Quoted from Hildreth

[…]

Yeah they have a very bad reputation, they need to change it to make AL work.

Maybe they are too ashamed to acknowledge it and/or hesitant to ask for help. Then in that case community should offer help and work together with the staff on resolving the situation. Given that that they need our support ofc. This might be a step in right direction.

While it would be awesome if things changed I can’t see that happening. The reality of the situation is that you have a lot of people working towards making things better while a couple of people high-up undermine any goodwill by abusing their powers. I have never seen any problems with the american moderators, showerfairy does a great job and even people on this thread who were a bit arsey (foxy, kkalttu) put their time and effort into improving things without controversy.

The awkward truth is that while the same petty little abuses happen there won’t be any goodwill towards the site and things that require trust, like paid advanced lobbies, will just get the reaction this thread did. Which is kind of harsh on the guys trying so hard to make things better.

TF2Center Advanced Lobbies Beta Launch on TFTV
http://www.teamfortress.tv/thread/26171/tf2center-advanced-lobbies-beta-launch

Hey if it makes more people try competitive then i’m all for it. Will the advanced lobbies themselves affect the elo? Cause if it does people will quickly be thrown out of the rankings and competitive lobbies. At least if they’re gonna only let people in within a certain “rank”.

I think the contribution to playerrankings takes into account team balance in each lobby. AKA if you’re playing against top level players and do ok you have more chances of climbing the rank than if you wail on some noobs. So even if you face harder games in advanced lobbies you probably won’t be penalized in the elo.

That’s true. The class, the format, the scores and how long rounds take and who you are playing with / against are all weighed.

For NA, Admirable and Sideshow will again be casting, and our special guests are Stabby, Max!, AcesGamer and b4nny!

Why is it a spoiler to announce who’s going to be participating. Isn’t the whole point of getting high profile players to drum up interest? @_@

If you’ve got some names to drop, do it :)

I am pretty sure teams are not even made yet. I believe they have the players ready but the system will match them? Since I heard this is kinda the catch, even teams and stuff… Looking forward to how this works

yup, we have a set list of players, but the teams will be determined by the balancer.
