Go today at 14:00 EST | 19:00 CET? Might be on too short notice
The map decision will be up to Fetta. As I announced the map decision a bit early here, I'll grant everyone here a chance to change theirs. If Fetta remains with Silverpine, map will be Imaginary Friends, if he changes it to Phantom Grove, I will flip a coin.
RoboGoblin and I are organizing an 8-way random hero cup on April 4. We would be pleased to see a lot of participants from FFA Masters. If you struggle to register on GoodGame.ru, please check out these instructions.
Not sure if we want to set up a separate crowdfund platform for this, as FML and Pad both have Patreon accounts. However, to make sure it's linked to w3champions FFA, you can send it via PayPal to hightacelf@gmail.com if you like. I will collect and log the donations in this thread until mid of April and make a one time payment to Pad from the entire community. I will probably add around 50€ myself.
Round 1 has been a blast. Thanks for the games and reliable scheduling. We did witness upsets, chaos and a few freewins. Let's heat it up for round 2 with some more unconvential maps to choose from. Good luck have fun everyone! Predictions were great. More of that please!
Hi guys, Match 9 will be played an hour before yours (starting in 45min). In case your four players are flexible, please feel free to wait for M9 to be over. I would love to cast and stream both matches today. <3
No, he can't make it anonymous as we had it. That's why I suggested the trigger.
Thanks for your map pool suggestion. Twisted Meadows and Gold Rush are the only map of these that I really dislike for FFA (I'd rather include Sanctuary or Northshire and the map that'll win our FML Map Contest). Also, we may need to exclude Harvest and Fountain of Manip, because of their bridge. Not sure yet if that's really solved.
ep123Today at 2:40 AM @HighTac maybe Pad can implement something like covering the screen with an overlay during the game loading + robogoblins trigger it would be 100% anonymous
As you may know, Pad (creator of w3arena and w3booster) has managed to create a ladder for 1on1, called w3champions. I am in close contact with him to see how and when we can get FFA into it.
Due to the high workload, Pad will not get to FFA before mid of April. Therefore, we have some time to gather feedback within our community. We need to keep in mind that w3champions ladder will only work with roughly 100-200 active FFA players per day. It seems doable to me, even if we would have no true matchmaking with that player base still. Should still be much better than the current Bnet Versus mode, as the average skill level will be higher.
Two ideas that I have could maybe help to make it even more attractive:
We can use the "anonymity trigger" of RoboGoblin in all map files, so it is partially anon again (at least after the loading screen).
Two of the ten maps in the map pool could be random hero. So if you don't want to play random hero, you just veto the two maps and else you'll play random hero every now and then
Update2: FFA succeeded in the poll. In order to support Pad and compensate for the programming hours, I would like to raise 500€ for the implementation of FFA into w3champions. Since this is what I agreed with Pad, I would try to collect the money via PayPal (hightacelf@gmail.com). If you want to add something to it (F10EX, Mage and me provide 150€ combined), I will make sure your name is on the donator list and will handle the money with care. Thank you all!
Okay, instead of Stepping, Alien will play in this game at the scheduled time. @SteppinRazor hope that's okay for you. You'll get the 10 points and I hope you return in rd2
