Community Event - Reckoning Rumble 6v6 Tournament

Server needs scenario balance, not useless events.

Thanks for the feedback above, just building on what Hazmy said:

1. The prize structure is focused on participation awards to encourage and reward everyone for coming out. In my view the real upside of ranked is the fun of playing evenly matched games which is best accomplished with a larger team and player pool.

2. The tournament has strict sportsmanship rules and the matches occur in game - which means that players are subject to the RoR Code of Conduct. I am optimistic that this well go a long way to addressing any concerns about toxicity.

3. I considered the need to bracket players by skill level and sweatiness which is why the tournament is using a Swiss format as Hazmy described above and why I have 3 events for sweaty, casual, and RP focused players.

4. I am not aware that any dev or balance team time was spent on this event. I set it up and Hazmy helped me arrange the team support. I agree that number one priority for the server health is addressing some of the bugs/balance issues. Its my understanding that that is where their focus is.

Personally I find 6v6 to be a fun format - even when I don't win! I am hoping that this tournament provides an opportunity for people to get some games in and enjoy the format a bit.

I would also like more people to have access to the ranked insignia rewards which requires that there are opportunities to play ranked games.

This right here is why I may jump in a few solo matches. If I get back in time from work.
On a side note, if even after this event ranked does not go anywhere, devs can always add insignia to city loot bags. This will by itself increase city participation by 200%

META event on... I remember, still on live, when the developers said: Our game will never have a META... this isn't live, so it doesn't matter nowadays...

I wrote a lot, then deleted it. Good luck. Best wishes to everyone.

There is no active ranked season so zero insignias from winning matches or leaderboard placement.

Not to my personal tastes, but pleased some niche content is getting a look in. Now if there was a solo tournament, now that would rock!

The beatings bribes will continue until morale participation improves.

With absolute mauling the devs just did to Order in the balance patches, yeah no thanks.

Tournament will be just like Ranked was, but now sans Rampage and with buffed choppa on destro lol, with a special appearance by more bugged than ever WL.
