Tourney Map

[Arachnophobik]

okay so i thought of something and would like to share you all my idea.

there would be a pvp tourney for every big event (tarloks, halloween, elondria, etc.)

rules are:
1.5v5
2.no more than 3 tanks (not sure if it should be three or two, but lets say for now we agree on three)
3. no two pets of the same kind in a team
4. all arcanes are banned (all myths are okay and recommended ofc., all arcanes are banned to motivate more great yet non-arcane players to join)

now the tourney map would be in the "pvp maps button" but would be locked until its open for the event. usually mods announce the upcoming big events anyway so you would have about a month more or less to prepare (make a forum account, set a team, etc.), and the mods would hand out some item (kinda acts like a ticket) if you want to participate and it will grant you access to fight in the tournament. the map would also feature a "spectator mode" where if you are not a participant, you could watch the players fight (this is also good so that mods could watch the fights using spectator mode and there would be full 5v5 fights). the spectator mode would give you two views, one is the contestant's point of view and one is yours where you could move the camera freely. the tourney would also have a "rewind" option where you could watch the fights that happened and see the highlights of the match. i think it would also be nice if sts could stream the video live on a spectator mode. i have no ideas for prizes, what i like might bug you so i'll leave that undecided.

The kills you get on tournament mode wont reflect on your kdr (not sure it thats good, but it only happens occasionally anyway so i dont think its necessary) so basically there would be no tournament kdr (you could see who you just killed tho ofc.). All participants will be given a tournament flag, and the winners (including the semifinalists) would also be given a different, possibly cooler, flag. As i said this will only happen during big events, but im thinking there would be a grand tournament where same rules apply, but with better prizes, and aside from flags, they would also give a special vanity for participants and also a different one for the winner and semi finalists. as for now i dunno what to call that grand tournament, i suck at that (Arlor Kombat, Budokai Arlor Tenkaichi, Street Arlor... err.. fighter or something) so i'll leave it for the devs to decide (or maybe you guys). also, maybe the maps would also be themed according to the event, i.e winter theme for tarlok's, creepy theme for halloween, etc.

p.s.
To prevent your friends from exposing the opponent's skill build as the fight goes on, guild chat and pms would be disabled for participants, only team chat will be allowed as well as the mod's messages. People on spectator mode could talk and cheer with their guildies tho, but you wont see anything on your chatbox if your a participant.


well that's about it, feel free to comment your opinions and criticisms

sounds like fun, maybe you should figure out the details a little bit more for some more support on this, I however like this idea and give u a big fat + 1

[Dex_addict]

Love the idea Pho, could definitely be something to look forward to each event. Really dig the idea of "spectator mode" and really love the idea of "themed" maps too.

[Bloodskerr]

Good idea, don't let this die. Unite this with previous tourney ideas and let's implement the tourney system into the game

[Fiayalia]

This sounds like a good idea and a great motiv to face clogging and gangin aswell as inequalities and would rule a balance between players in the aren

[Mysticalnova]

What lv would this be ?

Awesome idea Pho! +1!!

Hello,

Hmm, Nice!
I don't know where to start---
There's alot and I understand your suggestion isn't complete, but it's well thought out so far.
As with any idea - there are still things that can be added later to improve it or to explain it in more depth.
I'd like to add to that without making things too complicated.

Entry
Along with the release of the seasonal quests - you might have a themed item (a ticket, as you mentioned) which can be obtained as a reward from the quest.

They could be replenished in regular pvp, somehow - or alternatively you could use platinum to replenish your 'Entry Points' or ticket points.
The points could be found from kills or captured flags.
If this isn't to your taste, you could enter the tournament via the forums, like the Summer Clash.

Strategy & Structure
The idea of disabling the chat would be necessary - who holds the skill to type and pvp at the same time anyway?
I aplaude anyone who does that...
"Mull-Tea-Tass-King".

Replacing it with a selection of words commonly used in pvp to communicate strategically could be implemented instead.

The tournament could have a set of rules as you mentioned to make it fair for all participants, much like Summer Clash.
The list of rules there at S.C pretty much covers it all.

I like the idea of having no more than 3 tanks in a team.
I'd say no more than 2 of any class.
As for Arcane items, perhaps you could have leagues in your tournament:

Arcane League - Arcane items/pets only.
Mythic League - Mythic items/Mythic pets only.
Legendary League - Legendary items/ pets only.

Mixed league - A mix of items and pets.
Level Divisions - That could narrow things down alot more.

I understand that this could have it's disadvantages, so if there are any ideas please feel free to add to it.

KDR
I'd like to see that recorded
That could have a separate section on the stats screen -
Maybe a separate section on the leaderboards.

Spectator Mode
Rewind would be great!

Themed Maps
I probably like this more than I should o.O
It'd be a nice change.
I'm sure staring at the same area in pvp every game gets tiring after a while, especially for those chasing achievement points.
It could be added to both the tourney and the current pvp maps.

Be creative! :P

Decorated pumpkins could be placed around the arena, looking all innocent and stuff - until someone steps near it...

Ice patches of Nordr could be thrown in there,
just to see what happens...

Have fun with it!

Other Info
I would definately like to see this implemented into the main-game.
it's like a more entertaining version of the Summer Clash, I think.
Although the Summer Clash had a few key points which would be useful here!
Combine the two :-)

Summer Clash: Here
Great tournament, could've been permanent

I might edit my post later
That's all for now...

Lmfaaao you never fail to make me laugh on those intros X'D great idea death, keep it coming guys!
And yep, they will register on forums, but they will be granted an item that enables them to access the "player" version of the arena, those who dont have it would automatically be in spectator.

And i looove the idea of leagues! I would love to see max geared players crush each other, although im not too sure on the legendary league (unless twinks) since i think that would make mages too soft (not too sure since i never maxed my mage).

^^ THIS!!
Why we love you Death . Great Ideas...(love the sneaky pumpkins lmao) the map coming alive is a very interesting concept. Keep the ideas coming

[Deathdor]

Awesome idea Pho! +1!!

+2!

Yeah, I agree with you Bloodskerr
Get the tourney in the game!

Hahah, thanks Dex.
In PvP, no where should be safe!

...Except for the spectator spot or spectator mode.
We might need more seats for the Arcane-item users and some popcorn, yes popcorn.
Those games would be fun to watch!

Good point about the Legendary League.
It would need some work balancing things out
