* sorry if this is the incorrect forums for this post but it seemed the most appropriate at the time *

Yes boys and girls it's that time again! BRA is having another giveaway on June 10th (this Saturday)! Since most of you are now seasoned veterans of the event we won't bore you with all the enticements we normally include in our posts to get ppl out (I mean you already know the prizes are fairly nice and the entertainment is worth a chuckle). BUT we will mention a few new things instituted just for this event.

This event is all about Jade Quarry. BRA wants to do everything we can to create some interest in this map and hopefully get it going similar to Aspenwood. So we've decided to hold the event in.... you guessed it... Jade Quarry (both Luxons AND Kurzick's side). We're also intending to run this event for as long as we possibly can (all day if it works out) from 10am pst until we run out of gifts & prizes.

Now there is a theme this time around - "bring teh build" and we hope to have several in-game events for the Jade Quarry mission. But in a nut shell, we want you to bring the absolute WORST build you can come up with. We're talking absolute garbage. We're talking Wammo's with Blessed signet & Unyielding Aura. We're talking Nec's with Awaken the blood and BiP. If it sucks - we want to see you running it in the Quarry. BRA members will enter in game looking for these superstar builds and award prizes for the most creative and crappy ones they find. There will also be other in-game events as well such as the most deaths by a base defender or trivia questions about the quarry etc. The event will also include some of the original favorites such as factions trivia, emotes/Simon says while including some of the newer events like tinsoldier racing and what's in your pants....err I mean inventory.

We're always intent on helping any of those that need it, so if you have questions about the Quarry map or its game play - by all means ask a BRA member and I'm sure they'll be more than willing to try and explain it to the best of their ability.

So to recap for those who find reading tedious:

What: BRA Giveaway - "Bring teh build!"
When: June 10th - starting @ 10am PST to ???
Where: Jade Quarry (both Luxons AND Kurzicks side)
Your goal: Bring the absolute worst build you can design/create

As with other events, donations are always welcome and credit will be given out to those who donate in the wrap up post following the event.

Please feel free to contact me (or any other BRA members) in-game with any questions you have about the event or post about them here. If you'd like to contribute items for the give away, please contact me via the following in-game names:

Gray Elk
The Gray Elk
The White Elk
Elk Grayhorn
Caribou Kid

Looking forward to seeing you all out on Saturday (Whoopee! The all day event is going to allow the EU players to participate!!!) and lets get Jade Quarry rockin like it was in the Beta events!

Try bringing a 55 Mo/ who uses a certain skill (not protective spirit; I don't remember which one) that makes him lose 4 energy alot and have him be the tank (LOL)

W/E who brings Flare, Ice spike, pheonix, gale, obsidian flame, and meteor and constantly screams "I NEED ENERGY, ZOMG NECRO, RENEW ME"

Or a monk with all points into smiting and brings banish, bane sig and something useless, and uses necro abilitys to summon minions.

Orders Necro FTL

Holy Wrath...

Mr_T_bot · Jun 06, 2006, 01:53 AM // 01:53

The worst build? The worst almost-looks-workable build or just a bad build. The latter is very easy.

cjb909 · Jun 06, 2006, 02:02 AM // 02:02

Sounds like a great idea, bringing tons of people to the Jade Quarry!

The competitions is even more interesting, because its easy to put a bad build together. The challange appears to make one blatantly bad, and comical.

TheMadKingGeorge · Jun 06, 2006, 02:11 AM // 02:11

this is going to be great

Anraeth · Jun 06, 2006, 03:08 AM // 03:08

i shall win.

Esprit · Jun 06, 2006, 03:15 AM // 03:15

That's cool that you are generating interest for Jade Quarry, though if people go in with crap builds and lose a lot, it might have a detrimental effect on what you are trying to accomplish.

If I go, I will definetly bring Apply Poison to mass spam with Barrage.

thrice · Jun 06, 2006, 03:18 AM // 03:18

Bah going to New York that night.

Yuo Can Do It! · Jun 06, 2006, 03:58 AM // 03:58

No skills at all. Would that count as a build? I'm guessing not, since anyone can do that.

w/e - skills that require over 20 energy without bringing glads armor.

TheProject · Jun 06, 2006, 04:06 AM // 04:06

Hahahaha, great stuff.

But I think they want the build to actually work, like a Warrior/Necromancer who trys using minions, curses and then uses Midnight Signet, and screams to their monk:

I have Blind on me!
I have Blind on me!
I have Blind on me!
I have Blind on me!
I have Blind on me!
I have Blind on me!
I have Blind on me!
I have Blind on me!
I have Blind on me!
I have Blind on me!

A w/n who uses a mesmer elite ?

-Loki- · Jun 06, 2006, 06:16 AM // 06:16

So I'm going to win the lot by bringing a touch ranger?

anonymous · Jun 06, 2006, 07:11 AM // 07:11

I think I have the worst possibly build ever. I'm going to run a aoe smiting monk that uses heal area and the healing circle spell as self heals. It would accomplish absolutely nothing. Or I could always run the 8 cap sigs, 8 hard rezes, a self enchant heavy build that relies on ether prodigy for energy management, or I could fall back on the good ol mending wammo. But then again seeing as I cant use pvp characters there, i cant run any of those. Looks like im going to be a wand weilding warrior.

Stabber · Jun 06, 2006, 08:00 AM // 08:00

8 Signets of Capture ftw!

mega_jamie · Jun 06, 2006, 08:19 AM // 08:19

I think my A/Mo is going to go with everyteleport skill possible, Or just a heft combo with no Lead attack.

Is this going to be in international districts, or confined to just american?

Rook Dekai · Jun 06, 2006, 08:55 AM // 08:55

Of Course I will be there

someone has to help hand out the stuff!

Aw nerf.. only 4 more Days to go? *Runs out to farm some goodies to give away*

bele · Jun 06, 2006, 09:00 AM // 09:00

Great. btw, 10 PST = ? GMT

First time

I assume its Pacific Standard Time or sth like that. I'm in Eurozone. Thats going to be fun and thinking some pretty builds for my Mesmer/Necro

Lanni · Jun 06, 2006, 12:17 PM // 12:17

Hi

This sounds like fun

10:00am PST Pacific standard time
= 17:00 (5pm) GMT Greenwich mean time
= 18:00 (6pm) BST British summer time

http://www.timezoneconverter.com/

I guess this will be held in International district 1? Can someone from BRA confirm that please?

Lanni

anti_z3r0 · Jun 06, 2006, 04:51 PM // 16:51

yes, this will take place in International District 1. That is something we forgot to clarify in the original post and thanks for pointing that out!
