Lyrai Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Crate #37 added. Bazaar Bargan, Liberty Launcher, Blutsager, Big Earner are the stranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Glad they finally added crafting recipes. Maybe I can finally get the Pyro/Engineer weapons. The Bombnomicon change is also welcome, but highly unexpected given Valve's recent tendency to go "lol whatever" re: cosmetic effects. Although it did make it hard to use YER.

Powerlord Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Server's really starting to feel dead. Looking at the HLstats graph is sad. I'll be honest, I've been playing on Reddit Midwest lately. It probably doesn't help that I haven't contacted the server host about moving to Dallas yet. Speaking of our server, there's a Prop Hunt event scheduled for tonight 9pm EST / 6pm PST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeCrusher Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I never play on there cause 99% of the time, its completely empty when I'm online, and the 1% has random people that I don't know/don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I've been getting in a reasonable number of games recently. I'm almost always willing to hop on when other people are playing, so like, just start playing. In other news, a person on another server I sometimes play on gave me a free Genuine Stahlhelm out of the blue. Said person may or may not have been high at the time, but hey, free hat.

ParanoidDrone Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I was on the server earlier, but my connection is all sorts of fucked up and I spent a good portion of the time staring at an interactive powerpoint. This is likely an issue on my end, not the server. *grumble* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 From a few hours ago: We've released a mandatory update to Team Fortress 2. The notes for the update are below.-Eric ------------------------------ Team Fortress 2 - Added new promo items - Fixed paint preview not working for Mann Co. Store items - Fixed the Lucky Shot not hiding the base Soldier helmet - Did not update the localization files Both servers were updated... I'm still updating the Event server manually, but I have access to the shell on that box from work while I don't to these forums... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Prize Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 New Promo items? I'll have to take a look at that. In other news, I apparently have one hell of a swingin' arm: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTckuFqXtNM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyrai Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 "- Did not update the localization files"uh cool? Quasi-running joke. Every other patch has "Updated ____ localization files" and people complained whenever a patch didn't fix this bug or that, but instead had the localization files updated.

ParanoidDrone Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Does the idea of there being 8,499 spies out there that dumb bother you? Considering the only times I've ever backstabbed a Razorback have been when I simply didn't see it for whatever reason... HELL YES. (Okay, that's a lie, I've done it on purpose a few times for shits and giggles. Half the time they don't even notice.) Name ideas: "Knife Magnet" "Why the hell would you stab this I mean really." (Better as description?) "Single-Use Backstab Rescue Device" "Low-Tech Spy Deterrent" "Target Practice" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I did it once or twice when getting that one achievement that requires it, and then a few more times just for lulz. I still need to get the Kook the Spook one while wearing it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Considering the only times I've ever backstabbed a Razorback have been when I simply didn't see it for whatever reason... I've had some times where the game simply hasn't drawn it for whatever reason. Also, 12 people on BLU and 12 people on RED. I can't make up my mind which to join! >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 The server is down for the moment. The instance is being moved from its current server in Chicago, IL to a different server located in Dallas, TX. This means it will likely have an IP change. I do not yet have what the new IPs are, but I will post here (and update DNS entries/stats server settings) when I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 The servers are now running on their new box. New addresses are: BLU: 66.151.244.124 (blu.ocrtf2.com will be updated to this address soon) RED: 66.151.244.133 (red.ocrtf2.com will be updated to this address soon) HLStatsX CE is currently showing the wrong map in its list for unknown reasons, despite the stats daemon being restarted following the IP address change in its configuration. Edit: HLStatsX is showing the correct maps now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyrai Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Dear Bark: Whenever I play Defensive Demo, if my stickies get rolled away due to explosions or poofing, whenever I notice this I just detonate them and hope to get lucky.

Powerlord Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 We've released a mandatory update to Team Fortress 2. The notes for the update are below.-Eric ------------------------------ Source Engine Changes (TF2, DoD:S, HL2:DM) - Fixed a demo/replay playback crash - Changed the way bot counts are displayed in the server browser: the bot column is now next to the player column and always visible. Bot count is no longer subtracted from maxplayers. Team Fortress 2 - Added the Alladin's Private Reserve for the Demo - Fixed a bug where the Medic would lose his healing target's speed when deploying his ÜberCharge while using the Quick-Fix - Fixed a bug that would cause some Team Spirit painted hats to show as black-painted in the Steam Community - Localized the team goal strings for cp_steel and pl_frontier - Added missing level_data strings to kill_eater_score_type elements in the GetSchema WebAPI response - Updated pl_frontier with author-submitted fixes: - small prop adjustments - several unsewn/gappy displacements fixed up - func_push altered below final capture point - Undocumented changes: Updated all localization files And yes, it does say undocumented changes in the update notes. BLU is slowly waiting to update. Unfortunately, since Valve updated frontier and steel, the update is relatively large ( >200MB ). BLU has been updated.

Lyrai Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 okay seriously why is no one playing on OCR whenever I get the urge to TF2 and I have to play on pub servers where no one knows how to deal with spies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Jovian Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I ended up playing on a random pub server last night for a few rounds. I ended up singlehandedly depopulating the server by getting getting a the entire RED team to ragequit after I killed all five of them by myself with the huntsman, then got autobalanced to the RED, then doing the exact same thing to BLU. It makes me so very sad that there's no Strange Huntsman, because I could say that mine was literally server-clearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
