1v1 Competition possibility

[Toshutkidup]

I'm throwing out an Idea of a 1v1 tournament. Want to see ho much interest is really out there for it.

My basic idea is would start with brackets of archetype. So Rdps v Rdps , mdps v mpds, and hybrid v hybrid. After that then do best of 3 mixing the archetypes. No respecs allowed, so bring what you have however tactic changes allowed if you own them already. Pots allowed.

When the brackets got down to mix archetypes range would be set to 50ft to try to reduce benefit of one side vs other.
Pet classes like Engi/Magus couldnt have pets spawned prior to round starting to avoid building up dmg ahead of time.

Final fight would be best of 5.

I'm just throwing out the idea, and things could be altered.

Idea's cool, but never understood why people oppose respeccing: spec you use to fight mdps will be completely different to that which you'd use vs rdps, for example.

At least for the hybrid part of the competition, people should be allowed to respec. My 2c.

I understand argument of allowing respecs. However my thinking is try to emulate how a fight would really be in ORVR in a setup environment. I think its too easy for some classes to spec to beat another class that wouldn't necessarily work vs someone else.

I am open to suggestions, but I do think this is something that most would agree to. Example Slayers couldnt spec out of rampage to fight a healer / caster , then respec back into it to fight a mdps. if you have it you have it vs all enemies. if you dont then you dont.

meh, to each their own, but i'd feel a bit 'dirty' about fighting a slayer, who was spec'd to fight agaisnt melee, as a magus: chances are he'd have pretty low dodge disrupt, no quick escape - whatever it is.

Won't really affect high rr players, but may deter lower rr from participating in. Either way, it's a great idea.

I understand your point, however thats why tactic swaps if owned would be allowed. But im more interested in the winner to be best who won vs all circumstances he/she was faced against. not what he/she specced to kill each time. I really think if respecs were allowed every fight.. it would just show spec imbalance certain builds are against certain classes.

Again Im just starting to think this idea and open to ideas.

I appreciate your feedback

idea is good would be there .. just a pity that the implementation not possible here
At lifetime, any 3 programs were prohibited which is not the case here ..
That's why the duel event was also monitored by GM's and admins.
was a nice idea of you ..

[gebajger]

I agree with the dwarf on this one, sorry Peter.
Speccing to beat one particular class always ends up in things you would never ever use 'RL' .
By RL (here) i mean sc, orvr, solo, group, wb, premade, PuG...pretty much anything other than this situation.

Idea is fine, but people would cheese it too much.

Deftard parry monsto maras, parry slayers, and don't even get me started on regen duel tanks builds lel.

Only instance why it worked was live and spontaneous events, thus ppl didn't had time to set their selves with cheese.

Good idea. I would gladly participate.

The idea is very nice, and I understand/partially agree with no respec allowed, in my opinion, the tournament can end in 2 ways; first, the tournament simply never ends because we'll wait forever the end of a Regen Tank vs a Regen Tank, second option, a Regen Tank win the tournament, unless someone specifically specced for that and somehow reach the end of the tournament.

That's why I said that I "partially" agree with no respec allowed, I see nothing wrong to let ppl use their class full potential in a 1v1, most of ppl are aoe specced for RVR, so they will not use their "normal" build anyway, also not allowing ppl to respec make the bracket a little "luck based" hoping to never fight the random guy with the spec that destroys yours.

So in my opinion respec should be allowed to let everyone enjoy classes full potential plus some very unused spec will have the chance to shine.
