More VC-Only Random Teams / Auction / Picked Teams etc

[worthy onyx]

It'll get the community to actually enjoy talking to each other more instead of sticking to cliques, resulting in a less toxic playerbase, and would also make the random teams play better together since there'll be coms during the game

[river sonnet]

no bro

no

[worthy onyx]

why not?

give a reason instead of an instant no please 🙏

I see no downsides to this, I didnt say ALL random teams games, just a higher percentage

[river sonnet]

bruh cuz then people have to talk to you

[worthy onyx]

-_-

my point stands with a toxic playerbase unfortunately

dont see any reason people wouldnt enjoy talking to me i think im a pretty good guy, to each their own though

it really sucks because the server itself is amazing but having a bad community will make even the best servers die

[slate cliff]

what is wrong with u

[worthy onyx]

wdym

[ruby jasper]

people won’t play

[worthy onyx]

i appreciate a genuine response lol

why not?

[ruby jasper]

because they won’t want to have to talk to people they’re not friends with

i personally don’t have a problem with it

[worthy onyx]

how do people make friends? talking to people they dont know

[ruby jasper]

but i’ve seen people leave games just because it was vc required

[worthy onyx]

what's the appeal in a random teams game that isn't vc required?

to me it seems like people just hope to get their friends in random teams games and are either happy that they did or pissed that they didnt

with that logic why play random teams at all?

[ruby jasper]

teams are always unique

[worthy onyx]

does this make the gameplay better though?

on average I see people annoyed rather than happy during random teams games

if on average everyone hates vc on it would be better to not host it, I just dont see why people would hate it but not hate random teams itself, could just be a social issue ig

[ruby jasper]

if you get a single competent player on your team the game is really fun

[worthy onyx]

maybe, for me i have more fun with people that actually enjoy talking

if i get the best of the best but they dont include me in a vc for example i find it very very boring

rather than solid / average people that can actually hold a conversation that isn't "how many diamonds you guys have"

[ruby jasper]

people in this community don’t like talking to people that are of a significantly worse skill level

regardless i agree with you for the most part

so it’s not me you need to convince

[worthy onyx]

so weird to me

welp i appreciate a genuine discussion man, if most people on the server have the same response as the other two ig it'll continue to be a rare team mode

[ruby jasper]

kind of just how it is

been that way since like 2015

[worthy onyx]

i remember (iirc) around 2017-2019 give or take it wasnt THIS bad

then again making friends usually is easier the younger you are so maybe that's something to do with it 🤷

[ruby jasper]

i'd argue it was worse

the community is just smaller now

back then people were using slurs and ddosing like it was normal

[worthy onyx]

ddossing was way more common that's true, idk if it even happens at all now

regardless of slurs (personally dont see them as a huge deal but eh) the way people treat each other on the server really is just not normal

like if people behaved like this irl it would be a genuine issue

but being rude and whatnot through text will always be easier than saying something to someone's face or saying something on a call

[ruby jasper]

i completely agree 😄

but being behind a screen gives people a false sense of power

[scenic anvil]

I actually agree with this suggesstion but only really cause i wanna be on really good terms with everyone

[barren edge]

ngl I used to push for random teammates to join vc but it's just a case of too many people refusing to be open to others

by the time i quit in late 2020, I gave up and haven't bothered since

highly doubt the community has grown changed enough for this

[worthy onyx]

some things change some things don’t really is unfortunate lol

[barren edge]

fr

[frank sigil]

ppl be shy and shi

[tropic ivy]

Big team games don’t fill so to me I like random teams (mostly picked teams) cause you can have a decent fill big game

Doesn’t mean I wont to talk to ppl I just have to kind of like them

[scarlet oxide]

Are u chugging 2 beers? Impressive

[worthy onyx]

it was a pose for the picture i chugged them one by one after

and many more throughout the day

[scarlet oxide]

Ur him

U remind me of my buddy hyper

[worthy onyx]

i’ve heard bad things about that person unfortunately

[scarlet oxide]

Nah he’s chill he blazes it up in the shower

[worthy onyx]

this sounds like a logistical nightmare

[thin path]

yeah after the rtox yesterday this is def gonna happen more

[river sonnet]

nooooooo

UHC is a game of beef. If I have beef with someone, I shouldnt just have to avoid the game because theyre in it and I have a chance to have to speak with them

Random teams is nice because you either get friends you wanna talk to or other people you're okay with talking to but we should have a choice

we also got two people on our team last game that did not speak a lick of English and they would be banned and a -2 which is NOT good

[worthy onyx]

what happened?

