The facts are cold and hard.

Euro pickups died when DMC quit ff.pickup when somebody (I won't even mention his name) pissed them off.

Let's not forget Kaizen is about the easist person to piss off in the entire universe of being a bitter, sad internet cunt the point still stands.

They all left overnight, and along with that we lost 6 active players, the only other active clan in euro ff and 3 active pickup admins.

Basicly when 2.4 (wich was a good patch with a lot of new content) was released there was a boost in players playng in public servers, clanners etc.
Wich led to to the UGC league thing bringing a lot new clans, then 2.4.1 was basicly a rushed failed patch that just removed features wich made some people quit ff.
Now with no new players no leagues and etc, theres no point to be in a clans or to form one. So no competition at all means less competitive gameplay like pickups.

But one thing is for sure the euro pickup scene is in the worst shape since its creation some years ago.
I have to agree with space there. The UGC league helped killing new clans, because you had super star clans vs newbie clans wich made them rage quit forever.

I think that theres a lot of players that just stick with ff hoping that it will grow up, but they see patch over patch not bringing new players. And just realize that they it will never grow so they abandon the ship. I dont want to be dramatic but i really think 2.5 will kill or revive ff.

I wouldn't say we're even trying to make 2.5 a make or break patch. It's more likely to be a gradual thing over a few patches.

How many years does that translate to? (Yeah I know, I'm being a smartass)

yeah you are. And I've got no time scale for you - there's never been one and I doubt there ever will be.

Yeah the UGC league was a difficult one. On the one hand, clans wanted some competition - some way to rate their performance, some official way of showing who was good, and how good, but on the other hand, no-one wants to play a really unbalanced game.

Without the league, clans are just playing friendly games with no real sense of purpose. With the league, clans often play unfair games.

The other problem was that a clan ranking wasnt representative of individual players - new clans often had some really good players and really bad players, and depending on who showed up on the night, changed the result dramatically.

Im an avid pickup'er...however UGC turned me off of FF for 6 months. Inactive players on my team, mediocre players on my team, failing highschool kid on my team... not my cup of tea.

I love the competitive play that pickups/leages bring, way more fun goal/teamplay oriented than pubs but also getting beat down in a clan isn't fun either... pickups are where its at for now. Leagues will come around again.

Bottom line: We need more active pickup players.

Join us. Ignore the shittalkers. Get better! And always have fun... if you're new to the game, play in the public servers until you learn all the basics.
