Over the weekend the Project 1999 server began its first wave of single person Best of the Best tournaments. The first four classes up for combat were Necros, Rangers, Rogues, and Shamans.

In the final match of the Necromancer tournament, Necrious of TMO was set to face off against Shinko of BDA. Call it gear, skill, or luck, but at the end of the day it was Necrious The Warlock standing proudly atop the bones of his defeated opponents.

After a long heated debate, the staff decided that rangers were people too, and as such, we allowed them to compete in the tournament. When it came time for the Ranger Championship (oxymoron?) match, two TMO guild mates stood toe to toe. Internode's prayers must have been heard by Tunare as he was victorious in slaying Zilo, and becoming The Warder of Project 1999.

Everyone knows there's honor amongst thieves, but bragging rights are just as important to thieves, and this past weekend they were up for grabs. All good rogues think highly of themselves, but now was the time to prove it. When the shadows cleared, the spectators were surprised to see Hasbinbad of the mostly retired IB and Crazyeyes as the last two Rogues still standing. The battle ensued, Crazyeyes was victorious and crowned The King of Thieves.

There was no short supply of voodoo and witchcraft as the Shamans took to the platform in preparation for battle. Svenn was proudly representing BDA as Klubba waited for the battle across the platform. After what felt like an eternity, Svenn was defeated, and Klubba was named The Oracle of Project 1999.


Again, Congrats to all the winners, as well as everyone that participated. We all hope you had as much fun as we did.

Shaman: Klubba The Oracle
Necro: Necrious The Warlock
Ranger: Internode The Warder
Rogue: Crazyeyes The King of Thieves


And remember to sign up for the next set of BotB tournaments by sending a PM to Ambrotos on these forums, or by using /petition in game.


Have fun and Good Luck!
-The Staff!

GMs offer summons to the event as well if you want to go watch, it's pretty entertaining!

I have not seen any footage of the Avatar of War, so here is some footage i got ( first time i have recorded so i just used my phone but not bad quality)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z75CtZOzdeg&feature=player_embedded

I also have some footage of the Necro's Battle showing their health bars as they drop, I did record from my phone but looks good enough so i uploaded, but the round 1 video is a little glitched but can still read names/bars so i uploaded it too.

Best of three fights, Necro Finals w/ healthbars:

Round 1 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qzJ_P875Uk
Round 2 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j84N12xRne8
Round 3 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgXUNAzJ_2M

Monks, Wizards on Saturday.
Mage, Warriors on Sunday

In your thread it says this is the order:

5) Monk
6) Mage
7) Bard
8) Warrior
9) Wizard

Why are we skipping Bards? Is it because we already know in advance that I'm going to win? I guess that's reasonable.

You're right. Changing my post. Don't know why I typed what I did.

giegue, how big of an advantage would a bard epic provide? Just curious, not even trolling.

By my calculations: not a lot. I mean you could do more damage with desperate dirge, bombastic bellow, or turn our snare into a root (I think - I've never had Bard epic so I don't know if this is how it works), but those spells will get resisted a ton anyway, and with the exception of bellow, neither are all that effective against a Bard. I haven't thought this through a lot so maybe there's some other advantage you get from the epic, but I think having an instrument will be better 99% of the time.

the real question is how long is the bard and warrior joust off gonna last, specially with truncheons on them

I don't see the warrior BoTBs lasting long at all - 3-4 mins a fight tops. Once a war hits beserker with a 2 handed weapon you're talking 400-600 dmg hits for cripling blows. That will cut down on the time alot- thats like 12-20% hp of an unbuffed warrior in 1 swing.

Monk BoTB will take a while - with good jousting mend will pop atleast twice. Expect 6-15 min fights for monk BoTB.

Bards I'm not sure about.. depends on resists but could take a while.

Mages - I don't seem them taking too long at all. No way to regain HP like necro or shaman BoTB. Maybe 8-12 mins a fight tops.

Just my opinions.

without jboots its almost impossible to joust successfully, monk rounds will be quick

The next classes with the target date of August 18th, and 19th.

Monks, Mage on Saturday.
Bard, Warriors on Sunday

Pretty much the same ruleset as most classes, with no Fungi Tunics. Still deciding on weapons for monks. Best of the Best videos show it was pretty much just fists. I see no other weapons, and they were right clicking epic it looks like. So I need to Fine tune that.

Warriors no Trochilic's Skean allowed.

Still waiting for information about the mages, in allowing Epic to be used. Since they also had Velious spells for this event, it won't be like how it was on live. So some changes maybe in.

I will be making the own Announcement later tonight so it has more visibility.

I strongly suggest that the Blackstone Maul be disallowed from the Warrior BoTB as its present 51/53 form was not implemented until well after Velious was first released.

When used by competent jousters this thing genuinely rips people up,
Throwing a Velious-era weapon against Kunark-geared characters means that people get torn up.

I don't want to win or place highly in the BoTB just because I have access to a weapon that is illegitimately much more powerful than it should be.

It should be prohibited,
That is, unless the fix for the Maul is scheduled to be put in prior to the BoTB.

Is there going to be a separate announcement thread for the BoTBs of the next four classes, with the official class-specific rulesets, posted shortly ?

Ambrotos

Yes, I'm just out of town and haven't had anytime to make one up. I should have one up with in the next two days.
