RGL PUGs: Discussion and Feedback
-
when will we be able to start testing the site?
-
@segamw Currently, this is an alpha technical launch. This means that the site is still in an early stage of development. Playtests are currently being done with a select group of players and we hope to expand this to more players as development progresses. Keep an eye out for updates!
-
@exa Lets Go.
-
Gonna be taking a sneak peek into the RGL PUGs Technical Alpha tonight on my stream: http://twitch.tv/b4nny
We will be doing an overview of the site and its features, and running a showmatch!
-
when it’s your turn to pick a player or map as captain I’d recommend an audio cue similar to what pugchamp uses
-
change the pug ready sound to the various banners, buff, conch, battalions
-
so do we apply for a specific skill division based on previous experience? how exactly does that work, or do we grind through the three with the ranking system?
-
Will your MMR/ELO be visible or is that encourage unneeded toxicity?
-
Would we be able to queue with friends if we are different ranks?
-
I’m hyped to play que me up right now.
-
@Brock This will be explained in a follow-up post/article. For the ranking system though, players will rank up and down based on match results.
-
@Zuz With the leveling system, you do lose access to certain divisions as you progress through the higher levels. For example, Newcomer is a division that is supposed to be for players that are mostly new to competitive TF2. Having a level 10 Invite player in this tab would cause issues with the skill level and can hurt their first experience in this environment.
A coaching system will be looked into down the road (though not finalized) to allow high-level players to access these tabs and mentor these players.
-
@LegendaryRQA That is a question for much later into the development stages. I cannot give you a definite answer on this currently.
-
@exa yassss queen this is so exciting. is there any chance for an EU version or
-
@exa Will there be captain elo?
-
Are you considering adding HL in these PUGS?
-
@theGoose There’s a chance for EU. Though, this depends on how RGL plans to expand down the road. Currently, the focus is on North America.
-
@narwool Formats: The site will support all of the formats that RGL runs, starting with Traditional 6s and later expanding to Prolander and Highlander. Additional game types may be added in the future.
-
@Young-ManYoung-Sanity That is a question for the development team. I do not think it exists currently, but it something that could be added down the road during alpha/beta.
-
@Young-ManYoung-Sanity Yes, there are captain ratings, but we haven’t definitively decided how it will be used. For now it’s tracked though.
