Swiss Draw and Pentand Badges

I am looking to put together teams to get the badges for Swiss Draw and Septad matches, as they are the last two Arena badges I need.

I want to first and foremost state that I am looking for participants who understand that this is a fun and casual experience where the ultimate goal is everyone who wants the badges getting them. I don't want this to be a gankfest, nor do I want people who signed up to walk away empty handed. In short, this is a badge affair that incidentally has PVP elements.

For the Swiss Draw, we need at minimum 8 people to get started. So far the roster is:

1 - @ArwenDarkblade - Arwen Darkblade, level 50 Scrapper
2 - @PhantomEnigma - Phantom Enigma, level 50 Blaster
3 - @Mekkanos - Mekkanos, level 50 Mastermind
4 - @Abraxxus - Bandit, level 50 Blaster
5 - @SpyderNoir - Naphil, level 50 Peacebringer
6 - @Talia Rayvyn - Something Villainous
7 - @Allyriah - Allyriah, level 50 Blaster
8 - @PluckySidekick - Malevol-Ant, level 50 Stalker
9 - @Manoa - Argent Ember, level 50 Controller
10 - @Karoiseka - Karoiseka, level 50 Scrapper
11 - @Katfood - Feral Kat, level 50 Scrapper
12 - @MissInformed - Miss Informed, level 50 Defender
13 - @Killerhurtz - Killerhurtz, level 50 Blaster
14 - @BionicFlea - Bionic Flea, level 50 Tanker
15 - @Hellsminion - something
16 - @Electroanagesia - Electroanagesia, level 50 Defender
17 - @Tritonfree - Philly Girl, level 50 Defender
18 - @Cinder Spawn - Awakened Death, level 50 Mastermind

The Septad is a 7 on 7 match using one of each AT. Due to the high volume of responses, and the varied ATs people want to bring, I'm going to just list those that have signed up, and we can create teams at the time:

1 - Scrapper - Arwen Darkblade
2 - Blaster - Phantom Enigma
3 - Mastermind - Mekkanos
4 - Blaster - Abraxxus
5 - Peacebringer - Spyder Noir
6 - Villain AT - Talia Rayvyn
7 - Blaster - Allyriah
8 - Stalker - Plucky Sidekick
9 - Conroller - Manoa
10 - Scrapper - Karoiseka
11 - Scrapper - Katfood
12 - Defender - MissInformed
13 - Blaster - Killerhurtz
14 - Tanker - BionicFlea
15 - Unknown - Hellsminion
16 - Defender - Electroanagesia
17 - Defender - PhillyGirl
18 - Mastermind - CinderSpawn

The first match is scheduled for Thursday, September 24th at 7:30pm EST. Meet at the Pocket D Arena. I'm more than willing to run it on other days as well, depending on how it goes on Wednesday. Also, we have so many people who have responded that we should break up into two or more teams to make it go quicker, especially the Swiss Draw. We'll work out the details when we get there. Also, I created the channel Justice Arena Badges to help with arranging matches and schedule events. Please join the channel at least until you have the badges on whom you want them on.

I'm sure most people, myself included, are willing to switch characters and ATs as needed to help everyone out. Again, this is a fun and friendly event to help each other.

If you're interested, please sign up or contact me in game at @ArwenDarkblade. Thanks!

I've never done much in the way of PvP and a badge affair with PvP elements sounds like a fun way to give it a looksie. Do you have any idea on when you'd like to run the matches, or you just looking for sign-ups first and then seeing when is best for the group?

I'm in. Bandit lvl 50 blaster

Arwen, you're awesome! I've been meaning to put something like this together for a while, but I keep putting it off. Since you've taken the initiative, I'd be happy to join. I'll bring Naphil, my level 50 Peacebringer.

Mekkanos looks lonely so I'll bring something villainous

I just re-read what you said about the pentad and my heart sank. "The 5 non-epic ATs." But my badge character is a Peacebringer!

Upon conducting further research, however, I've found that the septad (which includes epic archetypes) also grants the badge. Would you consider running a septad instead? If not, I will still provide whatever I can to help others get that badge.

I'd definitely be interested in this if it happens at a time I can be online.

I'd like to bring my 50 blaster Allyriah and would be happy to switch as needed to help others get the badges.

The Malevol-Ant States:

I will also assist in this as I am lacking these badges as well.

Malevol-Ant Lvl 50 Stalker

Before I sign up.... when?

Can you edit the title of the original post to reflect the change to Septad?

You would have to get this going on a night I'm working... But if you guys are still at it around 10pm, if I could shoulder my way in, I would love to help out and get the badge(s))

I need those badges also. I will show up as an alt. I can bring whatever you need.

I don't know anything about the arena and don't care much about the badges, but if you need a defender just to fill the "one of every AT" qualification, I'm happy to show up with one of mine.

I would like to get these on my mains: lvl 50 blaster Killerhurtz & lvl 50 stalker Azkikr, I can also help out with alts, i have at least 1 of everything

7:30 EST is about the time I get off of work usually so if I can't get out early I'll be a little late for this.

I'd like to get the badges for Bionic Flea (inv/ss tanker) but am willing to bring whatever is needed for the septad.

P.S. Don't forget that you also have a chance to get the fancy, rare, and expensive PvPIOs. With this many people, I can pretty much guarantee a few will get a lucky drop!

Wow, this certainly sparked a lot of interest!

It's certainly going to be a lot of fun beating the crap out of each other! ;-)

Are the drop rates for those fancy pvpIOs messed up right now?

Has this already happened? I'd like to get in on some of this PvP badge action

I gather from all these posts that I have learnt something new - arena matches are cross server?
