My next TOURNAMENT idea for END GAME - need feedback

[XghostzX]

Hey Everyone

For my next tournament Idea, I was thinking of holding either an all class 1/1 tournament (there would be several competitors, it would be sweet!) OR a 2v2 CTF tournament.

However, we would NOT be using our typical end game gear. Why is this? It's obvious - to avoid 1 shot kills!

After doing several testing, I came to the conclusion that using level 50 gear is the most balanced for ALL classes to use. No vanities would be allowed in the tournaments to assure that players use level 50 gear. So here are my questions for you guys to answer:

1.) If we used low level gear in order to balance out every class, what kind of tournament would you want? A 1v1 all class tournament (I'm thinking around 32-64 competitors), or a 2v2 CTF tournament at Rockwall forts (where you can choose any partner).

Thanks in advance!

Good idea!
Now if only IShadowstar was 1 more lvl
I haz void
But anyway, its a really good idea!

Because we're using low level gear, I think I would permit levels 71-76. But that's a maybe, you should try to level up.

Thanks for the feedback though.

Naked lvl 76s!

No, it would just mean if you had a 1/1 contest, players would have to continuously rejoin the game due to lak of mana. Same goes for ctf, people would make it to the flag room with hardly any mana, then die. Gear is needed to a certain extent.

Can we use no buffs? If so, then I must level my main to 71 then And no elite rings please!

Id like a 2v2ctf in 50 gear sounds fun

[Hahahahabirdy]

1v1 all class, never been held (?) in endgame!

[Cheenivie]

Nice sig haha:P But 1v1 all class sounds fun too I forgot we r using 50 gear if it goes and just wondering will we need to use class specific gear?

[CrimsonTider]

As stated before, 50 or Sewer gear has most balance. However, with level 9 skills, the low armor of these sets will probably still bring about one-shotting. (I'm still wanting to see an all Cyber tourney. ) May have to ban all vanities (including elite rings) to help balance things as well.

I will help you get this out/organized, Will.

[Randomguy]

finally no endgame gear, i'll join if so

[Sryyoulose]

All cyber or AO gear sounds good, but skills still op

[Spectre]

Awesome idea! Im in!

[Zapoke]

I would join this. :3

2v2 CTF would be more fun, but trying to get 4 people on at one time could lead to an extremely long tournament..

[Onagiabef]

Ooooh sounds fun. I'm in. But what happened to the other tournament? Was a winner ever declared?

[XghostzX]

After some more testing, I decided that a 2/2 ctf tourney would be best. As Crimsontide stated already, our skill levels ranked at 9 still make the damage output relatively high. It definitely is more fun/fair to some extent, but a 1/1 would still be unfair for different classes.

I'm really going for level 50 gear (cyber or any other gear you want). No vanities or elite rings - you can use any other ring you want though. Founder's are not allowed.
The only reason I say no vanities is to assure nobody is hiding certain gear that may be a higher level than 50 (which would result in a DQ).

Edit: I also leave for a soccer camp Thursday, and won't be back until Sunday. I'll be making the tournament Sunday afternoon, as that is a good time to find people an make them aware of the tourney.

Also with prizes, I'm very short on gold and dev prizes are a NO. They haven't contributed to tournaments i the past, and I hate having to make the "I can't promise you, but I'll try to get a dev prize" statement. Donations would be gladly accepted.

I'm also unsure if I should make 100k entries or so. This way people will want to stick through the tournament, and there will be a guaranteed prize.

Thanks.

I can probably save you a spot. Shadow sets will be available as well.
