P.E.R.C. Presents The Rikti Global Offensive!
Saturday, February 27th, 2010
Rikti War Zone Starting @ 12:01PM EST

Vanguard has given the Green Light for a Global Offensive push for twelve (12) hours against the raiding Rikti. P.E.R.C. wants to see how many of the Rikti scum can you send back to their home-world. How does your team compare to the best of the best across all the servers?

On Saturday, February 27th, 2010 starting at 12:01PM (noon) to 12:01AM (midnight) Eastern Standard Time, we want you to run the Lady Grey Task Force (LGTF) with a few stipulations and enter proof of your accomplishments via in-game screenshots. You will be competing amongst the best of the best, across all servers, for a chance to win an in game Gold Title for your entire team in one of several categories. Length of title to be determined by NCsoft and Paragon Studios.


No Enhancements: Complete the LGTF with NO ENHANCEMENTS selected. The team with this selected and the least amount of deaths will earn the title: Resourceful. *Note: In the event of a tie the winner will be determined by the fastest time.


Player De-buffed: Complete the LGTF with PLAYERS UNDER CONSTANT DEBUFF selected. The team with this selected and the least amount of deaths will earn the title: Supersonic. *Note: In the event of a tie the winner will be determined by the fastest time.


NPC’s Buffed: Complete the LGTF with NPC’s BUFFED selected. The team with this selected and the least amount of deaths will earn the title: Unyielding. In the event of a tie the winner will be determined by the fastest time.


Extreme: Complete the LGTF with all of the following selected; NO ENHANCEMENTS, PLAYERS UNDER CONSTANT DEBUFF, and NPC’s BUFFED. The team with this selected and the least amount of deaths will earn the title: THE MOST EXTREME!. *Note: In the event of a tie the winner will be determined by the fastest time.


Mystery Category: all entries will be entered into this category. The team to win this elusive category will earn the title: Mysterious.


1.All screenshots must be submitted no earlier than 12:30pm February, 27th and no later than 12:31AM February, 28th to perc.coh@gmail.com .
2.All screenshots must have the UI (user interface) turned on. Look under Menu>Options>General to check your settings. (It is recommended you take a test shot and make sure you can see the UI)
3.All screenshots must be of the whole screen with the team window and task force completed windows visible.
4.Any alteration to the Screen shot will automatically disqualify it; this includes changing the name of the file on your hard-drive. The game automatically time stamps your screenshots and that is what we will use to determine if your team completed the challenge you enter during our 12(twelve) hour window.
5.Included in the email you must list the Character name, global handle of every member of your team, Team name, and the category you are entering.
6.All teams must select a 2:00 (two) hour time limit and 0 (zero) deaths allowed. This to ensure that every team’s time and death count is properly counted by the game.


Q. Can I enter more than once?
A. Players may only enter each category once; however, they may enter another category with another character. For example, Player X enters category 1 with the character Captain Speedy, Player X may enter another category with another character, i.e. Major Minor.
Q. Can anybody win?
A. Players names must show on the screenshot within the team window. This means all team members must be level 45 and able to complete the TF. As long as you appear in the screenshot and complete the TF you are eligible.
Q. How many people can win?
A. Up to 8 people (given the number of people of the winning team) can win. As this is a cross-server event only ONE team across all servers will win. This means winning teams will NOT be selected PER server; only ONE winning team PER category will win.


For each category a winning team will be selected. Each member of the team will win the Gold Title associated to the specific category.

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING P.E.R.C. & FIGHTING THE FIGHT!

This was considered when coming up with details. Temp powers I.E. Shivs and nukes sure they will help versus Hami and the AV's but seriously the TF is not that hard.

And sure they still have there neme staffs, and buff pets. We didn't want to make it so people would feel gimped.

as for the the off team door buffs.

They only last between 90 seconds and 4 minutes. and there's nothing saying they can't use on team buffs.

as for reffing we specifically did not want to have to hold people's hands. However, I appreciate your offer.

This is going on on all servers for 12 hours, there simply no way we can put a P.E.R.C. rep on every team that enters across 11 servers. Plus there is no pre-registration. Essentially, We want to see how many player spawned Rikti invasions we can get over the course of the day.

This is an event being run across ALL servers at one time. There is no way that a rep could participate on every team.

As to your concerns, temp powers are allowed and EVERYONE can use them. Say one team doesn't have anyone with the vet recall power... well they can do the safeguard or mayhem to get the power prior to the event. Everyone can find a way to have access to base buffs and pvp temp powers.

Basically what I am saying is that if a team wants to have an advantage, they will be able to find it. The team who wants to prepare most will have an advantage, but that is in any competition of any sort. A tennis player who never practices is only relying on natural ability while a player who practices daily and works hard will be more likely to improve and do better.

I mentioned in the global channels that there would be some prizes for this event that are specific to the Victory Server.

There are two ways to win prizes:
Any team on Victory that wins one of the first four cross server categories will be given 25 Million inf per team member!

Everyone who competes on Victory will be numbered and entered into a raffle. I will then use a random number generator to raffle prizes off! One person may win more than one prize.


Prizes:
1. 200 Million Influence
2. 200 Million Infamy
3. 50 Million Influence
4. 50 Million Infamy
5. Blaster/Defender Package: Full sets of Positron's Blast and Decimation
6. Tanker Package: Full sets of Crushing Impact, Aegis, and Mocking Beratement
7. Scrapper Package: Full sets of Touch of Death and Reactive Armor
8. Numina Regen/Recovery (level 50)
9. Regen Tissue +regen
10. Kismet +tohit, Steadfast -kb, Karma -kb, (added!) steadfast 3% defense

I will update the post with specific sets when I have a chance.

Edit: Scooter has offered to match enhancements prizes on Redside so winners will be able to choose which side they get their enhancement prizes on! Prizes specified are for blueside only, the redside choice may or may not be exactly the same. Added in a 3% defense as well.

So any volunteers to drag lil ole me through this? Would have to be later at night though.

Also, depending on times, would gladly run it a couple of times on a different character for the other categories.


I've already forgotten about most of you

I'd be up for a run or two Saturday night. Usually on at 7 PM Central, but I could do a little later. I have an assortment of Tanks, Scrappers, and Blasters to contribute, but also my Earth/Storm Controller.

The regen tissue I am pretty sure is at 30 as is the kismet. I can give out lower level -kb IOs though if the winner would like that. Speaking only for blueside here.

I really need to pay attention when I read, I didn't realize the event was all day Saturday. I'll pop in Saturday evening and see what type of action is going on and if there is any need for any of my toons that are still on Victory.


Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

Any reason why there isn't a Controller package? I don't have one in range, I'm merely curious.

Guess #Õ : She hates trollers
Guess #š : The hold/mez IOs are meh at best. Usually pretty cheap for the lot of em. Not a whole lot of interesting bits for the secondaries either.
Guess #² : Trollers don't need IO sets. They rool and you drool! *shakes fist*

Basilisk's Gaze and Lockdown are pretty good, and can get spendy. Another one is pretty useful if you're going for Smash/Lethal defense, so a fair amount of people go for them, too... though that isn't as expensive.

Though just about any of those sets listed will be useful or helpful for most ATs.

I only left room for three different sets and did not want to redo my whole post. Since I was giving more than one set at a time, I thought I would be cute and name them as packages . Also, I didn't have a set of lockdown or bas gaze to put up. And do be fair, controllers could use the decimations/posi blast too, as could warshades or pbs. It wasn't meant as like a restrictive thing, just a title, cause frankly any char could use any set depending on how you build it.

Oh and I love controllers, I have one of very primary and every secondary (though not quite at 50 yet).
