New League!?!?!?

[Kahlan]

What would you guys think of a permanent 2v2 league? A league identical to TWDD and TWJD except with 2 players instead of 4. I'd say, non-squad-based. You could pick your partner, so it was just ONE partner. And you'd be ranked together as a partnership and it wouldn't be individual at all. So changing partners would be pretty much pointless unless your partner was inactive or something. I think the TW community would respond positively toward it. I see that ?go tourny is incredibly popular on the weekends and that a number of people play with the same partner quite frequently. I've run it by a few people and I've gotten nothing but positive reinforcement for the idea so I thought I'd take it to the TW Forums to get large-scale feedback. So, to sum up:

A 2v2 league with 1 partner, ranking system based on the team as a whole. As a bonus to staffers: There could probably be several "boxes" in one arena with one bot controlling them all, so it would be less trouble than the current TWD setup. The ?go duel map should be pretty much all you'd need. Just a thought, I'd appreciate the feedback because if this league goes underway, I'd be really excited to play it.

-edit- It would also be beneficial because I know tons of people have the problem of waiting for a TWD game due to lack of players. Now if you and your partner have the same play-schedule then you could play your matches when you can't TWD. Just a thought

That's a very extreme idea, we should name it accordingly

[H.M.S. Stargazer]

I like, I like.

[dee]

I want this.

Couldn't say it better.

WTF is going on with TWEL?

[moltenrock]

I say try it, that would be fun, no doubt.

Any who rejects this without giving it a chance is a moron.

But it would indeed take a lot of work to start up.

TWEL is in the process in being worked on. We are implementing new ideas and fixing a few existing problems.

[HateTheFake]

why not just make tourny full time, and allow the best ranked players to play in a 2 vs 2

Ok Thank you.

I can program the bots, if need be. I really want to play it, so I'm willing to impart my java experience to speed its progression.

personally i think it's be pretty goddamn sweet if there was like a 2v2 combo player system. like, say the duel is going to be taking place in, what we call now, a jav duel box, and players can pick to play in either a WB, jav, or spid.. so it's not one specific ship versus the same ship.

variety is pretty awesome.

imagine, javelin + spider vs warbird + spider.

would be an interesting match.

i like this idea, how about allowing each 2v2 team to have a roster of 4-5 players and they can act as 'miniature squads'. Also, if this happened, the league should be heavily publicised so it isnt ignored and made unimportant so only about 30 people play it; lets make it an official league! (have the top 16 teams enter a twl style tournament once a year, during the summer).

not really, wb and spider would rape the jav and spider...if it was in an open arena that is. Also - what name do you play on now??

[Sumpson]

sounds very nice as a TWEL addon

I agree with Ricko. I think the 2v2 league should be the same ship. And as I said before, I'll program the bots if no one else will.
