Well most people already hang out on <Ghost> mumble the most so let's go there. Also i'll be imp side on my merc Protovai picking up whoever wants to participate imp side. Anyone volunteer to do so for pub side?

Dodge only works for melee and range damage (both are white damage) and it won't do anything against force and tech damage (yellow damage) other than cleanse dots. Also, and I don't think a lot of people know this, but if you stun them during their dodge you still can do white damage to them, making dodge and evasion useless.

Ok let's try next Friday

Ok don't get derailed lol. Do we have enough people to make this happen? If anyone is interested please post which day is OK for you.

Yeah you just worded it so well I had to try and get it going on my server, besides English is my second language so I took some parts out of yours

It depends on when can the most people participate so it's up to everyone, personally i'm ok almost any day but fridays and saturdays are the most sure.

Hey guys, so i've seen a lot of people posting that group ranked is just a farm fest to one team and some others saying they don't have a team or experience at all, so im making an attempt to try and organize a server kickball night. Ranked kickball would work something like this: At a set time, people log in, form a large ops group or form up in comms (I have a mumble server we can use), and we pick team captains or randomly assign players to each team, then all the "pug" teams queue team ranked and play against each other, if for example, Team A loses to Team B, and Team A wants to make a trade to make things more balanced, they could trade one of their players for a player from Team B of the same role (No swapping healer for tank or dps for healer ect) sticking to the comp of 1 tank 2 dps and 1 healer. "Why not just have everyone queue solo ranked?" one might ask, and thats b/c lets be honest, solo ranked in comparison to team ranked is meh, and we want to promote the growth of team ranked in this game, and most solo ranked games are just dps races of 4 dps vs 4 dps and there isnt a whole lot of strategy involved besides "tunnel the merc" or what have you. Also we can put one experienced guy in a team that doesn't have much experience and have him call the shots, give tips and point out mistakes and stuff helping newcomers learn tactics instead of just farming dps/heheals and hope for the best. Having kickball nights allows players who dont have teams of their own to come out and try out team ranked in an environment that is meant to create some resemblance of fairness/balance, and allowing those players who already play team ranked, to A. meet new pvpers interested in team ranked and B. to play classes they wouldnt necesarily get to play on their current try-hard teams, for example merc heals or engineering sniper or what have you. I have already spoken to some of the people I play with on pubside, and they expressed interest in the idea, is there people on this server that would be interested in doing something like this maybe once a week or once every other week, having one night where the try-hard guild teams dont queue and everyone comes out for a fun night of non-serious pvp and networking to try and promote the growth of the small ranked population on our server? TL; DR: Interested in kickball for group ranked?

Can you teach me to ERP?

Yeah I guess but I kinda have hopes with this being a small server where everyone knows each other and filled with nice people

Holy **** teach me, master.

See now that's a different attitude, and really there's no problem with you not wanting to queue no one can force you. And yeah about the kickball thing is something I'd like and be willing to do of course if there's 2+ kickball teams and no superteam in queue cause you wouldn't get to teach anything under the pressure of a better team haha.

THIS. Thank you! To be honest any PvPer much rather go against a better team and lose with good match and learn new stuff than just roflstomp someone. It is why we've tried to offer help, get more teams to queue and don't even run a stacked fotm group or something. We'd be avoiding <Shots Fired> team and stuff if Zygomatic's guess about us was right.

Can we have this event back? WTB double comms for new toons pls.

Thought you didn't have any toon left in here

Reported for shaming me on the forums, enjoy your ban. Zeph whisper me in game and I'll help you out, I'd take you and anyone that wants to learn stuff in my group for ranked if we can ever get kickball style groups goin. Tho I'm not really good in group ranked or anything besides getting globaled :'(
