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 onmy own experiences in TAW and input from others.
Sunday September the 27th at 10 PM CEST / 4 PM ESTYou 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.
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.
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.
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
Where to Start?
Recruiting
Retainment
Leadership
Team failure
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?
Hope to see you there and this presentation
is open for anyone in TAW to attend.
Welcome back to another edition of On the Horizon, a monthly update on the games Vanguard is keeping watch on for the near future.

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.
