Korgath Arena Tournament Rule discussion and drama archive

[sevenslacks7]

Yde: Moving a lot of posts from here: http://www.twinkinfo.com/forums/f43/arena-tournament-51124/ that are not about actually signing up and looking for arena partner into this thread. This way the Tournament thread will be less cluttered, but we can preserve the rule discussion and opinions on classes, gearing, 2s in general, etc., which was interesting, and the drama, which was sort of fascinating as well. ^^

Re: Arena Tournament

I'd be all over this if it didn't take me 2months just to level my warrior to 20

Re: Arena Tournament

You should try. There are going to be a lot of people leveling toons, so it should be easy to get into dungeon groups, etc.

Re: Arena Tournament

Okay, so I guess I' m just retarded or something, but am I able to use a lvl 20 twink, following all gear restrictions on a p2p account, or does it have to be a starter edition?

Re: Arena Tournament

A p2p account that uses free to play restrictions on gear and professions will be allowed to enter this tournament.

We have not decided on what the requirements for season 2 will be, since season 1 has not even begun.

Please spread the word! We want to make this thing a success!

Re: Arena Tournament

This is the whole reason I even started F2P in the first place. Count me in. Going to have to find an arena partner now or even just some people to play with.

Thinking Warrior or Priest but I'm not sure yet. I'll definitely tell the dozen or so friends I have on 3.3.5a twink servers to try this out.

Re: Arena Tournament

We can get the cosmetic helms on f2ps?
I'd say you keep eyepatch and just ban feral/hunter. It would suck to not have eyepatch on my ret just because hunters are op as fuck.

Re: Arena Tournament

would it be possible to switch partners in mid season or early season and keep the same rating?

Re: Arena Tournament

Stopped reading at eyepatch being banned if I'm gonna be honest. It's obvious you're biased (as well as previous posts) so don't try to lead something like this. Mine as well take away horde crit gear and ban lfh completely since it's the same as agm.. Tbh I'm tired of seeing good ideas like this pop up with so many rules like this is banned and that and this also.. Make a toon, get bis, do w/e kinda comps/arenas you want and fight each other with the best you got. If someone uses a hunt/rdruid oh well, lessen the rules and get more people to want to join and that OP comp won't get that many opponents. Just my 2 c. Gl to whoever decides to do this

I totally agree I would love to do dis on enh shaman but just becasuse horde don't get patchy shouldn't mean I cant use one to help me out on my not amazing dps...
Also I think u guys need to give more time to gear than a week, so plp can get a lfh etc...

Also^^^ lessen up the rules till u see how it goes for realz then u know whats not good to have or what is, however it goes less rules= more plp interested and then come up with some that fit the situation.

I don't know if ill be 100% doing this but gl !!

I am removing the ability to use the Eyepatch out of consideration that there may be cloth users that want to have a fighting chance in their comps. And as for bias, I dont see a motive for me to be biased as, for obvious reasons, I will not going to be competing in the tournament for obvious reasons. The removal of the Eyepatch wasnt even on my mind till it was suggested to me by a more than credible mage in this bracket.

I believe the FEW rules that there are have warrant to them. I dont want to see people botting to reach full BiS, so I set a two heirloom limit, which would be difficult to accomplish in a week in the first place. AGM while it would be nice to have is off limits because it would be to easy for someone who knows 90s on the server to simply farm it and receive a substantial advantage over their competitors, which I explained in the first post.

can we get a list of banned comps and classes which must gimp their gear?

There are no banned class's/ comps at this point, nor is there gimped gear beyond the eyepatch and agm restriction.

Okay, so I guess I' m just retarded or something, but am I able to use a lvl 20 twink, following all gear restrictions on a p2p account, or does it have to be a starter edition?

Your not retarded xD, its a more than valid question.

As long as you are following the F2P restrictions I dont see a problem, make a monk if you want to so long as hey are under f2p restrictions.

You may want to ban DK's... On a side note, can we at least get an idea what classes will be gimped?

 

[Gexceour]

Re: Arena Tournament

so i'm assuming switching partners mid or early season is a no.... i guess i have to find a full time partner (to be continued)

While there are some obvious problems with this bracket, arenas are somewhat shielded from it. I believe the rules already listed are enough to bolster that shield.

Yea I would imagine more than a few people are trying to find a arena partner though. You can switch partners, but it would be a new team.

Also^^^ lessen up the rules till u see how it goes for realz then u know whats not good to have or what is, however it goes less rules= more plp interested and then come up with some that fit the situation.

Enhance Shammy is going to get screwed by no eyepatch but I think its a necessary evil. I wanted to include it when I was thinking of rules, but I was persuaded otherwise.

We can get the cosmetic helms on f2ps?

TI post they can, ive also seen 1-3 f2ps with the helm so it is confirmed.



And just to assure anyone, these rules arent fully set in stone, if I find a major problem I will change it, but I believe all these rules are necessary, but liberal enough to ensure diversity in comps. I am open to any suggestions, but please remember that they are suggestions.
