View Full Version : CTF Tournament? L41 Players?



Zeus

I was wondering...would there be any interest in this for L41 players?

We had one for the L36 cap: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?120886-Battle-of-the-Greats-L36-AL-CTF-Tournament&highlight=battle+greats

I've been thinking to make another. All players are welcome to enter as long as they have a team of atleast 5 players. Additionally, this is a tournament...not some guildwars, so please keep the guild vs guild drama OUT!

If they're up to it, I don't have any objections besides the fact that I need players who are committed. I want to make the reward something big, so...if I keep having to DQ players because they don't show up, it won't be a very fun tournament. :/

I'm sure a lot of people would not like this idea, but what if all we did was sign up, then have the teams assigned randomly? (though sorted by type, so you have enough tanks, mages, rogues, etc)

I'm sure a lot of people would not like this idea, but what if all we did was sign up, then have the teams assigned randomly? (though sorted by type, so you have enough tanks, mages, rogues, etc)

There's a few issues with that:

1. Time Zones. Getting together 10 players for one match is already hard enough when they're your friends playing on a time zone. How brutal would it be to try to get together randoms? Tough!
2. Players might not want to cooperate if they get a player they dislike.

So, what I am going to do is allow y'all to do what you want in regards to teams. Additionally, in regards to teams being too OP, I will have an arcane item limit per team and that no player will be allowed to wear two arcanes at once. On top of that, arcane pets will not be allowed. Mythic and legendary pets are fine.

So, I will not be excluding players!

Exactly, it is for everybody, including arcane players. If we exclude them, who is going to buy gear just to play and how is it actually going to be a tournament?

So, this is where my rules from the previous tournament come into play:
• 2-3 arcanes per team (I'll decide on wether it's 2 or 3 arcanes later)
• A single player cannot be wearing more than one arcane
• No arcane rings. I will be picking a suitable ring that everybody MUST wear as a standard. Thus, mythic rings will not be allowed either. Why is this rule implemented? To those who do have arcane rings, picking up a 3m ring is easier said than done. So, I will be requiring players to wear a specific ring, perhaps a winterstar ring of warfare.

If you want to wear your mythic ring, you will have to allow arcane rings to be present. Otherwise, it's just not all that fair for people to have to spend 2-3m just to enter tourney.

Mythic weapons are even more expensive than mythic rings though, and even more overpowering if you don't have them.

What if each person could have a max of 4/5 items being mythic/Arcane (not incl pets) and have 2 arcanes max etc etc.

Instanthumor
04-30-2014, 08:03 PM
You can allow 3 arcane items and possible count the arcane ring as 2 arcane items if anything... Last season, kershals (the arcane of that season) were allowed, so I don't see why people shouldn't be able to arcane rings.

The bow almost == mythic daggers. Most people I know own at least a legendary gun which is pretty good. I don't know about limiting mythics, as most people are already at least mythics. However, two arcanes does sound awesome!

@Instant
The problem with that is when equipping two arcanes at the same time, the person becomes vastly OP. I don't try in most of the CTF games I am playing. Imagine if I was actually trying...just saying.

You could always make the rule that you can't have two of the same arcane items on the same team, and one person can wear only one arcane item.

The other option is to allow arcane rings? Is that fair? What do you prefer? People with arcane rings will be forced to downgrade. A top of the line mythic ring costs 2-3m. So, then, the mythic players with rings have the advantage when I disable arcane rings. Thus, the no mythic ring + no arcane ring makes it fair to everybody.

I believe archon rings isnt good for rogues thus most prrfer mythic rings and buying one would cost alot for most... since theyre 2-3m.
Zeus knows how strong a rogue can be just by using arcane ring but i believe it realy doesnt do much since it isnt a clash ctf... to me i dont think it is unfair for a rogue to use arcane ring as long as there is only 1arcane item for the player in a team. Making 3arcane items per seems not fun.

I agree to use arcane rings for this ctf game will be determined by teamplay not by gear.

Who are those people who have to spend 2-3m just to enter tourney? I'm assuming those who want to join are mostly using mythic rings atm. If you're an arcane ring user, then 2-3mil for a ring is peanuts for you. Allowing mythic rings should not be a precedent for also allowing arcane rings imo.

If you're bent on not using myth rings, may I suggest the use of any ring without an aura? This will eliminate arcane, mythic, archon and winterstar rings.

I think you know how many arcane rings are in circulation right now, especially in pvp endgame. In my guild alone, we have 4-5. I know Magnum has quite a few. I'm not quite sure about Republika though.

As Cero said, a rogue gets very very strong when equipping an arcane ring, strong enough to kill a flagger in seconds. As a result, I don't think it's fair to allow them in the match. However, I also do not think it's fair to force ring users to get a separate ring when the next best ring is also costly. This goes for archon rings as well. If y'all are not willing to even downgrade your ring, how can you expect arcane users to be willing at all?

@Cero
Allowing 2-3 arcanes last time did not seem to make the matches unbalanced. I think I had around 12-14 (84-98 players) teams iirc and they were all geared out as well.

Classychic
05-01-2014, 08:30 AM
That's why I suggested the use of any ring without an aura. You are talking about the number of rings that are now in Magnum, and ofc you know how many there are in your guild as well. What about those people who are skilled pvp players but do not have these rings? What I'm saying is downgrading from a 100mil ring to a 2-3m one shouldn't be an issue as those people can easily afford or even borrow one. If you feel that allowing mythic ring users to use their rings is a disservice to arcane rings users, then by all means level the playing field by requiring a standard ring or as i suggested, one without an aura. It can be legendary but it still wouldnt be an archon ring.

