I would like to invite you to San Francisco Apocalypse - event telling the story of pirate raid on San Francisco
AD 2238. The pirates attacking the city is the frightful Glowing Pete's Crew - a group of super mutants and
ghouls operating on the shores of the Pacific Ocean - murdering, pillaging and kidnapping. Here they are:
(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3880395/uff3.png)
As you can see there are two ships at the disposal of the crew. Good ships, but unfortunately they are
too small to carry large quantity of goods. This made the attack on San Francisco problematic - even if the
crew managed to plunder the town, they wouldn't be able to escape with all the loot using their small ships.
However, one night a brilliant plan emerged in the head of Glowing Pete - there is a large, old tanker moored
at the docks of San Francisco. The pirates could use it to escape with all the loot they can imagine. A spy
sent to San Francisco discovered that the tanker isn't operational. Fortunately all things needed to fix that
are in the city already - Fuel stored in a warehouse in the western side of San Francisco and Computer Parts
from the outpost of Brotherhood of Steel. Glowing Pete quickly sketched a very detailed plan:
(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3880395/uff1.png) (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3880395/uff2.png)
Event Details
There will be 2 sides - Glowing Pete's Crew AKA the pirates and the San Francisco defenders.
Players can choose any side but there is a limit for pirates.
Players can't join the pirates with their own characters. There will be special new accounts prepared,
the logins and passwords will be revealed during event start. There will be no rules of acquiring the
accounts - whoever takes it first can play with it. Idling on the accounts isn't allowed, people who
won't do anything will be disconnected from the accounts during the event. Offline characters can
be taken by anyone again.
All the objectives of the pirates are shown on the map. For minimal victory the pirates have to take
control of the tanker and move fuel and computer parts there. It means the crew escaped with the
tanker but without the most important loot - caps from the bank. For standard victory they also have
to grab containers of caps from the bank and move it to tanker. For decisive victory they have to
additionally kidnap the General Secretary from the Shi Palace for ransom.
Pirates will be able to capture additional spawn points in the tanker, San Francisco and Shi Palace,
but only capturing the tanker is required for the victory.
Pirates won't have outfitters - instead they won't be lootable and respawn with items they carry.
They will have much higher carry weight than normal characters. In practice it means capturing
Fuel, Computer Parts and Caps will be possible by simply picking them by any of the pirate.
These items will be too heavy for normal players, so they can be only defended not moved.
Glowing Pete has one life - killing him in the case of victory of pirates will mean it's a pyrrhic victory
- if he is dead the pirates will turn against each other soon after the battle and the crew will disperse.
San Francisco defenders are normal player characters which will be taken to the event. For San Francisco
defenders there is one objective - prevent the pirates from achieving the victory with optional killing the
Glowing Pete for decisive victory of the defenders.
The event will be on the next Friday, so if you have some comments/questions feel free to post.
Here is more detailed view on objectives of Pirates:

(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3880395/obj3.jpg)
(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3880395/obj4.jpg)
As you can see there is more than one instance of each objective.
There more you get to tanker the better (for pirates). You should get more than half.
Each pirate will be able to carry only one box at a time.
-
Hopefully Pete wont have a ridiculous amount of hp or resistance.... Will he? lol
-
this one of those events where i need a badass lvl 20 char?
or can i just sneak around and loot, and hope i dont get blown to #@$@$@$@

Actually you don't need to have any character if you manage to get into one of the pirate accounts.
But if not, then there won't be too much to do if you won't have a character capable to fight.
Maybe if you have a doctor.
There will be no point "looting" because you won't keep any of the items from the event.
-
ehm will pete have tons of hp?
-
This looks awesome! I just started playing again cca. two weeks ago after a long break, especially cuz I've been hoping/expecting some nice special events around the 21.12., nice to see I've been right. I'd really love to participate in this one, preferably on the Glowing Pete's Pirates side!
now for my on topic question - Does this mean, that if the pirates win this event, the tanker will permanently disappear from SF? :P
-
ehm will pete have tons of hp?
He will have more than a standard player characters, but not "tons".
Does this mean, that if the pirates win this event, the tanker will permanently disappear from SF? :P
I thought about it but, sadly majority of 2238 players goes apeshit when anything
changes in their daily routines. So no.
-
if anything goes smoothly this gona be one of the best events.nice thought jov ;D
-
gl & hf
-
can you give us the builds pirates will use?
-
can you give us the builds pirates will use?
Maybe later. For now I can only say it will be only super mutants and ghouls and they will have
enough stats to fight with any weapons usable for the skins and compete with PvP builds. They
will have boosted walking speed a bit, so they won't be as slow as normal mutants/ghouls.
-
boost damage resistance too, I would like to be Pirate harhar.
-
Two more questions...
1) Is the pirate crew in first posted screenshot complete, or are there some other guys hiding in the tent? Also what about the navigators, PC or NPC? Do they participate in fight, or do they just stand there?
2) About the General Secretary kidnapping (opt. goal)... how will that work? I mean - I suppose someone from the pirate crew has to talk to him and drag him to the tanker, that much seems clear, but what if he dies in the process (or even before)? Who's loss is that, the pirates' or SF defenders'? Will there be some direct reward/punishment? Could the secretary possibly distribute free gear for the SF defenders or something like that?
-

It's mostly critters to make the picture and NPC guards.
There will be around 30 accounts to take, they will start on the island and look similar to those on the picture.
The navigators will be teleporting the Crew to the Landing Sites on the SF shores.

