Jarzey Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Well, I am not suited to command at all, mostly because my English pronunciation is utterly shit (so bad that I cannot even understand what I say when watching the videos sometimes). Also, given my role of camper in PUGs, I am afraid that I would not get involved in team action and coordinated rushes.

RoundShades Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I can attend both the PUGs this week, like usual, however, make note, on Saturday I have 2 hours after PUG start before work. If PUG starts late and has long matches, I'll likely need to leave mid-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxes Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 New commanders this time, Madkill vs Ryz Mesa - Both harvys die, Nod starts with arty/tech and GDI goes for gunners. The artys are held back, but still dealt some perma to the GDI ref. GDI masses meds and take the silo hill, and immediately rushes and destroys the HON. After some failed rushes by Nod (Chem, APC, Officer), a mammoth/med blob on the short hill wears down and destroys the whole Nod base. Fort - GDI starts with a humvee rush w/ surfing engies which brings the Nod ref to 33 HP, and a follow up Med rush destroys the Ref. GDI ends the game with standard tanks/inf. Complex - Nod APC rush destroys the GDI ref, and a stank rush finishes the base off. Volcano - Flame troopers run in the GDI base from all directions, taking out the PP and WF. GDI rush deals some perma to strip, but no buildings go down. Flame tanks and artys destroy the GDI base. Crash Site - GDI for the most part controls the field with meds and Titans, and a long slugfest goes on with a couple rushes in between (SBH nuke, Mendoza, Raveshaw), but none worked. Nod eventually falls to tank rushes. Eyes - Both harvys die, then a triple APC filled with LCGs with a distraction tranny destroys the GDI PP. Another tranny/LCG rush goes in, one to the WF and another to the Ref. WF goes down, but GDI managed to gather enough meds for a rush. In the meantime, Nod gathers a huge mass of light tanks and counters the med rush, as well as destroying the whole GDI base soon afterwards. 4-2 Madkill, good games. Still too much off-topic chatter, but it got better after Complex on our side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxes Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Walls - Nod controls plateau all game and 2 apache rushes w/ sbh nuke and 1 tranny LCG rush finishes the game. GDI attempts multiple transport and orca rushes, but failed to destroy any building as they were intercepted by apaches and plateau infantry. Harvesters by both teams died a lot, so this was a rather low eco game. Lakeside - Nod wins with Apache and sbh nukes, and they control the field and harvester/silos all game. The first harvy advantage sealed the deal. GDI tried multiple transport, orca, and inf rushes, but none work. Complex - Nod wins with a arty/light rush and a follow up flame rush. GDI, going for meds, had no chance for offense as they simply got overwhelmed from the start. Mesa - Nod APC rush takes out the ref, and rolled down GDI with tanks. An attempted APC rush by GDI fails after their ref went down. Canyon - Nod wins through sheer brute force with artys and inf along with infiltration. Despite having saving the initial harvester, GDI gets careless with their meds and go broke after they all died. Goldrush - GDI wins with a mcfarland rush that destroys HoN and PP. Meds and inf along with infiltration destroys the rest of the base. Tunnels - Nod wins with an APC rush, buggy infiltration, (no bar and wf) and light tanks. GDI infiltration destroys the HON, but didn't stop the vehicle rush. 5-2, good games, everybody played well for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Last 3 games were too short. Canyon - What I did: after start, jump to tib field with shotgunner, killing a few. Tried to C4 GDI harv but it was saved. Nod harv died when I respawn in base. Started mining when I got 350. GDI got 7 meds with repairs after 1st harv dump but they got defeated by like 3 or 4 arty with repairs. This happened just in the short period of time that I finished mining. GDI failed to destroy any Nod harv after the 1st one, and GDI got no harv dump after 1st one. Goldrush - All but 1 GDI player used their initial credits for McFarland rush. By the time GDI reached Nod bridge, Nod already had 1 LCG and 1 SBH. I don't know why they refused to buy APC or even tech. If that player bought APC instead of LCG, AGT would be down, or McFarlands might be forced to suicide in order to try save AGT. Worse scenario but likely to happen is that even McFarlands suicide before they can destroy any Nod building, they couldn't save AGT since base is too large. Tunnels - Confuser2188 bought APC right after start, even before harv reached tib field. I think it should be a 200 credits crate. I started to mine base at the exact time I got 350, but base is too large. Since I spawned in air tower after died guarding harv, I mined air -> pp -> ref, but hon was already c4'd when I was in ref. However, bar and wf were already gone, and game ended with lt rush. Edited October 24, 2016 by Boomer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDI mcfarland and med rushes both fail Whiteout - infiltrators kill Hon, tanks finish off the base. Buggy and Apache rush fail. Xmountain - infiltrators kill bar, GDI surrenders.

