Elf War (aka DE killing spree)

General Discussion Started Last reply 62 posts
Us folk over on Gustin are organizing an Elf War. Dark Elves versus Light Elves, it will take place in the Neutral Zone on re-rolled characters. The level limit will be 20th (no 1st class change this helps keep everyone’s skills on a relative level playing field) and top NG gear is allowed. As it stands now this event will be on Friday 15th, the start time will be finalized over the next few days. I encourage all those interested to join.

Greetings,

It's my pleasure to help you.

Give a meeting point for both camps.

Designate leaders for both sides who will give instructions (they should also be able to provide basic NG weapons for peeps who need help).

Tell where the battle is going on, so that newcomers who get attracted know where to go.

Have Fun ! ™

Too bad I dont have any toons on Gustin but this seem like a very cool event and I will try to join in.

It's just for sub 20 toon's so most people are re-rolling. I've revived an old level 10 I had when I first started, so he's currently in training for the event. :)

Yeah your right but I kinda gotten used to always havinng top no-grade :)
Sounds like fun :) Guess I'll have some re-rolling to do then on Gustin :) Keep us posted ;)
Ok, it will take place the 15th and start at 9pm EST (which is 5am the 16th GMT I think) but I’m sure it will last a few hours so the Europeans can show up a bit late with no worries (most of you guys stay up all night anyways).

We just need to make sure there is an even split of DE vs. LE (I know the DE’s rule but we still want it to be fun).

That's a variable you have NO control over.

A good idea is to plant both a LE and a DE close to the battlefield, and log in accordingly if you want to balance out the forces.

EDIT : OMG 6969 !
If im going to be the only poor LE, i may have to use my level 40 to counter balance :eek:

I would assume that we can just use the two towns as base camps.

I agree
Maybe you guys should ask people who are participating what race they plan on playing. Could be a little work intensive but you could get an idea of the sides.

You could also set up a temporarly Hotmail account and just tell people that if they are planning on participating they can send an e-mail with "ligh elf"/"dark elf" in the subject. That might be easier for you.

You don't even have to count. Just put light elf in one folder and dark in another and then look at the totals. Ask people to send one e-mail per player with no additional messages as they won't be opened. Just a thought.

Alright I changed the poll on my homepage to get an indication of the Light/Dark Elf split. www.faithkil.com (http://www.faithkil.com)

Sounds like a good idea, my DE is almost up to speed so I think I will roll up a LE now.(just in case) :cool:
Keep checking the boards for this guys, and get those elves leveled :)
Got my LE to 12, and my DE to 14 today <shrugs> .. easy money to get both to 20 and in near top NG by end of the week with the n00b buffs during my spare time. This way I can log in what ever is needed most for the event.

next time got to do a orc vs dwarf fight.

and a human vs every one fight.
5am is early my time, but count me in. I'll roll to Gustin for this.
Would be amazing to see this happen in other servers *cough*Erica*cough*
I hate raining on a parade, but high level people will strap on nub gear and get involved. Sounds like fun tho.
LOL, I've never seen so many actual human players in the elf villages at one time before. :)
Looks like it might be a big turnout.
You won't be the only light elf. I re-rolled on and so far have her up to lvl 13. So maybe it'll be just us two fighting an army of DE's. :cool:
3 (I think I count) LE ladis own DE ladies :o
hella fun it sounds to be, ill join Durgoth on the poor LE side and together we shall RAGE over the fields :)
Rules of the Elf War:

Level cap: 20 (no first class change)
Max grade gear: top NG
Buffs: newbie guide, self buffs, pots and LE/DE re-rolled mystics
(the ones participating in the War)
Starting location: DE’s in the DE village. LE’s in the LE village
Battle field: the neutral zone

I like this... send a force over to TI on the ship lol.

Make one -

Sounds interesting - may have to give this a try too - might only be level 1 but should still be fun.
Please do, this is intended as a nice break from the normal grinding and politics. And maybe next time we can do it on another server like GreatnessElite suggested, kind of like a round robin for the servers.
guess i'll have to roll an LE Archer on guistin for this one :)
Dark Elf's beware, Light Elfs are becoming more numerous then previously thought.... :)
Looks like the sides are even at the moment, numericaly speaking that is. ;)
I myself have not voted in the poll as I am making one of each. I will make a final decision Thursday night and vote then. Untill then.. back to the mini me's.
Poor Mela is suffering from an identity crisis here. Made her a DE just for this and its rather frightening to watch her name above those curves.

