Quote<[dMw]Sadako> what are your feelings toward the new TCS?
<[dMw]Sadako> :)
<|Archer|> not good actually
<[dMw]Sadako> what are your concerns?
<|Archer|> well....
soz gents away for 10...got to clean the sptllage i made
<|Archer|> I was againstthe map boundaries if im honest but i didnt realise just how much it regulated teamplay
<|Archer|> since the dropping of the boundaries alli see are people out of position
<|Archer|> my main concerns are that altho the idea of flankign is appealing ..all to often people are running off and leaving bombsites unguarde
<[dMw]Sadako> we (the admins) try to regulate as much as possible
<[dMw]Sadako> I agree
<|Archer|> yes..yu guys do a damn good job of it too..im not blowing smoke up yur ass or anything but yu do a good job
<[dMw]Sadako> I almost kicked one last night for that
<[dMw]Sadako> not blowing smoke that is
<[dMw]Sadako> ;)
<|Archer|> seems to me that yu have let a lot of people join in a very short time an dfrankly they dont understand the full ethos of what they are doing
<[dMw]Sadako> We have added 5 TCS admins to our admin staff
<|Archer|> i was going to apply but after wacthing some gameplay on there i decided against it
<[dMw]Sadako> to monitor the games more closely
<|Archer|> yu dmws got a good game going but its beginning to suffer in my humble opinion
<[dMw]Sadako> I will bring forth you comments to the leaders
<|Archer|> when i played there a few years ago i was often vocal to my clan to not get caught up in dmws ways as it is bad for matches to play on servers with mp boundaries
<[dMw]Sadako> lol
<[dMw]Sadako> yeah we are bad medicine
<|Archer|> but the dmw server was always the place for my clan to go and play good clean games with at least some tactical thought
<|Archer|> we had a training session with yu guys once a week in those days
<[dMw]Sadako> I still think we have it but we the admins need to be a bit tougher
<|Archer|> yu even have some of my old clan in yurs now
<|Archer|> appleseed, swisscheese and so on
<[dMw]Sadako> k
<|Archer|> im not a great fan of rio as a map either..its very one sided
<[dMw]Sadako> I have been in dMw for just over a year now
<[dMw]Sadako> I don't agree on Rio. You just have to play it in a certain way
<[dMw]Sadako> I do equally well on both sides I must say
<|Archer|> well thas a tactical matter...but several times ive been killed just outside spawn before anyone has reached hossies
<|Archer|> thas not even remotely tcs in my opinion
<[dMw]Sadako> I know there was some trouble some nights ago but I was on it immediately
<[dMw]Sadako> it is hard for all the new guys to know what to do or not
<|Archer|> I guess its to easy in some respects to step over the line and difficult for an admin to keep control
<|Archer|> with map boundaries it was easier to control i guess
<[dMw]Sadako> we try and we will become better
<|Archer|> yeah well..its all personal prefs isnt it..If i come on and teamwork isnt being used i will leave..if it happens too many times its for me to choose whether to return or not
<|Archer|> same for everyone
<|Archer|> usually a good game tho
<|Archer|> my most recent clan has a server that is rife with cheats and bad behaviour
<|Archer|> so meathook is 100% better than going there..and i pay for that server lol
Maybe we should be even more observing now with all the new people signing up. Your thoughts?
Archer's a professional moaner. Never happy. I've exchanged lengthy emails with him in the past where he's bemoaned our structure, boundaries, AWP ban etc etc.
The simple fact is if people work as a team then you are covering the flanks so flanking becomes a risk.
Perhaps we need to increase the freezetime to allow the 'play' to be better communicated? The short freezetime does encourage a rush IMHO.
I just think we need a combined effort as Admins to pull peeps back in from rushinng outside the objective. I wouldn't want the freeze time extended by more than say another 1-2 seconds as it is boring enough for me all already! One button buy script and then talk about strategy. And by talking I mean try to get the leader to say what the plan is. I have tried since TCS launched to get the bomb carrier to make the call, with moderate success.
It might help all admins to spend a couple of rounds each night just spectating and sending in rcon commetns to players ot help them tighten up.
Agree with the professional Archer comments.
TL.
I agree with oldie he only ever moans ......i get quite a few pm's from him about the server and its only grips about players or structure
Without learning set plays TCS is about as good as it will ever get ....
After playing on the smx server...well it just another public....trash talk and crap teamwork
