Cross realm tournament

[Lanceloc]

Is anyone interested in going to a specific location at a set date/time to hold a tournament to find out who is the champion of all the realms?

It would be a great change from the usually RVR mg bouncing we're getting tired of.

I dont think it would be against the CoC as we wont farming each other as 1 toon will not fight the same toon more than once.

Of course we'd have to figure out whether we want melee vs melee and caster vs caster categories or just make it any vs any.

Also, we'd need some rules....IMO here are some fair ones.

1) All Realm Abilities are allowed. This will clearly allow more experienced players to win most of the time but not always. (think about crits, luck of the dice, strategy etc)

2) Spell crafted armour - allowed - some people pay 20p for it. They deserve to use it.

3) Both participants must be ungrouped and only buffed by themselves.

4) If any participant moves outside the ring of players around them they will forfeit the battle and lose that round.

5) Only 1 fight is allowed.

6) No healing from another player is allowed during the battle.

7) No fighting among the crowd. Whoever attacks another player will themselves be killed and left for dead and not rezzed. Anyone helping to stir trouble will be dealt with by their guild and slagged off on these boards completely

8) The fight continues until death or forfeit. There is no surrender allowed.

9) Maybe an EnE can ask GOA to validate this tournament and give something special to the winner and runners-up (the loser of final round plus the winners of the quarter finals)

Addendum

10) Casters fight casters and melee fight melee. The participants stand range 1000.

Soooooo who would be willing to take part in the noble and chivalrous "Tournament of the realms"?

 

[Cybwyn]

Great idea but just imagine say 100 people from different realms all standing in a circle with their hands tightly gripping the weapons at their sides.

One slip and it'd turn out like an Audley Harrison fight.

 

[Lanceloc]

Yes it would require some control from the players. They have to be a little mature.

This event would need help from GOA in order to make sure it goes smoothly i think.

But I still think we can surely do an unofficial one. GOA did do something like this before but it wasnt prearranged and was only your-realm-only duels.

 

[Lanceloc]

And I could arrange a registration web page on the guild forum. I havent discussed this with them yet. I just had the idea suddenly, but theyd surely be up for it.

Then after the registration-by date has passed the tournament schedule would be produced for all to see.

 

[Cavex ElSaviour]

the battle would be great if someone looses control

 

[Cavex ElSaviour]

one thing tho. need to be held in a zone where ppl who don't want to particpate (not me) won't get bothered

 

[Lanceloc]

Any ideas where it could be held?

It would be held over several days if many people participate so we could specify different locations for each day. Maybe keep it secret and known only to the participants 1 day in advance.

 

[kameh]

I seriously doubt this'll happen and if it should I hope it takes part in emain since very rarely there. Theory is great but I suspect it'd take a lot of work and even more cooperation than is possible. I'd much rather that GOA got ready for patching than spend time setting up an event like this that only a small proportion of people would attend - You dont think that? hmm think about trying to fight 1 v 1 when there's more than 100 contestants waiting around

 

[Cavex ElSaviour]

naaah, i don't think KEMOR is all that involved with the patching. biggest work on patching is the translation anyway. I seriously hope you can get this tourny of the ground. even if kemor can somehow turn of the RP's that can be earned the tourny would be great fun.

 

[old.mattshanes]

If you are saying all ra's allowed then pala/friar will win all hands down.

 

[Balbor]

um while this is aginst the CoC 3 fgs turning up and waisting everyone while everyone there ungrouped isn't. besides why should those that don't wanna get involved have there night of RvR ruined. Tell you what you set it up while the rest of us go and do a keep raid, see if it still holds together.

Theres a place for these cross realm duels, its called the PvP server.

 

[Mid_Blejsarus]

outside merlin (alb power relic) somewhere around there would be good imo pretty easy to get there also.
Hurburry shouldnt be claimed in that case btw

Summoners Hall

 

[old.Gromnir]

Nice idea, just sad that it prolly would be classed as "realm point farmning" and thus against the CoC. So With out the help of GOA dont think poeple be able to pull this off without violating the CoC.

btw. something like this have been tried once on Excal I think, I remember a mate of mine speaking about how his group had run amok amongs some "dualing" albions and Hibis [he played middie], and gained a lot of rp's.

bd ? :|

 

[uncle]

the 1st rule of cross realm tournament - there is no cross realm tournament.

the 2nd rule of cross realm tournament - THERE IS NO CROSS REALM TOURNAMENT.

totally agree, If people want to duel against other realms, either go and fight it straight, or go and level up on Camlann.

1) this is RP farming
2) it'd ruin a few nights of RvR for those not involved.
3) Heck do it if you like, i don't really care: ANYONE INTERESTED IN TAKING MIDS RELICS THE DAY OF THE TOURNEY? hell i am, if people are that self-obsessed they have to go prove themselves to the same enemy they meet every day, then they deserve the loss.

