Omega's Cathedral of Pain Schedule/Scorecard


Armeros

 

Posted

Update - 1/16/2011: I'm making a slight change to the signup process for the CoP's. I'm no longer going to be creating individual forum posts for signups. Instead, I'd like for all signups to be done through in-game emails or tells to @Omega Shockwave. I figure everyone who will do the CoP will actually be on the game at some point and this will help get all of the signups kept in one place (makes it easier on me, ).

Update - (sometime mid-May 2011): Omega has retired from the CoP's.

This thread should still NOT be used as a signup for CoP's.
Comments/feedback/war stories on the latest CoP's ARE welcome on this thread.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue 20 is now upon us and like many of you, I've got lots and lots of threads to collect.... so I'll be pulling back on the frequency of CoP's to once every 4 weeks. I've also decided to run 2 rikti raids every week and have moved everything up an hour.

I'm still doing everything I can to to shorten the time it takes to get these set up and going. Here's the best way.

  1. Show up on time when we gather to form teams.
  2. If you commit to a run, show up. I do take notes on that stuff.
  3. Let me know signup info ahead of time. In game emails to @Omega Shockwave work best.
  4. If you want to run the CoP, don't just plan on a spot being available. Let me know you'd like to run. If you aren't 100% that you'll be around, still let me know (but also that you might not be there).
  5. Don't make us wait for you to finish TF's/arcs/etc if at all possible.
  6. If not enough show up within a certain time I reserver the right to call off that week's CoP.
If you want to have a spot reserved for you for one of these runs...
  • Sign-up options
    • send an in-game email to @Omega Shockwave
    • send an tell to @Omega Shockwave
  • What I need to know when you sign up
    • Global Name
    • Local/Character Name
    • Archetype
    • Level
    • Primary powerset
    • Secondary powerset
    • What date you are signing up for
  • Read the CoP Guide
  • Craft the Envenomed Dagger (& have it in your powertray)
  • Grab inspirations (details in the guide)
  • Join the "Guardian CoP Trial" - we use this to distribute instructions during the trial. Might be using League chat though... I'm leaning toward it, but haven't made a final decision yet.
  • Highly recommended: Grab the Shivan Shard (Bloody Bay temp power) and HVAS (costs 250 Vanguard merits in RWZ). These are VERY helpful during the trial.
Here's the the planned schedule for my future CoP Trials.

None. I'm retired from the CoP. I'll help consult on it if anyone needs help with it though.

*The schedule is subject to change. I may need other people to take the reigns from time to time (most likely with the Rikti Raids)

When I saw 'scorecard' I expected a list of CoPs run and the outcomes.

Although it wouldn't surprise me if you'd lost count of those.

Don't think I'll ever tire of kill the Stormy though.

I still need this badge, and the attendent rewards, on my bluedise badge toon.

An added note to the moderator - If it is a matter of having too many sticky-ed posts already, I would kindly request that we swap out this post for the one containing the CoP Guide. Most people I've talked to prefer this scorecard. And the guide is referenced and linked within this post.

There are certain posts that are sticky-ed that really don't need to be there. Nothing personal to the "biggest loser" weight loss post, but in terms of the game, that might not be a forum post that requires a sticky. Just a suggestion.

EDIT - also, the PERC sticky which no one has updated in 6 months now (which is kinda sad).

I won't be around this Sunday (have a Super Bowl party to go to). Azure Lightstar is interested in leading the raids in my place. I'll delegate the 2/6/11 raids to him.

We managed to run one raid tonight. I'd like to thank everyone that participated, and I hope everyone had a lot of fun. See you all next week.

I forgot to thank the two players who graciously helped lead the other two teams in the Mothership Raid even though they were not members of my supergroup. Wei and Thornberry were great! Please give them kudos when you see them, and trust that they would be a good choice for assisting you in your event endevours.

They made running without the crutch of a voice server bearable for me.

Don't forget that the Triple Header is this Sunday.

I'm personally interested in seeing how Level Shifting is going to affect the runs. As always, I looking forward to seeing new and old faces there. Come for all three parts or just some of it.

Everything kicks off in Pocket D with the Red Side CoP Run at 1700 EST (5 pm).

=D

My comments on today's CoP:
It was awesome having enough people sign up in advance to get all the spots claimed early. It really helped me out (I was able to start team placements an hour before the first CoP was run, ) by not having to assign teams 5 min before we intended to start. We'll see if the interest continues (specifically redside) or if it was more of a one time good showing. A LOT of new faces getting in on the action for the first time or having their first successful CoP. Good, good. Also were a fair amount that couldn't get in because we filled up. Signing up ahead of time is your best chance of getting in on one.

Also, this was the first time we've had level shift factor in on a CoP run. 14 out of 24 on the Blue CoP had it and 15 out of the 24 on the Red CoP had it. Pretty good, but personally I didn't notice its impact at all. Not what I expected, but we still did just fine.

I really don't expect much of a boost from level shift on this trial.

It was nice to see Stormy nearly defeated after just the first barrier drop though. We were so close this time!

I'm truly looking forward to seeing more new faces on the next run. For me, this is about giving everyone a chance to succeed at the trial, so it's good to hear people get excited when they do.

Some of the thanks needs to be directed toward all the veteran players of the CoP that graciously give up their time and their resources each time we do this, whether it is as a leader or just as a player. As one of the occassional team leads on the run, I have the opportunity to see and hear all the stuff that goes on before the run takes place.

I'm humbled that people continue to craft daggers, purchase HVAS's, and go through the Shivan runs in order to make this work for everyone, especially on characters that they have already completed multiple CoP runs with.

So from me and from all of the players who are looking for their first win on CoP...thanks.