But scary in a good right . ;)
ok, everyone 1 day to finish preperations
Too bad i'm not on that server (no i wont change again), this is a great idea, please let us know how it went ! :cool:

Just make one, you dont have to play on Gustin to participate. Doesnt matter what level you end up being either. I havnt had a chance to make mine yet due to shopping, so i'll be making it tonight and tomarrow right before it starts lol
Who said you had to be a resident of the server or stay on the server after the war. All you have to do is lvl up a DE or LE to lvl 20 with as good a gear as you can afford. Then we have our fun little war, and you can forget the toon exists.

Thats what I did.. though I made two toons to 19. (One DE and one LE). My mains are all on Lionna. As for gear, doing quests on both I earned enough to outfit one of them in top NG light, two top NG weapons (dagger and bow), and top NG jewels. Now I just have to make up my mind on what side to play on tommorow.. hehe.

Oh.. also.. do we have a POC established for each side? Eg.. who to PM on DE and who to PM on LE. This is for orginising forces ect..
Hmmm wonder why that wasn't thought of before hand. >.>

Don't know what to tell you on that one.
Well Faithkill is a BD.. so one might assume they are playing on the dark side? Eg.. they might be the DE POC. So we just need to establish someone for the LE side then if that is the case. I would vollenteer, but I will be arriving a few minutes late (eg.. shortly afer 9:00pm est, as thats 5:00pm here in Alaska and I am just getting off work).

Either way.. there should be a POC for each side to invite folks into a "temp clan" so we can make sure all the rules are followed (level, no class change, etc.). Also that way the two "mini me" clans should be warred so folks are not deleveling constantly or going red if the opponent is "afk" or not responding in a sutable time frame when one sneaks up and attacks from suprise. <laughs> After all, for those of us off server we realy don't care about our toons future. But some of those who do play gustin might. I met one while leveling who plans to participate, and also plans on that toon being there new main after it is all said and done.

I hope something is "orginised" by tonight. <chuckles> Otherwise it may end up being a free for all in the neutral zone. Also I will decide on what side to play on then as well, eg.. one last check on the poll. Currently (as of this post) it would be LE as they are falling behind. 12 LE to 15 DE.
It is just going to be a free for all, i dont know that anyone had any extra clans that we planned to use for this. As for who's going to be leading each camp, its not to big a deal. Just getting people into groups will allow you to see whether there getting only the buffs the should be, and making sure there 1st class change wasnt completed.

Edit - Theres going to be higher numbers then that. I know i can account for probably a whole party of clan mates who are going to join me on the LE's, and i doubt any of them has voted. We'll see how it all plays out.

exactly

you guys are right i will be playing a DE (only because i didn't have the time to make a LE). She is a lvl 18 mystic (wind strike ftw). if you want me a POC, but like Durgoth i don't realy see the need. my toons name is GreyHeart.
Well I was just putting those idea's down as suggestions... not requirements <chuckles> And no.. I have not voted either, but I will log on and check to see what we have now.
Don't bother. It was a gankfest. Clanned up, Academy geared, high lvl'd and class changed gankfest. When a lvl 12 DE gets hit for 1557 you just lay there dead on the ground and watch. This was supposed to be a bit of fun for lowbies. I'm sorry your event went badly. Think I'll just stick to my home server and not even consider joining in another proposed event again. I really expected more out of the L2 community than this. Though, as I re-read this, I realize I shouldnt have expected more. This is what happens when bored little children play. If I sound grumpy, ding ding ding, you win the prize! Although I do have to thank one DE for continually rezing people and one dwarf for killing reds(which, on a side note, was rather funny to read).

I didn't. Seeing some of the players in the game that is exactly what I expected.

I'm so sorry it didn't go as planned. I hope someone had fun!

+1 :mad:
I tried to give it a go, but it just went;
step 1. port in.
step 2. run a few steps.
step 3. get blasted for 5 times your total points.
step 4. repeat steps 1 to 4.

It got a bit repeditive after a while. :eek:

And why not? So you had a few [923's] spoil the fun. That doesn't mean something like this shouldn't be tried again.
C5 PTS anyone?

The L2 players just can't have any fun without said 932'r's spoiling it.
I'm taking my migraine back to bed now. Pain meds arent working, which is why I am on here at the ungodly hour of what ever time it is.
How about for the next event we hunt down these 932s. :)
i thought it would go better too, but that doesn't mean we can't try it on a differant server next time
Lineage 2 has quite a few bad apples. Hopefully we can figure a way around this. BTW, whoever did ruin it (I was not there), you all need to get a life. Who in the right mind would ruin it... This type of event was what I was waiting for, if only I could have played on weekdays.
kindly ask for a high-level clan on that server to act as an "event enforcer". i.e. killing reds that dont belong.
