PvP Boot Camp: Update #4: Coach Teamspeak Conference Call

gradstudent1gradstudent1 Member Posts: 633 Arc User
edited November 2012 in PvP Gameplay
This message is primarily for coaches.

On November 24th (Sat.) I will be hosting a coaches conferences call. The purpose of this call is the following:

- To give you an opportunity to share your ideas.
- To provide any feedback you have not already given.
- To help me strategize on the matter of advertising/recruitment.
- Branflakes will most likely take part in this conference call, so you will get a chance to hear his thoughts on Boot Camp. Please keep in mind that this will not be a time to express general feedback on PvP, Season 7, or whatever; nor as the conference call leader will I countenance any disrespect. This is meant to be a focused meeting with a casual/professional atmosphere.
- I will hold 2 conference calls, one that will be more convenient for Europe and one that will be more convenient for N. America.

Specific Teamspeak information will be provided in the coming week.

A few new bits of information you might be interested in knowing about:

- As a way of incentivizing the first event, we will likely have a drawing for 5 players (2 coaches and 3 students) to go head-to-head in a friendly PvP match with a team of STO developers that Branflakes will assemble. This match will take place at some point after our first event.

- Around 25 coaches have offered their services to Boot Camp! Remarkable. Thank you coaches for your generosity. And I continue to get messages from people in-game indicating that they are interested in participating as students. 25 coaches seems like a lot, but if you consider that some of these will be assistants and that the N. American and European regions will have Boot Camp Events at separate times, then this number is probably just right.

Alright, coaches. Thanks again for your support. I have enjoyed running into some of you in the ques this week. Let's hope that our efforts help to fill the ques even more.

Qapla'!

    Wow, people still use XFire? ;)

    I imagine it'll be TS3, haven't seen a TS2 in a very long time.

    Yes people still use xfire mostly for system gaming but yeah and the video software is halfway decent sense it's free sometimes I forget to pay my bill on AE Ess and can't use it so xfire is a great back up lol but yeah my comp has an issue with TS2 and it used to with 3 but I got that fixed

    Awesome! I'll be there :D

    [EDIT] I also threw my build up on the Bootcamp site for people to check out, it is still a work in progress. I'm also hanging out for a re-trait token one day so I can replace Covert with Elusive :P

    Question: How do y'all plan on having bootcamp without private matches? Just have the coach and students hit the queue at the same time and hope they get lucky and then ask the other people to please not attack because you're having a bootcamp training session? That should work.

    I'd offer you Lag's TS but I doubt it's big enough.

    I doubt that they will be down forever... then again, how long do they take to fix a bug these days?

    I have sent Branflakes an email about this. Hopefully he will be able to work his magic and get this bug put on the top of the priority list. The private match function is a necessity for Boot Camp.

    Just trying to help you get Wrath up ... still waiting hehe. I think you should have it done by Saturday and do some pew pew with us on your bop. Or maybe we will get on our carebears and kill us some knotheads. Or, at the very least, jump on TS sometime and troll around. We normally have a vibrant lot on during the weekends.

    Looking forward to joining you guys on the call :) Most of the team will be out for the Thanksgiving Holiday, but one or 2 others may drop by (although the entire team is really excited by the Boot Camp idea) if they are not in a Turkey or food coma.

    Cheers,

    24th? Sounds good. I will try not to forget of course, though. I guess there will be a mail sent out to tell the info? Using TS isn't an issue for me, fleeties already use it.

    Grad, could I possibly send you a friend invite in-game? At least until the boot camp is here?

    Though I will say, the return of the queues REALLY needs to happen before the boot camp goes down.
    I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
    I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

    Hopefully the details of the conference call times will be sent in mail just to make sure we all see it.

    Also: I really want to thank branflakes for getting involved in this. By taking this first major step to improve the base of PvP players in STO, we are hopefully taking the first step to make it worthwhile for STO to continue to improve and develop the options for PvP.

    Hi guys,

    Starting to feel panicky. I have still not been able to launch S7 successfully.

    My display driver's keep crashing, though prior to S7, they worked perfectly on the highest setting (though I would say slowly :) ), for two years!

    Brandon please get the dev's to say something in regards to the solution. If you look at the bug section, many people are experiencing this problem.

    I've had this issue too, in the best interests of the event it'd be ideal if we could get this solved well before then.

    Bit o' good news, Gradstudent, and I forgot to tell you this in a mail earlier, so I will say it here: Mentioned to my fleeties about this PvP boot camp, and a bunch of them did seem quite interested in this whole thing. So there might be a few from there (and while we aren't a mega-fleet, we're not exactly small either), who will be interested.

    against my better judgement: @branflakes: It would really help if people would get a free respec for participating, or if that is too much to ask for, a discount promo offer, coinciding with the event. Would make the camp a lot more effective, and also would be a great way to show some actual care.

    Please bring this up at the conference call. Thanks.
