Yeah this really helps. Much better then impromptus.
Regular Event - 6v6 Testing
- Thread starter Ravidge
- Start date
Big thanks to Selentic who took over the hosting of the events this evening. Also I'm really grateful for all the people who has come and played with us so far.
So after 3 days of pugging, I'm ready to hear suggestions to how to plan these things out better. If this is to become a regular event it needs some structure.
Both people who have participated and mappers who haven't should take this chance to help me make this event better.
Right now I'm relying on people suggesting maps to me directly, but the interest is very low. I'm not sure I want to make a sign-up system either, because the whole point here is participation.. I want people to step up and grab this chance!

Nothing? Then I'll keep going as I've done so far then.
Keep suggesting maps, we need all we can get. I've been running random maps a lot lately since there's such few actual tests requested!
Also, the pugs have been filling up quicker and quicker (mostly). This is very good news and I want to thank everyone that keeps joining in for one lobby after another

Needs to be a bit of team scrambling going on. We played one on cloudburst last night which was horrifically unbalanced team wise, and our team basically spent the entire match spawn camping. http://www.tf2lobby.com/stats/lobby?id=45985
I wasn't there for that match. but I guess the best thing to do would be to call a restart vote. Have everyone select random teams, or captains and go again?
I don't think spawncamping is very fun for either side. winning or losing, it's still an incredibly dull way to play the game. So I'm sure the vote would pass

I don't mean it in a literal sense, I mean switch a few players around if one team is obviously superior to the other and nobody's having much fun.
I can't find the time anymore to do these. Not as often as I would like anyway.
The little spare time I have I really need to focus on finishing my contest map since the deadline is approaching fast.
I'll still open lobbies for anyone who asks, The only thing that changes is that I can't be there and play!

Oh I don't know because NOBODY CAN SET UP A PUG WITHOUT RCON!
Why not just grant more people access to the server, so they can set up their own pugs? Ever since I put out the beta for my map, no matter how hard I try, I can't find people to set up the lobby for me - why can't I just do it myself? It's frustrating.
And no offense but I'd much rather do a 6v6 that's not all-inclusive to TF2maps members (why I avoid these scheduled games). Isn't the whole point to get seasoned 6v6 players playing the map?
Does anyone have ties with some CEVO members?
IT might have been a good idea to get them to sign up before the contest started...

I guess it's because throwing around rcon like a free cookie would be devastating for the servers. Until there's a way to create lobbies without it, the only thing to do is ask for someone to set it up. I've opened lobbies for everyone that has asked, I'm only online so many hour a day, but there are other mods around surely?
But yes, I agree. It's unfortunate that you have to go through a middleman to start a lobby.
And the short answer to your other question: No, the point of these pugs were to let mappers get a feel for competitive gameplay and test their maps in a proper environment.
From the Contest thread: "Comp teams doesn't have to mean pro teams, anyone can play competitively".
Updated the first post with new info. I'm actually quite busy with school atm so don't expect too much. Having people stand-in for me, pressing the start button in the lobby would be lovely on the days where I can't participate.
You are all invited to idle in the IRC so I can start these things reliably. If you use a client like mIRC, set it to highlight lobby links, so it will alert you with a little beep when somethings happening!

I think Shmitz put it best.
