How about clanless people? And maybe do something like players that are in div4 team should play medic-offclass with like 1-1. It’s kinda stupid let play players that are in div 1-3 team only.

However, that’s not really what the post said. You don’t have to be in a 1-3 div team.

“And in ETF2L Season 5 or 6 you have played at least 30 consecutive days for a div1/2/3 team”

So we’re limiting it to 70 teams or ~500 players. This is so elitist, and bad for the game. Basically this means new talented players won’t be picked up because they never got a chance to play with higher skilled players.

I always thought one of the aspects of the pickupchannel was to give upcoming talents the opportunity to play games with the better players, as this is the only way they can improve further.

I can understand higher skilled players sometimes get frustrated when playing with others who can’t manage to play at their skilllevel, but I don’t see how these changes will make such a different. A lot of higherskilled players just mess about in the pickups because they know they won’t learn much from a pickupgame anyway (compared to practicing with their own clan), whereas lower skilled guys would take these pickups very serious to keep improving their game.

It has elitism written all over it. And don’t come up with the ‘we’re more skilled’ card as there will be players in it who have less gamesense and aim than the ‘lowerskilled’ noobs, as I hear you thinking.

I could say alot more about it but hey, I think it’s time to get bored in pu1!

Enjoy your games!

Now all the lower div people can help improve the players in mpuk1!

if you don’t whant to ‘help improve lover players’ why put that work on others? Aint higher div’s should be like example for lovers?

Great way to hurt the players out there who are actually good and with potential.

What I don’t understand is why we can’t have the alternative “english only” (ie what we have now in pug2) system implemented sooner, although with some changes, for example a limit of the number of invitations a player can send in a set amount of time.

To me, this is simply a bad implementation of what could have been a good idea, and lets not forget some players may be rated as high but absolutely suck at any other class but their main…not mentioning any names :P.

The guys crying about elitism need to be pissed and shit on. Wake up?

It’s always a pleasure discussing things with the most refined people.

I actually had a div4 medic pm me, asking if he could join pickup2 just to play medic. That was where I got the idea from. Playing medic at a decent level is easier than the other classes, so I don’t see a problem with allowing medics from div4.

If by div 4 you mean div5, and by PM you mean IRC msg then I made such a suggestion….

Which I still stand by, its a good idea although I wasn’t expecting pug2 to be changed in this way exactly :P.

Anyone who wants to play in pickup 2
