Registration is open for the PC March T3 Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Tournament
With the official trailer to Assassin’s Creed 3 sitting just one day away from release or maybe even less from when this goes to publication, what better time is there to make that AC:R PC Tournament that so many have requested? The correct answer is no better time at all because I’m sure none of you will be rushing to learn more about a game that’s expensive, riddled with bugs and lacklustre at single player, if AC:R is anything to go on.Not that I’m bitter about rushing to buy ACR as soon it was available or anything.
Sorry, seem to have lost my train of thought for a second there.
Ah yes, the PC tournament for AC:R which people have been pestering WiNG about. Well it’s just lucky for you all that I was the (un)lucky T3 writer to be the only person who bought it on the PC so let’s get to the rules and shit.
Tournament format and schedule
- The tournament will consist of twelve (12) qualifying brackets and one (1) finals bracket.
- Players in the qualifying brackets will play one round of Wanted.
- Player scores will be recorded between all matches. All but the one (1) best-scoring player from each bracket will be dropped, leaving twelve (12). The five (5) lowest-scoring players of these players will be dropped, and seven (7) players will advance to the finals bracket.
- In the event of a qualifying round tie, a tie-breaker round of Simple Deathmatch may be played.
- Finalists will play one round each of Wanted, Deathmatch, and Steal the Artifact.
Below are the times each qualifying bracket will be held. Participants must be available for one or more brackets in order to sign up. All times are Greenwich Mean Time (GMT +0).

Prizes
Prizes are currently TBD, but for the time being, so just assume they are amazing. But if you’re in this for the prizes and not the glory of public victory, you’re probably not going to go far anyway!
Alright, sign me up for Brackets A-D. abompro for Steam and Uplay. As a Deathmatch junkie, I suppose I should practice a little of Wanted.
I can play brackets G and H
GT: OZZIEWANNAROCK
I dont have steam, is it important for me to have it to enter?
Yes. Don’t worry, it’s a free program and I’ll primarily be using it to check if you’re online.

Binerexis, When will the list of people as well as times be posted? (this so we can see if we got in)
Everyone will be e-mailed over the weekend.
;_; Unfortunately I can’t participate due to the times, but I probably wouldn’t have done that well anyway because I haven’t that much practice with Wanted.
I can play brackets A-D and I-L.My GT is DiDiDoxx,but I don`t have steam so is it nesesary to have Steam to play the brackets?
Yes. Don’t worry, it’s a free program and I’ll primarily be using it to check if you’re online.
It’s also a very small file.

Consider this your reward for having a Maes Hughes avatar.
I would love to participate, but you should really consider that a lot of colleges and universities in America have their spring break the week after this is scheduled.. that would be better for me, idk if any one else feels that way.
Hey Bin, since the chat function on PC kinda sucks, will we be using any other freeware to talk to one another while gaming? That would be cool.

@all
add the steam ID or your profile number not your nickname
because there would be hundreds of duplicate nicknames but the IDs are unique.
Or just skip that and give your actual username as it’s TONS faster.

I just hope you guys play for fun and don’t make it an Offensive Smoke shit festival.. see ya
BTW! Some people could still have the 1.02 patch thus having an unfair advantage over the ones who have 1.03. They can still stun the pursuer after being poisoned and the smoke bomb works differently. In my opinion everyone should be demanded to install 1.03 to enter the tournament!
Wait, can those on 1.02 actually play with those with 1.03? Is there an easy way to tell when going up against players with differing versions?
Hopefully this won’t be terrifically likely.

btw why do we play wanted? its so bad in acr imo, deathmatch would be better but guess ill have to train a bit. btw dont put me with Tiberius, i always do bad playing with him :) :D other than that see ya in the animus, bring it on!
Honestly, I couldn’t decide between Deathmatch and Wanted (I’m pretty bad at AC:R Multiplayer so I didn’t want to give free points away in Assassinate) so I just went for Wanted. It’s always seemed ok to me in AC:R but oh well.

