« on: September 30, 2014, 03:04:18 pm »

There's only but a small percentage of people that dares play the game despite the "lobbies of icarus" issue, and most of the people that already left prefers going straight into the game action instead of preparing the right layout and setting yourselves up around the ship. Muse said there's the matchmaking system coming up with the next big patch, so if it will come with proper advertisement from youtubers and such, the playerbase may be more solid than it currently is. That of course depends on whether or not this matchmaking thing will be done properly, but it is a chance for the playerbase, amount of lobbies, and ease of finding a game to be significantly increased.

-Did you find the 3v3 format enjoyable, or would you prefer 2v2?

I definitely find a 3v3 format more enjoyable in this kind of casual event. 3v3 opens many possibilities for your ship choice and it's layout, not to mention a chance to play Crazy King, and thanks to this system, BO1 with 3 different ships per team, matches are also played in a reasonable timespan for both timezones for multiple teams, which I believe was a go-to mindset in the tournament, to bring the community closer. A big yes from my side for 3v3, I would even go 4v4 if there were more maps for it

-Would you rather see this event aired pre-filmed, like the Anvalan Conflict, or live?

By pre-filmed you mean recorded without streaming and uploaded on youtube at later date? Because in this case you might as well stream it, cause the event ends up on youtube anyway. Also, if pre-filming includes video editing and cutting some parts of the original video (like GoIO games of youtubers vs devs on Polaris) then I can already tell you I'd rather watch the raw version.

-Was the points system confusing or fun?

Both.

-What would you change about the points system (can be specific to certain weeks)

First of all I feel it was sometimes inconsistent, while it shouldn't be. If you give additional points for ram kills on week 1 then I'd give them during the next weeks too, cause rams are still awesome. Also I'd give more points for more stuff to all the people, so if possible, noone's left out. And I'd give + points for stuff outside the match itself, like Duck logos.

-Secret points suggestions

Consistent list of additional points:
Reference points(for ship name with reference)
Best ship name(for funniest ship name of the match)
Best costume of the match
Best gunnery of the match
Match MVP (for the best gamechanging action in the game: nice flank, epic tanking, max range flak shot, something that makes them a great ship in their team, even if they didn't get most kills)
Match Killer (most kills of the match(I think, with supportive ships and stuff, this is the only way kills should affect the points(look week 6 and point betting system)))
Most creative loadout (for being a GoIO hipster, triple banshee, double harpoon builds and so on).
Ram kill points
Random fun points (team ship hug, ekhem*spiredrill*ekhem, squid race backwards start, tic-tac-toe caster trolling)
+ very random, inconsistent bonus points for stuff that doesn't fit any of the categories (like those bonus points for being crushed during the squid race)
and of course, stuff outside the match like Duck logos (I'd give initial points at the start of the event's 1st week for best logos, regarding quality, fun or reference)

just watched the replay, its hard to say in game 1 who got the last kill though.

I mean I didn't make a screenshot cuz I didn't know that kills per team will matter anyhow, but my team was interested in our kill count, and I did see we've got 3 crew kills + 1 ram kill in the end-game stats window. Unfortunately you only have my word on it (this is why I want the match history in the game :| ).

Yea it would definitely help if we knew what kind of ships we'd be flying, but that requires of us to know the gametype.
No promises, but I'll try to put an otter in the ship name unless I come up with something better just for this week ;p

Was that the one in the Iron Fork?

Daniel gets at least one kill with his poon+moonshine gall ram almost every time he plays Iron Fork with it. But the one you think of was against Jacob's Spire.
