LF Medic and scout sub with guaranteed playtime.

super cool smart dude. Let him play.

with the grab of Rekabet, we have our full roster. still looking for subs, especially scout subs as we will need one for scrims. danke to all our tryouts, you were great.

I am unable to set it per forum, but I went ahead and increased it to 14 days instead of the default 7.

I am just going to state my opinion, although I do understand wanting to experience maps you haven’t played before.

bad maps are no longer played for good reasons. I would rather us not waste time and resources re-learning lessons we have already learned years ago.

new cascade should be tested because its new and has an active developer willing to work with us. we can find new issues and fix them, and add it into the rotation this season.

None of the other maps will be added back in. because you guys will play them, re-experience the same things as its the same map, and we will repeat this process again in a year.

No, 5cp and HL isnt fun and will never be fun due to the gamemode’s innate issues with the format. 6’s works with 5cp because 6’s was designed around that gamemode. Vanguard was made with HL in mind iirc and we played it a total of 3 times in UGC(?)

ramjam is too big of a map for koth and while yes, we haven’t played it since UGC, the issues that were presented to the map developer were ignored and was not fixed. Also don’t use UGC as an example for anything good.

borneo is a very long map. When your best pick as spy defending last is to sap the teleporter, its a bad map. when your engineer on offence runs full time EE for ez teles, its a bad map. Its the anthesis of vigil with cap times of 10 minutes not being bad.

Millstone.

Anyone remember badwater_pro? I think we are on version 20 of that map.

anyone remember barnblitz_pro???

Again, I understand you guys wanting to experience those maps that you haven’t before, but do them in your in-house pug groups instead.

@perenne said in The RGL Expiremental Map Cup is Being Wasted.:

someone needs to get some map maker who actually knows what they’re doing and give them millstone and just see what they do to fix that terrible last

You just want to see Wax do Wax strats again.

(note: plz no, milstone was not good. Reminder that 1st was just one sniper fight+flank house, second was a throw away because the cap point was stupid forward. Third was a a hard hold. and last was just big, open and dumb.)

picked up Dubthink on solly

Updated, Picked up Godo on spy and Ben on medic.

We are now focusing on subs.

Looking for some deticated subs. (Scout/Medic)

We have filled our heavy slot, we are now focused on solly MEDIC, and engineer tryouts.

@scaredy-bat that is interesting, might be because the forum orders are customizable and when you browse by tags, you are browsing by the topic and not the replies. I set it to browse by last response for forums, but I cannot set it to do the same per tags.

@scaredy-bat do you have a screenshot of what you are referring to?

I went and looked at Wish’s post and removed it.

im not referring to just that thread but seeing that literally 95% of the posts were deleted and not the actual spam thread itself was dumb. idk how you conclude that thread wasn’t a meme thread, take one look at it. what kind of comments do u think are actually going to be made on a thread like that?

I talked to the person who posted the thread.

And I agree with you which is why we didn’t delete those posts immediately, nor why we punished anyone who posted on it before we knew what the purpose of the thread was.

However, just because you guys don’t take it seriously does not mean we are going to let everyone meme over every thread just because “lol idc”.

the “mission statement” you quoted specifically says it’s supposed to be an OPEN SPACE, not a fuckin echo chamber where only wholesome things can be posted. I mean, you guys locked the crouch peaking thread, and for what? because it was talked about enough?? its a forum for fucks sake.

…open space where constructive conversations, discussions, feedback, and ideas can be shared.

And even then, we have the off-topic and landfill sections of the forums for you guys to meme it up.

The crouch peeking thread isnt locked so I am not sure what you are talking about there.

and finally, lft/lfp threads. that is such bullshit that u guys allow negative criticisms of players and teams, those get flagged as spam and get deleted to keep peoples feelings safe. idk why you would quote that specific rule when you say that “unfettered comments” shouldn’t be allowed on lfts, using that as an umbrella term as anything that’s not a positive comment on someone’s gameplay or as a teammate.

I am not sure if you are fishing for something, but we do not delete negative criticisms , if you provide an example perhaps I can provide information on why it was deleted.

Let me provide some context. We used to allow unfettered comments in LFPs, which lead to some negative comments being posted and then the OP coming in to defend themselves. Then everyone and their cousin joined, attacking or defending, and then it spread to other threads. This happened multiple times on the previous forums which lead to these rules being created. We will not be removing this rule.

And just so I dont have to repeat this again, we allow negative criticisms, however your post still have to follow the forum rules.

In closing, we will continue to act as we have because those are the rules we are enforcing. If you have a suggestion for the rules that you would like to see, or something else, we can discuss that. However at this point, simply asking us to stop deleting posts because you disagree with our reasoning behind it, is not a good enough reason for us to change the current system. You may continue to respond if you like, however I believe I had said everything that needed to be said.

Will def be a good team. Never played with any of these gamers, but playing against them has always been fun.

For the love of god stop deleting every single post you consider off topic, mothership. these forums are dead as fuck bc any juicy drama posted instantly gets deleted. why does rgl even let people make threads when the only threads that dont have their posts nuked is the frag clip thread and admin-made announcement threads

I am assuming you are referring to that Tsun zu thread in which 99% of the replies were nothing but memes and spam. I verified that it wasn’t a meme/spam thread and therefor none of the spam should be been allowed to be posted in the first place. We have rules that you all must adhere to when using these forums and we will continue to enforce them. If you have a question or concern about a specific instance, I can perhaps shed some light or talk about that specific instance since every situation is unique due to context.

I will also add that these are not the UGC forums, nor should they be viewed as such. The goal of these forums are plainly stated on the rules page:

Mission Statement:

The idea with the forums is to create an open space where constructive conversations, discussions, feedback, and ideas can be shared. It should be noted that the RGL Forums is a platform of RGL.gg.

Our goal isn’t to provide a platform for everyone to start drama on.

@shaayy said in Forums Feedback & Updates:

I second this. I had one of MY OWN POSTS deleted on MY OWN LFT THREAD because it was considered “off topic”.

Bro let me determine that and report it or some shit lmfao, if its my post in my own thread dont fucking touch it lmfao

You can view our specific rules regarding LFT/LFP threads on the rules page. Here is the specific part:

Posts in LF threads must be about the user or team who posted the LF thread and may not include other discussion topics. Both Positive and Negative criticisms are allowed to be posted on LF Posts.

I was not the one who deleted that post, however I will agree with it’s deletion.

The reasons these rules exist for the LFT/LFP sections is because of drama and rule breaking that occurred from unfettered comments being allowed on the previous forums. We will not be rescinding this rule due to the pattern we have seen.

Guys, please keep your comments on topic and do not spam. We allowed it to persist so I wont be flagging any of your posts, however please do not continue from this point on.

btw, our main focus right now is heavies and engineers. so if you are interested in either of those two classes, please be sure to DM me or despy.

I stole some of his strats. very good engineer.

Picked up a scout & sniper. we are still LFP for the other classes, so fell free to continue to DM us for tryouts until we have finalized those classes.

we are also looking for sub spots for all positions.
