Ultimate Parkour Challenge! - Aug 1 & 2
« on: 30 Jul 2014, 21:25:43 »
What's more fun than watching a bunch of noobs fall from the sky?  Competing in a competition that has noobs falling from the sky for awesome prizes!  This weekend we're having the grand opening of Duelcon and DACK Enterprises' Ultimate Parkour Challenge!  There will be death, There will be Prizes!  But most of all, there will be fun!  Even if you aren't a parkour master, everyone who completes the challenge within the time limit will receive a prize! 

As with any event, we need to set some basic rules:

1) Listen and respect all Staff!  That means be in /ch L once at the event and follow the instructions and direction of the staff members.
2) Do not harass, bully, interfere, or obstruct other competitors while they are attempting the course.  We understand you may need to stop to figure out a jump, but please be mindful and respectful of the other players attempting the course with you.
3) The use of VIP / Veteran commands, ender pearls, or other various forms of teleportation will be considered cheating and may have you disqualified from competing.  Please verify with staff before using anything other than your basic jump and shift. 
4) We strongly advise you to NOT bring anything with you to this competition.  You can and likely will die.  The staff will accept no responsibility or liability for lost items or XP at this competition.  You participate at your own risk!

All staff members reserve the right to modify, change, alter, and issue rules contrary to this post at the event.  Be sure to listen in /ch L for instructions from the Staff.

And now, for the Prizes!

Complete the stages:

8:00 Perfect Score -     1,000,000 Nbz.
08:01 - 10:00        -                 64 Diamond Blocks
10:01 - 20:00        -                 10 Diamond Blocks
20:01 - 30:00        -                   1 Diamond Block
30:01 - 45:00        -             5000 nbz.


Stage 1 Only          -            5000 nbz
Stage 2                  -          10000 nbz
Stage 3                  -                16 diamonds
Stage 4                  -                  5 Diamond Blocks



I would like to wish everyone good luck!  As a heads up, we had 2 of our beta testers rage quit the course!  Be prepared for frustration! VIP and Veteran players may explore the course for 'early access' by using their /j ability before the competition. Course is now open to everyone for access via stairs and ladders. It is located in Dracomere above the dark room mob grinding area.

If you have any questions, please post them below and I will be happy to answer them when I have time.


All jumps have been tested by staff and players.  Course CAN be completed.

No one was able to complete the challenge on Aug 1.

Next time.  Aug 2:

12pm  CST
6pm    BST

If you fall or die do you restart the course right away or do you wait for everyone to restart again like in the V5 parkour.

There are 3 'stages' that you will go through.  Each has it's own checkpoint at the start you will have to go back to if you fall.

(As a VIP / Veteran member you can go 'early access' test the course using your /j)

also you can jump to it using a jump 2 pot (a more tedious solution since they're near impossible to find and buy not to mention they're a pain to brew) and jump onto the mob room door and access it that way(bad idea. dont do it, too difficult to acomplish) also are jumping pots banned in this competition as well as bunny juice?

most likely yes. Anything that would give you an advantage over other players. Plus I believe you have a beacon in the area, that could help with jump boost.

Speed and jump enhancing effects and armor will not be allowed during the competition.  Beacons have been tailored to suit speed / jump effects and anyone caught using those types of potions will be disqualified.  (Aside from that, no one will be tp'd to the starting area if they do not have an empty inventory :) )

Times will be extremely flexible over the course of this weekend.  I will host the event multiple times with no set schedule so just be online off and on throughout the day and you're likely to get a shot at it.

Tips to survive and succeed on the Ultimate Parkour Challenge!

1) Holding Shift will allow you to stick to ladders.  It will keep you from falling off most blocks.

2) Sprinting and jumping at the same time will increase the air time and distance you travel!

3) Try setting your sprint hot key to a key you can easily press along with run!

4) Be observant!  On this course, there are short cuts.  Clever use of jumps, sprints, and shifts will allow you to complete the course quicker.

5) If you fall, don't give up!  There are checkpoints all over the map that will enable you to get back on the map.  They are usually near the beginning of a stage or section.

6) If all else fails, slow down, take your time and plan your jump.  It's better to take a few extra seconds to plan your next jump than to fall and add a minute to your time.

7) Ask for tips from others!  Many players will be willing to give you hints and tips on how to pass certain sections!

8) Most Importantly:  Have fun!  If you find yourself becoming angry, take a break and try again later!  Frustration only leads to sloppy jumps and even more rage.  Take a few moments to calm down and approach a section again when you've cleared your mind.
