    How to Build and Rebuild a Team (Revised Date)

    How to Build and Rebuild a Team

     

     

    Hello everyone!

    Dreamus here and I am happy to announce the first Presentation I am

    looking to hold on How to Build and Rebuild a Team.

     

    This is something I have been working on for a while and is based on
    my own experiences in TAW and input from others. 

     

     

    This Event Will Be Held On:

    Sunday September the 27th at 10 PM CEST / 4 PM EST

    You can find the time in your own timezone on the event here:

    http://taw.net/event/151948.aspx


    There is a channel created under Vanguard channels in TeamSpeak for

    where the Presentation will be held.

     


    How Will the Topic Be Presented?


    This is not a class that will explain different methodologies on

    leadership, scientific methods, etc but instead presenting

    the topic more directly towards how it applies in TAW.

     

     

    Do You Get to Share Your Own Experiences?


    Absolutely!

     

    The thought of this is to give first a general presentation about the topic
    and then open it up to discussion where we can talk about any of the subjects

    in more detail. 


    So feel free to write up some questions either beforehand or during the presentation or

    some experience you would like to share.

     


    What Makes Me Qualified to Talk About This? 


    I don't claim to be an expert on the topic and humble in that I am always learning more

    and more on this topic. I have gathered some experience during the past years

    about this topic though and I hope some of it might be relevant and

    something those that attend can learn something from.

    Having been part of Starcraft leadership for multiple years, being a CC in 5th Corps for a year

    and now spending about 1,5 years in Vanguard while also rebuilding PUBG during one of those

    I would think I would have picked up a thing or two Cool

     

     

    Key Points

     

    Where to Start?

     

    Recruiting

     

    Retainment

     

    Leadership

     

    Team failure

     

     

    Conclusion

     

    I am quite looking forward to hold this presentation, lets us also make a deal. I will

    try my best to be entertaining and you attempt to not fall asleep, deal? Cool

     

    Hope to see you there and this presentation

    is open for anyone in TAW to attend.

Teams will advance their frontline by destroying the enemy and making successful bombing runs on the capital ships, all while protecting their own as well.

    Elite Dangerous - Interest Blog

     

    Elite Dangerous, developed and published by Frontier Developments, is a space flight sim game, where players can pilot various spaceships, and explore a realistic, 1 to 1 representation of the Milky Way galaxy.

     

    The game, released in alpha back in 2013, features an expansive and persistent universe, where the actions of players affect the narrative of the game. Players are able to earn money via various activities, such as mining, bounty hunting, couriers missions, etc, and use said money to upgrade their ships, buy newer ones, and explore more of the galaxy, which is some 400 Billion star systems.

     

    In addition to all that, players are also able to land on suitable planets, and explore using their land vehicles, and soon, they will be able to do that on foot as well. Frontier is hoping to release their newest expansion, Odyseey, in Janyarury 2021. This new expansion will allow players to explore these worlds on foot, and undertake missions, in order to earn currency and faction favor. This will all be playable in Multiplayer as well, with pilots finally being able to interact with one another, marking a big milestone in the timeline of the Space exploration game.

     

    In addition, players are able to use their compatible VR headsets to explore space, with HOTAS support fully included, making for one amazing adventure! (Note: Odyssey will not feature VR support)

     

    Vanguard is looking to add this game into the Horizon Division, and is looking for any members wishing to help. For more information, contact any of the Vanguard staff, or fill out a Vanguard Interest Form.

    New World - Interest Blog

     

     

    New World, developed and published by Amazon Game Studios, is a massive multiplayer online RPG, set to release earlier this year, but was delayed in order to insure better launch and quality control.

     

     

    Set on the fictional world of Aeternum, players are called to fight an ancient evil seeking to erase humanity of its shores. Players will be able to explore an open world map, and will be tasked to venture out alone, or with others, to explore the dangerous world and all the mysteries it holds. Using skills and abilities, from ranged attacks to magic, players will be able to choose their own play-style, and equip weapons and gear to fit that style.

     

     

    Players will also be able to create and command their own-in-game companies, consisting of craftsmen, soldiers, traders and more importantly, leaders, who will guide it to success over others. Land can also be conquered and held, allowing companies to grow much faster, or until a rival company attacks! This will come in form of the game's PvP mode, War Mode,  where players will launch large scale battles for the control of territories, where 50 attack, and 50 shall defend, using an arsenal of weapons and defenses, all purchased via in game quests and tokens.

     

     

    With the preview ending tonight, developers are looking for the next round of testing in November, and launch sometime next year.
