RvR Tournament Event

[Iheartpancakes]

The RvR tournament was a great idea, and I'm sure everyone had a lot of fun yesterday. Thanks to the GMs holding this event, and congratulations to Syrtis on their victory.
Alsius have been complaining a lot, saying Syrtis and Ignis were ganging up on them, but it wasn't the case from what I saw on the live stream. Syrtis watched Alsius and Ignis rush each other, waited for one realm to suffer enough causalities then took out the rest. Pretty clever, but defeats the whole purpose of 4v4v4 imo.

Anyway, the idea of this post is to say I'd really love to see more of this, but perhaps it might be better to circulate the fights so it's always just 4v4 instead of 3 realms in the same pit. Having a 3 way sounds like more fun, but let's be honest, Alsius and Ignis are always going to go for each others throats first (on Haven anyway).

Once again, thanks for the awesome event. It really shows you thought about Haven's population, and gave anybody regardless of any factors the ability to enter the tournament.

I hope to see it again soon!

Best,

Yes, it was great.
And u are wrong it was clearly 8vs4, syrtis was waiting but when they rushed they simply helped ignis and they didn't hit each other.

I was there, and fight was pretty shit, and this what happnened :
Ignis started the fight and rushed alsius, when we were fighing syrtis rushed from behind and started hitting only alsius, i killed one barb and conju (ignis) and sir gauto killed the other barb (ignis) and get killed by syrtis.

the fight started to be running around, because we were out from mana, both knight from ignis & syrtis were focusing our conju, i was trying to help the conju killed that archer and he get rezed.

our conju died , i died, the fem died.

Don't say BS, we were not complaining for nothing, because we warned GMs that this will happen, and we said better realmVSrealm which is fair.

Anyway i liked a lot this event.

[Anunnaki]

waited for one realm to suffer enough causalities then took out the rest? what rest ? Alsius u mean.

Even if we say that what u wrote is true, waiting alsius to kill 3 ignis then starting fight 5syrtignisvs3alsius out of mana isn't fair too.

[Sentan]

I want to see 3 rounds next time: Syrtis vs. Ignis, Alsius vs. Ignis, Syrtis vs. Alsius :> imo 4v4v4 in the current state of the server isn't the best solution. :D

btw Arena looks great! :)

I was agreeing with you in my OP that it wasn't fair, which is why I'm suggesting we have 4v4 next time. See Sentan's comment for how it should work.

Well, I agree with Iheartpancakes. I really doubt syrtis intentions were to hit only goats.
Anyway, I remember Mere hitting Alinoe when she was low on hp.

They were just waiting to achieve advantage over other teams. I know it might look a bit cowardish, but on the other hand the other two teams were somehow better suited for this. Especially syrtis was there with lvl53 hunter, and no banner(I remember other teams had).

Edit: And yes, I guess 3way tournament will almost always result in something similar like we saw yesterday.

Syrtis played smart considering what they had. They left the Ignis knight to help them because it would be stupid to attack a lone knight when there was still an Alsius conjurer, barb and knight running around. I guess Alsius are pretty sore about losing and saw it as a personal attack. Even Ignis was congratulating Syrtis, and they died first.

Sounds as a good event. Pitty i was whole day at work. How does this event works? At event post on forum i find nothing about it. Was it some kind of deathmatch? Have somebody some link to video from it?

First there was a find the GM in the wz event. After four rounds, the people who found the GM first were entered into the tournament (they also won some minor prizes).
After four players in each realm had won they were teleported to an island to do battle in a 4v4v4 match. Last realm standing won the epic prize which included:
- Perm white lion mount
- x2 diamond lucky boxes
- x5 duel banners
- Power set tome
- Power set

If you're on facebook, you should go follow the GM pages (Humulus Regnum, Tolos Regnum, Nemus Regnum). They'll keep you up to date with the stuff going on in game, and there's been a few nice little goodies lately ;)

Happy to see your opinions about the event!

