What I have experienced and thought about while doing some tournaments. In my own opinion it looks good but if anyone disagrees I am open to debate or explain more. Diego's Decisions are not fair or they may seem not fair at some points and times. You do damage you keep him on defensive he has less health and he wins. Why is it hard for Diego to judge the outcome of battle. One of the reasons is that there are no draws in the tournament (not pvp) You should be able to score draw in the tournament. What is my little solution to the point. Have a point system in the tournaments based o which Diego determines the winner. Now about Point System. Something like this: Player "A" and Player "B". Player A= Damage Done + Health Replenished+ Damage Resisted (Using shields/weaknesses/Auras) (Not based of resistance stat-so that it can be fair to both sides) Player B= Same thing as player A. (Kill should award 500-1000 points) So for example: Player A dealt 4000 damage + 1000 Healed + 300 Resisted = Points Scored 5300. Player B dealt 3000 damage + 2,500 Healed + 500 Resisted = Points Scored 6000 So Player A 5300<Player B 6000. Therefore Player B won. If scored same amount of points that would equal to draw (This can only work if Wizard101 were to implement draw system to tournaments) ----------- Now Wizard101 never gave us explanation under what and based off what Diego judges the matches. Therefore people are confused on how to play in order to win It can work both ways though. 1) Wizard101 did tell us and it was something that would make no sense to us. Something like well it is based off your survival. How effective you are and how you paying attention to health and something like that. (Invincibility) That would cause people to spam things like shields and healing and weaknesses and all that. 2) if it did give us explanation maybe there would be less rage on who won and who lost. but even that won't fix problem. Also that includes the fact the a person would know what he has to do in order to win the match (Which is a good thing)
I like that you're thinking of alternatives. What you propose has some strengths over Diego's current method, although assigning point values changes the incentive. The Death Jade juju spammers would absolutely wreck tournaments using this points system. They could do tons of damage to you, while you can't really do anything to them. Something to think about while this idea develops...
You also raise valid points about how KI should be a bit more transparent about things where we have a stake in the outcome. If you've paid to be in a tournament, and you lose because of a Diego ruling, it seems perfectly reasonable to get an explanation of why Diego didn't rule in your favor.
Thank you for your reply! You made a good point there. Maybe made a new rules tournament mode. Like they have no tc, no pets, no amulets. They could make no jade, no weaknesses, no shields? Or something on that part. Also they have mode called lol don't know how it's caled but here +10 pierce and +10 damage each round. That can counter it. Tell me what you think about it.
