Weekly Game Night

[Blackbishop]

@neosdark
What happens with RMC is that no one has balanced it until now. That's why you can say is worse balance-wise than CW.

Hopefully that will change soon.

[Pac-Fish]

I dont think RMC should necessarily be scraped, just changed

There are noob maps, yes, but I think the "Annihaltate No popcap" is worse. I still suggest we replace it with "VP No popcap". Yeah, still knida noobish but its more like a statlemate/concession rather than completely calling noob stompers undesireable yet leaving this anhialate option here

2-3 shoutcast souds like alot and considering how there aren't that mant good players I would recommend having maybe 1 per week

And fridays and saturdays seem to be the best days

[GodlikeDennis]

Yauz, the point is not to force people to play on this day but to provide a time when they know they can at least find a game every week. The biggest problem with EF right now is the declining regular population so finding games is hard. Maps and balance should be solved by 1.6. AI is good and can stay. RMC should be removed until we have at least balanced it decently.

We should start up the game nights as soon as possible so it is already established by the time we roll out 1.6 (soon). Everything will go smoother then and we can concentrate on invitational events and 1v1 tourneys.

Can anyone confirm if we can use the remains of the Donations for advertisement on CoH fan-sites or if its is reserved only for the server.

[Blackbishop]

The donations are reserved for the server. However we have a small reserve for emergency, but I doubt we are going to spend it on advertisement.

[Pac-Fish]

I dont think advertisments would be that effective . I think some people are aware of EF but they dont wanna play. I accidentially found this mod on COH wiki XD

Advertising, making tourneys, shoutcasts, ... BEFORE the patch is out will be a big fail like it was in the past. It will not save anything but destroy what is left

I would help with the shout-cast if we got the games, but right now there isn't much in the line of online matches, so I haven't done one yet. Maybe if i begin with a training video series to show new player (or players who are curious about the mod) how to play the Eastern front. That could help with getting more players. And i said Saturday and Sunday for the poll.

i highly recommend to broadcast EF games. I did this in the past and i got good feedback. If you look at SNF there are over 600 plp are watching. Meaning streams are highly frequented. There was even a russian guy who broadcasted BK mod games which got a constant viewer count of 20.

But if you broadcast pls only vs. humans and automatch conditions.

[Pac-Fish]

On a similar note, when will that tutorial guide thing Cranial was working on be released. Would help new players

In what way? A regular game night is not dependent on the release of a patch at all. It would be beneficial to start it up early. A tournament requiring a patch is obviously something we won't repeat.

[Killar]

I wouldn´t start anything without a solid base. Current patch is not solid and we dissappointed many players already (fail tourney, bad balance, wrong promises, ...)

[mads]

maybe if you ask nicely, then KrebsCOHO on youtube could maybe do a little advertising for ef. He has many viewers on his youtube channel. between 1500 and 4000 viewers per video I think.

[donthateme]

Very nice idea. Best time for me is also Friday or Saturday. Btw, better move this thread to "Community Events and Tournaments"?

[GodlikeDennis]

This thread was just for getting the times people are available. A proper thread should be made.
