HaXxorIzed 17 Report post Posted March 20, 2013 Remember to laugh, laughing is important. Even if you are playing with quality pickup players like Spammah, you can either laugh, rage or cry into your pillow. Laughing is a lot more fun for everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shounic 143 Report post Posted March 21, 2013 I'd say 'Mumble or ban' Mumble can also lighten the mood in PUGs and make everything less serious and more fun, which can be a good thing so new players will learn that it's not all srs bsns Honestly this is probably the only way. There isn't a good substitute for mumble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob 64 Report post Posted March 22, 2013 Honestly this is probably the only way. There isn't a good substitute for mumble. don't think you should force mumble. there are ppl who wouldnt speak even if they are forced into it anw.. i'm more towards encouraging any form of comms - typing, in game mic, mumble (if everyone agrees to speak) I think new players tend not to speak cause either 1)they're shy, 2) they sound like a girl when they're actually guys then they're scared that ppl will make fun of them, 3) they dont know what to call out or 4) all of the above.If they're in mumble, they still wouldn't say anything so it's pointless. I agree with teal. Any form of comms is better than no comms at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joe 76 Report post Posted March 22, 2013 Just sitting in mumble listening to your team players communicate is better than not being in mumble at all. You might be a scout or a roamer but listening to when your team is pushing can make a lot of difference. It's not "pointless" if they are in mumble but they don't talk. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spammah 103 Report post Posted March 22, 2013 If they wanna perv out on female/male voices whatever, let them do so. So, would enforcing mumble but optional speaking work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Madman 185 Report post Posted March 25, 2013 How are you going to enforce the rule of mumble, and what are the penalties for that? Any kind of kick or sit-out seems ridiculously harsh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joe 76 Report post Posted March 25, 2013 I'd suggest sitting out if you aren't in Mumble. Then again, Mumble might cause some some issues as half a team might be in one mumble channel while the other half are in the common lounge. Hmmm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teal 156 Report post Posted March 27, 2013 Another thing I've noticed - calling for subs in less than 5 mins into the pug. If u can't play, just sit out and give others a chance to roll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddybar. 54 Report post Posted March 27, 2013 Eliminating the 'skip' function when picking would be nice. Some people abuse that function and it not only slows down the picking process, but also makes the person waiting to be picked (very often newbies) feel bad.

I agree with teal. Any form of comms is better than no comms at all However, if they don't ever join, then they'll never overcome their shyness and they will never learn what to call out. Just sitting in Mumble and listening to others call out will 1) Help you learn how and when to call out 2) Tell you the positions of the enemy players Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woohwaah 1 Report post Posted March 28, 2013 I feel compulsory mumble is a good step to go in. Currently there is not very much voice comms going on in the pugs and it makes learning as a new player such as myself harder. It also encourages more teamplay rather than a DM fest that it seems to be now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spammah 103 Report post Posted March 30, 2013 So a few updates: 1. There is now a 'welcome' message box with some additional text information about mumble in the asiafortress servers. 2. The asiafortress servers are now integrated with sizzlingstats so players can view their stats in real time or after the game by typing .ss in public chat. Example of an asiafortress pug with ss stats - http://sizzlingstats.com/stats/4369 3. All old and new players are encouraged to come to the Asiafortress lounge channel in mumble to use when pugging or fuck around or create separate sub channels - whatever you prefer. 4. There is another cool server plugin being written, more info will be revealed when it's done. 5. A new website is in the works. I can't say much more other than the fact that you'll see it when it's done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
