Wait, are you still upset that we didn't let you join the Hex website? Awwww, it's so cute!

Well, I guess we're a casual pvp guild. If you consider beating up on PUG teams and PVE guilds “competition” then have at it! The current system of ranked play does not define PVP talent. Now, shush. Let the adults talk.

Oh, hello. I didn't see you there. You gave me quite a fright. I know why you're here. You need something. You want more information. Simply, I have it. Come with me and I'll show you. I've been reading the forums lately, and I noticed a trend. Some of you think we -- the PVP community -- fall into two categories: the reg all-stars and the RP baddies. The reg all-stars are PVP tryhards who love to form premades to beat up on slow-walking, PVE erpers because they can't hack it on a real PVP server. While the RP baddies play to spite us all, wearing PVE gear, playing in first person mode and afking their way through wzs for easy commendations. You think this, don't you? Some of it may be true, but do you think it's better elsewhere? Do you believe that in some parallel dimension there exists the exact same fleet, with the exact same warzones, played by uber talented players in some utopic alternate PVP reality? You're the same person who believes the grass is always greener. Well, you're wrong. It doesn't exist. The grass may be greener, but it's trodden upon by pre-teen d-bags who refuse to mow the lawn while you slave away trimming the verge with scissors as they sit reclined in one of those cheap rainbow colored beach chairs, sipping on a tall glass of lemonade and wearing red, white and blue shutter shade sunglasses, staring up at the sun with a smug dopey grin that says "Grab that palm frond and start coolin' me down." I'll set you right. Let me put you in the know because you deserve it. The truth is is that we compete. And I'm not just talking about PVP guilds, I'm talking about the PVP community as a whole. Although we have a smaller pool of PVPers to pull from we still have high level players who can compete at the highest level of the game. Remember, TEH is a meta-server similar to all the remaining servers. Although our pool might be smaller, it's just as competitive. Many guilds left TEH because we wanted consistent 8v8 ranked matches. Most of us chose POT5, and as we started to queue we had pops every night against many different teams. Hex would queue against I AM LEGEND, Ubique, Clutch, Casual, LD50, Infinite Darkness, Casual, Watchman, GG, random guilds, and PUG teams. And ya know what? We did well... really well. When I say "we" I am referring to Hex, GG, Watchman, etc. *All of us who left represented this server, and we started to carve out a name for ourselves. Obviously teams like Casual, LD50, and Infinite Darkness were very tough teams. But we tied LD50 in Hballs (we lost in possession) and we tied Casual in Voidstar (lost in kills). For the most part, we found that the difference at that level of PVP ultimately came down to time played together. It was about focus, coordination, tricks and map strategy. Many of us returned to TEH because 8v8 ranked was removed. We were saddened, and many of us left the game for a while because of it, while the rest returned to this community because it is ultimately a better one. I don't write this to brag. On the contrary, I write this because we need to give ourselves more credit as PVPers. Bad players exist on every server, and I would say that, as there is a higher concentration of talented players on the POT5, there is also a higher concentration of bad players. In fact, their "leet" players are actually terribads at unranked. They don't give a $;$& about objectives because they only play unranked to derp around. Some of the worst matches I played on POT5 were games that I played with a four man Casual premade. To them, unranked is a joke. They are convinced that you can only prove yourself or your guild in ranked matches. TEH is the opposite. Because ranked doesn't exist, the only way to prove yourself and your guild is through regular warzones. Why am I revealing to you that the alternate reality of your dreams is actually a $:!& filled suburb in New Jersey? Because I'm convinced that we have one the strongest PVP communities in the game. POT5, Bastion, ToFN are not filled with uber PVP ers; in fact, the PVP may be worse. We have some of the best players in the world who compete favorably on all servers. Mettan made a great post recently. He said that he put his ego aside and learned from other talented players. All of the "leet" players on this server have done the same. We've all learned game mechanics, the flow of each map, how to push buttons faster and improve rotation, hotkey and play in premades with people who are better than us. Everyone can do this. Everyone can make a premade. Everyone can ask more experienced players for help. Everyone can bind their keys and guard nodes correctly. Despite popular belief, I think this game has some of the greatest disparities between good and bad players, but the gap is easily closed through the right efforts and mindset. TL;DR - TEH is a great community, and Hex is glad to be back. It is filled with talented mature players who give a crap. Stop complaining about what you think exists elsewhere, and learn to enjoy what you have.

