GvG Xbox NA Interest List

montiferus · May 2018

The PC community has done an amazing job of coming together to organize GvG events. I would like to do the same on Xbox. I am sure a lot of us are tired with the status quo in PVP and would like to challenge ourselves in a more formal, organized environment. I am trying to gauge the level of interest for such an event. If you are interested please post here and let me know a little about yourself and your team. You can also message me in game GT - montiferus.

Here are my initial thoughts (completely open to change based on feedback).

We will do this in a campaign that does NOT have emp so location/campaign is going to be subject to change.

Round Robin
4v4
6v6
8v8

- No drama. The only way this will work is if we are all respectful of one another. I can't emphasize this enough
- No continuous attack buff
- No resurrections
- No poisons
- No guard
- Maximum of one of each defensive Ult set (Trees, Remembrance, Restoration Ult)
- No Meridia's Blessed, Shieldbreaker, Earthgore, or Vaguard's Challenge
- All players dump ults at the start of each match

As much as I would love to have people attend to spectate the server impact will most likely be too much so we will have to keep attendees only to people participating. My hope is groups from each faction will attend and police unwanted interference.

Unfortunately my availability is very limited/sporadic so I will definitely need help in organizing this. Anyone willing to assist would be greatly appreciated. I would like to offer prizes for the top finishers but my funds are limited so I am not sure how we would go about awarding money. Any thoughts on this matter would be appreciated. I am willing to contribute 200k of my own money to the prize pool.

On PC, we did it on a dead campaign, but the dead campaign maps tend to be lopsided. A bunch of us got together about an hour before hand and dethroned the emp and then reset the relics. I was on EP and running alongside an AD scroll carry group protecting them from DC zerg lol. It was fun, but probably the only time I’ll ever do that lol.

We had a rule where any team could decline a fight with another team and that nobody could publicly *** talk that team for doing so.

We also had a rule that nobody could use the event to post exposed vids and that doing so blocked them from receiving a prize. Before I posted the GvG vid I made, I got permission from the members / leaders of the groups we had fought. I also had to edit out my own team’s audio because we have some toxic dialogue (who should we attack? Well XxX is clearly the worst and will drop the quickest, etc)

So far no drama has arisen between the teams who showed up for the PC NA GvGs.. the only drama we’ve had is some taunting of some of the teams that didn’t show up... but because they didn’t show up, nobody is too worried about their feelings anyway.

Edit: oh, also I should add that we always do a massive zerg v zerg faction brawl at the end of these events. It’s going to happen no matter what, so might as well make it official.

Eventually there will be a last “GvG” fight. Have all the group leaders know when that fight is and make sure the people in that final GvG fight are fighting to the death and don’t leave a person alive to Rez like usual. Once that final person on the losing team dies, the zerg brawl begins!! No rules, guard is allowed, Earthgore, bring buddies, etc. we had a ton of people show up who just spectated the GvG but took part in the brawl and had a blast.

I'm interested. GT is same as forum tag. I think I can muster up three buddies for a team.
