PKL/PK Tournament!

[Geneva]

Think you've got the leetest skills of any PK/PKL on your server?

Have you never run, chugged, hid, streaked, tugaked, rared, shielded or ganked and still walked away victorious?

Want your chance to show the entire server who REALLY is the best?

Now's your chance!

Announcing the PKL/PK Tournament hosted by yours truly, Geneva!

RULES

You must register for the event by posting on this thread. You must include your character name, character level and server.

15-30 minutes prior to the event, I will send a broadcast that the event will be starting shortly and that all players registered should log onto their character, be PKL ready (except of course on DT) and be buffed and ready to fight.

Please remember that the CoC WILL be enforced during the event and to respect the players that are not participating in the Tournament and to keep the language on CG PG-13.

Each event will consist of a number of rounds. The number of players that sign up on each world will determine how many rounds there will be and how many participants will take part in each round. This will be determined by myself prior to the event being run.

You will not know who will be in what round, this will be determined by myself prior to the event.

Players will be teleported to a "secret location" for the event. This is to prevent players from returning to the area after dying, and to keep observers from interfering.

Chugging, hiding, running, debuffing, rares, ganking, streaks are not only allowed but encouraged! There are no silver or bronze medals!

You are NOT allowed to Tugak or ring spell players as they are portalling in. Once all players have finished portalling and are moving in the area, you are free to use any and all spells at your disposal. This is to ensure that players at least have a chance to fight and are not killed the second they appear. This rule WILL be enforced and any player found breaking this rule will be disqualified.

Any player that arrives in the area and isn’t PKL will be disqualified and teleported away.

Any player that recalls or logs-off during the fight will be disqualified.

In the rare chance of a tie (two players kill each other at the same time) the two contestants will be brought back to the island so they can rebuff, turn PKL and start fighting again until one winner is determined. Sudden death!

The last person alive will be the winner of the round. The winner of each round will be given one of the Live-Ops weapon gems (for the 3 hour weapon).

The winner of the round will then be returned to the mainland. A broadcast will be sent alerting players of the winner of the round and that the next round will begin in 5-10 minutes.

When all rounds are complete, notice will be given that the finals will be starting in 5-10 minutes. All previous round winners will be teleported to the area for the finals.

The winner of the finals will be given the PKL/PK Championship Trophy and the winners name will be inscribed onto the trophy along with the date of their victory. (An additional prize will be given as well to the winner, yes I am building up some hype!)

Any player that wins the tournament on one server can NOT win on another server. Every round, the winner's account name will be verified against previous tournament winners to be sure they have not won already on a previous server.

On DT, this will (obviously) be a PK Tournament and any player that dies in one of the rounds will NOT be able to recover their corpse.

On DT, the winner of each round will be able to loot any of the corpses that they have killed. Once the winner has left the area (so the next round can begin) ALL corpses remaining will be deleted!

On DT, the winner of the finals will not only receive the trophy and the special prize, but they will also be given the rights to loot any body that remains in the area. All players that are killed in the finals will have their DIs removed and placed on the ground next to the body so that the winner can pick and choose any/all items that they would like.

Any player that is deemed to not be attempting to kill players or win the tournament, will be given a verbal warning by myself. If a warned player continues to show no serious attempt at killing other players to win the tournament, they will be disqualified.

He's right. Rares take out all the skill and put no emphasis on who is the best. I'd suggest taking them out as well. A question as well. How exactly are you going to enforce programs such as gear? I know Rookie is a good pk without it, but he has used it among others.

here's a suggestion for enforcing the no rare rule


When you portal players to the designated fighting spot, do a rare strip off their character as they go through portal space. I don't know if it's possible, but if it was, it would work great.



make their characters die when they teleport, but program it in such a way that they do not lose DIs and buffs or get vit - they only lose any rares they might have on them.


yea, i dunno if that's possible. If it's not, you could just monitor fights, and it must be possible for you to check player's buffs or inventories somehow.

I saw two things that multiplied the awesomeness of this:

1. "Chugging, hiding, running, debuffing, rares, ganking, streaks are not only allowed but encouraged!"

With an emphasis on the hiding/running part. Ah, Geneva, I like you even more now! <Unnecessary bit of rant ahead> I figured you admin types would force a strict no-running/no-hiding rule with no obstacles to hide behind (think PKL Arena) so that any level 275 Bone King's sword-type melee could simply click you and hit delete and go get a drink or watch some SpongeBob and come back to see that you're dead and they have 30 HP left. </Rant off>

The second thing I saw really made me smile.

