What can we do to make visiting better?

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Sun Jul 29, 2018 9:18 pm

Hi community,

As SWAT 4 is a dated game, we are anticipating the release of "Ready or Not" which we aim to support from the start.

However, in the meantime, how do we make visiting |SOG| a better experience and destination?

What would YOU visit the website more frequently for?

Please let us know your thoughts.

This could be;

- Daily news & weather
- Gallery
- Upload section
- Better forum experience
- More arcade games

We look forward to hearing your views

Joining here just to have fun in game. And I do enjoy it very much. But... and I dont really like showing people their flaws. But in this community you have too little active SOG members that is just sad. We cant even organise VIP sessions anymore! As just few comin and we have to wait for public players to start. This is the core of community - its members. If you dont give a flag about it and dont join games here and there, community will fall apart. I know its sux to hear but this is how I see the main problem. Hopefully Ready or not will bring that spark back.

Agreed. Biggest issue in any clan/community. The activity of members ingame.

I personally strive to play at least minimum of weekly. That point however I feel will never improve in a community that has many older members who now have very different lives than back in 2006. Furthermore SWAT4 is a dated game not all enjoy like I do....

I think it is a very valid point. One I wish I could solve

Guilty on all charges. Between not having access to my original disks, not feeling like messing around for the custom server list.. and just generally not being in the mood for slow shooters really I've not come around to game.

I have, however, been lurking the forums daily.

Hello everyone,

Indeed, you are all right. Most clans suffer or atleast experience the same issue. With my old WC3 Clan coming to "practice sessions" was always something that started an hour later than planned or got cancelled because of attendency of members.

Anyway...

Yesterday I played like 4 or 5 rounds on the TSS Coop Server and after 10 years I enjoyed it much, even though I got rusty

Castner had some problems with the game and its settings as we all have had, but we managed to play a game toghether.

What do you guys think of doing 1 day per week or maybe 1 week per month like lets play Arma3 or something else?
People could vote what current coop/multiplayer game they'd like to play together with SOG?
Like a rotating special menue in some restaurants? Spanish, italian and so on to keep things fresh.
Maybe ppl would visit more often too see whats next and to be part of the selection process and ofc join us in gaming?

I know that there are some questions and stuff to be worked out, but there are many good f2p shooters/games or the ones which cost less than 10€ ...

Just a thought or brain storrming, maybe others have thought of it too.

Best regards
Fenix

Happy to, I enjoy playing with our SOG members in SWAT, and therefore I am sure I would in other games too.

I do fancy a game of Unreal Tournament after someone mentioned it the other day

When I am back from holiday, will look forward next week to playing with you again mate!

Unreal Tournament, sounds good and is quite the opposite of SWAT 4.
But I'm in.
Looking forward to some games m8.

Unfortunately I do not have those.

Right now, the current UT game is in pre-aplha and its free to play:

Did you guys try this one?
It reminds me alot of the original.
