[OCEU 5s] Questions & Answers

[Jona]

Just wondering, are all of these upcoming events restricted by server or by location? I.e. if people who live in NA wish to play in an EU tourney, or vice versa, they are allowed to do so? Obviously the event will be held on the appropriate server, not the one to accommodate them. Or are these events made so that if you currently reside in EU, you can only participate in EU tournaments, and if you live in NA, you can only play in NA tournaments?

If someone has a hunting crossbow and a DGS, is he/she being count as melee or ranged? Ranged
If ranged, wouldn't everyone grab Hunting Crossbows or throwing knifes to get more infantry? No, because throwing is a ranged class.

Once you bring a ranged weapon, you are now a ranged character.

This is the preference since only 16 teams are allowed into the Group Stage. I know NA has a few EU players who play mostly NA and are even a part of an NA clan. In this situation, I see no reason why they shouldn't be able to play with a team from the opposite region. What we don't want though, is to allow entire teams of NA players taking up team slots on EU, and vice versa.

NA will have their own tournaments, we're just delaying everything by one week.

What about this:

I get 8 mercs.
5 of them leave merc (1 second before the matches start).
I now got no more then 3 people of the same clan!

if you make it only 3 people from one clan allowed in a team, im afraid you wont get 16 teams, you will get 8 at max.

Great plan, but like tydues said, he is checking the logs and characters.

i knows its nitpicking but he should have a "Not been part of their clan/banner for x days/months" rule. If i do the stated above i'm not breaking anny rules.

I just wrote a wall of text about this, I got it when I was about to post it

So it is allowed to get a full infantry team, but only cavalry and ranged are restricted.Thx.

To answer most of the posts in the thread:

Rules Changelog
Removed:

• Each team may only consist of maxmimum three players from the same clan.

Teams will now be open to build as you please.

No, at the moment it's max 3 infantry, simply because we want every class to be involved, not just 5 stack infantry teams (which will suck pretty much anyway).

Thing is you could have 3 infantry and 2 "ranged" with a hunting xbow, no bolts, and melee weapons, which would technically count as ranged but effectively be infantry (with one less available slot)

Yes you could, but like bagge said, that'd be pretty rubbish. Once you come up against a good archer or a HA he'll rip your team apart on nearly every one of the chosen maps.

@Bagge and tydues.
Is there going to be a rule where only the dedicated range player can loot. Like there was in the Clan league?

As for now looting will be allowed for all classes. I will post a more specific list soon.

Too much rules, kill the rules
Anyway, i'm glad that the rule limiting the amount of player from the same clan has been removed.
I still disagree with the inf limit-rule, but well, as you wish

...and dying off one by one from headshots cuz the enemy ranged isn't pressured nor endangered by the berserk team
