Call of Champions is turning out to be something very special (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/content.php?597-Call-of-Champions-Press-Links). So much so that we have received an overwhelming amount of requests to play as early as possible, most notably from the professional eSport/ competitive gaming community.

As such, Alpha is going to be extremely exclusive and comprised of the Best of the Best. We’ll be announcing it in a couple of weeks, but thought we would give you an early heads up.

Personally, I think this game is amazing. We can’t put it down inside the studio, and we can’t wait to get it into your hands.

We’re opening up Alpha in three tiers over a couple of months:

- Tier 1: Titan Class (30 people total)
- Tier 2: Legend Class (90 people total)
- Tier 3: Hero Class (270 people total)

Alpha access is prestige beyond anything we have offered before. It is far beyond being a Founder. It is as close to being a dev as you can get, because you actively help us shape the game. We’ll have a way in game to permanently show that you were part of this elite group.

Use this thread to tell us why you or others should be considered, discuss possible criteria for getting in, and ask us anything else about the Alpha that you would like to know.

Help us figure out who gets to guide the game to completion. In other words, who among you are PvP Titans?

Thanks for everything and looking forward to our next adventure together!

I think this is a great step forward into letting your players know that you completely trust them.

I wish to be considered in the Alpha game of CoC. Also my pvp teammates (Raregem and Shinytoy)

We PVP in AL everyday, break down the game, submit bug reports in the Technical Bugs and Issues section of AL and are very active in the AL forums.

Please also consider Serancha.

She is very technical, active on the forums and Technical Bugs and Issues section as well.

I think I should be considered, because of the fact that it's a MOBA game and I've got many experiences with the game genre. I've been playing MOBA games for a long time now and I am sure that all the Alpha users will help the game get better and hopefully get the top spot on the app stores.
Good luck to all!
Best of luck to the game Spacetime!

As much as I would love to play in the alpha I don't class my self as the best of the best so I will just wait for beta testing and let the best players shape this game into something so awesome that no other moba will be able to compete

Gonna start by saying that i am not even remodeled close to being a top pvp player in AL, so Im just hoping someone somewhere cast a lucky spell on me or something, but worth a shot to try to get in to the alpha XD

I will be trying to Apply for the lowest tier.
I would without a doubt say that when there is a new game, and nobody has played it before, i will be a precious alpha player.
I am a Quick learner, so alphas are my thing, although I can not guarantee i will be keeping up when the really Skilled players start to come after game release.
Although i am certainly not a profilic arcane legends pvp player, and i do not find dota or league of legends funny (i always run in to AFK/trolling teams) so i don't know what rank i would be, I can still without a doubt say that i am good/okay at PvP.
In AL i might not be geared, because farming is not really my thing, but i still get a fair amount of kills the few Times i pvp.
Lastly, i will be honest, i do not understand technology and WHY bugs happen. But i have brains enough to see the bugs and report them anf what (for an example) skill caused it.
As for time, unless you plan to drag this alpha out and not release until late summer i have all the time in the world!
(Device: iPad Air)

What i think should be reasons people qualify:
Have been with STS for around a year or more, adds to trustworthiness
Must have a decently good name, someone people know of
Must NOT be the best at pvp, but needs to be qualified enough to learn the game quickly

Also, IF THEY WANT you should invite safiras,casperox,arrowflr
Some of the most Skilled fellas i have seen in AL, (WOW totally a coincidence that they are guildies the 3 of them, its really weird right??)
and if they want to be alphas, they deserve it.

And just because they are cool and have SHARP eyes and brains, i recommend zylx,ruizhe,obee (ofcourse, if they want)

Edit: i started playing gain glory yesterday, a friend recommended it and i thought "a little bit moba experience"
I love it so far, my average KDR in a match is like 7 kills 5 Death 2 assist, and i really love the MOBA aspect Where ganging is a strategy, and your team really have to cooperate go win. MOBA experience? CHECK.

I think i should be chosen cause i have no past experiences with mobas & i dont like them much either. So if you need the pov of someone that picks the game up for the first time knowing nothing about moba mechanics etc, this should be the average/casual gamer, the ones that are neither fanatics nor passionate about mobas and you have to convince to play your game, i would be glad to help.

This is not my first time doing tests for games either. I recently completed a alpha test for a newly developed mobile moba just like Call of Champions called "Heroes of Soulcraft" with short matches & the goal of becoming a successful mini moba.

I think I should be considered Eligible for a few reasons.

1. I am a very old member of Pocket legends

2. I have a lot of free time allowing me to be able to play this game everyday.

3. I am a very active pvper.

4. I can test a Both platforms

5. I am capable of recording and have begun testing editing out

Ps. I got a little money to spend :playful:


In all fairness, I am probably one of many thousand non-eye catching applicants. But i hope i get the invite

Here is Why You Guys Should Consider Placing Me In a Tier

Hello! I have played every legends game since day one including pocket legends (founder) and I have beta and alpha tested many console games since 2006!! I am very great at reporting bugs, notifying the developers about issues, and helping people get to know the game a lot better. I currently have a lot of free time on my hands and would love to alpha test this game and help make it better for the community and I would love to see this game rise to the top. I also have experience with testing MOBA games such as blizzards Hero of the Storm alpha in which I have helped them report issues from the beginning to the end of the stage.

Here are Some Diverse Games I Have Alpha and Beta Tested

I helped bungie and beta tested halo 3 and alpha tested destiny. I was a participant in EPIC games gears of war 3 beta, and the battlefield 3 and battlefield hardline beta which was great for helping contribute to the community. I am trying to alpha test blizzards new game in a year called "overwatch", a FPS , hopefully and this game would be great to test!

I Have Tested Different Types of Games Including Console Games and PC

I would be honored to help you guys out as I have been a big legends fan since the beginning! :) CoC sounds like a game with a lot of potential and I know you guys could use someone like myself who has a lot of experience testing games like MOBAS, FPS, and third person shooters.

I Currently Play Competatively on Console and Pc games

Regarding competitiveness, I have played pocket legends competitively throughout a course of 3 years and it has been a blast! I played gears of war 1 competitively in 2006-2010, participated in console tournaments and 5v5 games against the new developer team black tusk who is making the xbox one game gears of war 4 which is a great 3rd person shooter.

I am an Experienced Alpha and Beta Tester

Overall, I have great experience with all types of games and I can relate very well to MOBA's and will do whatever it takes to help make Call of Champions a bug-free awesome game!

I would be perfectly fine with any Tier 1,2 or even 3.

Thanks!

I'd like to join in on this extravaganza. I'll play based on what you guys need! I'm good at finding bugs (as seen with a couple of deleted threads (-_-) Lol and I can be either a casual gamer, just pick up the game on the go, or I can be an elite hard core gamer. I've been around spacetime enough to know how versatile the range of gaming is therefore, if chosen, I'm going into this epic battle expecting nothing, learning as I go, and achieving victory! I hope that was motivating enough to pick me because waiting until the summer, which us military personell don't get anyways, is not ideal.

As far as how people are picked I feel it should be a major mixup. It should consist of elite pvpers, members who have been a part of the community for a long time as well as some newer members. I don't know much about the development of games which is why I leave that up to you guys, but I do figure it would be practical to test the game the same way it will be played. Without having one certain group of people playing.

Edit: I have a galaxy s5 and am Platinum League in LOL
Another Edit: I can easily put 8hrs a day into this game and on weekends literally all day and all night

My reason of eligibility:
I have played other MOBAs in the past like "Heroes of Order and Chaos" (and "Smite" for a while..)
I understand what MOBAs are, and how they are played (i.e. two teams face each other in PvP fights. Each team must destroy the other team's "base" in order to win the game.

My PvP Experiences:
In PL, I have always played Archer. Over the times I have played PvP in PL, I've met many great PvP'ers (such as Bless), who gave me tips and strategies on beating the opponent team's team members. Sometimes, when my team members tell me to help them "spawn kill" others, I refused to join their Spawn Killings. Sometimes, when the other team has less players than my team, I volunteer to "sit" (stay at respawn room, and not attack anyone) until the other team and my team have equal members.
I've had experience with game content testing (i.e. the AL Testing clients on Android OS for testing new content like Winter Event, Planar Tombs, Planar Arena, and Necropolis (Halloween) Event). I understand the purpose of these tests are to find out glitches/bugs and notify the developers, as well as give suggestions about the game.
Lastly, I have been a player of STS games since May of 2010, I understand and agree to follow the STS Terms of Service (includes In-Game ToS), and the STS Forum Rules.

My skills outside of gaming:
I've wrote a guide for new AL Players (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?194412-The-New-Player-s-Guide-To-Arcane-Legends), a guide for understanding how to use the Forums (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?173370-New-To-Forums-Not-Sure-How-To-Do-Something-Read-This-Guide!), as well as a guide on receiving platinum after completing NativeX offers (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?164423-Guide-Not-Receiving-your-NativeX-Platinum-See-this-Thread-Guide)
I am knowledgeable in programming (Java (currently in AP Computer Science), C++ (Learned some of it from a class I took over 2014 summer), HTML/CSS, Javascript) and may be able to give suggestions for implementations with pseudocode (not sure if this will help improve my chances at joining Alpha)

People I recommend: Roberto077 (Youtube: Terrainrob)
I recommend him because I've seen the videos that he posts on his Youtube channel of the matches and he has a lot of skill when fighting League of Legends matches. He has also been an awesome member of the community, and one of the nicest people I know

Criteria:

I think the Criteria should be based on:
1. Experience with MOBAs
2. Experience with PvP games
3. Good understanding of how alpha and/or beta tests work
4. Understand, agree, and follow the STS Terms of Service
5. Nice/Respectful of others (i.e. no insults/trash talking)

i d like to use this spot to recommend: ravagerx and shinytoy.

why?

i met both in pvp and both always showed an exceptional sense in fairness by either sitting or switching sides if necessary without big ego issues.
both have a very deep understanding of the in-game mechanics and not only try to improve this knowledge, but generally share their insights with the community. also, (to my knowledge) they stay out of every guild war and drama issues. i think these are exactly the qualities you should be looking for in alpha testers for the next big pvp thing.

(this is coming from someone who only pvps one or two days every month exactly because of trashtalk, drama, and balance issues).

From the MOBAs I've played in the past, the camera is fixed, meaning that it cannot move



Sorry for the double post

In addition to the "best of the best", I think newcomers of the MOBA genre should be considered. When this game is released, you'll have many experienced MOBA players flocking to the game, but many, many more who are new to MOBA's, and if you don't have a solid integration for these players, you won't be as successful as you should.

I have never played a MOBA before in my life, and that is why i believe I should be considered for alpha testing. Silly, right? Well, if I end up among the best of the best, then it means you were able to integrate or to teach a newcomer into playing like a "champion" (forgive the pun lol). If I feel out of place, I will let you know "hey I don't get this" or "hey, this concept is really confusing". Afterall, I'm going into the game with as much understanding of CoC as the "best of the best", aren't I? I have as much understanding of PvP as the "pros" do, as I have twinked a lot. PvP in AL is very simple, yet since everything is now gear-based, people confuse "pro" with "best geared". Since there is no gear in CoC, I know everyone will have a chance. I will be having weekdays free for the next few months, so I will have a lot of free time testing this game.

I am very competitive. I simply don't like to lose ;). I will play my heart out and do my very best, just as i do with every competition I've ever been in. In Arcane Battlegrounds, i managed to hold a spot within the top 10 for a few months. I am a very good goal-setter too. I went from 500 gold to 5 million gold in the first day of this easter egg event in AL. When I have something to work for, I will go after it like a police dog after a felon drug lord. If you consider me for Alpha, I will make it my goal to do my very best and to shape the game into what it needs to be.

I have been proactive in this community for nearly 2 years. I have reported numerous bugs and positively suggested many improvements for AL. I am very intelligent, and a quick-thinker. I will suggest postive ideas as soon as they come to mind. I will be very active in the CoC community as well. I have created many helpful guides and organizations to help new player grow more accustomed to AL and when CoC gets released, I will welcome new players with guides and organizations to help them learn what I've learned, further growing that newcomer base! I've also suggested ideas to help the community become closer together. I am always chock-full of ideas. I love STS, even though I am very critical about things. I want to make sure that CoC will be among the best games on mobile for sure.

I really hope you consider me for Alpha.

My suggestion on what the criteria for selection should be:

-Active Community Member
-Experienced Spacetime Games Player (at least 2 years)
-Genuine Interest in CoC
-Proactive in Reporting Bugs and Issues
-Quick to Provide Brilliant Ideas and Suggestions

Question: Do we have to live near Austin, TX to be eligible to be a Alpha tester?

No you do not! Although if you do, we'll probably have a couple of local events.

This is awesome folks, please keep up the nominations, but we'd also like to know how YOU would decide who gets in? What criteria should we be using to evaluate?

Much appreciated,

EDIT: Reworking this...

I was involved in the Pocket Legends forums for about 2 years while being part of the in-game community since 2010. I have learn a vast amount of both PvP and PvE strategy which carried over into strong decision making and communication in other games such as League of Legends, a game which I started playing for the first time in August of 2011 and became an active player in 2012.

Before I started played either League of Legends or the Legends series, I excelled in the Halo franchise both in memorizing spawn timers of power weapons and map movement/rotations. After awhile I moved onto the mobile gaming since it was more accessible for multiplayer. I played Modern Combat 2 on a highly competitive level (although professional play didn't exist in the game) by participating in clan events ran on a chatting app called Palringo.

(Gameplay my friend recorded when a bunch of the best players joined our public game): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g54DeUkWmhU

In the transition from 2012 to 2013 I rose to the top of the PvP lockdown leaderboards in Spiral Knights for 3 weeks straight. I eventually joined the guild called Guild known for being good for no reason. Eventually someone hacked my account somehow and did some stupid stuff so I stopped playing.

I picked up League of Legends in 2011 when my friend told me to play a game. I really enjoyed what I played but I did not have a computer at the time, so in 2012 I started playing occasionally when I felt like it (like once a week/month). Going into my freshman year of high school I started playing a lot more due to a high population of players at my school. By the end of the year I had grown knowledgeable at every role and position and placed in Silver I on my first provisional series (going 7-3). During the mid season I started studying up on the professional scene being a fan of CLG until I learned hotshotgg was no longer a player for them. I switched to being a TSM fan because of a video my friend showed me of Dyrus back in 2011.

