Tournament Frequency

[Sepone]

I can't remember how many tournaments I've fought the last days, but it have been a lot. I mean a lot a lot!
It seems every city holds a tournament every week. To me that doesn't feel right, I would like to see them being more of a special event.

I would like to hear other opinions on this topic. What do you fellow Calradians think?

They missed the mark again here on tourneys, get barely any renown, the bids give next to no return and the item rewards are lackluster. Quite disappointed in tourneys, they need a big revamp along with a lot of other aspects of this game.

I have made the same experience as you guys. I grinded some tournaments to get to the top of the leaderboard, but if that is supposed to do anything, it is not implemented yet. But the fact that there is a leaderboard in the first place gives me some hope that some work will go into this still.
I also miss feasts in general, in Warband they were essentially the only interesting event aside from wars, maybe if they add some sort of replacement for what feasts were in Warband, they will do some changes tournament frequencies, too.

In Warband you were alerted to a Tourney being held upon entering a town - as if it were a big deal and you could dedicate your wins to the lovely ladies of the feast. Here its like a non-event. like the crowd noises better now tho

I wish tournies weren't in the Arena tab, they should be on the main page, or maybe some visual on the map to know if one is happening?

Also perhaps there can be Royal Tournies? Only the hardest opponents, other lords, and tier 5 opponents, but the rewards are much greater? Then there could be a feast to go with it.

Yep should be front and center with Tourney Art and maybe a horn sounding. Game needs more horns.

Okay this thread has quickly turned into a general tournament complaining thread, so I might as well, haha.
I like the idea of horn sounding when you enter a town with a tournament, the town menu could generally have ambient noises like a crowd cheering and such. Would add a lot to the game in general I think.
There is a LOT that could be added to and around tournaments (as with everything else, really). I have no idea however, what Talewords is planning or not planning to do, so I would rather not lose my head in the clouds.

I am certain that tournaments get a revamp, it is only early access afterall. I just can't wait... ? ?

Oh yes, I forgot to mention the feats. I miss those, too. They added some RPG feeling, even with all the nobles repeating the same sentences. And you had to talk to them to get relationship boost for helping someone in battle, making feasts the perfect place were everybody was in one spot. ??

Different tiers of tournaments, easier for beginners with low level armor, tough challenges for end game. That's a great idea!

I second this. Sound thy horns, if you please! ??

Thanks for your input, fellow Warmongers (or Traders, if that's your cup of tea). And don't forget, no respawns IRL, so... STAY HEALTHY!

[EDIT] First overhaul for tourneys: We get XP now! That's at least one more reason to participate.
