Drakkolich Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 So last week my team and I finally broke our speed record for Team Deathmatch that we've had for a long time and that got me wondering if anyone else out there keeps track too. Our new record is now 3 minutes and 26 seconds, here's some screenshots showing the game.

sharpenedstick Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Remember though, nobody plays premades to get curbstomps. These easy wins are actually something premade players have to suffer through in their search for truly elite v elite matches. Let's take a minute to thank the premades for their sacrifice!

Ttoilleekul Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) search for truly elite v elite matches. This no longer exists unfortunately. The era of super serious matches stacked with Aces on both sides are now confined to the Youtube channels and web pages that pay homage to those days. So speed records it is I guess...

Oh we're still searching! Just 3 and a half minutes at a time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, looking at the level of activity on the GSF Discord, I think mostly what's missing is someone getting their lazy butt in gear and actually organizing a Super Serious night. In the tradition of these sorts of things since I said something I suppose that means I've nominated myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all the good pilots queued on the same server on the same day, we would have some epic matches even without trying to organize a super-serious night.

The answer is to put premades into their own queue, and make normal queue solo+1 other max. We all know premade queue will never pop (because the last thing premades really want are other premades), but we'll see improved games in the normal queue.

It won't pop not because they don't want to fight others but because there aren't enough good players willing to group. Most just want to play solo and improve, not wait in a never ending queue for a pop they'll lose to drako. Also the normal queue is crap rn because of the seasons feeders. Almost all games will end up a stomp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't work the way you think it would. It also wouldn't improve games significantly. A few, yes, but not a lot. And I defend this issue as a Solo queuer. My thoughts on all of this have been made abundantly clear elsewhere so I wont re-cover it here. If you want a link to my thoughts I will provide it. I defend this issue, because it simply wouldn't work. Not because I agree with persistent group-stomping - anyone who knows me knows I strongly disagree with it. But a group only queue won't fix things the way you think it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpenedstick Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) I. But a group only queue won't fix things the way you think it will. Since I haven't defined what I think will happen when groups are removed from standard queue, I find it dubious your assessment will match my expectations regarding any ultimate solution. As you mentioned, removing them from the queue will likely result in an improvement. Modest improvement > no improvement. I've said in other threads, and I'll repeat. The choice is not between a perfect queue system that makes every game great and a marginally improved system. Given SWTOR's dev resources and GSF's apparent overall importance in that scheme, the real choice is between marginal (and easy) improvements and nothing. Removing groups above two from being able to queue is an easy fix with real, but modest prospects for real, but modest improvement. On the scale of what we're going to get in GSF's future, that's pretty solid. Edited July 31, 2021 by sharpenedstick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mintas Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Not sure what the point of this post is other than an epeen flex. If a group of obviously top tier veterans using Voip did'nt curb stomp a group of randos, I would have been shocked. Not sure it did much for the GSF community, but that was a very quick time on the match. /Congrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point wasn't that we won, it's that it was our fastest ever win, and we're honestly curious if anyone else has a time that comes close. Thanks!

Mintas Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I know it has been a long while, but was that one of the old records kept at GSF's inception? If you truly want an answer that may help. If the post was rhetorical, my guess is you already know the answer to your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you truly want an answer that may help. If the post was rhetorical, my guess is you already know the answer to your question. It was not one of the records we kept, those records were individual based, so it was all about a single persons stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
