Supergroup Prestige Accolade

Prestige accolade.

Given that prestige is still tough as heck to earn in huge amounts, how about a ( tough to get ) pair of accolades that give you a bonus from then on to prestige earned.

I'm thinking of an arcane and a tech accolade, each respectively doubling prestige earned thereafter for those villain types.

Perhaps call them Arcane attenuation and Technical attenuation

For example, the arcane accolade could require

1 : Defeating all arcane AV's presently in the game.
2 : Defeat 10000 arcane villains
3 : Attain X badges from Arcane based missions ( eg spelunker for starters )
4 : Defeat X arcane based GM's

Or similar.

I can pad this out with specifics if I get enough prospective /signed's

What about Tech themed SGs?

Know you have a hard time reading but it does say it was an example of the arcane accolade. Not that there would be no tech accolade.

Anyways...
It sounds a bit harsh honestly. How would smaller SGs get them? Ok they are supposed to be superhard but not super impossible I hope.

I kind of do like the idea of SG Accolades.

Indeed. eg, harder than the atlas medallion, but not completely impossible.

Working on a principle of time-taken to be something akin to the field crafter badge perhaps?

IMHO, something like this should be something earned, not something that takes 20 minutes to get.

And no 500 Illusionist pets

Didn't see that bit, sorry to Fahie

Sounds good, I assume it would be earned by the supergroup overall and then everyone gets the accolade when they join?

The stats mentioned are easily possible for an active sg.. As I understand that it is kills by everyone in sg in sg mode.

I like this... It gives a new extra feature to being in a sg. With the accolade deserved working for all members.

My original thought was that this was a personal based accolade, needing to be earned on each character.

I *much* prefer the idea ( or pre-conception ) that it is earned by people in SG mode contributing to a SG-Wide accolade

I'll see if I can work out a definitive list of what would be required that strikes the right balance between difficulty and reward.

You could make it a mixture of both. The SG as a whole must have defeated all the arcane/tech AVs and defeated X number of arcane/tech baddies. This means you can set the number really high and have a diverse number of baddies.

But then for the double prestige to kick the individual member must have certain exploration badges, mission badges etc.

Just an idea what do you think?

I'm not so happy with Jack and Eochai, but they're the only two GM's that are Arcane-only :P

I believe the above is completely achievable with anything but the very smallest of SG's. It may take a while, but it's possible

I have a gut feeling that people are less likely in the SG to want to push for the AV's and GM's when they won't see the prestige doubling themselves. Plus, people might then get problematic with the "I'm generating double prestige, so everyone should give their rares to me" kind of thing.

Personally, I would think an all-or-nothing approach will be better for SG morale and usability. Since people cannot take their prestige with them when they move SG's and it can't be traded, then there shouldn't be any opportunity for abuse.

Now to think what these acolades would give for the members... Some advantage not much higher then the artifacts from the Cathedral of Pain would do nice...

Slight problem. Villains can only get Eochai and Jack in Irons during halloween events. How about heroes have those two but Villains have Deathsurge and Scrapyard?

Well .. I must admit I hardly ever play villains so I will take you word on those GM's

Apologies for not considering our evil brethren

Tut-tut. Who do you think you are, Golden Girl?

I think it would also be nice if any benefit bestowed by the accolade is only active when the toon is in SG mode. This would also act as an incentive for players to earn prestige for the SG.

Well .. since the initial plan was to have this act as a doubling of perstige earned, then yes, you would have to be in SG mode for any effect

But ... agreed, if there were any other additional side benefits then they should only work when in SG mode.

Lol !

Worryingly, Golden Girl and I seem to completely agree on the requirement for physics enabled clothing and hair too

Perhaps I have a long lost twin ?

Well villains can't get to most of your AVs either except Bat'Zul (which heroes can't get to!). And Kronos is the only GM on your list that villains can get, and then only from the LRSF - whereas heroes can only get Kronos triggered by missions. Cabal and Red Caps aren't normally available CoV-side either (except during some of the old holiday events).

You'll either need separate requirements for hero and villain SGs, or restrict yourself to AVs/GMs in co-op zones (which basically means U'kon Gr'ai, possibly Kronos, any AV on LGTF/ITF, etc) or possibly use AVs common to both sides (such as all six Council ones, Countess Crey, Baphomet or Nemesis) and mobs from factions that both sides can access with about equal difficulty.
