Hi everyone,

We've added in an exciting new feature to spacetimestudios.com - Competitions.

If you're interested to learn more, please join us in the Pocket Legends PvP Forum.

If you are interested in non in-game PvP competitions, please post your ideas here.

There isn't a tie in between the game and the website (currently), so please don't expect stats in game.

2) We plan to open things up for members of the community to be able to set up and run tournaments and leagues. We don't plan to open it up to everyone as we don't want a lot of spam.

3) Option to hide stats - right now there isn't the functionality to do so, but it's something we can add in the future.

what members of the community would have the ability to create tournaments and leagues?

Those who have proven they won't abuse such privileges. Get involved and put together a great competition idea and you'll get the ability to.

I like the scrolling loop that says ""Welcome to Competitions!"

[thugimmortal]

Will this include star legends pvp too

[Whirlzap]

So leagues are like guilds/clans?

Yes, however PvP is not currently a launch feature for Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles.

[Samhayne]

Think "bowling league"

[Sun]

Think "bowling league"

So like level brackets, possibly?

[thugimmortal]

For the non ingame pvp how about:

putting a special competiton map ingame that changes to what ever the contest is at the time
for example a contest was a time trial there could be a competition map ingame from any campain with a timer.
or a survivor map where there are endless maps and bosses that get harder and harder until death and our kill count for that map would be the score.
with there being no link to game we could take screenshots of the scores and post them and add the scores to a league table.
I know these would have to be offical competitions but hey its an idea

[apocketlegend]

I'd like to get involved

[Silentarrow]

Sounds great! This will make pvp a lot more popular, i might even make a twink right now because of this. Thanks STS!

[Zbooo]

I believe so, its a STS-Wide format.... So this will include SL.

[Swimmingstar]

So will there be prizes?
Anyway so will it be level based from levels 1-5 5-10 10-15 15-20 20-25 25-30 30-35 35-40 40-45 45-50 50-56?
also wondering if there is prizes is it shared by team or is everyone on their own team and last person standing.
Oh yea and is it organized like saying go or is it free for all?

[Mennddoza]

I am pumped... >=)

[PatsoeGamer]

Wow if STS can pull this off successfully it could make PL an unbelievable gaming experience! If you do I'll definatley play pvp more, all these ideas are amazing!
Not sure if it was mentioned, but what about all out wars between clans? Groups more than four, let's push the boat and say make it a hundred.. Know that's a stretch as most rooms don't take more than 24, but I'm just suggesting ;-) 50v50 with terrain, obstacles and places to jump out on your opponents could be a lot of fun lol