2. "WE - Tuesday, July 10th - 9:30pm EST"

For those who do not see the significance of this date, I will tell you. ALTHOUGH I'M ON Claude-Kenni, that's because Zero Night (the forum account) is on Multiplicity's account, and you cannot change forum accounts, and seeing as Multiplicity's banned, well, I'd have to pay $13 just to use Zero Night (the forum account).

Ahem, anyway, yes, I am Zero Night, the one and only, and Zero Night himself, the WE character, will be unbanned JULY 2ND, which leaves me eight days to temp up.

So, it really wouldn't be fair to register now, would it? SEEING AS I plan to level much higher than 140 (his current level) before the deadline.

Then I shall!

Geneva, best admin guy. o wate ur sig says not an envoy. Well, regardless, you still have admin powers, I mean, I would know, you gagged me on Ash's once, for no reason. I still like you, though.

To even consider allowing rares reveals a huge disconnect between Turbine and the player base. Popping a War rare to counter a Magic d rare? The tourney would be decided by whomever buys up the most rares. For shame.

Also, wouldn't it be something if they made this tourney closed to anyone who'd ever been banned for UCMing? I'd wager it would thin out the crowd by quite a bit.

[Dread-Vitae]

I read as far as 'rares are encouraged' and stopped.

Very disappointed, this wasn't very well thought through at all.

[PepaoftheBOLP]

It is very true that this tournament will be incredibly silly and will come down to who bought or stockpiled the most rares for the occasion. If the makers of this idea wish this tournament to be a true test of AC skill it is absolutely necessary that they make it rare-free.

If that rule is changed, this will be one of the best things you guys have thought of recently.

Speaking of rares eliminating the need for skill - will you also be disqualifying for holdcasting/fastcasting? Worse than rares by far and completely make a fair fight impossible.

All we can do is hope, that Turbine/the Devs will finally realize that rares should be taken out of the game.

Seeing the reply's to this thread, they might realize how much rares Fk'ed over any important PvP fight, though.

Removing rares completly from the game should definitely be considered by the Devs.




Hence, like EVERYONE else, I'll join this tournament if the use of rares is not allowed. Additionally, I really appreciate your effort Geneva.

[Gengis]

Please remember that the CoC WILL be enforced during the event and to respect the players that are not participating in the Tournament and to keep the language on CG PG-13.

I'm not sure PG-13 is in-line with the CoC. PG-13 movies allow 1-2 Fbombs and consistent sexual innuendo and other vulgar words.

The AC chat filter filters many words that are common in PG-13 movies.

We need to stop saying PG-13, unless Turbine wants to rewrite the CoC. The CoC states explicit language, sexual innuendo, or other offensive or inappropriate language, content, character names, titles, descriptions, or in-game labels.

I personally do not appreciate the language on /cg. In our guild, we work hard to keep everyone using a respectful level of language so that everyone can enjoy the game.

And - you're hosting a PKL event, so arguably, you're inviting the servers' most common abusers of language / content infractions. I'd like to see a safer approach then drawing the line so far out. Maybe,

"The CoC will be enforced during this event, so please familiarize yourself with it once again if you haven't reviewed it recently."

From a coding perspective it's not that hard to solve the rare problem. Turbine can simply add in a check that prevents a rare from being used when someone clicks it for the duration of the Live Event.

With some extra development time, they can even expand the check to only be executed within a plane of coordinates. In this case the tournament isle.

From a lore perspective and to inform other players, there should be some serverwide message informing that Asheron has used some powerful magics to prevent the use of rares during the tournament. I doubt many players will have a problem with this solution.

someone said if they brought 4 magic defense rares they would not die
thats a laughable statement
the guy with the additional 4 war magic rares will eat you alive
anyone with both an attack skill rare and a defense rare will get hit and hit you just the same, and anyone with ATLEAST one attack skill rare will be able to kill anyone easily.

turbines not stupid, theres a yin and a yang for everything
you pop defense rare i pop attack rare = BALANCE

even the arguement that some broke person doesnt have any rares is childish at best.
they need to get up off their bum and start making mmds, the point of this game is not to cater to every player that cant take initiative and go out and get whats necessary for what they wanna do

We are still talking about the use of rares or not. No final decision has been made yet.

Rares will be allowed for the tournament.

If a PKL/PK Tournament is held again in the future, we may work on something to ensure with 100% accuracy that no-one is using or can use a rare for the event.

having rares in this tournament is retarded, i definately will not be participating.

