Hey guys, we now have a Discord server. In case you didn't know. Discord is a VOIP / CHAT platform. Makes finding a game and discussing issues with the group very easy.

JOIN UP. See you there!

I'm very happy to see the group grow. We're currently at 45 hard-core members ranging over various time-zones and skill levels. So, what's next? I wanted to take a bit of time to outline a rough roadmap of what I what is to come but before I do that:

Dante, the creator of the game has reached out to me and proposed helping with the group. Of course, I think that would be fantastic. There may be some caveats to that so I will hold off until we speak further and let you all know what the future holds.

I want this to become a serious league which in the future can potentially encompass other competitive and tactical VR games.

The biggest barrier to serious competitive play right now as I see it, is the following:

- Onward's technical audio glitches
- Onward does not currently have a way of inviting friends to your server or a creating a private server.

I'm sure these things will be ironed out in due time, until then here is what I envision for this group and league.

In the coming weeks, as people become more familiarized and the game improves I will begin holding trials and giving everyone a rank. Based on these ranks and randomization we will create several groups of teams. These teams will be a starting foundation for round-robin competitive play.

I hope to have a bulletin board with current team ranks and tournament stats on here as well.

Also, in the coming weeks I will begin surveying and polling members on their desire for tournament schedule and frequency.

Eventually, I would like to get to a place where there is serious competition, perhaps including a cumulative pot of prizes; based on everyone
buying into a specific tournament. For now however, we will simply do it for ranking and bragging rights.

That's all for now.

HAVE FUN AND SEE YOU ON THE BATTLEFIELD!

To say that I'm a fan of Onward would be a huge understatement. In general, I absolutely adore tactical, team-based online FPS games. Unfortunately at the moment most Onward servers get filled with people who either a) Have not watched the tutorial b) Think it's Call of Duty c) Don't use comms or understand the basics of Team-Play and strategy.

The most FUN I have had bar none is playing with a group who communicates and works together. When two high-level teams play together it's like a completely different experience.

Heart pumping, anxiety filling and incredible.
I want to create a list of hard-core players. From that list, we can create either random or static teams and have weekly tournaments. Maybe even a few times a week. Either way, we can add one another to steam and create more hard-core servers.

I've created a Google DOC. Please add your details if you're interested!
If anyone has any ideas on managing the teams, or how to setup the tournament. By all means post :)

I will also be creating and inviting people to a Steam Group, once this sheet is filled *
