thats not really a problem though, as long as the match days are fixed then even stuff like i7 shouldnt interrupt too much, its only 30 mins a week afterall

unless they patched on thursday is what you mean

It does sound like fun, would be in but don't think I could do Thursdays unfortunately, every 2nd one is poker night.

Doh. And I was hoping to get some PvP experience in

This sounds really fun, so count me in.

ZOMG!! This sounds like great fun!! I'm definitely in for this

And if I miss out, well, I guess Camerman Coin can always come out of retirement

tell me when to sign up, and i will make a 3 man team, wanted to do that tournament... are going to be referees?

nitroxide - you don't sign up with a three man team, you sign up with a character as an individual. The teams are assigned randomly each bout, so you could be on a team with two people you defeated in the first round for instance. This is to test a player's adaptability to different team conditions.

Signed up randomly?? how can it be? that can't be a fair tournament i think, and why not to pick ur team? cos usually i play with 2 pals in team and have teamwork, how about random players, maybe not good teamwork...

Without getting into a hugely complicated explanation, the idea is that it is more of a challenge to have to cope with random teams/opponents than it is to design a team. Yes, you would be more effective if you were with your friends, using complementary builds/ATs, but it is more of a test of your PvP abilities to have to develop teamwork and tactics on the spot.

Plus it is always fun to team with new people, or even sworn rivals from the zones!

I think it is going to be a lot of fun, and very interesting to see just how high the individual standard of PvP is on the two servers.

BUG : , ATM VILLAINS CANNOT TEAM WITH HEROES...


 

Posted

Well i will try then , sign me up , and we will see what is going on that tournament, i have a question... who will choose teams?? i mean for example... can 3 brutes team up together in tourney? 3 corrs, or that cannot be posible?

Sounds like a recipe for disaster, so obviously I'm interested. Any thoughts about hosting on the test server? did you rule this out?

Rules look good except rule 9. I think you should make a rule and make everyone stick to it. This issue caused a lot of arguments in S4. With your setup and random teams I can see confusion and bad stuff. I suggest either:

1. No restarts for any reason.
or
2. Any member can call "restart" up to 30 seconds from start and each team can do this twice in a match.

But whatever, the point is I think you should make a rule, make it plain.

Cheers for the points Filth, we'll have a chat about restarts.

As for test server, the basic idea was to make it easily accessible to the average player (i.e. not having to faff about with installing test).

Tanaka - we'll look into it, see if that requires some rejigging.

While I agree with Filth, however at the moment, the arena is very buggy, and therfore for some, 2 times out of 5 players cannot see there team-mates - You need to allow for bugs at least I think.?

We have tried the test server for PVP recently, but was extremly laggy, not sure when this event will take place, but I feel that will be a better option (after I7 is out maybe)?

From what I've read of teh rules, teams will be drawn completely at random for each match, meaning any combination of hero/villain AT's is possible.

Think it was mentioned these will be held on Union AND Defiant separately with a 'grand final' on test?

On another note, anyone know people on the other two servers who may wish to replicate it on those? A 4 team final would certainly make it more interesting if we do have one on test!

Not aware of any french/german interest in running it, but a PM to myself or Xanthus would be welcome - the more the merrier as far as servers is concerned.

Can we get confirmation that this happens in the arena? I thought this was a Warburg-only problem, given the valentines day mixed-side missions. If heroes and villains cannot team together, then the random element will be shot in the foot (only one foot, mind )
