In my opinion, 5uper is less balanced and stress the game around the builts and the toons instead of stressing players ability to play as a team.
So I prefer play in 8 but it is only my point of vue.
Moreover a 8 team allows more players to participate in a row and offer more built diversity with means more tactics and more opportunities to counter a tactic.

But as Demon Huntress said we may play one week in 5vs5 and the other in 8vs8. And if we got the chance, we can play in 16 vs 16.
By 5vs5, I mean 5uper team (1 troller, 1 defender, 1 scrapper, 1 blaster and 1 tanker). Even if this game mode is not my favorite, it is certainly the less unfair. If we play with 5vs5 and allow 2 same ATs in the team, the one with the 2 trollers wins. End of the story.

And about playing on sunday, why not again, it may be easier for some of you to be on test on sunday instead of monday.
We just have to settle that if everybody is ok. And choose one day and only one. We all have IG and irl duties, so I am afraid we can not be on test to pvp twice a week.
Unfortunatelly for this specific sunday we already have planned somthing so we can not be there.

So here is what I suggest :
This monday (6th of march) we stay as we were : 8vs8.
Next week, we decide if we prefer play on sunday or on monday, and we settle a 5vs5.
Afterward we will play in 8vs8, then in 5vs5 and so on.

It is always difficult to get everybody happy but we will try to do so.
But as usual I need the opinion of every team leader so I can choose what seems to be the best to please everybody.

My purpose through those international PVP event was to allow as many players as possible to fight against one another in teams and have as much fun as we can get. I choosed the 8 vs 8 mode because I though this was the best to allow that. Every player can settle in those team no matter what his AT is. And everybody is usefull within a team. No one will be set aside.
What I had in mind was to be as simple as possible : monday pvp 8vs8 in test !
But it may only be a start and we can try to imagine other options to enjoy this game !

Thanks and GG to all who were there tonight.

Unfortunatelly no team came from Defiant, this week.

I hope you have enjoyed it. The fights turned to be harder than last week.
I can not wait for next monday !

See you !

No, please hit us as hard as you can. The only way you can learn is by losing, and then watching the demo files back and looking at what you did wrong. We've cottened on to a few things that we noticed you doing and so we're trying to implement them. All you did by beating us was make us want to work harder.

It is awesome ! This is exactlly the fighting spirit we where looking for !
As I already told you I am proud to meet such opponent as you with such a spirit. No doubt there will be plenty other fight nights !

And last but not least and as a sum up : Xanthus, marry me !

/blush

Thanks you. What you say is quite pleasant to read when in the vigilance board there is a sniveling thread that says we are skillless and only win thanks to our builds.
Thanks you for your congratulations, we work pretty hard to get a efficient team play. I am honored to have faced such valuable opponents who were able to notice that.

Anyway, yesterday evening we fought against very good players but I would have made other team built. (As far as I have seen going in arena without tanker is suicide, by example).

Nevertheless I hope we can settle other matches.
We did not knew you and so yesterday we played with no restraint. Next time, if you wish so we will not hit that hard.
Our point is not to win by any means or to crush our opponents but to have fun enjoying this game.

Thanks to all who participated.
And I hope to see you in the test, next monday.

Next week there is a 16vs16 event scheduled against LNM-LU vs Art of war.

So 2 teams of 16 players will fight! If another team want to join us they are welcome ! Just let us know !

Thanks you all for your participation.
We had a lot of fun too, fight were tough and exciting !
I hope we can do this again soon !

Next monday we play 16 vs 16 matchs (LU and LNM vs Art of war).

See you soon.

Up !

Of course... but we have a fight to finsih...

They said 10 minutes ...

Will you come back Union allstar after the shut down ??

I prefer 20 minutes matches too but it is a try for a start. If this work we may play longer matches next time.

Great Union has a team !

By the way I did a little brainstorming to plan the event.

As I am not sure at all about who come and who do not. This how we will proceed.
Each team leader will helps me and is responsible for his team.

So when the team is ready (by 20 GMT I hope for every team let's dream ! ), the team leader announces it through the zone chat of PI.
By example : "[zone] Frost : We, LNM team (vigilance), are ready and looking for an opponent !" And so will do Gatling, Nightbringer (who were kind enough to register) , Taki (LU team), and Falcon (E² 1 team) (my damned lazy countrymen who did not register )and any other team leader who may be there.
So please do not flood in the zone chat cause we will use it to let everybody knows who is ready and who is not.Only team leader should use it .
you can flood whatever you want in local chat !

So thanks to the announcement, team leader will tell eachothers and settle the matches, decinding who create the arena and so on.

As we will be quite a lot, I guess we will play 10 minutes matches. Doing so everybody will have an opportunity to fight against a team from another server.

after the game, we will take a 5 minutes break to cool off, have a drink, a cigaret, kill the cat (who is responsible for your deaths), debreif the previous match, plan the next, whatever you want. But above all settle the next game !

Doing so I hope that we can play a 10 minutes games every 15 or 20 minutes let's say.
If everybody is on time and IF there's no arena bug (let's dream once again...), it must work and everybody should play whitout waiting for hour in the arena.
Anyway this system is flexible enough to allow the team leader to settle matches whatever happens.

I guess this is it.
If you got any question please ask it here, right know, during the event I may be quite busy... and even in french answering multiple tells is a big issue for me...

This is a great event, I have quite excited about it and I hope we will have a lots of fun.

See you very soon ! ^^

The copy tool is fixed.

So see you in a few hours. Sharpen yours blades, the time is coming !

