Suggestion: 3rd place matchup in tournaments
If the players exceed 16, how about a 3rd place matchup?

As long as they don't get silver for third. silver is for winners and runner-ups imo

pro
with silver of course, anything else doesn't make sense
maybe for tourneys with 19 participants and more would be more balanced

Re: Suggestion: 3rd place matchup in tournaments
Why wouldn't 3rd place get points? IMO winner and second place of all tournaments should get much more silver to begin with.
In ctf half the participants get silver, in 1v1 only 2 get it required > 10 people show up.

Re: Suggestion: 3rd place matchup in tournaments
why not give silver to everyone who participates then, just as long as the winners get "more"
and comparing ctf to a 1v1 makes no sense, they are completely different entities and there aren't ten ctfs a week, whereas there are approx. a dozen pvp tournies per week.

Re: Suggestion: 3rd place matchup in tournaments
The way the tournament is scripted you would have to allow a 3rd & 4th place award for this to work.
I don't really think it is necessary, maybe only in a 25+ man tournament. There is usually only 12-20 people in each tournament as it is now anyways.

Get people together and go duel somewhere and get practice. Sandro can be beaten all you need to do is practice and improve your pvp skillz.
I have been busy lately and couldn't do as many pvp lessons as I want to, sorry for those that PMed me.
Seriously though, message people in IRC, on forums and in-game and go have a duel-la-thon at wrong roof or maybe a "secret" spot in the woods. You don't need duel rings to duel, in 1999 we never used "duel pits".
Duel off mount so you get practice for tourneys, only use refresh potions to mimick the infinite consume food you get in trammel tourneys.. Come on, The only problem is you don't get practice for "sudden death scenarios". That's why it's important to learn how to kill Sandro and other hally spammers(Guerilla) before sudden death. Works like a charm, you need to play more like a mage, have 25 mana and rely more on timing/strategy to end a fight way before sudden death even gets near. Learning to 'save your hally hit" is key to fight like I do. But you gotta learn how to do that and time spells against people who want to spam the hally a lot, which it can be done.

I was high on cannabis and caffeine(coffee) when I wrote that but I still don't see how it's "nutcase" maerial.
Recommending people to get pvp leagues together to practice to get seems like it would strengthen pvp in all facets(trammel and felucca!)
Beating mages with 25 dex since 1998.
Re: Suggestion: 3rd place matchup in tournaments
Well don't you ever get tired of the same person winning over and over again? At least a small reward for 3rd place would motivate a few more people to participate in the events.fox_phyre wrote:As long as they don't get silver for third. silver is for winners and runner-ups imo
I've heard a few UOer's say they don't bother joining because they suspect Sandro of scripting. I don't really know if he does but maybe they are just butt hurt. I myself will be giving him a try once I get maxed out.

Re: Suggestion: 3rd place matchup in tournaments
It's not so much how it's scripted as the general logic of 3rd place. What you'd have to do is add a separate match for the players who lost to the two players in the final match. It could be done, and would be rather interesting even without a reward. There is a lot of work that could be done with most events to improve them.Sandro wrote:The way the tournament is scripted you would have to allow a 3rd & 4th place award for this to work.

Re: Suggestion: 3rd place matchup in tournaments
There's a list a mile long of things to do for the actual game, to serve the actual purpose of the server. Here's my +1 to putting this at the very bottom of the list.
