TEAM FORTRESS 2: RUN, COWARDS!

[CrashHelmut]

With all the hours played here just curious as to how many of you have all 17 achievements available in TF2, I know the achievements are as useful as bringing a rubber mallet to a pyro fight but it would be interesting to see.

*Waves useless 100% achievement certificate in the air and even the tumbleweed slowly drifting by seem disinterested*

Any way a show of hands would do .

It seems that with the new update (Goldrush) the achievements will be used to unlock new weapons, etc.

Me, I still can't get that stupid Sentry Defence achievement. You need an opposing team with a lot of newbies to constantly run into the sentry's line of fire, and that does not seem to be happening anymore.

[Frozenfireside]

I was having soooooo much fun as Demo. I would plant sticky bombs at select places and wait for someone to retreat or attack and *boooooom*. I nailed quite a few bastard pyros trying to push plus medics backing them up.

Well Crush if I see your sentry I'll try and run into it with a baseball bat several times, 10 I think could be wrong, well there goes the frag rate.

[Pagan]

I have 16 of them. I will probably never get the last one. I even cry at night because my steam friends have rejected me. Oh cruel, cruel world!

Dustbowl, stage 3 defence. Take the shortcut through to cap one, and drop down the ledge. Build your sentry against the staircase that looks onto the cap, where the cap is on the right.

Thanks, I'll try that one again.
The other one I found to be good as well is Dustbowl stage 2 defence. In the little hut before their spawn, facing back towards the checkpoint. Only managed 9 sequencial kills at that position though.

[Squid]

I have them all. Achievements are one thing that made TF2 really fun for me at the beggining, I'm dying for the new ones.

[Kharrak]

Yeah, I also got sentry gunner on Dustbowl Stage 3 defense. I managed to place my sentry by the first point in such a way that the demomen seemed to have quite a bit of trouble taking it out. Little bugger also survived two Uber heavy pushes :D
I think I got around 13 kills from that one sentry :P

The second point defense.... was less successful >_>

[Chippit]

I got mine originally on Gravelpit, I think (twice. stupid corrupt stats :/). Though I have had quite a significant amount of kills on Hydro much more recently. It certainly is possible, but only if the engineer has a decent team.

[FreakKing]

Head of the Class
Nemesis
Grey Matter
World Traveler

These reset every few days. :(

[FEN1X]

I got all my achievments in the first month of the games release.

My top score is with an engi, on the roof hut on the second Dustbowl defence.

Max kills- 25
Max damage- ALOT
Sentry kills 20

[Azimuth]

I don't have the Grey Matter or Head of the Class achievements. Because snipers are ***gy. :/

[wir]

Because snipers are ***gy. :/
Yeah...
I haven't played sniper* in about 1-2 months. And I'm proud of it!

*Excluding my melee runs.


But hey, sometimes one sniper is needed, even if just to keep the enemy sniper off our medics.

i just got one of my friends to run into my sentry 10 times so i have all the achievements, and i also hope the medic ones are hard to get =/

[wir]

Err, what's with the distorted edges?

That screenie cries 'Photoshopped'.

[groen]

sniper are ***gy?

Its all ive been playing the last couple of days, a nice change from being a demo, or a soldier. Use to play medic but there really is no point in healing a team where everyone does their own thing.

[dislekcia]

If random says I play sniper, I play sniper.

Generally I don't mind playing pretty much any class, though I do tend to have a little more fun on certain maps with some of them.

-D

[VoXoV]

I love playing sniper on certain maps, some not.

Which map is the one with 2 identical buildings on either side (besides the colour) and the pathway/bridge covered by a roof type thing joining them.

[GhOsT_828]

^ That'll be 2Fort.

Cool, thanks, i love sniping on that map.

[blitz]

I got that sentry achievement on badlands. We were defending the last point for over 7 minutes. Those minutes were the most intense in my life... watching the kills creep closer to 10 and hoping a spy doesn't come along...

I must say I jumped right out of my chair when I finally got that one. Thank you blue!!

I had the most ****ed up ping tonight.

Ok, I spawn, ping 70. I run towards exit. Ping 70.
Run to enemy base, ping 70.
Get within 50m of an enemy, ping spikes to 700.
Die. ping 70.
Wait to spawn, ping 70.
Spawn, ping 70.
Get near enemy base, ping 700.
Repeat.

wir that really sucks when you are waiting to respawn and people go wow your ping is like only 2 how do you manage that , but as soon as you enter the action, boom, hello mr 200 ping .... I feel your pain !

So true...

Sniper for me is meh. Mostly because I can't seem to stay alive for long as one(it's like everyone decides to come after me when I become one...*paranioa*) and because the whole routine of shooting someone and then ducking behind cover just to repeat the process just gets a bit boring after awhile.

random fact: I've been killed by Snipers more when I am a sniper then when I'm another class.

Same can be said for engineer and spy imo. One or 2 snipers in a match is a required evil(not my opinion as I like sniper) they can contribute to a team as can any other class, thats why they are there after all. That said I don't like sniper abuse, it's really irritating when there are 3-5 snipers on one team(same for spy and engie).

[groen]

So is it wrong i i go sniper even if there are already 2 snipers... but they for some weird reason never counter the other teams sniper? And that is why i go sniper...

[Aesir]

I didn't say it was wrong I said it was irritating. Earlier today I was sniper, the other team also had one sniper, I killed a lot of people on their team so they got another sniper, he didn't get me either so they got another one. Only after killing them all a couple of times did they get me.

Not once did someone think to go spy to backstab me, so a sniper to counter a sniper is not always a good idea.

[no_fear]

Meh, I got TF on friday and I go on, play for a bit and get banned for some unknown god damn reason. These sgs people are being full of ****

[Orr4cle]

What was their reason for you being banned?

[no_fear]

I have no idea. I was just playing and then next second you have been banned. bla bla bla. So i was like ok wtf.

But someone told me in the game that you can't swear then I stopped. But I wasn't swearing at anyone just like whoa wtf. This is ****ed up, I mean it's not like 10 year olds play!

[R33KO]

You'd be surprised.

OK well there may be one or two. But ye. Surely they should warn you?

[Kaboos]

http://games.saix.net/rules_of_engagement.php

Just send SGS a polite email, stating that you're sorry, and they'll reduce your ban from a month, to a week.

[no_fear]

Ye I was going to, but what information will I have to give?

[Azimuth]

I do think the no swearing policy is a bit ridiculous.

[FEN1X]

Well if it wasnt there, it would just be a **** fest.

"OMG ****EN SNIPERS"
"OMG ****EN SPYS"
"OMG ****EN CRITS"
"WHAT THE ****, OMG HAX"

You get the idea.

[Kraken]

http://games.saix.net/rules_of_engagement.php

But then NEVER, EVER swear again. Because then you'll be banned for three months, with no apology accepted.

So? It's just a word.

I totally kicked ass tonight as a spy!:)

[groen]

i ****ing agree, i dont so any god damn reason we are not allowed to ****ing swear, i mean ****... some ****ing people might over do it a little, but is it really that ****ing bad?

[FreakKing]

i ****ing agree, i dont so any god damn reason we are not allowed to ****ing swear, i mean ****... some ****ing people might over do it a little, but is it really that ****ing bad?

Yes.

Your supposed to have fun. Swearing can spoil the game for others, especially if you keep swearing. Most aren't offended, yeah, but it gets irritating. And then the Fun goes to another game, like CoD4 (that was a guess).

[wir]

I'm sure some people will overdo it.

Think they're hot **** typing '****' every second word.

[dislekcia]

I am usually far too busy giggling to swear while I'm playing TF2... CoD4? That gets the swearing like crazy.

-D

[groen]

So true... but my real opinion is as long as it is moderate swearing, and not directed at anyone, i see no fault. But the moment it is directed at someone, do a week ban, if it repeats a month ban... and keep it at a month ban. I mean the person is only gonna swear once a month then. Some people have Tourette syndrom and cant help themselves, although i doubt it passes on to the typing aspect of things, u never know :/

[Wiggles]

Why don't no-one just swear (grammer =o)
I mean, is it that hard to be discreet?

