We need an event that focuses on melee so we can introduce casual regiments to the more skilled and in my opinion more fun aspect of the game. I think a melee-only conquest or capture the flag event would be perfect. We used to do this in the 63e after training to practice and also for fun. It is a good way for casual regiments to get a taste of what a groupfight would be like. This could also introduce more new players to servers like BoB Groupfighting or BBG Duel.

I as the future Com Rep endorse this idea

On EU there was a melee only siege. It was quite enjoyable imo. Not a lot of people enjoyed it though.

I wonder if it was the siege part or the map design that people didn't like. Or just that they didn't like melee.
I feel like conquest is pretty well suited for melee only because it will be like small groupfights for parts of land. Survivors would have to hold out in that spot against waves of enemies, and good players could make a big impact. It would be interesting to see.
Good maps make a huge difference also. The long time running back just to get killed again is what I think would turn most people off. If there was a way to make things more fast paced I think it would be better.

we need this.

why don't you try hosting a king of the hill mode game event and just set melee only to on.
-
These were called line only events but I'm afraid anything like that isn't going to go down well most casual regiment's don't even go on group fighting or duel servers

Part of what I think this will do is encourage more casual players to go on those servers. Melee is more fun than getting shot and waiting 15 minutes and if it's done right hopefully players would see that.

I don't have the time, server, or experience to organize one which is why I'd like to see someone else run it. If a group of us got together to figure it out I think we could.

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
-
Sounds fun.

The reason this will not work, is because the noobs will get absolutely swamped by veteran melee'ers.
Many times I have been on duels or groupfight with one or two other players who were obviously new to the game and I just kill them 20 times in a row and they quit the game out of frustration because it's not fun when you lose 99 percent of the time.
We could make this work though, if we had a ranking system like CSGO, to put the noobs with the noobs, the average with the average, and the pros with the pros.

Events now does a time limit every round before an All-Charge is called. Me and Vetro tried hosting a line only months ago and only got 3 regiments to do it but if you can find enough regs then host it.

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.

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

lolyep why i quit casual events years ago

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.

pretty much all the events besides yours and maybe 1 other.

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.

Specialties mayne, I think people lost interest in Line Only but I would like to see one, the last one I remember is the 63e's.. We should host one or the other though we right

legend has it there was a melee only event where billthebutcher 1v80'd a line of elite players and won without taking a single hit

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.

I want custom maps with wheat fields back so the LG can go back to ambushing pub regs

LMFAO pinoy has a video of 57th doing that

pugs are fine for a week or so but then everyone starts to troll
It would be nice if we had a system like fpl where they keep track of stats and then give out prizes at the end

Even if there were prizes would people even get them? To my knowledge WPC is still not over because it's being delayed so no one can get their prize?

We're still getting our prize. It just hasn't happened because none of the days I offered worked for everyone on the other team and I'm out of town for the Holidays

a custom map's would be badass
