ATTENTION:
I have made a poll with multiple choices of the style of Tournament I should host. On Saturday, February 10th, the poll with the most votes will be the official Tournament! I tried to put ones that the community suggested plus the 5v5. Make sure you vote!
Poll:
http://www.strawpoll.me/17388364/r
The rules and terms will be in the official tourney post coming soon after the poll is ended on the 10th, thank you everyone
Sounds like a great idea I hope to see it become something

Another Tourney would def revive the status of endgame and also prepare us for the upcoming cap. The function of Rhino being used to replace mage and fox being to replace bird is also a great idea. As for gear I could say this would be more balanced since the main complaint is always rhinos. Making rhinos use str instead of dex will make it so there is no unnecessary complaints about Dagger rhino chasing or Bow rhino nuking.
In other terms *COUNT ME IN*!

Waiting on Cinco for the most part to see what he thinks as well as the community :)Quote:

Str rhino is tanky but loses its momentum in team fights. Besides a team can either have a mage or a rhino on their team.Quote:

Goodluck finding more than one team
I would personally enjoy a cap pvp tourney, I know you will have good intentions with the tourney. Let me know how everything turns out.
Im 100% down, if we can find teams, cold and dissolver Wya?
I’m sure lots of apex will join in along with restoration, but I’ll let everyone speak for themselves.
I like the buzz regarding PVP tournaments. It makes that level of pvp more active and encourages pvpers back to the game.
I do wish you all the best of luck hosting and dealing with our colourful PVP community.
I will be promoting your tourney on PL Central Discord server owned by Walie, please feel free to join it and add me on discord. It helps participants get in contact with each other outside the game and forums.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! At first I wanna say, Sunflwer, thank you for promoting my tourney idea in the discord! I too believe it brings players back and brings the spark back to endgame. As for banning fox and rhino, unfortunately, I won’t be doing that considering the fact that people play those classes mainly and I don’t want people feeling left out. I made the team requirements as balanced as possible to keep foxes and rhinos in the mix but also keep the tourney fair and not a blow out. And as for not finding teams, especially if Cinco would be kind enough to sponsor it, I know players will want to get back into it. It’s something I believe to bring the players back to cap and have one last fun Tournament at Lv. 105 before the new cap comes (rumor is it will be soon). In general, I believe this will bring fun and buzz back to Cap PvP right as the new cap is coming! :)
No thank you.
- enchantments
- game winning rng procs
- rhinos
- too many players to get on at once
- lots of people sold gear already
- lots of work, chaotic, big headache (see: Ghost's 5v5 tourney that so many people complained about)
- new cap incoming and it doesn't make sense to spend a ton on gear right now
- the new cap might roll out before the conclusion of this tournament ESPECIALLY if it's a 5v5 tourney that takes an awful lot of time to schedule and organize matches
So yeah, I'm out. My guild is pretty much inactive until the next cap too. Endgame pvp has been pretty much dead.
I'd advise someone to hold out and host an endgame tournament once the new cap rolls around. Right now it doesn't make much sense for me or others to join one.
Just out of curiosity, what rumors have you heard about the new cap coming so soon?
Speculation based on information provided and PL historical trends.Quote:

The next event will probably be a Valentine's Day event later this month with a cap release at the end of next month, if I had to guess (once again, purely speculation).
Is that enough time to find at least 8 interested teams of 5 (40 players), gain sponsorship or acquire funding for prizes, and schedule so many 10 player games, especially if timezone or work/school schedules are so very different? Is Cinco willing to potentially delay the release of a new cap by a month if it means a tournament can conclude? These are all hypotheticals until Absolize actually gains sponsorship anyway.
Exactly what I was thinking.Quote:

