I'm having a lot of fun with the new patch system. Is there any word on making an OCR clan as well, or will we just stick with a community?
Also, there is a 50% 'community event' exp multiplier (100% + difficulty bonus x 1.5), and leveling is ridicouless fast right now. Playing on Master is entirely doable right from the start with a fresh level 1, and now I'm level 45 halfway through act II.

I should point out that the new QuickPlay rules went into effect today.
This includes kicking players for reserved slots, so if OCR is still in the QuickPlay rotation and reserved slots are still on, the server is violating the rules and needs the following cvar set:
tf_server_identity_disable_quickplay 1
Oh hell, thanks for the alert. I'll add it now. I skimmed through the rules from the earlier email, but I didn't catch that part of it.
