emir 10 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 keep the suggestions and feedback coming guys, we'll listen as it stands, i think the most logical rule is to ban players who are able to steamroll games, to keep the games as stress-free as possible for newer players. all players are allowed to join the vet-level PUG anytime they want, but newbies are advised that they do so at risk of getting flamed, trolled, raged at, etc. if and when this happens, we're counting on you pubbers (there are very few who frequent these forums unfortunately ) to help spread the word!

jester 3 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 So I take it the AF Academy group is related to this? I like it and all, and I've already got several pubber friends who talked to me about it, but the main irritant is that the name sounds condescending. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LToro 2 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 Boot Comp? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ding 2 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 i like the Boot Competition idea. If its what i am thinking about. Its something like you organise a competition. A 6 v 6 one, for only new pubber teams. Team that are rather experienced shld be barred. It provides a good way of encouraging some people to start playing comp. (and they know they have a good shot at winning something this time.) And it encourages new teams to be formed too! Fantastic idea ltoro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Otuzi 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2011 are we going to implement to the same sign up forms like the masters event? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelousy 3 Report post Posted August 24, 2011 It will be different. Please keep in mind that we're independent from the management of the masters cup. I'll discuss with emir how it will be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emir 10 Report post Posted August 24, 2011 okay, Boot Comp sounds like a good name for such an event. anyone got any ideas for the low-level server? Or are we all fine with Asiafortress Academy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otuzi 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2011 man. i trust people too much. i tried to go to spec as fast as i can, but it seems like everyone left in 1 second. so im stuck as med captain. then this one guy comes into my team and says:' hey if you dun wanna med, i'll do it for you.' so i accepted, because every game of pug i play im a med captain and i usually fail badly, even getting kicked once. so of course i dun wanna go through that again.. then, suddenly everyone is raging abt how i spoil games and hope i get perm banned. come on guys.. its not my fault, i didnt know that..

Destroyerxen 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2011 Many times i played pug (8 actually) and i always see pubbers who want to play pug intimidated by big names like.. (some guys? :/) . and other pro players. my first game of pug' date=' i remember getting : 1.flamed about how noob i was, 2. waiting 3 games before i could play even though i +1-ed when everyone did. [but my seventh and eight games were enjoyable, kudos to people like herp and [b']xenon[/b] and catacylysmic who encouraged me even though i failed badly. i was thinking of the idea of a lower level pug, for pubbers to play yet not get dominated or flamed at by other pro-er people in real pugs. it will generally have the same rules as the normal pug, (same class limits and weapon bans). this could also be a start to introduce pubbers to the world of pug-ing. many-a-people dont play pug as they dont have the confidence, or scared they get flamed at by other users. So.. could this be a good idea? :soldier:Ötzi™ Not Rare You Sir Are Very Welcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
