XBlaster: Tournaments – Reloaded

[\-Sephiroth-/]

New tournament modes = More variety = More fun!


Greetings Mech Pilots,

Brace yourselves for exciting new tournament features.

We took a close look at your ideas and suggestions on how to improve/modify the tournaments and came up with this exciting new tournament concept!

Here’s the low-down:
Wednesday and Sunday tournaments will now be randomly and automatically selected and activated by our systems!

- 3 free tries
- 6-hour max. duration
- Unlimited tries – you choose how many extra you want to pay for!


There are now a total of 8 tournament types instead of 4!

We’ve also modified the Jackpot tournament, making it fairer, less predictable and more exciting.

The Jackpot tournament remains a point-based tournament, but we’ve integrated the following features:

- Barrels and extra items
Yellow and red barrels as well as black mines will randomly appear during the tournament. These will give you different amounts of points as you destroy them. You can also collect points by picking up extra items!
Yellow barrels = 1 point
Red barrels = 2 points
Black mines = 4 points
Small towers = (points awarded according to damage caused)
Large towers = (points awarded according to damage caused)
- Enemy mechs
To keep things fair, only 2 mechs will be allowed per arena. (This measure should make it impossible to fix the match.)
- Tournament time
2:00pm–8:00pm CET
- Time limit
None
- Unlimited tries
All tries are free in the Jackpot tournament and the best try wins!

We hope you enjoy the changes. Good luck and good shooting!

Your XBlaster Team
