Nobody has to leave any faction to do this. Stay in your factions, for crying out loud. You love your existing factions, their function, name, and role-play background. I do too. Don't leave.
This idea is about registering a new character dedicated for one purpose: PvP. So only that one new fighter would do this. All those existing factions would remain active and having fun.
I improved the original wording so there should be no more confusion about "using a level 1 fighter in TC" (which I think is impossible anyway). Again, i meant only level up a single fighter (to at least level 24) that is dedicated for this cause. (Btw yes, that fighter needs to be a drug build, carefully planned to use a certain primary weapon. Get help planning him if you need it. Check Kelin's advice below: 280+ hit points, uses rocket launchers.)
Ironing out the details of approach should always be on a team's checklist. We need a synchronous attitude about losing gear, holding formation, recovering loot, using voice chat...all that has to be clearly communicated and practiced. Already in the plan:
1) In my opinion, it should be standard procedure that every player in this game have a safe place near Modoc, Gecko, Redding, BHills, Den, Reno, and Klamath. Stack gear at each place, plus ammo and drugs. This makes your WAlli fighter ready for all Town Control ops.
2) Assume we're going to lose a lot at first since it's a logical assumption. (We're up against seasoned veterans.) By not getting our hopes so high, we're not so disappointed with bumps as we start.
3) Train a lot first at Hinkley for free. You never lose gear at Hinkley even when your team loses! You just start again and keep climbing the learning curve.
4) Voice chat is a must. Mics are cheap so get one. There is no time in live PvP to type. You type, you die. Turn your cell phone volume off, turn the music down, sober up a little maybe, and tune in on voice chat to hear orders from the op leader. Or we die.
5) Stay calm, stay cool. Getting mad is just out. Getting too hyper during battle is a major ingredient for loss. So stay sharp, but remain calm and in formation. Stick with the team - don't go rogue rambo chasing someone unless the op commander orders the whole team to go there. Listen to instructions moment-to-moment.
6) Die in battle? It's part of the fight, so don't get mad - just run back from respawn, get geared back up nearby, and jump back in when you get the order.
7) See a buddy die? Grab his gear and keep fighting. He should be re-gearing nearby because we all keep multiple sets of gear ready near an op location.
7+1) Were we totally defeated? Time for a team meeting. What did we do wrong? Say it, man. What can we do next time for better outcome? Maybe we need to train more at Hinkley. I bet we do since the other team is there now after beating us lol.
9) We're done with an op and someone is asking about his gear. Find it and give it back. If you don't get your gear back, you need to not care much about that. Losing gear is the cost of PvP. PvP is expensive; we use drugs, we have to replace lost gear which takes time in between ops, and well i guess that's it - maybe not so expensive after all eh? The thrill is worth more than all of these pixels combined.
What else you got?
