The thing I disliked the most about the elimination system was how the matchups are made. Example: soso and I matched 3 times in the season, and Renaud and I also matched 3 times I believe. It might be just in my head, but I felt like it put both soso and I at a big disadvantage when we matched in the semi final. By that point, it seemed like we were both somewhat annoyed at playing vs the other, and it showed within the game.
The cards were fun, but not ideal. The double point card especially didn't work out as well as maybe it was intended. The sub card, while really annoying scheduling wise, did allow for more strategic play. And the map voting system was great.
Very cool. When mage and I were casting older replays it seed to back up this analysis, and made me think peoples' reminiscing of "the better old times" was just thinking of some positive moments after (possibly) a very frustrating game. Sometimes those few memories aren't a fair representation of the scene as a whole.
I personally the game quality has significantly increased over time, and while there will always be that super frustrating game with a lot of manip, I don't think that is necessarily true of just our time, but has really always been the case in FFA.
this week, my only free day is Sunday, and I can play anytime 14:00+ est
next week I know Sunday will be the same, and maybe on a weekday, but don't know which one yet. Sunday is clearly the best option for me, but if Sundays don't work for others I will post a full schedule, but my other days the hours are crazy and weird...
For some reason, gproxy doesn't work for me on useast server anymore. Is anyone else having this problem? I downloaded it again, and set it up, but when I try to log in it shows the unable to connect to bnet message. I can connect to Europe through gproxy just fine though. I thought this was super weird since I've been using gproxy fine for many many months and hadn't changed ANYTHING but it just randomly stopped working? Anyone have any ideas? I'm sure the destination path is correct "useast.battle.net"
