PETRANAKI #6 TOURNAMENT
Today we are announcing the call to arms for the Sixth bi-annual Petranaki Tournament.If you are a returning player, there has been no major changes since last tournament, for everyone else..
The Petranaki Tournament is a special week-long event that escapes the nuance of factions and guilds for a more civilized, global bloodsport. Players sign up and join different teams and earn rewards for simply going out there and dying.
During the Tournament, the only PvP-based activity available will be through the Tournament. GCW and PvP mechanisms, including Base Busting, Special Forces PvP, Player Bounty Hunting, GCW Rank Decay, Dueling, Flashpoints Guild Wars and other TEF-mechanics will be disabled.
If you sign up to participate, all characters on your account whose combat level is >= 54 will be drafted into the tournament and will be PvP flagged against the opposing teams at all times. The only exception is a two-minute timer after cloning, which will exempt both you and any enemies from attacking each other.
There will be three teams; Acklay, Nexu and Reek.
There is no Winner in the Petranaki Tournament; it is a celebration of bloodshed. It is a week in which glorious death will be awarded.
SIGN UP USING THIS FORM BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEmBER 19TH TO BE INCLUDED IN THE DRAFT, IF YOU WANT TO BE A CAPTAIN, PLEASE SIGN UP PRIOR TO NOVEMBER 25TH
If you are interested in being a team captain, please reach out to Elfi on discord and indicate it on your signup.
Captains will be announced on the afternoon/evening of the 26th.
The following mechanics will be in place for ALL players during the duration of the tournament, regardless of event participation:
- All player deaths will be celebrated in a Discord channel.
- Each time any player dies (PvP or PvE), they will receive 1 Battlefield Token.
- A Jedi that becomes ghosted will receive the max daily tokens available.
- This reward is capped to 25 tokens every day for tournament participants
- Anyone dying outside of the tournament can also donate their blood for up to 5 tokens per day.
These additional rewards will be given for tournament participation:
- A wearable pin with your team emblem.
- A new badge will be awarded on each character that reaches 25 deaths.
- For Jedi, they may also receive the badge for being ghosted 3 times.
In addition, all event participants with characters that actively participate will receive rewards if the requisite number of deaths is reached across all players in the event, regardless of their team:
- 30,000 deaths - Double Tokens for 30 heroics AND 30 Battlefields
Once the threshold is reached, all of the team emblem pins will gain "charges" which will be consumed whenever you complete a heroic or battlefield on the character wearing the pin, granting you bonus tokens. The above numbers represent total charges, they are not cumulative.
On November 27th teams will be announced, this time we are doing it differently. There will be a 20 person draft conducted before tournament start, in negotiations with the Captains, which will be posted on discord. All entries until November 26th will be included with the draft, all entries after that will be considered late signups and will be assigned randomly by staff.
The Tournament will begin in the following hours (upto the next day) after the draft is concluded and last until 23:59 GMT on December 5th.
Characters that are below CL54 will not be automatically flagged for PvP even if the player signed up for the event.
- Player bounty missions will not be able to be accepted or completed (NPC bounties will function as expected).
- If you sign up for the tournament and do not participate, you will not receive any rewards
- Captains are welcome to create their own Discord servers..
- Late sign-ups (post-draft), if accepted, will be assigned to a team by staff.
- Excessive kill trading will make you ineligible for rewards.
- Reporting characters "as a spy" has been turned off.
- If you leave the tournament you will not receive any rewards.
- Please do not DM any staff other than Elfi for questions about the tournament, you will be asked to contact them anyway.
POST PETRANAKI:
There will be a GCW reset.
Everybody will reset down to 99.9% Sgt. Major.
In addition; Prestige will be reset, and will be reset regularly after the conclusion of all Petranaki tournaments, there are a few exceptions this time however..
Space PvP and Space Piracy are being reworked in the coming months, so that won't reset until that time.
Outdoors prestige just launched and won't be reset until after next Petranaki.
Goodluck everyone!