The next split I was placed in Bronze I going 5-5 in provisional games which made me rethink my play and practice in normals before I got into ranked again. During the time I placed a series of Ranked 5s with my team youallsuckpootis where I played a majority of a support style jungler (going sightstone second item for deep vision). We ended up winning 4 out of 5 of the R5 provisional games scoring 3 pentakills in the process. After about 4 months of being inactive in solo queque ranked, I decided I should go for gold before school started or the season ended. I won 22 games in a row, then lost 1, then won my next 10 to get into Silver I. I hit gold soon after (due to a delay for school work).

2014 Season Ranked Stats: http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/30975887#ranked-stats

My friends normally put me in the marksmen/ADC position, but I love playing tanks and AD melee assassins. I have played every single champion in the game (besides teemo and shaco because 666) and have no main champion because I play everything.

I was accepted into the fairly but not entirely exclusive beta environment for League of Legends where players who apply to have their account reviewed may be eligible to test out experimental and new updates before other players to give feedback on the changes. I normally log on when there is a new feature to learn the ins and outs before the release to get a sense of how it will impact the community on release. For example, bard, awful champion, but many suggestions came about as to how to fix his kit.

For suggestions on people I think would be good Alpha testers, Ruizhe and Zeus. Zeus because he has literally been in dozens of the best PvP guilds (why? we will never know) and Ruizhe because he posts a lot on the forums and has been involved in the game and community for a long time now. I don't know many PvP players from AL because I never really liked the combat system of AL in PvP. On that note, if the mechanics are generally the same, count me out of the alpha xD I would also recommend considering Zapoke because he is very good at LoL and was a talented PvPer in the legends games.

Different possible helping credits... I was accepted into the TESO beta although I couldn't play due to limited scheduling. I love recording, editing, and streaming videos. I have a 73% win-rate in the ARAM game mode of LoL with over 200 games played (of ARAM alone).

EDIT: I feel like the considerations should be done as private messages, honestly. I felt really weird typing background with other experiences in a forum. I felt the same thing when applying to the Ambassador program back in the day

Good luck on the tests and I hope the game is going fantastically :D

Understood. We'd like this to be a fairly open process so people can see, discuss, and shape how we narrow things down. That being said, of course you can PM with more details if you prefer to keep them private.

Thanks!

Much appreciated,

-in-depth knowledge of current in-game mechanics.

-curiosity to learn and test new things.

-willingness to share the knowledge with the community and devs (yes, even if that hurts the devs)

-drama free personality, not engaging in guild wars

-generally known for fairness with a clean history in pvp and pve (not a scammer or beggar).

-contributing to the community as guild master or officer over a long period (these people have seen it all...)

I am in! I think people who have great ability of understanding mechanics of the game must be eligible. I also think people who share knowledge regularly, give tips and is NOT afraid of loosing his top 1 ranking because he shares his tips are the people to bring in. Basically, people on forums are very informed! Forums has benn the best communication system ever.

Here are my criterias idea:

Willing to be part of the Alpha Test: A player must want to be part of the test. If he has no interrest in the new game, there is no reason to include that player. He might just take a vacant place.

Must be a forum member: The best way to share informations and communicate is forums. STS forums is nothing like other forums. The amount of stories and finding that have been shared here is humongous. Being part of the forums doesn't mean simply reading the threads, it means putting his personal opinion. Those opinions are the pioneers of great ideas.

Great understanding of mechanics: A player must be able to understand the game's mechanics. If he follows the instructions wisely and correctly but ends up with a problem, he will understand that it's probably a bug. Sharing it with others will help specify the bug together. Each of us sees a face of the reality and we will share it all. But why "understanding mechanics"? Because this does the difference between a person who doesn't read the instructions well... and a careful reader. It's someone who links problems helping us find the real source.

Shares tips: This willl differenciate bad players and nice ones. Greedy players and equal ones. Sharing tips means mastering the skill, it means knowing the real combo and why how the combo works.

Reports bugs: We're testing a game. Basically finding bugs to avoid any abuse. Players must be able to detail those reports saying how they are replicated and when.

Tests features: A player who tests features is a player who doesn't look for bugs, he finds them. Iff something is not working well, he will find them. Test a specific feature means knowing how the feature works, aswell as all the components and things related to it.

Contribute in tests: If you didn't find a test idea, contribute to other test ideas. It's the least a player can do. Alpha test doesn't mean that everyone involved will find bugs, many will contribute only.

Leadership: Leadership is the most important thing we're looking in this Alpha test. The real top players are the ones who lead their team. A team of leaders is OP. A team of followers... is behind... following.

Experience with MOBA / PvP games: Having knowledge with other MOBA or PvP games is a very good point. CoC is maybe not same as those games but it's a good startpoint for the Titans!

Curiosity: I put curiosity a part because it doesn't only fuel the will of finding bugs, it feeds the will of experimenting this new game. We're not here to simply find bugs, we're here to have some good fun and try a new game! Give feedback and give suggestion for improvements! It's a CHALLENGE for STS because they have to satisfy these players. These players are the ones who see CoC from below. You don't want to deceive these people :3 Bring them in!

ToS, respect and titles: Players in this Alpha Test are given a high consideration and respect. They must respect the ToS and explain them. They have good interaction with other players. They must show respect and professionalism. He must have integrity. He must be smart and know when and how to answer people.


Why you should consider me in:
- I've been sharing all my founds and tips. I've been informing all new players met in game. I've been encouraging players to ask question and ask for advice. I've been encouraging players to visit forums.
- I always report bugs and everything that needs to be reported. I've been sniffing (like a beagle nose) many scamming attempt to find bugs. I can't really show it because I started playing AL and SL a bit late. Let's say that they all have been discoverer before me.
- I have great relationship with players and forums. Always trying to joke (even if some are not funny ;-; ) and trying to have some fun and involve everyone in my hilarious circus.
- I play regularly and daily. (Good point)
- For PvP, I never reached the best gear yet in AL but I did excel in some PvP games on other platforms. (Runescape and Super Smash Bros mostly - Not MOBA but still PvP and team fighting)
- I also want to highlight my creativity for improvement ideas. You hear and you'll HEAR about meh!
- I am very curious about this new MOBA and I want to try it out!
- I am the kind of player who searches information and shares it to ALL. I admire Madnexx for his job actually, would love to follow his lead and become like him or better :)
- I also have a motivation, like many people here: I've seen players being nominated StarGuard and Guardian of Alterra, I am sure I can fill up your expectations (Be what you want to be). Yes I am Jelly (bad point)
- I will be a big honor for me to be part of the Legend Class, aiming to reach the Titan class. (I will bare that title with honor and keep proving it)
- I want to highlight the fact that I've been participating in ALL events since I "restarted" playing AL this January. You have great ideas and I'd like to see more and give my nickel too.
- I have followed the Twitch sessions, especially these two: 8-Bit; Lovecraft event (not PvP for school reasons)
- Gaming experience: Runescape top 80k player (in 2m players LB), Capped AL and SL, Super Smash Bros Melee, League of Legends (currently), Clash of Clans (CHAMPION LEAGUE with TH8 doing GoWiPE - Reached top 170 player in canada)
Speaking strategy with weak stuff, I am the man :P

I do have a question:

Are you going to change the people on the Tier's list, or is it just for the release? I mean, is it going to be like a leaderboard that is constantly changing?

I would love the privilege to play alpha for the exclusivity of alpha which is a one time opportunity and I'd love to put my input into what could be changed/different as I play alpha which will shape the game for its full release. Ive had lot of experience in pvp as it was my forte in pocket legends and arcane legends so I can bring that pvp knowledge to the table when playing alpha. My main aim in alpha is to share my ideas and provide feedback to the devs and to help squash those early bugs that may arise.

I mean who woudnt want to play alpha :)

I would love to become an alpha tester :) i am not a top pvper but im sure as hell (not to brag) either decent if not good. I am an undergeared warrior in al, using full legendary gear (and no imbueds) but i have killed people with gear classes a bit higher than mine (myth bow, elon gun, para users) in 1v1 and average players in 1v2(other classes, no tank, usually rogue and mage). I have learned all my skills through experience, and because of that i have a negative kdr on my main toon, but those numbers do not represent my skills. It only represents that im too lazy to make a new toon and fill it up wih pets again as i level it to 41 (like most people do after they get the hang of pvp). Also i am not a fan of most mobas, but the 5 minute gameplay seemed very interesting, i would lpve to see what you can do and achieve in five minutes.

Call of Champions is turning out to be something very special (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/content.php?597-Call-of-Champions-Press-Links). So much so that we have received an overwhelming amount of requests to play as early as possible, most notably from the professional eSport/ competitive gaming community.

As such, Alpha is going to be extremely exclusive and comprised of the Best of the Best. We’ll be announcing it in a couple of weeks, but thought we would give you an early heads up.

Personally, I think this game is amazing. We can’t put it down inside the studio, and we can’t wait to get it into your hands.

We’re opening up Alpha in three tiers over a couple of months:

- Tier 1: Titan Class (30 people total)
- Tier 2: Legend Class (90 people total)
- Tier 3: Hero Class (270 people total)

Alpha access is prestige beyond anything we have offered before. It is far beyond being a Founder. It is as close to being a dev as you can get, because you actively help us shape the game. We’ll have a way in game to permanently show that you were part of this elite group.

Use this thread to tell us why you or others should be considered, discuss possible criteria for getting in, and ask us anything else about the Alpha that you would like to know.

Help us figure out who gets to guide the game to completion. In other words, who among you are PvP Titans?

Thanks for everything and looking forward to our next adventure together!

Some criteria for selection:

-Played at least 2-3 years with StG
-At least tried other games made by StG
-Has a decent reputation on the forums
-Well-known throughout the game/forum
-Has a creative mind for possible suggestions
-Able to play many games over the test to elicit the bugs etc.

In addition to the "best of the best", I think newcomers of the MOBA genre should be considered. When this game is released, you'll have many experienced MOBA players flocking to the game, but many, many more who are new to MOBA's, and if you don't have a solid integration for these players, you won't be as successful as you should.

I have never played a MOBA before in my life, and that is why i believe I should be considered for alpha testing. Silly, right? Well, if I end up among the best of the best, then it means you were able to integrate or to teach a newcomer into playing like a "champion" (forgive the pun lol). If I feel out of place, I will let you know "hey I don't get this" or "hey, this concept is really confusing". Afterall, I'm going into the game with as much understanding of CoC as the "best of the best", aren't I? I have as much understanding of PvP as the "pros" do, as I have twinked a lot. PvP in AL is very simple, yet since everything is now gear-based, people confuse "pro" with "best geared". Since there is no gear in CoC, I know everyone will have a chance. I will be having weekdays free for the next few months, so I will have a lot of free time testing this game.

I am very competitive. I simply don't like to lose ;). I will play my heart out and do my very best, just as i do with every competition I've ever been in. In Arcane Battlegrounds, i managed to hold a spot within the top 10 for a few months. I am a very good goal-setter too. I went from 500 gold to 5 million gold in the first day of this easter egg event in AL. When I have something to work for, I will go after it like a police dog after a felon drug lord. If you consider me for Alpha, I will make it my goal to do my very best and to shape the game into what it needs to be.

I have been proactive in this community for nearly 2 years. I have reported numerous bugs and positively suggested many improvements for AL. I am very intelligent, and a quick-thinker. I will suggest postive ideas as soon as they come to mind. I will be very active in the CoC community as well. I have created many helpful guides and organizations to help new player grow more accustomed to AL and when CoC gets released, I will welcome new players with guides and organizations to help them learn what I've learned, further growing that newcomer base! I've also suggested ideas to help the community become closer together. I am always chock-full of ideas. I love STS, even though I am very critical about things. I want to make sure that CoC will be among the best games on mobile for sure.

I really hope you consider me for Alpha.

My suggestion on what the criteria for selection should be:

-Active Community Member
-Experienced Spacetime Games Player (at least 2 years)
-Genuine Interest in CoC
-Proactive in Reporting Bugs and Issues
-Quick to Provide Brilliant Ideas and Suggestions

Edited :)

We PVP in AL everyday, break down the game, submit bug reports in the Technical Bugs and Issues section of AL and are very active in the AL forums.

Please also consider Serancha.

She is very technical, active on the forums and Technical Bugs and Issues section as well.

I'd love to add a female gamers perspective and be a part of the Alpha group! I have been playing AL for 2 years now on a daily basis. I love PvP and it is a big part of my game play in AL. I am involved in in-game player testing of bugs and always enjoy helping out.

Hello Gary,

I wish to be considered for the Alpha access because of the following:

1. In all of your games, excluding DL, I have been hardcore into PvP & have established many effective techniques for the classes that I have played in your various games.
2. I analyze game mechanics & try to figure out the reason why a bug is being caused rather than merely addressing the bug. This is so to help developers locate the source and fix the problem more efficiently.
3. I regularly submit bug reports in the Technical Bugs and Issues section of AL. Anything that requires immediate support, I PM the respective moderators about so they are able to handle the issue in a timely fashion.
4. I've been a loyal, passionate, and hardcore player of STG games for 5 years and counting.
5. I regularly win developer hosted PvP tournaments. In total, I have placed first or second in: 6 tournaments, 4 of them being developer hosted. I mention this not as a boast but as a means to show that throughout your games, I have been referenced as a skilled PvP player.
6. I can play on all platforms: Android, Chrome, iOS
7. I have the hardware required to take videos to highlight important bugs.
8. I have a YouTube Channel with 469 subscribers and 63,000 views.
9. I am highly into PvP and host many of my own developer sponsored tournaments such as the 8-bit Salute CTF tournament or L36 Battle of the Greats CTF Tournament!


On top of this, I am willing to share knowledge because while knowledge may be power, I am also interested who is able to apply knowledge in the most effective manner possible. On top of this, before making these guides, I made sure I was the best if not one of the best in the category so that I do not distribute false knowledge:

Any of the above players are highly skilled and understand game mechanics in AL so I feel that they will be able to do the same in the future. The fact that there is 3 slots will not change my mind about any of these recommendations.

