Dude, v20 LAN appeared to be kinder unorganised. The competitions I did not hear or where not presented as well as they should. People were also getting up all over the place receiving prizes? Still had a fantastic time.

The competitions were unorganized because steam decided to update the most commonly played games on the day, as well as the client itself which pretty much everyone at the venue had.

Not to mention they had staff running around attempting to fix the issues as fast as they could.

Was a good spawn.

Hey Yall,

By now your back at home, looking at that pile of gear you took going "i really cbf putting that back on my desk, i'll deal with it in 3-6 months" (i know i am, and deliberately ignoring the pile of junk in my boot also).

So you lanned, you played some games, tried to win a comp and then nommed on food/drink.

Tell us what you think? Both the good and the bad. Tell us the "10-4 of the event" from your eyes.
Don't go breaking our hearts <3 we're gentle people with feelings too wink.gif

Do you have a super awesome idea that would make Respawn more awesome?

Tell us all right down below! (press reply)!

Thank you!

Jeffy

Oh my GOD!

The music! What was with the 3 second long technoloop.mp3 playing for the ENTIRE LAN?

Drove me mental. I'd rather listen to Rebecca Black on repeat.

My ears need to be soaped out.

Other than that, very good experience.

Competitions seemed a little unorganised this time around. How many 'fun comps' were there exactly? The only one I remember is the MS Paint one. If there wasn't much, maybe there should be more?

Other than that I had a good amount of fun as usual.

All three regular fun comp organisers were absent this LAN. Attempts were made to organise contingency plans without putting an unreasonable extra load on our already busy team, but unfortunately there was very little interest in helping out. sad.gif

Steam was a slut and again that is not the fault of the Admin team it is valves.


Unfortunately all the comps got delayed but i assumed this would be the case as it most always is. I ended up playing in COD4 and had no clue as it was the first time ive ever played COD4 Competitive, still came 3rd >:). One thing i wasnt impressed about was the fact that there was no lights out..... it was fucking 4am and still no lights out, wtf!!

I enjoyed having the lights on the whole event. Though I did sleep for about 4 hours. Loudest snoring from a female ever up there to btw. Network was good as usual, great job to the guys who set it up every time.

Dominated Tron, had some great battles though. Admins were definitely stressed out so cant blame them for any short comings. As always I had a great time and im already looking forward to the next.

My personal thanks go out to Jeffy, who tried really hard to get the TF2 comp running as soon as he could. It was greatly appreciated.

I found this to be a most underwhelming respawn lan. If this event is any indication it is quickley going the way of shafted. Bit of a shame. The polaristation of the 4 groups at the lan was not a good sign.

Admins: Just seemed to do there thing and help who was in trouble.

Pro Gamers: Not a real fan of these polo shirt types at a lan if i see more showing up it will be the death of respawn.

Casual Gamer: They looked like they were enjoying a wide range of games. Did not see to many comps run for them bit of a shame as they are the majority type for the lan. I saw Flatout tron and UT run for them Sat night and quake3 run sun morning with like 8 people. If these ppl are not looked after I wonder how long the lan will last.

Leechers: Well we leeched and had a good time network was fast and stable. Not much of a incentive for us to play any of the casual games. Might be a good idea to give prizes away at random for the Casual Comps and not simply for first place to try and get us to play some games.

Just out of curiousity, was every seat filled at v20, or was there some empty spaces (not including prepaid seats). I was all set to attend, but a death in the family put a dampener on that.

Just wondering what needs to happen to entice more people to come along.

Absolutely what about us gamers (you know, the majority of Respawn) who game for fun and not competitively? Sorry, I don't play CoD 24/7 so I can "pwn n00bs".

The pro team came, made a fuckload of noise, and left when they got their money. No input to Respawn whatsoever.

The biggest problem was of course at 3am the lights were on and all anyone could hear was UNST UNST UNST UNST UNST from the looped 3 second music clip.

Music was rubbish, people clearly did not like it so why was it kept going?

The whole event i had to keep one eye on the fools with those nerf guns so i did not cop one in the eye.

Average event.

I came at 6PM after I finished work with my brother, and I had to wait about 15 minutes before I could get 2 adjacent seats, there was only maybe 3-4 single seats left in the venue at that time. Thanks to the girl that left when she did sitting next to priorax, you saved the LAN for my brother and I lol biggrin.gif

It's a shame about the steam issues.. valve like to be inconvenient pricks don't they with regards to respawn heh, aside from that there were no issues in getting any games going, the SC2 was nice on Sunday afternoon - I'm hoping next time if people want to play SC2 that they bring their 3G sticks beforehand and something can be organised earlier smile.gif (or the unthinkable happens and blizzard implement lan mode hah)

I may be alone or in the minority in this but a "no bloody screaming out loud at the top of your voice after 3am" rule would be nice, trying to get a few hours of shuteye above the lan was a little difficult thanks to a select few, maybe next time I'll just bring earplugs

The BBQ was excellent as usual, starting up at just the right times, thank you guys smile.gif

This is nothing on the running of the event but just a personal observation on the respawn crowd - the chat in the file program that shalt not be named was (unsurprisingly?) infantile and ridiculous, but with people getting riled up about it was really, really stupid imo. I have never seen this at any other lans I've been to in 8 years, although its been close to 18 months since I've been to a respawn- people actually threatening eachother with violence and even acting on it, can't you guys treat each other with a bit more respect and a bit less animosity? (hint to the server runner: implement some wordfilters or something :/) (real admins: don't take this criticism to heart)

Power and network were top notch as usual
I may or may not add to this later but these are my thoughts on this weekends lan, thanks for the well run event smile.gif

file server chat is the best thing about Respawn.

Polo shirt professionals are definate mood dampeners too. They remind me of the bad guys in a sporting movie.