2-3m is still an expense. Unnecessary expenses cause people to lose interest or not participate from my experience of making tournaments. That is why I do not have things like a jackpot for tournaments, as a payment on entry is a turn off to most players.

So, in short, I do need to level the playing field. This is also why I am keeping the arcane rule to 2-3. This is flexible enough to allow weapons but not flexible enough to use the arcane pet of your choice. Make sense? If I limited that rule to 1, then it means that player will have to find a mythic staff or mythic weapon user which can be equally expensive. Thus, that rule remains to what it is.

The last tournament lasted a month and most players I know do not want to be dumping money for that amount of time.

Meecah,

If you're talking about statwise then no, the ring is not close to the arcane ring at all. However, if you take away the arcane ring and not allow it to be used, it become the next best ring. So, that becomes a 2-3m expense for any player. Do you want to spend 2-3m just to enter a tournament? I sure as heck wouldn't. I've already explained why that causes interest level to go down.

The higher the cost of participating, the less participants there are. I've learned that from many tournaments that I've seen on forums.

Need a case and point? Goodsyntax's contest! No offense to Good, it's a great contest, however, due to limiting arcane gear and not providing an affordable substitute you only really see 2 guilds entering in that contest when expected turnout was much more.

I see more interest waning if you allow the use of arcane rings, though :/ You can literally one-shot people with that. Say you allow 2-3 arcanes per team. Equip a maul and a ring on a tank and a ring on a rogue. You now have a rock who can flag and a hitter who can kill. :D Why are you more worried about people not participating because they cannot use their top goods, than others not participating because they will be going against people WITH top goods? :(

It's not a matter about agreement. You want a case and point? Again, Kalizzaa's contest.

They wanted arcane gear to be removed from the contest, even had a poll on it. However, when that was implemented and people had to downgrade, now they only have 2 guilds actively participating in that contest.

People don't have to like the rules, they're made in the interest of keeping things fair.

In most cases that I am aware of, my guild included, the rules had nothing to do with the lack of entries in that contest, it was purely due to too little time to get teams together from announcement to contest time.

I think the people who turn out for a tournament like this are your best and most geared players anyway. As you are placing a limit on how many arcane items can be on one team, I don't see any problems with arcane rings being included in that count.

BTW, I assume arcane pets are not included in that count?

I think the people who turn out for a tournament like this are your best and most geared players anyway. As you are placing a limit on how many arcane items can be on one team, I don't see any problems with arcane rings being included in that count.

BTW, I assume arcane pets are not included in that count?

Ener, have you seen how hard a rogue with an arcane ring hits yet though? I can show you if you'd like. That's the whole reason why I'm scared to allow the ring, despite having one because it might unbalance matches.

Does the ring really boost your damage that much? I thought it only gives about 40-50 extra dmg. I thought most of the difference in having an arcane ring is in your armor and health.

I do 4.6k crits on mages.

It is only overpowered on a rogue due to aimed shot.

It's not a matter about agreement. You want a case and point? Again, Kalizzaa's contest.

They wanted arcane gear to be removed from the contest, even had a poll on it. However, when that was implemented and people had to downgrade, now they only have 2 guilds actively participating in that contest.

People don't have to like the rules, they're made in the interest of keeping things fair.

Honestly it was more of a commitment issue than the arcane rule. No one had to buy anything, I mean we all have other pets and weapons than arcane.

Zeus you are a good guy for arranging this for everyone and taking into consideration all of the suggestions. You should keep the rules as simple as possible and don't require the participants to buy anything. Good luck to you guys, nice to see a friendly pvp thread in here.

Hey Candy,

I know in my guild, it wasn't a commitment issue but a gear issue. It's rather expensive to re-gear yourself in weapons that are not arcane and regear yourself in rings that are not arcane.

P.S: Thanks for the compliment!

Interesting. We all just grabbed crate pinks and shared among ourselves the single mythic staff we had within the guild.

However, I will give you this. Arcane ring users who sold blood would have to drop some gold to purchase again so I see your point. If you have a guild with 5 arcane rings now you are talking about a gold sink. Still, if you try and make everyone wear the same ring for your tourney, people will forget and you will get non-stop PM about cheating. Whose to say they don't equip archon? OK we can banter this on CB I really have no place posting in this thread. Carry on Z. XD. I go back PvE now.

Haha, Candy, you know I value your opinion!

The thing is, that's exactly why I chose winterstar rings! They have an effect so everybody knows what ring they are wearing!

I wonder what happens when you do that 4.6 crit while cursed :p

I say use em if you got em. I'm sure it will even out. If your team is allowed 3 arcane items, then having a ring will count as one of them.

BTW, now that I got some decent gear, let's do some 1-on-1 sometime :)

Mythic ring is tradeable, can sell after the tournament. I hope a merchant don't read this thread, i feel like winter rings will disappear from cs soon, huhu.

Let em wear anything other than arcane ring. Easiest way out. Also, those merchants can't benefit from this like they did from the PvP Legend of the Week

I thought about it.

Those who have an arcane ring may simply borrow one from their friends, I am sure. So, they will be allowed.

I think you overestimate curse. I tested with a mage friend of mine. Under curse, I crit a bit over 2.5k on a Lightning, and I got about 5-6% damage done back to me. Curse is only effective vs DoT.

This is correct and is about the same in my testing however this was a while back.

Curse is a set amount, correct? As i undersand it there is a maximum amount of dmg that curse can reflect back on to yourself. Hence why DOT curse is so powerful.

Back on topic good job parf, i dont really care what rules there are as everyone will have to follow them regardless. Looking forward to it mate :)
