Well firstly it is with great anticipation that a majority and myself of Dalborra look forward to joining our 3 community’s into one. I wanted to create this thread to learn about those coming to join us upon Dalborra and discuss any questions between our communities. As our server merge still comes with no ETA, I take this time to read over the forums of both Gav Daragon and Master Dar'Nala in order to learn of those we will soon come to share a server with; I suggest you read over our forums to learn about our server. We have run a lot of events on Dalborra, as have all our servers and also worked to encourage a strong and vibrant community which has been the strongest point I believe to keeping the Dalborra server with high population. While the forums might be covered lightly in trolls and those who find enjoyment in bringing things down to their level the majority remain silent on the forums and work within game to encourage the strong community and participate in the events. As a predominate PvP’er I would also like to encourage those who choose to stay Imperial to look up our Guild being Seraphic Nexus as a possible new home or for those importing their Guild I really look forward too if not die slowly for the day the imperial faction will receive reinforcement of competent PvPers as our FTP population has just hit 50 the Factions have found a decent imbalance at present time.

2nd post UPDATED grats to Daffydil and Sinc and also Veronika and Whisps the 4 winners of their AC's today also note the Grand Tournament will not be on next weekend but the following weekend to accommodate those celebrating Chinese New Year. Kind thanks to those for participating and those supporting.

Yeh sorry Luke was a bit early for me when I rushed that idea out will go with no change to last two AC duels. Grand Tournament delayed for a week due to Chinese New Year please pass this message on I will spam fleet when I get a chance.

For us at SnX we will no longer group or queue for ranked warzones on these nights, rather if a Guild wishes to field a team against us give us minimum 3 days’ notice and we will have some games with prior notice and preparation as at the moment ranked never happens or when a Guild has a team we don't.

Would it be ok with our Sorcerers/Sages and Mercenary/Commandos if you Duelled Saturday 4pm AEST then the Grand Tournament would be Sunday 4pm AEST?? If that’s ok with this weekend’s Duellist’s will make the change to accommodate those celebrating Chinese New Year. Also I understand you want the name of all who competed added to the 2nd post like the other AC’s have I will get the list of Woofy and update it later today.

Congratulations to those winners now updated into the 2nd post, I apologize I wasn't there today but I got called into work for a 24hour period. Woofi was very capable of running the event in my absence. 2 more AC's to go next Sunday then the Grand Tournament the following Sunday looking forward to the completion of the Tournament. Lets try to restrain ourselves from taking this forum off subject.

Ranked warzones have been increasingly difficult to organize, getting 8 people online at the same time can be challenging but more challenging is having the right class balance and healers for ranked. Meeting these few requirements is difficult but when the stars align on the rare occasion it does happen you’re still far from a ranked game as you then need to contact the 1-3 other Guilds that do ranked and hope that their team is in the same situation as yourself. Where they have the team they are happy to compete with. We have exhausted many options to get ranked going, hoping that Wednesdays and Fridays would kick off as the two days a week to form and queue but the time waiting for a ranked game can be frustrating that members of the teams would rather just queue normal have their fun then call it a night. I have decided to not waste my efforts on chasing ranked games but instead just wait for the server mergers to happen when and if they happen. With a larger population on our server people’s morale and interest in ranked will resume and hopefully ranked nights can be formed and enjoyed. Sorry for the novel but I like to explain the situation to its extent, also at SnX we are planning a ranked PvP Tournament after the Duelling Tournament and after the 2v2 Tournament both events we hope will provide entertainment for all, while we bide our time to server merges.

Hey mate, I am the GM of Seraphic Nexus the largest PvP Guild imperial side, if you are looking for a Guild you'll see at the top of the Dalborra Forums there is a green link to a sub-forum listing Guild recruitment of Dalborra most Guild have there recruitment details listed there. Hope this helps and if you decide to play imperial hit me up for a trial period good luck with your endeavors.

Khonan just finished uploading his footage from the first Dueling Tournament while he missed the first 3 fights he managed to capture the rest and Woofie will upload the Republic version soon.

The best option that will grow on people over time is merging all 3 into a PvE-RP server, Merging the 2 populations into Dalborra will be the best thing for them and will be recognised over time, moving to a US server is just ridiculous you can imagine it now but once your competing in either ranked or PvE world firsts, the latency will become such a frequent problem. Dalborra has had a strong population while the other two declined over time. Pops have been frequent at all times for both PvE and PvP. A community atmosphere has developed over time and we are now at a good point, everyone knows everyone and organized events have helped bring entertainment and community atmosphere to the server. Problems you’re going to find with this merge is the things you like being RP and world PvP will simply not happen unless you make it happen. People on Dalborra will not be as accommodating as you might like while there are people who will go out of their way to share our home with you there are those who will find joy in dragging down what you enjoy, just prepare yourself for putting up with people whom have poor attitudes. I hope you can come to enjoy Dalborra as much as we will enjoy it once you’re here.

