Not sure of my daytime schedule..but I'll be free after 6 pm CST..And we should  practice FT if we want to be ready for the Transatlantic..

It will be all weapons.

We normally play uFreeze style settings, but we will be playing vanilla this time as some of the newer players to FT might find the pace uFreeze a bit overwhelming.

But we can do that in the future.

The only people that group frozen people together are people that a) don't understand the game and b) people trying to be annoying.

Spoke to docp we will speak to gangland next week and get something arranged.

If you can list some east coast servers (if possibles because west coast we will probably be looking at 200-300)

But we will check out suggestions.

On UK servers we will be pinging anywhere between 19-25  NL: 19-30  DE: 25-40

So bear that in mind because UK will probably be the best option for you guys.  I'm expecting 2 spankings you to spank on your server and us to spank on ours

But remember this is for fun really, we may have low ping on UK but I think NA has decent routing to UK servers but check them out anyways.

If you get better I can give SoG a shout and get a match sorted out, but they play uFreeze and nothing else so unless you want a schooling I would get some practice in.

Our UK select team:

thewookster
kanzo
docpossible
hairyonion

But have other options if someone can't make it.

Do we have a specific day in mind yet? (Or did I derp and miss anything of that nature?)

I'd like in, but I have Frosh Week coming up soon... So... yeah (Don't really have a point, just wanted to say I want in on the action at some point).

[thewookster]

No specific day in mind yet, as I said above I will speak to gangland to organise.  But if all goes well it won't just be a one off

[deathstarg]

Ahhh ok, I was hoping I didn't miss anything getting decided.

[brainie]

I'm down too !

[FunkyFlava]

Is this still in the works?  Or did I miss it?

[Gangland]

Im still down. Last I heard we were waiting for DocP to get back to us. Wooks, Doc?

[lowlife]

May as well start Posting here, as we only have one day left. What time? Who is in? What Game Type? I am ready as I will ever be................

[Gangland]

The games will be held this Sunday at 9PM their time. Thats 4PM eastcoasters, and 1PM for us westys. :0)

[squidd]

So to our skilled friends overseas: How do you think DNA, as a team, can improve on our current strategies and behavior in-game? What kinds of things did you notice from us that could be taken advantage of, so that we may correct our mistakes?

[lowlife]

As coming from a Team member,since we dont practice as a team, and just get together when ever it happens, I think we do quite good considering. We seem to end up doing our own thing in Game (I for one), intead as working as one. The Talant for a great Team is there.  

[thewookster]

To be honest everything revolves around practice really.

Not enough jumping into lava/void for respawns.  If I am lowish I'd rather deal some dmg then throw myself into lava because then that player is less of a threat to my team-mates, then I respawn with full health.

Turning up for power ups/mega and armours.  We are always saying when quad or battlesuit is and we are always trying to get timing on the RA and Mega so we can try and get a stacked player onto the powerups.

You did start to turn up after half way thru the 2nd map but sometimes far too early like all of you around the quad area on grim dungeons a full minute before it spawns, in that time you can get a few armours and a few frags.  Also while your all in the quad room waiting for so long your going to have deal with spam rockets by which time when the quad pops up you have lost a lot of your health.

BUT.  That's just team/gametype experience.

That all comes with practice.

We use to play FT every friday evening (just started back up again after xmas) so we were all pretty well drilled in how to play the gametype.  Even though me and jorinde hadn't played in a team with docp, cenix and kryty (FT team-mates) before.  We have played a lot of games with those players in other FT things and other gametypes, so it kinda didn't matter because we have communicated via teamspeak soooo many times before (even though my mic was broken )

Just practice practice practice.  The more you play together the better the team becomes.

Whenever you fancy doing this again let me know and I will get a team together again as it is pretty easy to just pester some peoples to get organised
