Siege event for Lionsmane gear grind June 24th 2016 - 9pm EST (us)

One of the main pitfalls of PvP currently is that there are not enough teams available to play against for those of us who are geared out and that truly present a challenge for beast premades. This leads to PvP becoming an unbalanced mess that has made the experience boring for some, and very frustrating for others who want to compete but feel outgeared. It's not all about gear, but it will help some of you who really want to PvP stay alive a little longer. The skill part of it comes with time.
That being said, the main compliant I have heard from undergeared players is a lack of Lionsmane, and the frustration of trying to obtain it, mostly because Seige does not pop.
To remedy this since the developer of the game has yet to offer a solution was to organize a Seige event day with ample notice and participation that will allow those who need it to get their gear.
At first this was going to be just two guilds, Asylum and Paragon Gaming, but now word has gotten out, and there is interest from other guilds who have members that would also like to participate. We welcome this.
So on June 24th, 2016 at 9pm EST we will be running Siege all evening to help those who need their Lionsmane get thier gear.
We aren't looking to pug stomp. We are looking to help those who really want to work towards becoming competitive in PvP get their hands on Lionsmane.
Not only does this benefit everyone in the long run, but it will help extend the life of the game for many by hopefully creating the next beast premade who will give the handful that exist a run for thier money, because pug stomping is boring and doesn't take skill.
If you are interested in participating please respond ITT and let me know your gamertag, your class, and the toon name you need gear on.
If you're just looking to troll by coming in to discourage others from getting thier gear, be warned, you will be targeted and sent back to the campfire by those of us who are organizing this.
For those who are joining us be mindful of how many guildmarks and seals it takes to get two pieces of Lionsmane if you currently have none and start farming now for those.
If this is a successful event we will plan another, and maybe look at having a weekly weekend schedule in play to q for it.
As far as why that time frame was chosen, it was based off the majority availability of players, hence why we are also giving everyone a full week notice to prepare.

It all depends on family commitments nearer the time. I hope many people come along to this.

Absolutely not what we are looking to do.
This is to help out those who don't have any gear on their mains, or are missing pieces.
It will be very organized so everyone can get what they need.
As I said, anyone who comes rolling in trying to troll and just steam roll through people for cheap kills to try and discourage others from participating is going to be a target. They won't receive help from their teammates if they are flagged for doing so and there will absolutely be cross party chat between both teams to call them out, hunt them down and take them out.

I would love to join and get Lionsmane
Class ::OP
GT:: proudbowdy
Toon name:: steiner
Anyone regardless of who they are that pulls that and tries to ruin or discourge those who are participating will be targeted and dealt with. Save the trolling for IWD if that's what gets you hot in this game.
All of us who are geared started at zero. Those of us who have the gear and are organizing this are doing so to save the game and hopefully working towards a more balanced PvP that's not limited to a handful of teams. That will allow for better match ups during duo or solo quing, and open the door to being able to put together your own premade either in guild or outside it.
I am going to post a more detailed break down of how this will work and who tge team capatains are.
The basics however are simple.
Example:
Team A will call out in chat and party which nodes to get and be allowed to cap. Then Team B will cap those captured nodes. Team A will cap again, make catapults, and be allowed to win.
Next game Team B will be allowed to cap and win, and so on.
We just need to make sure each winning team members each have 300 points so everyone gets banners on the winning side.
To make the whole thing fun since this will be a grind, every other game we will have a designated area to allow 1v1s, and team battles, but off node points. This will be for those who want to try and earn extra points for additional banners.
I strongly advise picking up keys from the zen market place to open banner boxes.

I played all weekend 23 matches and 22 was premades, it's sad. U can't trust these uppity guilds with power. Like politicians they say one thing and do the opposite.

@opalsuns
Having played against you and countless others, here are a few truly great ideas for players and premades in your category. The term "you" is not necessarily directed at you specifically in many of these cases:
1) Solo queue. Its more challenging and will lead to a better overall experience for the entire Neverwinter PvP community. Besides, if you are really THAT good, it shouldn't be an issue. I see many awesome endgame GWFs solo queue and they refuse to even accept a queue group invite. Trent the Barbarian is one of them.
2) Discontinue the use of stamina and AP drains, especially Rank 2s. Sure, your guild "earned" them, but we're talking about a challenge here.
3) When people challenge you to a 1v1 while your team is leading 700-0, offer them a fair fight without teammates passively buffing you (Shield of Faith from OP), healing you, or throwing in a helpful Shocking Execution when the fight isn't going your way.
4) Do not interrupt mutually accepted 1v1s, even if your guildmate or friend is losing.
5) Do not begin a 1v1 or accept a 1v1 before jumping three times. Hitting somebody with an Ice Knife while they're talking to you about a 1v1 is not an honorable way to accept a challenge.
6) If you decide to run overpowered premades in dom (Gift of Faith + OP + two SE TRs), let the poor random PUG group get a cap or two. It wont be the end of the world or threaten your dominance in a video game loaded with gamebreaking PvP bugs and/or exploits.
7) Do not teabag randoms in dom after your group 1v4s them and they're finally killed by a Shocking Execution from the fifth group member.
8) Do not use (abuse) known exploits or bugs.
The reasons above contribute to the poor overall experience of Neverwinter PvP.
To make this easier
Paragon Gaming will be Team A
Asylum will be Team B
So if you end up on a team with anyone from our two guilds now you know which team is which for call outs during the matches.
When we start Team A will get the first win, and then we will switch back to allow Team B a win, and so on.
Once you join a team, and q, the q leaders will lock the q to make it easier so you can stay within the same q party during the duration of the event.
There will most likely be multiple teams running events since we expect to be well over the amount needed, which is great. The more the merrier.
Please also pay attention to the Zone chat while in game for the call out as to where your team of 5 should head to for the nodes to cap.
Feel free to spread the word to your own guild.
And don't forget to farm heading into Friday for your guild marks and seals for the gear!

While I will be joining this organized event, which I sincerely appreciate @opalsuns and others for organizing, know that it will contribute little to the overall challenge or balance in PvP.
Why? Because full Lionsmane isn't that much better than full Burning. The additional stats are great, sure, but the diminishing returns on tenacity result in negligible benefit. Also, full Lionsmane is meaningless against premades with rank 2 drains, immortal DCs, dunk brothers, or those using exploits.
Thanks for organizing @opalsuns and I look forward to attending.
I would like to attend to replace gear and farm gear for my alt. GWF LisBeth, gt is username.
My handle is Baratheon@xRaw Carnage. Message me when ready or I'll message you. Thanks for setting this up.
The other is more important, My Wife goes to Benidorm this weekend for 4 days so it will just be me and my son at home (partying hard lol)... He is only 9 and requires pretty much my full attention ha ha.
I am going to be very hit and miss all weekend with regards to NW I`m afraid @opalsuns
