EF Automatch night
« on: November 15, 2010, 04:00:47 PM »
This question is primarily aimed at those who don't normally automatch however, others may answer if they wish to.

If a date were set for an EF 1v1 automatch night where everyone gets on and autos against each other, would you play?

I've steadily noticed less and less activity on these forums, no doubt due to school/university/job/other real world things. Though I'd like to rectify this. I've thought that a good competitive spirit would be good to have so I'd like to arrange a date where people come on and exclusively automatch for ease of game finding. If it works out maybe we can have a certain day each week where people make an effort to come online and play a few automatches. It would certainly help keep the mod alive. Any thoughts?

Yes, like vCoH...You need only the players in the Ranked Game rooms. ;)

US or Europe night?
Also as I remember 1.00-1.04 Automatch could create games US/UK vs Soviets. I played only 2 of these cold war games back in february.

I have yet to get an auto match game, and I have tried many times, so this sounds interesting. I have seen the lack of activity also. Been a while since I played too. For me it was the munitions upkeep, particularly on the AT gun and medic truck which I always thought didn’t make since.

Tournaments and Gamenights are allways welcome from my point of view great initiative GodlikeDennis!

Great idea.  Haven't been playing on EF for ages, and I'd be happy to participate.  Killing Reds with MG42 fire is a lot more appealing than playing against Brits in vCoH.

IMO the T90 instant pin, the SU tank destroyer, and USA strafe need something done with them before the tourney can start however.

I'm Australian, so either way it wouldn't be night for me. I'm not fussed.

The second part of your post could be an issue that I forgot. Does anyone know if this has been fixed?

These are certainly problems that I would like fixed as well. This is only a casual (possibly weekly) thing that I would like to get started, not a tourney, so it matters less.

How about starting around 12 midday GMT on Saturdays? This allows Europeans to have an arvo session, whilst us Australians play Saturday night. Would Americans be willing to play in the morning?

Once us Aussies go to bed, it will be night in Europe and afternoon in NA.

Is everyone happy with something like this?

I like it, since now I work from 22.00 to 6.15 Central Europes time...
But who in US will play at 5 AM?
It has to be at least 2PM GMT.
