#24 Coaches Needed for Newbie Mix! in TF2 General Discussion
FzeroDrPloxoLet's just say you have to be High-Open or higher and you can coach.
sounds like a good way to put it.

That's not really a good way either. I've been playing this game forever but I haven't taken the game seriously since probably Crack Clan days. Does that mean I can't coach? The half a dozen times that I have coached, I would say that I helped as much as I could and even offered to stay after to talk to those that had more questions.

Obviously there would be some exceptions, I don't know you personally so I can't say, but just from the belief that you don't think you could ever done a better job as a coach,you probably don't have the best attitude for a coach.

RoodYmorningfox if you have under 2 solid seasons of esea, YOU SHOULDN'T BE COACHING PERIOD.

You can't measure someone experience/skill based off seasons played.

For sure obviously not, but someone who has 2 full seasons of ESEA has encountered much more situations involving team coordination and knowing what to do in specific situations then someone who plays highlander lobbies as his primary method of practicing. Sure you can be ridiculously good and never miss and be the best scout, but that's two completely different things then knowing what to do in specific situations.

Handpicking coaches would ideally be the best situation however setting up standards prevents friends who were previously coaches from getting mad at their friends for "getting cut from being a coach" because they are "unworthy".

Overall, newbiemix should be about having fun and learning how to play tf2 at a competitive level. This requires both enthusiastic and knowledgeable coaches.

#21 Coaches Needed for Newbie Mix! in TF2 General Discussion
huffmorningfoxAlot of the coaches are extremely unqualified, and are pretty much to skill level of alot of the noobies coming in. ....

At first newbiemix didn't have many players so it was ok to have random coaches who had a general idea of the game to coach but as it's growing to become as large as it has new players should not be coaching.
[/b]

I agree with morningfox. While I'm not necessarily a top open medic and don't have a full grasp of scout play, I have enough knowledge that I've learned to teach newbies, but there are some players who main scout or roamer and are at the same level as me, and they have no idea what they're doing when it comes to any class besides their main. I think what noona has been doing is good though pairing up 2 coaches who arent high open/IM per team.

While this isn't a definitive fix and the skill level of coaches needs to raise up, I think a guide for information per each class would be useful for newer coaches that I won't name and also possibly a "coach review" thread that newbies could submit their experience with different coaches so we can root out coaches who are notorious for acting rude/making bad calls in newbie mixes.

Well, the point in my opinion is not to be good enough to teach newbies, but good enough to teach anyone and or provide them with alternative ideas and counters to what they did. Sure scout is one of the classes where most problems can be fixed by just hitting meat consistently but there are many alternative routes or things top scouts would do to keep their team alive in a dying push rather than simply running out because of "lack of numbers".

#13 Coaches Needed for Newbie Mix! in TF2 General Discussion

Alot of the coaches are extremely unqualified, and are pretty much to skill level of alot of the noobies coming in. Obviously if you're in top open/IM/invite this isn't you. But there are some coaches with not even a season of esea or as little as 5-10 matches on esea. I don't even have a season of esea and my only experience is pugs and ugc plat 6s and hl and I know some of the calls being made are absolutely horrible. I've also had experiences where the coach either didn't say enough when he was very qualified to be talking, and coaches who have no idea what they are talking about micspamming the whole time telling the team to push mid with 2 players into the other teams 6 simply because we had 10% uber advantage.

At first newbiemix didn't have many players so it was ok to have random coaches who had a general idea of the game to coach but as it's growing to become as large as it has new players should not be coaching.
Long story short, if you have under 2 solid seasons of esea, YOU SHOULDN'T BE COACHING PERIOD. Sure, you might think you are good, but there's no sense trying to coach and feeding the newbies completely wrong information. BACKUP DOES NOT COUNT AS A SEASON, NEITHER DOES GETTING TRASHED CANNED

#7 Ping Jumpiness? in Off Topic

I don't know why wireless gets so much hate on this forum. Wireless isn't that bad unless you're in a networking environment with tons of other active network devices streaming data to your hub causing interference.

#30 Hey ESEA. The Viewers want a Rematch! in TF2 General Discussion
Saltysally1the problem with DDoS vs DoS is that there is very little you can do to protect yourself against DDoS, DoS is easy to stop because you simply set up your router to block an ip that sends X amount of packets in a certain time, usualy alot. DDoS however is sent from multiple ip's, and as long as the DDoSer has more available bandwidth then you do then you're screwed. Although like marxist said, if there is definitive evidence we can gather from these people then yes it is a felony.

No, setting up your "router" to block an IP through firewall won't do much or anything at all. Most of the the packets won't go to your router brah they will go to your modem. Even if you have a $1000 router you are not safe from ddos since your modem will end up eating all the packets and getting boned.

#12 New build in Hardware

If your case comes with built in gromits on the mobo pannel for cable management you should probably use them. Using zip ties is also a good tool for making cables which are poorly sleeved look a bit nicer. That tubing route from the h50 looks pretty awful too. Why the heck would you route your 8pin like that. Just some constructive criticism incase you build another rig.
