#19 Newbie Mixes in Events
hookyNoonaScootsIt'd be nice if they were an option though, last weekend most of the servers -only- had Granary, Badlands, and possibly Gullywash.
A lot of people in the mix wanted to do `anything but these three again` but that's all we had.
The tragic servers have been amazing in every other aspect, but more map selection options would be nice :]
We only teach the newbies strictly Badlands and Granary. These are the two bread and butter map of 6s. Once knowledge of these maps have been acquired by the newbies, they can move on to other pugs to experiment with other maps.
I would say Process would be a good map to include, as it's basically up there with those two. However, it's a custom map and it would be best to not deal with that.

It is very difficult to explain rollouts on this map to newbies.

#3 Newbie Mixes in Events

As of now, Newbie Mixes are every Saturday from 9 PM - 12 PM EST. Perhaps in the future there will be Newbie Mixes Friday AND Saturday, but as of now, only Saturday.

#63 Coaches Needed for Newbie Mix! in TF2 General Discussion
snacksNoonapocket or medic and only a last resort to demo.ok here's whats wrong with that: pockets can completely dm carry a game as much or even more so as a a demo or another class. have the coaches go medic or spec, though i prefer spec to be able to watch everyone at least some of the time. i'm currently coaching/mentoring a team and going spec is 100x more useful than actually playing any other class. the whole idea of actually coaching is not playing the game, rather staying on the sidelines and giving the players tips while they play. defy outlined this perfectly too, don't be too overbearing by telling them EVERYTHING they need to do, rather, let them make most decisions, point out the mistakes, and provide further pointers of alternative options and things they may have not considered doing. what i feel is most wrong about the mixes is that the coaches aren't coaching, but just playing. spec or medic i say, though spec is a lot more helpful for the flank.

This is the ideal situation for us, and what we want; We do not have enough coaches that are willing to do so. In my response to jaguarfiend, I say that any coaches that wish to spec are not only welcome to, but they are encouraged to do so. The problem with putting a coach on only medic, if he/she doesn't want to spec, and it happens that medic is the coach's main, we have a problem. Drafting the mixes, we prioritize putting less experienced newbies playing a class that the coach mains. That being said it is ok for a medic main to play medic in a newbie mix; It is not like they are going to carry their team of newbies.

If we were to restrict the coaches to only medic, what becomes of the of the newbies added as medic? Of course there will be coaches that will go spec, but the majority of coaches won't. This is a significant loss in play time for the medic newbies. I understand how a coach on pocket can carry as much as a demo, but we can regulate the coaches role as a pocket.

I truely do appreciate your input snacks, but unfortunately there is never a perfect solution; I am doing the best I can. Perhaps you can drop into one of the Newbie mixes and we can here some more feedback :)

#56 Coaches Needed for Newbie Mix! in TF2 General Discussion
JaguarFiend TL;DR - Coaches too often dm-carry their teams instead of actually working with their newbies. Coaches should have to play medic, or (even better) be a spectator and guide their teams without being on the field with them.

We will no longer be having scout/roamer coaches, and only if it is absoloutely needed, demo. In your situation, that was bad on the drafter's job for not putting both coaches on similar classes, and I apologize for unpleasant experience. Coaching in spec is what the older newbie mixes have done, but many coaches want to be playing along side with their newbies, since it may be boring for the coaches in spectator. If there are any coaches that wish to coach in spec, please tell me and we will pair you against a coach that wishes to do the same.

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

Hello everyone~

Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention; Prior to this thread, I was unaware of the mass amounts of misfit coaches, only in small groups, where I immediately tended to the issue(s). This response is going to clarify some things about getting coaches, coaching, solutions for the future, and the other topics addressed in this thread.

Since I am one of the newer faces in the tf2 competitive community, I cannot recognize good to bad coaches as easily as others can. As a former newbie, I trust the coaches that have provided me with good advice, improving my game. These are the coaches I will refer to when appyling a new coach. Ex: Marxist, Phrakture, Pie_hero, Dobb, Reilly, etc... To become a coach you must have a MINIMUM of a GOOD (meaning a positive W/L) AND to be approved by one of the coaches above. There is a 'Newbie Mix Coaching Guide' for newer coaches that wish to improve on their coaching here: -> http://pastebin.com/Np2FKihm <- Big thanks to dobb for putting this together! This will take care of the issue of inexpereinced coaches, and if this problem persists in the future, more precautions will be taken.

To improve the coaching process: We will now restrict coaches to the pocket or medic and only a last resort to demo. This will eliminate the coaches ability to 'carry' their newbie team by solely dm'ing it out. One thing that all coaches have to keep in mind during mixes, is that the pugs are not meant for your team of newbies to win; they are meant to teach the newbies to the best of the coaches abilities.

We will no longer have two coaches per team. Having two coaches per team, putting one on the combo, and one on flank, is not an enjoyable experience for newbies, since the coaches dm are often greater than that of the newbies.

TL;DR - We are improving the overall quality for newbies and coaches, and regulating coaches and the coaching process. If you have any further feedback or questions, respond on this thread or add me here: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Groovy_Noona/

PurpleShirtDo newbie HL mixes exist?

As of now, they don't, or at least to my knowledge there aren't. Perhaps we can do some in the future but getting coaches would be a difficult job since anyone can go in plat. It would have some special drafting system for coaches that I am too lazy to think of.

To keep it short, and answer your question: No, there aren't any HL Newbie Mixes.

#31 A new broeselhud update is in the works! in TF2 General Discussion

Doesn't look that much different from the original version, but that's perfect since I use it 24/7. Do you mind if I recommend/advertise this hud to the newbies from the Newbie Mixes? This is a great hud for starting comp.
