3 things,
1) how did I drop to #4? I've been playing great since you last updated. Yes, I got wrecked by Cade as a predicted when I didn't warm up, but I made up for that.
2)I'm not inactive, you never messaged me to talk to me, you sent me a message about Fancy and Swerp, and that was it.
3)
Q1) "What problems do you see in the community?"
Q2). What do you plan to do as CR?
A1a) Firstly, the biggest problem I see is that the competitive community is lacking fresh competition. I don't believe that it's regiments lack of desire to be competitive so much as ignorance to the community.
1b)I believe we don't have enough fun pub servers. Servers where both competitive and casual players can play together.
1c)I believe the community needs more competition both for regiments and individuals.
A2a) Now I believe Gluk has somewhat the right idea with his 'Bring back NA1' but I disagree with actually bringing back NA1 (I hated that server, singlehandedly killed my desire to pub). What I'd like to do instead is work with members of the community to open up multiple pub servers, 1 on battle like NA1, but improving on things that I viewed as annoyances from NA1 (like combat speed being on medium), another on TDM, DM, Siege, Naval Battle. I will, of course, commit my own server to this.
The purpose of these servers are of course to promote competitive players to mix with pub players etc, and to advertise the larger community to smaller regiments/pub players.
Recruitment on these servers would be open to any regiment that allows recruitment on their own servers.
2b)I'd like to bring back PUGs
2c) I'd like to host some competitions that can include both non-competitive and competitive players/regiments, starting hopefully with bringing back your coaching competition.
2d)I'd like to host a bi-weekly tournament targetted towards both comp and non-comp players, this will be explained better when I set it up.
This is just off the top of my head, I might decide to add things later if I think of them, or if the community strongly desires them.
btw we can't populate 1 server yet you want like 5
Yes. Because if you only have 1 option for a server, let's say battle, and have 100 players, 20 of them are willing to play battle and the other 80 are not, then that's 80 inactive players. If you have 5 servers, 20 like battle, 20 like siege, 20 like tdm, 20 like dm, 20 like naval battle, then sure you don't populate 1 whole server but you get people to be active in the servers they like.
It's not about filling a server, it's about getting people to play, and as someone who used to pub a lot, I strongly feel like variety is the key, as it gives people options.
It's simple really. If you think you are better than a player, beat them consistently in ft7s. If you can't do that, you aren't better.
Mmm, sort of.
If you challenge someone to an ft7 and you consistently lose, you might be worse.
But if you beat mutual opponents that they lose to, then you might just have a problem with their specific style.
