Good day Uthgard!

I'm proud to announce that you all can be prepared again, that we might call you monthly to jousts again! it will work like it always did, and for all players who will practice in it for their first time can read through this:

What are the level ranges and Types?

Bronze Joust - lvl 30 to 35
Silver Joust - lvl 40 to 45
Golden Joust - lvl 50


What do we have to do to participate?

20 players will be chosen to participate in the event after a GM announced
it by a broadcast. The participants are chosen in order of incoming /callgms
while the /callgm must contain the following informations:

/callgm (Joust) (name of the participating char) (level of the participating char)
example: /callgm Joust Haldan 36

After a short time the list of participants will be broadcasted and are going to
be teleported to the eventzone. The following rules apply while the event is
prepared:

1) Even though you should not be able to attack eacht other we advise you to
not even try to attack each other.
2) Make it easy for the GM. He has to coordinate up to 20 players and running around
doesn't make it easier and will obviously delay the start of the event.

Feel free to talk to Wiseman Freki. He will explain you the rules in short detail.


How does this event work?

The GM will assign you to opposing groups. "Team White" and "Team Blue".
After you have been assigned please take position at one of your teams marking
stones. You and your team may chose and switch between the marking stones
in order to face proper opponents. When everyone is in position the GM will
assign your teams to opposing realms and broadcast the start of the Joust!
The following rules apply while the teams are fighting each other ...


Rules of the Joust:

1) You may not group with anyone!
2) You may not buff other players than yourself!
3) You may not use realmabilities, charges or potions!
4) When you die DO NOT release. The GM will revive you. After being revived
please move to the starting position (Wiseman Freki) and do not interfere in
the ongoing fight!
5) If you need to immediately leave due to RL issues contact the GM. He will
assign you to your natural realm and teleport you back to your starting town.


The way of the Joust:

When the start of the Joust was broadcasted the Joust begins. It will work as
follows ...

The opposing players at position 1 (all teams marking stones are numbered)
start to fight each other. No other player is allowed to interfere this duel!
The survivor of this duel may instantly be attacked by the opposing teams
position 2 player. This goes on until we have got a winning team. To give
you a better example watch the below added picture.




What are the rewards?

Rewards depend on the type of Joust. The rare Golden Jousts will offer the
most precious rewards such as unique weapons, respecs or even a reskin
while the Silver Joust rewards the winners with xp boosts, level equipment
or gold.
The loosing team receives a gold-reward.

Note that respecs and reskins are high-lvl rewards for the golden joust.

Your Uthgard-Team

Will this event announcement be a surprise announcement for thoughs online atm? Also will there be any events of this kind during your late night/morning for north america primetime?

Nice.

The calls will come via broadcast from me, at any time. but during the year each event should have taken place in every timezone.

didnt get how it works, so could be fun though ^^ edi

It's a team event for 10 people, first 10 that /callgm. It's not like you have to win a duel and then get a reward straight away.

If you read the event description you would know this is not how it works

I must say wizards should be invited more to group

Was impressive Griselda

Had many nice fights this time. And yes, Griselda did a really good job, aswell as all the others did, was a hard fight untill the end.

Nice event BUT two things i wanna point out

- Realmbalance : Yes the first 20 /callgm get invited but imo try to make it even... so 6 or 7 of each realm can take part.
- Classbalance: Some classes are just useless, others are almost unbeatable if they start to kite. Would be cool to find a better balance.

Stupid comment.

Your way to play is not the only one.
There is a solocommunity, there is a 8vs8 community, there is a zergcommunity and there are ignorant idiots like you.

Maybe you noticed that the worst class on Uthgard performed the best (Wizard).

Gratz to all winners, thanks for bringing Joust back =)

well there is a huge difference in playing a wiz solo against other classes or in group, since every enemy group is running ATLEAST yellow heat/cold resists, so the dmg will suck. Also if there would have been RA's allowed i wouldnt have killed anything This joust is not normal conditions ..and i could have done better than i did Still i like this type of event and am happy about my first reskin on uthgard after so much time (even though its only an epic reskin)

thanks for hosting eleras and trishin and keep it going

nice event
