Brothers in Arms - Team PvP Event

[ADMIN]

Basic Info

• This is a normal PvP Event where your character/build/class/items will matter (you play with your character as it is).
• Different rewards for each edition, announced before registrations. Both consolation rewards & top 3 rewards.
  • Note: Rewards are progressive for consolation, the more advanced in bracket you are (games played), the more rewards you get.
• The entire event will take between 1 and 2 hours, most probably, depending on how fast the games are finished.
• People that do Register on forum before the deadline does have priority to participate at the Event.
• You don't have to be in the same guild (or have a guild at all), but you NEED to be in the same party with your team (and only)!
• Note about Brothers in Arms rewards:
  • In order to take your reward from the Brothers in Arms event, you'll have to go in crywolf and type /biareward.
    • Note: Jewels are going directly into Jewel Wallet (on website).
  • This will be possible after @Gion is setting your event rank (so 5-15 minutes after the event is over).
  • You can take the BiA rewards until Thursday night (23:00). If you don't take your reward until Thursday 23:00 you'll lose it.
• IMPORTANT!!! Any attempt to register AND/OR participate at the Event with more than 1 character per person will get you banned for 7 days on all your accounts and characters accessed. We have 0 tolerance for this!

Gameplay & Rules:

• 3v3 / 5v5 PvP fights between pre-made teams in an Arena Cage.
• Only different classes are allowed in a team.
• There are maximum of 16 teams that can participate at the Event.
  • Note: No matter the number of teams under 16, the bracket will be generated randomly.
  • Note2: If there are more than 16 teams for the event registered and checked-in, the 16 teams will be picked randomly.
• There will be a random bracket of fights between teams.
• All games are BO1 (Best out of 1) - You win the game you advance in bracket, you lose the game you are eliminated.
• Every participant will be set to level 200 (only on Inception) when the match does start.
• Every participant will be set with PK status when the match does start.
• After every death you'll be immune to damage for 4 seconds.
• The moment you start a BiA game your account will be locked until the entire event is over (no matter if you win or lose).
  • This is done in order to prevent item-sharing between participants during the event.
  • If you previously had a lock on account you must create it again after the event is over.
• There's a minimum Average Level per team (80% of TOP1 Level - rounded down) in order to register to the Event.
  • Example: If TOP1 has Level 300, the minimum average level per team is 240.
• Leaders of teams will dice before each game. The dice winner will choose what type of game will be played from:
• LMS - each char does have 6 lives, the winner team is the one left alive.
• KotH - each kill of a player from the other team grants your team 1 point, first team to reach 25 points does win.
  • Note: Grand Final is BO3 (first game is LMS, second game is KotH, 3rd game is decided by dice roll if the score is 1-1).
• Extra notes:
  • If you leave the cage at any point after a game is started, you will be teleported at the middle of the cage and you'll get stunned for 5 seconds.
  • Disconnecting / leaving Arena after a game has started means that your team lost the game, unless the opponents agree for a rematch.
  • If you leave your team party after a game has started (or you're in a different party than your team) you will be removed from the game and your team lose the game, unless the opponents agree for a rematch.
  • You won't get PKs by killing others.
  • You will respawn randomly in the cage.
  • You can't have any buffs during the event (scrolls, pumpkins, party buffs, etc.) outside of your own character buffs.
  • Antidotes / SD Pots are allowed!
  • IMPORTANT!!! The PM (Party Master) must always be the captain of the team (the one that is registered as captain and does the /dice), on every game! The team name is dictated by his own name.

Registration & Check-in

• BiA will usually be announced with few days before it actually starts.
• Anyone that wants to take part into the Event must register on the forum topic of each BiA edition by leaving the character names of their team that they want to participate with.

• In the Event day, a check-in must be made by captains of the registered teams if they want to keep their slot in the Event.

• If at 30 minutes after check-ins did started there are less than 8 / 16 teams confirmed for the Event, Late Registrations are opened.
  • Late Registrations do last between 1:30 hours before the Event does start until 30 minutes before the Event does start (1 hour).
  • During this time, any teams can register to BiA (on forum) and come for check-in to "replace" those registered players that failed to check-in.
• If there are more than 8 / 16 teams checked-in for an Event, the participants will be extracted randomly from the pool of checked-in teams.
• In order to check-in you'll have to come Lorencia circle to @Gion (as the captain of your team) and tell him that your team is checked-in.
  • NOTE!!! If you do your check-in and fail to participate in the tournament from different reasons the team will be banned for 1 day on all of their characters. Do the check-in ONLY if you know your team can attend and play the (entire) event.
