You've all been eagerly awaiting the details on how the remaining stages of the Battle Tournament are gonna work, well the time for waiting is over.
Starting this Saturday, April 13th the winners of the Quarter Finals, Semi Finals, 3rd Place and Championship will be decided by the Best 2 out of 3 matches rule.
Teams will complete in a 7vs7 Team Death Match, followed by 1vs1 Relay Match and if the teams are tied at one win a piece, a final 7vs7 Team Death Match will decide the winner.
The 7vs7 Team Death Match will continue functioning as they have:
· Two teams will compete per match.
· 7 members per team.
· First team to kill every member of the opposition wins!
The 1v1 Relay Match is going to be much more challenging!
· The 7 members of each team will face off, one at a time.
· No rest during each fight, as soon as you kill an opponent another opponent enters the fight.
· The first team to eliminate all of the other team’s members wins!
Here is the full list of rules for the 1vs1 Relay Match; any team that violates any of these rules automatically forfeits the 1vs1 Relay Match, putting their opponent that much closer to victory.
· Each team must give the GM team the order in which each team member will fight before the match.
o Teams MUST uphold to that order throughout the 1vs1 Relay Match
· Teams must maintain the same 7 members through all their matches of the day.
o You’re not allowed to change members for the 1vs1 Relay Match
· When waiting on the sidelines, you are not allowed to cast ANY skill or attack anyone.
· Resurrection is forbidden (including Salvation skill). You’ve only got one shot.
· There will be a 5 second delay between the moment a member is killed and you can enter the fight.
· You will be given a standard set of buffs during the 5 second period (Guitar, Harp, Horn, Lute, Pipe Organ and Drum melody), your skills cooldown will be reset and HP/MP/CP will be restored.
· There is a 5 minute time limit for each 1vs1 fight, if both warriors are standing at the end of the 5 minutes, the fight will be considered a draw and the next two warriors are up.
· No hair pulling, scratching or making fun of Juji.
This will be a true test of your combat skills, think of a solid lineup strategy and bring your A-game!
These looks to cool ideas. Some creativity what makes the matches are more interesting.
I really wait the weekend!:)
BTW the last time the streaming speed was much better as before. But maybe you should test the Youtube too for live streaming. I think it has better stream speed for the none American players.
What happens when two healers are remaining, can't kill each other, and the 5 min timer expires?
Also, if this is a true test of skills, you should make the arena with pillars and obstacles so that you can kite with. What distinguish a good player from a bad one in Oly is his or her ability to kite. If it's a plain arena, it might as well be a keyboard smashing/skill-crit-luck competition.
lol, hell no, old arena always, so u guyz ll not get the advantage of ur auto target program.
If you can't target in a 1v1...
Either open or obstacles is fine for me, though like fatmaledwarfRumbo said obstacles would make for a more interesting match to watch and a better test of skill.
No harmonies or sonatas. Melody buffs will be level 4.
The winner of the past 1v1 will just get new buffs. They will NOT receive CP, MP, HP, or skill resets.
The Arena will be big for sure.
Before the match starts.
Probably a stupid question, but will ask it out of an abundance of caution:
The ISS will still be allowed to buff itself a harmony and sonatas, correct?

If both warriors are standing at the end of the 5 minutes, the fight will be considered a draw and the next two warriors are up. This rule applies to all classes.
last man stand with cp hp mp filled, and skills reset right?They won't be reset or filled for the warrior who won the previous fight (Survival Mode-style).
Ex: Juji defeats Vali in first relay fight. Cryo is teleported into the arena for second relay fight. Juji must fight Cryo with current HP/CP/MP and skill cooldowns from the previous fight with Vali.

