Basilisk PvP Event - The Grip of the Empire

When: Wednesday May 22, 2019


Round 1: 6:00pm EDT See Local Time Here (https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=%5BSWGEmu+Event%5D+Basilisk+PvP +Event+-+The+Grip+of+the+Empire+-+Round+1&iso=20190522T18&p1=179&ah=1&am=30)
Round 2: 8:30pm EDT See Local Time Here (https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=%5BSWGEmu+Event%5D+Basilisk+PvP +Event+-+The+Grip+of+the+Empire+-+Round+2&iso=20190522T2030&p1=179&ah=1&am=30)


Where: Basilisk Server - Moenia, Naboo
Rebel Base & Cloning Facility: 5044 -4443
Imperial Base & Cloning Facility: 4506 -4610




The Empire has been pressing forward and attempting to gain advantageous planetary control points in order to keep the upper hand in the Galactic Civil War. The Rebel Alliance has gone into hiding and comms have been silent.

Loyalists to the Galactic Empire were able to obtain information hinting at the possibility of Rebel forces hiding in the swamps near Moenia, Naboo. Without a moment's thought the Sector Commander deployed all available garrisons to take them out, taking no chance on losing a planet or even part of a planet, especially one so oddly important to Lord Vader and the Emperor.




Event Description:

The goal is to capture the City of Moenia and takeover the opposing factions' base, while keeping your own Factions' base secure.

Each Faction will have their own protected cloning facilities with Buff Terminals to prevent clone camping.

The Faction that is able to successfully hold all three locations at the end of the 1.5 hour timer will be deemed victorious.

Lets all take a moment to breath here.

This is just the first PVP even. More are planned, in the same setting, at different times. If you can't join this one, there will be another one.

And save the PVP for the event, not here on forum

totally agree its on at 8am my time... is their a EU/AU player on staff for early morning US events? 6PM-8PM EDT is prob a good time for most Americans i'd think.

Just in the US

6PM eastern is 5 PM Central, 4PM Mountain, 3 PM Pacific Noon Hawaii

London 11 PM
Paris 12 AM
Berlin 1 AM
Moscow 3 AM

LOL on this time

This tells you how geographically spread out the player base is. That's 15 timezones and doesn't go as far as to include the Aussies and Kiwis.

I can personally relate.

In 8 years I've lived in / played fro US Central (GMT-6) to Singapore (GMT+8) to the Britain (GMT), adjusting for seasons.

It's good to see the Staff spreading out the event times so they're accessible for people across ALL those time zones.

And we definitely have people from Italy, Austria, Norway and the Netherlands who may like to join in even though it will be 1AM for them.

Thanks for considering everyone everywhere as you balance out these event times.

Here's an idea, how about adding a 50% damage reduction to any weapon with (exceptional) in the title it dropped with during the event!

If you have that way of thinking about events your never gonna have fun ,exceptional weapons are not the strongest on server , WS had time to get the good stuff to make awesome weapons.
I have no Jedi nor any of these awesome weapons but Im still gonna be present and do what i can + have awesome animals to put in the fight to assist our allied troops , also have a PvP toon that has decent ranged weapons that can also help, Both these toons are Base busting specialists so I know I will take active part.
the glowbats will fly around my head while i put the terminals in overload ,Ahsoka can tear down to shreds any ATSTs that can be pulled.
theres many ways you can help your team just think like MacGyver lol, heck id be there even if i had to trow rocks on the opposite team :)

this kind of thinking doesn't ruin my fun. I was just saying that it would be more fun if pvp was a little less one-sided for every player except for the 25 or so who have the best loot. Weaponsmiths can never catch up to the 2500 damage power hammers and t21's that's why they sell around 1 billion credits each. These events are a good way to meet other players for sure, but it wouldn't hurt the pvp group if for once during an event they didn't have the power of 3 or 4 crafted weapons. The point is fun for as many players as possible because Basilisk needs to cater to a broader audience for a larger playerbase. It's only an event:)

The point of an event like this is to cater to a broader audience and allow those to come PvP that may usually miss out and are interested in doing so.


I'm not sure where you get your information on power hammers but there is only one I know of around the damage you speak of and for a server with the lifespan of Basilisk that is not too bad. It also is not often on the battleffield and does not give that person an I win button. There are some high end T-21's but you are not likely to see them on the battlefield, more likely on the Acklay or in the Krayt Graveyard.


