12v12 GM Event Amelinda Hai

[SamwiseRed]

In an effort to bring about some excitment to this server, I now turn to my enemy Amelinda. Thread after thread offers suggestions to the developers but little to no response really brings me down. So I was thinking of ways to improve the server that doesn't center around Rogean closing out Star Wars.

So Amelinda, if Holo and Nilly were to agree with a 12v12 GM sanctioned Arena battle, would you host it and seal the Arena door? Only participants allowed in, you, and possibly one more from each side to FRAPs the event. Unless you could somehow keep the observers from interfering. 12 is a good number, 2 full parties, and even with this low population it is not asking too much. If FF can pull 12 guys togethers then hell make it 12v12v12.

Would be good for server no matter who wins. Kinda of like the Nirgon vs Supreme loser deletes toon match. Shit had me hyped. Bad idea? Am I fat and mad? I dunno what you guys think?

Suggestions from other players:
Have Smedy record and edit the event. - Truth

[Truth]

have smedy spielberg film it plz

[SamwiseRed]

have smedy spielberg film it plz

Great idea actually.

I voted other because this is a waste of developers time and only includes the top players while disregarding any new players. I would prefer to have the staff working to resolve other issues with the server such as the resistance system, cheating of all sorts, I'd even prefer they just spent their time reading player concerns about the server on the forum for some perspective.

This is directed towards Amelinda, not developers, if you had a brain or read the thread you would have known this. She polices the server and does other CSR work. She does not deal with the resistance system. Also this event would not even be all that time consuming. Summon players to arena, close door, fight. If everyone is online ready to go. This thing would take less than half an hour from setup to good game.

I'd love a pvp event in howling stones. Think of the possibilities.

This.

I am all for ideas that promote the server health/population, but I voted other because the other 2 choices were silly.

I can't see this event doing anything in regards to server health.

And it is clear the guilds involved arent interested in fair pvp.

[SamwiseRed]

the only reason I stated these 2 guilds specifcally is because:

1) Clearly the good vs evil, indian vs cowboy, w/e you wanna call it rivalry is between these 2 guilds.

2) If FF could churn up 12 then I say add them too but lets be real, those 3 guilds make up more than half the server and probably 90+% of the level 50s. It's not that I don't think anyone else is important but it would take alot more effort to try and involve every players. You are talking multiple brackets not to mention I doubt anyone else could pull off 12 members on at one time :/

I think you should redirect that comment at yourself. Amelinda polices the cheaters which is a better use of her time than playing "favorite pvp champ troll master" with a couple of top guilds while everyone else that benefits from the limited amount of time she spends on the server is ignored. Which is what I indicated is my problem with an event like this. It is using a limited resource (Amelinda) which would detract from the server quality for people not involved.

U mad?

[SamwiseRed]

btw did you guys even read the thread? I am suggesting things that would take zero time from the developers. Amelinda can run this whole thing without hendering our developers.

okay so for half an hour cheats will run rampant on our server. what do you think happens the 18 hours shes not online? its not like anyones going to be raiding while their 12 "best" members are involved in a pvp battle. if GM events is a problem then you are in trouble because Amelinda already announced there are more comin in the future. GM events = EQ.

[mostbitter]

You're taking it too personal. It isn't me who is in trouble it is the server.


Think about it another way. If people are cheating 18 hours a day when Amelinda isn't online, and you want to distract her for an hour and a half, you effectively push that 18 hours to 19 and a half. For bragging rights? Seems worth it.

This is the type of event that should be sponsored by players. If you want to see it happen you have all the ability you need to make it happen with the cooperation of players involved. If those people aren't interested than it won't happen.

[mostbitter]

I'd also like to add that it is these types of events that started to make obvious the divide in players on the VZ/TZ server and inspired cries of favoritism and distrust in the staff. Not that it was misplaced as it became obvious that it was a reality. However people started down that road to discovery after events like this and might have been blissfully ignorant longer had they not occurred.

[SamwiseRed]

less than a 100 people on server. at least 26 of them would be in arena if you count 2 FRAPers. what kind of cheating do you think the other 74 people are doing for HALF an hour (30 minutes)? also I cannot seal the Arena door. Having this GM Sanctioned keeps the playing field as fair as possible.

do you even play here? I dont anymore yet I know there is a HUGE divide in players hence the whole idea of this event. /facepalm
people wanna see a fight. why would you not want to see this?

[SamwiseRed]

So far only one member of FF is for this event :/ Wtf lol. I totally expected both Holo and Nilly to throw down. Well I guess each side does have alot to lose in this but I would think the risk is worth the reward.

summon people to Dreadlands inside the KC area where it's all flat and has walls to keep people from being able to zone.