Bringing 3 run rares to run around for 45 minutes if it's a FFA type event - wasn't specified

[Ruhelos]

Remember guys that rares have a 3 minute timer on them. All the fights I'm in (lol...) last less than that. So if I use my magic D rare, I won't be able to use my UA rare for another 3 minutes. Considering I'm not even good at PK, I'll probably die before then. So I highly doubt this will be a battle of the "richest"...most rares are HARDLY expensive (unless you are planning on using an armor tink rare or something)...and you won't even need very many.

Takes 15 minutes for a rare to go and 3 minutes isn't that long to pop another. I'll go back in the tournament and take Pepas advice and run around a couple hours. I don't mind pissing people off, wasting theirs and turbines time.

[Frank The Knife]

The question is which rare do you pop first?

Yeah with 450 health and 2 hour buffs these fights can last a long time while we wait for rares to run out.

[Coped]

Ruhelos, against a mage it'll be near impossible to die if pop a magic D rare and already have highish magic D. If you die with you resisting them, you'd have to be near retarded. However, they could pop a war magic rare to even things out and then you are right, you'd need to wati 3 minutes to get another advantage.

Regardless, this is going to be a battle of:

People trying stockpile more rares and then others having to use their rares to counteract them, which is just gonna get stupid.

Or

People running around when they realize someone has a rare and wait until it wears off. Again, which is gonna get stupid.

Rares are a horrendous idea for a PKL/PK tournament and the fact that they were even for a second thought to be encouraged is absolutely ridiculous.

[Coped]

turbines not stupid, theres a yin and a yang for everything
you pop defense rare i pop attack rare = BALANCE

even the arguement that some broke person doesnt have any rares is childish at best.
they need to get up off their bum and start making mmds, the point of this game is not to cater to every player that cant take initiative and go out and get whats necessary for what they wanna do

Since when was this a battle of who gets off their ass to hunt for MMDs and buy rares? That's not PK(L), that's grinding for the longest and/or having friends/people to buy/give you lots of rares.

I'm not participating because of this rare BS.

This is meant to find a good/the best PK(L), how is the person who hunts for MMDs for rares the best? That proves nothing other than that they can macro their a#$es off or have nothing better to do with their time but sit in a dungeon hunting or something of the sort for hours.

Yet, nope, allowing rares means the guy who PRACTICES PK(L)ing and doesn't spend time doing the above to get rares, will lose because of rich people who suck without an advantage?

LOL at you trying to defend the use of rares.

This was a horrible decision, however... at least you did have enough sense to change MT's time.

[Geneva]

The reason I included rares in the original rules was because they are a part of the game, everyone has access to them. I felt that a PKL/PK tournament should allow players to use any and all means at their disposal to survive the tournament.

I can understand the concern expressed over using them, and we did discuss how we could enforce assuring no players have used a rare, or used one during the fights but it turned out to be alot more complicated than anticipated.

If I host another PKL/PK tournament (which I would like to seeing how much interest you have shown in this) I will be sure that it will NOT allow rares to be used, but, unfortunately this is something we just can not do with 100% accuracy for this event, I'm sorry.

I understand if you want to withdraw from the event due to the uses of rares, you can do that by either posting here to take your name off the list, or you can just not be logged onto the character you registered with at the time of the tournament.

Hearing the news that some players are planning on just running around for up to two hours is quite discouraging. If the tournament ends up taking 2+ hours per round, there will be changes made on the fly to ensure the fights do not last that long. I hope it doesn't come to that honestly as I'd prefer the players duked it out to determine the winner without outside interference.

If we win a round do we get to pick the gem type, or do we get a random one?

[Chon of WE]

Is this going to be a group fight, or duels?

[Geneva]

This will be a group fight, unless of course only 2 people on a server register...then it will be a PKL/PK Championship duel. :D

Is this going to be a group fight, or duels?

[Kane99]

It's going to be friends vs friends vs friends, until the end...better to just have a capture the flag type of event with teams of 2 or 3, rather than this.

[Vlad Morbius]

There is no way that people who've abided by the CoC can compete in this tournament. This is like Barry Bonds winning the home run title, or legalizing doping at the Olympics. True talent won't be a winner here, those who've prospered from cheating will, and worst Turbine supports it!

I'd like to see something that truly relied on talent, especially for those who've poured time and money into honing their skills. This isn't it!

If this is a group fight, I can guarentee the fight is going to last hours. That's what you get for including rares in the rules.

I can guarantee the fights WON'T last for hours. I hope it's not required, but if the need arises...

