Competition UPDATED 2/26 AmericanMarauder's The Equality Games: A Toobers Special Event

Hey AM here... bringing the first look at the next major Toobers event coming Saturday, April 20th:

AmericanMarauder's The Equality Games.

Here's a quick synopsis of the games. Rules to follow.

1. You pick a team of 3 - we suggest having alternates at the standby just in case.

2. You can only equip Uncommon T1 Level 10 items. No perks. Hey, we just made Crates extra sexy! *See Update below regarding Turbos.

3. Bracket-style game play in two categories. Best out of 3 until you get to the finals, where the final two squads will battle it out in a grueling best out of 5. Squeamish players need not apply.

UPDATE: We will be allowing contestants to use any level turbo (epic, rare, etc) they want with only speed boost turbo perks. No event turbo perks will be allowed. This will be so the matches flow faster and ships like Defender are not crippled.

Why the Equality Games? I created this event because of the irony. One of Battle Bay's biggest Pay to Win players is hosting a game where everyone is as close to being equal as possible. Going to be a lot of fun and show who has the skills to pay the bills. So start saving up your Uncommon T1 Level 10 equipment. You can run multiples of the same items, so if you're thinking about doing just that, you might want to buy the first one in the Item Store. Glorious prizes sponsored by the Battle Bay Developers Crew.

To participate you must join the Battle Bay: The Toobers Discord channel. Go to the Menu icon in game then Community then Discord. See you there!

Equality is coming to the Bay.

UPDATE 2/26

We’ve put together a prize package that blows away previous prize packages. 3 lucky winners in 2 categories will receive the following for 1st Place:

Prize Package Includes:
1. The Official Battle Bay T-Shirt
2. 2500 Pearls
3. 500,000 Gold
4. 100 Epic Power Cells

Anyway, there you have it. Can’t wait to see you all compete! More details to come.

 

Well if they put down the bag of Doritos long enough, who knows, maybe they'll win.

 

You mean more so than usual?!

 

I love the concept and idea of equalized weapons. Great idea.

I would love to participate in this one, unfortunately I don't have 8 extra inventory slots to buy uncommon items unless I start scrapping Epic dupes. I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be in the same boat .
It would cost me over 7500 pearls to buy the 10 inventory slots just to outfit a ship in uncommon gear.

 

You could store them on unused boats. You also have 2 months and 2 days to figure it out. I bought a whole set from the item store at one time and leveled them all up to 10 in one shot. Pretty cheap to do all of that.

 

My unused boats are full too, LOL. 109 of 110 inventory full, plus I have about 30 uncollected weapon achievements. I guess you can call me a hoarder, I keep epic dupes for every possible item in the game.
Of all the events you guys have done, this is my favorite. Maybe by April I can figure it out.

 

Interesting.
But its in April

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm???

 

I would consider changing the rules, to allow better Tubos into the games. Uncommon weapons are fine, but T1 uncommon Turbo, is gonna feel like playing in wet cement.

You wouldn’t be losing much ‘equality’, since Turbos cap much earlier than most other items. Some newer players might not have a good Turbo, but they’re going to get shafted on training anyway. I think it would be worth sacrificing that for faster games.

 

Haha i was just about to update it. See above.
