Pro/Open Class - Stock 1.4 LW (optimise is basically a must with little weight to play with)

I'm up for this

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #61 on:** August 30, 2016, 02:25:22 PM »

So are we going to ban me entering a 1WD HS if we have Stock LW? If so, I better build something else. (Like a 2WD HS lol)

yugitom · « **Reply #62 on:** August 30, 2016, 02:25:59 PM »

It'll be Stock MW.

Is there anyone in that 12 that definitely wouldn't enter if it was Retooled (other than Mech)?

I have a little food for thought based on using Retooled..

If the tournament is to be run soon (which seems to be the case given the pacing of this discussion) there is the potential for exploitable aspects yet to be uncovered to the community (in extreme cases a Narmour like scenario for instance) I mean absolutely no disrespect to the great work made by Mr AS, the metagame is just young and in its early days.

If the tournament is set as a more distant project there is the potential for optimal designs to still shine through but all the bugs worked out.

Using retooled as an unknown is great in one situation but also a gamble in another.. it would still need to be tried and tested (perhaps in tournament situations) to truly work out all the nerfs and buffs thoroughly.

In my opinion the risk of optimal designs is a better trade off than the risk of exploits, as the more final release should be balanced enough to generate a "rock paper scissors" scenario but its a question if that fits the timeline for this tournament..

Exactly a problem, think there could be a rule that a bot could be denied if something like that happens. Also it's probably better to make sure that a lot of bot types work instead of "let's try something new as long as we don't have a meta" because it's a short time solution.

grab your balls
sure ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Typical Jonzu quote here.

Personally I think it would be better to have a mod for the entire tournament so people can try to be creative in multiple weightclasses, but this works too.
IF>DSL, DSL is so unbalanced in it's current state and just seems to be a fan favorite, while IF never seemed to get the love it deserved.

It'll be Stock MW.

OK, same question for 1WD MW HS

i shall enter this

Urjak · « **Reply #66 on:** August 30, 2016, 03:01:05 PM »

This sounds interesting. I'll probably enter something.

RpJk · « **Reply #67 on:** August 30, 2016, 04:03:17 PM »

I'll enter the stock part of the tournament.

So looks like I'll have to build something new. One last tournament, one last time.
After that I'll be 100% done with this game.

I cannot wait. Now I just need to put RA2 on a memory stick and that'll be it.

Silverfish · « **Reply #68 on:** August 30, 2016, 05:00:05 PM »

I'll enter, whatever it is, but I'd prefer stock HW, which seems to not be an option. :P
Anyway, good luck everyone!

Sage · « **Reply #69 on:** August 30, 2016, 06:31:28 PM »

just saw this

so it's retool HW, stock MW, and DSL/IF MW?

If you really want to be fancy you could have a different ribbon for each meta. It'd also solve the issue of someone winning more than one version.

Also I would move the start points in the RA2T2 arena forward as I'm pretty sure stilt bots get caught on the wall when the match starts

Correct, except it'll be DSL/IF LW.

Righto, I'll get on that (or Mr AS, if he doesn't mind, rather :P)

Yeah, I doubt 1WD bots will be outright banned but something with more wheels would be appreciated :)

DSL 2.1 would do it for me

yugitom · « **Reply #77 on:** August 31, 2016, 11:04:31 AM »

It seems we've reached a decision. I am very sorry about those would have preferred the third metagame to be DSL, but I hope that I see you guys entering the tournament, regardless.

With that out of the way, I will see if there are any rules that need to be added or polished and I will also try and get confirmation on the prizes. The metagames that this tournament will be taking place in are Stock (MW), Ironforge (LW) and Retooled (HW). I'm not accepting entrants yet, but starting to build now may be a good idea

Thrackerzod · « **Reply #78 on:** August 31, 2016, 01:01:20 PM »

Are there any bot restrictions? Like no SnS, no crawlers, no 1WD, etc?

Also, is Retooled meant to be DSL-S style or Stock style?
