IDEA + POLL NA/EU Official Events/Tournaments

[Herezy92]

Hello ladies and gentlemen !

This topic is about the official Events/Tournaments coming soon on cRPG.
You can find here the main topic which gave me this idea.
All informations are in this link :
http://forum.melee.org/general-discussion/official-na-eu-events-tournaments-(this-means-unique-rewards)/

----------------
The devs are going to make some events and tournament in cRPG, and the question of balance/equality came quite fast.

And so here my idea :

For the next official events & tournaments i think balance is necessary. (but not a strict pure balance, i thought about something more "free")
And so what if we create a new character type ? (not an alt nor a STF) but what about a TC(tournament character?)
The TC can be used only on Tournament server,
The TC can not gain money /xp
The TC can respec at anytime he wants without losing xp
The TC is stuck at a dedicated level (the level decided by the devs)
Level of TC is determined by devs before an Event/Tournament.

For example :
If a special event "Peasant-war" is coming with special award, the devs will set the level at 10.
Then later, in another Event/Tournament, the devs allow us to fight with very high specialized build (level 33)
After those funny events, the devs decides to make a "normal" Event/Tournament, and so they set the level back 30.
etc.....

(It can be funny to allow players to have/try more dedicated builds according to the different levels the dev offers)
EDIT: Thanks to Utrakil
The character could buy all equipment for free from the shop, but he wont be able to transfer anything.
With this character, we allow new players, poor players, etc... to participate in this event.
(More players we have in an event better it is)

So guys, what do you think ?

[Moncho]

An important point: how would they get equipment?
You cannot have them own every single item, since there is a limit to the amount of items displayed ingame, so what would you suggest, them being able to buy and sell anything from the shop at any time?

[Herezy92]

Hmmm, good point about the shop.
I'll think about it, but feel free to post your ideas.   

[Utrakil]

Maybe it is possible to introduce a "tournament charakter" on the c-rpg page wich can only spawn in the eventservers. This charakter could buy all equipment for free from the shop, but is not able to transfer anything.
This would solve the loomproblem and give poor players the possibility to gear up propperly for the event without loosing to much money to a STF.
level and respec would be like the STF.

I think respect is something that needs to be earned.

[Herezy92]

I think respect is something that needs to be earned.

For the normal characters in official servers, yes i agree.
But for a fight in a special event made by devs, i think not.

Moreover, considering that the level is fixed by devs, having a respec wont influence your level (because its not you who chose what level you will be...)

This is why there is a difference between the TC and Alts/STF.

It made me lol

Aha shit, i just saw, i failed my copy paste. 
Anyway, i fixed my mistake.

@Gnjus, good pun, you got me

The character should rely on what kind of event/tournament it is.

If it's a rageball tournament then STFs should be in use, if it's 5v5 tournament I'd have nothing against using our own characters that we leveled up, it's cRPG after all, not native, we don't always have to be equal but in some cases like rageball matches or races or some other events STFs should serve as Event/Tournament Characters.

Char type allowed depends on event I say.

Someone should make a hunger games style event, a pile of weapons in the middle with 8 people all equal distances away from them. last one alive wins

^^^
First one to get a wep just sits on the wep pile and wins... make some advantage for not going right for the middle, and then maybe.

[Joseph Porta]

I would rather see a certain amount of gold given to the char depending on what event is going on - everyone would get the same amount and balance etc etc etc

After the event is over the shit'll get whipppppeddd
