    If PWI's tournament is basically just full of the best r9s from each faction, wouldn't it almost be the same as if they were all given equal gear? Coming out on top in our tournament is still going to require some skill because those competing aren't likely to be facing people they can 1 or 2 shot.

    Not really. R9 also varies depend on refines. There's only a couple of full +12 R9s on HL. There are a few full +10 with +12 weapons, but their chances against full +12 isn't good. R9s with full jades will have big advantage over ones who only have temp shards and etc. There's maybe 1 or 2 factions on HL that can come up with a full R9 team, even with those, refines vary. With the rest that aren't R9, refine differences are also big.

    blah that means the ones that go to china better be good without R9 or they gonna be an embarrassment there :S

    Yez it looks like it will be the best skilled of our server's well sharded/refined R9's representing us(IF they take out the stupid-*** PvE aspect >.>).

    Also, not sure if I answered it already, but Chi will be reset when you enter the arena. You will be given a minute or two to prepare before the battle starts, so you can use that time to Chi up.

    Hey Studmuffin, the list is up here: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1142141



    And we will be porting in all combatants 5-10 minutes before the scheduled battle time for each server.

    And good luck out there.

    The Alternate won't be summoned into the instance, but I do believe most if not all buffs carry over when people are summoned in. Therefore, the sub or any other player can buff your squad before they are ported in.

    uhm... to be honest that doesnt make any sense. i mean like i'd rather take a DD then than a barb and just have a barb sub buff me. no fair ... buffs should be from the squad that is fighting.Main reason why factions decided to take Barbs in squad.Because im sure anyone would prefer an R9 DD over a barb that just runs around... seriously that should be changed, all buffs dissapearing once going inside the Arena same with Chi.

    All right. I think we can pull that off. We can't change the mechanics of the arena itself, but what we can do is, upon summoning the character, if he or she has any buffs, we will kill them, and then summon them back. When you die you just get ported to another part of the instance anyway, so I think this should resolve it.

    To make sure, I'll test this first thing in the morning.

    Think this should take care of any buff issues?

    First page.

    K so put simple, all the biggiest cash shoppers will be doing this tourny, perhaps if this was a somewhat skill based game, it would be interesting, but this game is so far from skilled that it's no longer funny, g/l PWI with your fail event.

    Hi , I was passing on forums and saw ur comment .

    i'd like to say that there is many people who never cashshoped and now are from most OP's on our server.its about being smart active "not scared from big goals" .

    Poorly planned out on the US servers. If it is going to be equal gear sets in china, then it should have been here as well...


    The code is already in the game to hand out timed gears. Much like the newb chest quest deal. Adjustments could have been made.

    frankie, what happens if the winning team gets squad wiped to the boss? Does the server just auto-fail or will the runner-up team be able to give the boss a shot?

    Edit- Didn't see this...
    The arena is basically just the raised platform from the Theater of Blood. Once on the platform, you won't be able to run down the stairs or anything.

    Wouldn't it make more sense to give the combatants free reign of the center area instead of just the platform? I mean, that platform is rather small. Giving more room will allow teams to coordinate better.

    We're working with every tool that the developers have given us. If we had such a timed gears tool, we would have used it.

    We aren't able to modify the arena on the fly, any kind of change to the dimensions would require more coding and a new patch.

    Given that we won't have more than 4 teams in the arena at any one time, I think there should be enough space, but we'll see.

    Slightly disappointed that they spawned Harpy. Maybe just me but I find it so unoriginal and almost a joke for the levels and gears that are participating b:surrender

    That's an understatement. I don't think they understand how much of a **** easy tea party PvE is to top geared people, or how PvE kill=/=PvP skill.

    Probably too late, but they should reverse the selection process.

    -Top 4 times to kill harpy, any longer will be instant dq
    -1st pvp round is 4th vs 2nd
    -2nd pvp round is 3rd vs 1st
    -Final round is winners of previous 2 rounds against each other

    I just hope you have a sit down with whoever makes these "tools" up and convince them to implement them before any other PWIC type event comes. There IS timed gear in the game, (nub weapons, general's blessings, runes, guild base stuff) so thats one code. There are quest in the game to recieve timed gear, so there is two codes.. re-adjusting a copied version but level requirement may have to come from china? but to make events as HUGE as these fair across the board they should be made sure to make them adjustments before participating.
