Testing Focus:

Please remember to search Mantis first before filing your own report(s)

What will be supplied?

PVP Faction Bases
Blue Frogs
Faction Cloning Facilities (equipped with recruiter and a buff terminal)

Preparation for the event

We strongly advise those who would like to participate in this event to jump on Nova in the upcoming couple of weeks to prepare some gear and consumables. While frog items will be readily available, they cannot compare to player-crafted items. Things to prepare ahead of time:

• Armor (most important in this event due to turret damage)- New better armor - Composite, Kashyyykian, & Ithorian - is now offered on Blue Frogs, however it is strongly advised to at least slice the pieces to highest possible base. 90% base/38% stun crafted armor would of course fare best
• Weapons
• Stims/buffs/DOTs
• Food/Drinks ARE NOT available on the frog and need to be crafted

How will this help?

Any bugs that are found now can be addressed before the new code is merged to Basilisk with the upcoming Publish 8. We’re counting on your support to achieve this goal.

FYI, the faction cloning facilities are new items created specifically for events. Only members of the associated faction can enter or clone to them (and aren't set back to on leave when cloning). The idea is to prevent clone camping and allow a side to be able to regroup. As mentioned, they include a recruiter within and a terminal that has a get buffs option (same as regular event buffs, but without ECs having to manually provide them).

If anyone ends up jumping onto Nova anytime between now & the Event , to test things out beforehand and/or make preparations & such, please feel free to login our IRC chat (and type: /join #openqa) if you have any questions about any of the newly coded GCW/Pub8-pending stuff.

Anyways, hope to see a great turnout by our amazing Community on the 12th!!

Looks like Fun !

I would like to know if everyone will be using frog gear to make it fair or is there going to be that one guy with a god weapon and armor just destroying everyone cause he no-lifed the test server?

[TheSaberGuy]

Yes people will likely bring good weapons, you have plenty of time between now and when the event happens to acquire better than blue frog gear.

[CmdrPwn]

is there going to be that one guy with a god weapon and armor just destroying everyone cause he no-lifed the test server?

There will be a couple people with that. Not just because of no life, but the CTs have spawned items in the past to make testing easier.

[weedie]

We made sure to post the event announcement 2 weeks ahead of time to give participants time to prepare. While obviously we want people to have fun and some great fights, main purpose of this event is to test thus we are not focused on preserving or enforcing any sort of equality in gear.

On top of that, better armor was added to frogs so that we don't have people get one shot by the turrets. But anything beyond that is participants responsibility, thus us advising to prepare ahead of time.

[Ivojedi]

If nothing else, log on at some point ahead of the event, pick up smuggler from the frogs, and spend a little time slicing the frog gear. The new frog armor has 65% base so can be sliced to well over 80% (though not quite to 90%. You'll have to craft your own if you want 90%). The frog weapons aren't great, but slicing some ahead of time can make a big difference.

I'm wondering how many Jedi each side will have? Nee, I'm coming for you.....

Bring it.



(Although technically i'll be in blue-glowy-mode since, as STAFF, i cannot intervene. )

It's prepared.


Seriously hope to see as many people show up as possible!

[buellronin]

As long as I still have my 750 jaws on to I'm happy

On a serious note...does intim still stack on nova?

[dedaskalion]

no you can't lol

[buellronin]

no you can't lol

U gotta admit though...its a legit question that can change the template chosen.

Good stuff..


PS...this event would only be better if the start time were 11pm est