[quartz lily]

digusting things

disgusting.

[tropic ivy]

What unfolded

[quartz lily]

Bruce lives till 5x5 border

that should tell you all there is to know

[tropic ivy]

He’s unironically not that bad if he’s being coached

He got better

[rugged jewel]

There is no world where a 3/4 Bruce the ninja is living to 5x5 without protection from seal team 6

[next pilot]

you were begging for us not to run you down 😂😂😂😭

[thin path]

call of 20 just ruining the integrity of the match

3 diff teams let 1 team run ppl down cuz they all in vc

[worthy onyx]

why were the 3 teams in the same call though?

[frank sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-spongebob-water-meme-gif-4970413557577283815

[worthy onyx]

did i misunderstand? that’s what i’m getting from the message

[frank sigil]

why would a lot of friends be in the same call

and help each other in-game

[tropic ivy]

Wow what a convo

[frank sigil]

unethical but unstoppable

[frank sigil]

bruce just existing rlly struck a nerve apparently

[tropic ivy]

I mean between u and gmail

[worthy onyx]

i thought he was saying that the 3 teams lost cuz they couldn’t communicate cuz they were all in the same call

[frank sigil]

i don’t think it’s anything crazy

likewhat

why u dick riding

[sacred isle]

@worthy onyx im hosting vc req from now on

[frank sigil]

fun

[sacred isle]

😺

not markets but everything else

[frank sigil]

didn’t mean to sound sarcastic

i don’t hate the idea

[sacred isle]

i think potentially speaking to someone for 45 minutes i dont like for a better quality game is a worth trade off

[worthy onyx]

i’m happy to hear it, what made you make the move?

[worthy onyx]

i completely agree! and who knows maybe after you guys will like each other

also even if you don’t that’s okay, in the end a uhc teammate doesn’t have to be your friend but you should still be respectful enough to talk to each other in a call, it’s like being nice to one of your colleagues to help get the job done even if you don’t like them

[frank sigil]

agreed.

but

this can be bypassed

the call would actually get bigger

if u think abt it

[sacred isle]

CT just very miserable

both to moderate and play

[sacred isle]

yeah ive done vc req before and guys were double discording 😭

[worthy onyx]

ct as in crossteamimg?

like /ct invite or multiple teams in the same call?

[frank sigil]

likewha

by bypass i meant like

[worthy onyx]

i assume the latter

[frank sigil]

inviting ur teammates to the call ur in

meaning u have 3-4 teams in one call

[worthy onyx]

i didn’t even think about that as a player but yeah great point man, makes complete sense

[sacred isle]

multiple teams in the same call

[frank sigil]

honestly, i see no way of having ethical gameplay and fixing this issue

[sacred isle]

a lot of the recent matches have had like 3/4

teams in one channel

[worthy onyx]

how’s that even fun

[frank sigil]

bro

use ur brain

please

[frank sigil]

shrug

[worthy onyx]

i’m running on 4 hours of sleep in the last 2 days

[frank sigil]

voluntarily

[worthy onyx]

and i’m still gonna play the ffa LETS GOOOOOOOOO

[worthy onyx]

not really, bombs and such waking me up 😭

[frank sigil]

oh shit

[worthy onyx]

and i’ve been having this issue with my asthma

[frank sigil]

not fun

[worthy onyx]

very

bad combo lol

asthma’s getting better though

[frank sigil]

just get some sleep

[worthy onyx]

so that’s one problem solved

i think i’m sleep between the ffa and the captains

[frank sigil]

u worrying abt the wrong battle royale man

[worthy onyx]

imma

[worthy onyx]

LMFAO

[frank sigil]

deadass

[worthy onyx]

@sacred isle thoughts on an arctic discord just for random teams vcs? have something standardized

i think that’s the word

[frank sigil]

not enforceable

half the players would not play

[worthy onyx]

no for vc req games

[frank sigil]

if enforced

[frank sigil]

i’m aware

[worthy onyx]

what’s the difference in vc req regardless you gotta get a server

[frank sigil]

i feel like it could set a standard

not a bad idea

but still a bit shaky

i’d bring it up in staff chat

[worthy onyx]

well was an easy thing to convince you of

[sacred isle]

i suggested IP locking an account that you use for random teams and then you get autodragged to your vc like on stratus (?) but would take a while 2 code ig

