Tensei Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Bonzai seriously is better though, and not because she's a girl. She does this thing called voice communication which is kind of essential for a medic. Saying stuff like "Spy behind us" or "Soldier to the left" is a fucking godsend.
SirChadlyOC Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 OMG FINE I'LL GET A MIC GOSH LEAVE ME ALONE ALREADY! Any recommendations for a Vista computer (besides throwing it out the window)?
zykO Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Yeah, the day that I was in first place, and Zuz Vahn Paktu first came to the server.... was a complete joy. Buh bye 2000 pts. lolIf you're REALLY concerned with your point count. Do as Edge has said. Play engie or even moreso, Medic. If you wanna have more fun, play anything else i was joking, really points are nice for nothin more than braggin rights. it can just be frustrating see them siphoned away so quickly on a couple of lucky frags
Bahamut Posted September 3, 2008 Author Posted September 3, 2008 Yeah, don't focus on the points - just focus on playing well, and the points will go up or down accordingly. There are some days where I've lost ~1000, and others where I've gained ~1000, so it's not really a big deal. Besides, what are points worth anyway?
EdgeCrusher Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 What Are Points! A Miserable Pile Of Secrets!
Sensai Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 I love Medics generally, especially ones that are not all silly-like (see earlier post about that). It really does help if they have mics, though. In fact, pretty much everything gets better if you (edit: and your team mates) have a mic.
atmuh Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 I love Medics generally ya because you cant go anywhere without one
Powerlord Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 As a side note, the download mirror should now have all maps that are present on the server, not just those listed on the first page. This means that TF2 won't say "Whoops, I can't download this map!" if one of the others comes up.
Bahamut Posted September 4, 2008 Author Posted September 4, 2008 So I got something that I said I would consider - mainly, one of the ZUZ guys contacted me asking whether they could have their server advertised, and in exchange they would advertise the OCR server. If people wouldn't mind this, what type of advertising form would you accept - motd, in game, in chat, etc.? If not, tell me as well.
Bleck Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I personally am against advertising the server not because I dislike the ZUZ guys (although I hate playing against the sometimes) but because personally I think the server is full enough as it is
atmuh Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I personally am against advertising the servernot because I dislike the ZUZ guys (although I hate playing against the sometimes) but because personally I think the server is full enough as it is this .
SirChadlyOC Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I wouldn't mind hearing about their server on the forums, though! Where can I find it? What is their rotation? But that's all I really want. I'd love to learn more about the ZUZ server outside the OCR server yet still in the OCR community (including mIRC), but I'd rather not advertise on the OCR TF2 server itself.
atmuh Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 why dont they just post here ya that makes tons of sense its actually quite easy to do!
Zephyr Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I'm not sure what my position on the advertising would be, I agree that the OCR server is very often full as it is, and that it probably doesn't need more advertising. I'm definitely not against ZUZ either, as I'm friends with a few of them and they're all good players, I'm not sure what the situation is with their server, but I rather just avoid advertisements altogether if possible. If it's in the server info screen or in the first post in the thread or something I've got not problems with it.
Bahamut Posted September 4, 2008 Author Posted September 4, 2008 That was my original thought as well - about not having any advertising on the OCR server (outside of OCR itself). I just wanted to hear some input on it.
Rambo Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 [ZUZ]Bahamut!?!? What in the hell!?! Abandoning your own damn server community!!! bahahahaha.
atmuh Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 no thats good he fits right in with them and their SERIOUS BUSINESS
Bahamut Posted September 4, 2008 Author Posted September 4, 2008 no thats good he fits right in with them and their SERIOUS BUSINESS As if playing a game how a game was designed to be played is suddenly a bad thing. Grow up/grow a brain.
atmuh Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 games were made to be enjoyed and be fun and they allow each user to enjoy them in their own unique way which is why they are more fun than tv or movies because with those everyone is forced to enjoy them the same way i never said your way of enjoying them is wrong because there is no wrong way to enjoy them
Bahamut Posted September 4, 2008 Author Posted September 4, 2008 Yeah but the way you phrased your comment, you implied that one can't have fun by trying their best.
atmuh Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 i take smash bros very seriously and im pretty sure everyone knows that so ya no to that one im just saying you fit with them because you do
Sensai Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 @ Atmuh: Are we talking Melee or Brawl here? I used to play Melee competitively...but absolutely detest Brawl. Given, I was never really 'serious business' about it to the extent we're talking. @ Bahamut: I'm glad you joined ZUZ. They, well, the 3 that I talk to (Wish, Vahn, Seldon) seem like a good group of guys. One of the other ones, the name eludes me, seemed like....well, annoying, but the 3 I know seem cool. It does strike me as odd, though, that they just let open the flood gates like that. No offense meant or anything, but they recruited 3 people in the course of 1 game...?
Bahamut Posted September 5, 2008 Author Posted September 5, 2008 Well, they don't have a lot of people, which is required if you want to play in leagues and such, and there's some solid players on the OCR server, so it's only natural to try to fish around for more on a server they like to frequent. Personally, I'm looking at this as an opportunity to improve at a competitive level. I don't care for being the best, but if I can accomplish all of the tricks of the trade for various classes, then I'll be happy. If not, well then it still provides me with something fresh to do.
SirChadlyOC Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 So I finally bought a microphone, so you all can make fun of the fact that my voice isn't nearly as manly or impressive as you may have imagined. The thing holding me up before was that I had a mic, but I guess it was incompatible with VISTA because I could never get it to work on my new machine. Yes, I tried whatever advice you may suggest. So I finally gave up and just bought a USB mic. It now works like a charm. Of course, In have no idea how to talk while playing TF2, so I may have some growing pains. IMPORTANT QUESTION: What key do other people have binded to voice? "V" didn't seem to make sense, so I'm trying "F" but now I can't go right and talk at the same time. Suggestions?
Overglock Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 I use one of the mouse buttons by my thumb for voice chat. Works great. In other news, does anybody know the name of the wav file for the Heavy's "POW! HAHA!" taunt? I thought it'd be funny to replace it with a clip of Phoenix Wright saying "OBJECTION!"
