Interview (Continued)
my first few years of being on Wizards. Then, one boring ol' day, Mr. Morgrim Stormblood came on by and left me a PM asking to begin an interview process to become one of the first Tournament Officials. I was so happy, and I filled out all the proper information, and I just so happened to get Tournament Official in February of 2012. It was CelestialMoon (who is also a TM now! woo), Nikkynova, and myself as the first three tournament officials. We had a ton of fun, and there have been many TOs that have come and gone since then. Then, in late October of 2012, I was running around on test, Azteca was here! So, I'm questing, trying to speed quest on life (which does not work as a tip to everyone), and Zane comes up to me and tells me to check PvPC asap. I was confused, but I went over to PvPCentral to check it out, and I was shocked to see my name had changed from the colors of TO to a TM. I had a little mini heart attack, and then I checked Wizard101Central to make sure it was actually intended, and it was. As to if it was difficult or not.. I'd say no because I loved being TO everyday that I was, and it just felt as a honor to be selected as a Tournament Master, and I am thankful for this chance every day.
Q: What are your opinions on the current PvP system?
A: My opinions of the current PvP system is that it has its flaws and that it could be better. Matchups aren’t fair at all at this time, with level 90s facing mid-level wizards, and that some of the additions to PvP have made it harder to kill in the higher level battles, with May Cast Fairy, and access to more resist, and making heals stronger with Primodorial. Overall, I do believe PvP is okay, but it has room to improve to make it fairer to all levels.
Q: How would you fix it if you could?
A: I feel that I would make the pairups fairer, and I would make Sharpen Blade and Potent Trap no PvP. I would also introduce new arena gear to low levels with critical block, so they can actually have a chance if they were to get paired up versus an opponent with critical without having to always rely on conviction.
Thanks for the interview!
