King of the Map should REALLY be tested... speaking of which... 1.8 going to be finalized in time?

Yes, agreed we need to test KOTM!

1.8 public beta should be out soon - probably today. Final is planning to be released last week of May (i.e. before MWC) I believe. Hopefully there won't be too many issues with PB2, but the sooner any are found the quicker they can get resolved.

Posted: **07 May 2013, 17:41**

yea I have been waiting for pb2 for a while...I will start using it once that comes out. I think a lot more people will start using it then.

king of the map won't be used in the qrs or de of MWC

Posted: **07 May 2013, 21:18**

ill play some matches but not sure if my team wants to show

Posted: **07 May 2013, 21:34**

too bad, kotm is a great gametype.

I might be able to get my team to show up in reasonable numbers for something. Just casual 2 team games, even if it is something small like 4v4 would be fine.

Posted: **07 May 2013, 22:45**

Hmm yeah too bad indeed; guess there wasn't really a need to try and line up 1.8 before MWC after all :S Curiously are you concerned about people having 1.8 or the mode itself? If the latter, I haven't heard any feedback yet so if there are things to fix please let me know before 1.8 is final...

Posted: **07 May 2013, 22:49**

well it would be interesting to implement 1.8 for mwc but idk if its really ready for that yet.

Well like I said, the patch will be ready (and you can think of PB2 as a release candidate...), it's just a question of whether you think it's reasonable to get folks to upgrade in the next month or so. That seems like plenty of time to me, but Myth folks sometimes move slowly

I've assumed that is mostly due to laziness though so it may still not be unreasonable.

Anyways paris are you around tonight at all? Could demo some stuff I've been working for you that might be useful for MWC (to make stats, films, etc. easier and better organized for folks).

108 does not like to play in previous versions, i've gone oos several times in the last couple weeks and i hadnt seen an oos in years.

Posted: **08 May 2013, 02:07**

I don't think it would be too unreasonable for one KOTM game in the QRs or an early DE round, since people could switch back to 1.7.2 after that one game.

I assume you mean "1.8", not some weird plug I don't know about right? Did you report any of the OOS? A few were found/fixed for PB2 but all of them involved some fairly obscure plugins I believe. I've been playing a fair bit on 1.8 and haven't hit and OOS issues yet.

Anyways if you see any in PB2 definitely report them (post a film).

Fuck kotm. MWC is not the time for beta testing.

What's to beta test? All 22 lines of code transforming territories flags into koth flags? I think you're overestimating the likelihood of something being broken. Also, if MWC isn't the time to beta test, how come there are new maps showcased every year with what I assume is a minimum of testing? Not only that, but when's a good time to test new stuff if not around MWC? MWC is the perfect time to test stuff. Doesn't mean it has to be used (but in this case I see no reason not to, especially considering how intense kotm is).

Is this not why we have QR, for such issues. Ive never seen enough teams in a mwc to actually make the QR make a team unqualified since I started playing myth so at least give it a different purpose.

1.8, is what I think wwo meant. Unless KotM is a stand-alone plugin.

1.8 final will be released before MWC. There's plenty of time to "beta test" in the next few weeks in addition to the last month, and that goes both for the executable and the game mode.

Public beta 2 is out now, so grab it and play a bunch folks. If you find KOTM compelling in the next few weeks then we can discuss whether to throw in a map or two in QR later perhaps, but there's no point in speculating on it now.

Posted: **09 May 2013, 08:46**

Yeah, I meant no kotm in this mwc. Trying it out in randoms is approved.

These matches will most likely be taking place this weekend. Right now we have 4 teams signed up, i am considering signing all teams up if i can get one player from each of the 4 teams not signed up in the preseason that they will be able to play.

fallbacks will most liekly be at one time (sunday 2pm) or, since the substitute system is being allowed without any restrictions (FOR PRESEASON GAMES ONLY) I may schedule them at 1pm 2pm 3pm 4pm or something similar. 2-5 or 3-6 might be better, so it would be cool to voice what your team might like.

also i would highly encourage people to start making the switch to 1.8 now rather than later as it's stat tracking system will make things much easier for the presentation of this MWC.
if something is broken in the final because no one tried it, that's a big issue.

Posted: **15 May 2013, 12:54**

this weekend is may long weekend... i wouldn't expect many of us to show up.

Posted: **15 May 2013, 16:08**

They are just for fun, i.e. scrimmages; hence the substitute system is completely off the ball and chain.
