calling for preparation for jumptown 2.1 and next xenothreat

[Lordgarrett99]

ATTENTION ALL EVENT STARVED TESTIES

Because of the recent announcement that CIG will be doing JT 2.1 and XT with the 3.18.2 or so update, I’m going to call as many TEST as possible to help plan, coordinate and execute the next events for these occasions.

All TEST members are encouraged to help and present ideas in this post, as well as participate once those events come live

I am also asking any event coordinator willing to create events for these once the dates are available, that would be great!

let’s get the group going again!

Roger that. Will be there.

 

[Lordgarrett99]

Roger that. Will be there.

Thank you kindly :)

as an added note I will be making briefings for both events on separate google docs, I have also reached out to a past event participant who had a great spreadsheet for JT before, if he gives me that sheet I’ll use it/provide it to anyone running JT pre-formatted in glorious TEST Fashion :)

 

[vahadar]

Errrr sure, will be around if life allows it. Though most people will be naked (after the wipe) for this event ;)

 

[Lordgarrett99]

JT Briefing is done, any opinions or suggestions are welcome :D

if you prefer a google slides verison here ya go: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ywgFc_42ZECvhEN5aee46kUIuVpGuu2x3J4-rTx3niI/edit?usp=sharing

i like the enthusiasm, volunteers like you will help make choosing a lead easier, when the first event comes ill put your name in the hat :D

I also wanted to point out something that may or may not be a problem for people:

Due to the wipe coming, some may think calling a op asap would be unfair to those who don’t have the nessisary pledges to do cool shit right of the bat, people will need to farm

If you all still think an op would be good even without an opportunity to farm, im down either way

 

[Lordgarrett99]

included this for safeties sake:

 

[BUTUZ]

I can't commit to a timetable but If I am around I can fight haul revive, support - or just make the tea. Good cuppa will solve most problem I've found!

 

[KuruptU4Fun]

I'd love to join, need the FPS practice!

 

[Lordgarrett99]

Going to be giving some work to the XT briefing soon and also I’ll be making a “basic event prep” guide with a checklist to help those out whom are confused with anything, hopefully the format for that can see future use if successful!

Nice work! That's a very clear and concise checklist.

As soon as either pops, I'ma just hop in Discord and be like: "Yo, who's running XT/JT? Shoot me a party invite!" And then I'll login to the PU and doo dat shit!

 

[Lordgarrett99]

Some conversation regarding strategy from fellow TESTies on discord :)

 

[Randson]

I'll be there assuming work allows! Should be able to fill any role needed assuming I can actually be home for it.

I was just thinking of this last week. Ive devised an Air Assault strategy for taking and occupying JT, focused ofc on low grav moon attack.

TEST has done outstanding on the numbers in these events which makes it both fun and an honor to play here.

But, last JT we met up with some highly organised groups and had a number of BATCOMMS, fleet manuevering and organisational issues that gave them air superiority for long periods of time. So, Im going to begin some recon and tactical practice runs when Im online. People can join me when Im online doing this. The more the merrier.

Plopping a hammerhead above JT for cover and going in ad hoc wont cut it when others are more organised or stealth attacking with Eclipses, especially with PES soft death allowing wreckage to fall all over the area of operations.

Id love to talk with ppl here in more detail about our ideas leading up to JT.

 

[Aramsolari]

When’s the next XT/JT anyway? Heard whispers that it’s coming back but I haven’t been keeping track.

FYI, according to Boredgamer,

"The Jumptown 2.1 event expands out the POI doubling them in size… making a huge amount of changes to the structures there and there "

If true, it's an important bit of info.
