ONS Ladder 2 Qualifying [Archive]

I'm extending the qualifying period for the 2nd ONS Ladder.

There are two main reasons:

1) I know there are people who want to take part in the ladder that haven't been able to play their 10 matches yet.

2) We don't have a proper tactical map at this point. Without the map the ladder can't start.

The extension is indefinite for now. I'll post ample warning before I close up the qualifyings.

i have an idea
why dont we do a name list of ppl thayt wanna join the ladder, check from there who still needs to qualify and arrange games for them to do that...i'm not afraid of effecting my rating by playing more qualifier matches

just a thought..

Eish, sorry for being pretty lame about the map :(.

I couldn't get the idea of a planet surface map working properly, the maps are all too different to possibly fit into a single planet :P.

Anyway I went with the planets in space idea... Hopefully you can see by the look of each planet what map it represents :).

Hot damn, Shrimp - that looks sweet! I particularly like how each planet's size reflects the map size. :)

Oh, and quite crafty nabbing planet textures from the maps themselves. ;)

In addition to the names we'll also need the army sizes and planet points indicated, if you please. What are your thoughts on indicating which team occupies which planet? I'm thinking small red or blue blocks, or maybe change the colour of the planet text.

LEET Shrimp, can we play Dawn? or any other map with different node setups - like Artic and Torlan are bout the same differance.

Xan would it be possible to post a list with matches required to play?

Is my understanding of the "army" correct, Xan?

It should be easy enough to update the image once a week or so with the latest colours showing control zones. The text coloured to match the controlling team looks okay I think...

Is my understanding of the "army" correct, Xan?

Almost. I'd prefer a single number which denotes the maximum number of players you can put in that map. Showing something like "4 v 4" might lead people to think that they can only play 4 vs 4 battles on that map.

I like the red and blue text - it stands out very well against the background. :)

BTW Shrimp, do you have any graphic design background? I see you've got a keen eye for details and colour balance!

Well I do all the graphics for the websites I do myself, but nothing beyond that ;).

Anyway, here's another (leaving the older ones in the thread as references).

It's a bit too early, in fact. For the time being you just need to pitch up for at least 10 qualifying matches. Sign-ups will only open once qualifying is done.

I have a favour to ask though(from fellow ons players):

if we play ons and it gets borring for u cause it lasts to long or ur mad because u keep getting killed

plz don't just leave help us out here the only way we can have a qualifier match stick is if we started 4vs4 and ended 4vs4 so by leaving early u'r screwing it up for the rest of us....
plz

Well the maps on the Tactical Map I posted are what Xan has in mind for the competition portion of this thing, so I'm all in favor of playing Aridoom, Ascendancy, Icarus, IslandHop, etc, etc a bit during qualifying...

erm...this here map looks fine, but the way the paths are layed out, is that how we have to attack one another?

if that's the case i can c a jojo effect brewing for the centre planet.

06 Jun 2005, 11:06

how bout including different maps for a change? ppl will have enough time to d/l 'em if we can set some now already. just one or two different ones, or even if we changed the node layouts on most of the current maps would be exciting.

Yes, that was what I was trying to say. Lets just please not play different maps with the exact same node setup again.

hmmmm this might justify a new thread...

torlan on steriods for teh win!!!!!!!!!!

<A>BioGizzard

06 Jun 2005, 11:13

sounds good to me....especially on the torlan map
it get anoying to dodge tankshells when u try build the primary node....start node, die, spawn, kill node, die....start node, die, spawn, kill node, die ....start node, die, spawn, kill node, die...

and that one node on frostbite is getting old to ....get tank, shoot node, die........get tank, shoot node, die........get tank, shoot node, die........get tank, shoot node, die........get tank, shoot node, die....
