Chocobo Racing Tournament?

[Dyvid]

How come this isn't a thing?

Honestly, untill SE fixes tournaments, i'll skip on this. TT is fixed, Someone offered me 1kk yesterday to lose in the new vermillion thingy? Not sure how that works not even touched it yet, told him to f' off in any case.
But if its indeed the same as TT and they just threw it in like that.

I'll pass for sure.

It'd be more difficult to implement since everyone's chocobos have various levels and there'd be some cases of unfair matches.

I'm not sure how TT is fixed. There is basically no way to win first without trading. It's only "fixed" in that a lot of people already got their card so they don't bother.

Sorry i ment fixed as people losing on purpose i.e selling/trading wins.

And pretty much the same people are still on the list on my server every single time. And regardless if people slowly stop doing it now or not. It should never been accepted by SE.

It would have to be incredibly incentivized to get eight people in there at once without long queues. That's really the only way it would work because anything less than eight people and it's TT/LoV cheat-fest.

I just figured since it's DF based it would be harder to win trade than say TT.

I honestly don't care if it will be abused or not. Anything to encourage playing against other players and not just CPU opponents is a plus I think. I think maybe during the tournaments duration, there is some set times for races. You queue up for the tournament with a separate queue and all that make it race together (Or multiple races if we get like 12 people in the tournament race). Even if people buy wins, this shouldn't give anything amazing like rare chocobo skills or something, just more MGP for those at the top. So say something like this.

Chocobo Tornament Race Times:

Wednesday: 08:00, 08:07, 08:14

Thursday: 13:30, 13:37, 13:44

Friday: 08:00, 08:07, 08:14, 19:30, 19:37, 19:44, 22:00, 22:07

Saturday: 08:00, 08:07, 08:14, 08:21, 08:28, 13:30, 13:37, 13:44, 13:51, 13:58, 19:30, 19:37, 19:44, 19:51, 19:58, 22:00, 22:07, 22:14, 22:21, 22:28

Sunday: 08:00, 08:07, 08:14, 08:21, 08:28, 13:30, 13:37, 13:44, 13:51, 13:58, 19:30, 19:37, 19:44, 19:51, 19:58

I listed 49 different times, it should have the 30 races limit like other tournaments I think so you can't just no life and win because you were able to meet every race time. And maybe more times for those people between 22:00 and 08:00. But something like that would be great I think.

it's not really duty finder based. only people of your own server are matched with you. and it gets worse: you have to be at the chocobo square. so... you can take a look around. and if there is nobody else than you and your win trading partner there will be nobody else than you in the race too.

but it will be harder because of the NPC racers x)

I think you hit the nail on the head with the current system of Gold Saucer DF. I think SE needs to think careful about expanding Verminion and Chocobo Racing to Data Center DF and able to queue anywhere.
