Re: Campaign system proposal (no RISK)

Since this seems to be the campaign discussion thread I wanted to ask people a question. Do you: 1) Want to play each BF4 map once a campaign? or 2) Want to play the best ~10-20 BF4 maps several times a campaign? I could never play Flood Zone ever again and I would be a happy man. If I could only pl...

Re: Come Join In Some Poker

What if di is also doing the right thing?

WHAT THEN

Wish I could lose some fake monies to you all. Poker is fun except for the part where I suck.

Re: BF4C5: What do YOU want to see?

Cool. Or campaign timeline should be up soon now that generals have been selected. Hopefully we'll hit the sweet spot.

BF4C5: What happened to the vote?

As you all have noticed, the break was not a productive time in terms of moving the campaign forward. This post will attempt to give full transparency to what happened and why. The voting took place as planned and went as smoothly as could be expected. Just before the voting closed, concerns were ra...

Re: The "Balance" Problem (Survey Feedback)

Yep, that's the tradeoff. Recruitment becomes an important part of winning the campaign. I'd like to give it a shot, but you guys are right that it would be a major shift in how things work. We've deliberately avoided it until now, on the assumption that it would disrupt our carefully crafted army b...

Re: The "Balance" Problem (Survey Feedback)

cancel_man: Attendance is essentially a random number in your skill formula. Each campaign it changes dramatically for people. Even the player themselves isn't a good source for this - we could write a script to compare sign ups/attendance versus what people said in their draft card, and I'm willing...

Re: The "Balance" Problem (Survey Feedback)

I second Gwynzer's motion! Great discussion guys, keep it up. I hate to say it, but all of this has happened before (cue Cylon music). The primary determining factor in army balance is attendance. You can break yourself trying to come up with a perfectly balanced army, and it might be balanced for a...

Re: The "Balance" Problem (Survey Feedback)

Kilo, thanks for the analysis of the other communities. If we really want to improve, we have to look outside for ideas. If other communities can pull in big numbers, then we ought to be able to as well. We have to change how we look at recruitment and how we sell ourselves. That starts, of course, ...

BF4C5 Campaign Startup: We need you!

Another campaign has come to a close here at GC (congratulations SAD), and with that the planning for the next begins. We're going to do some things different this time around, and we'll need your help to do them! First, our Generals for the next campaign will be selected by you, the community. All ...

Re: Scrim feedback

I not sure I understand some of your feedback: - An "attack" starts when the attacker declares how many divisions they're attacking with (limited to 2 by the risk rules), and continues until they've lost all of them or the defender has lost all of theirs. I don't understand how this leads ...

Re: Reminder: Scrim 1 tomorrow

We had this thread a while back. The "problem" is simple: the community is not as engaged as it was in the past. There's less activity, less sign ups, less everything since we swapped to BF4. People look back on some past campaigns and say, "Man that was fun when we all tried so hard ...