Hello Gary,

I would like to be considers for the Alpha role in the upcoming CoC tests. These are the reasons I feel that I would be an asset. I am an avid AL pvper playing both warrior and rogue. I can honestly say that I have a true understanding and masterful skillset for both offensive and defensive tactics as well as cooperative game play.

Prior to STG I was heavily commited to WoW and EQ both of which chosing to play on pvp servers to satisfy my thirst for competitive 1v 1 and group style battles.

I still play games such as CoD but I prefer the hack and slash style of play over single shooter. This said I love tactical battles.

Above all, I love to play chess at a competitive level. I know this is a board game and some might wonder why I would even mention this. The reason being is I believe the try art to any competitive pvp style game is understanding your opponent. To be able anticipate their moves. The truly elite are able to see the entire game and make strategic moves that position themselves to reign victorious. This type of thinking I believe has allowed me excel at every pvp type of game that I have played.

I have the ability to play at a very active level.

I can play IOS and chrome.

I have the ability to articulate myself in a way that I will be able share detailed constructive feedback to help ensure CoC meets it true potential.

It would be a true honor to part of this first elite group to test this game.

Nominations:

Zeus (rogue), Arrypotta (sorc), Leyskittles (rogue), visa (sorc), night (warrior), Voorg (Sorc), Hell (war)

Although their are many other players that I consider elite pvpers in AL these individuals I believe posses not only a high skillset but above average tactical understanding for pvp.

Questions about the Alpha:
Is this a top-secret operation? Are videos of Alpha gameplay allowed, or do they have to be pre-screened by developers?

Reasons for myself hopefully being in this prestigious Alpha program:
I am a hardcore Pocket Legends player with around 5 years of experience, along with months of experience playing at the top levels in other Mobile MOBAs, including qualifying for the LEV Tournament of Champions, one of the highest level tournaments in another Mobile MOBA. I have experienced the frustrations and joys both playing in a strategized group with mobile MOBAs as well as playing public pick-ups and could provide valuable insight.

I've been an avid STS fan from the start, if you click my sig, you can see 5 years of appreciation combined into one thank you video for the developers of PL.

I also offer a growing YouTube channel with almost 25,000 views in a few months, dedicated almost solely to Legends games, that could be used to help popularize the game among viewers and display high end gameplay to help convince new customers deciding to buy the game and invest time into it. I also have enough time and patience to write well thought out opinions on the game (see my low level twinking guide.) I'm not afraid to offer honest opinions and constructive criticism and would have plenty of spare time to devote to finding bugs, offering opinions, and building further hype for the game.

I am also able to play on both Android and iOS to test for bugs on both platforms if multiple platform capability is a route you take.

(Edit:) I'm more than fascinated by the innovative 5 minute timer system along with the orbs and the power up maze. This adds a depth and dilemma even while diluting aspects of traditional MOBAs to fit the mobile gaming scene.

Thank you.

Recommendations:
Prosecuted (on STS forums)
City (on STS forums)

Probably even better MOBA players than me, some of my best friends in game, and we will play anything 24/7 if we're allowed to do it together!

I'm not the type of person to just sign up for something on a whim, I need to be genuinely interested in what I'm trying to enter myself into. Just like I have a genuine excitement for CoC to launch. I've been supporting StS since April 2010, or five years if you want to make it sound even longer. I watched the development process of every game's launch since PL, and anticipated the wait. Of all those games, I haven't been nearly as excited as I am for CoC. I've been invited by StS to join in on exclusive events in the past, such as AL beta among other things, and having seen the development of every StS launch pan out, I know what leads to the success of games like Arcane Legends. You mentioned Alpha testers getting to shape the game and mold it into its final result, which I did quite a lot of in the early stages of PL. Within the first few months especially, StS would implement ideas made by the community on forums. I can think of several features that were implemented due to myself and others posting threads in the suggestions and feedback section. Myself and many of the other now-gone members have already helped shaped an StS game alongside you guys in PL. Having been committed to StS for so long, I've seen you guys and your games go through the transition into where you are now. Unfortunately, the game I spent a vast majority of those years on is behind us, and because of that, I'm ready to move on and commit my time to a new project. I would love the opportunity to once again help contribute to a game StS developed and poured their efforts into.

As for MOBA experience, mine is rather limited. I have played enough of them to know the basics, but not enough to be deemed as an elite caliber player. As such, I can offer the perspective of a newer player jumping into the MOBA scene, which are some of the people I'm assuming you're trying to hit in the mobile market. I've beta and alpha tested several games in the past, most of which on a mobile platform. I've seen games through various stages of development, so I am able to look past unpolished aesthetics or mechanics to see what direction the game is headed in, and how to improve it to help it get there faster.

I may not be as experienced with MOBAs, but I am incredibly experienced when it comes to PvP, especially the style and tempo you guys like to affiliate. Most of my PvP experience derives from PL, as I began at the release during the 35 cap, and saw many balances and changes in mechanics through that time. I'm comfortable enough to be able to fairly judge mechanics, and isolate things like class balance without having variables such as player skill and tactics intervene. I've amassed nearly six digits worth of kills across various characters, and contributed a lot of my time to learning the intricacies of the game that many players are uninterested in.

I'm very much so anticipating to play CoC. I'm more than willing to take on the responsibilities to help improve the game in Alpha, and would love the opportunity of getting to not only experience, but to assist in yet another StS game growing, and flourishing.

Hey Gary, and STS Staff, I'd like to submit my name into the pile to be an Alpha tester, here's a few reasons why I'd like to be considered.

-Along with many others, I've been playing and supporting Spacetime Games, since Pocket Legends release, and have played every game as they came out, (Aswell as Beta testing AL)

-I've Been gaming across many platforms, (mostly MMO's and PVP oriented games), for over 15 years, (Longer than many of our community have been alive haha :P) and have flourished at every single one of them. PVE wise, and PVP wise, rising to the top quickly in both aspects, and always in the server's #1 guild.

-I believe with my countless livestreams, I've shown that I'm a very competent gamer, and will dedicate a LOT of time towards properly testing the game.

-I'm able to test across all platforms, being Android, iOs, and Chrome. As well as create some video content, with youtube videos, and of course, LIVESTREAMS! :D

-I also have extensive experience playing MOBA's such as LoL, Smite, VainGlory, etc, which I believe to be of greater importance than being a good pvper in a game such as Arcane Legends.



I hope you consider me as an Alpha Tester, I look forward to continuing to help the Spacetime community grow, as I have the past several years.


Cheers! -Zojak

You can check out my Youtube channel for AL started 7 days ago.

and yea '"Pro Player'" that means a lot and there are a good number of bunch of them in game and on forums...and they are the ones who gonna make up the pride of the game and strive it to be good.

I may not be one of the "Pro Player" but I really wanna be and it takes a lot of hard work and time.

Sorry I was not more clear.

Diamond tier refers to an elite level of player in League of Legends.
4000+ MMR is a similar rating system in DotA.

Both of these are traditional PC MOBAs (Mobile Online Battle Arena). Call of Champions has similar mechanics, but distilled way down. Similar to what we did with Pocket Legends from PC MMOs.

We've been talking with a few organizations with these types of folks, so this is who we'll be matching you up with :)

4000+ MMR is a similar rating system in DotA

I meant as in is "External Folks" as in people who don't play STS games? or is this meaning a requirement that Alpha Testing applicants have to be LoL Diamond Tier?

While I agree with your idea, i suggest everyone has to fight with lvl starter gear (because some AL players will be better geared than others, and will give the better geared PvP'ers a better chance at getting a spot in the Alpha Testing)

At end of day what matter is "SKILL"...not gear to my opinion.

i am not an expert of mobas, but in the few i tested, all players start on the same level each game and have to evolve with the items / facilities on the map. choosing the right balance between offense/defense and developing the character is the key to win the match.

That's exactly what happens in DOTA.

if we have the skill and knowledge on leveling up the toon through the match and equip the correct items then it's the great to just nail the game.

This happens in Heroes of Order and Chaos aswell.
Personally, I like this way of playing. Every player has an equal chance at fighting and later winning a match.

Call of Champions is turning out to be something very special (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/content.php?597-Call-of-Champions-Press-Links). So much so that we have received an overwhelming amount of requests to play as early as possible, most notably from the professional eSport/ competitive gaming community.

As such, Alpha is going to be extremely exclusive and comprised of the Best of the Best. We’ll be announcing it in a couple of weeks, but thought we would give you an early heads up.

Personally, I think this game is amazing. We can’t put it down inside the studio, and we can’t wait to get it into your hands.

We’re opening up Alpha in three tiers over a couple of months:

- Tier 1: Titan Class (30 people total)
- Tier 2: Legend Class (90 people total)
- Tier 3: Hero Class (270 people total)

Alpha access is prestige beyond anything we have offered before. It is far beyond being a Founder. It is as close to being a dev as you can get, because you actively help us shape the game. We’ll have a way in game to permanently show that you were part of this elite group.

Use this thread to tell us why you or others should be considered, discuss possible criteria for getting in, and ask us anything else about the Alpha that you would like to know.

Help us figure out who gets to guide the game to completion. In other words, who among you are PvP Titans?

Thanks for everything and looking forward to our next adventure together!

So, are the SXSW winners a part of the Titan testing group?

I am in! I think people who have great ability of understanding mechanics of the game must be eligible. I also think people who share knowledge regularly, give tips and is NOT afraid of loosing his top 1 ranking because he shares his tips are the people to bring in. Basically, people on forums are very informed! Forums has benn the best communication system ever.

Here are my criterias idea:

Willing to be part of the Alpha Test: A player must want to be part of the test. If he has no interrest in the new game, there is no reason to include that player. He might just take a vacant place.

Must be a forum member: The best way to share informations and communicate is forums. STS forums is nothing like other forums. The amount of stories and finding that have been shared here is humongous. Being part of the forums doesn't mean simply reading the threads, it means putting his personal opinion. Those opinions are the pioneers of great ideas.

Great understanding of mechanics: A player must be able to understand the game's mechanics. If he follows the instructions wisely and correctly but ends up with a problem, he will understand that it's probably a bug. Sharing it with others will help specify the bug together. Each of us sees a face of the reality and we will share it all. But why "understanding mechanics"? Because this does the difference between a person who doesn't read the instructions well... and a careful reader. It's someone who links problems helping us find the real source.

Shares tips: This willl differenciate bad players and nice ones. Greedy players and equal ones. Sharing tips means mastering the skill, it means knowing the real combo and why how the combo works.

Reports bugs: We're testing a game. Basically finding bugs to avoid any abuse. Players must be able to detail those reports saying how they are replicated and when.

Tests features: A player who tests features is a player who doesn't look for bugs, he finds them. Iff something is not working well, he will find them. Test a specific feature means knowing how the feature works, aswell as all the components and things related to it.

Contribute in tests: If you didn't find a test idea, contribute to other test ideas. It's the least a player can do. Alpha test doesn't mean that everyone involved will find bugs, many will contribute only.

Leadership: Leadership is the most important thing we're looking in this Alpha test. The real top players are the ones who lead their team. A team of leaders is OP. A team of followers... is behind... following.

Experience with MOBA / PvP games: Having knowledge with other MOBA or PvP games is a very good point. CoC is maybe not same as those games but it's a good startpoint for the Titans!

Curiosity: I put curiosity a part because it doesn't only fuel the will of finding bugs, it feeds the will of experimenting this new game. We're not here to simply find bugs, we're here to have some good fun and try a new game! Give feedback and give suggestion for improvements! It's a CHALLENGE for STS because they have to satisfy these players. These players are the ones who see CoC from below. You don't want to deceive these people :3 Bring them in!

ToS, respect and titles: Players in this Alpha Test are given a high consideration and respect. They must respect the ToS and explain them. They have good interaction with other players. They must show respect and professionalism. He must have integrity. He must be smart and know when and how to answer people.


Why you should consider me in:
- I've been sharing all my founds and tips. I've been informing all new players met in game. I've been encouraging players to ask question and ask for advice. I've been encouraging players to visit forums.
- I always report bugs and everything that needs to be reported. I've been sniffing (like a beagle nose) many scamming attempt to find bugs. I can't really show it because I started playing AL and SL a bit late. Let's say that they all have been discoverer before me.
- I have great relationship with players and forums. Always trying to joke (even if some are not funny ;-; ) and trying to have some fun and involve everyone in my hilarious circus.
- I play regularly and daily. (Good point)
- For PvP, I never reached the best gear yet in AL but I did excel in some PvP games on other platforms. (Runescape and Super Smash Bros mostly - Not MOBA but still PvP and team fighting)
- I also want to highlight my creativity for improvement ideas. You hear and you'll HEAR about meh!
- I am very curious about this new MOBA and I want to try it out!
- I am the kind of player who searches information and shares it to ALL. I admire Madnexx for his job actually, would love to follow his lead and become like him or better :)
- I also have a motivation, like many people here: I've seen players being nominated StarGuard and Guardian of Alterra, I am sure I can fill up your expectations (Be what you want to be). Yes I am Jelly (bad point)
- I will be a big honor for me to be part of the Legend Class, aiming to reach the Titan class. (I will bare that title with honor and keep proving it)
- I want to highlight the fact that I've been participating in ALL events since I "restarted" playing AL this January. You have great ideas and I'd like to see more and give my nickel too.
- I have followed the Twitch sessions, especially these two: 8-Bit; Lovecraft event (not PvP for school reasons)


I do have a question:

Are you going to change the people on the Tier's list, or is it just for the release? I mean, is it going to be like a leaderboard that is constantly changing?

UPDATED. I also bring this here because no one answered to my question ( ._.)

I would very much enjoy looking into aspects of the new game :)
I have over a year and half spent in straight pve for AL, and recently quite a few months in high spent twink pvp (Level 15)
I could take a peek at both aspects of either part of the game (Being the game mechanics or the feel of playing). It would a great honor to be a contribution to the game itself and the devs all around :)

I have a few questions:

1.) How long do you expect the alphas to last?
2.) Will we need an android/non-apple device to run the alpha since Apple does not allow pre-release software or 3rd party programs?
3.) Will private gameplay (unlisted on youtube) videos be viewable to give input on certain aspects of the game if people who were not accepted to play still want to give feed back on ability kits and such? League of Legends (Riot games) normally posts a pre-release information page on each new champion so players can review the kits and suggest adjustments even if they were not accepted to participate in the PBE (public beta environment).


