KAG community tournament!

Is it knight only or....?

 

Also, TDM does not permit builder-battles @Humblar_Tabulu , Hopefully this can be fixed by making an arena on a CTF map and pitting builder against builder in it?

Edit : Also, If your in need of using a EU server; Vlyn's Tournament server is always open

 

Half the KAG community does not read

But like
Is it

Knight V Knight
Builder V Builder
Archer V Archer

Like that right or can you mix because

Archer V Knight is usually pretty unfair

 

Have fun getting hype and then dying down after the first match.

 

@Malitha

That is a great idea! If someone would like to make a small CTF map with an arena built right into it, that'd be awesome! Not sure if you can put set resources into storages or something as well, enabling the builders to get readily equipped and into battle asap. Maybe we can input the arena map into each server that get's used. I'm going to have to look more into this, and also, who is the owner of Vlyn's, so maybe I can get in touch with them?

Edit: @dual_chiecken , There are no restrictions, in order to raise the skill-cap even more. (builder v knight, archer v knight, etc is permitted)

 

We better start with plenty of coins then.

 

If this happens, i'm up to it

 

@dinotree is gonna go builder and boulder everyone to death.

 

Yeah he makes a good point. The archer will seriously rekk that knight. Maybe 5 arrow limitation, and no grapple, and the archer has to play with a pitch black screen? That should even it up.

 

It's all up to the person, and what class he wants to play (you should use your best class). That's why there will be an arena that is equally balanced for all classes. We have someone designing it, but if you want to make an arena that will be equally balanced for all classes, please, contribute, and we will put them up to a vote!

 

@Humblar_Tabulu, Vlyn is the owner of Vlyns tournament server, I haven't seen Vlyn in quite a while. But his server is always up and its basically free access to anyone who wants to use it. Password is shiny2

 

Thanks man!

I'm trying to work out a deal with a server host, because I may need to upload a custom map for the tournament.

Yay! Was able to square out a deal to rent servers for a single day, edit: although I couldn't get one in SA, as he doesn't host there anymore. Gonna need help with that one...

 

So no class restrictions are in place, but can we change classes mid-battle (some may like to, depending on the situation or something)? I would assume we cannot, but always good to ask.

 

Will it be like CTF where you buy your things or tdm where you buy it with 50 coins?

 

You are correct in your assumption, @SlayerSean . There will be a place to change your class before you enter the arena, far enough away to make it impossible to see what class the other person is using, but after you change, there will be platforms to prevent you from re-entry.

I've imagined this beautifully crafted arena in my head.... Gonna be good.

Rough draft of the basic idea for the arena, If someone wants to make it!

IMPORTANT

The spawns need to be far enough away from each other so that neither opponent can see the other, so that way they won't be able to switch classes to "counter" the opponent, and will only use the class they are most confident with.​

Everyone thank this Scholarly Gentleman

What a guy!

 

That's very kind of you, thanks

Btw I considered making a thread on the steam forums to promote this tournament, pretty sure there are many active players that don't lurk around here, but it might be too soon. Maybe later when we ge closer to the date

The arena map is looking good too, keep up the good work
