Tmanarl Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) Hello Colonists. My name is Maris and I am the guildmaster of Sigma Squad. I have agreed to take on the stewardship of the BC Progression Thread. I need to recognize those who have come before me, Zinaire and Arashi, for maintaining this thread and for Magnius for gathering past info. Thank you for your dedication. This thread is one I've always followed with interest, and I would certainly like to see it grow with the success of future guilds. It has certainly not been without some drama in the past, and while that makes for an interesting read, will be something I seek to avoid. Let's lay out some ground rules now. The format will be similar to how we have had it in the past, with a few minor changes: The way completions will be listed will remain the same as before. Ordering top to bottom will be based on post times and general completion of the operation with Empire guilds first then Republic. I'll also only be listing the highest progression overall when that operation is complete. So if you're 5/7 HM Scum & Villainy but 7/7 Story I'll list only HM. Here are the new rules for posting new boss kills: Story Mode Operations - When completing a new kill or full clear of a story mode operation, please post your guild name, raid size and difficulty. Hard Mode/Nightmare Operations - When completing a new kill or full clear of a hard/nightmare mode operation, please post your guild name, raid size, difficulty and link to accompanying screenshot proving the kill. This screenshot will need to show the following in order to be acceptable evidence: Screenshot taken while still inside the instance.*If OpsLead, show phase info that details group size and difficulty.*If not OpsLead, show achievement which details group size and difficulty of boss kill. As you know, in the past we have had some issues arising over the validity of claims of boss kills, and in order to combat that, this will be the system we use. Including a screenshot is really only for current max-level endgame content. We don't need to see screenshotted proof of Hard Mode Eternity Vault clear. But for current content HM and NiM, Screenshot or it didn't happen. Whenever we enter a race for server firsts on new content, a world clock showing UTC time will need to be added to the screenshot as well. For it to count as a server first completion, each boss must be cleared in the order they are encountered in the operation. Boss skipping is not progression and will not count towards a server first clear. If you would like for your guild to be tracked in this thread (and it's not already listed below), please post the guild name, faction and provide a link to the guild website as well.

Diachi Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) Questions: I heard some guilds are doing raids together, but not in one single guild. If they clear top content, who get's credit? Or would there be any credit at all? I've seen pictures where guild X cleared HM S&V but only 6/8 were from guild X, the other 2 being from guild Y. Does that guild still get credit? And can it apply to 16-man raids? I've also seen on other forums that people would get someone with the achievement, guild them, then they'll get in an ops group, takes a screenshot of the achievement in the instance (or out of it), and claim they killed it. Does it still count (Obviously it doesn't, however few people really check)? Edited June 26, 2013 by Diachi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it still count (Obviously it doesn't, however few people really check)? I think we will have to take the word of people in the guild whether they cleared it as a guild run or a pick up group. I am sure for the 16M clears there are not a lot of guilds on this server that could field 16 ppl who could clear the high end content. With the inclusion of a screenshot after downing the last boss may suffice as you will be able to see who from the guild was in the clearance.

Tmanarl Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Good points all! In the past we have included raid groups (ie. a group that regularly raids together composed of members from different guilds) and I see no reason not to continue that. In the interest of maintaining some order to the thread however, I don't feel it's in our best interest to list PuG clears. While that makes it more difficult for some guilds to post progression, it also makes it all the more sweeter when you do clear it as a guild run. As far as 16-man clears, let's not claim a clear unless its a full 16. There are very few 16 man raiding guilds left on our server; let's not cheapen the accomplishments of those that remain. Maybe we'll see some 16-man raid groups form from different guilds, and that is fine as per above. As for the last point of groups claiming kills when they didn't actually do it; as we've seen in the past, our server does a damn good job of policing itself. I don't envision that being a problem in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnysDarksong Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 You have revas listed as an imperial guild on the list. While we have an imperial guild (The Fallen of Revas) No one raids in Fallen. The kill listings are showing blue, so the only place we're listed Empire is at the start where the guilds are listed. Our Guild Site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underground_Man Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) Epic has cleared TfB NiM Withering Horror (link) and SnV HM (video of Styrak here). Cleared SnV SM on Tuesday and SM Toborro's Courtyard earlier tonight as well but we didn't take pictures. If that is an issue just let me know and I'll gladly take some more screenshots in the next clear over the weekend on our alts. Here's a link to our website.

The list you see above was carried over from the previous thread and this is probably as good a time as any to clean it up. I will probably go through and remove any guilds that have not listed any progression yet. We do have a separate directory specifically for listing guilds; that can be found HERE.

ICSWOR Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Congrats on the OP IX kill, it's really a fun fight. I really enjoyed the feeling when we killed him as well, I have been itching to do more for weeks now, unfortunately due to summer vacations we keep having core raid members unavailable.

-JeremytheJedi- Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 We've only killed some of the dread guards, skipped it on HM and did Op IX on Nim. that's why he says he has no opinion on weather it should or shouldn't be counted towards progression. Even though it isn't counted towards progression we wanted to post our kill regardless since it is a hard fight and we are proud to have beaten it. Congrats on the OP IX kill, it's really a fun fight. I really enjoyed the feeling when we killed him as well, I have been itching to do more for weeks now, unfortunately due to summer vacations we keep having core raid members unavailable. Thanks Lu'cius and same to you. Hopefully you get your people back soon, I know the feeling as we always found ourselves 1 person short when this content was first released.

Tmanarl Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Reminder that NiM Scum & Villainy was released to the live server today. Good luck to any groups attempting the server first clear, and we are still looking for the server first full clear of NiM Terror from Beyond. Don't forget to screenshot your kills with some kind of proof of the difficulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raidmac Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Yeah a few guilds have, but the content is very difficult, and from what I've heard most guilds(including my own) are struggling to put 8 people together to run the nightmare content. My group tried out Nim Dash’roode the other day and on our best attempt we got him to 50% at the last shield generator signifying that we were super short on dps and in need of a new strategy and much more dps. P.S. I heard two guilds are going to try to down the dreadful entity tomorrow Edited July 16, 2013 by raidmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JeremytheJedi- Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Epic hasn't got into Nim S&V. we used our lockout on HM to gear more ppl out, also working on the 2 bosses we haven't got in Nim TFB yet. Really just happy that there is tons of content to do right now. and the dps checks are pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