Absolutely not! But it would be pretty awesome if you were :)

Sadly the ranking system of games like League of Legends aren't too accurate. Players who play normal games a ton can be just as good as a player with a Diamond logo.. or even much better... As a great vlogger once said (Sky Williams), "people with a little time and a lot of skill will never make it as far as someone with a lot of time and a little skill." I would post a link to his video but he tends to say words against the ToS so I wont.

Seems that I have jumped the gun kind of late.

I have been a part of the STS community from the start - way before most of the devs. I have experienced and succeeded as an "elite" PvPer in PL so to say, and have a great understanding of the community and how to do what's best for it. I have won both team and individual tournaments, so I know what the competitive gameplay really consists of. I have played and thrived in all the legends games (though I stuck with PL because I feel it delivers the best PvP).

I have hosted a large number of PvP tournaments - all of them including end game tournaments. I'm still asked today to host them because I have a great sense of what is fair and what is balanced. I believe I can help out the devs purely with this cause and decide what would be most fun.

Man, I love this community. I want to give back - even though it's not PL, I want to support the PL community and other gaming communities.

I hope I can be considered for this. I know there are a lot of people asking to join - and if I don't get this, it's all good. The game will be just as fun to play as it will to participate in Alpha.

:)


Otherwise if I were to nominate others, it would be Angeldawn and Shiloo. They are, and will always be the best community members (imo) that this community has ever had. Angel has never let anyone down. Gary, I know you are very familiar with the two of them. If there are two must need, responsible and loyal individuals who are "beast" PvP players who understand what this community needs, it's Angeldawn and Shiloo.

Hey Gary, you should consider me because I have experience in breaking games intentionally. I have been a part of numerous alpha/beta tests that required me to not just play the game for fun, but actually try to break the game and file error logs. Now, I also know how MOBA's work and I love to play them (DOTA anyone?). I am by no means one of the best PvPers around here, but if you want me to break your game, give feedback, and help found this new community, then i'm your man. Oh, and i've been here to found just about every game you have released, i've stuck around and stayed with this community while players like KingRichie and Banned have moved on.


Cinco if you're reading this, you're still one of my favorite devs.



EDIT: A cool way to get the game out there even more and get some really good feedback would be to get a professional MOBA team to play the game and record their reactions/thoughts of the game.

1) Alpha will last approximately 2.5 months.
2) We will support both Apple and Android. Preference for higher-end devices. This is because the game is not graphically optimized yet, not because we won't support lower end devices when we ship.
3) Yes, we're still working out exactly where/ when but we do want you to be able to show others what is happening.

These will never change, this prestige will be theirs permanently.

I see myself playing the Alpha I have loved Mobas from day one of finding them out. I have been playing AL for the past year and a half pvping only never pve and I have playing League Of Legends as many say I'm good but I think I'm OK I have played it since season 1 (now going to season6) so for roughly 5 years this is how much I love Moba's I would love to be in Alpha to find bugs report them and to test out the game I been following this since day one!

04-07-2015, 10:34 PM
CoC sounds like an exciting new game, and I'd love to be one of the first people to play it and test it. I believe that I'm a good candidate for Alpha testing because:

1. I'm an active gamer. I game for many hours each day, especially on Arcane Legends.
2. I'm willing to send in bug reports and whatnot. I will fill out any reports for problems, suggestions, etc. easily.
3. I love to PvP I've played PvP in many different games, and I'd love to see what amazing things you've done to make this game unique and something worthwhile playing.

I know I may not be as good of a candidate as some others, but I would really enjoy and actively play in alpha testing if I was given the chance. You would not regret choosing me. :) Either way, whether I get to play before or after its release to the entire public, I will be playing.

This is true about League I have mostly done Normal matches and the special matches such as URF. It is by far my favorite game mode and I have been getting scores such as 21/7/14 or so and yes I have bad games to 2/6 but one thing I will ever do is feed on purpose. I have played against diamond players and been told I should be with them by many because of my knowledge but I will not promote myself cause I can't even carry 1/11 (bronze players) to silver or carry AFK's. (Life of Bronze) I was gold 3 for a season before I had family issues and moving come up and I was demoted to silver 5 in season 3. And in season 4 last season I was 7/3 in preliminary for ranked and got B5 for some unknown rito logic reason its really in accurate.

Thank you Will,

I have played PL since December 2010. And I can honestly say Ghost is one of a handful of people who know and excel at all aspects of Pvp. He is a game changer! Having him on your team is always an advantage. His maturity and great attitude make for a fun time.

As for Angeldawn, not only is she great at Pvp. (Playing daily....every day, hours every day). She is a social networking pro! She knows everyone. Not just their game name, KNOWS them. If you are wanting a great social aspect to the game, Angeldawn is a must have.

I also feel as though I'm among the top of most people's PL Pvp pro list. Entering many tournaments and winning. Being a good teammate is just as important as your solo skills. When fox and rhino where first introduced, I was one of the first to cap and Pvp on fox. Finding the bugs, and excelling with fox before most.

Either way good luck with the testing! Sometimes being a great mechanic means knowing what squeaky wheel needs the grease..... And what ones just need a good tap with a hammer :)

Frankly, I'm not a hardcore PvP player, but I have a vast experience in PvP of Spacetime Studios games and others.
But, I am a Game Data Mining Analyst in my company. I often analyze the various features in the games, how they affect gameplay, and expediency of their further implementation. I think it would be helpful.

And I am a fun of STS games :)

Hello Gary!

I wish to nominate myself for the Alpha testing of CoC! I have PM'd you asking for the details of the release and testing prior to the posting of this thread which shows I am fairly interested in the game. I was the very one who asked if you guys were going to do a MOBA last year, and was enthused to find some *shifty eyes* here and there :)

As for some my accomplishments:
Started playing Arcane Legends (my first STS game) in December of 2012.
My team (Karma) has won the 2014 Summer TDM tournament hosted by the developers and moderators of this company.
As of last year, I had considered myself (and I'm sure many others could vouch) one of the top mages in the PvP category.
I have been an active forums member for over a year with only a few infractions. ;)
I have written up several guides on Mage PvP as well as giving out some random pointers such as the use of Gale Force, which is pretty popular in PvP right now (am I the founding father of Gale? :O)
I have been playing League of Legends (a well known MOBA) for years now, successfully being placed in rank Platinum V (an MMR of 1805, to be exact) as of last season (currently Gold I).
Casual player of Vain Glory, a popular mobile MOBA game.
Even to this day, I PvP using an expedition rifle and pathetic mythics (since I gave everything away when I left) while others are decked in gear to the max and still manage to get around.

I would also like to mention other potential nominees for their skill in PvP (last I checked):
Zeus, Shinytoy, Seven, Arrypotta, Bully, Zephy (Volt), Madnex, more tba...

I feel as if this game is just right for me. Anyone who knew me in-game would know that I try my 100% best to stay away from PvE as much as possible, hehe, and I cannot wait for the release of this new MOBA! :encouragement:



For comparison purposes, here are the requirements for external folks asking to get in:

- Diamond tier League of Legends players or 4000+ MMR DotA players
- Highly accomplished eSports athletes/ Twitch broadcasters

Keep it up folks, who are our best?

Haha, whew... diamond tier eh? A bit out of my league.. get it...? Out of my league as in League of Legends :witless:

I would love to nominate some amazing PL players for the CoC alpha. PL development may have stop but the players haven't!

This may be a tad long, sorry :)

John/Shiloo -
Has been playing and been active 4+ years. He's almost as dedicated and loyal as me ;p He has played in many tourneys and has come out victorious. He mastered multiple class. He understands the mechanics and loves sharing his knowledges and helping others improve. He is an amazing person and community leader. He's there for whatever is needed always supportive. He has a flexible schedule so can put in many hours and actually test the game. He speaks up when he finds issues in game. He is an asset to the game and the community.

Will/Ghost -
A Founder and full int mage!!
He has entered and won tourneys, Will hosts so many tourneys and it keeps the PVP community active. He understands the mechanics which makes him a pro at all his classes. He is a great person and community leader. Always speaks up about game and community to try to improve the game we love. More ppl should strive to be like him.

Hahahahabirdy -
Founder, plays MOBAS and won almost every tourney in PL he has ever entered. No need to say more lol

David/Cloaks -
Has played 4+ years and is still going strong! He has won many tourneys. A complete pro on bird, mage and bear.

Chloe/Petrichor -
GoA - still active and one of the best int mages!! She also dominates as a bird ;) She is also the most beautiful and precious tourney winner ever!! Her sweetness and kindness is unmeasurable.

David/Kingfu -
Founder, GoA and winner of multiple tourneys. David is an absolutely brilliant young man. He knows the game inside and out. He is one of my favorite ppl to test things on cuz of his comprehension of mechanics, willingness to help and eagerness to die ;p.

Kevin/Gladiator -
He has played many years and is an absolutely unstoppable bear which is probably why he has won so many tournaments. I actually cringe and cry a little when he joins the opposing team :)

Crash -
Been playing for a few years. He is also a tourney winner. I swear the game glitches when he plays. Even though he only has a two piece, If he's on your team you'll be unbeatable ;)

Tank -
Founder. Amazing pvper and contributing community member. He will spank you with his bird or mage. He cares about people, the community and the condition of the game. He is so loyal and has one of the greatest personalities.



As for myself, hmmmm.
I have been an active player for 4+ years. I have tried all the legend games but PL is my home. I am experienced PVE and PVP. I have played a few tourneys. I am loyal to STS and support them anyway I can. I own my own business and have a very flexible schedule which will allow me to contribute countless hours to the testing :)

I feel that I am extremely active in the community. I hope that by being active in the community and if I get an alpha spot, I can use that knowledge to bring more players to CoC and train players when the game opens. Having someone who is willing teach and help you makes the game more enjoyable. It build those social relationships that keep most of us on PL today. I would like to use the alpha experience to recruit players to CoC. Not just players who currently play STS games, but players who have left or aren't as active anymore. I want to help rebuild the STS community.

I have also been involved in testing a few other games and still play RPGs and MOBAs when I have time. Other MOBAs I have played or tried are LOL, Fates forever, and Vain Glory.




If we can nominate members from the past, who have moved on from PL, I nominate

CrimsonTider -
GoA, host of Tournaments. By far the top community leader!!!

AlwaysDTF -
PVP super star and community leader. Host of Tournaments.

I concur. I'm apprehensive to construct a list myself, largely because I do not want to nominate anyone who isn't willing to contribute their time to this game. I feel as though a genuine excitement and interest in this game is crucial to alpha testing. Until I decide to make one, I'll leave Angel's as a rough version of my own. Since Angel posted an entry of her own displaying interest however, I will say I do agree with both you and Will entirely, and would support her being made an alpha tester.

I think you should let me play Alpha, to provide a noobs-eye view on the game- this kind of feedback will prove invaluable as, although many PVP experts will play, you will have many first-time players as well, and I can advise on the gaming experience from that particular perspective :) I am fully committed to AL as well, I don't hate, I'm reasonable, mature, responsible.. and modest ;)

I would like to be considered for this Alpha PvP play, and I'm also going to take this time to nominate Armourslash. Both of us are Level 76.

We both have been playing for over 4 years (nearly 5 now), so amongst our strong experience and community skills, we've also been PvPing for a VERY long time (over 2 years now), and while I'm not particularly amazing, Armourslash, I would definitely put forward to try out this amazing opportunity, as he is very, very good. He also owns his own "Twink" PvP account, called Twinktime. (Sorry for the tautology).

I also think that I (Fractite) should be put forward - because of the reasons said above - but I also understand the concept of this quick style of play and how to operate and adapt in it, as I've been playing "Heroes of Order and Chaos" to prepare for this opportunity.

I'm also quite a creative person, even though I probably won't be able to put forward any "business" prospects (as I am only 15), I can provide innovative ideas to enhance the game.
Both me and Armourslash are also very active on the PL forums.

Also, both me and Armourslash have been loyal to the games. We have never scammed or said anything rude that could get us banned.

Devices: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (2013 8-inch version) Dual-core 1.5GHz processor, Mali-400.

So I am nominating Fractite and Armourslash for this chance to experience this.

Cheers.

I'm an older game, Generation X'er, been gaming since the 1980's and have lots of time since im on Disability. The game interests me a lot since I enjoy MOBA's. I can play, notice bugs etc and help you develop the game into the finished launch game.

I also can contribute REAL MONEY which as a business, I'm sure you are interested in.

I have written many cool arcane legend gem guide on forum, and i have a youtube channel too with 5494 views, i have a twitch.tv account.
My devices: Motorola Moto X 2014 phone with a 2.5GHz quad core snapdragon 801 processor, and a Nexus 7 2013 tablet.

My in game name is OPEST and I'm in the overall death leaderboard in pocket legends same as I'm in kill leaderboard too.
130104

The numbers are not anything but it just shows how much time I spent in pocket legends arena and how much I'm addicted to it. Not only that I always criticized about pl PvP with solid tips and logic, in fect my purpose of joining forum was to criticize unbalanced things in PvP.

YouTube.com/opiest - is my YouTube channel, where I made a lot pl videos and other game videos too. I get very healthy amount of views each and every day. I'm waiting for the game more eagerly to make videos than just to play. Critizing and suggestion through videos and text is just perfect. My pl videos have been in the first position for term 'pocket legends' and in the top result for the mobile mmo, best mobile mmo keywords etc in YouTube. Though the number of subscriber doest not reflect the views I get at all, as it's new but the way I'm growing it will start to show up :p

Moving forward, I recently quited my part time job, so I'm totally free and will be able to play a new game all day. My android tab quite more than what required i,e - Android 4.1 jellybean, 1 GB RAM, 1.5 GHz dual core cortex A9 neon processor.

