Another good turn out! I believe there were 14-15 of us at the peak. Once again the reds took the location once for about 5 minutes and we quickly took it back. They gave up quickly and we spent the last 30 minutes or so just killing all the level 100 Agents that were spawning.

I think we're gonna try to do something different for the next challenge...I'm sure the reds are starting to get frustrated...hehe.

That was a really great turn out tonight....Great Job Everyone!!!

I don't think letting them choose the location is a good idea. I think giving them a riddle to locate us, and then trying to taking us out is better. It is a challenge...come find us and knock us off if you can, not come knock us off and if you can't give us suggestions on what we can do that will make it easier for you. Just my opion, but it is also valid that if they loose that what can they moan about then.

Lots of fun, even though probably 70% of the time was spent watching the reds stand at the top of the towers, wondering when they were going to jump down.  :)

Yeah, these guys have totally lamed out. Standing around most of the time, maybe making three attempts, then bitching about it BEING TOO HARD and leaving?? If the tables were turned, the last thing I'd want to say is "gosh, Dark Evolution is making it too hard for the entirety of Zion to wipe them out...this is stupid...I give up".

I never really imagined the challenge being too challenging. If anything, I thought the problem would be that the tables would turn and we'd be stuck kamikazing into a million reds over and over again while they laugh about our so called "challenge".

We have done well on both occasions. Although i do believe the location has suited us on both occasions. This may not be a great idea, But if we want to stop all this 'bitching' perhaps we should turn the tables. For instance make them hold down a place or building of there choice that we have to take from them. In other words give them the advantage. Im aware this may not work as it may depend on machines and mervs working together but its just a thought. However i feel that people may get bored of our current challenges due to their inability to challenge us.

Location isn't the issue.  Perhaps it was for the first challenge where indoor lag posed a problem, but this time we were completely out in the open as they requested.  I think our only advantage is that we can target any red we see regardless of org, but the Machs have to worry about not attacking the Mervs and vice versa, if they hope to really take us out.  Maybe next time we can specify FA vs. Vector Mervs, or FA vs. Vector Machines.  But even then, there's nothing we can do to stop the other orgs from showing up.

They had us slightly outnumbered with six healers to our three, and we still held our own for the majority of the time.  They're going to complain no matter what, unless we all load Awakened with no buffs and hand them the event on a silver platter.  

Their hackers will complain that the event wasn't geared towards hackers.
Their knifers will complain that the event wasn't geared towards knifers.
Their MA's will complain that the event wasn't geared towards MA's.
Their gunmen will complain that the event wasn't geared towards gunmen.

I feel like I'm complaining.  :\  If nothing else, these Vector Challenges are a testament to our amazing teamwork.  We all know our builds extremely well, and it's pretty-goddamn-fucking-cool to see all of us in action.  I get a real charge out of hearing Tbone and Broin giving orders over TS.  

Let the reds complain.  See how long it takes for them to organize a real takedown.  We shouldn't feel obligated to make it easier for them just so they stop bitching.  It's up to them to figure out what we're bringing to the table and how they can beat us.

FA VC FTMFW!

This may sound foolish, but what would you think of doing an event with Sim loadouts and a couple of healers?

It would be entertaining, and they might stand a chance at victory.  Regardless, they'll still bitch and moan.

Patcher Daemons? :p

Course, they'd just bring three sim loaders to run that proxy-killer ability ;)

Ahh, I forgot about that. :(  Either way, we need another Sim train in the near future.
