PvP events with Loups Solitaires

[Chaman-bourru]

Greetings, Loups Solitaires, is looking for cool and mature players/guilds willing to participate in a combative Weekly PvP event. Players able to refrain from flaming, raging and complaining to fight in open-world just for the fun of it and stick along when it's tough while respecting the folks they fight against.

A couple of months ago we organized an event in Cimmerian End using the flags to set up a king of hill kind of fight. The open-world events we have in mind will follow the same pattern : use ingame mechanics to guide the PvP encounters with a minimum of rules (new ideas are welcomed). In order to circumvent groupe balance issues these events are thought for 3 to 5 groupes of 6 (of course this number could rise if more players are intrested). Indeed, if a groupe is dominating the fight the others can agree to focus them first and then fight each others. That way, we believe events will still be challenging for the dominating groupe and enjoyable for the dominated groupes.

This offer is of course open to casual PvPers and basicly anyone willing to get out of mini-games and get something more fun rolling. Depending on the crowd participating some gear or PvP levels restriction might occur if we have a lot of newcommers, undergeared players, pvp begginers.
So if any guilds (or groupe of guilds) have a groupe willing to comit to a weekly open-world PvP fight let us know !
You can contact Loups Solitaires ingame (Ersakkis, Zuny, Carcarodon, Umagumma, …) or PM me on forums for more information or to participate.

We will be organizing the event but since the idea is to have groupe based PvP and not PuG PvP we need groupes and not individual players. Each "faction" signing up for this needs to be able to have a groupe ready for the event. If you are member of a small guild unable to gather a team alone we can only directe you towards groupes that might need filling up.

Every guild is most welcome to participate however if we have to chose we will favour, for obvious reasons, the guild with whom we have the less issues*.

*:We aren't rancorous people so it mostly concerns players constantly trash talking, insulting and complaining.

More Details:
What we are looking for PvP wise is :

• Groupe PvP
• In Open-World
• Far as possible from rezpad PvP
• With and against relaxed people

A few examples of what the events might look like :

• Sieging Brandoc's village in Cimmerian End: 3 to 5 groupes fight to capture the village altar. The groupe who will have hold it the longest wins the game.
• Corpse plundering : 3 to 5 groupes fight and hunt each other on a given map with 500 basic PvP mats each in their inventories. The groupe ending with the most mats wins.
• Protect and escort missions: One idol of Bori which 3 to 5 groupes fight for. The groupe who owns it needs to carry it to 4 places in a given order while the other groupes try to loot it and achieve the same thing.
  
• Slave Seeking : 3 to 5 groupes fight somewhere. One of them is chosen and need's too kill the other groupes. Each time a guy gets killed, the killed guy joins the chosen groupe. The other groupes don't groupe together of course so they will have to be carefull with friendly fire.
• Last Man Standing : 3 to 5 groupes fight somewhere. Last guy alive wins.
• ...

Note : Not all of these ideas have been tried out, they are just ideas of what could be done to varie a bit the fighting from one week to an other with diffrent maps used and diffrent rulesets. Rawer events will also take place. Other ideas are welcomed.

A few examples of what the restrictions could occur :

• No more than 1 or 2 tanks per groupe.
• No more than 37 PvP levels per groupe.
• No rez pots but class self rez and combat rez from conqs authorized.
• No mounts authorized in certain conditions during events (the owner of the Idol of Bori can't mount up for example).
• ...

Note : We try to have as few rules and restriction as possible so it is easy for players to get it and join (thus easier to organise aswell). The rulesets are mainly to drive the fights away from rezpads in order to have more interesting PvP, but they are also here to be able to define winners who will get the prize (Last event the prize was 1.200 funcom points for each members of the winning groupe).

Time and day haven't been fixed yet. However we have already decided not to set it during week ends.

Keep in mind that these are open-world events, therefore, even though we will try to avoid unexpected visitors it can occur. It's part of the game, you need to be able to deal with it.

Regards.

Looks like fun!
I hope you will get lots of people coming to the events.

Might be fun! though just one point pvp lvl resistriction idea for example is just plain stupid as you can just use low pvp t4 toons for dps and their gear will be superior to someone who would have just boriset with crappy pvp weapon. Pvp lvls are pretty bad indicator also for AA-power as the most important stuff for many classes is @pve side anyways.. protection & crits perks for everyone..

I've participated in one Brandoc's siege , was super fun , relaxed for the ones who wanted to relax and spam buttons , intense for the ones who wanted competition .

Everybody walked away with a great experience and new additions is his friendlist .

Looking forward to join more organised events!

Like i said in the begging, i might have not been clear enough, gear or pvp level restrictions will be set according to the crowd we gather.

During the Event we made two months ago we had three groupes from mostly three diffrent guilds. One with mostly PvP vets wth at least one pvp 10 ton. One groupe with mostly PvP beginners. One groupe with a bit of both. And none with T4 equipement. In this environnemnt a 37 PvP level per groupe made sence and was, i find, a good compromise between accessibility and balance. It would of course have not been if th guild with PvP 10 had all their alts geared in T4. Thus something else would have been agreed upon.

That said we are not looking for a perfect gear equality. It would be too tedious to set in place and too restrictive. We just try to smooth the rough edges. The major balancing job is done by the multiple groupes fighting each others at the same time. If one groupe dominates be it by outgearing, out-AAing or outskilling the other groupes they'll still have to play it tight to deal with 2 to 4 groupes focusing them first.
