Posted by Volin,

Hello Skyfolks!   Even though not everyone plays it, 4 player rPvE lvl 9 battlegrounds is probably the most popular game mode in general. About time for a competition! The latest big balance patch, which has been around for a while now, made me realize I've never seen a rPvE match with 4 different colors. I'm curious to see your replays! Since I can't participate in my own contest, of course, I'd be happy to spend some time with you, if you'd like. Let's see how I can help! R

Hello Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings.

Welcome to the first official rPvE event!
We hope you will have a lot of fun with this event!
logo_for_events (1).png

What kind of event will it be?

rPvE/Battlegrounds 4player - Map of the Month - Difficulty 9

Join us in an invasion against the bandit camps that endangers the human realm.
Be fast, be quick and do not forget the gold!
We are weakened and limited, gather together fellow skylords!
The old Amii structure can not help us in this conquest.

In order to defeat our enemies quickly, Volin will be happy to provide you with strategic advice.

When will it start?

We will be accepting entries starting 11.10.2021 00:00 CET.

The event will run for approximately 2 weeks, so you have time until the beginning of the last week of October.
To be specific: 25.10.2021 23:59 CET.
You can send your replays through DM to Volin on Discord (Volin#8101) or through a PM to him on the forum.

Stream, when?

We will stream the Event conclusion on Saturday, the 6th of November Sunday, the 7th of November 13:00 CET on the official Skylords channel via Twitch.

How can I participate?

You just have to send in your fastest replay, including the player names. [Note: Your entry has to be a victory]
For example: "Hiko, Majora, Volin, Toggy"

Please note: You are allowed to send in different replays, but only the fastest one will count. This means that if you compete with multiple teams, the one that reached the best time will also be your personal best time.

You can find your replays here: Documents=>Battleforge=>replays

What are the rules?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  1. The team with the fastest time wins.
  2. Only mono color decks (colorless cards are allowed).
  3. Every team member has to play with a different color.
  4. Collect all gold chests.
  5. No Amii monument.
  6. Only Map of the Month.
  7. Have fun!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following prize pool will be adjusted according to the amount of participants.
The prices are per person. If you compete with multiple teams, only your highest place will be rewarded:

Hello Skyfolks!

 

Even though not everyone plays it, 4 player rPvE lvl 9 battlegrounds is probably the most popular game mode in general. About time for a competition! The latest big balance patch, which has been around for a while now, made me realize I've never seen a rPvE match with 4 different colors. I'm curious to see your replays!

Since I can't participate in my own contest, of course, I'd be happy to spend some time with you, if you'd like. Let's see how I can help!

Replay analysis - strategic tips

Anyone who has played their first rPvE lvl10, or speedrun with me knows I am a patient teacher and will gladly share ALL my knowledge if you just ask for it.

And even if competitions are aimed at players above the average, we also know that there are (hopefully) many very good players who want to participate, but whose experience in speedrun is much smaller.

That's why I'm happy to offer my strategic support to any team that wants it. Deckbuilding, routes, interaction, little tricks - I'll be happy to take a look at your replays over the next few weeks and try to support you from the outside as much as possible.

My only condition: provide me with a replay and ask specific questions about it. If I see something obvious outside of the questions, I will of course mention it.

I just want to make sure that you make the same effort as I do and not have a lot of theoretical discussions in advance.

 

Team finding

Although I would not recommend you to take this service, I would like to offer it: If you are looking for a "fixed" group for this contest, but can't find any players ingame or on Discord, feel free to contact me - if there are enough players, I can help you to group up. If necessary, you can also register here as a group of 2 or 3 and I will help you find the last members.

However, I strongly recommend you to actively form your groups yourself via Discord or ingame, otherwise you will lose valuable time and players will hang in the queue until I have 4 requests together.

 

General tips

  • There are free voice chats in the official Skylords Reborn Discord - use them! I promise you, the top teams will be those, who had fast and good communication.
  • Act as team. Ask yourselves constantly: What can I do for my companions? How could my team support me in my task? Teamwork and strategy are worth more than any good individual performance.
  • Stick to the meta (as far as possible). Voidreturn is usually essential in Speedruns. This should (presumably) be your first priority, to which you subordinate EVERYTHING else.
  • Do not hesitate to restart! Once the basic framework of a strategy is in place and a first time has been reached, it is often not worth finishing games where a lot has already gone wrong. Talk to each other and just restart the round! And please keep in mind that there are harder tasks and easier ones. It is not uncommon for the same player to ask for a restart over and over again. This may not be because your teammate is bad, but often because their task is difficult.
  • Speedruns are often at the limit, otherwise they wouldn't be a speedrun, so things just go wrong sometimes.
  • Think outside of the box!

 

I wish all participants a lot of fun! And if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hello Skyfolks,

again me with an update.

We have been struggling with the question of whether to publish an interim score and how to publish it - as in every of this events. Many people give me the feedback, that I can feel, that they would like to know where are they standing.
Others of course want to polish their times first, or need to find the time to do so in a 4 player group, we understand this too.

We are also aware that such a ranking can be motivating as well as demotivating - we hope it can push you again - so here we are:

There are already 12 submissions and a lot of people have still announced to send one. Here are the, anonymous, times of the top 3 as well as the currently 8th place.

1st   10:57 min

2nd  10:57 min

3rd   12:04 min

...

8th  14:06 min

Yes, this is no copy and paste error, we have two submissions within the same second!


To further increase your motivation to participate, we have decided that the prize pool will be expanded if we get beyond the 16 entries! Then there will be a booster per person for the places from the 9th to the teams that are in the top 50%.
If we even crack the 30, we can possibly talk about even more boosters, so send me your replays!

Hey all!

The contest is over and the participation was overwhelming - I thank you all for that. Love you folks

All in all I got 33 replays, of which 24 where valid (3 double/6 invalid because of not opened chests).

70 unique Players participated, that where more then in any other official contest so far (no guarantee on that).

The Players with the most runs where:

Paxvobiscum with 5 entries

Damo with 4 entries
and Subnnobs, Malolo, Taylor, AntonWsh and Janjua each with 3 entries

I thank you very much for your replays. We will look out for the hot scenes and present you the highlight in the Stream on the 07.11.2021. Of course we will present you a full ranking then and hope for your patience until then! Keep the :hypetrain: up!
