Comedian — While it has mostly gone unnoticed to the European community, CommFT and eXtv are organising a community highlander discussion at 21:00 CET.
Attending will be Free and jinn from CommFT, eXtine and Mikal from eXtv, Bubblebobbler, INF, hein and forn from UGC, Comedian from VanillaTV, Hildreth from ETF2L, Agro and Ruskeydoo from KritzKast, wm from Ozfortress and last but not least, dubel from CEVO to discuss the fine points of Highlander and everything surrounding it.
The plan is to have around 1 hour talking about the various questions, after which it will turn into a public chat where we will be taking from you, the community. Of course, like always, there is the risk of overtime, so dont take this schedule too closely to your heart, especially not with so many people attending.
you can listen to the discussion in the eXtv Mumble Server (dal.eoreality.net:64760) or tune in to eXtelevision for the stream. Read more for the The panel questions and details.
here are some of the panel questions from the post on the CommFT forums
- In your opinion, what is the defining characteristic of Highlander gameplay? In other words, what is the one thing–more than all other things–that defines Highlander as itself? Why?
- How competitive should Highlander get? At present, ESEA and its LAN have nothing to do with Highlander, but recent events, tourneys, and the booming UGC league indiciate a large participation base in Highlander. Should there be a LAN with Highlander included? Should cash prizes and other incentives be offered? Why?
- A topic of hote debate during the CommFT HL Tourney and the current UGC league has been the Wrangler. Some say it’s OP and should be banned, while others say that it’s fine and that teams need to work around it. Where do you stand on this issue as regards the Wrangler? Why?
- What (if any) are the most serious problems facing the Highlander community? From where do these problems stem and what are some possible solutions?
to close off, i think extine puts it best:
Looking forward to this discussion. I think it’ll be beneficial to the highlander community, and give us a good road map for going forward.
