The Battle for Southshore: Cross Realm WPvP Event

Incoming wall of text. I updated the player list.

D: noooooo
We'll have to get a full ret premade going one day or something! To educate this bracket on the almost certain extinction of this once proud and noble spec!

I maaaaaaaaaay have a gig at the same time as this but the time hasn't been made clear to me yet. I'll let you guys know as soon as I do so I can either free up a spot for another hordie or prepare my staff for some major thwackin'!
No worries, we want you there but if you can't we totally understand :)

This is a World PVP event, and the first experiment into cross-realming for events. Both of those facts should be kept well in mind by all attendees. This is not like trying to set up a well-balanced 10v10 premade WSG game. World PVP is messy. There's nothing fair about it: you gank, you get ganked, you get parties of people grouping up to find you. You call for help, you respond to calls for help... it's visceral, it's mean, and it's thrilling.

So don't be worried about whether or not there's going to be class balance among the two factions. Heck, don't even worry if there's the same number of people among the two factions. There's going to be absolutely no way to determine a winner or a loser... this is more for the experience of doing it, not for the bragging rights of winning. If you're going into this thinking you're going to be able to brag about your side winning afterwards, forget that notion right now and everyone will have a much better time.
I agree. I've lost sight of the original goal a bit.

This is just for fun, nothing too serious, and as you said WPvP is pretty unforgiving. We want it to be fair but at the same time we shouldn't freak out if it's a bit wonky or doesn't go quite as planned. If people leave or don't show up we can ask in chat or just continue without them.

As for grouping, the plan is to get people grouped pre-slaughter. If people are late to login then I guess they're lost, unless shft or someone who isn't involved wants to go pick them up.

I have a question.. Since f2p can't use the raid channel how are we going to pick which groups we are in to communicate? I would rather not see some groups stacked with 5 dps then another team 5 heals and so on. This would be the raid leaders job but some group forming would be nice so we don't have to /say ALL the time when trying to talk with someone.
Ah! This brings me to something I need to bring up!

I have no clue about our vent info, so I need someone to possibly set this up. I got a message about the Skype group, but the Skype group was never planned to be a way to communicate with your team during the event. This would be a good time for [MENTION=7286]Earlwing[/MENTION] maybe [MENTION=10336]Yde[/MENTION] to /bonk me on the noggin here. I got no clue about vent info or if they share it. Last I heard it was kind of uncommon to share the info with people, let alone 50 or so people.

Alternatively, we can make separate Skype groups for each side. Thoughts on this? I had kind of, maybe, sorta forgotten about the no /raid talking thing. But voice chat is a good idea, even just listening can and will help. Other then that, from my understanding you can rearrange the raid groups.

i will def go on my alli rogue :D
Need a name and you're in :)

late as it may be, my just reading clearly illustrates how i dont check this site enough, id hate to miss something like this so if theres still room id love to bring my alliance hunter
I'm afraid you are in fact, late :(

Alliance reserved is [MENTION=16437]FunkVolume[/MENTION]. They didn't list a name but they posted first.

My apologies, I should have logged on sooner and closed alliance signups. We hope to get some more events like this happening in the future, so be sure to check TI every now and then. We're already working on ideas :)

In bgs I was invited to a 24s on ap group. It was done with 3 other people from all different servers. So may be we can go into as bg and group with a p2p on Ap.
Not sure what you mean. Do you mean wargames? Premade 10v10 kind of BGs? Those to the best of my knowledge don't work for off-xp currently. If you mean cross realm grouping, you can group with and queue BGs with cross realm people.

On that note :eek:

From my understanding, grouping our raid will work like this. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

P2P A groups our Aerie Peak players.

P2P B logs on to the other server, in this case lets say Misha, Lil's server. Ideally they make a DK, assuming they don't have a 10+ toon on that server, so they can join and convert to raid which requires at least level 10.

P2P A invite P2P B to the group via real id or battle tag, passes lead.

P2P B invites Lil to the group. Passes lead back, leaves group.

I got some P2Ps who are gonna help me group. I plan to assign certain P2Ps to each player. Should help make things easier. Kind of waiting on signups to settle before assigning players to P2Ps.
 
Just a heads up Rhae, a 25 person skype group would be insane to try. The amount of background noise etc would be ridiculous.
 
I'm working fri and sun but not sat so I'm definitely in now so you can take that stupid asterisk away from me :p I think like billow said that 25 person vent/skype groups will be ALOT of talking and hard to communicate and I think alot of the people won't even be able to use it or talk. Think it would just be better getting groups together that has even classes so one isn't dps or healer heavy.

As for the inviting yes that is exactly how it works. If there are big realms other then AP which it looks like vash is the only one above 3 it could be helpful to get P2P B to inv P2P C that has a main on vash then P2P B goes to next realm which P2P C invs their realm buddies
 
what's with so many dread pirate rings on horde? Is it easier to get for some reason, or are they all just really good at copping p2p help?
 
Added, nice to see another ret paladin :)

Haha. I know nothing about Skype calls or anything, just suggesting ideas :)

P2P C is confusing me :eek:
 
Mind changing my status to tentative or something..? There might be some stuff going on during this weekend.
 
Might save time if people met at sfk instead of get a summon, then can summon the others that didn't travel.

No worries, just try to be there if you can :O

Yes, this is a very good idea. If you can park your toon by SFK, that would really help speed things up ;)

For alliance it's a longer trip but for horde it's pretty short.

I have been trying to figure out Veronix's role for a few days and it seems he can't be DPS geared before Saturday. We're at the point were I want to be done with signups. I need to start finalizing things, so I've accepted them as another horde healer. Before everyone chimes in with that "horde always has more healers" or any of that non-sense, this was decided by someone who is going to be playing alliance.

I have no issue with this. I just feel sorry for those healers I had switch to DPS specs.

Poor planning on my part, sorry :p
 
Evwywon weady?

(practicing my /got-slapped-in-the-face-and-lost-a-couple-of-teeth talk)

We have quite a few specs that like fury aren't "optimal". Really, it's up to you, at this point I just want people to show up.

Pleeeease, show up D:"

I may not be able to make it because of a newly scheduled lax practice, also DOUBLE EXP WEEKEND. So if anyone else wants a spot you can take me off, but if no one else will, I'll try to make it.
That's odd. Alliance and horde has lost one person each.

The universe must like me, it's balancing it out for me :O

I can only send PMs to like four people at a time anyhow, cause I don't have a fancy group title thingy-ma-bobber!
