If anyone felt something was missing or buggy during 1v1 tournaments, please post here. I feel before contestants are warped into a match have a 60 second window with an okay/ready button. I know, I probably wouldnt have made it back after my connection dropped but I just had to reset my router. I dont know why it drops, need to upgrade I guess.
Yea the 1vs1 ones are good, a time limiti before the next fight would be good and maybe a banker in case you are in a long fight u can stock up before the next fight. I can only carry so much on me , if I run out of supplies in two fights I don't have time to stock up before the next.
We can address the above issue by updating the maximum length of the match before sudden death starts, however during a tournament you need to be ready. Once a match is triggered, you will have a 10 second window to prepare. We could look into making a small change to the pre match setup delay however. Actually DV, before each match your bank will open as you are drawn into the arena, keep in mind if you move it will automatically close the bank. Currently you have 10 seconds to grab any supplies before the match starts. To find out when the next Tourney is check out our event Calendar. Currently 1v1 Tourneys run on Tuesdays and Sundays, however if enough players get together and request a tournament the staff will run one for you. Down the road players will be able to design and run their own automated tournaments for a small fee per player. November's Events
Abyz, I know he gets a bit wordy at times, but this last line in his reply....should answer your questions.
Actually it was in response to that statement that I asked... A hoster could "pay" for a tourney and have free entry I assume?
As a spectator I would like only one fight going on at time. I found myself running back and forth between the arenas. It was difficult to keep up with all the action. Otherwise I found the matches entertaining and enlightening, as a non-pvp person learned a few strategies . Thanks guys, you were all great.
The two tournies I was in were fun! The system seems to be working smoothly. Is there any way the tournament master could be set up to allow a PC to dclick him, pay a fee, and set up his own tourney? All w/o GM support? THAT would be boss.
Again, the last line I quoted answers that point. Yes, at some point in time, that is in the realm of possibility. The laundry list of things they're working on is very long, and that has been brought up several times as a desired outcome of their work.
This is actually a good idea Abyz, and I have two models in mind for player run events. The base model would most likely include a fee to initiate the event, with participants having the options of wagering on the event. A secondary (down the road) option would be for players not involved in the event to wager on the event. I hope to get this done by the end of the year, as I feel something that is lacking from free shards. Players should have the ability to run a pvp league, tournament, or ctf grudge match when the players are available, not when the staff schedules the event. Also with the addition of our detailed stat tracking and kill logs players will be able to take pride in their accomplishments and track their combat rankings against the rest of the server.
Yeah just keep that possibility in mind that people might challenge their own characters here (if ya know what i mean).
Events like the tournaments & ctf games have an IP restriction applied to them, so you cannot fight "yourself" for additional ranking.
