowadays for time saving.

i know on a l=old server i had the player base would poll which area to take, as in sandy take gusta this week for ops and such, worked well and made it easy to get around, maybe we could do something like this.

It's probably from so many people going to the ToAU areas earlier than normal. Anymore, ToAU opens up for EXP possibilities during the 50s. Before the expansion, you could still go to the Boyahda Tree, or any other original areas.

Personally, I'm about to just change allegiance.

I would join...finish up my sandy missions and get me rank 10. Then get me rank 10 for Windy and then I'll join and you can get me rank 10 for Bastok.

I need teh gils so I stopped xping to fish. I should have a couple hundred k in a couple days. I wasn't able to get on at all today due to stuff I had to do and the next couple days will be hectic so until I can afford some new gear I'm taking a fishing break.

Thanks to Fauregandi being under beastman control and San d'Oria being in third, it's hard to make Apple Pies! =(

I've actually been paying attention for quite a while.

For a very long time I was waiting for San'dOria to reach 1st in conquest so I could buy a Tunic.

I'm guesstimating that was 7 months ago minimum. Having watched every week, I can recall only once has San'dOria taken first in that amount of time.

I actually joined a LS that was just going to work on San'd conquest, but alas the farthest they ever got was setting a /lsmes to "Events starting soon."

I'm not really sure what to say, I have also /sea all nation and always find there are more San'd than others. Maybe that's exactly the problem. Maybe it's less effected by how much exp and such you earn in a conquest zone, and more effected by deaths in a conquest zone. Top that off with having the most people aligned to our nation, as well as them mostly being Elvaan and... Well...

If you're talking Ryl Ft Tunic (unless you are talking Aketon) it is kind of ridiculous, it's a 20k 1,000 cp item. That's a hell of a lot of gil for a 1,000 cp item. It makes sense since its so rare now... but still.

Not all that long ago Sandy actually conquered Movalpolos, it is the first time I ever saw it under allied control, since then we have not been so hot.
I blame DB for killing all my EXP mobs in LoO, I thought it was an honest mistake, but now i realise it was part of a complex web of deceit.