Not sure yet, either someone (GM or trusted player) will roleplay the General Secretary
and follow super mutants when "kidnapped" or it will be just an item with human skin which
will be lootable like the Fuel, Computer Parts and Caps.
-
Can't the defenders just use their own alts? Seems a lot more practical since their only objective is to defend SF.
-
Looks awesome.Hopefully there will be Vindicators and more yummy weapons like this for the defenders ;D

If the Secretary will be a real person it would be more fun :)
-
Defenders will have standard outfitters, but maybe there will be some armory with more advanced weapons.

Defenders WILL use their own alts. Only the pirate crew will be on chars premade for the event.
If the Secretary will be a real person it would be more fun
I agree, but there must someone willing to play him through whole event (or at least until the capture).
-
Mutants and ghouls can't wear armor so gatling is probably going to own at that event
-
Defenders use their own alts? Nice! Gonna start moving them to SF.
-

They can (and will) have persistent resistances set according to their look (and there
will be metal armor mutants as you can see on the screen).
They will also have relatively high luck - they are pirates after all.
Defenders use their own alts? Nice! Gonna start moving them to SF.
There is no need for this, for security reasons event will take place in a copy of SF
and the meeting for defenders probably will be in V15.
-
Can we keep those premade builds?
-
Can we keep those premade builds?
No. They won't be normal builds, they will have various "cheats" for the purpose of the event.
For example they won't be lootable.
Beside, jumping on a free account and participating in event isn't a good reason to get anything special.
The accounts will be banned after the event.
-
pirate comander must have 2-3x man of steel to avoid instant death or gatling crit. gatling crit even on tesla deal about 300damage in range
-
gatling crit even on tesla deal about 300damage in range
gatling on tesla deals about 40dmg and about 100 when its a crit
-
jacky is meaning 1hexing i guess, becouse i used to 1 hex crit enclave patrols for 300 dmg with gatling
-
I don't think I will be able to join the event as I have an exam and other plans for next Friday, but I wish good luck to Jovanka as well as any GM who will work on this very interesting event, and good luck to all players who will participate in it. Just in case I can get home earlier and connect to the game: will we be able to join the battle after the start of the event?

It might be possible (no guarantees though).

Need running ghoul animations. Go on, ask me.

The walking speed will be boosted anyway so they won't be that slow,
but if you think you can make it really well in 4 days then go ahead ;P
-
I said gatling bypass crit is very deadly. Even vs tesla is permanent death 300+ damage. I even 1hex tesla for 1500damage. Gatlings with better critical are to powerful.
-

I'm sure it will be taken care of, when have you seen an event that was horrible?
-
Gatlings won't be a bigger problem than they are on any event.
The chief of pirates will have one life but killing him isn't a victory condition.
Much bigger problem will be keeping both sides balanced over the course of event.
-
Just simply don't add Gatling laser than. :)
-
Hopefully Pete wont have a ridiculous amount of hp or resistance.... Will he? lol
He should be ridicolusly strong,otherwise mindless apes will tear him to pieces before the first lag spike.
Pity i already have to sing drunk in the streets in real life,dressed like a catholic priest shouting -*end is nigh!* ,otherwise i would have chosen this event as my last hour on earth before apocalypse.
Really,really good job Jovanka.

You know, i find it quite funny that people actually think the world wil end
-
the world shall not end. but i have a feeling that wipe is gona occur after this event.am i right devs?
-
nobody knows what will be tomorow, same for end of world or wipe, mostly people pretending becouse they believe they can influence future event, but they still paying for insurence ;). Cya in 5th dimension or 7th session :P

no

You will know wipe will happen a couple of days earlier when a dev/gm comes to NCR and starts spawning APA's, which is called pre-wipe madness.

Ahhh, pre-wipe madness..... The best time of the session.

Last session was started after a surprise wipe. It was just BAM, there.
-
Please stop derailing topic with the wipe mumbo-jumbo.
I don't have the slightest clue how long will be this session.
Go back to the subject.
-
1)
How to obtain attacker account?
I wanna play on attackers side, where i get closest info?
On irc channel, on offic forum or just be on friday logged in game?
2)
HIgher energy wps muties be on attackers side (tb plasma or pulse r)?
Thx for reasons.
-
The login/pass list will be revealed in this thread when the event will start.
TB plasma on super mutants with armor, pulse rifle probably only on the commander.

If you want play on side of pirates, yes.
But there is limited number of accounts so if you want to be sure to participate in event I would go to V15 with normal character anyway.
-
Will be there for defendors bozars? i need to know it for what character i will prepare for possibility of be in defendors (i want to be mutant, but only 30 people can be in attackers)
-
Defendors will have standard event outfitter items.

