~BLUESIDE Signature Villain Badge Hunting in RV - TODAY, Saturday, September 12 6pm EST~
Sign me up; I'll be bringing Dr. Hollywood (Emp/Psi Defender). Note that I'll be next to useless in PvP; my toons aren't built for it. Hopefully the villains leave us alone.... >.>
You're in, Paragon. Hopefully we can get some more within the next 1:45 since it may be tricky recruiting within the zone.
It didn't go too bad for a while. That stalker made me laugh.
Badging in a PvP zone?
If you are treasure hunting on a battlefield wearing an enemy uniform, there is a high probability that you will be attacked.
This is an enjoy-the-ride game. "50" is only a number, not the goal of the game. - Noxilicious
I stuck around for a few afterwards, got a couple of PvP kills, and then the zone pretty much died. The heroes got the villains pushed back to the villain base and they stayed there.

"when a stalker goes blue side, assassination strike should be renamed "bunny hugs", and a rainbow should fly out" -Harbinger-
Well, we did good until our presence became known. I'll try this again in a few days - maybe next weekend or maybe even tomorrow - so we can pick up the rest of the badges.
Ideally we'd have 2 full teams. Once the villain players were onto us the 1st 4 of each team (or less) would be used to keep the riff raff occupied while the rest of us concentrate on pillboxes/AVs. I /think/ we'd all get the badges.
If we're thinking of the same stalker, Oya, he was ticking me off. He jumped us when we were weak from dealing with pillboxes &/or AVs, cried like a baby when we retaliated in force & used heavies (all of which was in clear view when he stated it) then rounded up all of his stalky friends to drive us out of the zone. He kept criticizing our PvP skills even as we were telling him that we were only there for AVs. Grrr...
Notes for next time:
1) always scan the 3 Heavy spawning areas between pillboxes & on the way back from the hospital. (which I think we did pretty well)
2) someone needs to jump in the pillboxes that we control to use against AVs. (we were kind of lax in this department)
3) call out the name of any attacking player villains so we can take them down fast. (I need improvement in this department)
Black Scorpion, Scirocco & Lord Recluse better look out - we'll be back for them next time!

What got me laughing was when I holed up in the pillbox nearest the villain base entrance and whooped him with the pillbox and my heavy. I think that set him off the most. I really need to see if I can get some PvP juice out of that old powerset combo. RIP Issue 12 PvP! PvP is dead, long live PvP!
So I was messing around in RV with a heavy during the dead time and was taking over pillboxes. I spawned Lord Recluse and Black Scorpion when as a group all we could get was Ghost Widow, Cap'n Mako and maybe Scirocco. Too bad the zone only had one other person (a Corruptor who was also pillboxing) or there would have been two other badges for the taking.

I've spawned Recluse & Black Scorpion a few times while dropping pillboxes solo previous to our excusion. I managed to take down Scorpion down but I still need Recluse & Scirocco. Maybe we can give this another shot on the 26th (will be out of town this weekend).

Reply here or send a global to @Ozymandas with your toon name, AT & level. I haven't seen any groups of this type around which is surprising, considering the number of badges to be had. Here's hoping it's a success!
