Yes you are right, it is better to get used to the new version of the game between members of the same clan, before beginning any MP games interclan
Agreed, I think we will need a week or so, perhaps longer......but, I still have one big worry, the same one as always :
The "lobby"......or the no lobby !.
How are these games going to be orgainised ?.....I know from experience there is little point in trying to arrange a 3v3 game in advance, one of the six is almost certain to not be able to make it, people get mixed up with the time zones, RL gets in the way and in short, from lots of experience the only way to do this is for people to meet somewhere, see who is there, and arrange a game with the people
who are there.
In stream you can see which of your clan mates are there, you can see who else is there, if you need an extra person you can invite a none clan player, who may then join the clan later.......or you can check the chat box on the clan forum and see if someone else can join in - there needs to be a "meeting" place and it's getting very near the time we all agreed where that will be so that ALL mp players know where to go if they find themselves ready to play LGMP, regardless of what time it is.
For now my best suggestion is the LG steam group.