1). Asami is right. Arkillon wrong, and he sounds a bit like a bag-o-tools. Easy. Done. Also, the 1v1 is 100% irrelevant. I think Arkillon is looking for epeen enlargement. 2). I agree with this. However, assuming the premade has at least one stealther, a decent PUG stealther should guard the off node because the premade will be able to better coordinate focus fire, peels, tanking, and off node pressure. If there is not a PUG stealther, the premade stealther should guard off node objective. Forever Your Darth, Baarf

Hey folks, Sorry this hasn't been updated. I'm over on POT5 now, so I will need someone to take over the records thread. Let me know if you're interested. Forever Your Darth, Baarf

1. Tagnan 2. Hex 3. Assassin 4. CW 5. 10 Solo kills 6. http://www.tehhex.com/gallery/m/6303489/detail/132293#pid=1296955

Perhaps. If we assume that Peyton played in the whole game and Bioware dropped the 1 making his total 1,531,279, then he would have scored 2,916.7 DPS. Maybe it bugged and it forgot to add a two, or a three, or a four... If he had scored the DPS in a 525 second game with the DPS in the screenie, his total DMG would have been 1,964, 235. Bottom line, the numbers just don't add up. Is GG trying to troll the records thread now? Don't worry Diz, they'll teach algebra next year . Honest posts only. Trying to keep this a troll free zone. Thanks.

Haha, did you actually play the whole game? Just curious because I've never seen anything like that before.

Thanks for the post. I've decided not to include this in the records for one of two possible reasons: 1. It is a miscalculation. Since there was clearly a full first round as noted by the score, there would have been a total of 525 seconds. If you calculate the DPS using the total damage, it only should have come out to 1011.96. 2. He came in late to the game. If this were the case, he would have only played 142 seconds, or 2:22 minutes. That's only about 25% of the whole game. It isn't fair to compare full games to one in which the player only plays a quarter of it. Still a good number to have in the screenie folder!

Most of <Hex> will be transferring to POT5. Some of our alts and members will remain, Thanks for the memories.

Please bring your OMGQQHAX!! complaints somewhere else. There are about 5000 other threads in these forums to complain in. For the record, this looks like a pretty clear case of someone being pushed onto the ball spawn and being instant killed. It's also a pretty clear case of someone not knowing the nuances of this game and blaming others for their lack of understanding... please please please, do your part in making this thread a no-QQ zone. Thank you.

Thanks for submitting this. Would you mind editing your post so that it is formatted correctly? There is a template right at the top of the first page. We've got high standards here on the Ebon Hawk! Thanks.

Sindol, In a galaxy far, far away, I would tell you that I specifically came up with this idea to keep your uberleet skills on this server, but sadly this is for everyone else on the server who wants to have fun playing with a controlled group of players. Thanks for the sentiments. Forever you Lord, Baarf

Hey folks, I think we can do this. Does anyone here play any pick-up sports? I think we need to think of ranked right now as a structured pick-up game. This means fair teams as best as possible. Now, I don't mean kickball because I know we primarily want to play with our guilds/friends. However, there are a bunch of teams and players out there who could fill in, flesh out, and merge to make teams. One of the major issues with ranked is not the losing; it's playing the same team over and over and over again. If we can all commit to one night a week for ranked games I believe we could have 8-12 teams running at once, but we need to be fair and careful when composing our teams. Here is a list of some teams that I thought of: 1. Azure Blades (full) 2. Republic (full) 3. Incon/Team One (half, maybe full?) 4. The Core (half) 5. Guerrilla (full) 6. Empire (half) 7. Hex (half) 8. Dark Empire (full?) 9. The Watchmen (full x2?) 10. SC (full x2) 11. Project Mayhem (full?) 12. El Kamino (half) It isn't realistic to have all these teams queue, but if we mix and match as best we can while adding a few more solid PUGS (e.g. Ulliam) we could have a vibrant ranked scene. This may need more structure an planning, but I honestly believe we have the most mature player-base in the game right now, and we could have the most vibrant ranked play as well. If we need a guild leader summit, Jerc would be happy to have you guys in his ship... TL;DR - Let's get some $&?!ing ranked going!! P.s. Constructive feedback only. Please don't act like a tool. P.p.s Sorry if I missed some guilds, I don't go pub side... Too many hippies. Your Favorite Darth, Baarf

