PvP Tournaments
In this update we`re introducing PvP Tournaments! The first global testing for Tournaments begins today.
At level 12 you can participate in ranked PvP Tournaments. Fight for the best rank, win valuable prizes and respect! Champions of seasonal tournaments get unique items, medals, and other useful rewards; they even hold a place in a list of the best players of all time!
Tournaments are seasonal, each of them lasting 12 weeks. Player rating is updated every week; you can check on it in your Dashboard (F1). Winners of a seasonal tournament are defined at the end of the last week of the current season.
The duel mode with 3 mercs is now available. For each victory you will receive Tournament Tags (TT), which can be exchanged for various items, including platinum. For every week the quantity of received TTs is limited by your current rating. So by increasing your rating, you will be able to receive more TTs.
To keep up your participation in a rating you need to win at least 5 tournament fights a week. You can see your current status of participation on the panel of each mode (duel only). If your status isn't confirmed by the end of the week, you will lose 10% of your rating in this mode.
Players join the battle relating to their Tournament rating instead of their levels. Health points are not compensated. The similar command mode will be added in the future.
· Player rating and clan rating based on BP (battle points) renamed to PvP activity rating.
