Exploding Penguin -> Tournaments (11/6/2012 18:20:19)
|
I was looking over the very early design notes of the game around alpha, since I was interested in how the game used to run, and I came across something interesting. It said that elites could possibly have access to special features of multiple types, including tournaments. I wanted to bring up a suggestion for...let's say a seasonal/montly ED tournament? This is how I think this should work were it to be put into the game:
General Rules:
-People of the same level can only face each other. (No level 34 vs 35, etc... Only level 34 vs 34, 5 vs 5, you get the point)
-Boosters are not allowed. This is meant to turn away builds that are built off of dependence of boosters, especially on classes with limited energy.
-If there are specific tournament clauses, you must follow them. (More info later)
-Tournament matches against a specific person are best 2 out of 3, single elimination brackets. This is to promote the idea that people who are "less skilled" or have "worse builds" shouldn't win just because they became extremely lucky with a crit/block/deflect fest.
-Fight turn limits are 15. Once turn 15 ends (the person who goes last on turn 15 finishes their turn), the match is declared a draw and no wins are given to either side. This is because there are still some instances of CHs/TMs heal-looping with low level heals against super tanks, and this could essentially lead to 40-50 turn fights where at that point it would only take luck from one side or the other in order to win the fight. Luck is not a promoted idea, so that's the baseline.
-Clause rules may break specific general rules, depending on the clauses.
Tournament Clauses (These are just some basic ones, it's up to the game makers to change these to their liking):
-Membership Clause: People with varium equipment cannot play against people with no varium equipment. (Even having one varium weapon/armor equipped on your tournament build will count as varium)(Enhances do not count toward being a varium player, even if they were applied using varium. If you want to fight a credit player, this means you can apply enhancements with varium onto all-credit gear)
-Class Clause: Each class can only fight someone else of the same class. This is to be fair, because some classes are more powerful on base skills than others are.
-Boosters: Boosters are allowed in this clause.
2v2 Specific Clauses (Yes, there is a possibility for a 2v2 tournament, although it'd be way harder to be put together):
-No spreadfire guns
Special Rules:
-Finals are best 5/9, to make sure that fairness is truly executed and that luck had minimal play in the true winner
-There will be a seperate bracket for each category baed on clauses applied, and once there's a champ in each category, the winners all fight each other in a round-based tournament (everyone fights everyone else, no elimination). Whoever has the most wins will be the winner! There will be prizes for the top 3 in each category bracket, as well as the top 3 of the round-baed tournament.
Prizes:
Prizes could include promos, artix points, cheevos, and other privileges.
