[Team Fortress 2] Epic Battle Royale

 


IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to technical difficulties, the tournament will be relaunched and will begin on Tuesday, November 17th at 4PM Pacific, and continue until November 29th as planned. Previous gameplay will not count towards the drawing. Please log into the game to play again to be counted. We apologize for the inconvenience.

To qualify for this event, you just need to signup here with your Username and Steam ID. Just login and play, it's that easy!

Care to elaborate? I don't understand how this event wasn't as thought out as the others nor how having many events makes it "half-assed." We just want to give gamers the chance to get together, have fun, and win some prizes.

This is why i love EVGA, ide like to join but my wife would kill me if i was playing games instead of helping her out with our newborn.  Hopefully soon

You have two weeks to play so maybe you can squeeze some gaming in.

So you just have to play and then you will randomly win?

Yeah I have to find time between Work,School,Wifey and the kid, but I still get in there to get some gaming in. Just have to do it while the warden isnt looking. Two weeks to play, I know what im going to be doing during Thanksgiving break.

Yes, all you really have to do is show up and you're in the drawing. I sort of missed the last event, so I'm happy to see this!

Does the ammount of time you play the server influence your chance of winning?

Like could i just go in for 5 mins then still have as much chance as others?

Would it be hard to host at least one server from Europe? It isn't fun to play with a ping of 200.

It is an option, but no one would play on it. :( It wouldn't get filled. We've tried to run events in the past with EU servers but the ending doesn't turn out well.

Just make sure the you get at least 10-20kills over the two weeks time, when you kill someone it will say  0/10 kills to get before the stats start tracking you.

wat server is this been played on..ip?

I think it's awesome y'all are hitting another event already.  Not sure how I missed it last time, but the Facebook link on the event page caught me this time.

just wondering how long it takes to get a confirmation email? when i registered it said i would get one shortly but none since i registered a day ago.

i resubmitted in case i did something wrong, and was told "the system updated [my] record" so im assuming it is in...but no email.

I think the confirmation mail isn't coming. It's.. broken I believe. No one got it -- I'm trying to get it fixed.
As long as you sign up, you are entered.

The server list is on the signup page and in the original post of this thread.
I'll even link it for you here: http://173.45.117.246/epic_royale/hl/hlstats.php

cool i signed up and also didn't get confirmation email but i guess that alright :D 

and also is my game name what i use to login to steam or my ingame name?

Thanks for the invite EVGA.  Just wanted to add, We've ran a server, 2fort 24/7, and with our experience, we've seen tons of players interested in more on a 16-18 slot server, especially for 2Fort.  When we did anything beyond that, we hardly had visitors, soon as we changed it back to the 18 slot server..it was packed for many hours of the day and night.  Would you guys concider dropping the amount of player slots on a map like this?  More strategy? Less chaos?  Thoughts please.

I would like input on this from others. From my experience huge 2Fort games aren't too fun.. lots and lots of sentry guns.

Use your in game name. If you did not, you can enter the information again and it will update the database.

It is set to 25 kills since this is a 2 week period.

We've ran our server since the beginning of team fortress 2, and has been very successful, the thing that makes it much more interesting, is class restrictions, no more then 2 of the same class's, more of a balance, and more of a strategic play on a map like that, i've had countless nights, with lots of fun.  Till this day we play on the same server, lots of regulars since day one.

The decade event seemed very organized because of the little things like the thumbnails for prizes and new motd for the servers. The last event didn't have as much flair nor effort involved, but it still worked out because it was some time since the decade event. This latest one has the production values of the previous event with none of the unexpectedness. It's stretched over a longer period of time and really loses the excitement involved in the previous events. At this point, it just feels like we're giving out some hardware, not having an involved community event. Populating the servers is one thing, but you need to retain the benefits of the community past the free items.

Chances to win are the same. It's a random raffle.

I can't express how bad this is for long term population of the server when events aren't going on, and the totally random raffle won't be nearly as effective to over 2 weeks to fill the servers in the first place. >_>


As I've said before you need a long term event(Like this) but people need to actually work to be entered into the raffle otherwise as others have said your just giving away stuff and not actually rewarding people who play your server). Over a 2 week period anyone that should have any chance of winning should be able to put in 5-8 hours easily(Around 30min a day if you play everyday).


Anyways thanks for the event. ^_^
