Ive been contacted by the liason officer of the Guardians guild who is wishing to set up a PVP joint operations night on Ilum basically it will be the same sort of thing as we are going to do today but on a grander scale hopefully we can get something regular going, I have said I'll contact him with some provisional dates and times on thursday with a veiw to set up the joint operation sometime the week begining 30th Jan if you could post your willingness and availablity here so that I can draw up a few proposed times it would be appreciated.
The reason for doing this is we have laid the foundations to being known as a organised group but we havent really had many dealings with our wider community and various events that have been going on over the last month.
My aim is attempt to give us a presence at as many of these events as possible and I'm asking you guys to assist the guild in building ties with other guilds.
Now I hear you all saying "but what can I do?" Well 1st of all if you see anyone asking for help with instances or operations outside of FA if you are able and have the time then please lend them a helping hand not only will it give you more chances to obtain gear for raiding but will also show that FA are willing to help.

I guess I'm going to be that guy.

The aim for tonight is to make a good presence in Ilum I'll be there running and ops group for at least 6 hours it will basically be a free form group come for an hour or 2 go have lunch come back hoping to et as many people as possible on throughout the night the valour is good and also you have your weekly PVP quests to do
-
This seems like a really early time to try and have a presence, no? I'd say our peak hour is at least two hours after this is scheduled to end. Most people in the States have a day job during those hours. Hopefully we can get another group going in the evening.

I would agree with you. Hopefully we can get another group going this evening, i think we could have a nice turnout.

Perhaps, but you forget you also have a few members running earlier than you Americans.
Also, look at it like this. We start slightly early, before the masses hit, and we have a good chance of getting a good footing in Ilum with which to work from when the Imps start back.
Furthermore, Ilum is always busy at the moment, and will probably only get busier as the bulk of those levelling hit 50.
-
Oh boy... Im really going to rush lvl 50 for this! Im gonna be in lvl 40 armor though
-
I hope we can start planning things like this on the weekends as well. It'd be easier to include members from all work schedules on a Saturday, I'd think.
Either way, go get those imps! :D
-
Great Job External on your first event!
-
I'll be there in Ilum. I'm always game for pvp. I go to college though full time so I'd prefer later on in the evening time wise but I'll still try to make what I can. Just post the dates on here so I can plan ahead.
-
Thank you to all the people who came along and special thanks to ana and strod for assisting with co-ordination. We achieved the desired effect now lets make this a regular thing.

I think the thanks goes to you. I was only there for about an hour but you Broin Mharz and Ana(Still hate you) did a great job getting everyone organized. The other members turned out and listened to directions. More important then the Valor i gained, I had a ton of fun.
-
After Ana turned the raid group over to me we carried on two more hours making sure every FA in group(Except Lan'obi who didn't say anything when we asked) got their daily and weekly PvP missions finished up. From all accounts we dominated Illum for nearly 9 hours holding the majority of points. Most members I spoke to during and after the raid gained 4 or more valor levels as well.
This was a huge success in my opinion and something we need to repeat on a weekly basis. Great job everyone.
-
Thanks Mharz, good to know you guys carried on for another 2 more hours after I went to bed. As I mentioned before this was a tremendous success and I am very thankful to all our members who showed up. It was nice to take the fight to the empire for a change instead of fighting stragglers and avoiding the big raid group.
-
I'd also like to say thanks to everyone who showed up... There was much discussion on how hard it is for these fights to be effective for melee classes, but eventually we did have a system worked out that was far more effective than past pug illum groups.
Earlier in the day I was in a pug where they would simply hold back and pick off one or two that came close, even though at that time we outnumbered imps 2:1. I tried to tell them we needed to just push as a group and take them (we were "held up" at our base) but they refused, insisting that this was the better way to grind. I told them that FA would be back later int he day and we would not hold back.
We didn't.
-
Thumbs up! I was there for the first two hours and then passed out. When I woke up, people were still going at it!
About melee classes, apparently doing your group buff counts as participating, and if you buff up the group, you'll get the credit/valor for any kill made most of the time. I haven't tested this yet, but a few tried it this morning and said it was working.

10 more levels! God damn can't wait!

Thanks for the info T... This is great to know!

I had a ton of fun helping to run this event. I was on for a little under 7 hours, and our group managed to organize all of the PUG's that were raiding along side us, whether they were in our group or not. It was a wonderful site seeing the Republic organized. We ran the battlefield for the entire time I was online, and very few people deviated from our group's direction. Even if people didn't listen sometimes, FA had enough people, healers, and clout to get people to move whenever we wanted them to without too much trouble. People were really appreciative of our efforts in helping the Republic gain the upper-hand for the day, and I'm sure the Empire was very surprised that we were able to route them for so long. The only thing I was disappointed with was the lack of PVP by Jenjidai. At about that 7 hour mark, we were so effective in routing the Empire that we could barely keep people on the point before we pushed them back too far.
This will become a once a week thing, there's no question about it. Good job, EVERYONE!

Ana: MOVE FORWARD PEOPLE!
Jerk: No one cares about your damn ops group, or your direction!
Fuse: I do.
Random1: Me too!
Random2: Yeah, we're keeping them at bay
Random3: I care
^^^^
I loved that part of the night.

"Sorry for the spam, everyone! I'm just trying to coordinate two different raid groups and not everyone is in mine. I know its kind of annoying when the Republic is actually winning on Ilum! "
-
Why did the Jerk have to be named Mithros? I kept hearing god this "myth" guy is a jerk lol.
-
Not that time. Hate that guy. ugh.
EDIT: actually, it may have been...
-

He's from MxO days. Had a bit of jerk in him back then too.
-
I believe he was in (La Sombra) near the end there. He was a bit of a prick and liked to crash events with his "better than you attitude".
-
Tuesday was my first time on Ilum,and got my motivation for pvp up and running. I'll participate in any/all pvp events on Ilum,or anywhere else people want to go to. Even if there is only a couple FA members,I'll stop what I'm doing and go pvp.
-
Yeah it was amazing. We ruled Illum...

I wonder if that guy is the same guy that Ana raked over the coals during that interview a few weeks back. Ana had said he was a "troll" during the last events in MxO.

I don't believe it is. I do know that the guy has been there for the last 3 days aggravating everyone in sight including non FA members. Even when he is correct about what we should be doing; its his better than you, you guys are retards approach that puts people off. Even last night he was talking crap about External in general but External didn't realize it because he already had him ignored lol.
On a side note, i should be 60 Valor tonight!!
