Cross server/Country PvP Tournament

Generally in a cash shop based game, you use your own gears so I wouldnt put too much faith in presets. Last game I played that used presets had like 4000 complaint posts on the forums because the presets werent what the average player on the server used

Which if I were to compare these presets from that game to PWI builds it would include things like all chars being vit or hybrid builds rather than pure, clerics using channel stones in weapons, barbs using acc stones, archers running with evasion necks (because its their expected gear according to the game designers) no 5aps chars (not a bad thing honestly but people would complain). I would admit presets would probably be more balanced to show off the skill of the competing players but you would then have massive arguements over which preset best defines each class as everyone has their own sharding, armor, weapon and build ideas

I want Catalyst go there to kick the but of every servers
b:pleased

If they don't use preset gears it will be a disaster tournement. I think certain versions of PW actually have a cap at 3.33 APS (which is good in my opinion), so it would already be unfair if we are allowed to use our gears as opposed to players on other servers that would have a hard time filling up a team of players with full R9 that is actually sharded and refined.

If they do allow people to play their own characters however, it could be a very meaningless tournement. The one thing they will have to consider is, will it be tournement/arena-style (which means Bramble works) or World PvP-style? Otherwise Lost City can just send a team of 6 105 Sins with +12 Advanced Zerk daggers. No point to actually hold the tournement, they will win. In fact, they would need to only send 1 of them. All he has to do is 2-spark/maze steps/ironguard, kill 1 enemy, force stealth, wait for cooldowns. A very interesting tournement that would be.

But let's wait and see what it turns out to be. We can hope for the best, but then again... do we still have hope for the game?

Dunno what would be the point of it. Lost City would win. You seen the amount of gears and R9 they have compared to the only other pvp server? All of the non-cash shopping scrubs moved to Harshlands.

If it's a TW fight, remember what happened to Catalyst vs Valhalla...

Well the assassin thing, if the do so its like 1 kill per 2 min. its kinda low while archer and wizard can resist dmg and do bids or boa to kill several enemy's in seconds

So it's basically that daily Sundown Arena event we don't have only magnified to include all versions of the game?

The fight would be more like random pvp with all server entering one large instance pk other server people. The thing to do would be like wich server can pick the most crystals or something while not geting killed by other people + it the rewards would be based on how much you do so the r9 csers would get everything. And the rewards would be like 2x drop, wraith attack and stuff like that.

Pritty pointless **** if you ask me

I don't know where you are getting this but lets assume that is the format. How is everyone on different servers across the world going to magically teleport to some shared instance?

I would imagine they would set up a private server which you will log, create a char, all will be maxed gear and level, or some cap they choose, so everyone is on equal playing grounds. I don't see them taking the top cash shoppers on each server, duping their chars, and throw them in a pit.

I was hoping for more of a 1v1 tourney, 2v2 and a 6v6 format kind of like some of the existing private servers already do. Those are always fun. Double elimination for the events or something. But who knows what they come up with. If it's a real pvp tourney, why make people dig stuff etc,.
