    Update: We have modified the rules slightly. Instead of one free-for-all match, there will actually be two. Half the teams will fight in the first, and the other half will fight in the second. The winner of each stage will then face off in 6v6 combat to determine the server winner!

    We're making this change to give the teams more room to maneuver, as well as to add a true 6v6 element to the tournament.

    Here's how it looks in the News Post:

    o The match is a free-for-all between teams. There will be two free-for-all stages. Half of the teams will fight in the first free for all, and the other half will fight in the second free for all.

    o Upon death or log out, characters will not be able to get back into the PVP area.

    o Last man standing wins for his team.

    o The winner of the first free-for-all stage will then face the winner of the second free-for-all stage in 6v6 combat.

    o The winner of the 6v6 battle will then face a powerful PWI Boss. This fight will be timed.

    o The team with the fastest boss-killing time out of the sevent winners will advance to the PWIC Tournament!

    Please, take out the pve element or else you are going to put potential competitors in a very unpleasant situation about what classes to pick for their teams. You are signing a death warrant for PWI's competitors.

    If you take the time to review this thread, you'll find well over 20-30+ questions. All have been unanswered. Whether they are small, or whatever... The event is next week Frankie. Remember, that there is a limited time to get this kind of information out, before the players actually begin to partake in this event. If they are misinformed or completely clueless, the event will be surely a disaster.

    On assassins stealthing for the whole match:

    Though they may be invisible to other classes, the assassins involved should still be able to see each other in most cases. Due to the relatively small size of the arena and the likelihood that they may be targeted or hit early on, whether by AoE or another assassin, this may not actually be an issue.

    So far, the only modification we'd make to the rules is to add some sort of time limit to the free-for-all battle - possibly something like "if there has been no pvp combat for 60 seconds, all stealthed characters must reveal themselves."



    On why there is a timed boss battle:

    We are not able to copy characters to another server, which is what we would need to do to let the different server champions duke it out. Incidentally, this is also why we don't have server transfers.

    However, it does bring an interesting balance element into the competition - load up on heals to survive the longest and your boss kill time will suffer, not to mention your ability to win the 6v6 should you get that far.



    On not answering questions:

    Up til now I've been adding all responses to the original post in this thread. From now on I'll reply normally as well as add the response to the first post. Thanks for bringing that up.

    On sins stealth: There are tons of 105 sins now , if those hit 11 lvl shadow escape, NO ONE can see them - incase you were not familiar with the game's mechanics...

    How about you just set a mob similar to the one in cube 14/34 that does minimum heals, brings out of stealth & does not interupt the aoes of other classes or smth.

    the pve element is still a very weak way to choose people for a pvp tourney. Pve in this game has that one dominant strategy, remember?

    Can we just send 1party to represent each server to China? or we create character on a server and have some preset gears to battle out instead of the fastest team to kill a boss to win. Maybe a team with caster, low aps but an other server champion has more aps, so the team with more 5.0 more likely to win the opportunity to go to the international tournament. From the pvp point of view, that doesn't mean the team with more caster, less aps characters will lose to a team with more aps 5.0. That changed to a pve contest imo.

    I'm assuming this will take place inside the arena of blood. Will the sin buffs (focused mind / tidal protection) you currently get in there be on during the event?

    Though it's the same instance design as the Theater of Blood, there are no Hearts, Horns, or NPCs for you to talk to.


    Oh and here's what the arena looks like for those who don't know. There are invisible boundaries within the top platform - they are approximately two tiles outside of that little decorative square border., so it is impossible to jump off it or go down the stairs.

    Frankie I re-ask my question about outfitting everyone with equal gear
    Cytte - Harshlands wrote: »
    Out of curiosity, Why not have a PWI dev (if we have one) just create an npc in an area that can only be accessed with an item sent to those ~360 specific players (like a restricted cube room or something) and have that npc sell tourney gear for 1 coin each?
    Like open the arena (that can only be accessed with a special non-trade/sell/accstash) for the duration of the Preliminary and make a npc to sell tourney only items. I've done this easily on private servers, so my question is why cant this be done here?
    And I have another.

    Why was this told to the PWI population so late? I believe the Chinese side of PW announced this some months ago, and we in the forums didn't get confirmation till earlier this month or late last month that we would even be participating. And those who don't browse the forums didn't hear till this week. So, well why weren't we informed of such a grand occurrence till a month or two from the "finals" so to speak?

    We did not feel comfortable announcing anything here until we had full confirmation on the logistics of the PWIC (dates, travel requirements, accommodations, etc..), how the tournament was going to function in China, and what kind of tools would be available to us for our own tournament. For a while there, it looked like we'd have to hold our tournament in one of the Bored rooms in the Cube lol.

    We also needed time to test the tools that were given to us, then to create a gameplan that would take all of that into account.

    Long story short, we didn't want to announce anything until we were sure that it was happening and that it was going to function.


    Regarding your question about equal gear, I believe it's answered in the first post.

    So how are you all picking which half goes with which half? Will it be random, seed-like or what?

    I don't know if this has been asked/answered already, and I can't be bothered going through 14 pages of QQ/rage, so I'll ask here.

    Two people from the squad are sent to China to represent us, leaving the other five squad members to participate from their home computers, so my question is: will there be localisation for the members that are to participate outside of China, or will they be left to endure the debilitating ping?