I actually think there are quite a few considerate Apex players that I happen to call friends, but popping up to support Absolize/Hook with such trivial and derogatory comments certainly won't help him get his tournament off the ground, especially when you're commenting to my post that has valid concerns.
I even stated in my post that I believe a 5v5 tournament has the potential to be successfully hosted... when the level 110 cap rolls out. But as of right now, I don't think one will work because of the reasons I stated that will likely be fixed by next cap.
If Absolize/Hook truly does wish to host a 5v5 tourney right now, I would suggest a level 40 one. I know he and many other Apex members have twinks in this level range and 30-40 has consistently been the most popular level range for the last 6 months or so. In addition to this, a level 40 tourney has yet to be hosted (L.35 has been hosted, but 40 has not). Goodluck.
I do prefer the idea of a lower level tourney because of activity on game, but perhaps 2vs2 or 3vs3?
- Mage/Rhino
- Bird
- Bear/Fox
Classed based sets for that level of course and a rhino replacing a mage and fox for a bird.
5 Members in a team the scheduling becomes an issue and substitutes are required on match day.
Forming an opinion off of what 1 member from apex said. I could say the same for restoration but we wont go there, the tournament sounds like a great idea and even if the new cap comes before the tournament is over it will get people in pvp while transitioning to 110. The time between caps os always so dead and many people quit because of it. Btw dollo try not to be so prejudice.
Who said this was the first occurrence of these types of comments?Quote:

A low level tournament would not be a bad idea, however, this tournament’s main purpose was to revive end game, not make twink PvP bigger than it already is. I want everyone to be active again for the new cap that will be sooner than we all expect. And as for the time frame, it will not be long. There will be a weeks time to get the matches done and if it came to a disqualification, the team that put forward the least amount of effort will be out and we will move on. With 8 teams, this tournament will be no longer than 1 month, and that’s a guarantee.
Your guildmate told me to "cry" after I offered constructive feedback. Somehow that gets glared over and I'm the 'toxic' one though. Funny.Quote:

Constructive would be providing ways to make THIS tournament work and not changing the format from what Hook originally planned for. Now I do agree with you with Apex members coming out of the blue on forums to make a simple comment, but c’mon, we’re rival guilds are we not? (Even though Apex demolishes EG) This leads to my second upbringing. How is my little comment going to make Apex look bad when we’ve been the most hated guild for years? And why are you so worried about our reputation in the first place? This right here is constructive feedback to you. Now to get on topic, this tournament idea is amazing Hook and I support you 100% bbQuote:

You can’t just completely exclude 2 classes that have been in the game for years now because it’s not ‘original’. I’m not allowing Dex Rhino, which was the complaint in the last 5-5 Tournament. All classes will use class based gear. If you don’t want to participate, that’s fine too. But I will not exclude the classes or make rules to where they would be handicapped, or defeat the purpose of the class. Fox is high damage, low armor. Therefore, foxes will use dex in this tournament. Rhino is tanky support, therefore I won’t make it to where the classes have to use certain sets to handicap them. If necessary, I will consider allowing fox to use any set they desire or feel is best considering they’re the underpowered class, I’m making it as fair as possible without excluding players because they don’t play a certain 3 classes in the game.
@JJ
Thanks bb :)
I'm so sorry that my feedback would make you go to lengths to show up on forums that you rarely ever post on and tell me to "cry". That doesn't scream triggered at all when random Apex members who rarely post on forums show up out of nowhere to defend Hook by telling others to "cry"!Quote:

Apparently your members are so concerned about my "making Apex look bad" statement since one of them personally messaged me on Discord to let me know that not every member is as rude as you.
Telling someone to "cry" after posting valid feedback is also toxic and what started this. Also I like how you ask others to stop flaming but continue to do so yourself. Hypocritical.Quote:

I think that’s “funny”. What’s random actually is how all those kills in your PVP stat got there. Now I know for fact and even YOUR own guildies who shall remain nameless of course can agree on the same thing as they’ve messaged me the exact same thing before. But hey, it’s not your fault I guess so I’ll keep it civil here.
Seems like it since you're wasting time on a forum you hardly post on just to tell someone to "cry" and then actually try to defend yourself with a very poor argument typed out in paragraph-form afterward. I also have zero idea what you mean by "class" based guild, but I know if one of my members was being a snob for no apparent reason I'd tell them to knock it off, as I have in the past. You also seem to have taken a liking to my pvp kills. Thank you! You should also like my pvp shields that I spent hours upon hours practicing and winning (two of which were in pvp tournaments where apex was involved where I ended up beating a few apex and another team who defeated apex 11-0...twice). I think you were in one of those tournaments too, right?Quote:

If anyone have a input on the idea of this tourney, please do share, if not don't reply.
Couldn’t have said it better myself!Quote:

How about stop being so hypocritical and acknowledge your guildmate is also being toxic?Quote:
