Dhsu Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I have to say that the server lag as of late has been ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindStrike Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 That it has. Also... most regulars here know the approximate playing abilities of other players, so it really disappoints me when I see all "the best" join one team... even worse is when a mod does it and I know that he knows he's teamstacking. Granted, there's no real way to stop this... it's just something I'd like to point out... yet again (I'm not naming people). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinslayer Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Well, it looks like my hiatus has been extended, damn, my video card is almost completely shot this time...so I'll have to avoid playing here in the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidDrone Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 To be fair, you don't have to be on the same team as your friend to be playing with them. (Anecdotally, I take greater pleasure from beating the crap out of them ingame than I do by working together.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellChamp Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Holy cow, I was on tonight and experienced the whole server super lag. The whole thing freezes for upwards of 10 seconds and gives users the "connection issue" red text. Anything we can do to remedy this problem?

They usually just autochoose teams, also I find it less annoying than when half the server excuses not doing anything to help the team with "But frogg is on the other team!"

Yeah, that's what I usually autochoose. Honestly, I'd rather have a close match than a completely one-sided roll. That being said, I have seen teams come back from an almost impossible position (such as pushing all 4 points back on 5pt cp map) so I usually wait for at least one or two full round of attack/defense before doing something about it. That's why we have "votescramble" anyway. EDIT: I also find it funny that people make johns about playing against Frogg. I have seen his team loose. On several occasions. He may be good but he's not God. Just yesterday he was NOT on the top of his team (I think Necro was). Slipping a bit there, Frogg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triad Orion Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Honestly, I tend to pick the team with my friends on it, regardless of whether they're winning or not. If I can't, I bite the bullet and pick the other team, especially if they're down on numbers. And yeah, Frogg's not invincible. He's really, really good. But not unstoppable. And he's not the whole team. If he's alone, he can still be stomped down by a team effort. So people need to stop complaining when they're not on his team. Yeah, he might kill you a bunch and it might make it more difficult. Deal with it. And besides, it makes landing that killing blow against him all the more satisfying.

ParanoidDrone Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 And besides, it makes landing that killing blow against him all the more satisfying. True. But when he has a pet Medic (or two...) dear lord is he a pain in the ass. Also I'm pretty sure that about half of our bitching about him is good-natured ribbing at his tendency to kill everything in front of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triad Orion Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 He is very much a killbot. And with Medics he is utterly lethal. (Speaking from being his medic a few times.) But yes. Killbot of scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SporkNinjaDraken Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I always auto but then again I don't think I'm good enough at the game to make a difference anyway so it matters not which side I'm on. Either way I'm still going to attack Frogg if he's on the other side... though there have been occasions where I've just hung out in the spawn when he was on the other side but that was a situation when it was a 1v1 where I honestly have no chance.

chivesontheweb Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I'm in the irc channel now because enter the game decided it was done blanket banning my area or whatever.

Brushfire Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I am not particularly fond of an entire team scattering when Frogg jumps around a corner either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triad Orion Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 He just has a psychological effect on people. But he's only a man. ...Killbot. Thing. Hit him hard enough, and he'll die. Just like anyone else. On a side note, I'm almost tempted to make Frogg into my new Boss Month signature. Such is his legend... :V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triad Orion Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Then I will require a badass death-cam shot of Frogg being awesome. I will attempt to get on this soon. If anyone gets a particularly awesome deathcam shot of him (preferably while being dominated), PM me or something and I'll totally credit them when I make it. If I don't get one myself, that is.
