Please read the Battleship Devastation rules posted below. You MUST follow them to qualify to win a prize. Every effort was made to make it fair and outline how the contest works.

All entries are to be directly messaged to DevStrike! @Submissions with “Battleship Devastation” in the subject line.

DevStrike Battleship Devastation Rules: STARTS: Friday, April 5, 2024 ENDS: Midnight Sunday, April 21, 2024 FINAL SUBMISSION DATE: All screenshot submissions are to be sent to @Submissions no later than Midnight Monday, April 22, 2024 NOTE: Only games played between the posted start and end dates that meet the requirements set forth below and are submitted before the final submission date qualify.

If your forum username is different, and you want your in-game username to remain private, DevStrike! can accommodate that, but we need to know what your in-game username is BEFOREHAND, or we won’t accept the submission. This is to avoid fraudulent submissions AND because DevStrike! needs to know your in-game username to send the prize if you win. All entries MUST contain screenshots of the following three (3) post-battle results screens, or they will be rejected (no exceptions) ... Personal Score (MUST show it was a Co-op game as well as the date you played it) Team Score (the standings). Detailed Report (shows what you did damage to). The screenshot requirement is very important and must be followed. Examples are shown above. You may submit as many entries as you wish, but... You may only win ONE prize. Once you submit your initial entry, only submit entries that have a HIGHER damage total moving forward. DO NOT post your entries or post any results in this thread... PM entries to @Submissions only. If you post any results (screenshots, written account of your damage total, etc.) in the forum thread, you will be disqualified from Battleship Devastation. No exceptions! ALL results will be kept private between the entrant and @Submissions until the contest ends and the winner is announced. We (DevStrike!) reserve the right to disqualify any entrant who abuses/breaks any of the contest rules. PRIZES (sponsored by @HogHammer) 1ST PLACE: 12,500 Doubloons.

Most Kills (if entrant A has 5 kills and entrant B has 4, entrant A wins). Potential Damage Taken (whichever entrant has the highest potential damage taken wins). Coin Flip (if kills and potential damage, do not break the tie. A coin flip will be used). In the event tiebreakers are needed, the player that loses the tiebreaker will win the next lowest prize... RESULTS & PRIZES: Results will be posted on Thursday, April 25 (approximately noon Central U.S. Time) Prizes will be sent as soon as DevStrike! has confirmed with the winners all the necessary information for prize delivery. DISCLAIMER: DevStrike! reserves the right to amend these rules to address unforeseen situations. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogHammer Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 I have received a couple of PMs regarding the above contest and will attempt to answer a couple here: Will this contest be done on other servers (regions)? Yes, that is our goal. I will add that the contest mode, in this case, Tier 6 co-op, will change depending on the overall success. For example, contests could include different Tiers and different classes of ships. Other battle modes, such as PvP and perhaps others, could also be included. Why can't you do one contest for everyone? We are totally removed from the capabilities that a certain gaming company can employ, so we have to work within our own limitations. Unfortunately, we cannot offer give-a-way codes or a variation of a King of the Seas tournament. Any contest or tournament we run now or in the future has to be on a regional basis. However, I believe we can offer a little more variety going forward - regardless of skill level, tiers one plays, or battle mode. Why not higher battleship tiers? That is certainly our plan going forward - and not just different tiers but also different classes of ships and battle modes of play. So, if you play DDs, Cruisers, Aircraft Carriers, and yes, even subs - basically nothing is off the table. We want to learn and gather a little experience from this first contetst. I do want to acknowledge @AdmiralThunder for the premise of this contest and some of the input he provided. As many of you know, he has done here and on the old NA forums a contest called "Co-op Carnage". Although we have discussed previously some sort of contest here at DevStrike!, it is nice to have an example and template to use going forward of an already established and successful contest. So, @AdmiralThunder, thanks again! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itwastuesday Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Pretty cool. I'll skip due to co-op requirement tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love_Ur_Cits Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I like this idea, as well as the proposed plans to mix up the tiers and classes of ships going forward for all players on different servers. I do wish I, being from the NA server, had considered the Co-op Carnage back when @AdmiralThunder did it. I just was not that much into co-op at the time. I will say getting a high amount of damage required in the contest rules scenario is not that easy. Just say the stars need to be in perfect alignment - plus you need to play very well. I'm looking forward to different variations on NA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not mean you play the SuperShip BB. Similar to how I used the word carnage in the name of my contest (Co-op Carnage). Devastate Verb (Devastation Noun) 1 - to bring to ruin or desolation by violent action 2 - to reduce to chaos, disorder, or helplessness (Overwhelm) Synonyms: destroy ravage ruin scourge Edited April 8 by AdmiralThunder 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueNautilus Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I started to give this a try and it's actually quite challenging... in Coop the bots just die way too fast and you're lucky if you get any damage above 50k... will keep on trying... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are so right. Your team needs the right mix of real players and bots to score a lot of damage. If it is all real players, it turns into a feeding fest and over before you know it.