[frank sigil]

i was thinking of saying the same thing earlier

but wasn’t sure of enforceability

[worthy onyx]

i think the community is smart enough to put 2 extra clicks in each per vc on game to give leon some rest hahahaha

[sacred isle]

theres no solid way to enforce otherwise idk

[worthy onyx]

actually ooo i thought of something cool

[sacred isle]

people will still play in calls with multiple teams

[frank sigil]

could def set a good standard moving forward

[frank sigil]

not if enforced

4 player limits per call

or

like

limit depending on

team size

[sacred isle]

yeah but when you create a channel in here you can set the limit to whatever you like

[worthy onyx]

5 minutes a host can do /NotInVC and warns would go out to every account not in their team number’s vc automatically

account linking is already coded so that shouldn’t be too hard

[frank sigil]

uh huh

code it

[sacred isle]

i wanna host a random teams at 23 to test it out but i dont think theres time

cos of the new rule

[worthy onyx]

i’m saying in theory, idk how to code

[frank sigil]

huh

wait

ur signed with jmbl now carn?

abandoning the group you were the face of

[worthy onyx]

adding anonymous team (if that’s a scenario even?) could help with th ct as well

by anonymous teams i mean each team represents as one player, so you can differentiate teams but not the players in the team

like everyone on red team is named Red

[quartz lily]

hes on strike

[sacred isle]

damn ur convincing me to change it back

its jumble in solidarity with pals who are gatekept

[frank sigil]

fuck he is striking for?

[quartz lily]

iykyk

[frank sigil]

likewha

[sacred isle]

yeah maybe

[quartz lily]

sam I forgot to do it again

whoops

[frank sigil]

fuck it

maybe ben can get the spotlight now

[sacred isle]

oh boy

[quartz lily]

doing it right now dw!

[frank sigil]

c tier iq

[quartz lily]

I got a 120 on my iq test ty very much

[frank sigil]

you’re in the average range

congrats

[worthy onyx]

new t ierlist idea!

[frank sigil]

alr thought of it

[scarlet oxide]

enjoy the virus

[quartz lily]

nice im glad u deleted ur previous message

[next pilot]

Bruh what?? I think my team was just so stacked nobody bothered fighting back

[frank sigil]

all i said was “uh huh”

[frank sigil]

or maybe

just maybe

there was some unethical gameplay involved

[quartz lily]

also boy

[frank sigil]

im sure we’re trusting the google ai

and reddit

as a credible source

way to show off ur intelligence

[quartz lily]

I mean u can go look and if u find anything that says 120 iq is "average" id love to see it

[next pilot]

i dont see it honestly

Weong reply

[frank sigil]

wouldn’t it be your job

[next pilot]

We only had 1 team in our vc and it was bruce

[frank sigil]

ur the one trying to prove me wrong

[frank sigil]

bruce rlly struck a nerve

😹😹

saynar and daniel whining on and on abt him just exiting

[quartz lily]

I did, up to u if u think the source is credible about

[frank sigil]

120 iq my ass

[quartz lily]

or not*

not about

whoops

[tropic ivy]

Can’t even type not helping ur case

[quartz lily]

bro im tired

chill

but yea thats a good point 😭

[tropic ivy]

There’s no way ur in the top percentile tbh

Google be wrong asl

[quartz lily]

I mean 120 being average just also isnt true

[frank sigil]

it’s just a high average man

smtn is telling me u can’t read a graph

bad looks josh

pay attention in class

[quartz lily]

i mean i also didnt really go looking that far into it

but yea youre probably right

[frank sigil]

why even defend ur claim atp

just fold like a good boy and call it a day

[quartz lily]

well i just thought that the word average was a bit extreme

which u just said i was correct

so like

[next pilot]

hes another b tier player its no surprise he made it far

[frank sigil]

b?

[frank sigil]

high average is still average man

[next pilot]

He already won a game and made it to final border twice in less than 10 games

Some ppl play 50 and never sniff a win

[frank sigil]

good for him

[rugged jewel]

I don’t want ur goon squad on me

[exotic verge]

havent read all messages in here but only way around this is if vc required games required teams to be in a vc with only their teammates. Not impossible to get around that rule but also ppl are snakes so reports would happen

idk i dont really have a hat in the race cause i dont often get to play the random games