4pm AEST every Sunday (which is not AEDT-Daylight saving time) For imperials send the 20k entrance fee to Saedus. For Republicans send it to Lhr. Please add in the in-game message what class Tournament you're entering.

Entering the Tournament on 2 accounts is not acceptable and will result in a ban from this Tournament and any future Tournaments we organize, don't go ruining something that we have poured time, effort and funds into. We aimed to bring the server together and create something enjoyable and entertaining.

Post 2nd from the top edited 13/01/2013 7:30pm AEST

Firstly let me apologize Vindrik my intention was to have 1-2 ranked teams ready to go come 7:30pm, which during our Guild meeting at 5:30pm was looking very positive but after the meeting our members dropped off rapidly with plans and rl priorities and such. Leaving us unable to field a team, I hope with more prior notice we will get a better turn out sorry again if we upset you at all.

Friday 11 January 7:00pm AEST Ranked starts. SnX will try to field teams.

Thanks to all those who have signed up and please inform others with the intention of competing on how to find this thread. Thank you all see you sunday!

Ranked Warzone nights are Wednesday and Friday as they were a while ago but think we have grown a bit slack since then. Hoping we can get back into good turn outs from a majority of Guilds for these nights nothing competitive just fun and learning environments take the wins and the losses with a grain of salt.

I know christmas is over but Bioware has a bad track record for delivering on time so here's my wishlist a bit late. Make datacrons legacy bound. Bring out Paid transfers. Priority, Oceanic servers need them soon or there done. Bring out paid sex changes and name changes. Get rid of grenades from warzones Fix /stuck so people stop using it as a exploit in voidstar, civil war and huttball. Bring out Dual spec if its not in the expansion start digging a grave now. That is all make it happen bioware please!

First off thank you kindly to all those who competed, spectated and organized the AC Duels thus far. It went as good as it could of and it showed us how much support there was for the event. The Winners of the following AC Tournaments were as follows: Powertech/Vanguard: Competed: Ulac – Woofi – Carthy – Cilros – Vortold. 1st place Woofi - Seraphic Nexus 2nd place Carthy - RtS Operative/Scoundrel: Competed: Etched – Sinfonia – Heala – Aashaera – Atton – Beunos – Pedigree. 1st place Pedigree - Notorius Synergy 2nd place Atton - Samurai Pizza Cats Juggernaut/Guardian: Competed: Myson, Keiga, Andynul, Tough’mudder, Lucas. 1st place Myson - Prophets of Agony 2nd place Keiga - A little bit Gimp Assassin/Shadow: Competed: Gibbin, Saedus, Nuisance, Silent, Selianne, Xarxes, Shiro, Livette’decora, Mooks, Remus. 1st Nuisance - Prophets of Agony 2nd Shiro - Mind Walkers Marauders / Sentinels Competed: Coming soon. 1st - Angelol - A little bit gimp 2nd - Seraphielz - An Ewok ate my baby Snipers / Gunslingers Competed: Coming soon. 1st - Zevren - The Immortals 2nd - Cathleen - Notorious Synergy Mercenary/Commando Competed: Daffydil, Darkclaw, Sinc, Khadijah. 1st Sinc - Rts 2nd Daffydil - Rts Sorceror/Sage Competed: Whisps, Veronika, Downfall, Illidous, Zanishiri, Aethya. 1st Veronika - Seraphic Nexus 2nd Whisps - Seraphic Nexus Grand Tournament: Competed:Woofi, Carthy, Pedigree, Nuisance, Shiro, Angelol, Seraphielz, Zevren, Cathleen, Sinc, Daffydil, Veronika, Whisps.

