.....*Tourney*! Finally!

@eirghan Yes, sorry! Just local version for now. When we wanted to push cross server, CN did not want it on a "weekly" timer because they did not want Crown of Madness's to enter the servers at an increased rate. Beats me why they set their expiration times like they did, but cross server version has been working for a while, so all we'd need to do is flip the switch. CN wants "seasons", but I'm going to see if I can pitch just built-in seasons based on ticket expiration time so we don't have to deal with all the usual things that come with backend legwork. (datapulls, whitelists, tickets flooding Customer Support etc.)

I know people are going to be unhappy with no immediate cross server competition, but I hope there is enough of a track record on here for there to be a vote of confidence that we can get cross server running as well soon!

Side note - keep in mind we have a huge expansion coming, so I'll be juggling between checking all the new content plus keeping up events, blogposts and such. So you might see slower response times in 2017 due to increased workloads.

The majority of rewards can be obtained from local version. The only rewards that would necessitate a cross server version to "farm" them are Zenith Skulls (Which have a local version exchange as well, so this is not "cross server exclusive") and the Draconic Essence (which can be farmed also from having a higher leveled Homestead for the daily quests). You'll notice these items both say they need "Token of Passion" on them versus all the other items which will say things like needing Token of Tenacity, Might or Valiancy. I will say at least for the Draconic Essences, it might be lower effort to do cross tournament than trying to have daily quests at the homestead level you'd need to be at.

The helms are from doing the Championship Round for local version tournament, so you can get those weekly as well. Those helms are also not bound, so you can sell them to players if you wanted to.

Hope this helps!

@catgirldesu As a player, I'm tickled pink about it! I get the best eyebrow raises over it. "You're actually happy about this?" Yes. Yes I am.

As a tester...that's a different story. Which is why I've started keeping a poorly Google translated eye on the PWCN forums to see what to watch out for.

oo thanks so much!

feel kinda stupid now, looks like i scrolled over the token of tenacity at least 5x when i was checking dull zenith skulls crafting possiblities
-fixed mouse scrolling speed-


ps. any chance we get that fashion set as a permanent option this yr? xD

@eirghan Salt of the earth though, if that were to happen. It'd be like, "You like this cute fashion? Yes? Well here's a 3 day version try-before-you-buy, because now it's in the shop GG". Heh. My playertalk is showing.

If anyone asks why it's in the shop, totally blaming you.

@heero200 Oof, bad time? We shifted it one hour later, since before it was supposed to be 19:50 local server time. Bound to miss some people, which is unfortunate.

yer thats 4am for me...

to be fair its not an event that will cause a gear gap like NW. People not being able to NW will because they cant get the mats any other way than to buy.

I like to look for solutions so we can find a win win position for PW and players. I know when it comes down to it X server time is gonna be a pain for someone. EU are going to have a better position. Only way to deal with this is to have 2 events at different times. Am and PM so you cover a lot more of the base. your never clear everyone. This is the same problem your have with XPvP server wars. you run it 8pm server time the US will be at work / other things.

Really and truly an open PvP area with some XServer quests would be nice. Our version of PW is very different to PWCN in the timezones. Im still a hard set on getting the right result for us. Worth a thought. Ok so lets go one more step. what about an XServer FB / Instance / Dungeon Open all day...

Im kicking my self with all these ideas im gonna design my own MMO... yer I wish...​​

Hey if you need someone to test feel free to gimme a call ​​

I noticed the TNF was pushed one hour and it actually made me a bit happy as someone who plays on a server with way different time than my own, though my preference would have been pushing it two hours, that would fit my rl schedule and I might even have been able to go sometimes. Oh well, I cant have everything my way lol.

@kalystconquerer#0876 The people that are ex-Harshlands and are part of the west/east coast on the European server are pretty upset right now with the release of TNF and not being able to attend due being forced into this server with the European time zone after the merge. It would be really nice or a solution to this, right now, if we were able to do a merge, how about offering the poor Harshlands players some sort of server transfer? I'm fairly sure that's possible if we had merges going on. Simply do that suffix thing you guys did like when the servers were merged and Harshlands had a HL tag (if needed). I don't see any other solution to the ex Harshlands problem other than that; thoughts?

And please, do not quote me with the ''I'm European and I used to play on east/west coast time zone''. First of, back then, there was no European server so it was by your choice to play by those rules. In our case (my case as well), I did my character in Harshlands because it was east coast which is my time zone; I NEVER signed up for a European server time zone. So that... was taken away and now we have this mess. We got forced into something we did not want nor we chose; we selected that server for a reason, because it was our time zone. If the European people were already playing out of their time zone, that was already a decision and they could either keep it or not, us ex-Harshlands did not decided for this and we deserve some sort of aid.

Also, this is apart of all the other events that we cannot attend. So please, do a exception in this case and offer us ex-Harshlands some sort of transfer back to our time zone.

Sincerely, a 8 years veteran player.

Is still the "bug" when you are in a squad you cant get opponent your squad members?
Also if you stay afk during the fight while opponent do the same, both players qualify for the next stage?

Is any solution of these problems?

Cause people from big guilds will have a benefit doing nothing and win somehting

@beast21g AFKing during a fight won't work because the boss orb that spawns dealing damage will start killing people off randomly one at a time until half of the players advance and the others move on. Sure you could AFK, but the way the system pairs you, you will always end up in the bottom brackets compared to those that progress normally.

@dingo488 No chests to dig to progress, thankfully. The only chest you can dig is at the end, which is an optional match players can participate in for a local version tournament helm. The reward chest will be automatically placed in your bag depending on which "Hall" you're in, and you can completely skip doing the Championship match if you want. There is a short window of time to register for this optional final match, otherwise you can just exit the tournament after all bouts have been finished.

It was awesome on dawnglory! Thanks for fun everybody