-
Well seeing how all my characters suck,I guess I'll go for pirates.
-
jov so if pirates wont be lootable how we can support emperor? he will be item or npc?
-
As defender, can you just show up?
-
Yes as defender you simply show up in V15.
Pirate logins/passwords will be revealed in this thread when the event will start.
jov so if pirates wont be lootable how we can support emperor? he will be item or npc?
General Secretary not Emperor. Most likely it will be a GM on a special character.
Item is a backup plan.
How you support him? Kill any mutant who will try to get close to him.
But he isn't the most important objective. Tanker fuel and computer parts are more important.
-
Nothing special for defenders?
-
What happens to defenders who die? where do they respawn, and can they rejoin if they become victims of an "accident"?
-

They respawn inside random San Francisco homes. There are outfitters there as well.
-
logins: unity1 ... unity30
password: unity
take ONE account, don't idle on them, if you dont play simply log off
-
The outfiters don't have beers which is a drug used by pvp alts if you didn't know...
EDIT: the muties have 400hp and 1k of ss lol this event is already won
-
10 minutes replication for pirates is quite harsh. Is it meant to be that way?
-

I think it's way very harsh, the other team gets like a 2 min replication...
Unbalanced to me...
-
We are getting radiated, my bg has 1st please fix this or event over
-
Who won? I wanted to play but had to do some stuff.
sounded GG hf status, wil their be another event soon?

-
Unbalanced as fk, but it was very fun. My ghoul sniper killed all your asses at least once. ^^
-
Pirates won. Arghhh
-

The pirates won, obviously... I mean, haven't we? We got everything but some gold crates :P
-
The pirates won,yaay....i mean Arrrrr me mates we blasted dem worthless do gooders arrrrrr!
Anyway,yeah it was a bit unbalanced but it was fun,also those gold boxes were practically impossible to get,they were right next to the respawn.
Oh well.
-
Thanks JovankaB
That was funny
-
Hardly enjoyable? depends in on which side youre fighting on I suppose ;)
I had quite a good time with my friends the ghouls and my mutantkin just sad the event was botched for the human players, overall great experience.
Back to levelling and trying to get a tent I suppose.
-
Thx jovanka
very good event
-

Must have been some bug in some accounts, sorry.
There was some small mistakes unfortunately.
I accidentally unblocked outfitters so they were wandering and fighting.

At least you explained it, I thought it was just a 'funny thing' you guys pulled off, now I'm not annoyed anymore :)
I did like the event, just annoying with the 10 min cooldown

It's not that you got banned, event ended and all the pirate accounts were "banned" simply to turn them off safely.
-
For this who didnt have chance to play on piretes here are their stats:

eh 5 ch was useless in my opinion
-
Recapitulation from my point of view: 10 minutes respawn cooldown was a serious bummer, loosing all stuff after second death was a serious bummer too, thank gods I was lucky enough to not be resp-killed (that would probly make me rage-quit considering the 10m resp cd ^^), but it was great anyway, gj and thanks for this event. It was well designed, the backstory was great, the atmosphere was awesome (real battlefield heat), also pirates not knowing each other just RPing pirates kinda, those are the things that I'd really like to highlight as possitive. It was sad and frustrating having to part with my gauss rifle (and all the other stuff too) due to a stupid bug, though.
-
I showed up ti vault 15 at 2123 and got left behind. I wished that there had been a way for the late people to join in. From what ive seen and read it was a blast. Maybe next time a terminal that can teleport people or someone to ferry people over?

event spoiled by cleverest TK, hope they get banned !
-
funny event, for non-balance you added radiation, and after it all balance was as everytime out... cause all pirate leaders died so... why pirates still attacking and gm killed non-respawnkillers in town?
-
funny event, for non-balance you added radiation...
Yeah and after 20mins we all had 1str and 7ap, that's why the pirates won. Great balance.

I don't know what happened there. There wasn't supposed to be any radiation.
Maybe there was some invisible radioactive cloud from previous events.

Jovanka can you make pvp/pve event with one of the pirate as reward :) 602hp pirate would be nice in nr :)
-
Yea some pirate as reward will be great. Or any event with rewards :)
-
I don't want to bash on good effort, but the event would have been much better with normal player characters on both sides, there could be few rounds and if one team dominates fast then mixing players from both teams to balance wouldn't be hard, with similar objectives or the same.
One of the best events so far was in Modoc some time ago TDM style, the same with objectives would be awesomeness.
-
I played in this event because since there was event alts, I just joined as a pirate.
only problem to me was those shi's walking around and when you died by them, they loot all your stuff you had and lose ur ss :P
-
I thought the concept was pretty awsome, and playing a mutant was really fun. I just don't understand why this session needs to be a Super Stim fest all the time. IMO event, and the whole session in general, would have been more fun if we had to rely on FA like the old days. I was shooting people using Gatling, Avenger, Vindicator, and Turbo Plasma, but they could stim faster than I could kill them.
