Title: Fun XP Battles --- Best time and day?
Post by: Chris_the_Animal on January 26, 2018, 06:38:57 pm
Hello all you XP loving mercenaries out there.
The Bros are about to host up to 4 huge XP Battles at Bariyye.

The Battles will be with 2.5k troops on each side, full plate for each team and fair rosters to farm the most XP possible.


To make sure we gain the most possible experience for as many players as possible, I would like to know, at which time most willing mercenaries are available.


I enabled 3 possible votes for everyone. If there is another time or you need it to be more specific, let me know here.


Signed,
Chris

I heard last "XP"-battle was a mess?
Do people even know what a true XP battle is?
Like wasting as much high quality equipment as possible and as fast as possible? Fuck K/D and just grind your ass off?
Which is easy if you just put a closed combat-zone anywhere marked with ladders and 2 FS + expensive 0 slot weapons.

I don't know, wasnt there last times.

True XP battle both sides set up forward spawns not too far, everyone sets to spawn, and then killing as much as possible and no breaking forward spawns or camping them.

As for time I would say best time is saturday/sunday night in EU so it is mid day in NA aswell. Will get good rosters for this time.

I remember the old XP Battles DRZ did at the actual end of this round^^
We will do quite the same. Bariyye delivers a pretty good ground in front of the city to host such a battle.

2 FS in short distance to each other. A battlezone that will be adjusted due to the number of mercenaries on each team. Simple rules.
Melee only by the way. There wont be ranged weapons at all, because the less players dying, the less xp.


Edit: For any improvement ideas, this thread is the place. You can also PM me if you want. I hope some admin will join aswell to avoid any trolls that destroy eqip on purpose.

True, the only people who ever did successful XP battles were DRZ, you try convince me that you can do it too, 99% doubts!

The reason for that was, that DRZ had 100 people of their own clan at their battle :D
I dont think it will be as good as that, but I want to give it my best try.
For sure everyone should come to TS and have a chat while fighting. Both sides in one channel of course, else its no fun ^^

Btw, the battles will probably start next week, so make sure your hero is the right one. Archers can easily play with Melee weapons aswell and maybe we will pick up James Idea and bring Saracen Lances :D

Xp battles are just boring. Instead have some themed normal battles without rules

I've only participated in one themed xp battle, it didn't work out as, ironically, about 5 druzhinas kept destroying weapon racks and forward spawns and kept KD whoring when we tried to line up etc

Because the DRZ people in this mod are retards without some leadership; where's the problem tho, kick/ban, easy.
There will be always idiots.

Please bring armor for 18 str beggars like me.

Haha, looking forward to your best Ivani4 impersonation :D
Ofcourse there will be armor for all kinds of builds.

I guess we will mix it up a little. I just came up with the thought of "Black vs White". So Black Tincans against Steel Tincans ^^

I hope Arni is in for the battles, he can translate and will keep his guys in order. Normally I really appreciate DRZ players in my roster, as they are doing a good job. Never seen them trolling or such tbh.

Sadly only 25 people voted on the poll. We will make the XP Flow happen anyway.

The first Battle will be on the upcoming Saturday. I hope many people are available and everyone from NA is welcome aswell.
Rules and Regulations will follow in another thread.

I totally forgot to check for other battles 2 days ago. Sadly I will be stuck in my exams phase now, so I dont know if we can host another battle...
I will try to make one happen on Tuesday evening. Hold your breath for that one :)
