Announcing Run 6 of the Wof Pro Series

Dawn of the Lone Hunter



By popular demand, bringing the WoF Pro Series to a wider audience,
the WPS will be accepting entries from Solo Hunters.
Just like team entries, a solo hunter has only to post qualifying globals to be in with a shot at the prize money.
Clearly, a team has greater scoring potential...
However the advantage that a Lone Hunter has is that they don't have to organise a team, or part-team, to go out and hunt, they can set off in search of globals any time they feel like it.
Also, a team also has to divide the prize money between it's members, a winning Lone Hunter could keep every single Pec.

A chance for teams to compete against the highly skilled,
on a level playing field.
A chance for the skilled to show they can beat a crowd, solo.



WoF Pro Series Winners so far have been:
Run 1 : M2S Legends
Run 2 : Sex on Ice
Run 3 : WoF England 2009
Run 4 : TDO
Run 5 : Maffoid Challenge

How good would your name look on this list? :)




Currently in Run 6 the Scores are :

1st
Angel Shadow Heart - 1454 points

2nd
Lady Nadie Hawke - 1339 points

3rd
"WPS England" - 1066 points

4th
"WPS Consortium" - 813 points


Run 6 commenced:
12:00 MA Time on Weds 17th September 2008


Run 6 Ceases:
12:00 MA Time on Tues 14th October 2008


That's Midday til Midday. Mid-month til Mid-month ;)





And so, the Run 6 Mob-list looks like this:

Atrax (Dominant or higher) LA04 19600/9800
Only the big ones score this Run, as in Run 5.
Can they produce a 20k HoF again?


Phasm (Any Maturity) LA38 1630/3100
Any size of these tough little snow-dogs will do.


Longu (Any Maturity) LA05 19800/11100
Like the Phasms, any size scores.

Hogglo (Up to Guardian) LA34 6900/17900
There are some Matures and lots of Olds and Guardians
Clarification: Hogglo Providers are Tougher than Guardians
Scoring Hogglo then : Young, Mature, Old, Guardian
The occasional Provider and Dom will get in your way

Kingfisher (Mature) LA34 6900/17900
The Run 6 stumbling block. There are plenty of Matures there...
Lots more Young though, and so agro.
Matures only will score points this Run



Here's a link to Land Area details from Entropedia
All the Land Areas featured are "Outback" areas
http://www.entropiawiki.com/Chart.aspx?chart=LandArea


The Prizes for the winning teams in Run 6 are as follows:

1st Place: 1500 Ped

2nd Place : 600 Ped

3rd Place : 400 Ped



That's right, Hunting for CASH PRIZES!



All prize money is donated by our sponsor NeverDie. In addition a proportion of the prize fund goes to the World of Firepower Treasury, so by competing in the WoF Pro Series, you are helping to ensure the success of future World of Firepower and Festival of Firepower Events.


WoF Pro Series

Free to Enter, and Open to All





For the uninitiated:

The WoF Pro Series is a World of Firepower style Team Hunt Monthly competition, Free to Enter, and Open to All. Only now it's open to Solo Hunter too. Teams can be any size 2 - 12, and the object is to global on each of the 5 mobs, in the stated Land Area. The TT Value of each global becomes the score for that global. The total value of your best 5 globals, 1 from each scoring mob, becomes your team's Total Score. You can even go out and improve your score, by bagging a better global on a mob, and then posting it - your score wil be updated.

For a full summary of the Rules and Instruction see the WoF Pro Series (WPS) Thread, but it's pretty obvious what is required.

The main thing to know is that your first global screenshot will Set the Team List, if you are in a team. Subsequent globals from that team can include any or all of the established team, but NOT new people. Obviously the Team name should also match, but I will forgive errors like spacing and Capitals, as long as it's clearly the same team.
Soloists can post in any order, as long as they post within 48 hours of the global. Spelling, for them, will not be an issue.

There are 3 changes to the rules as stated there:

1. A print of the map is No Longer required, just time and location.

2. All screenshots MUST be posted with 48 hours of the Global for it to be valid.

3. Solo Hunters are now welcome to submit entries.



Please post all global screenshots in THIS thread.

Team names in the format "WPS - {whatever}" please.


The 48-hour Rule will ensure that the thread, and the competition, is kept alive and kicking from start to finish. It also gives every team the chance to see how the competition is doing and to improve on their own scores, for that IS allowed. In fact it is encouraged...


So that's it, you know what to do, you know what to hunt, you know when to start, and when to stop. And I'm pretty sure you know how to KILL!

GO TO IT!


There will, I have no doubt, be questions. Feel free to post any and all queries, problems, questions, concerns and clarifications in this thread. Whinges should be written clearly, in ink, on a sheet of A4 paper, and binned.

Amendments / Additions :

1. (ThanX Nadie)
There is Nothing in the WoF Rules at the present time that prevents a player either being in 2 different teams or competing Solo and as part of a team also. I will watch closely to see if this needs amending. (If, for example, a highly skilled player mopped the board... I may remove the option then..)

However, exactly how your team-mates will feel about you competing against them is quite another matter...





Please feel free to post any Questions/Queries...

Nice! I may just give it a go as a solo though could be tougher to solo hof rather than team :D

Glad to see the rule re: posting screenies too that makes it far more interesting ;)

Edited to ask: can we compete in a team and solo if we wish? (obviously seperate scoring globals/screenshots)

Excellent. I wish you every success, I hope there'll be several like you with the courage to give this a shot...

:laugh: I wondered about including something about this in the o/p, but I thought, "Nah, let's wait and see how quick it comes up..."

First reply. Great work...

I'll add the above paragraphs to the o/p, for clarity...

Thanx for bringing it up so quickly :thumbup:

Thread is sticky.

Not a bad idea Chopper, could be interesting this month!
 
Question...

So be it a team of 2 or 12, once team has been established by posting globals on all 5 mobs, if you go out for pick ups "higher points" you still need a min 2 person? team question only.

Hi FM..

Just as before, if you're in a team, establish your team, and then crack on with the globalling... Score improvements are still allowed... The team must include 2 or more of the originally established team...

The Only change is that now we allow entries from Solo Hunters who, like the teams , can also improve their score as the month wears on...

Hope that makes sense...

Questions and Clarifications continue to be welcomed...

Yeah that's the one I meant...

Saw it in-game, thought "Aw, Trax too small to score, unlucky.."

Then thought "Actually, 9k. Not that unlucky..."

Gratz on your entry, and huge gratz on the 9k Trax... :yay:

Keeps you in ammo for a day or 2 at least...

Hi George,

The numbers next to the scoring Land Area details are the grid reference, or Co-ordinates of the Land Area referred to.

If you're in-game, and bring up the Map with "M", you can move the cursor around the map, and at the bottom it shows your the exact "co-ords" you are pointing at.

Along the top edge of the map are several hotkeys. One of them, "A", brings up the player owner Land Area in blue.

Now you can see where the LA is, and where the nearest Teleporter is.


But sure, I could include a link to a map of Amethera too. Nice idea.
 
Nice ide this :)

Hard to compete with Angel tho i gess lol

]It would be easy to think so, Lazz. However, as we saw last month, one good size HoF can have a Huge impact on the scores, and on the positions...

Of course, if going up against the likes of Shadow and Nadie is daunting, you could always assemble a small team and boost your overall Firepower ;)