It is really likely that some players will have the 1.02 patch because the autopatching doesnt work due to ubisoft’s mistake in naming the patches… So people who dont know how to work around that problem wont have the 1.03 patch.
A way to work around this problem is to reinstall the game and the problem should be fixed. A simple way for a player to know if he himself has or doesnt have the 1.03 patch is to listen to the sound of a smoke bomb. In 1.03 it has the same sound as a trip wire bomb has.
So in other words, unless someone has it on Steam so that it auto updates, there’s no way of telling if someone has 1.02 or 1.03 and those with 1.02 may have an unfair advantage?
HeJurm theres also a 1.03 number in the single player menu at the bottom left corner of the screen lol
Even if you failed to install 1.03 patch (kinda like half installed), like most ppl had, you’ll still get that 1.03 number in SP menu. HeJurm is right, if your smoke sounds like trip wire mine, you have a real and working 1.03.
@Binerexis Btw, I hope we’ll have a chat room with all the players in steam, in case ppl wouldn’t be able to connect to the match or would lag like hell. We should test it first. You don’t need me to tell you that ACR is super glitchy. It’s Ubi, you know, nothing is true, everything is glitchy.
Why do you think I’m wanting people’s Steam username? And awwww, you make it sound like Ubisoft is the only studio to release glitchy content.
@Binerexis Thanks =). They’re not the only one, but they’re one of the glitchiest companies so far xD If that sounded right… =)
So is it even possible do participate from across the ocean or is it a US-only kinda thing. Coz I doubt the netcode would allow me to participate :(
Bloody hell, I hope not. I’m not in the US and I’m hosting the thing.

Forgot to add, how does one work around the patch 1.03 not installing?
Man, I was practicing Assassinate after the last TTT tournament cause that’s what the qualifiers were. Time to start on Wanted now I guess haha.
I can do any of them from A-L
Steam username “Combine (PUTC)”
Ubisoft username “StalkerOfSkies”
I messed up on my Ubisoft username, its “StalkerOfTheSky”
By the way, what map are we playing on?
Ubisoft username “s3dna”
steam “sedna5203”
Bracket “I,J,K,L”
All the best!!! :D
For a solution to updating to 1.03 go here: http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/660748-PATCH-1-03-for-PC-released/page6?s=668d4086a22836e40f185744188c67aa . Go to 6th page and scroll all the way down to the last post and there’s a link. download, run/install it and the autopatch will work as it should.

Will you add everyone on Steam? And have you send out requests? Because I fear I might have turned it down last night along with 6 other requests.. xD
In the process of sending out requests, no I didn’t send you a request yet.
Hopefully we get invited to the group via Steam. Also, can we please drop Steal the Artifact and put in Corruption? It’s not that I am bad at StA, but it is by far the most luck based mode, whereas Corruption is not.
I’m currently in the process of trying to invite everyone as a friend, tagging them as ‘ACR’ and then speedily setting up a Steam group just to make things a shit load easier. It’s the reason why I’m wanting Steam usernames so I can just go crazy and add everyone so I can get hold of you or you guys can get hold of me on the off-chance everything gets ballsed up.
Shit, forgot to mention, the reason why the game modes are what they are is due to the following reasons:
1. They’re the game modes used for WiNG’s tourny (almost) and I’m using that as a template to see how things go.
2. I’m going to be so much worse than everyone else that I don’t want to be feeding people points with how bad I am. The competition is about which one of you is the best at AC:R, not which one of you is the best at killing a noob to farm points.
Who are you to say which mode takes most skill and which doesnt?

Can anyone tell me what time the session would start at Central Standard Time, if it’s going to be 7:00 PM GMT? I’m a little fuzzy on time outside of the US. Thanks.
Central Standard Time (CST) is the same as GMT – 6 but as far as I know on Sunday 11 March 2012 2am local time you switch to Central Daylight Time (CDT) which is GMT – 5. So if I’m good in mathematics (and I think I am) 7:00 pm GMT is 2 pm GMT-5.
Ergo: for you the brackets A, E, I start at
2 pm.
(unless in your state Daylight Saving Time is not observed)
Please someone correct me if I’m wrong.

