TEAMZ Thread


Recommended Posts

What is TEAMZ?

TEAMZ is a friendly, yet competitive, impromptu Time Attack event where a group of players are split up into equally sized random or drafted teams. Each team will generally have around 10 minutes to prepare, before spending an hour or so TAing a random quest. Obviously, the team with the best time at the cutoff is the victor.

TEAMZ emphasizes quick planning and coordination between party members that may not be familiar with each others' playstyles. Additionally, the quest selected may be unfamiliar to the players; this forces players to learn new quests and tests each player's ability to memorize enemy spawns in a time-constrained environment.

How to get involved?

We have not settled on any kind of regular schedule yet, but we welcome any newcomers to get involved and give it a try. To get involved simply join our discord group:

// Side notes //

-This thread moving forward will only be meant for TEAMZ that happen on Ultima server. I think for the most part we will only ever play on the normal mode server and NOT the sandbox server.

-A LOT of TEAMZ matches have been played on the Vanilla meta (over 200 now), and towards the start and middle of that it was quite common for the winning team to set the actual TA record for whatever the quest of the session may have been. This would set the bar for future players to know what time to beat, as TEAMZ is not meant to be proper TA. This phenomena no longer really happens as Vanilla PSOBB sees a lot of play and the times have largely become too fast to be beat in TEAMZ (still possible). This however is NOT the case on Ultima. We are a fresh canvas waiting to be painted so often the winner of the TEAMZ session will be also a new record holder!

Today we had our first ever 4v4v4 (we’ve been doing this for a few years). We managed to do 2 rounds one hour each with 15 unique players throughout the session in addition to NDW commentating. TEAMZ has been giving me an experience that other ways of PSOing haven’t. Today we had 13 players in VC and that’s amazing to me. Never seen that for a PSO chat before.

dont be afraid to join in or ask questions if you have any. TEAMZ can see hard to get into by perspective but its really not. We have many new players involved. Even if you dont win, its still a really fun experience. Feel free to pm me on discord if you have any questions. bmode #7810

Last night was the first ever 4 vs. 4 TEAMZ on Ultima (3 years later). 

 

We randomly rolled a pool of 5 quests and randomly scrambled 8 players into 2 teams of 4. From there a captain was randomly selected from each group to remove quests from the pool until only 1 remained. This is not the format that all TEAMZ sessions will follow, but it was a mix of the random aspect with a bit of competitive edge in regards to quests drafting. Our quest pool started as: MA4B, Lost Hell Pal, Endless Nightmare #2, Phantasmal Word #3, and Mop-Up Operation #4. We wound up playing Mop-Up Operation #4.

Another 4 vs. 4 in the books, well played everyone. We have the TEAMZ bot in the channel now, which really smooths things out in regards to quest pools and quest banning.
