News

Last week we saw a more successful run with our events than the previous week. Though we had poor turnout on Friday and Saturday for PvP, we did manage to recruit a few new members and we made our Sith guild, Nobility's Nefarious Nerfherders. Sunday Sora managed to get some PvP going and we had about five solid warzone matches, most of them victories. Even with just a level 18 Sentinel and a level 24 Scoundrel we were able to control the battlefield. This proves that with a solid team and a good VOIP, it's very possible to take down any foe in a warzone. We continued to win the matches once we had 4 or 5 members in a warzone together. The pugs just served as meat shields!


Due to the conflicting schedules, however, we will be modifying how we do things. From now on for the next week or two to test the waters, every night at 8 PM EST expect us to be running Warzones or other group events. Just get onto mumble and hop ingame, and once a few of us are online we'll begin.


In addition, I am presenting a challenge! For the next two weeks, I challenge all members to a recruitment challenge. Whoever, at the end of two weeks, recruits the most members who join up on Mumble and sign up on the forums, submitting an app., and get active with nobility (that includes talking to us and participating in warzones and other group stuff,) will receive a 60-day prepaid card code for SWTOR. Post your recruits in the SW:TOR forum for easier tracking:http://nobilitygaming.com/showthread...ed-quot-Board!


Make a list of the members you recruit and do your best to get them active!

Riot has released a patch that they are referring to as "Rise of the Bot Army" this week. Check out this thread for further discussion: http://nobilitygaming.com/showthread...-patch&p=51486

Sorry for the disjointed formatting of this post, at least the information is all good.

Game on!

It saddens me to have to announce this, but the Battlefield 3 group has been officially dropped from our roster of supported games. Unfortunately, there were not enough players interested in the game to keep it going. If anybody would like to get together to re-open the doors on the group, however, just let the council know and we will be more than willing to help get this group going strong again.

Now, this leaves us with a vacancy in the FPS genre. Please let the council know if you would like to start a group in an FPS game on ANY system, consoles included!

Since this format of the news is still somewhat new, I would like to point out that you can click on the title of any news post and leave comments much the same way you would reply to a forum post. This method of commenting will be the recommended means of discussing any news post going forward. So, that being said, please let us know any questions or comments in the comments section of this news post.

Game on!

Today's patch was HUGE. It introduced a high level flashpoint, Rise of the Rakghouls, added 4 new bosses to the 16 man Operation, Kragga's Palace, and nerfed/buffed/added a lot of the classes, items, and missions in the game. Since we do not have more than two people level 50, we will have to wait on doing Rakghouls as a clan. However, this patch should have helped to balance the classes more for PvP, which is great as it's just in time for our Friday Night PvP Session at 9 PM EST.
