IC PvP = Camp the DC sewer base

Nice! I’m so sick of all the blues zerging is up top!

Haven't run into this problem yet. So the platform isn't off limits to enemy factions? Hmmmm...Intended or is this really an exploit?
Personally I think that platform should be instant death for enemy factions.

I'm rather new to IC, but the event has been mostly fine. The two things that I have found to be really annoying are the base camping(which is happening to all 3 factions) and large groups running down every solo player they see. Its fine, I get why these things happen. But I personally have a different idea of fun, one that includes letting enemies run free during events if they obviously DO NOT want to fight me. Base camping seems like you just want for other people to not have fun, which will lead to you having less people to fight in the long run since you drove people away. Base camping is for 12 year olds. Tunnel visioning on solo players while in a zerg, finding it the MOST fun to take out people waaaaaaaaaay under your skill level, again, seems like a childish thing to be obsessed with doing.

BUT, all of that being said, I have found that I rather like IC and hope to spend some time there even after the event is over.

I feel like it was at one point? I mean I remember when ic was new it wasn't but I seem to remember them making it an instant death 🤔 I could be completely wrong. But yeah, I'm guessing it's either not working or they took the instant death away.

1. Leave base by the city district
2.Enter the sewer by district entrance

There you go your past the zerg

Best approach is park a character at a boss in sewers, kill boss for tickets, log off with characters still at boss. Next day, log back on with that character already camping the boss. You never have to run past people camping entrance.

I was there last night. DC base near the door was loud and the floor was shaking. It was clear that enemy players were on the platform. If going into the sewers is your goal, players have options when this happens.

-Go out the door and fight on the platform.
-Take the side door to flank the enemies or attempt to sneak away.
-Avoid it completely by taking the Elven Gardens ladder and dropping down to the sewers from the manhole.

And don't forget this one:

-Queue for a different campaign

There are four campaigns. It's very easy to avoid that situation.

yeah, not a big fan of enemies camping by district doors or the sewer base entrances...

I remember the last couple of IC events was really happy to see that not happening so much...

Pretty disgusting xbox NA this event. Lots of DC camping AD doors and will kill you with AOE before you're out of the load screen. Kinda sad Zos won't but a damage immunity buff when you're going through said doors.

Had a few groups (both EP and DC) camping the AD sewer base tonight. There were a lot of PvEers porting in to get tickets, and they kept running out the door and popping back up a minute later at the transitus.

After a while, everybody grouped up, and we made a strong push.... drove the campers back and eventually sent them all home. Some people were saying how much fun it was, as we were fighting for 10-15 minutes nonstop. So we rolled through the sewers, about 12 of us, killed some minibosses, got tickets for everybody, and made our way to the center.

There was minimal resistance at the Simulacrum spawn point, and we engaged Molag Bal. We had him almost down when a group of EP raiders tried to take him from us. Everybody fought valiantly, were rezzing folks as they died, and we got Bal down and were working on the enemy players, but then a zerg rolled in and overwhelmed us.

It was cool because here was a group of mostly PvEers and a few PvP, and everybody was excited and having a blast and talking about how much fun our pick-up raid had been. The ones that were just there to get tickets and get out came with us all the way to the big fight, and were talking about coming back tomorrow to do it all again.

So, don't just turn your nose up at that which you haven't tried, you might just find out that it's really a lot of fun. Throw on some Impenetrable gear, temporarily move your CP around to anti-player buffs, and you may find that you are better at PvP than you think.

I was there for that last night.
Was fun.
Most of the time they do it because they are bored and know they should get a good fight if they come to the base.
