Rally hour: 20:00 EEST (17:00 UTC). Every evening of Next Fest you're welcome to log in so there is always someone to fight. On Tuesday that's inside the PvP tournament window and I'll stream it live on the Store page until 22:00 EEST.
MANALA NEXT FEST PVP TOURNAMENT
When. Tuesday 20 October 18:00 to Wednesday 21 October 23:45 (EEST).
Where. The free Manala demo on Steam. Just you and your foam sword, no grouping up. Two classes: Mage and Smith.
How you score. One point per win against another player:
you kill them out in the world
you win a gate duel in a siege
they flee from you
Ties. Most wins. Then most different characters beaten. Then most different players beaten.
Fair play. I'll check the logs - please don't trade kills.
Worth knowing.
You cannot attack a player who still has new-player protection, and it protects you the same way. Drop it when you are ready to fight
You and your opponent must be on opposite sides
The Killboard in the Siege window is the live view of the results
Prize. The winner picks a title that is theirs alone in the full game when it opens on 5 November and their name in the game's credits window if they want it.
