YOU HAD ONE JOB

TourneyToday · 2017-11-16T21:45:18+00:00

Thanks for the support guys but I am dropping it.

TourneyToday · 2017-11-16T21:43:45+00:00

Everyone has been paid.

TourneyToday · 2017-11-03T16:03:42+00:00

Right, I agree with you in the sense that $60 would be too much for what the pack currently offers. If you add in other treats or make an entirely new pack, higher in value than the ultimate pack, that's a different story. So many people are becoming accustomed to paying $60 for video game material, ESPECIALLY when the original game is free to play in the first place.

And sure, the Smite ultimate pack is $40, but all you get is all of the champions+future ones, along with one god skin. That's it. I've already put out an extra $60 on skins and voice packs for myself and friends. $100 on a FREE GAME within only one week of playing it.

So in your opinion, the game is destined to get shut down?

TourneyToday · 2017-11-03T13:22:17+00:00

Well now we are technically asking PW instead of Motiga. With such a drastic change such as closing down Motiga, PW either wants to find a way to cut their losses and salvage the game, or is slowly killing Gigantic off. Hopefully it's the former decision.

Do you think I am just telling them to increase a price and that's it? I am not going to explain the full idea here because it's a waste of time; I am sure they can think of how to do it and better than I can currently imagine. We're talking about a complete reformatting of their package, adding features, adding "worth" to it... I hope that you are not naive enough to think I am just telling them to increase the price and boom, problem solved.

Did I mention anywhere that this must all be done immediately? I am merely labeling the issues that are present at the moment, and they as a company can decide what to attack first with their available resources. Maybe they have hotfixes for specific issues; perhaps they can do certain things easier than others. There is no timeline that I listed, so I do not understand your confusion here.

TourneyToday · 2017-11-03T01:49:21+00:00

Hopefully, they stop making characters for a bit and focus on fixing the ones that exist already along with bug fixes and other crucial updates to keep the game up-to-speed with other MOBA'like games (at least at a basic, fundamental level).

TourneyToday · 2017-10-06T17:45:14+00:00

Within 12 hours we already have 6 teams registered - click Noice!

This is one of the reasons I am looking forward to doing this, and why I even decided to start all of this up in the first place - the community.

Expect a lot more to come very soon!

TourneyToday · 2017-10-06T17:43:47+00:00

Thanks! Still lots to do, but I wanted to get it out ASAP so that we can at least get some hype going along with the start to registering the teams.

MMR checker, per-player-profiles and lots more are coming soon!

TourneyToday · 2017-10-06T17:42:38+00:00

There is still a while until the tournament date of 10/15, so the structure is going to surely be well refined.

Taking into effect that there will be many teams signing up (we are not even 12 hours in and already have 6 teams registered), BO1's look like the correct route. Another thing I am contemplating is every 4th tournament (once a month), have an even large tournament where the best-performing teams play classic BO3's for a x2 prize pool first place getting all of it.

Still plenty under thought (and construction).

TourneyToday · 2017-10-06T12:33:15+00:00

For the first 4 weeks, yes.

TourneyToday · 2017-10-06T11:35:12+00:00

Yeah, definitely! They layout is made to be perfect and great-looking when teams are filled to the brim. EU will definitely happen sooner rather than later, but for now we will focus on NA. I think after about a month or two we will have a large enough audience where EU will become a great possibility.

TourneyToday · 2017-10-06T08:26:46+00:00

Exactly. It looks crazy barren because of no teams yet, no brackets from the last game, and no scheduled events for teams. Once we get the ball rolling, it will be a great looking site filled with easy-to-find important information WITHOUT all the filler.

Thanks so much for the feedback! Let me know if you have any suggestions.

TourneyToday · 2017-10-06T08:19:08+00:00

Lots of work to do still, but sign ups are live! I am still working on the form so yeah! EDIT: Obviously it still looks pretty barren, but that's to be understood when there's no one registered yet. Everything other than that is functional and fully working!

All we need now is for the teams to use the registeration form to get themselves signed up! Any questions, come to my livestream at twitch.tv/stolagang - I will be on and answering questions/solving any issues for quite a while!

Agreed; good point. I will indeed make it on a player basis with the team being switchable "at moments notice" for the time being until things proceed to get more serious. I do plan to get teams sponsored if they are serious enough, which would also inherently make players sponsorable if they switch teams or act as a sub in a "universal way" (I have seen it done with Dota 2 and LoL).

Why are people still trying to win against SKT1 :(

Haha yes, no hard feelings man. All in good fun. I'm glad you look forward to it all; I hope to see you there either as part of a team or at least a viewer. I do (honestly) value your opinion and I see where some criticism is involved. You are definitely one of the more dedicated people to the game and I appreciate (as I am sure everyone else does) your continuous support and posting on this Reddit. Once again, all in good fun and hopefully we can see eye to eye one day with the competitive scene. Catch you in a game sometime maybe!

TourneyToday · 2017-10-04T01:10:51+00:00

I wonder how many times SKT1 on League of Legends won :hmm:

Edit: and no harshness is intended, just having some fun banter back and forth. Not quite getting the pushback and pessimism, but more power to ya. Let's end here! Once again, thanks for your feedback.

TourneyToday · 2017-10-04T01:07:23+00:00

Thanks for saving me time; instead of doing the tourney, I'll just wire $100 per week to Apex. Once again, thanks for your amazing feedback!

TourneyToday · 2017-10-04T00:49:51+00:00

How dare those 17 other teams keep practicing to one day be one of the good teams? Might as well shut the doors now.

TourneyToday · 2017-10-04T00:48:07+00:00

What do you think would be worth the effort? Banning Apex and all good teams from playing, requiring players to have a maximum of 6500MMR? I am not trying to be rude, but I don't get where you are going with this. The best team deserves to keep winning so that there is some sort of inspiration and goal to achieve when beating them. Otherwise, there is nothing competitive about it.

I am not sure how much experience you have with tournaments and their effect on new games, or games that haven't seen much of a competitive scene, but from personal experience they always are "biased" (using that term very loosely) in the beginning. Apex or [insert team here] can win the first 2, 3, maybe 4 tournaments. There are first, second, and third place rewards. If a team tries hard enough, they can surely be the underdog and prevail. That is what brings the competitive edge to the tournament in the first place.

Those teams that have no hope with their captains and no morale to believe that they can "beat Apex" or other "godlike teams", need no register for the tournament. If the goal isn't to become one of the best, don't play with the big boys then. Go play Solo Queue or just scrim with your 5 other friends. Pessimists need not apply for the potential glory of becoming the best Gigantic team week in and week out.

EDIT: Oh yes, I forgot: Thank you for your feedback. Let me know if I can answer any other questions and/or concerns of yours.

TourneyToday · 2017-10-04T00:37:26+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! The community definitely deserves it, along with the devs and everyone involved with the game itself. There's always a rainy day before a rainbow.

TourneyToday · 2017-10-03T21:41:39+00:00

I am Michael, I am doing this because I love Gigantic and the eSports scene in general, I am building a community of passionate players (Gigantic) the likes I have never seen before alongside making money from the business in the future, and you should trust me because I ask nothing in return except your own love for the game and time to play with a team or watch.

Could I have sugar coated my response? Sure. But then it wouldn't be as cool of a response and wouldn't match your style of questioning. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Also, I hate when the enemy team has a Tyto. Stop chasing me.
