Are you a big fan of making new toons? Have a low level toon that you haven't played in a while, but don't want to delete? Tired of your incompetent boffs? Or do you just like some company whilst playing all those missions again?
Well, wait no more! Each Saturday we will be doing a weekly levelling event!
Join up and get a participation prize every month!
When will we level which faction and where will we meet up?To make it easy to remember, but still have some diversity, we will level each faction on the same day each month. If there is another fleet event going on at that time, we will most likely cancel that week's leveling event.
Federation: First and Third (and fifth) Saturday of the month on Vulcan, near Spock's monument.
Klingon Defence Force: Second Saturday of the month on Qo'nos, near Worf.
Romulan Republic: Fourth Saturday of the month on New Romulus Command, on the balcony.
The times for each week will stay the same, which can be found in your timezone
here.
This will of course change if it so happens we will get another playable faction.
We will also meet up on Teamspeak! You're not required to come on here, but it does make discussing stuff easier. Even if we don't talk about the game or the missions, we can still have a lot of fun on there!
You also don't need to have a microphone to be on there. You can answer to what we're saying by using teamchat ingame. We do recommend that you use TS though, since it makes communication a lot easier, even if you don't have a mic.
I will also have my DJ playing, but those that don't feel like my music can mute him.
If you don't have Teamspeak installed or set up, you can look
here for info on how to set it up.
What are we going to do and how are we going to do it?Once everyone has teamed, the lowest level toon will be made squad leader and everyone else will match levels with them. That way no one is underpowered and everyone has fun.
After that we start with the mission which the lowest level toon has queued up. This way we are sure we play missions everyone is able to play.
During the missions we will also try to do all the career objectives and get all the accolades.
Prerequisites?Almost none. Everyone who wants to join will be welcome, no matter what level you are. That means level 50+ toons are also welcome, even though this event is mainly meant for lower level toons. Are there more people than that fit in a team? No problem, we just make another team.
The only prerequisite is for the Romulan faction. Because of how the Romulan faction has been set up, we can only team with Romulans in the same allied faction. The Romulans that have not chosen an alliance yet cannot team with those that have. This happens at the end of the first story-arc (usually around level 10). That means for Romulan leveling, that you need to have completed that arc already.
However, if it so happens we have multiple players that are not that far yet, we may be able to make a team of un-allied Romulans. I can make no promises about this though.
RulesFor smoother teamwork (and general respect towards your teammates) I have decided on some rules for those joining the event. These rules will also be explained at the start of the event each week.
1)
Keep an eye on teamchat. A variety of stuff may be said about the mission that may require your response. Also, set the channel you're speaking in to "Team" to avoid misstypes in other channels. If you have the tendency to often misstype to the wrong channel, setting up a separate chat-tab for teamchat is also a possibility. If you are unsure on how to do these things, feel free to ask.
2)
Stick together. If the objectives for each mission doesn't entirely sync for everyone, discuss who is furthest and work towards that point.
If someone is AFK, wait until they are back (and keep their toon from getting killed). If someone gets disconnected, wait a couple of minutes (three minutes is reasonable) before deciding they're not coming back and continuing.
If you notice the rest of the team is moving ahead of you, say something so that the rest of the team knows what's going on.
Yes, this might mean that you have to wait for several minutes sometimes, but that happens when you're in a team. ;)
If we all follow this basic team etiquette, players both new and experienced can work together in the spirit of cooperation and the event will stay fun for everyone involved :)
Hope to see you all next Saturday and don't forget to regularly check this thread for any changes!
