Sensai

@ sephfire: I agree. It's getting much harder to play Engineer and Spy as the general population gets smarter. Attention: due to the silly amount of pyros about, I decided last night to stop playing Pyro for a long while. I'm tired of there being 4 Pyros and feeling guilty about playing it.

DOH! I am seriously having a lot of trouble reading now-a-days...man. Thanks for pointing that out.

I'm also going to say that I dislike Warpath. That being said, since maps are only around for 15 minutes now-a-days, it's not going to kill anybody to play any map for 15 minutes.

YAHOOOOO /sings and dances

No sense of teamwork in Arena? I disagree fully. Play with any of the ZUZ guys and you'll hear teamwork in that they'll tell you exactly where everyone is and exactly what they're seeing, etc. That being said, I think that it was done a bit poorly. The fact of the matter is, there's NO reason for there to only be 8v8. It should absolutely go higher. Also, crits should either be lessened a TON or taken off all together. BTW: when are we going to try Zephyr's map? I really wanna play it with other people.

You guys know that I love Arena. That being said, the majority of the people on the server seem to have some kinda...I dunno, hatred for it. We had JUST started arena_well and pretty much everyone RTVed. I figure if we just have an arena every 5 maps, that'd be fine with me and would be a small enough number for the people who don't like it.

No, there's definitely no way to make everyone happy, and that's just simply unrealistic. That's not what I meant at all. The guys I'm referring to as 'dumb' are the ones who join a game and do NOTHING but heal heavies, thinking that's the best plan. That's just silly. If you're heavy's sitting at 450 health and you got a lit-up scout right next to you, about to die...who would you heal? Answer this question with the heavy, and you fall under a category I like to label as dumb. Also: I really like Zephyr's map. If you haven't done so already, you should download it and look over it, as it's really damn cool.

Hm, glad to see you back bonzai. Hopefully, this means we'll have someone who plays medic, meaning some random idiot who only heals the heavy won't have to. Gah. Some medics are just fuckin' stupid.

I forgot that V was the letter most people hit for mics...that's weird, haha. :-/

@ Powerlord: Jeah, I've had it for a long while too and to me Gold Rush isn't old either. But I couldn't think of anything else since if I had said Dustbowl, I woulda been crucified 'cause that map is apparently everyone's favorite thing ever. I guess I coulda said Gravel Pit or something like that. /shrugs

I agree with Bleck here: it seems silly to remove map choices, especially popular ones like 2fort, Goldrush, etc simply because they're 'older.'That being said, I would like to see some newer ones in the RTV menu. Or at least let us nominate them.

Still wanna throw a vote in for cp_castle. It was so much fun when I played it a long time ago. @ Zephyr: I'm game. Any new map, that's fine by me. About RTV/Arena: I really like Arena, as I'm sure it's known. So, when we switch to Lumberyard (which is an AMAZING map that should be elected president of the world), it kinda irks me that any random person could type RTV and pull up a vote. Although, it woulda been fine...if the requirements for a map weren't so damn low. If anyone could type RTV and then people could vote 'current' or 'no' or something like that, that'd be cool. Or, if I could just throw away my vote to a map I know wouldn't make it...but if everyone thinks like this, there is no map that we can throw away too. All of that being said, I think having 8 people type RTV is a little much. We were stuck with a BROKEN team on gravelpit tonight 'cause no one would type RTV. I was stuck on a shitty as hell team in Turbine 'cause it took 20 minutes to type RTV. Short version: 8 people for RTV is too much. 1 person for RTV is fine if I can vote against changing map but not good if I can't. arena_lumberyard is the best thing ever. Crits are dumb.

zircon...you bring up some good points. I'll have to reread it now with that in mind, haha. I guess I didn't read it as carefully as I thought I had to begin with. I just done playing a little bit (an hour, tops) and I need to restate this: The amount of crits we see are silly.

Well hot damn! I've been living my life without knowing these things. Thanks!The first one is a really interesting read and describes it pretty perfectly. Thanks a ton.