I personally think the event went pretty smooth. When I look in-game, facebook and here on the forums, I think the event made a good impact on the game. But of course don't forget that this was the first event of this kind that we held. As for all first times, you have to look and explore what works best. We had to make certain decisions on the spot, also the livestream was not saved unfortunately so the footage of the event was lost (Let the conspiracy theories begin). This should all be working and go more natural on the next RvR Tournament on Saturday (6pm GMT).

While there can only be one winner, we do understand your feedback. In a threeway there will always be one that will be backstabbed so we'll see if we can turn the event into 3 rounds of 4v4.

The Arena is indeed awesome and we do intent to use it a lot more. These events give use some good experience on how we can host more future events there.

also the livestream was not saved unfortunately so the footage of the event was lost (Let the conspiracy theories begin).

You can all blame me for this :(

PS. After that incident, I configured Twitch and Youtube. Now everything should be saved and also get exported with decent quality to Youtube.

tbh if syrtis were zerging everything and making all the wishes, alsius and ignis would team up against them

best,

@Anukai

Alinoe was conf (Gelf conf), you see, Gelfs helped you ^^

[Sentan]

Much better this time :) Thanks for fun! :)

[Iheartpancakes]

Yeah, the arrangement this time was much better. Just a shame Syrtis got stuck with 4 archers xD

[halvdan]

I didnt watch the battle, but seeing your team, I'm really amazed.

Did you goatses planned your team?
Or was such dream team (2 barbs, 2conjs) just a random coincidence of events?

I'm really curious, because since goats have like 50 players online at this time, it looks to me highly unlikely that there were two same players both times on this event(today and thursday).

Grats goatses btw! ;p

[Syrtisjakob]

Much better?...
What could possibly 4 archers ( at least one is not even 60) do against
two teams, with 2 conj 2 barbs.. And thats also really weird, Alsius had almost the same team as they had last time...? okay, nvm.
But you were crying here until they changed the "rule" from normal - WZ Way ~which would be the relative way, since there are no rules in WZ, all vs all is the normal way of things.-
Into a barb+conju or you got no chance method. smart enough.
That was randomly unlucky we got 4 lucky archers finding the gm, and noone even tought about handing over their tickets, but by changing the rule, our guys had no chance on the firstplace..
Once in a month finally Syrtis was able to reach something else than !Maybe! defending their own gate against the nonstop invasions (which is also a shame but thats offtopic now).. and the first thing Alsius does is coming here complaining about the unfair game and backstabbing.
Well you guys would go mad and ragequit if you were greens...
Thats not the first time that a status like the current (one realm power) is up, there was a time when Syrtis was the same, or i could mention the brutal Ignis EU late night crew. But it will change over time. Hopefully.
The chances will change then.
This is not bitching, or crying im saying facts. :closed1:

Yes, Zehaha found GM on hunter... I did it on my conju but we swaped to barbs :P

No, you don't understand probably. The chance finding it on hunter is the same as finding it on barb.(isnt trackable as he's from your own realm, right?)
The question is how it happened that you had almost same team than before. You know, in syrtis lower players were looking for it, also players who don't have barb or conj.

If I should be really honest to you, I think alsius was playing for win, instead fun. Like your(lets call it like your realm was calling syrtis before) pathetic realm had not enough victories last 5months.

[Nemus]

Hey guys,

video of the 2nd RvR Tournament can be found in Twitch (http://www.twitch.tv/gcnemus/c/6771665) and Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v9exFfTg9g)

Thank you :)

I have participated in this tournament for the first time :) I don't know why Syrtis players attacked us when we were fighting with reds btw lol.

<EDIT> You should ask GMs, not me.

That's no conspiracy theory there, that's a question you didn't answer.

[Iheartpancakes]

Really, you should play in the tournament on the character you found the GM as (the events are both linked, so should remain that way by keeping the same character). Ignis were told to reskill because they were getting sent to the arena straight away, which is probably why they were first there. We weren't told to strategically select which character we wanted and then reskill. Seeing two of the same Alsius characters pop up as the last one seemed a bit fishy considering their massive population these days. But whatever, I'm sure they'll have an answer for everything, as usual.

[Raindance]

Alsius always plays for wins and free rewards, never for real fun. It is known. But, it's not their fault... we know who to blame.