The competition will be 8 competitions, 1 between each advanced class, with the top two of each AC going into the grand tournament at the end. The grand tournament at the end would then feature 16 of the best pvpers on the server with all classes represented. There are a number of reason I like this format which are: - It allows each AC to fight in their own competition and have bragging rights to being the best assassin/shadow or sniper/gunslinger. - It allows each AC to have a competition of people with similar abilities without being smashed by other classes which they are not suited to fighting against. - It is hoped that this will encourage people of all AC’s to compete and not just those dominant at duelling (Marauders, Ops etc.). - The Grand Tournament will only feature the best of each AC and should be a spectacle to watch. So on to the details. Advanced class rounds: An entrance fee of 20k. Must be paid 30 Minutes prior to the event starting. Prizes – 1st gets 200k from SnX and a spot in the grand tournament. 2nd 150k from SnX and a spot in the grand tournament. Competitors can only enter if they intend to also compete in the grand tournament should they make it. As many competitors that wish to compete are welcome but only the top two go through to the grand tournament. Registrations are needed now with a post saying you are coming and on what toon? The format will be double elimination following a sheet from http://www.printyourbrackets.com and each competitor must do a /roll to determine where they start on the table. If two rolls are equal those two players roll again to determine who rolled higher. The standard rules that I will mention later will apply. Grand Tournament details: Once the competitions for each AC are completed we can move onto the grand tournament. No entrance fee. Prizes – 1st gets 1mil from SnX. 2nd gets 500k from SnX. This will follow the format of 16 people double elimination using a sheet from the website mentioned above. Competitors will do a roll as done in the previous round to see where they start. If a winner from an AC competition is unable to make the final it is up to SnX’s discretion as to who to put in the tournament in their place but it must be someone of the same AC. Timing would be over a number of weeks, 2 AC’s every Sunday and then the final competition in the week after. I also think that the last competition suffered from a lack of people knowing about it. Therefore I recommend an extensive 2 week advertising campaign before the contest starts. Perhaps a way to do the timing may be as follows: Week 1 - Significant advertising – starting now. Week 2 - Sunday Operatives/Scoundrels & Powertechs/Vanguards 13th January Week 3 - Sunday Juggernauts/Guardians & Assassins/Shadows 20th January Week 4 - Sunday Snipers/Gunslingers & Marauders/Sentinels 27th January Week 5 - Sunday Sorcerors/Sages & Mercenarys/Commandos 3rd February Week 6 – Sunday Grand Tournament end Duelling Tournament Advertising: “Dalborra Duelling Tournament starts Sunday 13th of Jan see server forums for details” Put this in general & pvp chat every now and again. Post this in warzones daily. ***** Referees - There will be 2 referee's present at the Duelling Tournament one representing each faction. They will monitor the Duel for any breach of the rules and administer any penalties. They will also help to inform all present at the Tournament what is going on, who is requested to begin there Duel and release ruling's on breaches of the rules and losses of Duel's. Note- stealthers will be grouped with the referees to ensure rules are complied with. The Duelling Tournament will now be held at Nar shaddaa follow the link below for a series of screenshots showing where: http://seraphic-nexus.enjin.com/gallery/m/5709721/album/108039 Also note to help the referee's members of SnX will help with announcements and the running of the event. Rules: - Stims are allowed. - All specs are allowed. Specs can be changed at free will. - No Medpacks (results in loss of current duel). - No Adrenals (results in loss of current duel). - No Companions (results in loss of current duel). - No Grenades (results in loss of current duel). - In the case of any Duel the bout can go no longer than 5 minutes at the end of the time limit the winner will be decided by a /roll. - A competitor must be ready to start their duel within three minutes of being called to the arena. (Not abiding by this will result in the loss of the current duel. After which the referee's will announce that you lost the fight and may call your second/third bout which would have its own three minute timer). - You can only enter the Tournament on 1 class, choose wisely. - There will be no restrictions on Gear. Spectators are both allowed and encouraged this isn’t a behind the scenes score settler of “I’m better then you” but an event for the server to get behind and enjoy. Now I really need anyone competing to please list their name in a comment in the following format: Saedus-Assassin competing.

Sorry mate nearly forgot about that the Dueling area is on Nar shaddaa follow the link below which has 4 images to show you the exact location. Yes spectators are allowed ofcourse. Nar Shaddaa Dueling area

Each weekend. Now I really need your feedback on whether you can make your AC Duel on that date and time. If you cannot its imperative you let me know, we will change the dates to suit you and the other members of your AC. Please have patience and flexibility with the organization of this Tournament and hopefully it will come out excellent.

At the moment the Republic side seems to be fairing better with more dedicated PvPers and 2-4 PvP/hybrid Guilds. Imperial's have 1 PvP Guild and 1 hybrid PvP Guild, Warzones are pretty regular from 12pm - 1am AEST out of those hours its just seasonal luck. I hope this answers your question

Stims are allowed and any class or spec is also allowed just note theres a 5minute timer on each Duel.

UPDATE First AC Duels will begin in late january with the Tournament being completed by mid-late February.
