Title: June 16th PvP Event "V.I.P."
Post by: Tbone on June 04, 2012, 12:06:03 am
Official Forum Thread (http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=459221)
When: Organization begins at 8:00 PM FA Time (Central) Start Time: 10:00 PM End Time: 12:00 AM
Where: Organization/pre-deployment will take place on Coruscant, the fighting will be going down on Alderaan and Belsavis.
What:
The name of the game is 'V.I.P.', wherein each team will be given a single target to attack and defend. Referees from TOR-Talk (http://tor-talk.com/) will be present to name VIP's on each side, and will invite them to a separate ops group to determine whether they are still alive or not. Taking down the opposing team's VIP will be game for that point. The last faction with a living VIP on each planet, wins.
Who:
We will be fighting alongside Knights of Sokan, Alpha Company, Crimson Elite, Remnants of Hope, Retrospective, Aeturnas Trinitas, Seelund Trading Co., Thirteenth Company, and many others.
What can you do?
Show up! We want to show the Imperials what a Furious Pain Train looks like!
If you're reading this, I (Sared) should already have a calendar event posted. Go sign up! This lets me know how many people we're bringing, and what kind of group makeup we will have.
The Game Plan
Alderaan and Belsavis each have two pre-determined bases per faction. This is where the VIP's must remain until they are dead, or the opposing team's threat is neutralized.
Alderaan
Attacking: Outpost Eudor Panteer Hideout
Defending: Wardpost Duvall Panteer Refuge
At time of writing, we will be operating as a First-Strike force on Alderaan, alongside Remnants of Hope. Depending on our class composition, we are planning on sending a group of Shadows and Scoundrels in to their base at Eudor to take down the VIP quickly and efficiently, with a back-up force ready to charge in at a moments notice.
A Coy will be handling defense on Alderaan, with supplemental forces from other guilds. The plan is to take out Eudor ASAP, then QT back to Panteer to push the beach back towards the Imperial cave.
As needed, our support force on Eudor will QT to Duvall to support their defenses in the case of an early push there.
After Alderaan has been decided, we will fleet pass out and hit Belsavis before it hits instance population cap and assist in hitting the following targets.
Belsavis
Attacking: Imperial Command Post Domination Outpost
Contact Sared on the forums, in-game, or on TeamSpeak if you have any questions. Otherwise, we're hoping to put forth a strong showing on saturday! Don't forget to bring your uniform, and get in contact with a Master if you need help getting one together for the event!

I've been trying to get a hold of Alrek or Som for a week or so now, but can't seem to catch them online to talk about something like this. If you talk to them again, have them get a hold of me!

Well with the correct times, I should be able to make it, though Saturday night is typically a night out for me, so we'll see!

I work Saturday night and then usually socialize afterwards. I might be there but not sure yet. Most likely people will be around, they just haven't bothered to sign up.

I understand people are busy but approx 5% of the guild signed up? We have more people showing up for drinking night. I find it hard to believe we can't put 20 solid players together for this event.
Teck, by the way you know I'm attacking you at all :-)
It's not like the Jung Ma community has one of these every Saturday, this is only 2nd one that I know of and we can't muster our forces?
Let's hear from ALL the Masters and all the memebers on how they feel about this? Am I banging my head against the wall for nothing? Are my expectations unreal? SPEAK UP!
Title: Re: June 16th PvP Event

I signed up as tentative. It depends on how late my D&D game runs tomorrow.

A couple of points since you asked.
1. Timing is really bad for me. I'm going to try to get there but I won't put my name out there and then flake. That's not how I roll.
2. The last PvP event, while well conceived, was executed poorly. Lag made the game nearly unplayable for a while. It was .. well.. meh experience wise. The best part was FA assembling pre-battle.
3. I'm simply not excited about events like these because FA blends in and doesn't shine. Yep, I said it. I'm a glory hound, FA grand-stander. I want us to be the main focus of the show, not one of 15 other groups. I'm not sure this event promotes us enough.
In the end I'll probably be around and probably show up but as a member I don't see this as a great FA event, and as a leader in FA I don't see this as an event that will bring FA a lot of positive attention/glory/impact on the game.
This sorta sums up my feelings on it.

This sorta sums up my feelings on it.
1. Timing is really bad for me. I'm going to try to get there but I won't put my name out there and then flake. That's not how I roll. - Sign up as tentative and at the least, that shows the members that masters are trying to participate. Otherwise, why is there a tentative option?
2. The last PvP event, while well conceived, was executed poorly. Lag made the game nearly unplayable for a while. It was .. well.. meh experience wise. The best part was FA assembling pre-battle. - Agreed! Showing up is half of the battle though. We can just show a strong FA presence, that would be a start.
3. I'm simply not excited about events like these because FA blends in and doesn't shine. Yep, I said it. I'm a glory hound, FA grand-stander. I want us to be the main focus of the show, not one of 15 other groups. I'm not sure this event promotes us enough. - I agree with you as well but since we are not doing much to promote ourselves PVP wise and with all the new server transfers, we need to have a strong presence. Better then nothing at this point.
In the end I'll probably be around and probably show up but as a member I don't see this as a great FA event, and as a leader in FA I don't see this as an event that will bring FA a lot of positive attention/glory/impact on the game. - I tend to lean that way as well but then maybe we need to start our own mini events like raiding the Ilum base or random patrols but none of that matters if no one participates.
This sorta sums up my feelings on it. - I appreciate you taking the time to post your feelings

Server wide we had a good showing. Alpha Company was the most prominent guild by far but everyone seemed to have someone from their guild representing the Republic. FA worked hand in hand with Crimson Elite. FA was assigned to defend one of the VIP's underground on Belsavis while CE's held the above ground defense. Even though we were the only group to lose a VIP, it took the Imps about an 1 1/2 hours to get the VIP from us. The tried to sneak in one by one and after overrunning what was left of CE's defenses up above, they finally zerged our cave with a 3:1 ratio and took the VIP.
The match ended with Republic 4 kills (all VIP's) and Imps 1 kill. After they killed our one VIP, FA and the rest of the Republic PUG's zerged their base and killed the last VIP with one minute to spare. We actually killed him one minute before the event was scheduled to end.
