HoneyRider, on Jul 14 2016 - 12:33, said: I was one of the ones that posted in your original thread of
Changes to July tourneys that we should wait and see what WG had to
offer before jumping on the Complain bandwagon. Now that we seen
two of the new tourneys - Weekly 5v5 and Summer play, I have the
following to comment: Weekly 5v5 vs Skirmish 1. 2 hours per
night for 5 nights in a row is a awful lot to ask for a smaller
reward than Skirmishes. Skirmishes were perfect for 3 nights
of 2 hour play then a half hour of playoffs for 3 days. 2. The uber
teams that represent the top1% of server population will no doubt
be in the place to capture 90% of the gold on offer since the
payouts for 5000 to 1000 encompass the top 25% of the
entries. Skirmishes at least had the opportunity for the
average to above average player to place in the top 30% for the 3
days of group stages which meant at least 1500 day money. Now
these same teams can only hope for best of 500 gold for 2 more days
of play. Summer Play 1. Tournament is over a 14 day time
frame so can't commit to any other form of team play 2. No gold pay
out for group stages at all - not attractive to any of my clan
callers 3. All of the gold payout will now go to the top 1% of
players on this server as they are the ones who consistently take
home 1 to 4th and usually 5th to 8th as well. Again - I am
not disparaging anyone for being a good tanker and belonging to the
top 1% on this server but WG - you MUST find a way to reach the
other 99% of us. So far - the best you have come up with is
the Skirmish format. even with moving more of the gold to
playoffs than you had a couple of years ago, AT LEAST the uber
tankers couldn't hog more than the top 30% of the field leaving a
few gold crumbs for the rest of us placing in 31% to 50%
Until WG comes up with some kind of tourney based on seeding by
skill level (God forbid the unicorns having to play each OTHER
rather than seal clubbing to the gold), please bring the last
weekly Skirmish format back for August. dance210: Hi HoneyRider, Technically, part of the reason I put up a
forum post for the tournaments is to receive feedback (the other
reasons are for players to talk about tanks, find teams/teammates
or for me to make announcements if something breaks). Having a
separate feedback thread could be useful, but I would be looking
for very specific feedback, mostly focused on
tournament format. Things like time of day, single vs.
multi-day tournaments, top heavy prizing to few teams vs. paying
out less gold to many teams are useful and can be used. I'm not
sure if that would be more useful, or if it would simply turn into
a discussion about not earning enough gold. The Summer Play
tournament is intended to be more competitive, with the top teams
earning the top prizes and the other teams still receiving
something for their time. Tournaments are (or at least should be)
about more than just gold - it should be about competitive play and
working together. It's easier to win a prize in the 1v1
Throwdown and Platournaments - yes, the prize is smaller but
so is the effort involved in earning that prize. As for the
Skirmish format....I'm assuming you're talking the most recent
version, and not the original 64-team single elimination playoff?
What exactly about that format did you like...the prizing or the
group stage into playoffs?
