Thanks to everyone who came and those who helped out. Hope you enjoyed it.
How many pubs were there?
A lot. Wasn't expecting 200 people honestly.(knew there would be more than how many posted here) If i had to guess 30, maybe more.
2 issues that if solved, would go a long way in helping the event. Getting the pubs on to the right team/line, and getting the pubs in ts. I had around 7 people out of all of those pubs in ts.(even with several messages about it) So, i had to type commands.(not a good thing when you are trying to take the enemy's position.) Another issue tied in is i am the only one really able to lead the pubs currently.(having the pubs in ts would resolve this, as someone else could communicate and take over or just in general lead)
With the event being open to all, and therefore no pw, anyone will join. with people constantly leaving and joining, getting them to the proper place isn't easy.(even with constant messages in admin chat) This is just the nature of the event and server and something we will all have to accept. We will continue to try and get people to the right place, by message and possibly force.
Anyways, for the first ever NA1 lb and my first time hosting a lb, i think it went alright. It was chaotic. and while there are some downsides to it being chaotic, i thought it went pretty well. It has a na1 flavor to it that you don't really see at other lbs imo. Hopefully as more pubs gain experience with how lbs work, they will become more wieldy. Hopefully there were a few pubs who wanted to join a regiment. I know 1 regiment did pick up an app.
I think i will leave class limits on next time. Leave a few extra slots in case an unknowing pub takes it, that way the regiment that should have it doesn't get screwed over. If you can, let admins know if someone is not where they should be.
and what are your thoughts on medium maps? they felt a little small, but at the same time we did manage to get 9 quick rounds in.(even tho we started 5 min later than i wanted)
and what are your thoughts on specialist by themselves. Ignoring the pubs breaking the specialist limit/rules, how do you think they did and do they need any tweaks? I thought i saw both cav, 63e skirms(didnt see how good the LIR did and there was the issue of somehow having 2 skirms on the same team. they also didnt sign up for it but meh), and it seemed like both artys did ok.(this is what i saw. i was fairly busy so perhaps i am off)
The partisani event after was pretty good.
again, let me know if your thoughts on this. constructive posts are welcome.
i guess i should also ask, how many of you would come back next week? is this something we should do every other week? is this something we should just do every now and then?