boxes Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I think I've had enough of these 30-40 player pugs. Same issue every week: too much off-topic chatter, people not knowing whats important or not important to say in TS, and people not using push-to-talk with noise in the background. Unless Saturdays are limited to ~20 players as well, you'll only see me on Sundays now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff yosh56 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Totem Arts Staff Share Posted October 30, 2016 Well we know 40 player PUGs -can- work. It just works better when the appropriate people tell people to shut up and colour. Was nobody around to do that last night.. I piped up for like 5 minutes on Whiteout last night... and it resulted in some perma on Bar, but I was far too intoxicated to keep up trying to play commander/TS-moderator. Seriously need more people not afraid to tell people to shut the fu** up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryz Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Had some fun last week and this week. Have to say that I made a lot of mistakes past week which got corrected by teammates quickly. This week as a 'commander' I was more sure about stuff, but in fact I didn't have to command too much. The team itself came up with a lot of ideas, suggestions and feedback and I just had to filter them and call out the actions. We had a really good team and never had to worry about mines and stuff. Rushes, in many cases, took less than a minute to organize and we spent very little time planning and much time 'doing actual stuff.' Best thing, and Colin quoted this: "Nobody was blaming eachother." On the other hand we had quite some luck with people sneaking in. Thanks for playing everybody! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxes Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Gliven vs Ryz Lakeside - Same old apache/orcas, nod wins by infiltration on bar with follow up apache rush, GDI MRLS and orca rush fail Fort - GDI gets 2 armor breaks with an initial gunner rush and stops a light tank rush, but an infiltrator kills the ref and Nod wins with a nuke and a stank rush. Canyon - Both harvys die, Nod goes arty/tech/flamer and GDI gets crushed Walls - GDI goes for humvee rush while Nod goes for APC rush, both fail. Orca/Apache battle goes on, GDI controls the top and wins with orca rushes w/ ion. Volcano - Nod rapes GDI, carry on Xmountain - Infiltrators kill bar and PP sometime later, GDI surrenders 4-2 Team Gliven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That itself shows how dedicated your team is to listening Volcano was a (big) mistake and one I made... But as Smayhem can confirm we had some difficulties. Certain person(s) going solo all the time while this was not the plan, was one issue. Missing 1 or 2 persons on a 12 players team cause they are waiting for a solo nuke (when not plannend) isn't good. Second: on Lakeside where the bar was overrun we asked for help to remove C4 from the MCT. One person kept quitly remining the bar without reacting to teamchat and had the bar remined when it exploded. We had more 'stuff' like this on some rounds where people were missing or not doing their (key)role, while on others 'we' worked as a solid machine. I have no clue why but it was sometimes too chaotic. Also I wasn't as sharp as on a saturday, but that wasn't the only problem. Too bad I had to leave directly afterwards cause we had visitors coming in our house during Xmountain. Edited October 31, 2016 by Ryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMayhew Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Yeah people kept doing their own thing, the Barracks incident during Lakeside was pretty depressing. I mean I and others called out about 45 seconds before the Bar exploded that people were in it, yet despite people getting there it went down, because they just focused on remining or dancing or whatever the hell they were doing. I nearly quit at that point. Too many raised voices were the main annoyance though, absolutely nothing wrong with Ryz's commanding, the vast majority of people weren't listening to his or anyone else's suggestions. It sounds very alike to what others were saying about Saturday's PUG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff TK0104 Posted October 31, 2016 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted October 31, 2016 Well Team Ryz of Saturday's PUG was very good commands from Ryz. We made a plan before the game started like on Whiteout: Spawn at Ref or PP, go for harvy. Spawn at Bar or WF, go join farland rush. These are good tactics for the begin of the game. And when we needed to put vehicles at right side of hill, we did that. I think the other teams did that too, but nobody listened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoundShades Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 One more important subject. Daylight Savings. What... what time are we actually doing this damned thing, relative to the week before last? Are we doing it the "same hour of the day", or "one hour later"? If so, I can make a clock, but I'm only willing to show up if I actually show up to play, and I still work at 3pm US Central so if it starts at 2pm my time, then I can't show up until after Nov. 6 when daylight savings starts for me. Showing up for no good reason, will drain my effort quickly otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Quinc3y Posted November 5, 2016 Moderator Share Posted November 5, 2016 Gobi Debut for this map on the PUG... as bad as expected. GDI, having better tankers and snipers, overpowered Nod. Arctic Stronghold Rocket rush for Obelisk vs. Chem rush for ref & bar. Nod was prepared and repaired ob, while GDI ref was destroyed. Light tank rush followed and destroyed GDI base. Volcano Chem rush long route for WF vs. McFarland rush over the catwalk for ref & pp. Once again team Ruud was prepared while Nod lost both eco buildings. Game over. Fort Rocket rush for WF vs. APC rush for HoN. This time the early rush worked in favour of team Ryz and HoN was destroyed. Nod responded with light tanks, but got stopped. Ref and strip get destroyed soon after with tanks. Complex Artys and meds rushing over and over. During one of the med rushes an ion is planted by Nod ref and a nuke by GDI ref. Ion was disarmed while nuke succeeded with the help of stank cover and the fact that GDI was busy in the Nod base. GDI then got overwhelmed with arties. Team Ruud 3-2 Team Ryz, good games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
