TF Live teams support

[!--quoteo--][div class=\\\'quotetop\\\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\\\'quotemain\\\'][!--quotec--]We are considering teams in the future. Specifically 2v2v2 and 3v3.[/quote]

Looks like TF live will eventually have some proper teams support, I'm excited. There isn't really any Tetris games out right now that have a good teams system.

Interesting, but that won't be enough to make up for TTC taking down BB if they do :/ And why specifically 2v2v2 and 3v3.. whats wrong with 2v2

So if they think about working on it now we might see it in a few months?

It's all just another small step before Tetris will be at the 2016 Olympic games...

Judging by the diligence of the developers and the care they exhibit in their responses on the Twitter feed and the forums I believe that there is a good possibility that they will try to incorporate all of those features before beta period is over. Of course since the game is rather polished as it is and only needs a few adjustments before a release is doable, they could just add it later on. Either way, I'm inclined to believe that we only have to wait a few more weeks before some form of Team play is introduced.

You must be new to this Tetris Friends thing. :s

I think we need a chart of how long certain changes took. Adjustable DAS took a year and a half to surface after I was told it would be in the next build, and it is still only usable in a beta mode. Getting IRS/IHS _re-added_ took about as long. Even some game breaking bugs such as the locking soft drop bug Survival had took a couple of weeks to get fixed.

Sometimes they get updates pumped out quickly, other times you have an excruciating wait ahead of you. More often, one should expect the latter.

Either way, a team function would certainly add a new dimension to TF gameplay. I've never been a fan of FFA type matches in any games, and I'm sure many of you feel the same way.

Kitaru is definitely on point about the near-certainty that we won't be seeing these additions for some time - let's at least hope that when the additions do make their debut they are solid and don't require any further patches/debugging.

Oh, and someone invite me to a team.
