Update 15-Feb-2010 - Tournament Beta

[berserker]

http://www.gunrox.com/img/news/tournament-jamxm.jpg
In this update we've added fully automated tournaments. Tournament functionality is still in beta so it is available only for a limited number of players who are chosen to play beta-test tournament this week, but once it is properly tested and fixed it will be available to everyone within a few weeks. Hold on... regular tournaments are closer than ever before!

In this update:
- tournaments (beta)
- memorial boulevard tweaked (more obstacles in center)
- additional effects of explosive weapons (stun, blind, poison) now have no effect through non-visible obstacles
- acid mine now 4 AP (was 6), bear trap now 6 AP (was 4) - we forgot to flip AP when we flipped those two.
- Saviour gold medal now requires 150000 HP healed (was 100000)
- in random battles location is picked randomly between locations of corresponding players.
- in random battles level difference is handled more intelligent (level 18 will not fight against level 20 even if it's 2 level difference).

There's a reason why it's only a beta. We're still trying to work out the bugs and problems with automatic tournaments so that you, the "general public," don't have to deal with those problems that the "testers" find for us.

They were told about the level differential well in advance in another thread in the game discussion forum as we were getting our testers.

wow, i want to be able to play in tournaments!! also im a low lvl 8 player but you can make a survaival mode, and i can team up so you will defenetly loose, lol

I like the idea, willing to get inside the beta or to the final edition...

[Shtaks]

Sweet update, special thanks for the memorial changes.
one thing i notice is that the road now is not in the middle of the map it's always kind of spacious on 1 side, and crumped up on the other.

Would be nice to hear some stories about what the tournaments are like? :) for the noobs who can't play them. Will they be eventually clan tournaments or open for all when they're done?

[berserker]

These automated tournaments are for 1x1 only.

[Sauron]

im lvl 19 so i cant have battle with 20 or 21 lvl in random? :D

[berserker]

You can have it with 20, but not with 21

[Very_Carefully]

I didn't know that you could do abort request! How do you?

[berserker]

We dont do abort requests, you can abort games yourself if everyone in the game agrees.

[knutistgut]

We still testing the tourney but we dont know the exact rules so its hard to find real bugs.

Maybe you can discribe some features. Some question i have for example:

You must select 2 of 3 special timepoints when will fight. If you dont select this at a special moment you are out of tourney. This timepoint is some hour before When is it? Is this always so or at every tourney another rule?

What happen if you wait for a random match, your tourney-opponent start a random match too and the area is the same of tourney. Count this match as a round? If answer is yes: What happen if you start a random match with arts against your opponent and arts not allowed at tourney?

Your last possible time for match comes near:
- You are not online. You are out of tourney?
- Your opponent is offline too? You both are out or just the player who is longer offline?
- You are both online but no match. What happen?
- You are online but oponent isn't online. You win?
- You are online but opponent play another match. You win tourney round?
- You both play another match.
- You are online but away.

The most misunderstanding point was the time.
I believe the showing time-points at tourneysite in the game are the exact time at my own country like the time at the chat. Thats right?

Yes, but at first i dont scroll down to read all :(

Now i know some answers but not all. There is no explaining about random matches or the showing time.

Another suggestion is a open tourney screen for all players. I believe everybody wants to know what happen at a tourney. For example the overview is very interessting for all.

[berserker]

Currently screen is closed cause it's a test tournament so it's only for participants.

The hours of the Games.

I know that can be Choice 2 to 3 hours and I proposed that the game can be played in advance of the hours, just the opponent to be online and accepting the fight.

However, it happened to me twice in the tournament my opponent does not know why postpone until the deadline of combat. Hoping that I probably did not appear in combat, because in Portugal the deadline was 5 am.

My suggestion:

The time limit to start the fight must be up to the 20 or 21Hours of the Night. For one reason.

21h night in Portugal Russia = 00h = 18h Brazil

or

20h night in Portugal Russia = 23h = 17h Brazil

It is just time for everyone, because it is where most of the players live.

All the rest of the tournament is well organized and well done.

Good Work.

Hug and think in this situation

[berserker]

LOL, for you world consists only of Portugal and Brasil :D
What about China, Russia, Australia and other time zones?

[Digital_Death]

i was playing before i downloaded the new update, and it was playing fine. after i downloaded and installed new update, i get disconnected over and over, like every 45 seconds. anyone else having this problem?

[Pimenta]

LOL, for you world consists only of Portugal and Brasil :D
What about China, Russia, Australia and other time zones?

i said 3 hours more for Russia :)

In portugal 20h = Russia 23h is not Late

China (Only Nina) and she dont play many time ago =P

and when i say Portugal is same hour that LONDON

Australia you have Right i agree with you

[Very_Carefully]

We dont do abort requests, you can abort games yourself if everyone in the game agrees. So the one who started the game presses abort and everyone else has to agree for it to work?