I don't read this the same way. It sounds like immaturity rather than competitiveness. Go to their records thread and check out the screenshots. I guarantee you will see more **** talking than on most other servers. Also, if I can quit a wz because I'm a baddie, do you mind if I /stuck, too? Forever your Darth, Baarf

Hi everyone, I know some of you that have posted here are already aware of this, but I wanted to let everyone know that there is a world wide, class-specific records list that is being maintained on the PvP forums. So far, we have had a pretty strong showing with many of our players making that list. Some of these records were curated by the guy who maintains that list, but he has said recently that from now on, it will be up to us, the record posters, to actively post our records there if we have the numbers. So, if you have a record that you think is exceptional, I urge you to post it there and keep up the fantastic showing that our little PvP server has had so far! Also, since that list is class-specific, if you don't make our server's overall list, you may make that one for your class. I am going to make a link at the top of our list here so that people can find it easily. Thanks and keep the numbers comin'.

1. Baarf 2. Hex 3. Sorcerer 4. Novare 5. 1842.41 DPS and 1536566 overall dmg 6. http://www.tehhex.com/profile/2724730/pics/detail/album_id/279725#pid=1690898

Guys, you should be posting these records on the PvP forum page. I think this was just a copy to show us what it will look like. I will not be maintaining this.

Thanks Totherkins for setting this up. I think you'll see that The Ebon Hawk has already posted some really competitive numbers that will compete with the other servers. Let me know if you need any help interfacing our records to your thread.

Hi everyone. I have spent some time thinking about how to deal with the changes to bolster that were put in effect today, and I've decided to leave the records that are on the board intact. They will be denoted with a *** so they can be distinguished from new records to come. Naturally, a change to the game that involves drastically changing gear stats will affect the numbers that we see, but I am confident that as we all gear up, we will see these numbers fall off the board. In the future I ask that players refrain from posting screenshots that were taken pre-2.0.0b (April 16, 2013). Thanks to everyone who has posted screenshots so far and helped to make this thread a fun challenge for the PvPers on our server. P.S. Where are you DPSers?? I know you aren't a shy bunch. Let's get some screenies up on that board!

There we go, some records that qualify. I knew you guys would get it eventually hehe. Grats for being the first ones on the board!

ATTENTION! Thanks to everyone who has contributed screenshots over the months. With the new expansion now live (for some of us), I will now be retiring this thread. Please refer to the new 2.0 records thread for new records. Thank you!

Welcome to The Ebon Hawk's new PvP Server Records thread for 2.0! Below is a list of the biggest, baddest PvPers on the server. Do you have what it takes to make it to the top? If so, post your screen shot along with the following information: 1. Name 2. Guild 3. Class 4. Map 5. Stat 6. Screenshot Also, here are some guidelines for new posts: 1. Only post screenshots of yourself, unless you have permission from the record holder to post it. 2. Do not post screenshots of pre 2.0 games (before April 9, 2013). 3. Do not post screenshots of pre-55 level games. This is to keep all records on the same ground so that they are comparable. 4. Screenshots taken before the bolster fix in patch 2.0.0b (April 16, 2013) will not be accepted. Pre-2.0 Records Here World Wide Class Records Here Legend * = Denotes a tie. *** = Denotes a record that was added pre-2.0.0b.