[nerfed]

They already declined 6v6 why would they want to 12v12?

cant zone if amelinda shuts arena door :)

crap idea from a even crappier player "samwise"

[SamwiseRed]

pvp is pvp. you telling me those old school best of the best tourneys werent badass?

[SamwiseRed]

crap idea from a even crappier player "samwise"

sorry I have no idea who you are. did you play on this server?

just need one brave holo or nilly soul to vote yes then I think others will follow.

[Autotune]

people could still precamp there tho.


I also think 12v12 is silly-ish.

Should just be Guild Vs Guild where the lowest attendance determines the max players allowed.

or Server Vs Guild event.

or whatever.

Arena fights seem lame to me in EQ.

I'd rather see a random warzone chosen by the GMs and then have everyone summoned that wants to participate for whatever side. You guys could easily choose teams among your own server and then just wage war and have a simple GM summoning on days to random places.

[SamwiseRed]

ah i just said 12v12 cuz it was a nice even number and that way guilds could plan for this. If we wait for lowest attendance it would cause delay. Just have a set in stone number from the beginning that is realistic.

I chose Arena to eliminate the possibility for outside interfernce from random troll. Pick any zone i dont care, its just the Arena is fitting for this event. you know, 2 guilds enter, 1 guild leaves type of deal. plus the video would look better in arena.

[Seaweedpimp]

btw did you guys even read the thread?

i stopped reading your posts when i realized you stopped playing

sounds like planned pvp

[Arillious]

Knowing who, where, and when you will be fighting is kinda lame. Part of the allure of eq pvp is that a player needs to be able to anticipate a lot of different scenario's and adapt on the fly.

Not totally shitting your idea up, it'll probably be the most pvp the server has seen in weeks. Most of the remaining players gate as soon as a pvp encounter is likely.

This is all a pretty big pipe dream. Nothing really ever gets done. GM's are too busy playing other games or spending time doing things that are not really that important like policing peoples names.

ye i see where you are coming from. its true that time and place would be known but who exactly is going to represent these 2 (3?) guilds wouldnt be totally known. with time to plan for this event, i expect some good plays to come out of this. I think Amelinda would be down for this if we get enough people to agree. Again it will take little of her time other than summons and sealing and saying FIGHT!

[steakshop]

seal the door so no one can watch ( how does this help anything )

IF Holo can get 12 people they wont be the best classes , and will all have shit gear

zergilium can pick the best 12 classes and full fear gear

will result in a shit talk 30 page thread

why bother

why care about the server if the staff dont even care? gtfo

come play eve bros

... so hard to read isnt it. first the reason i said no spectators is cuz unlike live, people have no fear of interfering in an event so this keeps honest people honest. secondly I said there should be 1-2 people FRAPing the whole thing and being edited. Ultimately we would get an edited video that is both entertaining and possibly a good advertisement tool. also I am sure some players will be recording and taking SS as well. should provide hours of forum entertainment and good laughs. maybe we could even all be friends

[Autotune]

i was just saying what i'd like to see.

watching 24 people in the arena run circles around themselves sounds retarded.

I'd rather watch 24 people in Gorge of King Xorbb run around those narrow caverns trying to kill each other in a huge death match or team death match.

maybe 6v6v6v6

yeah, I'd rather watch that than an EQ arena fight all WoW-ish.

[SamwiseRed]

the problem with that idea is people would be able to zone. mobs would be trained to high hell, and no way would you be able to watch it because pvp would be everywhere. think of this more like a best of the best tourny team death match. world pvp is great but in EQ people can just zone.

also i dont think an arena team battle can be considered wowish seeing as how the arena and eq were around way before that.

[SamwiseRed]

also I am looking at this from the eyes of a spectator. I wanna see some mass pvp between two rivals sealed inside an arena.

[FoxxHound]

who watches eq fraps videos on youtube with shit quality?

if i couldnt watch the fight i wont watch it at all

but seriousley i will log in right now for the surpreme / nirgon deathmatch right now

[Xantille]

i'm in

you have my sword

[gnomishfirework]

it would be fun, but it doesnt prove anything. real pvp is ganking bitches.

[jeffd]

if Holo and Nilly were to agree with a 12v12 GM sanctioned Arena battle, would you host it and seal the Arena door?

why leave out FF/Brotherhood? just having two out of four guilds throw some dudes in the arena doesn't sound like a very interesting event.

If you had read thread, I mentioned if FF could throw down a 12 man team then add them. Bro hood could put together a 12 man but most would be sub 40.

[Gongshow]

I'd be down for this after the resist fix.

[Titanuk]

i will play one of the meat shield accounts to insure victory


cuz titty will never see 50 without global ooc

GM's that do this stuff usually dont develop. Amelinda would be great. Should do this to promote PVP on a PVP SERVER> Thanks.
