Future of this Leauge

  • Hey - turns out IRC is out and something a little more modern has taken it's place... A little thing called Discord!

    Join our community @ https://discord.gg/JuaSzXBZrk for a pick-up game, or just to rekindle with fellow community members.

Torp got apoint here!


IM gonna go further. My idea would be to scrap our leaue system completly and implement a cup system.
Spring / Fall cup. Sure, we can have a ladder in between but it aint gonna be acitve cause people play
pug (its the same on cb).

positive with a cup system is we "might" attract new people. Biggest positive is people gonna switch
around and make new teams all the time, Which is a great oppportunity to recruit new people. Many of
our players is actually playing on cb nowadays. Hopefully they will recruit some new players along....
Many of our uta players have turned to nw ctf (what says we cant turn this around). Ive talked around
on cb for years and heard alot of interest in assault (mostly for insta in the past but now i have alot
of nw prospects). Im posiitive we could get a shit load of peeps for an assault cup
thats my thoughts about it.
s for a cup

/Edut: I would try to do as much i can toi promote it. Maybe do some promotion in my cuplogos on cb and generally talk about it.

Try looking at the Monsterhunt server. It is always full of players.
Not the same mod, but they have loads of maps to choose from. It makes the game exiting and never boring.

To be honest I stopped playing AS because it got tired playing the same maps day after day.
You have to spend loads of time to know each map to become a good league player. And some don't have that time.
By having lots of maps you give others (newbies) a chance to win now and then. And it is more exiting with unknown maps.
If you were a newbie (or fairly) you would become tired of getting sniped all the time on Ballistic even before you reached Main gate.
There are too many 'map specialists' in the league you can't beat.
And when you can't beat them, or at least have a chance to beat them, you find other mods or games where you also are the winner sometimes.

Just my 10 Cents.
 
The latest 2v2 cup was a sort of tester to see what it would run like. 32-40 people over summer when world cup was on shows enough interest. There are discussions about a cup in Late October/November time. Probably a 4v4 cup but nothing yet confirmed.

XB has plans for something new very soon as well AFAIK.
 
i had plans for an epic (starting 12v12 yes 12v12 in one server) survivor assault night #3 but you and xb are hogging all the spotlight :mad:


semi joking though atm i cba to organize anything as starcraft II is hogging the vast majority of my playtime :love: sc2
 
IMO as i have said for a long time the only way you will ever save the league is making it easier to arrange/play matches somehow as people dont have time to play 3 hour long mathes at a certain date and time(aka pug league idea) or another idea someone could bring up , maybe/probably shorter matches , maybe even smaller teams.
 
Decrease the amount of maps, seriously.

d1ng - Dog 2 days ago, it was 8-0 and we finished ALL maps in 2-4 minutes which is fucking fast. The war took 1 hour and 16 minutes. That was a bloody waste of time and no one enjoyed it really. Next time we play dog I am not going to show and waste my time again with such a boring match. Nothing bad about the dog people, but the match was anything but fun. After 1 map we knew it was an 8-0 war and had to sit out 74 more minutes running through maps brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. It was like a never ending 4-0 pug with the most unfair teams possible. :hangover:
 
think a pug style league, but using server setup in place, or maybe modifying it would seriously work IMO. would need a bit of thinking how to exactly run it though. although regular good cups might be the bettter option than the league

Meh not to start this ramble of to sound so negative but what do these threads over and over attempt to accomplish?

League has been dying since the first war, its at a close end of a very successful era, being apart of it from near the start has been great fun.. with many up and downs, many of memories to take from this league.

But there is literally nothing to be "added" or modified within the league format that is going to cause "activness" to rise imo, most have moved on and those stuck here tend to pug and we should be greatful enough to have that running for the small minority of players in this community.

The reason the league has slowly decayed is the players an clans who took this game once with high competition and competitiveness have left, and there isnt numbers or the players around now to create a solution to this problem thus there is no fun or "reason" to use a league format.

If its few hours gametime you seek, then pug once in a while. . we have had quite a few tourneys some successful some not so, but its all alot of effort on the creators and admins behalf for a small majority of players entertainment (us), and gratitude is hard to come by around here so many wont retry more then once.

Meh to summarise, my view is the league is basically a community of friendships etc within forums.. and a small group of individuals pugging, and to be a peace in the knowledge that everything comes to an end, even our league, there isnt anything to "fix" or modify its simply just ran its time, rejoice in the hours over the years of entertainment its suplied, and to those that made it happen.

No more "fix the league plx" threads, theres nothing to be fixed just yourselfs need let go and move on and accept fact.

Naja i aint read what i just wrote, prob sound like a cunt most of you should be used to that now lol, just my 2cent.

yeah agree with it, theres not allot left here at all , but the league isn't dead yet there are still a few clans that play, for the people around that still want to play something can be done whether its cups , a smaller improved league for the situation or whatever for those guys
 
A pug league is coming soon - very soon. We (me and Timo) just need to finalise a few things with the server setup. I will make an annoucement :soon:

Unless its single player ranking system?

cool , always thought it would work , would be interesting to see if it will , count me in it !

Just some ideas from me on what IMO could work:

Open schedules(schedules needs most thinking about) , ladder based not divisions to give more choice of who to challenge, squad cap limits to help make more teams, smaller team numbers(lower than 6v6), 6 or 8 maps (3-3/4-4 ties or win) Ability to use current league servers with a pug setup or have 1 or 2 available servers other than main pug server(probably wouldnt happen straight away unless it's a success, and i guess would take allot of work? :/ )

just ideas ;p

we are too far along for big new ideas. But changes can be made and I will make up a topic for discussing the various formats. Timo is going on holiday soon, so it will be a good opportunity to discuss a few things, I will open up the site access so you guys can play around and see what needs to be looked at. I will do this sometime tonight hopefully.

And yes Wish its a "individual league" but has many team elements.

Since this thread started we have had:

- Pug League
- Survivor
- 1v1 Cup X2
- QuickFire
- 2011 Championship in April (To be confirmed still)

The community is not completely dead....but the actual league has 7 teams left.....
It would be great if the admin team would support me and make an official UTA cup. The only ones that were done officially where the EAC and IAC. the rest have been community run. Im willing to delay the 2011 Championship that I was planning for the Start of April, if we can arrange something more official and better down the line.

This community/league is not dead yet! Variety is what we need
