Competition Arkadian Colony Defence – Oratan Marathon Attack!

IFN Intelligence: More Oratan forces detected!​

View attachment 9232

*****



The IFN are calling on Arkadia's loyal colonists, to assist in plugging the gaps in our defensive lines and bolster the IFN combat forces. Colonists of all levels are encouraged to attend. This attack is liable to be a heavy and sustained attack for an extended period of time, so people from different time-zones are encouraged to join and leave in at their convenience.


If you are able to lend support, please assemble at REPULSE FIREBASE (Coordinates 15015, 15047) or COURAGEOUS FIREBASE (Coordinates 15182, 25704).


The attacks are estimated to hit on Friday the 11th April 2014 @ 19:00 and expected to end on Sunday the 13th April 2014 @ 19:00



*****


Due to issues arising from previous engagements, we once again ask colonists to please NOT shoot from the walls or from under the entrance of the base, as this causes the Oratan to become UNREACHABLE and spoils the event for other participants. We kindly ask that all players actually advance into the field and engage the enemy forces.



*****


The Oratan are, once again, likely to be throwing all they have at these bases including the largest and strongest warriors they can muster. As with previous engagements, IFN Command will be deploying Commandos from Alpha Team to assist colonial fighters with paramedical duties.



Please arrive early and ensure all equipment is clean and in good repair, and you have adequate supplies of ammunition.

Im kinda new to these. when they say medics meaning we can hunt without armour and fap? Someone is gonna area heal all of us?

 

You can either hunt naked and be prepared to die a lot (the mobs do a lot of damage when you are hit), or wear enough armour to survive one blow and depend on the area effect humungous heal to bring you to full health before the next hit.

 

The big oratan still hit very hard so you will want some good armor. The healers have the uber official mindforce chips that heal something like 1500 hp over a large area, effectively making it like every one has a mod fapper behind them. Mobs still hurt but you dont have to worry about fapping up afterwards.

 

owh so its all high level mobs here? whats like the minimum lvl for killing the mob under 30 sec?

 

So its a shared loot event. There's lots of oratan of various types from lvl 10 to lvl 60ish. But most of us focus on the boss mobs which range from lvl 50 to >200; the devs control the spawn rate of the bosses. Some people are there with uberish weapons. Others are using opalo or equivalent. So there's no minium lvl but obviously your share of the loot from a kill is going to relatively tiny if ur dps is low compared to the other folks shooting that mob.

 

Titans often go down in under 30 sec. Don't expect to solo them tho

 

hehe this is gonna be fun =P. time to unleashed those uneco weapons =P

 

Kitten is lock and looooooad * click slap in ammos *

 

Ok, you bought me in for this weekend

 

Am tempted. Hope I can stay awake at the start, what with it being about 3 am. Otherwise will be a late start at the event for me.

 

And ofc im broke.. Well if i cant be there and shoot, i'll be there and watch.. Love those events..

 

Wasn't the highly annoying shooting-from-the-entrance problem (resulting in flying mobs etc) supposed to have been fixed by VU 14.6?

 

Is it possible to put a vehicle block at the entrance to sort that issue out?

 

You don't need to worry about that, just make sure you don't stand there and things will be fine unless some sneaky Oratan finds you alone

 

Well, as a MF:er - with seriously bad range - I *do* need to worry about it when the mobs are 100 meters up in the sky...

Plus it must've been one of the easiest things in the world to fix (multiple options...) so why hasn't it been fixed like we were told it was going to be?

 

ok let me be more clear then, it is fixed