Can we chose our reward if we opt not to take the weapons gem?
Such as:

I. 3-4 Level 7 spells on jewelry *No majors* (I hand you a loot gen ring and you change it)
II. Retired Items (Lightbringer Helm, Virindi Profatrix Mask, Purple Olthoi Helm, etc)
III. Retired Titles

I disagree with this statement 110%.

I'd be more impressed if you disagreed with the entire statement, but i recognize that you can't. Anyway it's a great first effort but it will fall short of anywhere near fair or talent based.

[Lokania]

I disagree with this statement 110%.

I don't see how you can disagree when it is only logical the folks who run macroes 24/7 not only will have more rares but more money to buy more rares. To say otherwise is being purposely naive.

As others have said this will not show the true talent it takes to be a good PK/L. Even the best would be knocked out early by some know-nothing popped up on rares.

[TheKnight]

Nope, sorry.

You can always sell/trade/give away the gem if you'd like.

Ok thanks Geneva.
Would you consider having alternate rewards next time you run a tournament like this? Such as retired items, titles, maybe even a chance to get a higher level rare?

Regards

[Kane99]

All of the best macro anyway.

[Killerfenix]

Its kind of sad to see everyone bash the tournament before it even goes down. Why dont you see what happens before you give up on it? I think this is a great first effort and will probably be a ton of fun no matter what for the participants.

[Geneva]

It's possible I suppose, that is if another tournament like this is run in the future. I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. :)

Ok thanks Geneva.

[Geneva]

I can totally understand the perspective of not wanting rares to be used. To be honest, I am 50/50 on the use of rares. After posting the rules and seeing players voice concerns over the use of them, we did discuss how we could try to ensure that nobody used a rare during (or just prior) to the event. Unfortunately it was not possible for this event. This is why I stated that if I host another PKL/PK event, I would not allow the use of rares in that tournament.

This is a very valid concern by the players that have said they don't think rares should be allowed and that's the reason I asked for comments/questions/concerns at the end of the rules.

But...I do not think that any player that has abided by the CoC can't compete in the tournament, nor do I think that I am supporting players that cheated by allowing rares to be used in the event.

I'm not sure PG-13 is in-line with the CoC. PG-13 movies allow 1-2 Fbombs and consistent sexual innuendo and other vulgar words.

The AC chat filter filters many words that are common in PG-13 movies.

We need to stop saying PG-13, unless Turbine wants to rewrite the CoC. The CoC states explicit language, sexual innuendo, or other offensive or inappropriate language, content, character names, titles, descriptions, or in-game labels.

I personally do not appreciate the language on /cg. In our guild, we work hard to keep everyone using a respectful level of language so that everyone can enjoy the game.

And - you're hosting a PKL event, so arguably, you're inviting the servers' most common abusers of language / content infractions. I'd like to see a safer approach then drawing the line so far out. Maybe,

"The CoC will be enforced during this event, so please familiarize yourself with it once again if you haven't reviewed it recently."

tee hee...

*Edit

Also rares here is A solution. If you can't exclude them. (Which would be a PITA) Turn them into area effects for that area. If you pop a rare your opponent's going to have them too. (I know sounds silly but hey its an idea)

I couldn't care less one way or the other on the useage of rares but 2 things will happen. Those with the deepest pockets will have the advantage and skill will have nothing to do with it.

Secondly when 2 people with deep pockets meet each other those matches will take forever and will be a matter of who has more inventory of rares.


Incidentally.. :) If rares are allowed I will be selling in mass prior to the tourney. ;-)

The only reason this is affecting anybody who doesn't macro is because they have less money to buy rares. But seriously, you can get money by not breaking the CoC... I never macroed, I'm level 216, and I'm certainly still able to PK in the tourny... I just have no money, but I've NEVER gone out hunting for money, so I also have no rares because of it... If I wanted to, I could go download lifetank/decal and macro and go buy rares, but I don't want to.

Truthfully, maybe macroing HELPS and makes it easier, but there's nothing to complain about. Anybody can not break the CoC and make money to buy rares to even the odds.

Learn to spell and talk in complete sentences and I might understand the rest of what you are saying. Rares require no skill, that's why they shouldn't be used in this tournament. Just means whoever has the biggest pockets or dupes will win it. Seriousely what are you talking about? Group fights take more skill then any 1 v 1.

