Posted by Oghamsmith on the official forum 14 Dec 15
As recent skirmishes over flashpoints and bodies subside, competition in Nosgoth heats up once again with the return of Nosgoth Leagues!
The Spoils of War
Featuring a new $10,000 Prize pool, League Beta 4.0 retains the same prizing structure as years gone by. Whether you want to climb to the mightiest heights of the Eternal tier, or simply scramble as high as you can while having a good time with friends, we've got you covered.
This season’s in-game reward for reaching the Blood tier or above is a brand new ability for the Sentinel! We'll have more details for you about the ability as the season develops. When finally ready, the ability will be available in the store as always, but players Blood and above during League Beta 4.0 will receive an exclusive version of the ability that has its own unique visual FX.

Those aren't the only new changes that Beta 4.0 introduces. We’ll be testing two new League setups as well. First up, we’re testing theLeague Beta allowing 4 player teams. And secondly, we’re testing the League Beta running 24/7.

League Beta 5.0 is Live!
Posted by Oghamsmith on the official forum 1 Feb 16
Taking the best of League season testing to date and wrapping it up into one solid package, you won’t want to miss League beta 5.0!
What is a League Beta?
Want to see how your Nosgoth skills compare to the rest of the world? Like winning profile borders, keys, skins and maybe even cash prizes? Then Nosgoth Leagues are for you! Here, your skills will be put to the test as you face some of the stiffest competition to be found across the world of Nosgoth. Compare your prowess to the rest in the world via global rankings, or maybe just focus on beating your friends. That one friend who insists he could 1v1 you but never takes you up on your challenge? With Leagues, you can get a good idea of whether or not he’s blowing hot air.
During the League Beta, we are trialing different League configurations, to see which work the best, and which you guys like the most; before moving into the fully live Nosgoth Leagues Season 1 (as opposed to Nosgoth Leagues Beta).
League Beta 5.0:
Picking the best parts of Leagues Beta seasons to date, 5.0 pulls everything together into a pretty strong package. This season will utilise the following format:
24/7 League – There are no limitations to League play times, compete whenever you want!
4v4 – While 5v5 TDM was very warmly received, 4v4 is where the heart of competitive Nosgoth lays.
Max Party Size 2 – Grab a friend and jump onto the battlefield
1 Month Duration – Season 5.0 will last for approximately 1 month - Starting on February 1st and running until the 29th of February (inclusive)
Age – Not for little Humans: As Nosgoth is a mature game, participants must of course be at least 18 years of age to play and compete.
Terms and Conditions - You can check out the Terms & Conditions HERE, you must agree to these terms in-game in order to be eligible for prizing.
The Spoils of War
Featuring a new $10,000 prize pool for the season, League Beta 5.0 retains the same prize structure as years gone by. Whether you want to climb to the mightiest heights of the Eternal tier, or simply fight through the Leagues while having a good time with friends, we've got you covered. Cash prizing will be distributed in the following fashion:
This season’s Blood tier prize is an exclusive weapon for the forthcoming Beastmaster class. Going by the name "Hunter's Gold", most successful Beastmasters melt down the armour of vanquished enemies and use it to gild their weapons, showing off their prowess to others.

League Beta 6.0 steps forth from the darkness

Want to see how your Nosgoth skills compare to the rest of the world? Like winning profile borders, keys, in-game gear and maybe even cash prizes? Then Nosgoth Leagues are for you!

Compare your prowess to the rest in the world via global rankings, or maybe just focus on beating your friends. That one friend who insists he could 1v1 you but never takes you up on your challenge?

During the League Beta, we are trialing different League configurations to see which work the best, and which you guys like the most; before moving into the fully live Nosgoth Leagues Season 1 (as opposed to Nosgoth Leagues Beta).
League Beta 6.0:
As the Nosgoth League Beta series has progressed, we have experimented with a wide variety of League configurations. During the last few League betas, we have begun to hone in on the format that the majority of players seem to appreciate, which is great! One suggestion that we've seen from many League players is to increase the minimum level required to compete in Nosgoth Leagues. We've taken that feedback on board and have increased the mimimum level required to enter Leagues from level 10 to level 15. That approximately doubles the playtime required to unlock access to Nosgoth Leagues. With this change in place, we will be looking to see how it impacts the Leagues throughout a season.
This season will utilise the following format:
24/7 League – There are no limitations to League play times, compete whenever you want!
Minimum Level 15 - Players must be at least level 15 to access Nosgoth Leagues
4v4 – While 5v5 TDM was very warmly received, 4v4 is where the heart of competitive Nosgoth lays.
Max Party Size 2 – Grab a friend and jump onto the battlefield
1 Month Duration – Season 6.0 will last for approximately 1 month - Starting on March 1st and running until the 31st of March (inclusive)
Age – Not for little Humans: As Nosgoth is a mature game, participants must of course be at least 18 years of age to play and compete.

This season’s Blood tier prize is an exclusive Nosgoth Leagues variant of the base Tyrant's Armour skin. These most devoted of Tyrants have demonstrated their dedication to high skilled compeition by permanently marking themselves with a Nosgoth Leagues symbol on the right side of their chest. Should you make it into the Blood tier or above, you too will have irrefutable proof of your hard earned exploit.
