Thread: Call to action - Let's Be Awesome Together14 Feb 2014, 10:56 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Feb 2014, 02:32 AMDarc Reaver Let me be more precise: You CAN play an esports title casually. But you CANNOT play a casual game as an esports title. It's that easy. It simply does NOT work to try to appeal to both esports and casuals at the same time. The only thing you CAN do is to make the game for esports and then guide casuals into the esports side from the game. That's not true, not true at all. I posted a documentary about the smash bros: melee scene. The game's lead designer and director has been quoted that he designed the game to be a party game and Nintendo has issued law suits to people creating content for the game or streaming the game in the past. I'll link to it once more in the hopes that people who vehemently believe what I quoted will change their opinion. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoUHkRwnRH-KTCH3tJ9WvsWWPEgUu-y6d In: Lobby
Thread: Competitive Community?13 Feb 2014, 16:12 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Feb 2014, 15:57 PMTommy Good luck to you. All I will say is that you're not trying anything that others before you haven't tried to do (Ipkai with ESL f.x) and you will be fighting Relic tooth and nail every step of the way. CoH2 could've been a good competitive game, even with its extremely limited set of positive attributes, if the developers had maintained a positive attitude towards it. As Inverse says, they talk the talk but no dice, and I for one will not be spending any more time trying to push this boulder uphill. If I can be honest I haven't been fighting Relic tooth and nail every step of the way. The way ESL is run I can't directly receive prizes from Relic/Sega to give away nor can I accept donations. My problem has actually been trying to get people to play in a tournament or league instead of auto match which is something I will have to work on. In: Lobby
Thread: Call to action - Let's Be Awesome Together13 Feb 2014, 16:00 PM It's not about emphasizing short content over longer content. It's about using short and catchy content to introduce new people or people who are generally uninterested in your long content to consider taking the time to watch it. The issue with a lot of guys who are pushing for a bigger competitive scene myself included don't have a lot of experience in getting a scene up to the level of say Smash Bros: Melee let alone dota2 or LoL. I used smash as an example because the lead developer has stated that he does not care for competitive play and Nintendo have issued many law suits against people who streamed tournaments for melee. Yet their scene struggles on, if you have the time take a look at this documentary. It's very informative http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoUHkRwnRH-KTCH3tJ9WvsWWPEgUu-y6d I think the best thing a lot of us could do is to do some research on the growing pains other gaming scenes went through and apply the lessons they learned to our scene.

Thread: Call to action - Let's Be Awesome Together13 Feb 2014, 15:35 PM Best moment in competitive gaming ever and less than 60 seconds. It's what got me into fighters competitively and for many other people too. If you want to get people interested in what you do you need something snappy to supplement your meaty content. In: Lobby

People doing the reasonable thing? ComputerHeat, you so crazy! Looking forward to the real deal the font is too big In: COH2 Gameplay

Yes, I believe it's at 10 distance units or less. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: RIP TFN10 Feb 2014, 00:17 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Feb 2014, 16:33 PMAimstrong Thanks for a nice cast and a good final tournament to host. You two have always been my favourite casters; not just for entertainment value, but I can also say as a good player that your casts are the most informative out there. I've felt welcome and enjoyed participating in your casts. You guys did a lot for the community and I can't say how much I appreciate it. Watching your final farewell I can't help but agree. I don't think you have gained the support you deserved, especially considering how your shows surpass SNF, which I feel has been an inferior show yet gotten almost exclusive support from Relic. I only noticed this post but I have to agree with aimstrong. I felt the combo of Fatal and Tommy was the best combo you could get for CoH1. They picked up where Bridger and Vitts left off.