@WindRaider: Thanks man. I’ll be practicing, so I’ll definitely be online for that if Binerexis invites everyone via Steam. Oh, and I’ve got version 1.03, so that’s good.
My bad, I miscalculated the time. I’m actually only good for brackets I-L.

how to create a uplay and a stream
UPlay – you had to create an account to play ACR. It’s just your nickname in the game.
Steam – you go here:
https://steamcommunity.com/
You download steam (top right corner of the site), you run it, install and register (you can also register on http://www.steamcommunity.com if you like).
[…] for more Assassin’s Creed Revelations? Check out Binerexis’ March PC tournament or read additional ACR […]
Hmm I just received an email claiming that I was chosen to participate but I can’t seem to find my name in any of the brackets :S
Throw me an email at Binerexis -at- toptiertactics -dot- com and we’ll see if we can fix this.
I also had this problem :<
For which country is that time?
London, England.. Correct me if Im wrong… :)
You are, in fact, correct
Greenwich, England.
Per definition.
What? You gotta be exact!
My steam is dididoxx ;).See yaa guys.
seems like there’s two guys in bracket b that cant show up today, huki and bornahlousek. maybe Frankman and MCgreasypig can replace them?

Well, I think that if you’re wandering what is Binerexis’s Uplay name the first one you should try to find is… Binerexis! You can find him through Friend Finder.
Btw chill out guy, you’re playing tomorrow and at least some of the guys who are playing today still haven’t been invited.

Sorry dude, registration finished on Saturday. First brackets are playing today.
benerexis and me lost connection after ~2minutes in the game…so how are we going to handle that? i don’t know where else to go with this problem… =(
If you had actually added me on Steam, you could have told me what the problem was and we could have restarted the match. As you didn’t add me on Steam, we had no way to communicate.
Luckily for you, the tournament is cancelled until further notice.
i’m pretty sure you made a comment above stating that you want to add everybody, i’ve been waiting for that. what would be the point of having to post my steam name in the first place, if i’m the one who has to add you. i’m just saying, no hard feelings.
I sent you more than one friend request on Steam and you never accepted it. You also didn’t accept the request to join the group.
WE MUST USE XFIRE FOR CHAT,IT’S BEST AWY TO COMMUNICATE!
Guys, use xfire to communicate will be easier than use steam, in a free soft and very usefull during all games, and if you got a problem, you can say it !
It’s more likely that people already have Steam rather than XFire. There is also the problem that I used XFire long ago, didn’t like and don’t want to have it wasting space on my machine.
steam would be fine, works great for communicating ingame.
gonna post it here too, posted it in the bracket thread already.
Most people who play ACR use Xfire for communication in-game so we could communicate because the voice chat in ACR is really bad. It’s impossible to know whats going on without having some kind of chat/communication system.
yeah and i’ve never seen you to ask to add you in steam. I tought you were gonna add us, because you asked for our steam accounts names. Been checking steam constantly for the last couple of days for an invite…
Reschedule our brackets and maybe we sould use xfire since it works much better than steam–
The majority of participants already have Steam. There’s no point in asking them to also get XFire. As I said above, I won’t be getting XFire because Steam is already more than sufficient.
Yet still if we are to use Steam then you must be the one to invite others cause those who have created a Steam account for the purpose of this tourney can’t invite anyone (you can’t invite anybody unless you have a game on Steam).
Download TF2 or any other free to play game and BAM! Instant full account.
If you say this will work… Well, I’ll try that. Now I’m not so sure but I think the info on Steam said you have to buy a game. Anyway, we’ll see.
I have had steam for a long time now and have many games on it but i still never got your invite :(
edit:
in my case the same thing as in Crovens – no invites received for some reason.
Ye, just, why don’t speak with it ? or create chat room, don’t know … It’s not easier ?
just a note steam + xfire = crash
some of us use the steam version of the game
steam is easy i don’t know whats your problem with it
I’m not saying Steam is not easy. I’m saying that Binerexis sends an invitation and we don’t get any.
you must download any free game i think there are some very small games like ‘ realm of the mad god’ or something
