Hey Guys,

Here is an idea I've been toying with for a while and i just wanted to gauge your reaction.

All over Undermountain we have these lovely PvP arena which to my knowledge is not being used very much.

What I'm proposing is a tournament. The Winner gets a NPC named after them and bragging rights.

This will be a free for all, or one on one (bracket/knockout style) of Ironworks v's Ironworks, Mate verses Mate.

This will consist of Server vault characters only up to level 40 ( we will give people time to get their character to high levels )

Please note this is an idea only. I have not approched Z with this yet so the idea is in the early stages. What I'm looking for is comments, concerns, ideas etc.

Heres to some good fun!

Cheers

T-D-C

Bring it on :D

That's a great idea, hope I get on enough to train up and participate :D

Maybe you could do tier fights (20th level and below one fight, 21st and above for the other)
Or maybe a no magic fight, or a magic only fight, etc.?

Maybe ranged weapons only, or only melee.

Maybe even make it the IW EfU yearly tournament, and if people see the prize (NPC named after them, or whatever) it may entice more people to buy the games and join in!

Thats sounds like a great idea. lets get on!

So far some good responces.

So should we have a magic user tournament and a fighter tournament ?

For Magic users should we ban Timestop ? (cause this means ho ever gets it off first wins)

Or for fighters no dev crit ?

Is there a way to nerf these two just for the tournament so we don't have to re roll new characters ?

I think the winner should be the one that wins the everything goes match. The one match that has no restrictions other than those that the server limits.

I like the catagory matches Idea and think their should be these below also

Human Vs Human or Elf, Half Elf,Dwarf and all races that think they can last Brownies included at their own risk

1) Mage match
2) scorcerers Match
3) Thieves and Rogues Match
4) Paladin Vs Dark Paladin (Human only)
5) shifter Match (Dragon Vs Dragon :D )
6) Pale Master (summon undead O.K.)
7) Assassin Match
8) Ranged Weapons Match - Arrows, Darts, Thrown weapons, and Slings.
9) all Magic Users Match w/staff weapons and wands.
10) Monks only Match
11) FIGHTERS Match all classes NO MAGIC or ranged weapons.
12) small races match

All events above are for Lvl 15-40 fight at your own risk

The MAIN EVENT [Lvl 35-40]

Anyone and everyone can join from all walks of life. ANYTHING GOES double elimination. Last creature standing walks away with the Title of Champion of Undermountain and a plack in the Inn with Your PC's name and a double of your PC as an NPC standing in the inn loafing around if Ziroc agrees.

all matches will take place around the last week of october from friday 10/22/04 thru sat 10/30/04 winner will be anounced Sunday 10/31/04 at the Holloween party in the Inn LOL :D

Sounds great i agree with the match ideas although it might be hard to get us all on at the same time.

i am thinking that there are major uber items going around. perhaps we should restrict it up to Z's server at least?

Since Im organising this Tournament I will be restricting it to ONLY server vault characters that have been created and leveled in Undermountain.

Sounds great. I like the Battle Royale idea better because there is no way my 20th level char with barely 200 hit points could stand up to a 40th level char with over 500 hp unless I had a little (or lot) of help! Let me know when to take it down.

The downside of a melee is that you get a LOT of effects and actions, which will cause serious lag and likely time out most of the competitors.

The downside of class-specific combat is that multiclassed characters belong to several, or none of the groups. The other downside is that you don't get the rock-scissors-paper effect for comparison. The best mage can be nothing compared to a decent rogue, but we'd never know (about magic, brownies have an unfair advantage in that they're much harder to target with the mouse :D )

I'm all for one on one combat, although we may want restrictions on Bigby's, Harm, Dev. Crit, Timestop and IGMS primarily. Or put some on items. Or just allow it all. It's all fine with me, as long as you've given it some thought.

Finally, the level issue.
We can make categories to determine the best of each level group (1-10,11-20,21-30,31-40 for example) and pit those against eachother, but we're looking for the best of the best. Not the best of the worst. So just bring your level 40 [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Other categories could be by armor class, attack bonus, hit points, amount of strength, and so on.
Or we do away with categories and make it totally random. I'd like that actually, you could be facing a level 40 wizard or a level 20 fighter, be lucky or not, it's all part of the game.

How about we get a bunch of names down and make it random?

I can see Halaster doing that. Just teleporting two Adventurers down to a PvP arena and saying that only one can leave.

How about we each can only use a club +0 and just beat each other to death :D

That means No armor no Helms nothing on us but our tatoos and a Wooden club cave man style. :D

The trouble is, without weapons favours the monks. Without anything favours the mages. Without magical equipment favours the clerics. With everything, in Undermountain, is the item combinations winning, rather than the characters.
Of course, everyone can get the items, and since skillpoints are part of a character, things like traps and healing kits should be available too.
Although I'd argue for restricting the amount of healing items to be used or it might just come down to whomever has most healing potions.

I would say we have to get rid of iteams like the necklace of infinate IGMS, ring of harm etc

and put a limit of 10 healing potions to be used.

We should then have a free for all (kind of like Melee Margathee in Salvatores Books) You can team up however in the end there can be only one.

I like the "one for all and then team up, beat on someone, then turn against either other" idea T-D-C.

Are you going to let people bring their own equipment, but restrict a items?

It will be server vault only. Only items would be what currenty esxists in Undermountain. However if we can we may nerf such items as The Necklace of IGMS and ring of Harm etc.

hmmmmm being as i am still on dial-up,i expect to be at a disadvantage,with that said,i say let
everyone use all there items and all the skills there character can normally use on undermountain.for example dev.critical,timestop.whatever as long as it was gotten on undermountain.Afterall it is the best of the best.I would not want to win a fight where
the other player has one arm tied behind his back. I prefer everything goes but i will be there which ever way is decided upon.

*BUMP*

Ok we are looking at a date towards the End of November for a showdown in the Level 1 PvP areana.

Once I get some "official" dates I will see if Ziroc can put and advertisement in the Tavern.

The format we will go with is an All IN BRAWL. All spells, all items, dev crit EVERYTHING. Bring your best character and let the fun being.

Please use the Offical thread for you to post your charcter details and sign up.
