I think it could be cool to create new pickup channels for players of 1-3 divs

That’s like, a pickup between pickup2 and invite. Though, I don’t think it would be wise. All it would do is just lower activity in other channels overall. Pickup2 is a nice channel right now imo. Few failures who need to go back to pickup1 and work on their play, but apart from that, I don’t see problems with having like a division 4 soldier with me or such. The more you narrow it down skillwise, the less active it gets because there’s less players and people who can be bothered, basically.

To be honest, there’s nothing we can do about that. Ket pulled his weight and kept things in order, but he was about the only one before he stood down. You get the odd casual thing from some admins but there is no regular upkeep anymore.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it died…good in theory but fail in practise.

Take people like myself that want to play pickups every other week, just get booted after a while, cba to try and get back in. Fine with me, I can live without pickups.

I think he uses a fov of 10 or so, this would explain his lack of quality.

Skip if you don’t have time:

I was on the small med pack on gran in the ramp room, he came from the middle into the ramp room, an enemy soldier came from the other side (yard), pnk starts shooting, so I also shoots on the soldier, then he rans away back to middle and I got killed by soldier, after this I complained why hes running away with full health. And he said there was a soldier and I didnt saw you. Me: WTF? Didnt saw me?
pnk: Stop whining motherfucker, stfu silly bitch.

I never was a friend of pnk because he’s usually shit, but for pug2 there is no skill needed as long as you talk, but if he simply can rage without even a warning it’s just sad.

the channel seems fine to me!

What is needed to raise the level in P2 is the enforcement of the
“you invited him, you get banned too”-rule.

You can clean out a lot of cruft by removing players that don’t call shit.
For example if you don’t/can’t call what’s on the point or below the bridge, you don’t belong and should go back to practice in P1. (Or if you can’t talk while fighting in general.)

If it is not something serious other than that that get’s you banned:
2 week ban for the that needs to learn to talk.
1 week ban for whom invited him.
Oh and removal of the invite, so you will have to find someone to invite you again.

If 1 week of having to play pickup1 isn’t enough education, so you will think twice before inviting s1 again, that might have to be increased.
Less players doesn’t have to result in less games. Raising the skill level will lead to more ppl willing to add because they know it wont be a waste of time.

What pulls down the avarage skill is, when a friend invites a friend who invites a friend or a friend of a friend, without having to think about the consequences.
I have seen ppl get invited who had to ask “How do i connect to vent?”…

Oh and remember “It’s just a pickup!” :)
Pickups are where you pull that crazy risky and potentially hilarious stuff, you can’t do in normal 6on6. If you wan’t only AAA game get yourself invited to the invite.

In closing, it all boils down to having someone who cares about the pickup enforcing the few rules there are.
