Bossing A HT tournament style event

I have this idea that i think is gonna be interesting and fun, but would require staff's hand in it. What if there's a recurring HT tournament that happens every quarterly in mapleroyals? Similar to world cup for soccer, the international for dota, etc etc. Players would join as a team of 6 to compete real-time against other teams in a bracket format tournament, whichever team finishes first gets to move on in the bracket. Before some people comment about elitism, i obviously get that this is an event that favors the veterans in the server, but it's a tournament after all, which tournament doesn't favor the strongest participants? My concept of the tournament is that teams aren't allowed to use mules, and can only join on one character and it has to be level 200. With a limited space of 6 and due to HT boss mechanics, teams have to decide if they gonna want crash, se, bs, si, are they gonna split attack or attack together, etc etc. This way, there will be more variety of line ups, keeping it competitive and the team that has momo in it doesn't necessarily mean it will win. in other words, just because a team is stacked, doesn't mean it will win.

This event would make the rich get richer. Only if the prize pool are worth something. First place winners could be rewarded with something non-profitable but of great significance like a one-of-a-kind untradeable NX that is only attainable from this event to signify they're the champions.

Another interesting prize pool idea would be to add a reward system that is currency-based similar to BCHT back then where participants would get currency just for participating, with 1st - 3rd placing getting higher yields. These currency can only be used to purchase from a pool of untradeable NX/CHAIRS from a generated NPC. Steep participation fee should be implemented to prevent trolls from participating solely for the currency. A hall of fame can be established to commemorate first place winners so that the desire to win first place is still there.

The idea behind this event not only serves to give something for players to look forward to, and put their hardwork and time spent in this server to a test by competing against others but also motivates newer players to try to work harder to improve their toons so they will have a higher chance to win when they participate. Its also a great incentive for players that have stopped playing to consider playing again. I think it might be something fresh that can reinvigorate people's interest in this server in a good way.

What do you guys think?

 

Great idea! If you don't want to use admins help I suggest creating a thread with a 'Hall of fame' section to the fastest ht runs, and ppl will video and upload their run to prove it

 

I dont think an event like this is doable without staff help, the concept i have for this event requires two staff member to host it, and as two teams would be actually running against each other real-time (two diff channels), staff is needed to oversee the entire run to prevent any form of cheating and to conclude the winner.

 

looks so fun

might

Paladin+ Dk or Hero or Shadower + Se + Bucc+ Bs + any attacker is best

Let the reward can't trade , will not let richer get richer

Also

for the team who want join , I think need pay Fee( in case troller LOL)
and good mesos sink

 

Love it & J> Bs

 

Great idea! JJBishop J> Supporter

 

Great idea!
Things like this can give veterans some purpose to play again and encourage unusual party compositions.
Please make it happen

 

If the fundings aren't equal, I expect the results to be fairly predictable... at least after a few iterations when the best party comp/execution becomes clear. Supporting this anyways.

 

I like it as long as it's infrequent enough so that the rewards aren't being received/abused by the same players over and over for mesos or to stack up all their accounts. Maybe 1 year expiring champions custom NX weapon or something like that would be cool, same as ranked rewards for League, Valorant, etc

 

I feel it’s a nice idea and it would be fun but maybe need some things to encourage normal players to join as they might think they not capable enough to win the tournament bcoz of their range and lost confidence from it. But overall is really an nice idea

 

A different bracket for players of different levels would be nice to have if implemented:
e.g. total level of 6 unique attackers
1) = 1200
2) = 1140 - 1199
2) = 1080- 1139
3) = 1020 - 1079
4) = 960 - 1019

and maybe another range for players with BS
total level of 5 unique attackers
1) = 1000
2) =950 - 999
.
.
.

Spoiler

but then again.. i'm very unsure about the amount of time they have lol

 

sounds like a cool idea

 

HT solo bracket!?
But really royals need some competition to keep the game alive.

 

Yeah

It's too predictable. I think doing Auf haven as competition is better. With left/right sed, it's less predictable and requires more skill/knowledge/communicating.
This way, its more exciting to watch!!

 

pvp when

 

Perhaps winners get a cool forum icon that gets passed each year to the winners

Think its a cool idea and would be fun

 

Horntail Slayer Medal?? (NX cover like the Maple PQ pendant? Doesn’t have to give stats)

 

well, too predictable: @Momo's wiggle gang or high tier Rogue's veterans kek
I'd like to see how the battle goes tho

 

Add a mandatory hard JQ (e.g. Ninja Castle) before the HT fight to make the results less predictable

 

I like the idea and I think it could be community-oriented tho. For example, everyone pays a entrance ticket and make the prize pool the final reward
