PvP Tourney - Once a week.

TBH i think it should only be once a week or 2 max. Like Thursday night fights and Super sunday. Having it over and over daily just makes it rather pointless. Also it makes the pvpers log on, play events then log off = no pvp in the real uo world.

word, make two tourneys a week and a prize for Order/Chaos fights to help boost/promote field fighting..
ie. a 1 pt trophy at end of week for most kills in o/c or something.. i know kills can be counted, just a suggestion,- all we have are reds and blues atm oranges are rare but growing..

Do you honestly think this will make the ones who just log on for tournaments, log in during the week?
Right now the order/chaos has been picking up and that’s because the shard has been growing in the last few months and finally people have started getting their characters finished. As you know resist takes a long time and it sucks PvPing with an unfinished character.
If anything these daily events are for the better imo. Every event lets people practice teamwork, their skills, etc. Then they can take the experience and skills they learned from these events and put them to use on the field.

im with ironfistmax, i'm almost done with my char and taking away events would really suck if i could only compete in tourneys twice a week..
the other events are fine and fun too, they help all aspects of pvp i think (except for survival obv)

We ran one yesterday afternoon. It's been all Tourneys scheduled in the evenings but tonight it's a CTF and set back to 9:45pm rather than 9pm (eastern time)

I agree with this Idea and I was going to make a similar post.
I think having tourney's less often would do a few things;
1) Make the events feel more meaningful. I would suggest double elimation for the 1v1 tourney if it is say every weds.
2) Build suspense for the events... the time count down would be exciting.
3) It would remove the trammel effect of tourney's. People loggin in to pvp 3 hour primetime knowing they wont need to worry about stocking regs / pots/ weapons. They then log out of PVP toon and get on something else for the rest of the night.
4) Order chaos fights would hopefuly increase because it would be the only pvp option and people that have order / chaos characters wouldnt be at tourny casting magic arrow on each other.
5) the economy would increase because players would die and need to buy armor / weapons/ potions / bandages and this would increase sales in towns and in vendor houses. this increase sales opportunity would give people an income incentive to make their own vendor shop and sell items to the order / chaos guys who need constant pots/ weapons/ and armor!
I think people might feel like some of the fun would be removed but once you do some order/ chaos you would eventually see its alot of fun. Plus don't overlook the suspense factor... events are more fun if people are really trying!
The lack of order chaos online makes it so when you see one you have to go crazy trying to fight even if your out of regs/pots/bandages because the chance encounter is so rare. I had to recall from a fight one time because I had 3 mandrake root and i was considering trying to kill the target with flamestrikes because I might not see them again for a few days
Thanks,

There's ups and downs either way. If you make 1v1s or events, scheduled to certain days a week -- then people will just log on ONLY on those days, if they're the kinda person who just wants to do the event(like the people who log on everynight just to play the tournaments).
In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with having events every night. Maybe switching it up would be a better solution. Instead of having it set at 9:30-10:30ish every night, maybe every other day have it start at 5pm or something like that -- or completely randomized. That way people won't just pop in for the tournaments and get right back off.. The only problem with that is - people like me who get outta work later and look forward to the scheduled 10pm events kinda get shafted.
Either way, I don't care. Don't limit events to certain days though - they're the only thing that keeps me sane from boredom

Or you could just take the damn event clocks away and not announce the very second the event is starting.

i cant speak for everyone, but if events were only on certain days at certain times theres probably a 99% chance i would miss all of them. its nice having them often, gives the people a chance who cant get on at certain times a chance to play. as of now i can get in an event late evenings like the 9 pm est maybe once every two weeks. but having the events at different times during the day and having them often gives me a chance to play.
if you want a tournament to really have big meaning then set one up yourself with entry costs and have big prizes. leave these automated events for us people who dont take them seriously and just want to play.
