or if it was teams, you can make teams fair. If bad players had good players on their team they might not care, especially if it was 100v100. lol you know what, we could try a version of this on Bot Survival, like on a Friday night, do 20 elite players vs 50-80, on melee only. That might be hilarious.

old causal events were so much better. you didn't have to wait 15mins dead because of the hill camping. that has been happening in pub events since like mid-late 2017 so much. I use to merc a lot months ago and there were only 3 rounds in one event every week like that is so boring and annoying. before you could do several round that lasted about under 10min and get like 6-8 rounds. think these were the line only events though. it's just so boring with a round being 15min of hill camping. part of it to is the admins. besides a few, most admins let that happen and that is why it continues to happen.

maybe i should host a line only event
this is why I actually started to hate casual events. Like you got shot early or something you are literally just spectating for 20 minutes to do it again next round

Even as late as when I hosted my event we always got through two maps of three rounds each, and usually played a third map with two rounds. Not sure which hosts are the ones who are unable to get through two and a half maps but they should definitely be doing better than that.

We should to this tonight! (or next friday) It would be a good run to see if we could pull it off with the casuals and make a real event with it. It's possible with regiments I think you just have to balance them correctly, and there's not too too many vet. players I would say that would just murder everyone.

I think things like PUG's are a pretty good after event alternative if they're hosted again.

PUG’s are PUG’s. We need something to introduce the casual regiments to the melee side of the game.

I am not sure what old casual events you are taking about, but 54th, 63e, 29th/9th, 24th/Nr9, LIR, 3te, Prussian Army and others all hillcamp back then. Some regiments would actually run to he edge of the map to avoid cavalry which caused events to last a lot longer. We use to barely get a second map finished on time.

Eventually things got better, when William left the 9th they started to work with other regiments and fight in middle but they disbanded shortly after. PSG where a good example of a regiment in casual events that didn’t hillcamp too hard same with the IXE. Nr9 eventually changed their ways too.
