Make event a fair trial.

[Belodred]

To make the event a little more fair for all the players, I would suggest that the next event held would be a bit more restricted. Maybe all the gladiators could start out with the same weapons. A weapon given to the hero before he goes into the instance. This would make it a clean fight and also very fun to watch. Would be nice to be able to actually see the fights as well.

i will no say anything about weapons

but you should make some invisible wall or somethign like that

we could see the fight bc of these doors

[Evolore]

well what they could do, is disallow any weapons, then randomly spawn some just before they spawn the mobs. That way they have some control over what's there for each mob type, and they'll be sure you have a wooden weapon for rust monsters, adamantine for iron golems, etc...

yes .. lets improve more:
- invisible wall
- gladiator side, texture or plain color, so gladiators cant see audience
- audience side, transparent wall

[Sarezar]

why shouldn't gladiator's be able to see the crowed?
i loved that i could see everyone up there while i was fighting, running up and down, cheering, booing and hhsssing

i think an invisible wall (or force field) for both sides is great

OO you mean like have a pannel of wepons to use and your throwing in there jsut like that.

would be brill a warrior woudl have to think fast and use his surrounding rather than reallying on hit kit.. ie you have been captures and stripped of everything you own and you ahve to figute your way through the area in order to win your freedom... ace idea woudl be such a challenge

Why should the event be 'more fair', than every day questing? 1st it's a personal thing of the competetors who want to prove something. And why were the casters not allowed to use magic? Knowing my fighter halfling is no match to a drwarf, I have to prove nothing and didn't compete. I can't fight Stom Giants on elite, that's it. And none forces u to stay when the perfect fighter champions with greatr bane 4 everything enter. If u play regularly, u know the names. Do as i did and leave. It's a show, nothing else and it's up to the audience, what they want to see, as it's up to u who's party u join. Btw, on Aureon the vorpal weapon didn't help much after the GM realized it was in use ;p

I know, but thinking about for the show. It has to be fun to watch as well. A farir fight for all and a good show for the public.

Well, it is as you say a show of skills and gameplay. In the every day questing all get to use their abilities. All spellcasters had restrictions in this fight. Also you have a crowd watching you, and it is better to see a fair fight then walk in the park.

A good idea was as evolore said to stirp players of all items for q only and let us see the players in action.
