I am a europe player, but i play fine on NA servers without any lag.
If i can still participate"
Can I request Huey Newton as my first opponent?
Also, can you use throwing weapons in The Shootout? You wrote Ranged Weapons only..
Well I'll do that then :D
Will you be adding who is in the tournament?
Then I misunderstand exactly what the arena tourney is, why would you 1v1 someone on foot with a sumpter and only a practice lance?
Then don't. The tourney is to be comprised of basic weaponry... You can still use the large practice sword / staff / small practice sword / basic bow from horseback. I worry that the bow may be OP, since there are no practice arrows and it deals alot of damage.
If you want to fight with horses go to the "Continental Joust"
So if an archer was put up against, say, a shielder, he would have no chance at all!
Bull for the Jousting Tournament.
To clarify: The European players mentioned that killing the horse disqualifies you from the joust. You must get a clean kill on the rider, or, to be a total boss, kill both horse and rider on the same pass.
I'd like to suggest the clean-kill rule, as it makes it a bit trickier and more skill-based (in my opinion), and I am an active member of PETA and revile the killing of an innocent horse . But, of course, I defer to the wisdom of the tourney officiants.
(I don't support PETA, actually, that was just a troll comment)
Huh. Best of five seems exceedingly short. It takes about two duels to accurately feel out an opponent. That brings it to pretty much best of three, during which time you can employ at most three fighting styles, if you're feeling stupid. Realistically, best of five plays out like: Try spamming. Die twice. Try facehugging. You lose, GF.
Clean kill for the Joust will be implemented.What happens if someone runs out of ammo, or if it's a thrower versus another thrower?
Regarding the Arena Tourney, the sumpter is basically just there if someone wants to screw around on the horse.
I will be implementing a turn and run five second (or ten second, depending on the general consensus) rule for the Shootout, but this won't be the case for all the other tournaments, so melee has a good chance of running straight up to the archer and bonking him till he's dead.
I think a crucial factor of any fight is how quickly you can size your opponent up, which is why it's best of five. However, if general opinions differ, I don't see why we can't turn the number of rounds up.Ah, figured the reasoning went something like that. Which, I'll say again, is fine for round robins*. But, as I know you're well aware, high-level dueling isn't about who clicks the buttons the fastest or most consistently--it's the player's tactics that win. And basically, with only three kills to win, that quality has little chance to shine. An actually-realistic example of a first-to-three match: You block, stupidly feint your first strike, opponent spams, you die. You attack, opponent chambers, you die. You have no idea if it was intentional, so you adapt an anti-chamber style. Opponent spams into your anti-chamber holds, you die. GF.

Yeah, unlikely to happen, but two luck kills/deaths isn't unthinkable. Then again... Huh. I just remembered, people don't die in one hit. Hmm. I'm too used to Native dueling conventions/wearing a dress. Right-o, disregard anything I've said until I test dueling with armor.
* Also realized I'm assuming the Champions tournament has robins, followed by DEs. Which is probably wrong -- kind of used to fencing conventions also. I need to find something to eat
What if only one side loses their amunition? 24 Jarids against 48 bodkins...yeah.

That's what you get for being a thrower. :PIf a person is still alive, why he should be restricted from picking up projectiles under the rain of opponent's arrows?
If you run out of ammo, you lose.

I believe he was saying that in a sense not referring to a previously unspoken rule, but rather referring to wit and humor in the context of a thrower rushing to pick up his thrown weaponry only to find he is not fast enough to evade the shower of arrows fast approaching.Probably. But I still wanted to clear it up for myself.

I apologize because I will not be able to participate in your tournament. Yesterday my profile was hacked and my character was deleted. If you want help with organization or anything else ill help. Also I believe they should make a option for bringing back a deleted character and ill talk to chadz about it.

Tourney of the Champs ! arena tournie as well !
hopefully ill know the date of the tourny if i can be available :D
It'll be an ongoing thing rather than a competition that's done in one night. It'll be your job to arrange a time with your opponent to duel and report the results to an officiant. If there are any disagreements, that's where the officials come in.
