Well, yes, the event was great. I won't lie, it allowed us to learn a lot about PvP, which is what we planned to do in August. We had to pull some strings to get the EOS tag transferred to the Maquis side, and we got the password to use it. And the right to use it, too. To put it mildly, this tag means something more to a number of people whose names I am not at liberty to disclose.
Now for the acknowledgments.
First, I would like to thank the Royalists. You gave us real practice, from which we drew conclusions. Although there is still a long way to go, you can be sure that the EOS will strike back. The Spartans themselves would envy the fortitude of those who took part on the side of this ancient tag (yes, @Chxlls , I didn't forget about your message in Kudos thread).
Secondly, people is sending you rays of immense warmth, @Jeuge . The fact that you remember the EOS after so much years commands respect among the veterans of this faction. You are a true old Gallic player who has seen a lot. May it continue to be so.
Of course, special thanks go to @Chronicron and @Barrier . You came up with a good event, organized it perfectly, and monitored it excellently. The PvE rewards motivated even me, someone who doesn't like PvE, to participate in simple "killing NPCs" gameplay. Kills in PvP felt like something valuable, not just another blue message. This is just another proof that with the right approach, any event will be interesting to everyone, not just a narrow circle of people.
We will be returning to Gallia soon, looking for more PvP. Everything will be random and unpredictable.
Isn't that the beauty of Discovery?
Discovery is a server of dreams. And I'm a big dreamer.
Please reply here or pm @Barrier if the total among all of your characters makes you eligible for the codename or a commodity reward. Players from the same faction may pool points together to get a better reward.
MdG/-Chevalier here, I'd like to claim 4x THUNDERWAVES to be put on "MdG/-Chevalier"(4x8 =32) and Blood Orange Contrails on XA-Scarlet (the remaining 12 kills) thank you.
I'd like to redeem the 700 NPC kills into a set of Blue Yonder contrails for Lazurith. (Falchion) (please don't ask why i used twelve billion ships for one event)
Ineluctable, 16 (actually MdG/-VCF-Tourbillon prior to a rename)
MdG/-Sapeur, 10
MdG/-Aurore.I, 8
Total: 482
Please redeem my NPC kills for 100 Avionics Systems, deliverable to MdG/-VL-Bienfaisance-1 (a faction bank).
See also this Royalist message dump post of what one of my characters did during the event (i.e. an explanation for all the milsal I picked up that isn't "lol I killed 400 of your rookies") and judge whether it merits a custom user title.
