I would be interested in this IF the availble mechs werent so fuzzy bunnyen one sided....
I mean basically, no vulcan gren no heat gren, no zerker, oh but you can use a heat scout scout....
BS and stick it up your self serving ring... JS
seriously though, wtg at making the tourney only serve yourself and the other scout bagging mofos....
I WAS excited... until i saw the rest of the rules... ruined...
well that and im betting i will be the only oceania play so i will be forced to play on some NA server with a high ping and i cant even use the mechs that give me a chance....

Tell you what.
If anyone short of Merl, IAreDave, hestoned or hell, anyone else 2500+ beats me in 1v1 Heat Scout, I'll concede this can be applied beyond that tier.
I am sub-2500, and I have little experience with a heat scout.
Let's do it. (I don't expect this to go well for me)

Merl, you forgot to ban Pred.
Srsly.
1v1 vs Pred and no radar is stupid.
I have made my decision.

Ridding the world of evil, one Berzerker at a time.
You wrote the rules in a way that is difficult to understand.
There will be multiple FFA DMs.
The top 10 scores from these DMs will play another FFA DM. The people who didn't make the top 10 are eliminated right?
The top 8 scores will be seeded into 1v1 brackets right?
Is radar on for the FFA?
Also is the 1v1 bracket double elimination, swiss, round robin?
The deathmatch maps will be randomly selected from all available maps.
Why make it a random map? Also this includes last eco winter and test arena.
The 1v1 map will be the test arena but if the players agree any symmetrical portion of any map may be used.
What does this mean? Just make it test arena.
Edited by LEmental, 11 March 2016 - 10:38 PM.
Radar will be off for the DMs. The bracket is single elim. Winter Eco and test arena are not in the dm rotation. Some people prefer to not play test arena. I respect that. As long as it's fair for the two competitors I'm ok with it. Any more questions feel free.You wrote the rules in a way that is difficult to understand.

The DPS on heat scout or infil is nowhere near where it needs to be in order to compete with competent aggressive players playing mechs with higher health pools.
While no one is going to argue that you need to realize that no map in the game has a map design similar to Test Arena; where you can just get the biggest and fattest body and camp the top pillars, soaking up all that OP height advantage and just obliterating any A class. My comment was more in reference to the game as a whole, where a competent heat player can and will abuse it's splash damage through kiting/whatever cheesy tactic he can come up with in the heat of the moment and thus why I strongly believe a heat scout/infil is hands down the best dueling mech in the game.
tl;dr test arena sucks ass

So why not go with Front Line AA as the default? It's got more tactical variety and is just more fun. Test Arena's merry-go-round makes me nauseous.
Test arena is built for it and it's easy. Simple as that. Also, there are ways to combat someone who has taken the high ground. Much of the 1v1 metagame has to do with the specific mech matchup so it is very difficult to talk about it as a whole, but what I will say is that the test arena caters to many play styles outside of just straight high ground taking.So why not go with Front Line AA as the default?

Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

Why mech game make when you no mech game have you don't want to make?
The following items and internals will be banned for the entirety of the tournament. Extractor, Repair Kit, Advanced Repair Kit, Basic Extractor, Composite Armor, Advanced Reconstructor, and Repair Charge. Everything else is welcomed and encouraged. Get creative with those builds!
Questions coming up as I prepare some mechs specifically for this tournament.
- Advanced Reconstructor is banned, but the Basic Reconstructor isn't?
- Radar Scanner isn't banned? Wuuuuuuuut

question 1. Yes. Question 2. Scanner isn't banned because there will be no radar.

Oh yeah. Duh. ![]()
One more question: switching mechs after death allowed?
Edited by -Tj-, 12 March 2016 - 07:12 PM.

Thanks to Badtings for this awesome banner!
The 1v1s will be first to 10 with a point being scored every time you kill your opponent. When your opponent scores a point you may switch mechs. Items / abilities are allowed to be refreshed at the end of each fight.
Can we please not do this first to 10 thing? Can we please do best of? Like, maybe 7? So people getting their fuzzy bunnyng asses handed to them can go home sooner, with less pain?
First to 10 is unnecessarily long, proves nothing and is detrimental to the morale of grossly outskilled players.
If the players wish to agree on a smaller number they may. 10 will remain the baseline.Can we please not do this first to 10 thing? Can we please do best of? Like, maybe 7? So people getting their fuzzy bunnyng asses handed to them can go home sooner, with less pain?

Working on it.Can we at least have an in-game tile from Tiggs? Four players from EU is a joke.

ill be at a melee tournament that weekend so jeff can enjoy his free win. also you should ban pred too if the radar is going to be off. like lol seriously dude. and i agree with dermax, AA on front line is sooo much better than trash arena. or just play on bunker and use the whole map.
AA on front line is sooo much better
Frontline AA is Best AA. Unlike Wreckage AA.

I'm the very definition of a pubstar fuzzy bunny, but it was nice lending a warm body to the warmups.
Scheduling prevents me from registering for the tourney proper, but I'm more than willing to be a moving target for people to practice on until then.

1. BK is going to give Jeff a run for his money. 2. There are plenty of mechs that are better than pred. 3. The test arena is default for convenience. If the participants agree they are more than welcome to use the frontline AA or Bunker Map.

if there were only a way to use the smaller version of facility used for COBD and offline TDM...
I like going against the best of any game I play. Helps you in the long run n motivates u to do more. Always room for improvement not failure