As far as I know a lot french players can not copy their characters to the test server. So I asked a the french team team leaders and here is what we suggest : if this new bug is not fix by monday at 17 h we may be forced to cancel the event... and settle another date.

I can not express how desappointed I would be if this should be cancelled.
Let's hope that a tech may save our pvp event...

Teams should start to be ready for monday.
And so it would be very kind of you if you could register in order to give me the opportunity to schedule the fights.

If team leader can post here to register it would be nice. I need the team name, and the name IG of the team leader.

As an example, I register "Team LNM" (team leader : Frost).

Thank you.

As far as I know there will be 3 french team from Vigilance this next monday.

A team from the SG called "Les Légendes Urbaines" (LU).
A team from the SG called "El Ereb" (E²).
And our team from the SG called "La Ligue du Nouveau Monde" (LNM).

I hope we will have a lots of fun and a ton of opponents.

See you on monday !

would've loved to bring my ice tank but alas he isnt allowed seeing he's only 31

[/ QUOTE ]

Any lvl is allowed.
But the matches will be set in 47-50 lvl using the arena autoSK system.
50-lvled toons are expected but lower lvl toons can be set to fit a team.

Ok so after a litttle speech in the test, the challenge will take place on monday the 13th of february at 20 GMT (21h heure française).

The rules are the same.
I hope will be a lots and have a lot of fun by the way !!!
3 french teams should be there : LNM (Ligue du Nouveau Monde), LU (Légendes Urbaines) and E² (El Ereb).
A team from defiant too : Paragon Defenders .

"I can only promise you blood and tears" and a lots of fun too !!!
Evereybody's welcome as long as you come with a 8 player team (check the rule in the first message of this thread).

See you on monday !

P.S. : Pyra is just my Fire/nrj tanker. Nothing to worry about !

Ok I did not know you have an hammy raid this monday.

We will settle another day. I will check with the LU Sg and let you know asp.

Hello there !

A french player met an english one this afternoon in the test server.
As the fights were interessting, they decided to settle another rendez-vous.


So I am glad to invite you to rumble monday 6th of february at 20GMT (21h heure française ).

Rules are simple :
-8 vs 8 in PI arena (if there's no bug... :x ) in the test server for a 20 minutes rubble.
-we play in 47-50 lvl.
-No more than 2 same character classes in the team, to let every AT express itself !. (no team with 3 ou 4 trollers by example )

We ("La Ligue du Nouveau Monde" players) will be there.
Another french SG : "Les Légendes Urbaines" will Join us !

As far as I know Paragon Defenders players should be there too.

So we are at least 24 players who will have matches on monday !

If some other SG want to join us, there are welcome, but be prepared, be ready and be 8, it's gonna be tough !!!

See you in the arena monday !

(All my apologies for my rusted english ! )

Merci à Popytek et GG à tous les participants !
Et bravo aux membres de mon groupe qui ont parfaitement suivis les consignes !

Une excellente soirée à tout point de vue, de l'orga, du stress (une bonne petite pression bien sympa sur le chan team leader ), la mort du blob, la HO et une ENOOORME baston à warburg pour fêter ça ! Excellent !

Le monde du jeu de cette année nous (quelques LNM et moi) a donné l'occasion de rencontré Atreid irl, de discuter sur le fond du jeu, de loot quelques T-shirts, et d'immortaliser le tout par une photo, collector s'il en est !

Grande fut notre déception de voir qu'il était venu seul, presque incognito et que COH n'était représenté nul part...
Après que l'on ne s'étonne pas de la petitesse de la communauté francophone...

Donc oui, il faut faire des conventions pour permettre au joueurs de se rencontrer irl et surtout contribuer à faire connaitre COH/COV !!!

Le monde du jeu me semble être le salon le plus approprié. Beaucoup de monde, une vraie grande place réservée au jeu vidéo à coté des jdr, jcc, etc.
Les lnm et moi-même avons déja l'habitude de nous y rendre tous les ans pour retrouver nos petits camarades de DAOC, mais là nous aurions grand plaisir à assister/participer à un stand COH/COV.

Ou faire de plus grosses gouttes de pluie !
Genre de bons grelons de la taille d'un poing !

En PVM même sur des Meta + 3, ça touche et les debuffs passent.

Maintenant en PVP, j'ai vu certain joueur (rare heureusement) avec des AT defensifs rester sous la pluie sans être touché du tout pendant bien 5 sec... mais dès que les premiers tics passents l'effets s'amplifie et les debuffs s'appliquent.

Donc Pvm, pas besoin de précision.
Pvp, sans doute pas besoin non plus mais il faut s'attendre à voir certain AT "presque" passer entre les gouttes.

Les trials fonctionnent en quelques sortes comme des missions.
Donc le lvl des mobs plafonne à un certain moment.
Surtout l'hydre qui de tous les trials semble être un systeme ****** entre Trial et Mission.
Elle se lance comme une mission, pas comme un trial/tf (tous dans la zone, le lead parle au pnj, etc.) , on peut faire varier le groupe en faisant rentrer des renforts, etc.

Si tu fait la diseuse de bonne aventure (lvl 10-14), les mobs seront au plus lvl 16, si tu as pris la diseuse de bonne aventure au lvl 15 en invincible et que vous etes plus de 4 dans le groupe. Alors la diseuse, tu peux la faire à n'importe quel lvl, il est fixé par ton lvl au moment où tu prends la mission au contact.

Il en va de même pour l'Hydre. Mais une fois encore c'est un trial particulier.
