Tournament: Clash of Classes

☠EvilTouch☠ · #1 Oct 19, 2016, 06:10 pm

For the first time ever, we are going to crown the best of the best on each class !

You think you are up for the challenge ?

This time there will be no excuses !

You will be fighting against your own class !

Before registering, make sure you read and understand all the rules and regulations. So you dont get any excuse to complain when you lose.

Each class will have its own set of Rules and Restrictions. Open the spoiler that contains your class.

Below we will describe how to register, please make sure to read this carefully.

PLEASE CHECK THE SCHEDULE FOR THE FIGHTS BEFORE YOU REGISTER. IF YOU CANT PARTICIPATE IN A DATE SPECIFIED PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER AND GIVE SPOT TO SOMEONE ELSE. IF YOU FAIL TO FIGHT IN YOUR ROUND AND TURN REMEMBER THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY REWARD.

To register you will need to reply to this topic with the following:

Character Name
Character Class

We will accept 32 registrations for each class. But we will keep more names in the list, even if registered after the 32 first ones. We will check all the names and accounts, so if you, for example, registered in 33rd but after we check someone wasnt eligible we will grab you and remove that other person. I hope this is clear for everyone.
A track counter will be displayed "here" so you can check how many registrations we have on each class.

Players can only register one character per account. If you register several characters form the same account, we wont accept any of the names and wont register any character, so read this before you complain later.

Character must be Level 150.

After checking the character, if the level doesnt meet the requirements, the said character will be removed from the registrations list.

Next thing you guys need to know are the overall Rules and Regulations which apply to every match with any class. Make sure to read them well so u understand what is allowed and what is not.

~Rules~
First thing to know about the rules is the potion that can and cannot be used, so here is the list:

Allowed

Iron Ridgeknife
Brew of Morai
Any "normal", "non-op" potion is allowed, few examples below:

Sutra Power Orb
Vacuity Powder
Charger Orb
Dew of Star Protection
Raging Sun Orb
Death River Toxin

These are only some examples, the ones that players use the most. If you have other potions that you think that should be added here for easier check up, just contact a GM please.
These normal potions cannot be used before the GM start the fight between the 2 characters, only after.

Not Allowed

Spirit Potions are not allowed obviously

Chocolates of any kind arent allowed

Allowed but limited

These potions OR skills described below will be allowed and accepted but you can use them only once.

Calmness Dew
Tree of Protection

The links sends you to the genie skills tree, but im pretty sure everyone knows this skill

~Regulations~
Regulations will basically describe how the fights will be, the time and dates they will take place, environment rules, among others, so read well this next part.

The fights will have a fixed time, this means that we will set a time for your fight and you will need to be present at that time.
We will NOT wait for players after their fight time.

In this situation, its asked the players to be online earlier than their fight time, so they dont get disqualified.

You will be able to follow the brackets and all the results in the following link:

Schedule

(Browse through the sheets of the Excel document to check all the information)

We will have one fight each 8 minutes. Doesnt matter if you win in 1 minute of in 7 minutes, we will always wait for the timer on the clock.
Take note as said above, if you are not here in time you will be disqualified.

Fights will have a maximum time of 10 minutes.
After the 10 minutes time, if there isnt a winner, a duel will take place. Duels will have extra rules, following the same below.

The "Calmness Dew" potion and the "Tree of Protection" genie skill will not be allowed
Heals will have a count, which cant be more than 6 of any skill. Check the classes below

Wizard

Morning Dew

Cleric

Since Cleric will be forced to fight in Ultra Violent Dance, there is no heal count required.

Mystic

Break in the Clouds
Falling Petals
Comforting Mist

Players will be forced to start the fight with their own buffs / skills.
This means the players are no longer able / authorized to start the fight with extra or outside buffs that do not belong to their class. For example the usage of:

Renewal Orb
Dew of Star Protection
Raging Sun Orb

among other potions, will now start to be forbidden to be used before the GM says "GO" or "Start", what ever used to start the fight.