Now I should include my weak points too, to make sure that sts don't waste it's precious spot.
I belong to an Asian country so my ping is at 350 but it mostly stable now due to better net I'm getting these days.
Though I can be very active but can't play at mid night, and our mid night is mid day in US.
------------------------
I'm suggesting for a record option in game as it won't be much extra feature since it will have in built twitch broadcast option, this suggestion is for those who can't record, it won't be a problem for me as I still can record but for those, so more and more players will make sts coc YouTube videos.

Some criteria for StS applicants:
1.PvP leader board Player considered first that also have positive KDR
2. Any AL player should have a minimum 20k for or 20k tdm kills and positive kdr
3. If you are applying post your PvP kills proudly here
4. Only end game pvp players considered
5. Describe in detail your previous MOBA experience
6.Must have clean reputation
7. Link recent threads that highlight your ability to grasp game mechanics, bugs that you personally have found, and pvp tournaments you have participated in.

STS I would create a point based system based on these factors and select the highest point players.

For nomination I say Zeus because he is the epitome of a PvP player and he will truly give the feedback you are looking for. He also has enough maturity to take this role humbly and not exploit it in the community. I feel he can be competitive with the other professional gamers you are bringing in for Alpha.

For Alpha it truly needs to be the top PvP players, as you go through the testing then you should include a broader range of gamers with different experiences. Good luck guys!!

While I agree with the point of the message, having a lot of kills or being on a leaderboard does not display much mechanical knowledge. I think forum/tourny backgrounds are more important than statistical background of playing a ton and killing a lot.

There are so many dedicated players for STG..
But there few exceptional in game.. I would prefer Ravagerx,shiny,serancha ,raregem,Kalizza,Avaree, conradev whom i have been around 2 years in AL. Zues too ...even i didnot play with him..I like few posts posted by him.

No sts is bringing in some of the best moba gamers out there. The sts players selected for Alpha truly need to have proven their skills already here with experience in pvp, not just avid formers with low actual pvp experience. I can't wait to see Zeus battle it out with those guys!!!! I'm sure it will be on twitch, we don't want our nabs out there for alpha.

Pvp leaderboard, atleast in AL, is about 80% time, 15% gear, and 5% actual skill.
Not saying that the pvp LB is BAD, just staying that being on the LB for a MMO with hard-to-get gear, with a LB that never resets between seasons, really shows very little of how good you are in a MOBA, it shows more how much time and Money you have.

Oh and also why no twinks? I dont get that part, not even sarcasm or something, i just dont understand why lol

Measuring who should it shouldn't be included based on LB and kills would be an epic fail!

The majority of the LB players are there for one of two reasons. They have simply played this game longer than other and amassed more kills as a result or they were twinks at one point and racked up an enormous amount of kills before moving to the end game. I personally see many players with amazing KDR that have very little skill and never participate in a pro clash.

As Zeus suggested and some else added we should have pvp competition with equal gear to truly show who is the best of the best.

I didn't say only leader board players but it should me a factor because it proves someone has experience. You guys they are bringing in professional gamers. We need stringent criteria of picking out elite few to represent our community.

Anyways I gotta get in the office. My point is that we need to establish some serious guidelines to pick the best pvp people in AL and sts games.

Prahasit Prahi
04-08-2015, 07:58 AM
1) Alpha will last approximately 2.5 months.
2) We will support both Apple and Android. Preference for higher-end devices. This is because the game is not graphically optimized yet, not because we won't support lower end devices when we ship.
3) Yes, we're still working out exactly where/ when but we do want you to be able to show others what is happening.



These will never change, this prestige will be theirs permanently.

Sounds Good though YouTube or Twitch might be some good options as they are the most popular.

A PvP contest that should be like everyone who wanna participate should fight with same gear.

Actually I don't like contest Idea because AL PvP is different for CoC PvP in CoC we level up and fight at the same time and here in AL the one with best gear wins if he plays well.

Rogue with neckro is Immue 90% of times.

Maybe a series of 2vs2 matches with limited gear would be a good Idea to determine the worthy candidates. I think this is faster and easier to organize then full team matches, so a bigger pool of contestants is possible.

Will a tournament in AL even judge how good someone would be at a MOBA? It would seem to me that it would be quite different. It is a death match style gameplay vs. a more strategy minded game, where dying isn't the end all be all.

Guys, keep in mind that this is ALPHA TESTING, not a "can you hang with the Professionals" competition.

The purpose of early alpha testing is to evaluate game mechanics, troubleshoot core gaming issues, provide feedback on gameplay, latency, playability, leveling, enjoyment, etc.

This is not a contest to just to see who is top dog in a pre-release Moba.

As such, players should be selected based on how they can evaluate the metrics and mechanics of the game. This does not exclude AL's top PvP-ers per-se, but stay focused on the purpose of what an alpha test is supposed to be about...

of course it needs both: dedicated pvpers who can give feedback on the skillsystem, balance,... , and proven bug testers who can give qualified feedback on the technical aspects.

not all slots need to be set on a tourney, but maybe a few.

Honestly IMO in AL PvP it is hard to measure who is "pro". You have your kill farmers, gangers and spawners.

I don't think the LB are a sure way to judge who should be able to participate. For example someone who spawned killed their way up on the lb and constantly leaves matches to keep a good K/D ratio proves they are better just because they are on the lb?(I am not saying that all or even half of lb players do this) This leaves the person who actually has deaths and fights out the matches sitting in the corner because they choose not to spawn people and didn't run at the first sign of death.

If there is an AL PvP tourney for this then all the players need to be provided gear from Sts weapon-pendant. No gems allowed and everyone should have to use the same pet (Malison maybe). That puts everyone on equal footing and will give a chance to show true skill vs who has 8 paras, 4 eyes and a nekro.

pretty much why I didn't put much emphasis on AL PvP level of pro in my criterias. We're testing and having fun. there must a ranking aswell. If we're choosing Titans, then let's try to find out who is titan from the beginning!

IMHO, being in a Legends game leaderboard is hardly proof of any PvP experience. Primarily because the lack of moderation (and attention in general) in the previous games has allowed killfarming and botting to go unpunishable. This is coming from lengthy personal experience. Secondly, on AL, because the game is rotating around gear and cliques/guilds controlling the PvP rooms and definitely not skill. Again, this is coming from top-tier geared semi-active player that's been playing AL since s2. Overall, the only thing being on LB shows is that the said player has put in a lot of time. And that's about it.

Moving on to the actual criteria:
-Communication Skills
Anyone willing to participate must be able to effectively communicate with the devs and clearly get their points across. Fluent use of the english language is necessary. For example, forum community leaders are proven to fill this requirement.

-Basic MOBA Experience
CoC is quite a simple game in my opinion hence there's no real need for those heavy DOTa/LoL requirements. I understand there have to be some sort of requirements to cut down the sheer volume of applications though.

-Alpha/Beta Testing Experience
Especially at the beginning of the alpha, there will probably be a need for ample testing in order to assist and provide the devs with suggestions and error reports. This way all those people eager to get their hands on the game will enjoy the finalised product with the least amount of irritating details.



I'd like to nominate GoodSyntax and myself (Madnex). Although my name's been suggested thrice already and got numerous PM's on the topic outside of the game, I'd like to highlight that I'm not (yet) sold by the new game's concept but rather interested in taking part for bug/exploit testing. Been with STS since Q2 of '11. Here's a few topics we've made to showcase the in-depth, analytical look we take on game mechanisms:

But really it is Kali, they already hosted a live tourney and streamed it!!!! I think the bug squashing is only a part of it. I think for 'alpha' you need player with two things: 1. Ability to PvP and learn these skills quick and 2. Ability to communicate in a productive way back to the devs. When they open the rest of the testing then you can have a broader mix of players testing for enjoyment, etc.

Hey if you want to get in on the Alpha I am 100% behind you on it Kali you would be AMAZING!!!! I just didn't put your name down because I wasn't sure on your time frame to commit to it.

When it's PvP nab time I want in though, lol.

StS if you guys host a PvP tournament for who gets Alpha WHOOO!!!!!!!! That would be so awesome. Really fun stuff. I see two things to consider:

1. Make requirements for who can enter. For example X amount of kills already in PvP, positive KDR, and a certain amount of forum posts
2. Level the playing field. You will have to allow the tourney to run w/ limited arcanes so it's fair. You know how it goes! Prolly no nekro or SnS either, that totally throws those games.

Picking the best of best as it relates to skill in pvp for this test is essential. STG needs to not only workout potential bugs but determine potential tweaks and adjustments based on the highest level of game play. If the ones testing the game struggle with adapting to the game itself it will be near impossible to determine where game play related tweaks need to be made.

Hey,

The posts above me have suggested a tournament with STS-sponsored gear to determine who are really the reigning champions. But what kind of tournament will it be? 1v1? Clash? If a team game, does one pick teams and the winning team move on?

Personally if there is to be a tourney I'm all in favor of clashes. 1v1s are too unpredictable. There is the set class balance rules, first of all - Mage > Rogue > Warrior > Mage. And class vs class wouldn't be much fun. Mage vs. mage 1v1 is basically who crits more now if equal geared. Same with rogue vs. rogue. Warrior vs. warrior let's not even go into. Those of us who PvP know how fun that is.

But the idea of a tournament to pick out the winners appeals to me. Suppose we all get to pick our teams and get gear sponsored by STS (nothing that exists outside the game. Perhaps imbueds, planar amulet, arcane ring, etc. - and on the other end of the spectrum, full commons) and no pet. Hell, suppose the participants get to play in the test server so they cannot keep their gear or use other ones. Then we could have a regular tournament. The winning team and the runner up could proceed to the Alphas.

And then there should be restrictions to enter, like you have to be voted by the community based on your achievements, how well you handle bug reports, your prowess in PvP, your KDR, how strong you are in PvP regardless of gear disadvantages/advantages, and so on.

--

I won't kid myself and nominate myself here, lol. I know I'm not very good at PvP at all and I don't mind. I also know I don't have the time and/or dedication to put hours into testing for a new game in its development stages. Nor do I have a good mobile device to play fast paced games (which is why I only ever play AL on PC).

I choose to nominate the following players who are, in my opinion, outstanding performers in AL, both in understanding game mechanics and reporting bugs.


Kalizza (GoodSyntax)
Asphy (Madnex)
Ravagerx
Serancha


And no offense to the more popular choices I haven't picked...they'll probably get into alpha regardless of whether or not I hop into the bandwagon! :rolleyes:

Hosting a tournament would do three things:

1. Show who really holds up to their application's words. Anyone can write - action is quite another story.
2. Show who is willing to put in the effort towards Alpha testing.
3. Alleviate some of the boredom before the new expansion release!

Hi Justg and Spactime! It's been awhile sense I have shown myself around your forums. I find the prospect of you creating a MOBA very interesting and quite exciting. Mainly because I believe you will create a quality game, and so I would love to be a part of help develope it. I left the MMO scene awhile ago because I've becoming totally enveloped in MOBAs. Playing LoL, Vainglory, Fates Forever, Solstice Arena, and Heros of Order and Chaos. As far as the mobile MOBAs go I play Vainglory the most, mainly because the controls are the most intuitive. Otherwise I stick mostly to League of Legends.

Reasons I should be considered for alpha:
1. I have spent many hours and days on these forums and in your games helping players and creating competitions/guides.
2. I am an extremely active gamer who has the time to put into helping develope Call of Chapions.
3. I am quite experianced in the MMO genre.
4. While I do not twitch very often I do/can twitch and youtube content when permitted by Spacetime.
5. I consider myself skilled at coming up with ideas or enhancing others.
6. I am a "Defence Council" member for a game called Dungeon Defenders 2. Which granted me alpha access and let me have input into their game. Meaning I already understand how the process works and am up for the job.

I look forward to this MOBA whether I obtain alpha or not,
-Vys

P.S. Shout out to all my Old AL friends and AFers!

A tournament may work for one aspect, but just because somebody can win a couple of matches on a single day does not mean they know anything at all about testing, have the ability to communicate issues well in a language the devs understand, and have the integrity to put the game development over their own desire for glory.

Tracking down, testing and reporting bugs, as well as providing feedback on game flow and usability, are skills that are totally separate from playing a pvp tournamet in a game like AL.

That being said, if you look at the history of official tournaments in Arcane Legends, there are names that appear on most, if not all of those lists. Such people may not have won the tournaments and may not be on the pvp leaderboard, but they show a long-standing dedication to the game and all aspects of it. I am one of these people.

I am not going to waste time bragging about my skills and talents, since I figure STS likely knows well enough who I am by now. I've been nominated by a few people on this thread, and just want to say that this is something I'd be very interested in, as a long-standing competitive player who is very active in the testing and bug squashing player base.

Because I'm a total STG no-lifer. And proud. I've got years invented in this franchise and would like to, scratch that, would absolutely LOVE to be one of the lucky few who get to have a major roll in this games release! Either way I'm beyond excited for this new title and am happy for you guys at STS

I wish to also be considered because first off this would be a landmark of an achievment of being a fan of spacetime games/studios and i played arcane legends since the beginning, also before i got a job i was very active in the forums, plus i work at home now so time would not be an issue

Hosting a tournament would do three things:

1. Show who really holds up to their application's words. Anyone can write - action is quite another story.
2. Show who is willing to put in the effort towards Alpha testing.
3. Alleviate some of the boredom before the new expansion release!

A tournament SOUNDS cool for SOME of the places,like perhaps the best 2 tiers would have to fight to get in, and the "worst" tier gets picked based on ability to report bugs, time spent with sts, and such.
i would not recommend it for ALL alpha test spots.
5 questions/problems though, about how the tournament would go...

1. What about PL players/outsiders, unfair for them if we have a AL tournament rigth?
2. Timezones would make it hard to base it all on a tournament, because some people would have to fight late at night and have bad reflexes and stuff like that, and people would be at work.
3. How would they give out this "fair gear" would the server go down to gift it, and then go down again to remove it?
What if someone gems it with their plat? would it be tradeable?
4. AL COMPUTER pvp shows nothing on how good you are at a mobile MOBA, so well that would change the accuracy of the fights.
5. their pvp skill doesnt show their skill to break down and find bugs.
Thats all my questions/problems with a pvp tournament.