[FEN1X]

WEO! 8 backstabs in under 30 secs on 2Fort, snipers you gotta love em.

[Frozenfireside]

Thankyou for getting them! I tried to be a sniper but someone kept stabbing me and I saw the error in my ways.

[no_fear]

Well I didn't flog it as you saying, like "omg ****ing snipers" etc. I just said about 5 lines in total. Mainly like:
"**** I'm confused"
"well that was ****ed up"
"this is ****ing hard"

things like that.It wasn't directed at anyone, and it wasn't every second word. I just don't see the point in it? The people are being ****ing whiners if you ask me.

And honestly, it is not a ****ing playground, it is a game. The intended audience is 14+. I have not met one 14 year old that I haven't seen swear.

[Frozenfireside]

I got shouted at for swearing by one of the admins so I have generally stopped letting my mouth go-I want to return to SGS servers :(
I was shocked to see admin playing so I asked him to kick the high pingers but to no avail.

[no_fear]

That's the thing, someone mentioned you can't swear, so I shut up and the next thing I got banned. I was like ok...wtf.

[|-|1Pp13]

meh, im pro swearing, the age limit is there for a reason, i only think you should be banned if the admins start getting complaints, EG somewhere swears exxesively (??spelling??) and 2 or 3 people report him, that should = 1 week/month ban. the occasional **** or **** here and there should be allowed


6.1 You may not use offensive or sexually explicit language in chat or voice mode.

6.7 You may not use any unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable language toward any other player. You may report such incidents to our Ban Master for action.

okay so not aimed at any and noone takes offence it should be fine?

[GhOsT_828]

^ That's how it's supposed to be. However, everyone has got this idea that you shouldn't swear at all because " you're a bad influnece to the kids."
Yeah, kids who aren't supposed to play this damn game at all. If you play games whilst under the age restriction, you can not complain if others swear.
When I swear in-game, it's usually like "****e, this doesn't look good." (Add "-e" to make it sound Scottish :P)

[Dead!Raven]

"6.7 You may not use any unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable language toward any other player. You may report such incidents to our Ban Master for action."

then why is it that whenever Inetrnationals join the servers spouting stuff like "niggers and Caffer!" nothing happens. do the admins only ...ADMIN the servers when they play on them or do thy have filters on the Console?

[no_fear]

And I just checked, the age restriction for Orange box is 16+. Therefore kids should not be playing and they close enough to drink. So this whole thing is bull****.

I didn't insult anyone so I don't understand what the problem is. Anyways will e-mail the ban guy soon. What information should I include?I'm goin"0to make a post about this on sgs' forums. I want to see what their admins say.

[groen]

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that in reality real people, and a real company are providing this service. Which in turn means that they can be held liable if someone should open a civil case against an abusive player or perhaps worse, against the company hosting the service for damages to that persons fragile state of mind.

But then again, this isn't America.

[Oeaks]

Yes, but I find engineer and spy more fun. A few snipers are useful, but as you said too many snipers can be annoying. the same can be said for any class(except pyro :P)

The question is-do I want to?

Um...stop being an idiot. Read MY post.

Did I mention you? I was just commenting on everyone else that was bitching about not being able to swear. I, too, use foul language in my everyday life. But I don't feel it would increase the allure of a TF 2 round if everybody was rattling off like a mobster.

I'd wait around for an apology, but I'm not sure I'll get one. Anyway, you are forgiven.

[Squid]

I'm with Alpha on this one, swearing really annoys me. And honestly it's not that hard to not swear.

I do however think that the SGS rules on swearing need to clearly posted somewhere. Players need to know that they will get banned if they swear before they start playing.

Players should also just have a once of warning the first time, because as far as I can see the only people that get banned for swearing are those that didn't know the rules existed.

[CrashHelmut]

I do agree with the no swearing policy, excessive swearing can cause a bad vibe, especially if it becomes personal.

Unfortunately three years of living in a university residence has made me a big potty mouth, so I have to check myself often.

