Yep, I took this straight from the suggestion pile. I guess I thought of it more as a "Steal My Idea" kind of thread than an "I'd like to run this" kind of thread, but hey, I'd love it if more people stepped up to run their own events.
OP edited to give credit where credit is due.
Two questions...
1- I suspect this will happen after WAR, or pretty close to the end. Is that when this is expected to go live or is there a more specific time?
Nope. There will always be either WAR or Trials going on in the background; the PVP Events are going to be an ongoing 2nd layer of events to take up the gap between weekly Tournaments and the War/Trials.
2- How would I gain a life, if at all, if I were to go 3-0 in my first round where I already had 12 lives? Does it get banked like credit or do I not get the life since I would already have 12?
If you go 3-0 with all 12 lives, you 'bank' an extra life which is automatically used on the first life you do lose.
And in response to the Shard objections, I've added a poll to see what the overall community thought is. If you've signed up, please vote!
