Fanzone 6 Report post Posted January 10, 2014 Did you have fun in this week's Mix? YES. What did you think of the team balance? Good. What do you think of the rules and regulations set in place? It's good I guess. Did the Mix start at a reasonable time? No, because I was late, so I suppose I received a warning? Do you like the method of how maps are picked? Yes. Barnblitz pro was fun, so was you corn. How was the quality of the game? Good. Did you feel your team had sufficient comms, given that it's a Mix? Yes, I do.

Karma 3 Report post Posted January 10, 2014 1. Definitely. 2.The team balance was quite OK, but the other team had people who knew each other really well (Fanzone,Wacky), while another team had people who don't talk to each other alot. Even though they were still friends. 3. Really good. 4.Definitely, the time that was set was really good, as it was set after most people ate their dinner and what not. 5.Yes, I do, but why Yukon :`( 6.It was one of the best Highlander mixes I have ever been in, where everyone other one are mostly throw gaming, this one was a really fun one with people playing proper games. 7.Yes, and making Mumble mandatory was just so good. 8. I think many people have different opinions on this matter, but lots of people practice it ( e.g. me), I think you should be allowed 1 or at most 2 switches. But excessive switching is quite stupid in my opinion. 9.I have no idea. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cloverella 50 Report post Posted January 10, 2014 Did you have fun in this week's Mix? What did you think of the team balance? What do you think of the rules and regulations set in place?

Do you think players should be able to swap classes within teams? What suggestions do you have to improve the Highlander Mixes? 1. Yes definitely aha!! 2. I think the teams were balanced well, there were no definite champions of the mix just from looking at the teams on paper. 3. I believe the rules and regulations were suitable for a mix like this but as for the reinforcement of the punishments that were set on the forum thread, they were meted out as strictly as I thought it would have been. Granted being the first mix haha. 4. Yes I suppose that 8pm GMT+8 would be an optimal time I guess. 5. Yes the method of how the maps were picked were fine, especially since it caters to the majority. However, I believe a better polling system should be implemented so as to ensure the 18 people who signed up for the mix were the only 18 people who are allowed to vote in the poll. 6. The game was good! 7. Definitely, in fact I think both teams had a bit too much comms, the mumble was a bit of a mess as everyone was calling random things. But for a mix I suppose that would be expected. 8. I don't think players should be restricted to the class they signed up for if the other teammate that wants to switch is willing to. 9. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arjun 6 Report post Posted January 10, 2014 Did you have fun in this week's Mix? HOLY SHIT YES What did you think of the team balance? very well balanced, except I burden for team everytime What do you think of the rules and regulations set in place? Should always be as strict as this, but lenient enough to listen to players (2fort) Did the Mix start at a reasonable time? Yep Do you like the method of how maps are picked? We got 2fort...YES How was the quality of the game? Barnblitz and Yukon were really close, 2fort was hella fun, overall good stuff Did you feel your team had sufficient comms, given that it's a Mix? Messy as a pita, but better than nothing Do you think players should be able to swap classes within teams? Yep, some ppl dont have form on certain classes What suggestions do you have to improve the Highlander Mixes? Wider map pool, stuff like yukon should be implemented more, and unban my poor baby face blaster already u meanie heads 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aloy99 4 Report post Posted January 18, 2014 Today's was pretty good A few were late tho, but mostly the teams were quite balanced and it was a fairly close fight for both maps 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fanzone 6 Report post Posted January 18, 2014 Did you have fun in this week's Mix? YES. What did you think of the team balance? I don't like how people just sign up and not show up and then distrupts the team balance, other than that, it was alright. How do you feel about the new Team Leader concept? Good. Do you think your Team Leader did a good job? I don't know, it's for my team to decide since I was the leader. Do you feel that the rules are too long and/or complicated and should be shortened/simplified? It's just fine. Did the Mix start on time, or did you feel it was late? Reasonable. What do you think of the maps available for Map 2 this week? Play more hipster maps please. Was the game of a high-quality? No shit. Were the comms sufficient, given it's a Mix? Yes. How do you feel about the changes regarding allowing players to switch classes? Refer to my comment last week. Do you think players should be able to withdraw from the Mix without needing a substitute? No, they should source their own substitute. What suggestions do you have to improve the Highlander Mixes? Impose a more strict rule towards no-shows. Who's this week's MVP? QJ. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qjyap 29 Report post Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Did you have fun in this week's Mix? somewhat What did you think of the team balance? not ideal, but unavoidable How do you feel about the new Team Leader concept? pretty useless, no difference from past mixes Do you think your Team Leader did a good job? normal Do you feel that the rules are too long and/or complicated and should be shortened/simplified? yes Did the Mix start on time, or did you feel it was late? pretty early that was good What do you think of the maps available for Map 2 this week? good Was the game of a high-quality? not in the slightest hahahaha Were the comms sufficient, given it's a Mix? cluttered but once again unavoidable alot of people are new to highlander How do you feel about the changes regarding allowing players to switch classes? ban Do you think players should be able to withdraw from the Mix without needing a substitute? no What suggestions do you have to improve the Highlander Mixes? as fanzone said, stricter rules please Who's this week's MVP? nova did decent, improved alot from the last time i saw him. from own team cyra was good shoutout to the ri engieboy stout shako who gunslingered a level 3 down by himself another to my team's medic keep playing with the right attitude and you'll get better. don't be afraid to shout at your team when they're playing stupid aggressive and overextending i.e. myself Edited January 18, 2014 by qjyap 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Visamper 4 Report post Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Did you have fun in this week's Mix? Definitely What did you think of the team balance? Felt the team's were pretty balanced How do you feel about the new Team Leader concept? Didn't feel like it made a huge difference Do you think your Team Leader did a good job? Like a normal player Do you feel that the rules are too long and/or complicated and should be shortened/simplified? Most of it was common sense so pretty easy to follow Did the Mix start on time, or did you feel it was late? A couple of people were late but it ended at the right time What do you think of the maps available for Map 2 this week? Didn't play previous weeks so I can't really judge Was the game of a high-quality? High-quality? I don't think so. Medium-quality? Yes Were the comms sufficient, given it's a Mix? Yep How do you feel about the changes regarding allowing players to switch classes? I don't see why people shouldn't switch classes if both players agree to. Do you think players should be able to withdraw from the Mix without needing a substitute? No, everyone should sub. What suggestions do you have to improve the Highlander Mixes? The teams were a bit confusing at first, I wasn't aware that we had to go back to the forums to look at our teams. Maybe write it down in the rules for the newer players (like me) to see? And as said before, stricter rules for no-shows. Who's this week's MVP? Hmm.. hard to decide. I'd say QJ Hope these mixes continue all year long.

