should be able to draft 2. to at least have some kinda friends to play with so you have some assurances of a decent round.

and for those who don't have that many friends who may be playing?

5 man random ...damn

i know not to believe mods timings, but i will hold you to this arby

make it 2 drafts, 5 drafts is too much the fams will be overpowered and theres not that many vips or freind codes floating around especially since most got used for mw.

yea kinds racist

like TCO said :
"- Any inexperienced player that makes mistakes. Really, what ARE you doing here? This is a game for inbred oldtimers, you are ruining their fun. Go away. Block. "

Goal is to rotate between Draft Rounds and Random rounds. Keep mixing it up so it can stay semi-fresh. If you put drafts every round, the top fams will most likely stay the same, the same 2 or 3 fams will be the only contenders, and people will stop playing.

Arby3 please list all the winners of hc galaxy ever. I think you might find that your assumption of the same people winning might be incorrect. TCO is right, playing hardcore is a lot of effort and people won't bother exerting that effort in random fams of unknown/untrustable players. I have a feeling you won't get (m)any top end players participating in this 5-man random round.

pfff is this the 'solution' you guys came up with poley? son, i am disappoint.

hc should be about skill, not pure luck. It's bad enough placement on the map has such a big influence on the game, now you're just gonna make it even worse?
i understand why PW is no draft. Obviously. its the newbie galaxy. hardcore is the opposite of newbie. please catch on to the logic here. Its not the job of the experienced players to go motivate and tutor people who played one round as a barely active - which would qualify for this galaxy. Its hardcore, we wanna play hardcore, so we want people we trust at our side, and also people that wont go 'render' (replace with 'baratheon', 'TBO', 'KTiger' if you like) on our asses just for fun.

oh and no, if i say i wont play, i wont play. and i wont in this configuration.

You put that exactly right, its too much a TASK to run an economy with people that dont show up in time, go inactive whenever, just plain dont work in a team, etc ad nauseam. And thats not a challenge, i know exactly what i can and cant do in ic, and you know i know i cannot make people more active, i cannot give attackers skill they dont have, and i cant run a fam with inactives or unskilled people and still have fun (its just hard work leading inevitably to frustration, and after more than 10 years im all about having fun and avoiding frustration). Just run your 'fun' galaxies, but open up draco again for those of us who want to play hardcore the way its meant to be.

And u can teach attacking......and make noobs stick around with ur sexy charm .....

There is no impossible.......only.sxyness.......

Think about it
