Review [Issue 68] Events Study - Kill the King Explained

[Vivianne 442]

 

Hello 'Events Study' readers! I have been thinking of what Community Event I should review next for a while. I came up with an idea and then shortly later, a friend of mine confirmed the idea when he requested for it. It's not as popular as the previous two, maybe because people don't know how it works and what exactly the purpose of it is. Therefore it was a perfect opportunity for me to write about it and explain it as much as I can.

 

Behold; your king!

 

Lets start reviewing Kill The King!

​Introduction

 

​In this case, the name speaks for itself, but who exactly is "The King" and what's the point of killing him? Well, the King is an Event Helper that is using Wasp/Isida and of course, the Neon paint. He's being protected by his royal guards​ other Event Helpers that are wearing heavy armors​ using heavy equipment (Titan/Mammoth).

 

​Your job is to defeat the defenders and kill the King. Sounds easy, doesn't it? Nope. The King is always hiding in his castle behind different obstacles on a field where a moat of alligators lot of mines have been placed. Killing him wouldn't be a piece of cake.

 

 

 

 

Preparation

 

​It's not the preparation that takes a lot of time and hard work, it's trying to defend the King and keeping him alive for as long as they can. Event Helpers start with finding a right place for the King, then they place a ton of mines all around him. After the "scene" is prepared, they get to their positions and get ready to start killing anyone who tries to come near the King.

 

I got permission to join the preparation so I would be able to take a few pictures.

 

​

 

On the right side we can see the King and on the left side there's one of his defender getting his field of mines ready.

 

 

 

​

On this specific map, there were three "entries" to get to the King.

​

 

 

 

 

​Rules

 

​This Community Event is also known for allowing to kill Event Helpers because duh that's the purpose of it. Therefore, the rule for not being allowed to kill Event Helpers falls out.

• You can only equip Dictator among hulls and either Hammer or Vulcan among turrets.
• You're not allowed to kill nor shoot at any other participant of the Event.
• Killing/Shooting and trying to get to the King before the organizer says "GO!" is prohibited. The violator will be punished with a kick from the Event.

 

 

 

​Parameters and Ranks

 

Tankers between Warrant Officer 1 and Legend have a chance to participate in the event. 

 

​Parameters:

• Game Mode: DM - Parkour
• Max players: Maximum (Around 20-24)
• Time limit: 60m
• Destroy limit: -
• Private battle: ON
• Bonus boxes: OFF

​

 

Prizes

 

​​The prize for killing the King used to be only five thousand crystals, but because a lot of effort was put into trying to kill him, the Administration decided to raise the prize. ​Now, the prize for killing him is ten thousand crystals.

 

 

 

 

​Advisories

 

Sadly, when I joined the event, it was taking place in the Silence map. Therefore I couldn't really see that many ways to pass the mines and get to the King, at least not many different ones.

 

But putting that aside, I still decided to note down some other points that weren't seen in the event.

 

1) The Camper:

It's not new to camp in any map, event or game that's possible. You might as well try to camp in this event too. The King is not allowed to heal (use the Repair Kit), if you're able to get a good position and not get stopped by his defenders, you can kill him easily.

 

​2) Work in Teams:

​It's always easier to work in a team - and this time, it's not much different. Get a friend/participant, or whoever you want to help you kill the King. It will be easier if you both shoot at him at the same time.

 

 

​3) The Miner:

The easier way to kill the King would probably be to mine him, but what makes it hard is getting to the King. If you get close enough you can either jump on/over him and place mines, he will get destroyed straight away.

​And that was the end of the third article of the "Events Study" series. Since this event was requested by a reader and I enjoyed writing it a lot, I would like to ask you for suggestions on what event I should do next.

 

​Until then, bye!

Nicely explained and laid out Nyx, great work :)

[Crip 4,735]

Yes!!! For once someone listened to a suggestion that I had made.

 

Good stuff. Given me a good idea of what happens. To be honest, it's quite like a more-violent STG.

 

Keep it up!
