So we've had two weeks of kickballs and the turnout has been pretty good so far, I want to thank all of those who have come out, been patient and participated. I also just wanted to take the time to address a few things. First, is after this upcoming weekend (June 1st and 2nd) we're going to be changing the days of kickball from Saturday and Sunday to Saturday and Wednesday. Start time on Saturday will be 7pm EST and Wednesday will be at 9pm EST. I felt like back to back days of 3-4 hours of kickball is little much. Secondly, I'm going to be implementing some rules to give players that don't get selected more chances to play. We'll continue you with having people that didn't get picked in the first match to join the next match on the black team so we know who didn't get picked and those players will have to be selected before anybody else. Also it's going to be requested that if you're selected for two games in a row to sit out the next match. Thirdly, in regards to support players or more specifically Healers (Emps, Pains), if you've been playing in these kickballs it's pretty apparent there is a lack of them. I made a comment I believe on the first weekend about this but I guess I need to address it again. If a team only has one healer, you should not be targetting them, that goes for spikes and debuffing (poisons, colds, TA's, etc.) this isn't going to be enforced because obviously I can't control what you do at the end of the day but I would appreciate it if you all could comply with that. The reason being we all know how the damage is in the current state of the game to where healers are forced to use their big heal to give players some chance of surviving spikes that give them self heal suppression where they can't heal themselves. Also being harassed while being the solo healer isn't an enjoyable experience and the few healers we do get to show up to kickball are at the point where they'd rather play something else. So unless we just want to do damage vs damage teams in Kickball with no healers I would probably not target solo healers if at all possible. Thanks for reading and see you all this weekend.

Post here if you have a group that can field 8 players and that are interested in team arena matches. This isn't anything official just trying to get an idea if there's any groups out there that have the numbers and interest in doing arena.

Who is the best spines/fire scrapper you've ever witnessed? I love your name. Bananas are good. What are your 5 favorite names you've seen playing City of Heroes?

GG's everyone. Really solid turnout. Appreciate all those who came out and participated. See you all and hopefully some new faces this weekend for some more Kickball action.

Yeah I've already sent a ticket. Here's hoping there's way to get back what was lost cause I had quite bit stored on there.

Having same issue. I transfered to Halcyon 5 days ago, my AH transferred over and was there this morning (2am pst) when I logged but now is completely blank when I logged in at around 3pm.

All Incarnates are allowed this first run, depending on how people feel about it after this weekend we'll make changes if necessary. I know me personally I know how unenjoyable it is to play against full incarnates but there are some people that think it isn't an issue. We'll see what the consensus is after this weekend.

Illustration courtesy of daniel/xhiggy Official Weekly Kickball (Indomitable server) Days: Saturday and Wednesday Time: 9pm EST Location: Pocket D Alpha Incarnate only and no TK For those that are unclear on what exactly kickball is, it's a casual PvP arena experience where players of any skill level and ability are welcome, whether you've never PvPed before or maybe you're considered a seasoned PvPer. Based on how many people show up typically there will be 2 teams, 1 captain each and they select players one at a time for a 10 minute timed match where the team with the most kills at the end of the timer wins. If we have more than 16 people we'll either make more than 2 teams or have two separate events going at a time depending on the amount of people that show up. I would appreciate if the more veteran players ensure teams aren't heavily stacked in one teams favor and keep support players even on both sides. This is a more casual PvP experience but communication is a important aspect to City of Heroes PvP, even if you don't have a mic I would still highly suggest downloading Discord and joining the official PvP discord here.

I'm not sure what this is. So kickball, at least what my definition is, is a match complied of whoever shows up with random captains who select players 1 at a time from whoever is in the event. If we have more than 16 people we would just have multiple going at a time or more than two teams per match. There's no bracket style tournament. You just show up. All classes and builds welcome. Would recommend being at least level 47.

Indomitable

Planning on setting up weekly kickballs for Saturday and Sunday and trying to gather info on what time would work best for the majority of the PvP community. Please vote accordingly and post any suggestions you might have.

Did you have any suggestions as far as days and times? I wouldn't want you to not be there. Or you could always use the discord and post an @everyone message in the general PvP zone channels at anytime you want to PvP and see if people show up, that's always an option.

Link here I believe the majority of the PvP player base is playing on Indomitable. You can add me in-game my global is @hp if you have any basic questions I can possibly help you or point you in the direction of someone who could.

Not the best first post for the new section. I like the idea though.

But but Indomitable was named unofficial PvP server.

Very nice! This is a great starter build for those newer to the game to help them get going somewhat. Keep 'em coming!

This is different from being a GM. If you become a Watch Dog, YOU ARE NOT a GM. I'll believe my sources that I'm in contact with, it seems you're clearly not cut out for the Watch Dogs, not everyone is. Good luck hero. - Real Big Dawg

I'll tell you right off the chief, you look like a solid recruit. I'll be reaching out for a more personal interview and we'll go from there but I'm certain based off what you've told me so far you pretty much a shoe in. - Real Big Dawg

I'm still getting details from the higher ups. My understanding is this is a group of people to be watchers over the servers as a whole. Keep players in check and mischief down to a minimum. I'm still ironing out the details of the contracts and what benefits we'll be getting. One I know for sure is a fully IO'ed 50 of our choice and still more to be decided out. I'll post all details once I've received them. - Real Big Dawg

So I was watching someones stream and a Watch Dog organization is in the works and I was giving the incredible responsibility of becoming the first Watch Dog and senior community manager of said Watch Dogs. Why are you here? As the leader of The Watch Dogs, I'm looking for new dogs. OUR watch begins soon ladies and gentlemen. If you're interested please post below of your experience in the field and why you'd be a valuable member of The Watch Dogs. -Real Big Dawg

Same.