Surroundings:
Some classes can take advantage of certain surroundings, such as, chi dummy, flag, npc or even a GM. So to prevent this, we will not allow players to abuse this. This is mainly for the Assassin and Seeker.

Seekers "Blood Thirsty Blitz" and "Last Stand", this skills can only be used against the direct opponent, if the "Seeker" during the fight goes near the other players who are not participating on the match and uses the said skills to recover great amounts of HP in order to not die, then the "Seeker" in question will be disqualified.
Assassins "Shadow Jump" and "Shadow Teleport" are not allowed anymore if used on other players aside from the direct opponent. This is to prevent Assassins to jump outside of the opponent range to stay alive. Assassins are forbidden to use this technics also on the "Dummy" inside the room. If Assassins are caught breaking this rule they will be disqualified.

Re match:
A re-match is to happen if any of the following cases are detected (when a GM decides):

In case of a crash of the player. Note that its mentioned crash and not disconnect.

We have a way to check this crash and so i will explain it below, make sure to read this before you participate so you know, because there is a catch to this to be proven.

Crash from the Game:

Wait for the game to completely crash and shut down;
DO NOT OPEN THE GAME AGAIN;
Go to your EpicPW game folder;
go to the EPW/element/ folder and search for the folder named: logs
Add this folder to archive (make a zip file)

You will be able to send the .zip file to the online GM at the time, you can add us on Skype, our names can be found in our Forum profiles. This will be the only way to prove a disconnect, other than this we will not accept any excuses.

A re-match is to happen if any of the following cases are detected (when one OR both players agree):

Genie wasnt ready.

If the player after losing decides to claim that his/her genie wasnt ready for the fight you have to ask your opponent for the re-match, we will not accept that as an excuse since we GMs always wait for a fair fight and this includes the wait for the genie to be full.

One of the players disconnect during the fight.

If the player after losing decides to claim that he/she disconnected, it will be a decision of the opponent to accept or not to re-match. This will not be our call since we know that there is a Force Log button and players might use it if they see they will lose the match.

One of the players was unaware of a certain rule.

This will be decided by the opponent since the rules are all very well explained here there is no excuse for a GM about this to set a re-match.

Offensive Actions:

If a player does not attack within 10 seconds, the player will be disqualified. Using strategies to kite are allowed although not to be abused, this means you can kite a few seconds (10 seconds to refill your HP which is the time on Charm cooldown) but if the HP is back to full and the player is running, then the timer will start.
Another issue we would like to point out is that players are not allowed to run in the opposite way of the other player in order to disqualify him on purpose, we wanna see players fighting, using strategy is welcome but coward moves we dont really enjoy seeing such. NOTE: If the player decides to run away from the opponent in a clear maneuver to disqualify the opponent, the timer,  if there was any started, will stop and to be resumed when action also resumes.
In case players are found to stall the fights to go into duels we will step in and ask them to fight. If players do not fight after the warning and are still stalling the fight (10 minutes) to get to the duel, the player will be disqualified (DQed). Once again we do not want players to kite and run and leap non stop, we want players to fight, to try to win.

Not needed to say but to make it official, any Rule violated will result in a immediate disqualification of the player.

Disqualification in any stage of the Tournament, will result in the player not getting any reward.

Please make sure to understand this so you dont complain later.

Continuing the Rewards here since the main topic has reached the maximum length of characters.

So i decided to add another permanent title for each class (someone suggested would be a good idea), which shows more directly what they won / achieved.
So the titles will have the the tournament name + class name.
"Clash of Classes - Blademaster"
"Clash of Classes - Wizard"
"Clash of Classes - Archer"
"Clash of Classes - Cleric"
"Clash of Classes - Assassin"
"Clash of Classes - Psychic"
"Clash of Classes - Stormbringer"
"Clash of Classes - Duskblade"
"Clash of Classes - Barbarian"
"Clash of Classes - Venomancer"
"Clash of Classes - Seeker"
"Clash of Classes - Mystic"
If you guys have other titles suggestions instead of this one, please name it and i will consider it.