A tournament in AL will prove your skills at AL PvP. It's a MOBA, not CTF.

Couldnt have said it better. What they REALY should be looking for is experianced MOBA players, active gamers and forumers. People who can make clear and concise posts and help squash bugs.

Agreed. MOBAs are vastly different than other PvP games in terms of general strategy. Some parts like reaction time and positioning carry over, but MOBA fighting requires coordination on multiple levels of decision making and map play/rotations.

For AL, there are many types of players. We can be an elite farmer, a PvP player, a nab, and someone who doesn't want to respec (so uses same spec everywhere). If a game is PvP specific, people will play PvP and be pros at it. You learned to be a good PvP or good PvE in AL, SL, PL, DL. Same will happen in CoC. We're looking for people who are already pros. I've only seen people telling why they should be in the AlphaTest, there is not much talking about the criterias other then reporting bugs and PvP tournament. We're trying to differentiate Titans from Heros.

I am not very familiar with the PvP pros of AL, PL and SL. I can find many names in the already done Tournaments and post them here, but we can all do that. People naming their best friends and best PvP people they know. We're talking MOBA, then let's talk MOBA.

The best to tell who is titan and who is legend, is to test game first and place people on that leaderboard. The point with the Tournament is to tell who's better then the other and class people. AL tournament, no. MOBA testing and tournament, yes.

Hi Adrian,

Following up from the PM I sent you, I'd like to formally (and briefly) apply to be a Call of Champions Alpha tester. I'll give you a few reasons why I think I am qualified, and you as well as the result of the forum members can assess these qualifications.

1) AL PvP/PvE Experience: I have been playing AL since S1, and started PvPing during S2 and haven't stopped since. My experience in CTF and TDM is quite extensive. I mention that I have PvE experience because as a timed runner who has held records in every type of map in Arcane Legends (Hauntlet, Watcher's Tombs, Kraag Tombs, Kraken Mines, and a variety of Elite Maps), I can tell you that I have a high attention to detail. Be this in PvE or PvP, anyone who has played with me knows this fact. I notice things that other people overlook. So, as an Alpha Tester, I believe that I would be able to use this mind-set to point out things that others wouldn't necessarily notice.
2) Forum Activity: As an Alpha tester, a person needs to be able to communicate what they're seeing so that a developer can understand and fix the problem. Being active on the forums for the last 6 months or so I've proven that I can make well written posts that are logical, objective, and easy to follow. I may not have the ability to screen record, but screenshots and write-ups are just as useful, if not more useful/feasible.
3) Related Work Experience: I may not have extensive programming experience, but for a job I actually work closely with developers and have learned to understand their process of developing software, which entails things like development, testing, defect logging and management, etc. I could leverage this experience quite easily as an Alpha Tester, and it would only help me at work!

I do hope that many of the players applying here understand that although this will be a fun thing to do, it will be a good amount of work. And I would like to behoove you to keep in mind that there are players who would may this privileged information and use it to their advantage - which has been done in Arcane Legends in the past by some of the very players who have applied before me. So, some sort of contractual agreement is necessary IMO.

Anyway, as an Alpha tester I'd be able to leverage this experience my in game experience, my ability to communicate effectively and objectively, and my work experience.

And just as an observation... it does seem like this is becoming a popularity contest with people nominating their own friends. But hey that's just what it seems like to me.

I think I'll have to disagree. Clashes (team fights) are inevitable in any MOBA game. The same goes for teamwork and communication within a team which is highly beneficial to any type of PvP whether it'd be in AL or CoC.

I would like to nominate a few people that I think are deserving of being in the alpha for Call of Champions.

Angeldawn
I know many of her qualities have been previously stated by others. However, I have comprised my own list:
• She is very active in PvP and PvE in PL
• She literally takes the time to get to know people in the community. I do not just mean on a character name basis, like she gets to know more about them and people often come to her when they have any problems or concerns. She genuinely cares about people in the community and she is very trustworthy.
• She often goes out of her way to help others. On numerous occasions I see her donating sets or items and offering advice to newer players in towns such as Forest Haven.
• She has a great day of experience with a variety of games.
• She has always been a great deal of support to both STS and the community. For example, in the previous Easter events she would buy every single colour of the rabbit ears and go around to towns to help people get all of the colours to get the white rabbit ears.

Cloakker/David
I do not even know where to begin with him. I have seen his accomplishments over the years and I really think he deserves to be chosen.
• He is a big fan of STS games and the community
• He has tried every game that STS has released
• He has actively played PvP since the 56 cap in PL where he has managed to go from a total noob bear that people farmed to a highly skilled bear that people respect
• He has played LoL on several occasions and I have been a witness to his skill in it. He is not active enough in it to reach any of the tiers; however, he understood the game right away and was able to play it with a higher degree of skill than I could have imagined. Basically, he is a very quick learner
• He remains very active in PvP to this day and I am sure he is a familiar face to many. He is not one of those players that totally talks trash back when someone talks trash to him. Instead, he gets their respect by showing how skilled he can actually be
• He has participated in a lot of tournaments from single player to teams. He has won quite a few of them as well such as the 3v3 FFA STS hosted back during the 66 cap.
• He is also successful at teaching others PvP. Two examples would be gladiator and myself. He taught gladiator how to play bear many years ago and now gladiator has become recognized as a great bear player in PL. He has also taught myself various techniques over time and I am very thankful for the help he gives me so that I can improve.
• He may not be very active on forums, but in game he is quite known throughout the PL PvP community. I do know that if chosen, he would definitely become active in sharing his opinion on what works/what does not and in submitting bugs and/or balance issues.
• He is also skilled at every class he has played. He understands builds, teamwork, and risks. He understands what needs to be done in games such as FFA or CTF and he understands when to stay back. Even without a ring or an overpowered set in PL he is able to dominate.
• He has a 3 piece ring in PL. However, on numerous occasions he will take it off to even the playing field. He also likes to try different sets based on who is on his team/who he is against. He is very accommodating and loves to play a good PvP game rather than winning all the time
• On the other MMOs he plays he is always willing to try PvP there. Even if he is not properly geared or skilled he loves to try it out and learn how it works. If it does not work out he does not ever give up. He always gets back on his feet and keeps trying.

KingFu/MysticalDream/David
• He has been a part of the STS community since PL first came out (since he is a founder and all). He has also remained a part of this community since.
• He has been an active PvP player for many years and has understood the mechanics that varies with the change in each cap. Whenever there is a change in balance he is always testing things out to see what has improved, what still works, and what does not work anymore.
• He is very flexible in his playing style and is open to trying new things to test. For example, on his bear I have seen him try everything from strength, to dex, to the unspeakable int bear. At each one of these he has figured out how to make it work.
• He has been a very active community member for years. I mean, go back in time through forums and you can see a lot of what he has done to help out the community.
• I think he would be really beneficial for helping the game become amazing prior to actual release. I know he would be able to lend a hand with his opinion on balance, bugs, and any other problems that he may discover. I know if he is chosen he will not let you down.

Shilooo/John
• He is one of the greatest PvP players in PL IMO.
• I have seen him play every class except for Rhino and he excels at each and every one of them. Fox is a relatively new class (in comparison to the three original) and somehow he managed to be amazing at it! He really is able to understand the characters, create a deadly build, and execute the skills with such skill that it amazes me.
• He has entered many tournaments both player hosted and dev hosted and has won a few of them.
• He used to be one of those characters I feared until I got to know him. He comes off so deadly in PvP that you get intimated. However, he is an honest and kind man. He is also hilarious.

XghostzX/Will
• He has been a member of the STS community since the start and he has remained an active member ever since
• He has been a big player in PvP for as long as I have known him
• He is very active both on forums and in game. He is always willing to lend out a helping hand whenever he can.
• He has participated and won various tournaments. He has also gone on to host many of his own that turned out to be total successes. I think his dedication to creating fun things for players in PL to do is what makes him a good asset.
• He is also one of those players that really intimidated me. He is highly skilled with a full int mage.

Hahahahabirdy/Shawn
• He is “Da Bear!” do I need to say more?
• He has come out victorious in pretty much all of the tournaments he has entered which IMO is a major accomplishment
• He understands playstyle, classes, game mechanics, and builds really well. He is able to figure out what works with each class and what does not.
• He has been a great teacher (for me at least) in various games. In PL he taught me some of the basics of bird such as range, builds, and combos. He also taught me how to use fox properly when I had absolutely no idea how it worked. Somehow he helped it make sense to me! As for AL, he taught me basics of rouge. I was amazed at how fast he understood builds and play style. Of course this was prior to PvP, but I am sure he would have excelled in that as well.

Gladiator/Kevin
• As stated many times above, he is very good at PvP. I think angel put it perfectly when she mentioned how when he is on the other team you cry a little inside.
• He excels in working with others and on his own. He really understands strategy and he understands what needs to be done
• He has been a big part of the PL PvP community for a few years now. I do not think he has any enemies, and if he does it is for his skill and not his personality.


These are all people that I have known for at least a couple of years. I have been a witness to many of the things they have done to help out the community and I have also witnessed each one of their skills in PvP. I know each one of these people would make a great addition to the CoC alpha. Had you guys have asked for nominations for previous games such as: SL, DL, or AL, I would have submitted each one of these people in a heartbeat. If I think of more later I will add to this post! However, these people are ones that stand out to me in the community. Apart from skill, each one of these people has an honest and respectful personality. You're all aces to me.

The best to tell who is titan and who is legend, is to test game first and place people on that leaderboard. The point with the Tournament is to tell who's better then the other and class people. AL tournament, no. MOBA testing and tournament, yes.

I agree with most everything (everything that was important i.e. not AL tourney), but if this game has a progression system related to League then the learning and specialization curve is entirely different. As you said, in AL people are experts at farming, PvP, or just play for whatevs, but MOBAs are designed to make all players look at the one ultimate goal in PvP.

A good way to think of it is with what we call the DotA to League approach. Originally, Blizzard released Warcraft 3 in the hopes of creating a game mixing the strategic gameplay of Starcraft with the progression system of an MMO with leveling up a singular character rather than an army. Using the level editor, a person created a game type called Defenders of the Ancients which sparked the idea of a 3 lane in match progression system where you controlled one character in Starcraft RTS style map with resource mobs spawning in and within the lanes. Soon enough, the original RTS principles of Warcraft were taken out of the game and level prebuild structures and a base for each team.

The mod became popular for its own gameplay and eventually released as a full game. Riot Games noticed the rapid success and released a game with the same principles, just with refined mechanics (called League of Legends). Rather than building yourself to win with either PvP or PvE, now both aspects were required to siege the enemy base and claim victory. The thing I'm trying to get at is the fact that Call of Champions is the refined Arcane Legends. Unnecessary mechanics that could cause harm to the PvP have been thrown away to create a different atmosphere much like how League of Legends evolved from Warcraft 3 which evolved the grand ancestor Warcraft: Orcs vs Humans (1994).

All in all, CoC will shape players to be the same, creating a more competitive atmosphere. This post took too long to write and was probably unnecessary :)

I agree on that, but teamwork and communication is not only in PvP. Tactics neither. It's found in team sports, at work, in boss fight, in Call of Duty, Super Smash Bros (team fight), Runescape (Bounty Hunter). We're looking for MOBA experience. Keep in mind that it's mobile MOBA, not PC. Legends PvP is biased by luck, gear and kills. People with 0 kills look like total noobs and seem to not be eligible for this Alpha test because they have no PvP experience. We all have a big warrior in ourselves.

And just as an observation... it does seem like this is becoming a popularity contest with people nominating their own friends. But hey that's just what it seems like to me.

I forgot to recommend you but Raw is also a skilled candidate, despite differences we may share. He may not have played all Legends titles but throughout all the Legends games I have played, the true pros (in the sense that they can be pro in any game) have a certain personality, mindset, and qualities.

Players like Raw, Mysticaldream, Hahahahabirdy, Cloakker and a few others posses this (IMO).

lets say people in Alpha are chosen as part of the Titan Class
when the real thing comes out will they keep dat tier and if so will they be able to be demoted if they arent good at the game (loosing matches)

I agree on that, but teamwork and communication is not only in PvP. Tactics neither. It's found in team sports, at work, in boss fight, in Call of Duty, Super Smash Bros (team fight), Runescape (Bounty Hunter). We're looking for MOBA experience. Keep in mind that it's mobile MOBA, not PC. Legends PvP is biased by luck, gear and kills. People with 0 kills look like total noobs and seem to not be eligible for this Alpha test because they have no PvP experience. We all have a big warrior in ourselves.

Edit: Roberto, I posted this 2 second after you posted that ^^^^

I did not say that teamwork and communication was not found outside of PvP; I just tried to make a point that AL/PL PvP do have gameplay correlations with MOBA's, which someone who previously posted thought otherwise.

Just a few reasons to why I should be considered eligible

1. Very experienced MOBA player, I've player DOTA, LoL, And mobile MOBAs such as heroes of order and chaos, heroes of soulcraft (the new 5 minute match moba that released not too long ago) I'm a former twink in AL

2. Tons of free time on my hands

3. Active forumer

Titan Class will be vanity only and not associated with any in-game rankings. That being said, it is quite a vanity!

Very good point. I truly believe that many of you are as good as professional gamers, and will be able to hold your own.


If we were to have a PvP contest, how would we determine the participants and what do you folks think the format should be?
For the PvP tournament we should have ALL the same gear and pet so it stays just for skill! Not gear. Such as me I have myth amu of doom in AL 6.2k HP and almost beat full Myth warrior with I think Abaddon he had 25% when I died (died cause no manna) but I am not wanting to be in Alpha I am to busy in RL. I would love to join when it first comes out I love MOBA's as I have said in old ones and I have been wanting a wonderful MOBA for phone/mobile devices such as my Motorola X. Or MotoX.

We're letting people in in three tiers (Titan, Legend, Hero). We may let invitees bring in two friends. I would expect we bring in ~3 people from the community into Tier 1.

I feel like I should be considered for the Alpha version of Call of Champions, for just a few reasons.

-I've been a part of this community for a long while. I know that my forums account is only dated back to I believe 2013, my original forum account was made in 2012, and I started playing Pocket Legends in August 2011. Of course, other people are much "older" of a member, but many have been long gone for quite some time.