Oh, and if it does go ahead, and a couple of groups from ANY of the realm decide to wreck it up "Like a high-school kegger" to quote Jay, then theres no amount of whining that will make it change - those ungrouped, unprepared, rezsick, sitting, spectating an event like this will be easy pickings for marauding hordes...

 

[Lanceloc]

Firstly, I would agree that somewhere in the albion frontier is a good idea. My guild is one of the main defenders of the alb frontier and I can pursuade them to let any mids/hibs through the mg if they are naked or something.

Secondly, if you are indeed interested then send me a blank email to james@cybercity.freeserve.co.uk with the subject "Tournament".

Thirdly, if I get enough interest I'll set up a website including registration and rules (which we can work out).

Fourthly, I think that I would be the referee and I would need 1 volunteer from each realm to group with the participant b4 the battle to check buffs.

Finally, I cant imagine GOA banning 100 accounts over this if 100 participated, can you? If so, its their loss. An excuse to play something else.

 

[Lanceloc]

Sure its a risk, apart from calling a particular guild, that has ganked us, wankers every time I see in-game, I'd do my best to expel them from the alliance and try and hack their pc.

 

[Lanceloc]

BTW I would imagine each session would be around 60 participants, 20 from each realm. Thats 30 duels per session.

Summoners hall I too deep inside the frontier dungeon. We need to give soloers a chance to get to the location.

 

[Kerram Darktyde]

hehehe
If someone does come along and Kill all bar thier own real good on them, they are not breaking any GOA rules.

the expression you are in an RvR region and you die you can whine holds true...

small duels can be hidden away but the more people you involve the more chance of discovery...and of Wipeout..

Camlann is the place for things like this as you can kill anyone causing trouble..

On a regular server, you are on a frontier so fair game to anyone who wants to kill you...

 

[Zargar]

Sounds like a fun event. Lanceloc, if you come up with a good ruleset for this and a way to work it out, I'd be interested in seeing it. I expect there would be MANY entrants, and seeing Deygos current tournaments spreading over several days, it might be an idea to run several duels simultanously, although you will need some people to help you arrange it ofcourse.

If you get a good set up for this and people are interested in participating, we will support it as best we can. You can contact me at zargar@goa.com about this.

 

[Lanceloc]

Thanks for the positive response Zargar. I will try to create a ruleset and i encourage others here to make suggestions.

After we've figured out the ruleset I'll email it to you.

It would be great if you could post some possibilities of how you could help to run such an event. I mean, can your team create a copy of a zone and control who can attack who? I know you can spawn a teleport npc as Kemor did this in Caer Sidi to allow people to escape a bugged Horseman of the Apocalypse.

In the meantime, I'd like to ask for help in figuring out the ruleset.

Some other suggestions:

* Potions - prohibited (imagine bringing 30 health potions in order to help you win - cheating)
* Insta stun/mez - allowed (use Purge to counter)

 

[ashitaka]

This sounds great, but also sounds crap for scouts, as we stand no chance against melee'rs and we wont be allowed to fight casters..

 

[Lanceloc]

RE: Scouts. What would you suggest? Start at range 1500? So you can get 2 shots in?

How about dividing the tournament further into :

* Fighters (Armsmen, paladins, reavers, mercenarys, thanes, warriors, berserkers, skald, savage, heros, champions, valewalkers, blademasters)
* Rogues (Minstrels, infils, scouts, hunters, shadowblades, bards, nightshades, rangers)
* Magic-users (Wizards, theurgs, sorcs, cabalists, necros, bonedancer, runemaster, spirit master, animists, eldritches, enchanters, mentalists)
* Priests (Clerics, friars, healers, shaman, warden, druid)

Would that be more fair?

 

[Lanceloc]

Also please post a link to this thread on your alliance boards to generate interest and come here to make suggestions.

many thanks!

 

[Vell]

You can't put Friars in the same ranking as healers, wardens, clerics, druids and shamans. That's just a silly idea to be honest, the Friars would win hands down.

 

[Arnor]

im game for anything thats fun

 

[Lanceloc]

So then friars should go into the fighter category? Friars are 50/50 fighter/priest so its difficult. They beat armsmen all the time too, paladins would have no chance against them.

I have a 49 smite cleric and with bunker of faith, 2 insta heals and 41+11 smite spec, I might be able to win against a 49 friar if I managed to stun him, get 3 or 4 smites off, mezzed when he got close, smited a bit more, then insta dd and melee a few times.

A non smite cleric might not have a chance without the pbaoe mez but theyd be willing to try I bet.
