From the distance the sounding of drums can be heard beaconing the strongest warriors in all the land to take up the call. Amid the cacophony of marching beats the scream of a Dragon cuts through the air! Ladies and Gentlemen, the PWI Crew proudly present PWI’s first Spring Season Dragons’ Conquest Tournament!

This is a very special tournament designed to find the strongest most unstoppable faction in all the land to crown them Champion of PWI!

How this works is pretty straightforward:

During Maintenance on March 15th we will be resetting the current points on Ranking. And then… Let the games begin.

Start Date: 03/16/2016
End Date: 05/17/2016

Once the tournament begins, standard rules of Dragons’ Conquest apply. From March 16th until May 17th, cross-server rankings will be updated each week after the battle. From there we shall determine the faction who possesses the most points, and it shall emerge victorious!

The Points System is calculated as follows:
- If a faction only has Level 1 territory Vile Dragon Camp, points will be: 10 * total territories of Vile Dragon Camp
- If a faction has territories of both LV 2 Swirling Dragon Valley and LV 1 Vile Dragon Camp, points will be: 10 * (total territories of Swirling Dragon Valley + total territories of Vile Dragon Camp)
- On the End date, if a faction only has LV 2 territory Swirling Dragon Valley, and no LV 1 Vile Dragon Camp, they receive no points.
- Success on a war declaration of LV 2 Swirling Dragon Valley and possessing it, that faction will receive an extra 10 points.
- Success on a war declaration of LV 3 Dragon's Meet and possessing it, that faction will receive an extra 40 points.

We will send out rewards based on the ranking in game at NPC Rong Utshi within 2 weeks after 05/17/2016.



Rewards:
Please note that all rewards are Per Faction and NOT Per Character.


Champion Faction: (★★★Crest of Dominator * 5) (Medal of Glory * 30) (Seal of War * 400) (War Avatar Chest A * 30) (Conflagration Dragon Mount * 1)
Second Place Faction: (★★★Crest of Dominator * 2) (Medal of Glory * 20) (Seal of War * 400) (War Avatar Chest A * 20)
Third Place Faction: (★★★Crest of Dominator * 1) (Medal of Glory * 20) (Seal of War * 400) (War Avatar Chest A * 10)
4th - 10th Place Faction: (Medal of Glory * 15) (Seal of War * 300)
11th - 20thPlace Faction: (Medal of Glory * 10) (Seal of War * 200)

    Please change the Sovereign Seal prize to Seal of War or something else that's actually usable in our version currently.​​

    While at that, also edit the cross-server chests to replace the sovereign seal and other useless item with 2 useful ones for our version.​​

    So if the rewards are anything like the tower competition, they'll either reduce the final reward or just not bother sending it out. Why bother with a competition in this game when none of them are done right. Point and case... Sovereign Seals.. Anyone that actually plays PWI knows those aren't used in our version.

    Also they may take points before the last week of event (End Date: 05/17/2016) and say we should of known to get more points before the time of (lets says 05/10/2016) xD

    scroll down the news page (maybe they updated it later), its a Crown of Madness basically ( with +8 atk lvls to make up for the lost 9 atk lvl set bonus)..but not stashable, gg

    my god the Sovereign's Seal is so PWI in a nutshell, i wonder if they have a single GM that can name all the classes(without cheating)

    Ah I didn't see the news post yet. Might be handy to mention that kind of stuff in the OP as well, but oh well.
    I'm gonna guess they will switch the sovereign seal with Seal of War (the one we actually use)
    (Unless PWE knows about an upcoming content update that will actually use sovereign seals but that's unlikely)

    @thenamesdomino clarification please.​​

    Update: We are now changing the Sovereign's Seal to the Seal of War, in addition I have filled out the appropriate tickets to make sure that our item send will be sending the correct items. Great catch everyone!

    Did you also address the standard reward chests from Dragon's Conquest? Those also falsely contain Sovereign's Seals and need to be changed to Seal of War.

    Faction Signet Bag (5%)
    Dragonlord's Coin - 100 (91.3%)
    Sovereign's Seal (0.5%)
    Grand Commander's Order (2%)
    Medal of Glory (0.2%)
    General Summer's Token (1%)

    besides the sovereign seal, grand commander's order is also useless to us.

    So once again Dawnglory is getting preferential treatment in this cross server BS. As was witnessed in the first attempt at Dragon Conquest, with scores being equal, Dawnglory gets ranked first. It's not enough that they get stronger week after week because their endgame upgrades come way cheaper and easier than on the other 3 servers due to preference in NW, they also win ranking on ties.

    Lol you best get ur complaints ready again if you get so salty over results

    In case of a full 2 hours XTW the winner will also default to Dawnglory.
    Since you are unable to switch battles or enter a battle when its been going on for 5 minutes means the only factions that can defend while at the same time fighting another major faction in XTW will be factions with well over 100 people available, which at that timezone will only be the Dawnglory factions. And all factions are forced to prioritize defending their lowest tier land against whatever weak faction is attacking it since if you lose ur lowest tier land you will no longer receive points

    I suggest you just let it go n try to have sum fun :)

    The winner would only default to DA if both sides had the same number of points at the end which is extremely unlikely unless we get another mass dc at the start. Even then it might not. I can't say for sure as I've never been in one that ended with equal points at the end. During the first one with a mass dc my side had captured one of the resource points and our opponent did not, so we won.

    Was referring to the final standings. If two factions have let's say 100 points, the one from Da will be ranked higher on the list. With such a short time frame (8 weeks), it's not at all unlikely for factions to have similar point totals.



    As far as SoW as a reward, kinda happy with that, let Da get the short end of the stick for a change. That reward is 10x more valuable on TT.


    And yes, I'm bitter.

    I was responding to dingo488 or qontrol actually, about the 2 hour tw defaulting to a DA faction.

    Ah ye thats possible, I guess we dont rly know just how oftenly a scenario like that will occure...

    Either way I dun care about winning/losing, but im hyped /o/
    My only real worry is that defending ur old land is 100x more important than taking a new one, so Im a little worried for the factions on TT/Tideswell/Etherblade, wether they'll even have enough people to then have a proper 1v1 vs the other big factions with the resources they are forced to spend on defending against whatever weak faction is attacking their old land

    The very first xTW Hoorah had more points than HaxSquad (and then the mass dc happeed), yet HaxSquad won.​​

    My only beef about this, is that player like me who support lower ppl in smaller faction have no access to event like these. This game is less and less and less interesting every time I play. Oh and getting a house that you probably copied for skyrim or FB is not going to make me value this game more. ( By you I mean the ppl who desing this game ofc, has you the real you have no power on this development, at all. )

    yes you have access to this event just your guild must bid for cross server TW, i saw guilds with no lands that bided and got qualify. So dont say BS about oportunities and not having access.

    have a nice day

    The map should have been reset with the TW map reset but it never happened.

    Factions are going to enter this competition with an unfair advantage from the DC.

    When problems were pointed out to you early in the Heavenfall competition you ended up ignoring the complaints and canceled the competition after people had already wasted their time. Don't make that mistake again.
