Results from the Inaugural NewbSwarm event!

Tonight we had the inaugural NewbSwarm event. It was held in Ulhazzen and consisted of 2 teams of characters that were level 21 or lower single classes. We had a total of 4 rounds, with teams being randomly reassigned between each. The teams averaged of 6 players each, a bit lower turnout than we had anticipated.

We had four rounds of team combat, then the event was finished with a free for all melee.

Round 1:

  • Blue team (winner): Lamiah, Umunt, Hezahr, Swyat, Fjif
  • Red Team (loser): Morphew, Aerame, Thunderhoof, Skelol, Kasinsia

Round 2:

  • Blue team(winner): Lamiah, Umunt, Hezahr, Swyat, Bernhard
  • Red team(loser): Joavi, Skelol, Thunderhoof, Morphew, Aerame, Kasinsia

Round 3:

  • Blue team(winner): Morphew, Skelol, Swyat, Hezahyr, Bernhard
  • Red team(loser): Aerame, Joavi, Umunt, Kasinsia, Lamiah

Round 4:

  • Blue team(winner): Lamiah, Joavi, Swyat, Andrellia, Bernhard
  • Red team(loser): Skelol, Hezahr, Morphew, Kasinsia, Umunt

The last man standing in the free for all was Swyat.

Players that deserve special mention:

  • Umunt received the “tailgater’s award” for cpking Fjif an hour before the fight while both were exping in Ulhazzen.
  • Thunderhoof received the “black man in a movie award” for being the first to die.
  • Swyat received the “divine intervention award” for surviving the day without being killed.
  • Lamiah received the “Robocop award” for the highest body count.
  • Honorable mention to the prisoners of Ulhazzen who took their toll on both teams.

 

Be sure to get your characters built and ready for the next swarm, Toshi is the likely site for the next confrontation! Level 30 and under single and dual classes will be welcome to join.

You will need an account for the chat server in order to participate.

Also include in the email subject line the word “NEWBSWARM” in all caps. Please only one character per person for this first event.

When the time draws nearer, likely saturday night or so, I will post instructions on how to log onto the server and anything else you need to know / do to make stuff work.

First Swarm on Sunday

The date and time has been set! The first newbswarm will be on Sunday, May 15 at 7:00 est. As previously mentioned it will be a level 21 and under swarm and held in Ulhazzen. If you haven’t made a character yet there is still plenty of time!

Ulhazzen Swarm

For our trial run, we have decided to swarm Ulhazzen. As you all know this zone is level 21 and under single classes, so the event will be limited to the same. This will be the absolute minimum investment in time and money to fight in CPK. Hopefully the script will be (mostly) debugged and we will be able to fight next weekend (May 13-15). If you don’t already have a character made, pick a class and spend some downtime leveling it up. I would imagine 18 or so would be sufficient. If you decide  to hit 21 be careful not to xp any more. If you accidentally level to 22 during the fight you will be teleported out of the zone and have no way to get back in.

Hope to see everybody soon!

We are getting closer…

Aademyr has been working on the NewbSwarm script and chatserver. He has made a lot of progress and he is in a debugging phase. The forums are up and running (link is on the left) so feel free to head over there and post any ideas or questions you may have. We want to have as many people with as many different perspectives as possible. The more input we have the better able we will be to tweak things for the most fun possible.

Some ideas we have had so far are:

  • Updates on this page after all official games, with a list of who was on which team, who landed killing blows, who all died, etc.
  • Rankings for every player that has played, with a list of kills/deaths, games played in, times they were on winning and losing team.
  • Bounties- people with the highest kill/death ratio, most games played in, etc. Special prizes to whoever lands the killing blow on bountied chars.
  • Ulhazzen swarm- level 20 and under single classes. Would completely change the strategies involved, and allow people minimal time investment to jump in and try CPK out.

What do you think would be fun to see? Post it in the forums, or feel free to mudmail Aademyr or Brahmus.
