TSL Season 2 Improvements Currently In The Works

[Rab]

We need to test TSLB.
Can ppl log in tonight, and a host, say 3pm est?

[Rab]

get the fuck online and to ?go tsl now
if you don't want to help test it we'll have no choice but to start tsl untested

[Rab]

Cool, we got a couple of test base games done. ty to all who helped.

Starting dates should be set in stone and announced widely. Additionally, regular in-game adverts of the TSL/TWDT starting dates should be running, if not done already.
PS. I dont know if these are implemented already. I only logged in on sunday evening just to see almost completely dead zone. Sadly, these breaks really do harm for the longetivity but are necessary for many reasons of course. :/

[ogron]

The zone is completely dead unless TSL or TWDT are running, and TWDT only happens on Sundays.

There have to be breaks for TSL, though. People were getting burnt out by Week 7 of TSL and wanting it to come to a resolution.

Moreover, hosts need a break (and league operators ).

If you want to fill those gaps, someone should start something a bit more chill than TSL that runs for 4 weeks, like a small TW Hockey league with 4 teams that runs tuesday/wednesday/thursday/sunday.

Get AFRI to run it, and I'll help him set it up.

[Major Crisis]

Last time I wanted to do TWHT (like a year ago) there was still hockey zone who was fighting against it.
They even wanted to go higher with it to SSCU staff. When we did do it in the pass, Demonic had a good relation with the staff over there.
I have no idea how the current relation between Hockey Zone and Trenchwars is.. Neither if Hockey Zone is any active..

We could always do something similair like Strikeball or Attack..

[Major Crisis]

And maybe its smart to limit the bonus rounds if people really are getting tired of it. (Especially for the hosts)
Maybe its an option to only do bonus rounds at tuesday/thursday?

[ogron]

I don't know anything about hockey zone drama.

Bonus rounds aren't going anywhere.

The only limit I like is shutting things down at around 11:59pm EST. That should probably be enforced this season.

[Tiny]

Random though, could already be implemented...Could you lower the amount of terr games required? You have 2 terrs 4 sharks and 10 spids per game. Getting the amount of shark and spid games is exponentially easier. Maybe require only 10 or 15 terr games?

[Rab]

I saw people trying to avoid terring and sharking, not competing for the spots. Is there a particular problem you're having?

[Tiny]

apart from not getting to terr much of last season, except when trasher caps. Guy is a saint....lets me terr everytime....as he crushes the enemy....it's just mathematically harder to qualify as terr. Last season I played many games, but couldn't get the required amount....what...2 or 3 qualified in terr? just thinking that is should be reduced a tiny but to get more terrs qualified and able to play in finals. Not that I would be in it, but its nice to qualify.

[skyforger]

want in on this TW Hockey thing. pm in game pls

[ogron]

Got like 30 signups for TWDT atm, if we can't get that league going, I doubt there's much hope for a hockey league.
