EF Automatch night?

[Hendrik 'DarcReaver' S.]

LAST EDIT: May 16th,2011

Hello everyone!

Since there's an ever-increasing amount of people playing this mod, and I've already heard from several people that it's a pity nobody plays EF on ranked, I got the idea to organize an

Eastern Front Automatch Night!

For the uninformed: What is that?

We all go online at a certain time (lets say 12:00 GMT) and play auto matches against each other. Playing ranked with EF is possible, as long as everybody has got the newest EF version (atm: 1.31).

It's also possible to play all game modes (ranging from 1on1 to 4on4 random/AT).

What are auto matches?

Automatch are ranked games. You know, the games that start when you click on the huge "PLAY!" button at the top of the online screen...

Although there are no stats for soviets basic matches there is a leaderboard for the soviets in the official automatch statistics (just click on "statistics" at the top right on the main screen when you're online and choose faction "soviets". There are currently ~ 200 people listed with a total of like 200 games.

 

Who would like to participate? If there are enough people I'd try to organize a time and day for this. Please post in this thread if you would like to play on ranked.

Im on every night,we need to know everyones time zones otherwise "night" is kinda ambigous.

Im US eastern time! I play between ~10pm-5AM
some people play at different times we need to figure this out

Good idea, I put a gmt timezone-translator in the original post.

[RedGuard]

whoops Ok  thx missed that
So, my availability converted to GMT is:

2-9AM GMT

I've always wanted to do this and even suggested it before. However, night for the rest of the world is usually early morning for us here in Oz.

Then we build it around a time available for as many people as possible It does not have to be an evening for everybody.

For example we could start at 16:00 GMT, which could be late morning for some, and for others it could be early evening

What do you mean by "ranked"?
Soviets don't get ranks for wins, right?

[RedGuard]

No Soviets dont have ranks. But there is a Soviet automatch leaderboard

Edited main post.

Exactly. It would actually be nice to redirect people from other forums to this thread so this gets broader attention.

Yeah, I know what automatch is, I just don't play it all that often.

There was a huge 1vs1 event in the past, because the event was postet on gr.com.

Would be nice if that happens again when the new patch is out.
As i remember Devs wait for the new relic patch before they release a new EF patch for better balancing.

Best day to do it is either friday or sunday. Here is a link of what im talking about:

From that link:

Count down

The time for the tournament is 7 PM GMT, which (due to daylight savings time) is currently equivalent to 21:00 CET and 3 PM EST.


Automatch day could be done at similar time.

Can someone, please, show me some screenshot with that "soviet statistics", 'cause all I get, is my personal stats for four factions, that are absolutely irrelevant and meaningless to me, and to the particular cause ATM.

[Hendrik 'DarcReaver' S.]

There you go big boy

[Killar]

i think these stats are veeeery old and from the release day

[IJoe]

There you go big boy

Thanks, little brother
