Hi all and welcome to AAAA 2013 Match League
Well actually nothing here yet thats because we need to build it together
So where are we at well still trying to finish off 2012 AAAA League
So we are now pushing to finish off those matches but want to recap over the last 12 months on what we did, why we did it and so on - mainly because a lot of lessons learnt
So the 2012 AAAA Custom MAP FT OBJ League
Well we had done a couple of seasons on stock mohaa maps and at the time the active clans at the time voted on A) staying FT and going Custom as a fresh change....... some clans left half way through a few joined but overall it remained a small league with about 5 clans and still running lol but had some great matches on it and the custom maps that were selected by Dave Ubersoldier were a great set of maps and TBH if we end up picking say a Custom map League again would be more than happy to use those maps again..............
So lets cover some issues with the current 2012 League.
1) Custom maps
Well they were voted in and a few complained they were hard because they did not know them - We did create a custom match server open to all League clans to use as a practice server to get used to the maps (only a few used) I also created a map plan to show where all the maps and where the bombs were with screen shots.
2) Anticheat
Well this is broken down to two server side and client - voted in was MOHAAC and Reborn
So Server side Reborn most settings are on but some issues with FT format and monkey on back and other settings cause lag and other settings still in development and seem to cause problems BUT all due respect they have done an AMAZING Job on the Reborn patch - for me its something I never though we would see for MOHAA so it kind of rocks and my whole hearted respect to the amount of effort that has gone into that project
I think we got a great balance with the features we used from Reborn in anticheat and stability.
For MOHAAC - well we moved over as clearly we saw cheating still and UAC3 is a great anti cheat but a simple google on UAC3 will have you fully loaded with hacks to give you more holes in mohaa with UAC3 than a tea bag
Again MOHAAC was voted in very early and were many problems but from the offset again AMAZING what Steve Dellax had done and we chucked loads at him to help us run a league running it and OMG he gave us ALL we asked for........
The problems well you got like 6 if not more versions of MOHAA from UK,EU and US which caused a lot of validation issues then you players using Vista,XP,Windows 7 and now Windows 8 so thats added one BIG bag of ISSUES - But Steve has done an amazing job chpping through all those and also adding many many more features - I am like never thought I would see a patch now we got a brand new Client anticheat
For Above yeh some issues and many players refuse to use MOHAAC........mmm lets think Well I know for a fact that its stable and fast on XP as I run it on my own and my kids.........I know many players run it with Windows 7 and also Vista all ok........
So you kind of think the players that cant / wont well what you trying to hide yeh their are issues but so much info about the fixes and what to do - and when ever a post is made to MOHAAC forum it gets sorted so the bottom line EFFORT from players to get it sorted - I have seen so many of you help players run MOHAAC including myself so the ones that just say its crap and it dont work Grrrrrrrrrrr PUT the effort in
3) Format
Well dont see a problem here we can run a few different formats stock custom what ever as soon as there are 3 clans or more in a format we can start a league in that format
4) Rules
Again yeh the rules can be updated and changed and voted on by all
All I would say is (and seen it so so many times) IT ONLY TAKES ONE BAD CLAN MEMBER FROM ANY CLAN INCLUDING MY OWN TO ROCK THE BOAT AND CAUSE TWO OR MORE CLANS TO FALL OUT !! this sucks but its LIFE - Whats important !!! is the clans isolate the issue and play on its a GAME !!!
So look all this above is just some starting points on what we need to address none are show stoppers so while we finish off 2012 lol lets start inputting on what we all want from the AAAA League.................
We will have some meet ups on TS to have some fun a laughs and progress all this but I hope I can count on you all to ENJOY, HAVE FUN and INPUT your own ideas!!!
So what we ALL need to talk about
1)League Types currently I have these listed -:
Stock OBJ Freeze Tag
Stock OBJ
Sniper Only
We can add a few more - all we need is 3 clans or more to join any of these and we can start them
2) Anticheat Server side
Reborn Patch Server side - what settings - most clans now playing under 8 players so dont see a lag problem with turning all settings on ???
3) Anticheat Client side
Reborn client is coming and will have great anti cheat but NO date of release so this has to go on a back burner for now.
No point on UAC3 as yeh its better than nothing but to many holes
MOHAAC in my opinion yes - players need to make the effort and feed back on MOHAAC Forum !!!
Other - NO we WONT be looking at the new DMW!!! If it ever gets released - RIP off money spinning venture!!!!!!
3) Rules
Yep lots to update BUT lets not over complicate it !!! FUN and FAIR !!! http://www.mohaaaa.co.uk/AAAAMOHAA/content/aaaa-league-rules-2012-season-3 Current rules to revise and change.
4) Match format
Well lots we can look at here - I raised before but got out voted on Match returns - to speed up the Legaue run times only play any clan once - I do like the idea of playing a clan twice but here we are in 2013 with outstanding matches for all clans for 2012
The match round times and number of rounds - perhaps we should look at this also ??
Well loads more we can all chat about this is just to get us started on building a great FRIENDLY League we can all enjoy playing but yet have the DIVERSITY to suit the different game types on MOHAA !!
