CoP Schedule

After talking with people I have decided on running Weekly CoP runs. One night Hero one night Villain. After a while we will switch which night is Hero and which is Villain so that people that can only make one of those nights can get their favorite character in on it.

Thursday Nights: This night we will run villains. We will meet in Port Oakes. The run will begin at 6PST/9EST if we encounter the Storm Aspect we will hold the teams and atempt again at 7PST/10EST. These will be the only runs of the night so if the Storm Aspect is encountered twice we will take it as not ment to be for that night.

Saturday Nights: This night we will run heroes. We will meet in Indie Port. The run will begin at 6PST/9EST if we encounter the Storm Aspect we will hold the teams and atempt again at 7PST/10EST. These will be the only runs of the night so if the Storm Aspect is encountered twice we will take it as not ment to be for that night.

A Guide for the CoP can be found here.

I would like to remind everyone that Heroside CoP are for Heroes and Vigilantes only and Villainside CoP are for Villains and Rogues

So tuesday , is like tonight...
(tuesday as in not thursday or Saturday like on this schedule ... just wondering if it was a typo)

Anyways...
Ill be glad to lead one tonight 9pm EST, red side.
I just spoke to a few vg mates and they voluntered to be team captains, and it was voted red side

@Hemm, voluntered to organize a shivan run around 8pm EST.

If ppl can gather nukes, shivans, HVAS in advance.
Tip: Venom grenade is nice AoE -res, -def, can be bough from SC pvp store when faction own the zone.
Tip: Enchantment of Serafina is nice!

Meet in sharkhead near the base portal.
Bring support/heal/buff/debuff AT's if can. If not bring the uber tank/brute with taunt.

Note: as a red sider we dont often point out to bring DPS units, as brutes and corrs do good damage, versus troll, fender, tanks. Still DPS units always good.

You are welcome to point out suggestion/ideas or just reply to notify your interest to show up tonight.


Thx

Where will be the meeting places for the CoP runs (red and blue)?

The Base teleporter in Sharkhead Isle is a good place for Red side. Pocket D also works well (assuming you don't amass leechers/griefers from simply being in a high traffic zone like Pocket D). Tonight's raid with xeaon will be meeting in Sharkhead.

Yeah I had made plans to do a run tonight last week which is why it was slightly off topic from the original post i just did not want people to expect me tonight.

That was a funny Trial tonight, something you dont expect to happend.

First, our schedule was overlapping with the red side hamid. so ppl joined 15-20min late instead of being there early.

Took us some time to form and balance team. Then once we were ready to go. Everyone rushed to base, and we all got kicked out of it.

We reformed, same exact team.

Then one of the team captain started the timer by mistake (or was it a mistake!? O.o) just to stress us a little. He started the timer, before i give any instruction. We also believe the timer got started with not everyone on the base, which prolly created the next bug.

The 3rd team got stuck in there own instance of the Trial <.<
They had to drop team, switch team leader and then we were ok. But that after few retries.

At that point we were ready to go. we lost about 30min w/out actualy do anything. And may i have to say we totaly lost our momentum.

With the momentum out of balance Phase 1 was way long, always had 1 team trailing behind. I need to try that AtT trick next time that occur.

We were seriously out of luck tonight ... until ... oh wait we did had more bad luck, hehey. One of th team captain DC'Ed right at the moment we finnaly killed all 3 obelisk.

The time he get back to lead his team, only 13min was left on timer...

Wind turned at that point tho, we had the big Red (not the purple) aspect. And we killed him in about 5 or 8min i believe.

I saw a lot of shivans HVAS, at first but most died in the 2 first min. And after double checking only 2x3 nukes were use (me and firething all 3 nukes) Hemm forgot to use his. Unless someone used a nuke w/out telling us, it was about all the temp power we used.

Seriously i had a blast on that last fight. ANd want to thanks everyone who joined. Specialy for staying that cool, on the first 45min of bad luck :P

So there is a Run tonight 9pm EST, right ?

Ill try to attend.

I'm assuming we got With Temp power (nukes/hvas/shivan) ?

I also look forward for you guys to show me that AtT trick for stage 1.

Yep Tonight will be Redside again, just how it worked out. I will see all of you tonight in Port Oakes.

I got invited to a MoBSF tonight and its the one badge i need so going to miss out tonight...Sorry to anyone who wanted to join tonight. We will be doing it next week again. Saturday should still be on for a Hero run...

...catched that ball....

Ill form/lead it, who ever want to join meet in PO!!!

.....
.....

.. .. ... and only took us 60min to form... where you guys were ?

then 20min to beat, had the big red. Went Smooth.

Our first regularly scheduled hero CoP is tonight hope to see many people showing up in IP around 6pst 9est

About 6 of us in IP with bells on....and shivans...and nukes

Little rocky but got Big Red and he died well. Good job everyone and thanks Defenders of Paragon for the use of your base.

It was a great time. Thanks, BT for leading the event.

Happy to help and supply base access!

I'd recommend adding an addendum before the teams are finalized about Vigs/Rogues not being able to get in, like tonight when I lost 25% of my team, haha.

Also, good tanking is essential. I was pleased to see all of our tanks were up to the task, but I worry about PUG Fire Armors, for instance. Make sure support rounds out the holes on the team. If there's a Fire Armor on point, give em bubbles and increased density! (For example)

Not that a good team makeup can't overcome any obstacle, but as we learned tonight with The Obelisk of Despair, sometimes even the best on paper falls short due to missing AoE. We should be a tad more diligent in making sure that we're up on the AoE damage.

Lastly, this trial has an absence of Rularuu Brutes, making the entirety of all the spawns completely weak to Lethal Damage. Archers, Assault Rifles, Broadswords, Katanas and Claws are looking favorable for quick results, methinks.
