Of course. And I had fun. But better than lobby?

[...] Well, both my soldiers couldn't rocket jump even if their life depended on it and our demo kept hitting the ceiling with his sticky jumps :D.

[...] Forced mumble and semi balanced teams are more then slightly improved imo

Yes, it's a great improvement, but still the feeling once you were playing it might be mistaken for the one when playing your average lobby - of course with the difference that there's always a dedicated caller. Me always taking up that role in lobbies it didnt make such a big difference for me, but some people might still find it quite as non-engaging as lobbies. All I'm saying is I suggest people should think twice, because I really feel these people like to improve, and this is one of their first steps into TF2 comp, and it feels good to be a part of it.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=17897&post=326313 Sun, 14 Aug 2011 03:45:45 +0200 Reply by weaselo https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-17897/page-3/?recent=326345#post=326309 Quoted from choiie
Played my first newbie mix today, must say it was a surreal experience, and LOADS of fun! Despite our demo not knowing how to sticky jump and a spanish solly who didnt know more english than "I DEFEND LAST NAO!!!" when we were pushing their spire, we managed to go from 3-0 to 3-3 in a matter of five minutes, which resulted in the entire team cheering in mumble, especially when our heavy managed to get a clutch quad kill with five seconds remaining of the final round. I think a lot of people will feel like this is just a slightly improved version of TF2Lobby, but the way that people actually seem to want to improve just made feel so happy. Hopefully you will keep this project going, I will be signing up for more lobbies for sure :D

As the opposing teams "pro" for this game i can say that the tactic of not coming to mid at all ruined us, then everyone through our shit house too. XD Was a fun time and the clutch defense of last point was almost as intense a feeling as watching any final game. Well played to all involved, there's a lot of raw talent that just needs help being molded into something more. A couple of people who were a bit quiet and unaware of calls and the like but that's to be expected, all in all its very good fun and everyone has such a good attitude!]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=17897&post=326243 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 23:04:23 +0200 Reply by chojje https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-17897/page-3/?recent=326345#post=326241 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=17897&post=326241 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 23:01:31 +0200 Reply by Rochester https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-17897/page-3/?recent=326345#post=325705 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=17897&post=325705 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 17:44:58 +0200 Reply by Pozitive https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-17897/page-3/?recent=326345#post=325690 Quoted from skeej
[...] It was also quite baffling to see Exfane put up an event post at 01:30 for a mix at 02:00, and having the mix filling and people appearing on mumble almost directly after 01:30. So keen!

The good thing about these is 90% of the players do listen and want to learn form the more experainced comp players, some of them just have a natural skill.
Yep I was amazed at how nice and open to learn the players in the mix were... They were constantly asking if what they were doing was right, and every time I kindly advised them to correct their positioning in a different fashion they apologized for not having done that right away, even though it wasn't really their fault for not knowing. It was also quite baffling to see Exfane put up an event post at 01:30 for a mix at 02:00, and having the mix filling and people appearing on mumble almost directly after 01:30. So keen! Big up to Monkeh and everyone else involved in getting this project rolling.

one of the new players on my team had 3 doms today and he said.. "oh my god Ive never had dominations before - this is amazing" totally awesome. That's what it's all about :D
This is what it is about, people enjoying it and wanting more. This has given alot of people the oppertunity to improve, I think this is brilliant for both the player and the people involved.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=17897&post=325605 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 12:26:42 +0200
