Topic: Balius 2 Planning

Vote here on the settings.  A vote will also auto-join you into the registration queue.

Note: This will be a HC round so the "Hardcore" and "Morale" options there are already pre-determined.  Votes there won't affect anything.

Also, current plan is 3-man families.  No ETA yet, but thinking 1 week from now (July 14).  Will ideally make a decision in a day or so.

Re: Balius 2 Planning

Delayed, unfortunately.  I'm working on a reasonable way to handle the 3-man teams.  I'm finding that our current draft-code system is very inadequate for managing this.

Current goal is to have this open by the time MW56 opens, so people can choose between the two.

Re: Balius 2 Planning

That'd just be exploitation. =P . Not a bad idea though haha.

That's alright though, seems better for the current players if I give em a chance to choose.

Re: Balius 2 Planning

So the 3-man team handling isn't going to be ready in time.  But that doesn't mean we can't do it, it just means we gotta do it manually. =P

So here's how it's gonna work: when Balius opens it is going to only have 1 spot in each family.  Whoever joins first is going to be that fam's anchor.  So if you have other friends who you want to play with, make sure only 1 of you actually joins the galaxy.  I'll repeat for clarity:

If you have other friends who you want to play with, make sure only 1 of you actually joins the galaxy.

Coordinate with who you wish and get ready. smile

Once the spots fill up (or even if they don't entirely) we'll open up the other 2 spots for private drafting: meaning people will *only* be able to join with a draft code.  In other words:

1st player joins -> (waits a bit) -> remaining spots open -> 1st player drafts 2nd player -> 2nd player drafts 3rd player

After all is said and done we'll probably have a few fams that aren't filled out.  At that point we'll open it up for regular joins.

Don't mind the messiness here, we're making it work with what we have for now. smile
