PVP in Silithus

kayakyakr · 02/10/06, 1:45 PM

Goon squad is trying to determine what our official stance on PVP during the 10-hour war on sunday. We are leaning toward an "only in reaction" policy but we were curious, what's your stance?

There anyone that you feel doesn't deserve to have the rights to take part in AQ stuff?

Eh, that's more or less our posture. We're there to see and kill all the critters. I don't think we're going in with a KOS list or anything. Skirmishes will doubtless happen, and it'll be fun, but our desire is not for a massive 400 vs. 400 war, largely because the servers simply cannot handle one. If we see any group actively trying to grief the event, they'll be dealt with, but we're not looking to pick fights.

sweet.. looks, then, like it'll be one giant happy party.

'f anyone starts giving you guys troubles, let the goons know and we'll pass the info down the chain.. should be between 100 and 200 of us out there and elsewhere (looks like 2 20-man groups and a full raid's worth of signups, not to mention those that are gonna be there without actually signing up for any of the raid groups).

I'll bring the Tostitos and some home made guacamole!

The fun PvP comes in the days following the event.

i just dread sitting around looking/arguing for spots.

i get bad memories of crawlers nest in FFXI. Id get so pissed off id move my group over someones and pull ontop of them. fuckers.

Hey, can i get one of your priests to MC me so I can kill any/all members of Self-Titled that come around?

Gee, that would be swell.

How would you PvP at 0.02 fps, anyway? Judging by the Eranikus event, it's going to be like a turn-based RPG out there, come Sunday.

I want an "I survived the silithus crashes" event t-shirt after this one. ;)

What's up with all of the hostility on the realm forums? It's like the opposite of the stance you're all taking in this thread.

♦ Praetorian · 02/12/06, 11:21 AM

When you say "the stance you're all taking," to whom do you refer?

Sure, some EJ members think all Alliance on the server are worthless fucks who should be corpse-camped until they never log on again, but they're a minority and they aren't the ones dictating our actions.

As for all the dick-waving on the forums about who gets what hive, I'm ignoring it because it's all silly. Trust me, come back here tomorrow morning and tell me whether anyone had any clue what they were talking about when they talked about "claiming" a hive. The mechanics of the event don't work that way.

decimus · 02/12/06, 11:27 AM

Ah, ok, that explains it. I still lack faith in the idea that Mal'Ganis can prevent itself from fucking up such an important event.

I was a Beastmaster, if you took my spot I just released an Exoray on your group. :)

The idea that people are going to be able to "claim" a colossus is hysterical. You're not going to be able to claim your own shorts around one of those things.

newladin · 02/13/06, 1:02 AM

Did we even kill a colossus? I know the Ashi one was still up when the final event finished/crashed.
