Open Events Organization Guidelines

Organizing Open Events

Since it's inception, our Open Initiative has been designed to include our guild members , as well as our Soulshriven friends. And this encompasses not only participation, but also organization side of things. This means, by design, open-events realized on our Discord server through Open Initiative can also be organized by Soulshriven authorized by us and tagged as regular organizers ("Lieutenants"). If you are interested in regularly planning, organizing and leading such events, please let us know.

 

Open Events Organization Guidelines

In time, we devised following Guidelines to help us govern the way open-events (i.e. open vTrials) are organized. These events generally are of three types: progression, farm and score raids, and we will be handling them separately:

• Open Progression Raids generally don't require prior clearing of the content in any way, unless the Raid is a HM of main content (e.g. vCR+1 is considered an HM of vCR+0, the same way vAA HM is that of regular vAA etc).
  
  In the case of being a non-HM (e.g. vCR+0, vAS+0, non-HM vTrials), the related event announcements cannot have any "must have finished", "must have cleared before" or similar statements in them.
  
  In the case of being an HM, prior main-raid content clearing maybe and should be stated as a requirement (again, for example, if content is vAA HM, prior clearance of vAA may be, or even, should be, required).
  
  In contrary, Open Farm and Score Raids do require prior clearance of the content.
   
• Open Progression Raids can require people to read and learn mechanics from guides. They need to explicitly state that, if this is the case. Open Farm and Score Runs on the other hand, already assume you know the mechanics.
   
• All Open Raids, as any content we organize, are Tier-based. Open Progression & Farm Raids require the character doing them to have minimum the same Tier-clearance as the content is. E.g. vMOL is Tier-2 content, so only characters with Tier-2 (Practicus) clearance or above can attend those.
  
  For Open Score Runs though, the Tier-level requirement is 1 (one) level above of the content. E.g. when a Tier-2 content (e.g. vMOL) is organized as a Score run, only Tier-3 and above characters may attend it. Announcements should mention roles in accordance to this. 

 

Short - tl:dr version:

Progression Runs: same Tier requirement as the content itself, no prior experience required for non-HMs.

Farm Runs: same Tier requirement as the content itself, prior experience required for both non-HMs and HMs.

Score Runs: one Tier above requirement than the content itself, prior experience and good knowledge of mechanics are required.
 

 

Organizers, please make sure your announcements follow these guidelines.
