We seem to have a lot of split between how serious we want to play while we're online. Is it time we split into having two servers... Omni Casual and Omni Competitive? Not sure what the logistics would entail. I generally don't think splitting the server is good considering our numbers (can't afford a Minus 24/7 server any more)... but if the casual server has 10v10 while the competitive has a solid we'd still have fun maybe? Or we can make the comp server appear on certain days of the week or something?

Casual server can have all the maps with all the vehicles, balancer, no cooldown etc

Competitive server can have no balancer (we'd self regulate in-game), timer before match starts to talk strategy, the less spammy maps

If this is a lame idea or not something worth implementing go ahead and delete this thread.

poof

Not a lame idea, but we tried this before. It didn't turn out well. Haha

The crowd is too small. I don't think we should split it. If one group of players did want to split off there are plenty of empty ONS servers they could crash.

Have some forgotten that DW was killed when OMNI merged the MTMU & the regular server? OMNI players ALWAYS played on the MTMU server and everyone else played on DW to play MasterBath, Gordon & TAL (at the time, TAL was not on the MTMU server)

OMNI Casual and OMNI competitive will not work and will kill the community. Casual play with ONS doesn't work - everyone who plays ONS is competitive, there is no casual play. No one in game will ask how you are doing. It's strictly game talk whereas freon at HoC is strictly casual where we talk get on Teamspeak and talk about life while playing, rarely if ever will you see that on OMNI. Competitive freon at HoC is when we run our winter tournaments which will start a week after Super Bowl sunday. UFC server run competitive TAM / Freon tournaments all the time.

talk about life while playing

I can't see how that works playing freon. Its so fast paced there isn't idle time like driving around in a tank that leaves plenty of time for chit chat. And there's no rule against having some friendly chatting during the game here. We ask that you be respectful during the game so as not to step on the game comms (which you really don't need in those small freon maps). We have this forum, facebook group and the discord channel (which no one really uses) for social chatting.

Join TeamSpeak & find out.

Why not just use the in-game voice chat? Does TeamSpeak have push-to-talk?

It doesn't help that the omni discord voice channels are locked.

Oh, and there is plenty of idle time when you are frozen heh.

Should we "unlock" them?

Oh yeah, I spend half the match frozen lol

Ugh, for real? I think you would be the first to complain about everyone spamming the in-game voice chat with topics other than game related stuff. Yes, TeamSpeak has push to talk and is preferred when playing.
