Wait, what? I thought one was randomly assigned a team. How do I take control over my team assignment? I'm on what must be the worst team ever right now....
Well, I don't really come here all that often to begin with... so, how about an answer to the question?
The way it works is that we group people to register at certain times. We pick times after the event has started to try to let all the other teams be built first.
That increases our chances of being together when we register at the same time.
It's not 100% picking your teammates, but you do get teammates to join and play with. Doing this will also cause people to fall onto the opposing team. Unless everyone in the time group ends up on the same team, someone is going to lose.
I hope you got the general idea.
S!!!.
Was rushing to get home.
Got home, opened laptop and tablet.
Pressed cancel (or so I thought) on tablet, enter password on laptop then back to tablet and it shows my join in reward. I was registered. So frustrated.
I landed on a team fighting a battle, was the 18th player in the team.
So annoyed. Sorry I can't join in the plan.
I am still really interested in teaming up in the next TvT, will now conserve resources for next TvT.
Sorry about that.
So was this a deliberate attempt to curtail the team building, or an unintended consequence of shortening the amount of players per team and increasing the number of teams?
I don't see the huge deal in letting people try to work within the system and control the "randomness" of the team assignment. Eventually you are likely to come up against another custom built team anyway....
@Ry - I don't think anyone made an organized team at all. Still now teams are not 20 vs. 20, so most probably no one made shit this time.
@Garison - maybe it's unintended, i don't see mobs being that smart considering the copy-paste coding system for every event.
God Bless you guys, I love you all and I really enjoyed teaming up the few times we were able to, but I'm thinking between here and TFL United guys, Mobage figured out how to pattern this stuff and stop it from happening (I know...one thing the programmers actually CAN do right...screw us).
Two events prior, we had it somewhat worked out, but I and the rest of the team were on the losing end of a glorious battle with the other half of the good folks here.
Last event, Arvegtor (much love, my brother) and I were lucky enough to get on randomly, but some ass at level 112 with a 20K deck was playing big shot on Day 2 after we built a 20 Mil lead and told people to stop hitting eight hours before end, we had it in the bag only to lose by 5 Mil (I was the only sorry son-of-a-bitch on an hour before end trying to scan and hit by myself). Why people bought into this was beyond me and you're stupid to believe it. We came from 10M down on Day 4 in MGK and roughed our opponents up two hours before close.
I'm worthless this event (low resources) anyhow, but somehow we've pulled off two days and I've MVP'd everything with a 49K deck. Resources seem to be scarce for everyone...
I'd be lucky to hit four days with my resources this TVT, but get me four and I'm Ghandi...
