General Discussion - Gleipneir's Hardcore Duel Tournaments - Forum

Hello fellow exiles! Every saturday I will be hosting a low level duel tournament on the Hardcore server. The events will take place on Saturdays, at 2 pm Eastern. The details of the next scheduled event will be here. All participants are asked to message me within game for registration. You will pay your entrance fee (if applicable) upon registering, no refunds if you decide not to come or leave before the tournament is finished. Registered fighters will fight in a randomly selected seed format. Advancing to the next level by defeating their randomly selected opponent. I will personally watch the fight (fights will take place in 3v3 pvp, but the fights will be 1v1) to be sure of the victor. How that works: I will join the party of one of the combatants, I will in no way assist either fighter. I will kill myself via Righteous Fire and simply spectate the match. To register, contact me in game, my character is Gleip_Frog. If enough interest is garnered, the fights will be watchable via twitch tv. If you have any questions or suggestions, please post or contact me. Next Event! 8/17, Saturday 2pm Eastern Low Level Duel Tourney 1v1 1 Chaos buy in Winner takes all Last edited by Dane88#6668 on Aug 13, 2013, 6:01:22 PM	Posted by Dane88#6668 on Aug 13, 2013, 8:38:24 AM Quote this Post
a very nice idea, that I think should be built into the existing PvP system. a real tournament with brackets, and orb/item prizes for the winners and runners-up. but until that's done, you'll be able to trick a few suckers into giving you Chaos Orbs, then log-off with the pot in hand. well played finding a new type of scam. or actually perfecting an existing one: "orbs if you beat me PvP". but this time you won't do the fighting. well played.

Shouldn't it be lvl 31, for being able to use every support gem (more diversity)? IGN @Ostropalca	Posted by Evantis#3706 on Aug 13, 2013, 9:10:35 AM Banned Quote this Post
" Evantis wrote: Shouldn't it be lvl 31, for being able to use every support gem (more diversity)? Would be nicer indeed, but from pvp patch notes " Player vs. Player Arenas We've added support for PvP arenas. Initially there are both 1 vs. 1 and 3 vs. 3 matches available. You can either play Level 28 Capped PvP in Normal difficulty or Open PvP in Merciless difficulty (with resistance penalties). Level 28 Capped PvP requires that you haven't entered Cruel difficulty and are not higher than level 28. To enter PvP, talk to Greust and click "Join PvP". If you're in a party, then your whole party will be placed in a queue. If any member of your party cancels then the whole party is removed from the queue. Once there are enough players to form teams of the right sizes, you'll be transported to a random arena. 3v3 arenas are generally larger. During the match, up to nine rounds are played. The first team to win five rounds will be declared the match winner. In 1v1 matches, a round is declared a draw after 90 seconds. In 3v3 matches, the time limit is 120 seconds, but draws are only awarded if the teams have equal numbers of players alive. Because of the best-of-nine effect, every two draws will reduce the number of wins a team needs by one. Teams are coloured Red and Blue and are given a coloured aura effect. There are dead monster corpses in the arenas that can be raised as minions. Traps, mines, totems, auras, buffs and minions are destroyed between rounds. Like any other spell, casting your auras is part of the PvP fight and can't be done beforehand. Flasks are replenished by a few charges between PvP rounds. It's important to manage flasks properly - if you use them all too fast then you'll be at a big disadvantage in later rounds. Hardcore deaths in PvP arenas are currently not permanent. We'll be adding permadeath hardcore PvP options soon. Different login gateways have different PvP queues, for latency reasons. For example, if you're on the American gateway and want to play PvP with your European friends, you'll have to change over to the other gateway and join the queue there. This will of course be at a higher latency as you'll be playing on European servers. If you're dead in a 3v3 match, your view will spectate another team member.

the idea is great i loved lvl 9 pvp in dibalo2 hc but.... ppl will see it as a scam and whats worse ppl will copy your idea and actually scam with it https://poe-ssf.herokuapp.com/. Join the fun. SSF HC Legacy Witch Lvl 53	Posted by ventiman#1405 on Aug 13, 2013, 9:18:55 AM Quote this Post
sadly you're right, most will simply think it's a scam, or even worse people will start their own and scam. Nothing I can really do to prove it's not a scam besides getting a strong reputation through trying. I'd like to do bigger pots in the future, but no sense in asking until people can trust me.
