griff38 Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Hello, I want to get together some regulars for a siege team. Siege is great fun but teams rarely work together. I want a team of 8 - 16 players who like to work together and have a high level of discipline. Respond to this thread or send a pm if you prefer.

Kurgan Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Are you starting a clan? I'm in Iowa on a DSL line. I love to play Siege, but I don't have the time that a clan would require (or that I'd want to devote to a clan). But if you just want somebody to play with semi-regularly, just let me know, sounds like a great idea. ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A loose group of folks who know how to play as a team when appropriate. At the least lets get together and do some siege my brother MaN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I haven't actually tried Siege mode yet. I did sit down and watch others play it for about 2 hours solid...to get an idea of the locations, the objectives, and some tactics. I'll start playing Siege soon, so when I get up to speed with it, I'd be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverhoodian Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I'm interested in being a part of this group. I know all too well what can happen if your team has nothing but glory-seekers and the clueless. With dedicated players, there could be some very good Siege games. Count me in! btw, my game name is {DH}Klayvid{Lt}, {DH} for Dark Horizons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastcoast2895 Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 this sounds like a great idea to me since the main thing keeping me away from clans are the schedules and what not. so how loose is loose. and if its really loose, u can count me in too cuz like Neverhoodian said sometimes i play and there ppl don't seem that directed and everyone is out for themselves.

Furious Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I'd be interested in this. I usually can play on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings (8:30 PM EST). Are we going to exchange emails? Let me know. Furious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I'd be interested, griff. I've only played a few games, and they have been fun, but they would be so much better if people weren't trying to play it like FFA and yelling, "STFU newb! Saber down = peace !!1!!1". An organized game sounds great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDKnite188 Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I used to play in a clan for Jedi Outcast FF Guns CTF, but the problem was the time and scheduling issue. This idea of a "loose group" just to have fun is great! Siege owns the day. Update us on the plans for this team. My alias is below in my signature. Does anybody know some good Siege servers? For CTFers "Extreme CTF" is a great server (name is incorrectly spelled though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurgan Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 I've spent a lot of time "teaching people the ropes" in Siege if I don't have enough people to play. So if you want some such lessons, drop by my server and I'll be happy to help you out if I can. Btw, you can add bots into your empty Siege game (they just jump around uselessly) if you want to practice the level. \addbot <name> <skill 1-5> <team red or blue> Usually a bot name of a character you know is on a map works (for example Rebel or Snowtrooper, on hoth or Rebel or Rodian, Trandoshan, etc on desert, Reborn or Jedi on Korriban) Once the round starts you can always kick allbots to get rid of the jumpy man if you want. Actually they will fight the enemy, but they stay in the "first objective spawn area" so once you complete the first objective, they will never ever get in the enemy's way. On Korriban they just jump into the lava and die. : p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Originally posted by Kurgan I've spent a lot of time "teaching people the ropes" in Siege if I don't have enough people to play. It is probably worth having some practice runs the first couple of times through. Making sure everyone knows the objectives would make games better in the long run...

StormHammer Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Originally posted by Prime It is probably worth having some practice runs the first couple of times through. Making sure everyone knows the objectives would make games better in the long run... I agree. Although there is a lot to be said for simply 'watching' other people play, if you've never tried the game mode before. As I stated above, I set aside a good few hours one evening to simply join a Siege server (one that was pretty full), and simply sat there as a spectator. By doing that, I learned the locations of all the key objectives, some tricks and tactics, and what 'not' to do in a given situation. It also helped to make it apparent some of the classes you really 'need' to play some of the maps effectively. I felt a lot more confident joining a game after watching other people - and I didn't even have to both reading the 'objective map', although it's a good idea to acquaint yourself with that too. I'm all for the idea of a group of people who want to play the game in a more professional manner. I mean, on one of the servers I joined, there were a coiuple of 'team-killers' floating around, and we had to keep kicking them off the server. It ruined the enjoyment of what would otherwise have been a great match. When I asked for someone to back me up when trying to get to the Infirmary on Hoth (via the tunnel, not the elevator)...I was pretty much ignored for a few minutes while my team-mates kept dying because TD's were raining on their heads from above. Earlier on in that same match, I'd got into the AT-ST and was trying to take down the shield-generator - but none of my team were keeping the DEMP-packers and rocketeers off my back, so I had to resort to trying to take those out first myself. I guess that's a classic case of people trying to do their own thing, and not working as a team to achieve the 'objective'. So I think it would be a good idea for people to share their views on particular strategies for tackling each part of a map, for one thing. Like watching a Tech's back as he hacks the panel to open the tunnel to the Infirmary. Or keeping the DEMPs and Rockets off the back of the AT-ST pilot, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediNyt Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 I love siege I think its the best game type but unfortunately there are only about 3 servers playing it at any one time and they mostly lag! I see people posting that they get 20 siege servers. How is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see people posting that they get 20 siege servers. How is this? If you are using the in-game browser, you will not see many servers available for any game type. Why this is, I can't say, unless it's a bug. Anyway, I use All Seeing Eye (can't remember the web address - just use Google to do a search) for finding servers to play on. It's a useful utility that can be used for all your MP-enabled games, not just Jedi Academy - and it breaks down the server lists into each game mode for you. I highly recommend it.

BloodRiot Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 I'm in if you want me. Mail me at bloodriot@netcabo.pt. I like to work as a team and I can be a tech for all i care. as long as other people are doing their work i can have fun as any honestly Siege is fun for me cuz I come from C&C Renegade as well... and C&C REN is a team multiplayer game no matter what... seldom or never actually will one gloryhound own everything. But a nice coordinated team would finish a map in just a few minutes. And It really got on my nerves seeing everybody buying the fighting classes and leave home base out in the open. I was usually a repairman... but even so It got on my nerves cuz with several keypoints to protect... if I was alone (and I was often alone) I could not hold out one keypoint against a good organized assault from demolitions experts and soldiers for backup...less more could i defend the entire base. Or you'd have the opposite... 75% of the peopel had technitians and the map could go on and on cuz although they couldn't destroy us.. our isolated assaults were inefective. On some games were the players seemed to be more in sync.. the gameplay was awesome. With good balance between classes, a few could guard the bases, and the others would assault and drive back opponents as well as taking techinitians along for repairs and healing on the battle front. SO hell yeah I think something not as formal as clan for ocasional games sounds like a great idea. I'd really luv to play a part there. Hope to ear from you guyz soon. Cheers.

StormHammer Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Yeah, when is this going to transpire? Anyway, now that I've had a chance to play the game a bit more, I find I'm tending to favour being the Assault class. I can switch to any class and have a go of it if need be (like switch to Tech to open a door if there's none on the team) - but I'm better at Assault.

Hekx Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 It sounds like a great idea. I play Siege all the time. I tend to opt for assault and explosives, and generally do suicidal attacks with det packs and mines. I'm quite familiar with most of the objectives on all three maps. I'm in.

Kengo Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Great idea man. I'm not interested in clanning any more, but a semi-organised siege get-together on a good server sounds like fun. The chance to blow Prime to pieces also appeals Count me in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
