6th Trials - Suggestions and Feedback

[PlayerOa]

Phase 1: Well, this rewards the players who really want to become masters, and that is good, but I still feel it can be improved. But I am not sure how.

Phase 2: This was very good, and ban system worked great. Would be better if we could ban in off-element too. But I guess this might need a bit more variety.

Phase 3: This one is good.

Phase 4: I like how we had a different ban system, but more ban points would be nice. Also it was maybe a bit overly complicated.

Phase 1:
When the Master titles were initially created they were designed to be leaders in the community not just team captains. Phase 1 was used to allow applicants to prove they were willing to contribute to the forum on a Master level. I believe Masters are still intended to be leaders in the community rather than merely team captains.

I need some specific feedback on phase two.

Were the matches too many?

[Jen-i]

No I found the number of matches to be great. I found the fact that there were different rules for in-element and off-element just fine. Although apparently keeping track of what I've played is beyond my skill set.

There we're not too many matches, as a matter of fact I thought that less wouldn't be enough.  Being In an element that had only 2 challengers, I think many matches we're needed to prove our worth.  I'd just like if we could face more differents elements.

[Shantu]

I agree that it felt just right.

If you are also referring to Master's tourney, I think a few of us master's already posted some suggestions. Feel free to PM me if you want more detailed suggestions.

Phase 1, the last time it scored very strong, and practically was a lot of repetitions, ie it was only copying some stuff from either player, The score must be less, maximum 5 points. 10 points worth more than 3 wins!! I disagree.

To people who haven't stated their opinion on Phase 1 (People who have trialed before preferable):

What is your opinion on it (in general)? Do you want it to appear in Trials 7? Do you have a suggestion to prevent what happened in Trials 4 (Please PM me this if you do)?

I like Phase 1. It can showcase anything from activity, to deckbuilding, to creativity, to game experience, to forum knowledge. All of these are relevant to War, Brawl, and/or Guilds, which all turn to masters first. Thus, I see it as a vital part of Trials.

That being said, it may be weighted slightly too much. I don't personally believe so, but I can see why people would.

Needless to say, I would support it appearing in Trials 7.

To me, phase 1 looks more like proving of activity than proving of worthiness. Only problem is, in some trials it required lots of work, which, to me, only determined which players had the time to do trials apart from the ones who couldnt, or didnt want to spend the time doing work.
