Selenial Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Ladies and Gentlemen, We are proud to announce that the fabled Kaggath tournament will be returning this spring! That's right, a fresh and renewed adaptation of the Kaggath Battlegrounds will be making their way to the ComicVine forums hopefully next week! The tournament will be hosted on ComicVine to allow a larger participation pool, as the forum is free and hosts many of the greatest Star Wars debaters. We haven't forgotten our roots though, and as a gesture to our home forums, we wanted to let you all know first! While we cannot give you an unfair advantage by releasing the faction template, those of you who participated in the original battlegrounds should have a good idea of what is to come. For those of you worried about time, know that the format of ComicVine debates lends to fewer but longer posts, and we are hoping to drastically cut down on the time these faction contests take. We've accommodated this even more with the changes we have made to the format. We hope to see many of you around when the tournament launches, and we'll make sure to link the signup thread down below when it's ready. Post up below if you're interested, we'd love to know how many of you are interested. If you have any questions that also aren't too specific, we'd love to see them too! — Sel, Aurbere and Beni Edited April 2, 2016 by Selenial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selenial Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 It can be done with any number, to be honest. We had 10 teams last time, which led to a 3 faction battleground, but it worked quite well. Could do it with as few as 4 (Which I believe is what we've got already, despite not announcing it anywhere other than here) and could go with as many as 16...

Selenial Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Right when I have absolutely no time. Aww, how long for? We might be able to help accomodate for that, since faction making is probably going to take a while, and we could make sure you weren't fighting in the first round? If that helps, I'm not sure how long you'll be out of commission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PadsterPwns Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Out of interest, what is the Kaggath? I'm guessing we're not building armies to kill each other but is it any similar to Conquest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beniboybling Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Out of interest, what is the Kaggath? I'm guessing we're not building armies to kill each other but is it any similar to Conquest? I would advise referring to the Rulebook on that one to give you a general gist: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=745159 Building armies to kill each other isn't too far off the mark, and as I understand it, yes it is similar to conquest. To put it plainly you construct a faction and must argue their victory over other factions in a series of tournament style matchups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment it seems like a tournament version of Conquest but with stricter rules. Edited April 6, 2016 by PadsterPwns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much The stricter rules came in because we've had numerous people attempt the cheat the system. Nothing wrong with it when they tried, but a lot of it was against the spirit of the Kaggath, prompting new rules... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
