Festive Hunting Tournaments!
As many hunters know, the construction yard where the Snow Fortress now stands was the site where the King's Tournament Hall was being constructed. With the plans of the Mad Elf Mouse now foiled by hunters, one last objective remains -- Drive the Mad Elf Mouse and his troublesome Festive Mice out of the Kingdom and finish the construction of the Tournament Hall!
What better way to drive out the Festive Mice than with some hunting competition! In anticipation of the Tournament Hall's completion, the King has commissioned the return of hunting tournaments with some festive-themed competitions!
Working in teams to hunt the Festive Mice is sure to drive them out of the Kingdom quicker! Will your team prove itself as the best festive hunters in the Kingdom?
Joining or Creating a Team
Before you can join a festive tournament, you'll first need a hunting team! You can create your own and invite friends, or look around for a friend on a team with an open position.
To create you own team, click the teams link on the main navigation where you can then pick a name, motto and description for your team. Once your team has been created, you can then invite friends to join your team and hunt alongside you!
If a friend has an open position on their team, the captain of that team can send you an invitation to join. You'll then receive a notification from which you can accept or decline the team invitation.
Joining a Tournament
Once you're part of a team, you can join tournaments! To join a tournament, click the tournaments option from the teams drop-down menu on the game navigation. You'll be taken to a listing of all upcoming tournaments.
If you want to see more information about the tournament, including the number of teams involved, how the scoring works, and within which locations the tournament takes place, click the details button. To immediately join the tournament, click the join button.
Please note the captain joining a tournament does not enter the entire team. Each individual team member must join the tournament before it starts. This is in preparation of future updates that will expand the allowed number of team members and also allow different members of your team to compete in different tournaments at the same time.
Competing in a Tournament
Upon joining a tournament, a new heads-up display will appear near the top of the game informing you how long until the tournament starts, how many fellow team members have joined the same tournament, how many active team members are in the same tournament, and some new controls to invite your teammates and friends to compete with you.
Upon the tournament starting, the HUD will change to indicate the amount of time remaining along with your team's current points and rank. You can click the name of the tournament on the HUD to view the tournament details should you need a reminder of the scoring rules.
Tournament Rewards
By competing in tournaments, you can earn collectible trophies and badges, as well as tournament tokens, that you'll be able to spend at the Tournament Hall upon its completion. The number of teams that entered the tournament, the length of the tournament, and your team's rank upon the tournament's completion determine what reward you receive.
1st PlaceShould your team finish in first place, each member of your team that competed in the tournament will receive a Gold Tournament Trophy along with a heap of Tournament Tokens! Remember, lengthy tournaments will reward more tournament tokens.
