Hey folks, it's been a while since I've updated anything. Season 1 is still in progress, there are some changes coming.
What I would like to tackle is the grindy nature of the format. 2 Nontap and 2 Tap duels initially didn't seem like a lot, but after reflecting and seeing how things played out, it kind of becomes a grind fest. It can kind of get demoralizing to see how many duels you have to do to "rank up". I'll announce some changes below to hopefully address the issues that I've seen throughout the season as well as some new spice.
Just some coles notes for what to expect in the upcoming future.
Season 1:
- Season end date. May 3rd 2023.
- Top 5 Overall get invited to a Season 2 Finale Invitational (Good prizes), more info below.
Changes for Season 2:
- Must have CBF in your gear. The reason for this change is to make the limited swaps based upon making adjustments for AR/DEF/DMG/LIFE, etc. The mind games of cold damage isn't fun or ideal.
- 2 month season duration. This may be longer depending.
- The ladder will be moving away from 2 Tap and 2 Nontap duels to the following format:
1 Nontap (ZPK Style)
1 Tap
1 No FPS (No fortitude/phoenix/shaft)
Season 2 Invitational
Top 5 from Season 1 are invited. Top 5 from Season 2 are also invited. If you're already qualified, your invite moves down to the next person in line.
Season 2 Tournament winners will also be qualified for an invite. If qualified already, invite moves down to the next person in line.
Tournament format to be determined, potentially looking at POOL play where everyone duels everyone and will be record based.
Feel free to PM any suggestions. I'm all ears to make things better. I can be a stubborn bastard, but I do care and ideally want to provide a good playing experience for all.
stoked for the new season! awesome ladder
