XeroZohar Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Regarding highlander: I had fun being a medic in the previous one, but I figure you're already got that covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Jovian Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 On a completely unrelated note goddamn at least I never have to worry about browbeating OCR into not stacking useless classes. If I never see another team with 3 Snipers/Spies again it'll be too soon. That's only a problem if it's three shitty snipers. When it's me, NDUDE, and Lumpy, though, it's cool.

Bouncing around pub servers the other day, I landed on one with 3 snipers and 2 spies on my team, and the other team couldn't get anywhere. Anyone who got past the two spies was immediately headshotted before they could even cough on the cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyrai Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Okay running through 5 seperate accounts worth of idle time, only one crate between them all, and it's a series 37. Did they change the drop rate or something? NEED MAH 38s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're competent I don't have a problem. But given the state of pubs these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoopyFrood Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 I am sorry, I try new classes(like sniper for example) every now and again and most of the time I'm not any use to the team. So if you guys want me to stay as pyro/medic whilst on the server, just let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 These days? Read: Valve servers. I'm probably being unfair but it's been a while since I've had a quality game on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 So I've been wondering - can we try figuring out what's the root of the server lag we've been seeing? I got some pretty nasty lag spikes the last two times I've been playing, and it has happened before too. Some people wonder if it's a configuration issue. Could we try doing something like disabling the replays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Jovian Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Hoopy, you're way too hard on yourself. It's not like we're playing competitively or anything -- just relax and have fun. Re: server lag, I recall someone mentioning last night that they thought it was a configuration issue, because it's following us around even when we change physical servers. Has RED been having an issues, or is it just BLU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grab the weapons everyone says are overpowered and are a crutch if you're worried about that while learning the basics CRATES: I ended up with 2 strange quick-fixes, 2 strange KGBs.

XeroZohar Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 What's really fun is when I play spy and I'm doing OK-but-not-awesome, then Paranoid and Chili or equivalent show up. Then I really feel useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Duper Sombrero Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 I have found that being in a better mood tends to make me do better. Laughing (taunting) puts me in a better mood. This is about the closest thing I have to proving that taunting makes you a better player. You should try it sometime! It's just good manners, too.

Last night when we were horsing around in 3v3, your taunting first made me think you were a douchebag, but when you showed over chat you were still chilling with all of us that made me feel bad I thought that. Most people I see who taunt after killing end up being douchebags. Shit-talking over voice chat, going out of their way to troll via stickycamping and the like. It is aggrivating. Maybe I need to stop gettin mad at video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Duper Sombrero Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 I can see how the laughing can be seen as insulting. Really though it's just my way of being "polite." If it's really annoying and infuriating though, I suppose I could stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I really feel useless. ParanoidDrone Leveled Up! ParanoidDrone's Ego increased by 1! I rarely bother taunting for the killcam. For one, it leaves you perfectly stationary and I'd wager that I know the dangers of that better than most. I'll make an exception for people who act like they're tough shit or otherwise get on my last nerve (ragepyros, "lol noob spy" after my nth backstab, etc.) but that's pretty rare. I'll never understand a) why Necro taunts for me all the time and gets away with it too. (Actually I think the answer to B is because I'm hardly ever with my own team as a Spy.) Also Chili you need a new way to turn "warm and fuzzy" into something disturbing. Swallowing kittens is so passe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necro Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 I was wondering, Powerlord, if it would be all right if we made use of one of the servers for our UGC Highlander match on Monday, Feb 6? I apologize for short notice. If that is all right here is the link to the page with the and maps. http://www.ugcleague.com/files_tf2h.cfm Here's a direct download to the configs. http://www.ugcleague.com/files/configs/ugc_HL_v020412.rar Here's a direct download link to the match map, Warmfront. http://www.ugcleague.com/files/maps/cp_warmfront.zip Oh and Paranoid, I taunt because I care.

It's Coldfront without the snow, plus the right side of point 2 / left side of point 4 have been raised up and can be seen from the point itself (it used to be they were lower). Spawn room #2 is also raised up because of this. Honestly, I prefer Coldfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambo Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Of all the things to change... It also appears that they put glass between the spawn doors and the final point. So that you cant walk straight out and spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Well that seems incredibly stupid. Why should the defending team be put at a disadvantage when they're backed up to their final point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Well that seems incredibly stupid. Why should the defending team be put at a disadvantage when they're backed up to their final point? I havent played the map enough to know if the defending team is at a disadvantage. Maybe the offensive team had a big disadvantage as it was and so this balances it out. The change might have been an effort to accelerate the game, instead of sitting back and waiting down the clock if you're up a round. I mean before they could practically stand in the spawn door and spam rockets and stickies I think. I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
