TDM Tournament? by Fouled January 24, 2016 at 5:01 PM UTC

Hello,

So lately, we've been leaning towards having a TDM tournament more, considering we've never had one. But for this to work successfully, we need quality maps that are perfect for the tournament. Obviously, we can't do it alone. We need you guys, the community to help make the maps too. These maps can include scoreboxes as well, since they will be re-added as a YML component soon! However, if TDM doesn't look very good after map testing, we will not have a TDM tournament (nothings confirmed yet). This is not an official announcement; this is so we can test maps for the desired gamemode.

Some map features to consider?
Spawners (gapple & arrow)
Scoreboxes
Suitable size
Plenty of cover

Regards

Sounds good, different than the objective tourneys/seasons we've been having.

Do you think having a Walls or CTH tournament would be difficult to do?

CTH isn't suitable for a tournament, and noone plays walls so it would be a unsuccessful tournament.

A CTF tournament would be nice in my opinion.

Nobody plays Walls? I realize hardly any regulars play on it, but that doesn't mean no one plays it. It's our second most popular gamemode. I don't see why we couldn't just use the teams we already have, even if they specialize in Nebula, they could still participate in it.

Please no, Avicus' 1.8 pvp is aids and the TDM maps available damn... 
There is only 1 playable TDM map at the moment.

What do you think the point of this thread is?
For TDM maps

Fair enough, i just don't like the idea of an AV TDM tourney just my opinion.

well in the end it's the regulars that are playing in the tourney :x

TDM OR CTH TOURNAMENT!!!!

resepignev January 24, 2016 at 7:01 PM UTC

How many rounds or how many maps?

BoldAndBrash January 24, 2016 at 7:01 PM UTC

Yeah, I guess so.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thomas_Shoes January 24, 2016 at 7:01 PM UTC

dtm

TurkishDelite January 24, 2016 at 7:01 PM UTC

Yeah, I guess so.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
CTH Wouldn't really work out as for everyone would use an ended pearl kit to get to mid on the last second unless you have it as one plain kit or koth  stylish

idk a lot about walls but are you saying 4 teams in one game tournament?

Legoche January 24, 2016 at 7:01 PM UTC

Please no, Avicus TDM is so stale and the gameplay is sooooo trash

BoldAndBrash January 24, 2016 at 7:01 PM UTC

...Which is why this read was made, to get people to make some good maps. :)

ImNotYourTiger January 24, 2016 at 7:01 PM UTC

I'm down for this. Great idea

Yeah, CTH definitely wouldn't work, thanks for explaining. :)

As for Walls, I don't think that would work either now that I think about it, haha.

Could be good if implemented properly. We don't lose anything by trying.

I'm with you.

xDutch January 24, 2016 at 8:01 PM UTC

I'd more like to see an avicus ctw tournament

We've already had that - Race to Victory.

tomqss January 24, 2016 at 9:01 PM UTC

I would rather make T3 a mix (TDM, CTW and DTM) and if the TDM maps played there have good gameplay make T4 TDM with that maps and some more.

Bloodoh January 24, 2016 at 9:01 PM UTC

Scoreboxes, spawners,

and gamemode 3 (spect) for streamers!

Spoookeh January 24, 2016 at 9:01 PM UTC

Time to make some maps!

DaFrozenBlaze January 24, 2016 at 10:01 PM UTC

There's score boxes in the YML?

Fouled January 25, 2016 at 12:01 AM UTC

"These maps can include scoreboxes as well, since they will be re-added as a YML component soon!"

Currently, you cannot add scoreboxes because there is no YML component to support it. But in the near future (before the next tournament), there will be.

rinn January 25, 2016 at 12:01 AM UTC

Agreed. It's better to try something new than to keep doing the same thing and eventually becoming bored with it.

Stimulating January 25, 2016 at 12:01 AM UTC

If there are good maps, sure. Tbh the server's pvp at this point is pretty broken and I don't think it'd be great, but we'll just have to see.

It's broken though not as much as people say tbh. KB has gradually improved and people don't get knocked off 10 blocks away like they used to 3 months ago. Same goes for hit-detection, still broken like no other yet still playable.

Tazz March 27, 2016 at 11:03 AM UTC

We are still looking for TDM maps.

DaFrozenBlaze March 27, 2016 at 11:03 AM UTC

I know 1 or 2 in the making as of now.

Legoche March 27, 2016 at 11:03 AM UTC

TDM is too stale to have alone as a tournament, is there any way Avicus could add CTP or something

Crimson_Aught March 27, 2016 at 11:03 AM UTC

As said earlier, more tournaments :D

ImRaging March 27, 2016 at 11:03 AM UTC

A koth could be interesting...

ElementalAssasin March 27, 2016 at 12:03 PM UTC

OMG YES!!!! CLIJ WE ARE MAKING TDM MAPS BOIISSSS

Stimulating March 27, 2016 at 7:03 PM UTC

If there are better maps, yeah. Current TDM on Avicus feels a bit stale to me

Completely agree

Want to test Campus TE? ,Im also making another one with PokerFace and some friends.

DaFrozenBlaze March 28, 2016 at 1:03 PM UTC

yeyye KOTH is cool
But when you realise scoreboxes were only recently added.

imryaan March 28, 2016 at 3:03 PM UTC

TDM is just so stale CTH would be fun but everyone would just use the enderman kit and ez win