-I'm a diverse game player. Since PL has come out, I've played the Dark Legends beta, and the Arcane Legends beta. I've had much fun enjoying being one of the first to play these great games with my friends, and for that simple reason, I'd love to do it once again with Call of Champions.

-Of course, I'm not much of a technical problems and bugs reporter, but that can always change ;) Finding bugs in a brand new game seems like it would honestly be really fun, trying to help the devs perfect a game that the community is excited about :D

-I've always been a huge PvPer in every game. Even if I'm terrible, I'll PvP all the time, that's mostly why I play every game that I end up doing.

-I feel like Laar from forums would be a great candidate to be part of the Alpha testing, he's a huge LoL player and he understands MOBAs greatly.

If any questions arise, I'll definitely be back to ask. :D

DivineMoustache's Revised Application:

From JustG's recent post about only letting around 3 people from the Legends community into the Alpha, my previous resume looked tiny compared to some others in the thread. Here are some clarifications about my qualifications to be part of the exclusive Alpha program. I've bolded what I think to be my key points to help smooth out the wall of text, although I'd appreciate it if everything in my application was considered. I may edit this post once in a while as well.

Reason 1. I already have Pre-Release Feedback and Alpha Experience:
I have been heavily involved in a few successful Pre-Release efforts and have proven to provide valuable insight.

Here is a list of some of my profiles from various games that I've contributed to pre-launch that have enjoyed post launch success or are enjoying pre-launch success:

Albion Online Pre-Alpha Feedback (https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/User/3352-Albinos%20Unite/#recentActivity)
State of Decay (https://forums.undeadlabs.com/members/zombiecrusher.68565/)

I was also an active member of the World of Midgard community before it turned into a massive flop at launch.

Reason 2. I have Mobile MOBA Qualificatons
No one else in the Legends community has probably logged more time at the highest tiers of mobile MOBA gameplay than I have (besides City and Prosecuted, whom I play with), and I think that should be something that should be taken into account, given that CoC is a mobile MOBA.

It seems that the main focus of the Alpha will be towards professional LoL players with extreme MOBA skill. The question is if their skill can translate just as well on the mobile battlefield. I play at the top tiers in one of the world's current premier mobile MOBAs, Vainglory. One of my recent achievements in the game was qualifying for the prestigious League of Extraordinary Vainglorians tournament, featuring 50 of the best teams in North America, consisting of 3 people each playing each other every day to climb the standings for prizes. I'm already used to tapping the screen, stutter stepping, and movement in MOBAs on touch screen platforms such as the iPad, iPhone, and Samsung Galaxy Note.

Although being a high level Vainglory player doesn't hold as much weight as being a high level LoL player, the fact that I'm a veteran of touch screen MOBAs and they're used to PC gaming with a mouse could mean that it would be easier for me to transition into playing the game and instantly providing feedback on controls, UI, gameplay, and bug testing while they learn the platform. The game is also more likely to cater more to mobile gaming players, not PC gamers, and feedback from people who appreciate and are used to touch screen controls and the UI could potentially be more valuable than those who play on a PC. For example, a PC gamer may like the game to appear more PC-like, as he/she is used to this, while for most people who are looking for a decent mobile game, the controls could appear too complex or clunky. The limited number of alpha spaces should include people from all platforms.

A reason why I'd like to test the Alpha level of CoC is because the fact that the matches are so short and convenient. Despite playing at the highest levels of the game in Vainglory, I have my frustrations, including inconveniently long matches for the mobile platform, as well as the fact that one disconnection for a few seconds requires you to reboot the game and lose minutes of possible action, swinging the fights. CoC appears to have no such disadvantages.

Another reason is that canceling your queue match costs you 4 minutes of time out, a cool down. This is very close to CoC's 5 minute maximum game time per match. I envision myself easily switching back and forth between VG and CoC, or maybe fully merging into CoC

Reason 3. I have Legends Game Qualifications and am able to create and feature creative content
People consider me to be one of the best low level PvPers, and I have probably over 60K total kills on all my twinking alts that I've ever created. Although endgame possesses more buttons to press, low level has allowed for me to become used to the option to only press 3-4 skills, something that appears to be present in both CoC, and something I attribute to having helped me play at a high level in Vainglory.

Not only am I a fairly qualified Legends player in terms of PvP skill, I have also shown the capability to write up comprehensive posts on twinking, as well as create clear, easy to understand guides that don't overwhelm players, while helping new players transition into the game. I also have displayed creativity by making use of Pocket Legends various resources to create entertaining videos or unofficial mini-games. Here are a few examples of my work:

Written Guides - These posts are well written with an intention to educate newer players on parts of the game that may be unknown to them.
1. Comprehensive Guide to Twinking (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?159885-Divine-s-Guide-to-Twinking)
2. Pocket Legends Mini Game: PvP Futbol (Soccer) (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?133277-PL-PvP-Adventures-PvP-Futbol-(Soccer))

4. Art of the L16 Paladin/Rhino (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?159533-Hung-s-Art-of-the-16-Rhino)

Video Guides - These video guides are pretty simple to understand and give an overview of the basics of low level twinking.

1. A Playlist of all major Video Guides Created on my YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzcL2o60mA7MERIlAZm5I3zcV5waKgaJc)

11. Fight's Guide to Level 15 3v3 FFA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaHGE2bg5uE)


Creative Pocket Legends Content - These videos showcase my ability to use the resources available within Pocket Legends and generate unique, entertaining video content.

1. Pocket Legends 5 Year Anniversary Thank You Video (towne run) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0esbkRNa0nM)
2. Pocket Legends Frozen Music Video: Let it Go -- The Reprise (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0Sg4AN06Tc)
3. Pocket Legends Frozen PvP: Based on Frozen, the Movie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6IZn1ynT_A)
4. Playlist of low level gameplay videos that I've created for subscribers. (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzcL2o60mA7NzgqMlHEL9a6sJkkxsHatj)

Reason 4: I have a YouTube channel that generates steadily increasing views, rather than hit or miss videos.
In only 5-6 months of creating videos, I have amassed over 300 subscribers and 25,000 views on videos almost solely dedicated to Pocket Legends content, updated on a consistent basis and usually 2-3 videos per week. I hope to do the same for a hopefully larger CoC audience while still maintaining my connections with the PL game as long as it's running. My channel could act as another platform to build hype for the game among the viewers that watch my videos.

Reason 5: My group has developed budding relationships with many large mobile MOBA streamers
Some of the connections that my regular group and I have cultivated over months of playing Vainglory include Twitch streamers with 50,000+ views and 5,000+ followers, who stream on a scheduled basis. If possible, we could apply some leverage and hopefully set something up eventually where CoC is being promoted to a viewer base already interested in mobile MOBAs.

Such streamers include:
LoLGibbs
LadyWabeesh
& VGRumblySuperset (YouTuber with 2M views over two accounts dedicated to mobile MOBA)

Firstly, I would like to thank Shiny toy for nominating me. While I appreciate the thought, there are a great many players who would be a far more valuable asset to STS than I.

People I would like to nominate:
Shinytoy - He is a incredibly skilled player and an even better person. I am truly proud to call him my friend. He is one of the few legitimately fair people in this game, and will always play with random players and play fair, which, IMO is a huge must for a moba. Another important trait of his is his willingness to stand up for what's right, even if he is the minority in that matter.

Aspynxia/Madnex - I do not have the fortune of knowing him, but from an alpha testing point of view, Madnex is a must have. He is extremely adept at noticing and pointing out bugs that is perhaps the most valuable skill a tester can have.

@ Zeus on the matter of a tournament for deciding some of the testers. Firstly, as Kicho already stated most eloquently before me, the gear MUST be exactly the same, including gems. The reasons for this is to provide the best results of skill and teamwork.

Something else I would like to add, is that those wishing to participate sign up and STS creates randomly generated teams of equal class distribution. A moba is all about playing with random teams, and rather than sew the usual arrypotta, night and Zeus team, creating random teams would force you to play with people you may have never seen before. The team that can do this, IMO is best suited to participate as alpha testers.

This is actually a pretty good idea. Call all participants and randomize players into teams. From there, you can clearly tell who, within the team or the tourney, deserves merit.

From what I've seen in the Legends games, those who are true "PvP Titans" are people who have shown dedication to the game and are willing to play no matter what the situation or circumstances may be. I have played PL (as well as every other Legends game, but mostly PL) for 4 (5?) years and have gotten to see players who always seem to win no matter who they are playing with or against.


In my opinion, criteria for determining "PvP Legend" status should be based on a person's ability to be able to play multiple levels and classes in PvP. Those who are skilled are not limited to a single area, as they have the knowledge and expertise to learn all the different methods required at each different level. This itself would prove that they have mastered a class, as they would be able to excel with it no matter the area they play at.

Some people who have been truly remarkable at PvP that I can remember include:

Hahahahabirdy (shameless self promotion!): I have won the most tournaments out of anyone in the Legends games (#1 on Hall of Fame forum list) and am not limited to one class or level. I know how to play every class and level well, as evidenced by my tournament wins being spread out across the PvP spectrum. I also have experience with other MOBAs, such as Vainglory, in which I am ranked in one of the highest tiers. I therefore have existing knowledge about the genre and am not new to the concept. Also:
Think of this as the ultimate search for who r da bes berd!
I r totelly da bes berd!

Gladiator: Best Bear/Second Best Bear, both of the people I have in mind have played bear (as well as all other classes) very well, no matter what the current meta is. Has won/placed in multiple tournaments, whether they be 3v3 FFA/CTF or a simple 1v1 match. 3 tournament wins.

Cloakker: The other bear (see above). I have won many tournaments when teamed up with this guy. He is aware of all the nuances of the bear class and can utilize it to its maximum potential. 3 tournament wins.

Angeldawn: Clocked more hours of PL than anyone I can remember. She is most certainly dedicated to the game and is willing to help anyone learn the basics of PvP; she is especially skilled at mages.

Hello Gary,

I wish to be considered for the Alpha access because of the following:

1. In all of your games, excluding DL, I have been hardcore into PvP & have established many effective techniques for the classes that I have played in your various games.
2. I analyze game mechanics & try to figure out the reason why a bug is being caused rather than merely addressing the bug. This is so to help developers locate the source and fix the problem more efficiently.
3. I regularly submit bug reports in the Technical Bugs and Issues section of AL. Anything that requires immediate support, I PM the respective moderators about so they are able to handle the issue in a timely fashion.
4. I've been a loyal, passionate, and hardcore player of STG games for 5 years and counting.
5. I regularly win developer hosted PvP tournaments. In total, I have placed first or second in: 6 tournaments, 4 of them being developer hosted. I mention this not as a boast but as a means to show that throughout your games, I have been referenced as a skilled PvP player.
6. I can play on all platforms: Android, Chrome, iOS
7. I have the hardware required to take videos to highlight important bugs.
8. I have a YouTube Channel with 469 subscribers and 63,000 views.
9. I am highly into PvP and host many of my own developer sponsored tournaments such as the 8-bit Salute CTF tournament or L36 Battle of the Greats CTF Tournament!


On top of this, I am willing to share knowledge because while knowledge may be power, I am also interested who is able to apply knowledge in the most effective manner possible.

I would like to nominate the following players to be considered Alpha access testers: Shinytoy (Sorcerer), Night (Warrior), Asphynxia (Rogue), Centergy (Warrior), Arrypotta (Sorcerer), Conradev (Sorcerer), Avshow (Rogue), Danley (Rogue), Twoxc (Rogue), Protidgy (Rogue). Any of the above players are highly skilled and understand game mechanics in AL so I feel that they will be able to do the same in the future. The fact that there is 3 slots will not change my mind about any of these recommendations.



Thank you for considering me,

Zeus

I would like to be considered cus I learn quickly, know how transmit knowledge, I had experience in mobile MOBAs not just PC games like DOTA and LoL, I'll play The Witcher: Battle Arena and Heroes of O&CH probably the best competition vs CoCH. I'm following very close this game, I'm rate the Champions and I'm old costumer.

Gl to all!

I hope to be chosen to play this new game. It sounds amazing and after viewing the trailer I could not wait to get my hands on it.
Reasons I believe I should be chosen are purely on the fact I have been pvping on a particular bracket since it was released on Arcane Legends long ago. This has widened my knowledge on how to better myself and the advanced tips and tricks to playing the rogue class. I have furthered this by handing down this knowledge to friends and close guildmates. Call of Champions is a whole new game, and I believe that I can do as above completely over again. If given the chance, I would try my hardest in every way possible to succeed within the game.

I hope this isn't first come first serve because a lot of people want this. I go to school but I have a lot of free time on my hands like 6 hours a day.I've played all your games and I played pocket legends since you had to pay for new maps you can even check my account. I loved all your games and I hope this game can put you guys back up with the best.I have much experience with pc mobas and mobile mobas. I play Vainglory but there is a lot of afks so I'm sure 5 min can decrease ppl who afk. I think hoc is a decent game also but the art hurts my eyes(literally can't look at it for too long).I play league of legends also I'm well equipped with the function of team work and the design of a Moba. I'm a quick learner so hopefully I can see some new mechanics I haven't seen in a Moba before.Id love to try out your wonderful game. Even if I don't get into the beta it would be cool if the Spacetime studios team streamed it or something like that :welcoming:

Strategy = teamwork and map rotations (there is more to it but yeah)

And luck isnt too much of a factor in League since there are only 3 factors of RNG in League: gold cards, Bard chimes, and crit chance. I think that's all

A lot of strategy, a lot of chance.

I've been playing few runs. I won 2 games with a lower score then the enemy. Those games ended 1hour each. I was really tired lol. We were killed many times, but we destroyed the Nexus, victory! I've played with many "smurfs" -.- those people are OP. One luck factor is to have those in your team xD and wish that the opponent team get nabs.

That is true. Gotta pray for a team with a good mindset and skills when in a queque without friends. The matchmaking for you first ever ranked provisionals will determine who you will play against for a long time. If you get placed in bronze IV and fail to escape by the end of the season, you will likely be put in bronze V in the next season (which is very, very hard to escape).

