PartyKake Posted August 2 Posted August 2 I was hopping between alts recently, grabbing exploration badges and logging them out in various areas to get their day job buffs maxed out, and for most of them I noticed that they didn't have the exploration badges from the pvp zones or the combat shield day job power (but most of them had the duelist/predator day jobs), so I figured I'd knock out a bunch of birds with one stone and as I was going through the area I realized I had a few characters with no travel powers to get the "Triumphant" badge in warburg. Since it's a pvp zone, all your temp powers are disabled like the jetpacks... And there's a badge high in the air on top of a globe, so you need super jump or teleport or fly (or arcane flight, or combat teleport, or the willpower jump I guess? or the electric powerset teleport power, etc) And it occurred to me, a few things. 1. PVP is almsot nonexistent even on high pop servers, even though all of us in our rp builds would probably have a great time since nobody is optimized. 2. There are probably a few people who wouldn't mind teaming up across sides to get that one badge 3. As long as nobody gets ultra competitive about it, there might be a little fun to be had taking the least useful builds into the pvp area. I figure if there's any interest whatsoever it might be fun to start up some sort of "wet noodle warburg wednesday" or something. date and time are negotiable of course, since I'm fairly certain interest in the topic is going to be on that lowest of low ends. The only thing really necessary would be some sort of group effort to fight around the center of the map so that we can teleport people (friend and foe alike) up to the badge. Thoughts? 1
Ukase Posted August 3 Posted August 3 Cosmic Council did something in the arena maybe 3 years ago, where you brought level 4? I think. Maybe it was level 5. No higher than 5. And they'd pvp in the arena using various maps. I never did, because it was too late at night, and not really my thing. As for open zone kind of thing - you have to be kind of careful. If you post it - odds are someone is going to use their optimized build and lay waste to your rp builds. So, if you kept it quiet, and had each person use /ghide and hide from SGs, Friends, Searches (and remember to unhide when you're done) you might have a better time of things.
Hedgefund Posted August 3 Posted August 3 PVP zones have stores that sell very limited duration temp powers, like jump packs and flight packs. When I say limited I mean on the order of like 30 seconds. I've found that to be sufficient for my non-flyers to get all the explore badges. Just letting you know those badges are attainable without getting ported to them. 1

I don't think all my still level 1 alts will be able to afford it but it's nice that those are there.
