Hello all,

Darkon here and yes I know it has been to long since we have had one of these talks so i figured why not now. That's right it's time to talk about our next tourney!!! Here is the set up its a 5v5 tourney meaning you must have a team!!


Rules:
  1. No devices at all this includes gear that may come with special properties like cry babies etc..
  2. Your team must have a themed look because we will be combining this with a CC so best looking team wins some prizes. Now the CC will be judged by the crowd. The crowd will have 60 secs each to share there feelings on who had the best look out of our fighting teams.
  3. All teams must be posted in this thread one day prior to the tourney so the deadline for a team is midnight the day before the tourney.
  4. This tournament is being made with level 40's in mind. That being said if you want a lower level on your team that is your choice and you do so at your own risk.
  5. Players can only participate on one team and yes the team name and all 5 @handles need to be included when a team is registered.

Location:
  • The location will be Carls Gym

Time:
  • 9pm EST

Date:
  • August 2nd which is a Friday

Now think this out a bit when you are picking your teams. Tactics are important in 5 mans that means things like healers and crowd control might need to be used. Sometimes I even like to have a healer and a support debuff/buffing toon on my teams. What and who you have on your team is key to winning these kind of tournaments.

I encourage everyone to participate or even watch. Prizes will be announced here soon, hope to see you all there!!!

    *As it stands right now the winning team of the tourney will receive 2.5kg meaning 500g per team member.

    *The team that wins best look will receive the same amount.

    I am accepting donations to add to the prizes if people want to contribute. More Prizes to come!!!

    Donations so far:
    * @Prototype902 has donated [Steel Commando Helmet][Resistance Wings][Lemurian Gloves][Super-Magnifier].


    Thank you to all those helping with the tourney!!

    I'm not even a very experienced PvP'er, but this seems like it could be fun.

    Question: Are rez powers usable? If so, when is a team considered "down"--as soon as all members are simultaneously down?

    Well once you die in a team duel the game removes you from combat so rez powers would have no use really and yes when an entire team is down they lose.

    What about draws? I mean, if one team has a super tank or healer the other team's members can't kill.
    What happens then?

    Draws are very rare in 5v5 but if it does happen on the rare off chance we will handle it via judges.

    Does the team registration need to include all 5 participating character names or just the team name?

    I'm assuming players may only participate on one team?

    Players can only participate on one team and yes the team name and all 5 @handles need to be included(ill add that to the rules). No need to tell anyone what characters unless the team wants to. Personally i would keep all builds etc.. a secret till the event.

    A crafted travel power just like Dark-speed is a slotted device that goes in your device slot just like any other. You just answered your own question. The variant purchased using a travel power point is of course perfectly fine however.

    Most of the time when people say "no devices" they are really referring to specific devices and not really all devices, so it was and still is a valid question.:redface:

    It was a valid question and i understand where you are coming from with it, that being said I actually am meaning no devices as in no to all devices. The reason for this is because of what has happened in past tournaments. Once you amend one rule for one thing others start trying to get it changed again and so on. So its just easier to have a blanket rule.

    I think someone else used a [Become Nesno] ...too bad it's only one of the temporary ones :biggrin:


    If they released a [Become Smoochan] it would literally end the hero games over night.

    It was posted in zone, the contests channel, i sent them a tell and it was in both pvp channels over the course of a week so if they didnt get a team in on time its on them.
