Victory PvP University presents: "PvP Boot Camp"

A lot of information on the PvP University thread has been posted thanks to a great PvP team on Champion.

-Evasion tactics on the various arena maps
-Screen shots explaining evasion techniques
-Another UI screen shot
-Jump Team (high damage) strategy
-Guide to playing psi/em

Also please note that MP and Ele both have up threads for team discussions, you should use those for questions/comments about team specific comments.

MP did a nice write up on the accolades and I will ask her to post that on the PvP University thread for future use.

I just wanted to say you guys are totally impressing me with your dedication and drive to do this event. The talks and discussions on the global channel have been great.

I'd like to make a proposal that each team be allowed to draft one more player so that they will have a roster of 10 + the ringer emp. Since the emp will always be there, seems that it would be nice for us to have 10 players to choose from for matches and will get more of the free agents involved. Of course it's up to you Masque, but if the reason for not doing this is funding, then I can kick in 500mill to help cover their costs. I was just thinking about my roster and having one more player would be awesome

MP

i can match that 500 mil if you need masque.

I am a 24mo. vet playing COH, pretty much self taught and have hardly entered the PVP zone (at least not without getting my a$$ handed to me) and would very much like to attend this.
I probably just understand the raw basics of the entire game, as I cannot even seem to get an avatar to stick to my thread... LOL. I think there is alot more to this game than just running missions and would like to try to experience it, but have not had any type of teacher.
I have open slots on Victory and would welcome the opportunity to learn.
Thanks,
Deuce.

MP/Gris- I would be for it, but lets call for a vote on both teams to make sure everyone is good with adding one more player to their roster.

Deuce- I will send you a PM about this even and see if you are still interested in joining us.

Unofficial Practices- Friday November 26th @ 8pm est. Saturday November 27th @8pm est.

As always- If you have specific powerset/role questions please contact me via game/pm/this thread and we will set up a time to talk/practice about what your concerns are.

On tap for today- Friday November 26th

I will be running:

Posi part 1 and part 2 @ 1pm est
Numina to follow

I think at this point we should go ahead and let teams vote on their 10the person and remove the ringer emp from thee active roster. We will use MP and Gris's donation for the prize to the winning team in the 1st official match.

Everyone on the winning team who shows up to the match will receive:
100,000,000 inf and a Kismet +acc recipe.

Everyone on thee losing team who shows up to the match will receive:
20,000,000 inf and a kismet +acc recipe.




Also of note- If anyone has characters on Virtue Smallz runs a fight night there on Fridays so if you want additional pvp time that could be another way to help you get a little more practice.

I'll be at tonights practice, but I'm also doing my first http://www.siradio.fm/ set tonight.

My set starts at 10PM CST, which right about when practice is supposed to end.

I thought we were on break for the holidays. Is there practice tonight?

Never mind, Masque just answered this in-game.

Answer is no, btw.

oops

First Official Match is this Sunday at 9pm est.


Free agents should try to attend this as each team will be picking up 1 more player for its active roster.

The two teams will face off in 3 rounds with the following stipulations.

• Everyone who shows up for each team must be played in at least one round (this includes free agents who were just picked up if they are in attendance).
• Team size will be 6v6 minimal with the option to raise this to 8v8 if both Captains agree.
• Travel Suppression and Heal Decay will be turned Off.
• Inspirations will be set to small only.
• The maps that will be used are as follows: Round 1- Atlas; Round 2- Skyway; Round 3- Graveyard.

Question, since we each get to draft one additional person, are we doing that before this Sunday or on Sunday? AKA, should we both ask our teams and then Ele and I fight it out if we want the same person? Or are we waiting for you to moderate it?

Thanks!

1v1 over who gets to pick first

Team Pew Pew Pew has picked up Yoshi!

Clarification Question:

True or False? Okay to unlock Alpha slots on Boot Camp characters.
True or False? Okay to slot Alpha boosts on Boot Camp characters.

Round 1: 9-1 Pimp Hand (5pts Pimp Hand)
Round 2: 9-2 Pimp Hand (5pts Pimp Hand)
Round 3: 13-1 Pimp Hand (5pts Pimp Hand)

Attendance points-

Pimp Hand- 7 pts
Pew Pew pew- 8 pts

Sry for missing yesterday.I got stuck on work stuff =/

GG's guys was fun.

It kind of sounds like Masque wants us to stick with the tier 1 boosts, at least that's how I read it.

If tier 2 boosts are okay, I'll likely go for the recharge/heal boost for my empath.

Lets talk about alpha slots when we meet again Sunday, I think we have 1 person who may not be 50 yet.


Also thanks psi, I hadn't thought about rads. I had considered end/range on my pvp blaster especially if I was going to zone or duel on it.

"the rads* = me :[

Luckily I had already come to the same conclusion, +range = hell yeah!

Homework- Week 4- Non Match Week

So this Sunday we will be practicing together but there will not be an official match, however I'd still like to keep people thinking about PvP so what I'd like to do is offer up some Homework for points.

I will give you guys 2 hypothetical lineups and I want you each to come up with counter lineups. Points will be given as follows:

0.5 pts for just submitting an answer
0.5 pts for correctly identifying what the opposing team 'may' be trying to run (ie.. their strategy)
1pt for offering up a viable counter line up and strategy.

In addition 5 bonus pts will be given to the best answer from the group as a whole.

This homework will be open to the ringer emps as well however, they are not eligible for the bonus points.

Rewards this week-

Everyone who submits an answer will receive 20 million influence.


Scenario 1:

You are entering an 8v8 match and your opponent selects atlas as their map choice. You are locked into running a standard jump team and when you join the arena event you see that the opposing team is made up of 6 peacebringers and 2 emps.

Scenario 2:

You have been challenged to a duel by an elec/thermal corr who wants to fight you FITEKLUB style no insp, no accolades, no running!!!