So if you are done complaining about unrealistic requests as I have read you make in other posts, then we can allow people to come and have fun without issue. Buffs are provided and cloning causes no decay unless you allow yourself to be triple incapacitated.


It does not take a player a whole lot to become viable in PvP. Make a fencer, wear decent Comp armor and a PSG. Spin a small dot using 1h blind and intimidate everyone. Congratulations, you now have effectively become crowd control and highly useful to your side.

i would agree with that somewhat if this werent a sandbox game if i wanted to make a Healer that actually was specifically for Healing id play WoW or GW2 or any of the other mmo's out there ... that being said i love all the games i play im just not going to fart around the bush and say "if you dont have Doctor you suck" cuz that has no revelance on how I play SWG and about how DoT's have ruined a good game anyone with the right amount of credits can slap a really bad DoT on you and kill you even if you had doc. in this type of a PvP setting theres many people out there ..throwing DoT's not just one person .. plus the CM's dont forget we actually have a character that can make "DoT's" and use them already, and most of the good ones out there have been "farming" to make them hit for tons ...Already ... but that viable because that's what they are about .. a combat medic .. so yes sadly we all cant PvP with fun being had in any case for some ... not all .. i just think DoT's are bad

You could always you know get really good resistance buffs and rely on team mates to cure you.

Also part of the sand is being able to self heal if you want, just like its depth to have dots in the game.

Taking sand out of the box because you don't like an aspect is not addition by subtraction. I don't like standing still waiting for ent buffs, but I still have to suffer it if I want mind buffs.

i had no idea what I was doing and a terrible build not even designed for PvP. But I had a good time. I think my only problem is that now the rebels hate me more than the imps (went from something like -170 imp 200 rebel to -170 imp -300 rebel). And i did get a bit of item decay from getting impaired 3x times from Mind Disease. (no way i could counter that even when i sat by the Buff terminal and continually cleared wounds). also a few of my pets are now at 1 mind point because of disease.. they probably didnt have a reason to be in the fight in the first place, but this CH / TK toon was really the only one i could bring to battle.

anyhow gg to the imps that showed sportsmanship!! and if someone can fill me in on this objective we were supposed to protect,,.. because all i was protecting was my life as soon as i set foot out of the clone center (gotta watch out for that imp clipping his speeder through the wall and glitching into our little safezone). i did see a some action in the distance at the Rebel forward outpost, but i couldnt even get close to it

also, is there supposed to be a badge for the event or no?

The problem was the time on the events i could only participate in the first one wich most of the reb grp couldnt and we were atleast outnumbered 2 to 1 in the first event cant talk how the second one looked but i know some ppl from the first grp couldnt participate in the second run as thats gettling close to morning hourse for some of us

That is a fair assessment there the first event was really bad for the rebels there wasnt nearly enough experienced rebs out there to do anything
The second one though was really sad rebels sat in a player made SF base spamming turrets and refused to participate in the event

First group made a better fight of it. Despite numbers. Respect.

And credit to the maturity from all the guys wanting to fight without drama, regardless of dying. It is a game... right. Nice to see people getting pumped on pvp again.

Thanks for putting this event on Hakry.

Definitely looking forward to more. I think there's a lot to be learned from this one. As others noted, our biggest issue on the rebel side was numbers. Also, the location/setup of the cloner made it far too easily camped which makes regrouping and zerging much more difficult. I'd also suggest making the blue frogs buff for more comparable to doc/ent buffs you can get in almost any cantina.

Yeah I am going to look into Buff terminal changes if we can and make the cloners safer and not able to be camped.

Box in the event area so everyone has to play as a team and work for the objective instead of what happened this time

Those people in the player dropped base outside of the event area to interfere with the proceedings didn't actually enter the event contest point so a wall wouldn't have helped much other than to make it more easy to ignore the trolling they were doing.

One cannot patch people unfortunately.

This is why we can't have nice things. The first event went great though if if there were lopsided numbers early on.

This is why we can't have nice things. The first event went great though if if there were lopsided numbers early on.

Sorry, you can not GCW Livy.

Missed this event due to bad timing but watching the video I think the rebels that did participate deserves a high five instead of bashing on the forums *S*

I did applaud the rebels that were participating in the event alone without the help of the more experienced ones that hid outside the city