Hi! I am a Twitch streamer at twitch.tv/mxie7. I am a mobile gamer and have played many mobile MOBAs before. I have played Heroes of Order & Chaos, Fates Forever and currently Vainglory which is the game I stream the most on Twitch. I also have a brief understanding of games such as DoTA and League. I feel that many mobile MOBAs are underestimated and I want games such as Vainglory or Call of Champions to prove them wrong. I also have signed up for and done many alpha and beta tests. I am an alpha tester for the Smite: Xbox One Edition, beta for Heroes of the Storm and more. I can spot bugs and I am willing to report them if it means that this game could be one of the best in the AppStore.

I will follow the terms and conditions and will do anything that is asked :)

Nope. You just need to have a good understanding of all the positions/roles before you play your first ranked provisional matches when your account hits level 30. The first ~200 games you play will give you the basic knowledge you need to succeed in ranked, so if you don't use the time to learn it will be a lot harder to scale yourself in ranked. My best suggest is to learn 2 champions for each role (you can learn more for your main role) extensively before heading into ranked queque because people will force you to go a certain position based on the pick order.

I would be interested to get into this, the previous legends games' balance between classes has always been a large concern of mine. It's really cool to see you guys offer this hoping to get user input before it is unbalanced and seems like a great way to start a long lasting game. I would assume most of the alpha spots will be given to members of the AL community as they have been most involved in a game being actively balanced. I have actually not really touched PvP outside of pocket legends as far as the legends series. I have played vain glory and heroes of order and chaos breifly which would appear to have a similar type of play style to the desired outcome of call of champions. I would love to help shape this game and watch it grow into a full community from the early stages. Good luck with the game regardless; I will definitely check it out once it hits the app stores.

My IGN is terrainiarob. I recommend playing varus in the bot lane since he does not have the mobility of other AD carries so he has a hard time avoiding ganks in mid. He also doesn't have very good multi-target clear speed for spread out targets (like those in jungle camps) so he is far too weak for leveling early off the jungle.

Here is a game from Wildturtle, the current AD carry for Team Solomid and the holder of the top player in North America for 2 seasons in a row (having 3 accounts in top 5).

I feel as if I should be part of this exclusive alpha testing.

- I am an avid gamer since very, VERY young. I've played so many different genres, not only on mobile but on consoles, handhelds, and most of all, PC. To name a few, these genres include:

FPS games such as CS:GO, Call of Duty, and TF2
Turn - Based Strategy games such as CIV 5, Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy, Pokemon
MMORPGs such as Pocket Legends, TERA, Maplestory

To top it off, I am a HUGE fan of MOBAs. I've been following the development of MOBAs since Warcraft 3. Nowadays, I play League of Legends hours a day, going through game replays and fixing every little mistake. I also follow the E - Sports scene extremely closely, which improves my critique. Although I don't play these games anymore, I used to play DOTA, Smite in open beta (few years back), and have been following Heroes of The Storm E - Sports. From my knowledge of history and development of all games, I believe that I am prepared for anything, including very precise critique.

I will be able to explain the concepts of map rotation, proper teamfighting, balanced and imbalanced stats, mechanical skill, and other different concepts involving MOBAs.

- Another reason I should be part of the alpha testing is because I do know the basics of STS games, especially the PvP aspect of it.

I was extremely competitive during my time of Pocket Legends (unfortunately, I stopped playing 8 months ago due to boredom). To prove it, here are my well renowned guides among the PL community: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?139206-Lv51-Pure-Int-Enchantress-Guide-IN-DEPTH
http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?152380-L56-Pure-Int-Mage-Guide!
To this day, I still have intensive game and mechanical knowledge of how PL works. Now, as far as I can tell, you guys are going towards a MOBA with aspects based off of AL. However, as I've mentioned before, I have a very clear understanding of how to play games at a high level, especially since MOBA games is part of my specialty.

I am an old player of PL (not as old as some). This strengthens my demeanor of how well I know the STG games, and I was also one of the first players of Dark Legends and Arcane Legends when it was first released (admittedly, I quit after about 2 months).

- You can learn a lot from my critique of not only gameplay, but potential bug fixes.

As I am an avid gamer, I believe that my opinion matters when it comes to gameplay. With my knowledge of what's good and what's bad, I will be able to further help the development of this upcoming game. If there is an imbalance or something that does not fit, I will be able to spot it and inform you of potential solutions.

It may be out of the question whether I will be able to spot really small bugs, but if I am devoted enough to playing hours of this game a day, I will be able to spot bugs. Nonetheless I still am intending to help out as much as I can.

Currently, me and a couple friends are in the process of re-tooling one of our podcasts to focus on many different MOBA and having access to a new game like this would be fantastic. Currently We talk a lot about League Of Legends, Heroes Of The Storm, Vainglory and DOTA2.

I would like to recommend Shinytoy to become an alpha member.

He has a deep understand of arcane legends and is definitely good at finding bugs.
Also, I think that he will be very helpful in determining champion and proper counter play/balance between the champions.
Also, based on the strategies he has shared with me on multiple occasions he will likely be able to quickly find FOOS(First Order Optimal Strategies), something that all developers should avoid so that players dont just quit games.
Finally, I believe he can help in pairing players of equal level together.

We have some weeks to test the game. I think there will be a solo mode where you can team up with bots and fight against other bots. Afterall, it's 5minutes games, so if you find people who will play with you during an hour, then you get to play about 10 games which is somehow good. JustG still needs to think about it too. You got an excellent point here Ardbeg.

Hello sts!

I would like to apply for the lowest tier.

Why for the lowest tier-
I have applied here because I am quite an old player of DL, and have been pvping over there for such a long time, I also play AL but I can't pvp in there because I am not rich and don't got the right gear! but I know how to pvp and everything, I can be sure for that and as for the lowest tier is because of my experience in AL, you all consider AL to be your for now ( I think so ) and over there I do pvp but with a bad stats which is not at all enough for the true twinkers. I have pvped in DL a lot that is why I think my experience in AL is less than the others. So, I think that I can fit in last tier.

Why you guys should select me for ALPHA-
You all should select me because I am a frank person, I will tell you the feedbacks and everything as a normal player! I am a fast leaner as well and I am always ready to help anyone, anytime, anywhere if or even if not I get selected for ALPHA.

The problems I might face being a part of ALPHA-
The only problem with me is of Internet connection, I live in an asian country, India where I usually have white ping but still I can make up with it and sometimes my router gives up, for that if I get selected I promise that I will buy a new router for sure. I don't wanna be backward or something.

Well, that was all I wanted to say, my english is all right but there are certain words about which I don't know. Well, I said in the best way to express what I want to say...I hope you all understand my qualities and also about my problem which I will erase if I get selected. Idk for which tier you all should select me but just be a part of ALPHA would be one of the greatest honor for me, DL is like my life, my past,, pfft leave it!! ( VERY LONG STORY ) :)

And thank you sts for making this thread open for everyone and also thank you making such AWESOME games and I hope you all keep growing! :)

I'd like to suggest some criteria to consider as qualifying criteria for Alpha Testing;

1. A wide range of player types - which represents a varied sample of your player base. This would allow you to make sure the game is pleasing and works well for as wide an audience as possible.

2. Time: Players should be able to dedicate enough time to the game - maybe a minimum number of weekly logins that a player would be expected to make during the alpha phase to really give good feedback on the game.

3. Timezone compatability: the players should be concentrated into few enough timezones so that there will always be a number of players online to game with (or if the testing will be done in time slots, then areas compatible with those testing slots).

4. Varied age range.

5. Device compatability (obviously!)

6. A certain amount of experience with legends games and an enthusiasm for STS gaming in general ^_^

7. Innovative - People who give good feedback but who are also able to couple this with constructive ideas on how to improve on the issues they encounter.

If my device is compatible, I would love to be considered for either the Alpha or Beta testing phase of this game! I've been playing Arcane Legends for over 2 years, since Jan 1st 2013 - I play AL a lot (daily) and would class myself as a casual pvp player - I have never been "fully OP geared" in AL; I enjoy popping into pvp and I really enjoy it when I find a good "match" rather than completely uneven teams resorting to ganging or running around picking off weaker players for kills (stats farming). I am looking forward to playing CoC, and I am really really hoping to find (and maybe help to shape) the PVP experience presented in CoC to be a lot fairer and to minimise the type of frustration the casual player can easily stumble into when they try to PVP in AL!

What could I bring the the testing groups? As a casual player I could give good feedback on my progression in the game, and the aspects of it which are appealing or unappealing for a casual PvP player; how easy it is for a member of the average public to pick up and develop their skill in this game, and whether it hooks me or not. I am 28 years old and have a full time job, so my experience as a tester would be picking up the game and playing during my lunch break as well as for a couple of hours in the evenings! I enjoy participating in the forums and would be able to give detailed and honest feedback on my overall experience, as well as technical difficulties and feedback on specific skills and how they are working out in game.

Really looking forward to playing this game at whatever stage of the release that may be!

For comparison purposes, here are the requirements for external folks asking to get in:

- Diamond tier League of Legends players or 4000+ MMR DotA players
- Highly accomplished eSports athletes/ Twitch broadcasters

Keep it up folks, who are our best?

Hmm...

To be honest, I think the requirements are usually meaning "we want some pros" (which i obviously understand, sorry for being so negative), Why not get some AL players like Rav and his suggested people?

IK the way rav plays, its either in or out for pve or pvp. And since this game is like his gameplay style - why not get him in there?


Here's why i would say:

- He goes straight in PvE or PvP
- He leaves the PvP zone if there's any sign of unfair-play-ness
- Sits in case if the team "kills" (ofc, ganging...)
- Doesnt talk, kill or be killed
- Highly skilled, he held 5 enemies in PVP - HP never went down by even 93%.
- He's too OP ;)

Hey guys,

If you knew what a MOBA was, you wouldn't speak about ganging and Legends PvP. Ganging in a MOBA is a very known way to cash kills. When the other team is being OP, the only way to win is to gang them seperately. Keep in mind that it's MOBA, not PvP. One Man Army is not ganging. CoC is not a PvP room and you're not going to use the skills of your Rogue, sorceress or commando.

Thank you.

Just saw this thread today. Can't wait for this game to come out. I love MOBAs. :) I have a few suggestions for people (other than me), as well as some reasons as to why I think I should be, at least, considered for the alpha. First, my suggestions are Hahahahabirdy, Roberto077 and Zeus. Zeus and Birdy are both very skillful in every aspect of PvP I have ever seen them in. Both have exceptional understanding of mechanics from what I've seen (Birdy wins almost every tourney he enters, too). Additionally, Zeus is very active and dedicated to this community, so I think he'd be excellent with bug reports and communication with devs about the mechanics of the game. Robert, though not as skillful as Birdy and Zeus, still is good in PvP, and he understands the mechanics. Additionally, he is a content maker on YouTube, and understands how MOBAs work.

As for myself, I think I'd be good because of a few things. The main thing that, I think, is relevant is my League of Legends experience. I've played League of Legends for 2.5 years. I'm gold ranked in solo queue ranked, and I have over 2000 games of normal 5v5s. I feel that I've got a good grasp on the concept of how to play MOBAs (though executing can sometimes be difficult, as it is a team game). Mechanically, I wouldn't say I'm amazing, but I think I'm still good (I don't think that many tricks from League of Legends will carry over to CoC, though). Additionally, I've had a lot of experience with being in closed betas and reporting bugs in them (examples being Final Fantasy XIV, SWTOR, Infinite Crisis, Rift, and some others not really worth mentioning).

At any rate, that's all I wanted to say. Congratulations to those who make it in. :)

So lets just say we happen to be platinum league in LOL and can prove it. Does that boost our chances of being picked?

It may... send me a PM?

I know I'm a little late posting here, but I would like to nominate somebody who has played every single one of the Legends series and he is still very active in every single one. Not only that but he is the most prolific PvPer in any game I have seen him play! I definitely know, as a fact, that he is an absolute TITAN of PvP. You would be doing STG a disservice if you didn't give him one of the very limited Titan spots. His name in Star Legends is zenxpro, also conquered. I'm not sure if he has nominated himself yet, but I can assure all of you that he is a Titan. Message him, he goes by Conquered here on the forums. He has mastered every class, every game, every stat, and every little trick is known to him. Please consider contacting him and seeing if he is interested.

Hi Gary, I would like to nominate myself to be one of the Alpha Tester, the reasons are:

-I've been playing Pocket Legends, Arcane Legends and mostly now is Star Legends, Lets talk about Star Legends ( because i stop playing PL,AL lol). I am addicted to PvP and has achieved to be #2 at the leaderboards, when Star Legends has it Expansion (Level 46 & 51) I have the achievement to be the 3rd player to cap and in the start of 2014 i mostly spent my enjoyment into looking of Bugs with Mastergundam to every map , and the items that we were wearing and we are doing that until now and we have found out that there were tons of bugs in all maps except "The Hive". I spent my gameplay since December 2011.
- I am playing League of Legends and I was a Diamond II in Season 4 and now I am Gold I, I also play Dota , MMR 3.2k Dota 2.
-I have the Youtube Channel (Zenxpro) that was mostly seen by Star Legends players, teaching them techniques, guides and some of my skills in PvP.

Also, For the improvements and for the good of the game, in all honesty i would like to nominate these people, they were the most experienced player from PL,SL,DL,AL. Some of them only played a single or 2 game(s) of legends. I do know them since my account was made here on forums and been played with them for a few times. I have included some of the new players because of there skills and great effort in doing such awesome builds to PvP/PvE and testing out a map where we can get alot of XP and Golds.

This is awesome folks. As the thread has developed, a clearer picture has emerged for Tier 1. We're looking for someone that represents the Best of the Best of the community. This person should be good at PvP, obviously, but we also are looking for someone who exhibits the character traits of a true leader. Someone that understands how Game Development works, and uses their relationship with us to make the game better for all. Someone who is interested in finding bugs and balance issues for the good of the game. Someone who represents the community at its best, that we would be proud to put into a mix with other professionals. A true People's Champion.

We have another announcement coming towards the end of this week, and then I would anticipate us choosing Tier 1 (and kicking off Alpha) towards the end of next week. So if you have not got your nominations in yet, please do so, and thanks!