I think Rumble was asking exactly what would happen if it is the LAST fight. Like 6 guys down on both team, healer last on both team, nothing after 5 minutes

If that ends up being the case, then there will be a rematch of the relay.
No one in their right mind is using a program in that tournament.
i don't know about that....i've seen some pretty suspicious play during the tournament. not sure if it's just coincidence, but i've seen some consecutive interrupts in one of the fights.....almost program-like.
i understand no rez or salvation, but what about feathers? will they be disabled for the 1v1?
This rule includes all resurrection skills and items. If you rez during the 1v1 relay matches, you forfeit your match and embarrass yourself.
Feathers and resurrection skills can only be used in the 7v7 match.
· There is a 5 minute time limit for each 1vs1 fight, if both warriors are standing at the end of the 5 minutes, the fight will be considered a draw and the next two warriors are up.
5 min time limit? i've seen the 1v1 fights go way over the 5 mins. can a GM please explain?

it seems that nobody was able to use resurrection skills during thier 7v7 match, only salvation and feathers. can a GM please explain why resurrection skills were disabled?
I dont know but so far the x0a match has had THREE bugs just on it.
One of them was the summoner pet's clearly cheating and having UNALLOWED buffs.
This is the same "dismiss" team that tried to cheat with salvation and got caught, then cheated with the summoner pets having buffs, and then cheated with the double br in a no rez (bug) fight,
So all over the forums the script and exploit warriors nova gets butthurt when their own tactics gets used against them but has no problem when they use them and win then they log in numerous accounts and QQ on the forums about it. The GM's/Cm's are already in your pocket they proved that by not banning anyone with the exploited weapon instead they brought back the aden prize wheel so you could "legit" make more they even go to your CH in game. So stop QQ if ya played fair you wouldnt have one person in the tournament because youd be non factors. your scripts are already gonna get you the team wins dont QQ that you cant have ALL the world.
See the problem is not what they are doing, is what the GM's allowed them to do.
Thank goodness the GM's said they will address all these issues in the chat today, and also reconized they had to test stuff before the tournament, so I am very happy that they are able to reconize their problems and fix them.

Talk is cheap, that's why ncwest only pays people to monitor the forums.

ya, they tested the bugs the day after the issues started. what happened to the teams that the rez bug affected in saturday's matches? the GM's didn't test it then did they? The GM's aren't even answering the questions in this thread. Telling from thier facebook posts, it looks like certain teams are favored. It's nice of NC$oft to change the rules to cater the teams they choose to win. For example, the 1v1 matches on Saturday were all over the 5 min time limit and the resurrection skill never worked on 7v7. Then on Sunday, they decided to test it out? how about testing it for the first match on Saturday?
To make things worse, there are no rematches? They made the rules, but don't follow them, how does NC$oft plan to keep its player base when they cheat them out of the game? It's bad enough you have to pay for participating in events, but now you participate in an event that doesn't even follow the rules that were set out? This is definitely not a game I will support anymore.
Sounds like they need to do rematches to be fair. The res bug i am sure foiled many team's tactics that may (or may not) have changed the outcome of the match. Also double BR was clearly not allowed. Seems there were many things that were buggy with this BT setup and bugs were not caught in time. IMO any team caught exploiting a bug or breaking any of the rules should have forfeited the match and should not be allowed a rematch (too late to enforce a rule like this). That would have lessened the QQ to an extent and possibly left the flaming for some other forum. Also some of the rules should have ben states a bit more clearly like buffing before the match started.
the worst thing is that we paid adenas to play this tournament
Hi NC Soft: These people: ALL THE TEAMS everyone of them PAID for this tournament. You made them pay and now you aren't offering support.
The amount of disrespect you show your players knows no bounds.
Thanks for bringing this up iNobody, I hadn't even thought about it.
Cryo, you have a lot of things to answer to. Many people have reported the PM's of you saying "who cares", "not my problem", "that's your opinon", when they, during matches told you of issues they were seeing RIGHT THERE. (I.E: can you kill me and rez me to confirm rez is working?)
Is that how you treat people? Even in real life? How do you even have a Job as customer support if you are customer upsetting material?
Juji, we know YOU are fair, and YOU have listened to many complains over time and you can see how Cryo is behaving ruining the GM's reputation. Are you going to let him walk over your hard work?
Well they can replace the money to all teams that they refused to give a rematch to. then they would have to explain to the teams that won they cant give them the full prize of adena because they have made it clear they cant fabricate adena on servers and its against their rules.
or give a gold name to all 8 teams on the semi finals, the one that cryo messed up on and refused to test rez and told people to deal with it?

tears for gold nick, amazing.
wouldn't you be mad if you practice almost every night and get cheated from winning? maybe you don't even put time into the BT to care, and that's why you got smashed :(
