PUGs and Scrimms

(INF3RN0) #81

Why not just mix together a bunch of capable players including those on your team to try and get two evenly matched up groups then? Sure it won’t be training for your team’s tactics, but it will be more challenging and fun to play and watch- and more realistically helpful to discovering problems.

[QUOTE=.N.E.R.D.;452603]Ok, I am going to go a little more into detail since the last thread proved to be fruitless :wink:
What I want is a mixteam like (and please don’t be offended if your nick is not here) Samurai, wolle, outcider, potty, funky etc. that does scrims on their own and do their own tactics that we can play against and I am sure we would get our ass handed to us which is ok. So we would get to do tactics and play maps on real comp conditions which is not the case atm. I know the game is not in a final stage but a) that would be challenging and fun and b) this would also give good showmatches. Tell me what you think.[/QUOTE]

This is one of my biggest concerns right now about DB as a comp game, that we’ve not tested 5v5 enough and in real competition settings. I know there have been a lot of mixes and some scrims which is great, but from my own experience they are not pushing the boundaries of the game in the same way as will happen when people really start competing.

I do have a plan how to solve this though, one that might also help out with player number issues, but it requires a bit more planning before I get the go ahead and can reveal details, so it might be a little way away yet.

In the mean time the more organisation and tactical effort you folks can put into scrims and pick-ups the better :slight_smile:

For now the scrims are the best way to get some fun IMO, and we have to thanks Potty200 and Seanza for its organization.

Going just like this on the servers often turns out to be one map of fun and then people leave, or teams are never balanced, and I have the same experience that I had the last times I played ET:QW which is the feeling that everything is repetitive. I would start a map and after 30 sec of game I would have figured it would be the same as ever, so I eventually quit …

I find it incredible that games like LOL of Starcraft are capable of calling me back all the time, and I always enjoy playing again, even if I’m not really good at these game types. We need the element of addiction in DB, and this is the hardest to create

I think i have to be more exact. Not all stages in DB don’t work, CW 1st stage got a ABX feel to it, which i enjoyed. WT has a good first stage and decent 2nd/3rd.

W:ET maps are my reference, I meant like:
sw_goldrush_te (stealing the gold crate)
frostbite (stealing the documents)
radar (stealing west parts, when east is done)
adlernest (stealing the documents)
sp_delivery_te (deliver the gold crates)

ABX with dynamite or repairs:
bremen_b4 (blowing up maingate w/o having the flag; repairing the truck)
würzburg radar (blowing up main or side gate w/o having the flag)
braundorf_b4 (blowing up the controls)
siwa oasis (blowing up the anti tank guns)
supply depot (repairing the crane controls, escort the truck with gold)

At my point of view, the defence is always able to cut off the attacking team trying to get the objectives. Of course not all of them are played nowadays, but had a decent lifespan, tactics were perfected and countered.

I see, so rather than defenders spawn explicitly being between attackers spawn and objective it’s more a case of being able to intercept attackers before reaching objective rather than defenders only able to reach objective fractionally before attackers arrive.

(Fendah) #86

Yeah, i should have write it down better. My scheme was a bit oversimpliefied, i guess.

  1. If they train regularly, then it is not anymore a mix team - it’s a complete clan
  2. If this mix comes to life, they will exterminate Ducks and you will ragequit alpha :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

  1. Hehe, you will never ever see me ragequit. That’s just not my style :wink:
  2. I WANT this team to be better than us cause you can only improve agains better oppents and in my opinion it is always more fun if there is a challenge.

I can’t see a group of players like this together for a while. Woll3 is waiting for Bf4, Samurai has lack of motivation, MrFunk is a noob and I am busy casting and providing you all with games to play as much possible!!!

(potty200) #90

Played two games tonight. Started around half 9. First map Camden 4v4 - Please can I have that demo as I hit a really nice 4 man granade ACE with all 4 of them activating the controls and stopped it at 98%!!!

Second game London Bridge 5on5!

Good games once again :slight_smile:

(Mustang) #91

(potty200) #93

Couple of maps played tonight 5on5 from 19:30 till 21:30.

Demo would be nice on WhiteChapel THIRD ROUND as the server crashed. I was on FIRE!

Server randomly went to objective mode on Camden though :\
