Sensai Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 So, I probably won't be on until Monday to do something in game if anything is needed with the server, as I broke a fuse last night and lost power for half of my apartment.

Xerol Oplan Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Turbine is often ruined by turtling engineers, but overall I think it's still a fun map, especially with the huge slaughterfests that happen in the big central room. Six scouts rushing at the beginning pretty much ensured our engineers couldn't get set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zykO Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Six scouts rushing at the beginning pretty much ensured our engineers couldn't get set up. that's cuz you didn't have zyko the pyro there to incinerate all those spies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensai Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effef Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Just to show how many engineers there are:http://www.steampowered.com/status/tf2/public_graphs/totaltimeplayedbyclass.png This does not necessarily show that there are more engineers than any other class. You have to take into consideration the fact than engineers often stay alive for a loooong time, such as when they are turtling behind a sentry.

Yeah - if anything I think soldier & pyro are the most played classes, with demo being third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to take into consideration the fact than engineers often stay alive for a loooong time, such as when they are turtling behind a sentry. If this was time played per life, your argument would make sense. However, this is Total Time Played per Class for the last week (expressed as a percent) across all official Valve maps.

DarkeSword Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I had a dream about TF2 last night. The new gametype was called "Restaurant," and it was basically the two teams running around trying to cap as much food as possible. The Heavy had a wheelbarrow and the Soldier had a shield made of scrap-metal. I need to go to bed earlier. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mutericator Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 This does not necessarily show that there are more engineers than any other class. You have to take into consideration the fact than engineers often stay alive for a loooong time, such as when they are turtling behind a sentry. Not only that, they have more reason to stay Engineer than other classes have reason to stay what they are. If you switch from Engineer, your stuff gets destroyed, so there's more reason to stay Engy. I had a dream about TF2 last night.

Tensei Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Bahamut, is there any chance you could add this map to the server, if only temporarily? Me and a few other people would love to test it out since it looks like it can be amazing (if a bit gimmicky) fun but no other server runs it. It doesn't even have to be in the rotation, it's just for testing purposes when there's barely any people on the server (and we usually mess around during those hours anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'd be up for it too, I love fooling around when it's just a few OCR chaps on the server at odd hours, all talk and low grav FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effef Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Wacky Races is just like Mario Kart in the fact that it gets really old in like 5 minutes. Put it on RTV if you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeCrusher Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 The stats are saying that total time per player averaged up in a percentage that the engineer is used a lot. But yes, as an engineer you spend more time as it cause you have to, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 They're taking a while to update it today... hopefully it's the new game mode and arenas (by the use of the word "arenas" perhaps a suggestion of a deathmatch style mode?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, as an engineer you spend more time as it cause you have to, yes. What the stats mean is that, on the official Valve maps, averaged across all players, Engineers were being played 16.1% of the time in the past week. They're taking a while to update it today... hopefully it's the new game mode and arenas (by the use of the word "arenas" perhaps a suggestion of a deathmatch style mode?). The wording arena could also mean a multi-part map, like how Dustbowl, Gold Rush, and others are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