Y'know, I hear this every once in a while and I'm completely unsure how people came to this conclusion. Unless it's something that I just didn't read somewhere along the way...

Was coming to edit my post with my real thoughts, but I'll just respond now. In truth, I think that crits are a good thing too. You're right in the fact that they add a little bit of uncertainty to the game, which is good (a la crits in RPGs or natural 20s, etc). The fact that Soldier's shoot crits about 20% of the time and said crits can kill just about anyone in a hit...that's silly. I know they're usually easy to avoid, but...seriously. If the overall occurrence of crits went down, that'd be fine with me. If they completely disappeared, I'd probably miss them, truth be told. That being said, I'd love for them to go away in Arena. Nor will I ever stop bitching about them, haha.

I'm pretty damn sure Pyros and Soldiers are the two most busted classes in the game. I think it's funny how Pyros went from the worst class (again, IMO) to the best class with that update...Soldiers have always been good. Seriously, crit rockets suck. And in Arena, even more so. They're so fuckin' stupid. And speaking of Arena, I gotta say that Snipers are the things that make me scared the most, next to Spies. If you're a good Sniper, or Spy, then that's a 1 hit kill on almost anybody... But, anyways: crits are dumb. Discuss.

Bonzai, where have you been, anyways? I know where Rambo and Ducky vanished too but you just up and left. I'm not sure when I'm playing again (can't this weekend, going to school on Tuesday, classes start Thursday), but I'll see you all eventually. And may god have mercy on the brave souls who play tomorrow.

Account name being the thing I use to log in? That would be Antrae. Nick name being what people see me in the server as? That'd be LGD|Sensai. Sensai's fine if you'd rather that, though. /shrugs and <3s

Nope...looks pretty good to me. Also, on a serious note, why am I STILL not listed as an OCR player on the first post? Makes me all kinds of sad. ((( See!? FOUR mouths sad!

Oh no, I knew you were joking. Or at least, I thought you were...glad I was right, as it woulda been bad had I been wrong. I just bank on you being funny, in a non-serious way...which is definitely cool. Some people take this game WAY too seriously.Welcome back, regardless. Glad to see you. /agreedSeriously...it's 2 minutes at ABSOLUTE most that you're sitting out. Just deal with it and try to learn something from someone who's better at you at whatever class you're interested in (Watching [ZUZ] Vahn Paktu or whatever play Scout is amazingly interesting, IMO). Dammit, why can't I stop laughing at this?@ Bleck: The problem with free weekends is the fact that you get a billion and six people who are ABSOLUTE SHIT at the game running about like crazy. I mean, it's fun in that chaotic who gives a shit way, but....it gets on your nerves after a while. Luckily, I won't be playing this weekend. @ everyone who played tonight: Had a lot of fun, thanks for the great games. See you guys tomorrow. @ Science, Libby: Thanks for helping me out with those achievements and getting me my weapons. Don't like Natascha at all, but the gloves are pretty damn cool. /end long post

The Arena maps (specifically the Green one and Granary) are AMAZINGLY fun. Too bad they crash every 30 minutes or so. @ Triad: I can safely vouch for the fact that the Sammich (which is MUCH cooler than Sanvich, or what have you) is a must have, overpowered weapon. It's won me the (arena) match a few times now, simply 'cause I could walk behind a corner and get back a ton of health. Seriously, it's broken. And I don't think that there are too many heavies on the OCR server anymore. It died down pretty quickly, actually (and thank God). @ Bahamut: When they stop a'sploding the server/computers, can we have at least the Green one on rotation?

I, too, lolled. [Edit:] OH! That's the last unlockable with a description. Cool. /reads

Wow. That's quite a bit of engies...it also makes me sad to see my favorite class, Pyro, so frickin' high up the list... Prediction: Scout will be the next class to get weapons/achievements/etc.

I love Turbine. Also, I'm REALLY looking forward to being able to play more Steel, as I really love that map. I think I've played it all of 3 times, but every time I've played, I've absolutely loved it. With this new update...well, it won't be a No Man's Land anymore! (I'm back, BTW. Hope to start playing in the next few days; gotta unpack some boxes.)
