There has been a lot of questions about ATs and powersets that can be used in BC2. So while I was going to wait till our first meeting it would probably be best to talk about this now.

Players new to PvP will have a limited choice as to what they play in BC2. There are many reasons for this, and the committee that met and talked about this had very specific reasons behind this limitation.

Players new to PvP will be limited to playing *damage* characters.

These characters will consist of: Blasters (psi/em, or Sonic/em); Stalkers (spines/wp or elec/wp); and dominators (mind/fire, earth/fire, earth/nrg).

Lastly there will be a limit of each type that can be signed up for so after the first meeting I will post a sign up sheet and people may sign up for character they wish to play in BC2.

The reasons for these limitations are:

It was felt that playing damage (over disruption or heals) would give players new to PvP the best chance at understanding three of the key aspects of PvP: Locking; Spiking; and Evading.

For those teaching workshops and discussing attack chains, it is much more feasible to talk about 8 powers and 2 attacks chains then 40 powers and 10 attack chains.

The limitations on how many may play each is just for fuctionality of the event. If we have 80% of players on stalkers the team aspect of this event will just not work.

Some power sets just work better if everyone is using the same type of attacks and damage types.

There have also been some questions about if people need to be available every Friday. I think everyone understands that things will come up and people may miss a week here and there, having said that we will be focusing on different workshops and aspects of the game each week so players who miss these may be at a disadvantage. Later when we start actual team play missing practices or matches may put you behind the curve as far as honing your PvP skills.

Looking forward to seeing you all on the 15th.

Also a huge thanks to Arky for securing us a Vent that will be able to accomodate everyone, we outgrew the last vent server we were using (thanks again Philly!).

KM hits like a Buick. No way Concentrated Strike should do that much damage.

That is exciting news! I had been wondering what I'd be playing! I figured it wouldn't be "play whatever you want" but I'd been chewing on some ideas.

I've got a mind/fire chilling somewhere between level 2 to 6 in praetoria right now who, while I enjoyed playing it, didn't end up working out concept-wise. Can I use that?

If dom gets too crowded I can use this event to push myself out of my comfort zone and finally play my first ever Blaster. I've been avoiding the notorious squishy, no heals and no defenses AT like the plague.

Looking forward to the 15th!

And the fun just arrived!



Once we have our first meeting and people start rolling toons I plan on running TF and acco nights for members of boot camp probably 2 times a week starting with Posi and working our way up etc.
We can use second builds to be more PvE friendly.

Stalkers (spines/wp or elec/wp)
I think you are doing new people a disservice by letting them start on stalkers.
They would learn so much more about the offensive role if they were put on something like a blaster or dom.
Learning how to lock, evade, and most of all positioning on something that can't self cap perception and is a visible target will teach them valuable fundamentals.
