Stippling Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Introduction Greetings all. My name is Stippling and I am the guild master of <Failure>. I will be tracking PvE progression for the Bastion for the Shadow of Revan expansion. I also did the PvE progression thread from 2.7 to the end of the Hutt expansion. That thread can be found here: Bastion Progression in 2.0. Unlike the previous tracking attempts, I will no longer be collecting information regarding Story Mode operation kills. Such data only served to clutter and confuse the system, and rather than flood this thread with arbitrary kills, we'll focus only on the ones that matter. As before, we will be differentiating between boss kills achieved with the Nightmare Power buff to reward groups who kill bosses while the content is its most challenging. Quick Links __1. [jumpto=11]The Ravagers[/jumpto] __2. [jumpto=2]Temple of Sacrifice[/jumpto] Participating in Progression Tracking To get your guild listed for progression, each time your group kills a boss (or a set of new kills), submit a reply to this thread detailing the following: __Guild Name __Empire or Republic __What raid you are doing / which boss you killed __Server (and/or UTC) time it was killed / screenshot or video proof (more on this below) Valid Screenshots All progression kills must be full guild kills. All screenshots for proof of kills have to be in the instance shortly after the boss dies, and all 8/16 people must be seen in the raid frames in the screenshot. It must have proof of difficulty mode. All screenshots must be unedited with the game clock clearly shown. Using the UTC clock to verify the time of your kill is optional but beneficial, especially when competing for World Progression. Click here for an example. There are a few different ways you can post an acceptable screenshot/video: Take a screenshot with your Achievement tab open and showing the boss you have killed. Take a screenshot the second the boss dies and the "Achievement Unlocked" is still on your screen. Post a screenshot showing the loot the boss dropped.Videos are also great. Nightmare Content Verification: For nightmare content, verification rules will be enforced more strictly to ensure content has been cleared legitimately. Please ensure that as many of the following are all present:The full raid group.The difficulty setting or the loot dropped by the boss.The achievement (either in chat or in your achievement window). Verification that the boss was killed under the effects of Nightmare Power. If your screenshot includes this UTC clock your ranking will be based off that time, if that UTC clock is not present then it will be based off the time of your post. Do not use a different UTC clock as lots do not update constantly. Ranking Kill stuff, you go up. Rankings will prioritize guilds with the most kills of the current tier of content. Example: A guild who has killed Hard Mode Coratanni will rank lower than a guild that has killed Nightmare Mode Sparky. When ranking Nightmare kills, a pseudo point system is in place. Nightmare with Nightmare Power kills count as two points, whereas non-Nightmare Power kills will count as 1. Ties are awarded to the guild with more Nightmare Power kills. Ties between equal points will prefer groups who have cleared bosses in the proper order (not skipping between 8 and 16). [aname=11]1.

Stippling Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) EDIT: Wildfire spreads fast. Without jumping into details, it's growing increasingly apparent that there are raid-related "bugs" within the game tainting this gearing cycle in both story and hard mode progression. In typical Bioware fashion, developers are too busy celebrating their holidays to stop the downfall of PvE and the economy. Despite Bioware's blunders, and while I am of the mind that the rampant cheating calls into question the legitimacy of any sort of progression tracking, I will nevertheless continue this service to the community in the spirit of keeping Bastion a quality server. <Failure> will generally be of the mindset that this cheat is going too far and granting too much of an advantage to raid groups in the game. With the capacity to nearly min-max 75% of a players gear, such blatant disregard for the natural progression cycle diminishes the fun and tampers with the balance of PvE content. Our primary raid group has decided to keep their hands clean of such activities, and many of our other raid groups in-guild have followed suit. While even <Failure> will probably never be 100% clean, it will be our goal to progress honestly, and we hope that many of the great groups that inhabit this server share our views. While this may hinder us this tier, we will wear this handicap with pride. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and happy holidays.

Stippling Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Updated, gratz on the kills! Make sure to give me proof of the early boss kills, as I can't assume they were killed despite their ease. Thanks for the quality kill shots guys, makes my job easier.