Geneva,
Is Turbine recording, or frapsing, these PK Tournaments? If not, you should highly consider it... it would make for one heck of a trailer promoting the unique pvp style of Asheron's Call. You have the staff & experience to put all the bells & whistles in it to really make it shine. You can slap that video on YouTube / MySpace videos and try to attract more interest into the game.

Here's a video made from a Free For All tournament on Darktide about a year ago...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zmj5EtTrg5w

(Please excuse the explicit lyrics, I didnt make this video... regardless, its a really cool video showing the depth of pvp in Asheron's Call)

[Geneva]

We are not personally frapsing these, although I know of several players that have been recording the fights.

That's a really good idea though, maybe we could work that into the next tournament (assuming there is another rare-free tournament that is).

[Kalazar22]

Thank you for hosting this, was a blast.

[TheKnight]

First I'd just like to say Congratulations Kal. Enjoy your rewards mate.

Second I'd like to say Geneva, next time you run an event like this can you consider doing the following:

I. Do not allow rare use.

II. Have one on one fights instead of free for all's.

This would:

A. Allow the players true skill to be used, instead of sitting behind a rare with max magic/missile/melee d, as this really takes no skill to use.

B. This would allow a fairer judgement on a players true PK ability, instead of having to deal with group ganks, political agreements between the fighters (Players A and B work together to kill players C, D, and E, then fight among themselves)

III. Consider having different types of PK/PKL events such as:

A. King Of The Mountain
A server wide PK/PKL event happens where everyone is invited to partake.
The person who holds the top of the mountain/item/location for the longest amount of time wins.

B. Capture the Flag

Two teams and Devs are required for this, in a large outside area. Flags are placed on the opposite sides of the teams starting area and the team to score the most points at the end all win prizes.

C. Kill/Help The Prisoner

This would be identical to the event Jolt did with the escaped prisoner.
Whoever finds and kills this player, a global goes out letting other players know. The player who killed/helped the prisoner gets the reward.

D. Siege!

A public announcement is made that all players are invited to partake in a certain location similar to Fort Teth. The area is cleared of all mobs for the duration of the event.

Once all the players who wish to partake are there (within a time limit) they are portaled to a special location with a fort.

There are two sides to this fort. One is the defenders side and the other is the invaders side.

Upon arrival, the players are instructed to remove all armor and put on special Siege Clothing, so the devs can easily tell who is on what side. (Can be normal plain clothing, non-buffable)

Once the players have these clothing parts on, the teams are broken down evenly, into one defending team and one invasion team.

Defenders

The Defenders have access to the following weapons:

I. Hollow rocks (no wield req, +400 to TW skill)
II. Special spell launchers that when double clicked shoot war spells out in a certain direction.

The Invaders have access to special weapons such as:

I. Fort slayer weapons. (To smash down a section of the fort to gain access inside) These are placed in crates in front of where the invaders start out at.

II. Stationary weapons that shoot war magic into the breakable parts of the fort wall.

Rules:

A. If you die, you are removed from the event.
B. If you disconnect/lose connection you are removed from the event.

The winning side gets some very nice rewards such as:

I. Token for XP (Anywhere from 5% toward level up to 100% toward level)
II. Rare weapon gem live event item
III. Access to a special chest that has multiple high end items in it, such as; max mod weapons, wands, plentiful healing kits, gems of dispel, majors, and one rare.

Regards

[Kalazar22]

TheKnight for co-pk/l event management!

[Midgar]

It's never been about one on ones, its all about group fights. Just take out the rares is all. Everything else is fine. I don't like any of those capture the flag type of things or anything like that, it's a big waste of time that involves little skill.

[TheKnight]

Thanks Kal. :)

Midgar, to say capture the flag involves no skill is, well insulting to say the least.
Lucky you never ran into me in the Quake 1 days of CTF when I was apart of a very large clan that got into the first Quake 1 tournaments, or I would have had some very mean things to say to you. :rolleyes:

I think what he's trying to say is Capture the Flag has no place in AC.

Quake and AC are WAAAAYYY different. In Quake, you can't regenerate health and its much harder to dodge enemy fire.

In AC, take two people with Healers Heart healing the guy with the flag, that guy is never going to die. Also, there are certain runs you can do where both bolts and arcs can't hit you. Also jump spin makes Melees worthless as they wouldn't be able to kill the flag guy as he is not obligated to fight back.

I'm curious, now that the competition is over, how big a factor WAS the rare use?

[Ruhelos]

TDs winner used 3 rares and took out his opponent in less than a minute. As for during the other 2 rounds, I can't be certain. It didn't seem to be too extreme, but then again I only lasted about 2 minutes :D
