Sunday Community Skirmish #58 (Signups for Sunday July 5th)

<< < (5/7) > >>

DJ Logicalia:
'Cause it's fun. I like new maps, you guys like new maps, the community as a whole like new maps. We want to see it get some play. We had some people do some testing this afternoon and we couldn't replicate any game breaking bugs, so hopefully that means the reports are over exaggerated or they're rare enough to not be an issue (hopefully). I see no issue in including it in the rotation and seeing what happens

BlackenedPies:
I agree and I'd like to see it in competitive play. They're friendly matches.

Tfaltys:
Considering the recent SCS signup trends I also think round robin sounds like an interesting idea but as for the new map... Even though the developers should have addressed all major issues by now it still seems more reasonable to allow for some post-release feedback because clearly there's always a chance for bugs to make it through. Indeed why not just eliminate the possibility of "Something happening" until we're certain. Whilst it's true that we like new maps, the new map is being played in pub matches very often already (for the overall "getting play" factor) and it just doesn't seem like a big effort to give it some more time before bringing it to competitive.

SteamyNoodle:
After losing a match by 7 seconds on a time technicality I'm not sure I have the same laissez faire approach to the rules :P.

But if it's what we're gonna play it's what we're gonna play.  If it's buggy hopefully it will at least be equitably buggy.

Mysterious Medic:
I think it's also kind of important to understand the original purpose of the Sunday Rumble (and the SCS) was to have a casual and slightly competitive tournament and experiment on things. The new format for double elimination was an experiment, and in the SCS you don't have to be super serious and only take predictable builds. Trust me, I understand that the SCS (and Sunday Rumble) can become extremely competitive and the idea of "casual" can and inevitably will lose focus in your mind while crewing or piloting, but we do have to remember that one of the important reasons for the Sunday Rumble's existence was to have a less serious event than the Saturday Box Social. Granted, when the SCS came about there was no weekly Saturday event besides the occasional tournaments, still the purpose of the SCS was never really to be the most supreme hardcore and official competitive icarus tournament there ever was. For that reason I see it as a good tournament to use for testing of new maps like Clash at Blackcliff. However, the lack of any serious tournament in the foreseeable future makes the whole "testing" of such a map pointless as we're not really "testing" for anything. I've wanted to post and maybe even help concerning the making of another more serious Saturday tournament, but considering the drought in teams lately I was kind of dreading the negative feedback for such an event as many would probably prefer getting the SCS to a comfortable team pool before starting another tournament that would need more responsibilities for casters, referees, and teams which seems to be a problem lately. Regardless, I hope things go well and the new map brings some interesting things into play.
