    This seems as if it would be exceptionally enjoyable..
    Reminds me of the AOE Vs Public matches, Whereby the most organised team allways won..

    I do hope both matches are recorded :D
     
  2. Did everyone just completely ignore what i said? (for those who forgot what i said, here it is again):
    "I have a suggestion, why don't the people who own the servers for this event raise the "global sv_maxping" to like 900-999, so everyone can play regardless of ping."
    Also, i suggest you have the European game 4 hours earlier, so it starts late night in Australia and have the American game 2 hours later, so its sunrise in Australia.

    Trust me, you don't want to play on a European server. The pingkick is there with a reason.
     
  4. And that reason is?

    It starts at three because it was an easy time everyone could abide by. And I am telling you it ends whenever, so as long as there are still guards playing the event will go on. The ending time was vague on purpose. Also for any worries about letting everyone play, the reset after every three matches will make sure everyone gets a fair shot at playing, as long as they are in IRC they will be informed of the server being reset and be given ample time to compete for a spot in the server.

    edit: Also I would like to clarify that we were unable to procure a server in Europe. Both of the servers are located in America, however, their locations allow Europeans and Australians to play them without horrendous ping. The reason why we classified the events as North American Server and European Server was because of the times the events would begin. The American Event will begin at a time accordingly for Americans and the European Event will begin at a time accordingly for Europeans. I hope this will clear some confusion.

    edit: pingkick is there because if you have shitty ping it doesn't just affect you alone, it affects everyone else as well. It makes you this invincible monster who teleports everywhere and can't be hit by conventional means.

    Imagine internet being perfect (*newsflash* it is not *newsflash*)
    Your country is 20000000 meter away from the server. Light travels 299792458 meter/second.
    So if internet would travel straight around the world at maximum speed it would take 0.067 second for your hit to register at the server and another 0.067 to register at your screen as registered. This would mean you are 0.13 second behind on the game. This is if the internet was perfect and you had a ping of 123.

    But your ping will be like 300. Which means you are 0.3 seconds behind on everything, when you're walking you're on the other side of the screen for us. You are warping all over the place for us.
    Now the effects for you: we are warping all around you and you have no idea where we exactly are. I am quite sure you've seen teleporting soldiers in kag before, that's what it will look like all the time.

    Managed to get 36 kills as a knight without dying :D Although to be fair, most of them were bomb kills

    What the point to have a sword, when you have bomb?

    Yes! Finally! Some action!
    P.S.: shouldn't we, premium players, somehow gather up and create a strategy of our own... certainly we don't want to put up an easy fight for them guards!
