I'm also a west coast kinda guy. I lag horribly on east coast servers. They despise my existence.

So that's why you're always popping in and out!

Pretty much. This is why I'm so vehemently against punishments for leaving games. Server disconnects are intermittent in my case.

[Necro]

So everyone going to be here for open beta_
I feel that is a good time to start ripping up some people since we will have new things and such.

We could play this event too, there is plenty of time left to find a C class.

[Dread_Lord_Pitr]

I'm slowly getting my rocketeer up to speed, currently around lvl 8, almost up to 9.
I'm in Europe but because i mostly work nights, i tend to play on U.S. servers.

I'll be around during open beta, need to get my money's worth, playing wise, out of my Lieutenant package

[OdinTheWise]

I am in, I mostly am a berserker guy rite now, bit I am very vercitile.  I haven't played enough to level anything up to anything significant yet though.  I usually can get on around 9:30 pm eastern

[Necro]

I got my mic problem fixed so i have that now also

[Sinj]

East coast and yes will be here for OB.

I wish I could find decent matches been hard to level since I hit 11 : /

[Nymphs]

I'm assuming that any organization has been failed at this point. However, before open beta, I think it would be most difficult to get into a match with all of us or a majority of us there. That being said, I feel that the best time to have arranged matches would be in Open Beta.

Anyways, the only things I have to say furtherly is that I hit level twenty. I only say that for Necro to edit the topic with. Lastly, I assume for everyone to play together, we're going to have to take things more seriously with scheduling. Rather, actually schedule.

[Necro]

Don't count me out yet as a competent scheduler/forum updater xD

I've updated OP with the amount of skill we have in each mech. I've taken out the levels because I realized it's really not that big of a difference regardless. I've added the availability to those that have said something and also the server they play on. If something is missing please post it.

It looks like we mostly have east/west coast people wanting to play and one person in the EU but he plays US servers so that cool.
We will have to find out if east or west gives us the best chance at having good ping for every player.

Not sure what a good comp is yet but we can play some things. it's also dependent on the modes and maps.

an even team would have to be as follows.

A class:
Nymphs - Scout
Odin - Berserker

B class:
Sinj - Assault
Conquistador - Bruiser

C class
Necro -  Brawler
Dread - Rocketman

This would by no means be our best bet tho because this may not be everyone favorite/best class to play and what not.

[Necro]

Also we need a name

[Conquistador]

Did quanzen opt out for the assault role_

[OdinTheWise]

We should name it "the coalition"

[Necro]

Well he said no thanks after i told him the team management was gonna be done on this thread, don't know why but it's cool.


and i'll put everyone's suggestions for names on the front page

[Conquistador]

I may be thinking of opting our myself because of problems mentioned earlier with east coast matchmaking and server latency. You guys deserve someone from the east coast to fill my spot, seeing as all of the rest of you are east coasters.

But do keep me as a backup B class. For now, I'd be happy to play bruiser for you guys.

Edited by Conquistador, November 30 2012 - 12:46 PM.

[Nymphs]

Name suggestions:

House Steiner

Cossacks

The Nerf Herders

Bantha Fodder

Variations of these names would be fine, I just threw random names out there.

Also, although I may be persistent with this question, would we be able to schedule a time to play before CB3 ends_

I happen to be a west coaster as well, comrade.

Keep in mind i'll probably have a worse ping than you, considering the distance between me and the east coast.
The amount of hops my connection makes are probably astounding.

[Necro]

I'm central the the amount of ping difference I get is minimal.

So, how about this saturday or this Sunday at 6 or 8 PM Central time_
(i think that's around everyones play time not sure)

We can try both a west coast server and an east coast server.

Also I added my name ideas, when we get a few i'll make a poll.

[Dread_Lord_Pitr]

Name suggestions, because i can : Blackwater Inc. or Blackwater LLC. (not very serious, but i thought it was funny considering that we sort of are the Blackwater LLC of Hawken).
A warning about using House Steiner; there is someone starting a Clan by that name, they might not appreciate us hijacking it like that.

Also, my time zone is GMT+1, so i am 7 hours ahead of central, and i generally start to play from around 16:30-17:00 central, or  23:30-0:00 GMT+1 (because that's about when i've started at work), and tend to play for about 6-7 hours from that point onward, sometimes a bit longer.
So 18:00-19:00 central on Saturday would be best for me.
I'll also try to add everyone who's in to my in game friends.
