Will organizations be able to arrange for two opposing teams of predetermined members to play against one another without random players?asked by Shafto
TL;DRThe team wants to support arranging pre-set teams, with a party leader and moderators moving players between teams, and hopes to add custom settings, since orgs relied on this.
Yeah, so this leans into the whole "we want to do better with the private matches." So the almost obvious thing is letting you arrange your teams beforehand. So we've got the idea of you've got a party leader, you've got moderators that can help switch people between teams and whatever. And then you've obviously got the members that join. And then for right now, we've got that team organization. And we're hoping to get some custom settings in and expand upon that. But yeah, bringing back org content to private matches is such a big thing for us because we knew how much orgs used it. We saw the weekly posts on Spectrum like, hey, we're running an org event. Who wants to join? And as soon as the private lobbies went down, that went away. And I'd get pinged constantly about, hey, when are we getting them back for that specific use? And we really want to start accommodating that again.
Yeah, because basically the competitive scene basically shut down without private matches, without being able to customize the match parameters. And it's something that we always want them to be able to have within AC, because ultimately the PU is a multiplayer experience. AC is played best in multiplayer with friends, and we want that to be as easy as possible. And honestly, being able to set up your own little scenarios, I think that's really cool.
