Star Wars Galaxies Patch Notes

This is going to be a pilot for a weekly event, so expect it to be very loose with rules as i want it to be able to run by anyone, even if I am unable to attend due to working late/agro. I think that the recent changes to the PvP system and reduced tension between each side merits this event be very successful.

What: This is going to play out alot like Arathi Basin in WoW.(yes a wow Reference) There are going to be a separate buff location for each faction, that will then be off limits to overt members of the opposite factions. Players will then battle over control of the Starports(In this case: Tyrena, Kor Vella, and Doaba Gurfel)

Imperials are going to group, buff, go Overt(Recruiter-front of Cantina) and STORE CLONE DATA in Bela Vista, Correllia. Rebels will do the Same in Coronet, Corellia(Recruiter- Back room of cantina). If available, a staff member will be blocking off the additional recruiters on this planet. Storing Clone data is going to be important because it is going to be the only location to go overt again and rejoin the battle.

Buff will not be provided by staff or myself. Any doctor that wishes to make some scratch is welcome to set up shop in either city. If there is not a doctor in one of the 2 cities, i will set my own doc up and buff for FMV just so each side has a buffer.

Rules:
Claiming a Starport: to claim a starport you must control the ticket Vendor room for 10 minutes uncontested.
To Change Claim: All members of the opposing faction must be killed, then the room must be held uncontested for 10 minutes.
Shuttling: You may Shuttle to anywhere, from anywhere. Defending players must defends from outside the Starport, and from inside of it as well. Shuttling to Shuttleports rather then starports may be strategically beneficial.
Jedi- Until i can get confirmation that the mass jedi lag issue was corrected, I am going to ask people that have the means to come on a different character to do so. If you have 1 combat char, and it happens to be a jedi, so be it.
Dot/Uber Weapons- Im not going to say not to use them, but as a hint, if i bring my combat toon down, im not using my 200+ strength fires or weapons over 1000max. Keep the event fair for everyone, its about more then just yourself.
Dots in General- Bring your doc hybrid buddy with cures and blankets. It might get dicey without one.
Dying- If you die, rebuffed/or dont, go overt again and head back into the action. REMEMBER TO STORE YOUR CLONE to prevent having to shuttle back to your factions base city.

Timing-
(RECOMMENDED)6:30 EST – Arrive at Factional Gathering Place to get buffed. Lines May be long so plan accordingly.
7:00 EST – Event begins and combat toons head out to the 3 cities under siege.
7-10:00 EST Combat ensues, If possible, System messages will go out in this Format: "Tyrena: Imperial Controlled Doaba Gurfel: In Combat Kor Vella: Rebel Controlled" so players know where the action is for their faction. Unclaimed is another Status if a members of a claiming faction leave the area.
10:00 EST A Victor Declared.

If i have time, I’m going to toss together about 20 Swoops for the Winning Faction to be given out randomly.

As always, Final say on anything to do with this event resides with me. In my absence or inability to judge a situation, the word of any SWGEmu Staff member trumps that of anyone else.

This is an attempted to stress the planet rather then one specific area. Bugs have been fixed due to the last few events. In the event of a crash, the event will continue/restart after the crash as time allows.

Please post any comments/concerns.

Jedi Suggestion Removed.