nova 3 Report post Posted January 18, 2014 Did you have fun in this week's Mix? 50/50 on this What did you think of the team balance? Red was pretty stacked, should have scrambled after 1st map How do you feel about the new Team Leader concept? Minimal to no impact on the game. Comms were just one big clusterf*ck Do you think your Team Leader did a good job? n/a Do you feel that the rules are too long and/or complicated and should be shortened/simplified? I feel the rules are good as they are Did the Mix start on time, or did you feel it was late? started late What do you think of the maps available for Map 2 this week? KOTH was just a dm fest. Snake was okay Was the game of a high-quality? No Were the comms sufficient, given it's a Mix? Too much unnecessary information was being communicated How do you feel about the changes regarding allowing players to switch classes? uhh idk what's this about Do you think players should be able to withdraw from the Mix without needing a substitute? Should never happen What suggestions do you have to improve the Highlander Mixes? Have people actually know how to play HL before they can sign up? If not then the mix becomes no different from a pub, which I feel defeats the whole purpose of it. I really felt like there was communication(though most of it redundant) but no one was really working together Who's this week's MVP? QJYAPPY Sorry if i'm being overly critical. Just trying to provide constructive and honest feedback. Maybe that or I just set my expectations too high. Either way, good effort keep it up! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vig 5 Report post Posted January 25, 2014 Can we give the mix one last chance for this CNY as more people will be available to play since it is the holidays. If the mix doesn't go through even on a holiday, then we know for sure that the mixes are not going to do well on normal days D: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