I do however feel that implementation of the policy should be done lightly. We are all here to enjoy the game, an occasional swear word here and there would not cause any major damage (there are body parts flying all over the place, this is not a game for kids). Only blatant abusers should be banned.

And remember, if you are drunk and feel like expressing your unhappiness with being constantly killed, just don't do it, it is never taken well.

[Nrocinu]

Be glad you guys can't hear me when a sniper kills me.

[CrashHelmut]

Be glad you guys can't hear me when a sniper kills me.

The thing that ****es me off the most is if someone goes spy to get revenge, really ****ing weak.

[no_fear]

Well alpha you should of clarified who you were speaking to. As I was the one that started the whole swearing discussion, it is natural that that would be aimed at me. So for this reason I won't apologise because you didn't make it clear.

[brazed]

play nice.

Alpha's comment was clearly not directed at you, no fear. Stop being such a victim.

20min ago, I just found out what the right-click does when placing a structure as an Engineer :O

IT CHANGES EVERYTHING!! Well, not really. They'll still get killed (along with me) by a passing prancing demo :/

I also tried the sniper recently, a choice fueled by gaining the last few achievements that allude me, and I actually did quite well. I didn't really feel like I was helping the team, but I was high ranking in points :P

Surprising how, in that game as a sniper, I suddenly garnered quite a hatred for Pyro's (and other snipers lol) :/

The Ubersaw
For the determined medic that has earned all 36 of the new achievements, they will find themselves the proud owner of "The Ubersaw," which will take damage done in melee attacks and convert it directly to ubercharge. Four hits with this new weapon will fully charge whatever medigun the medic has equpped.

Lol Kalekin we make one mean ass medic team. We were in sudden death, only an engie and 2 medics on our side left.

[Squid]

I seriously cannot wait for the new updates.

On a less positive note I'm starting to get annoyed at people that constantly moan about crits, lagstabs or auto-balance. The don't favour any particular team or player and they are part of the game. So just deal with it okay?

"Play Doctor: In a team with no Medics, be first to switch to Medic after a teammate calls medic and heal 500 health"

This will make things silly indeed if one plays an entire team out for these achievements

[wir]

This achievement list seems more realistic. Yay!

I won't be surprised if custum servers, dedicated to some of these achievements, open.

Robin Walker: We already have some plans for what we want to try next. We really want to try out a map where you're escorting a cart, and the cart's big enough that engineers are actually building on it, so you have a moving fortress. So we're going to try that out probably next.

No, just no.This is a really stupid idea valve.
Don't ****ing release just one classes new achievements.
Wait a while and do at least a few.
This is going to be so lame, medic wars for weeks.
Yes, I'm also going to play medic, but what did they expect???
I have never understood their reasoning behind this.

[wir]

I find this good. Not enough people play medic lately anyway, this makes it a more desired class. After the initial achievement rush, there'll be more people willing to play medic, if their team needs one.

Lets hear what you say a week or two after it's release.

[Kharrak]

From what I understand, their reasoning for only releasing for one class, both new weapons and achievement wise, is essentially a slow push so they can see how the community reacts with that taste, and then modify, balance and adapt from there - instead of dropping new features for ALL classes - immediately completely changing the game for which they would have to attempt to balance and modify all at the same time.

I don't mind... it gives me time to adapt, understand, and get comfortable with the new gameplay elements that this will introduce - instead of drowning in a game that suddenly plays completely alien.

As for the medic wars... yeah, those are inevitable. However, judging by steam stats, not that many people have a lot of achievements, so it may not be as much of a problem that this initially portrays.

Fail for not reading the interview:


Shack: Does the staggered release have anything to do with the issue of balancing?

Robin Walker: The staggered release is more actually--that's how fast we can get things done. This [first release] needed a lot of work in the backend. We have persistent data storage on the Steam backend now for what items you've unlocked--your weapon inventory is going to show up on your Steam profile, all that kind of stuff. So there was a lot of backend work for this that we're not going to have to do as we go forward, so we envision the next ones being done a lot faster than this.

[Squid]

I think some of the achievements are a bit too hard, these ones:

Big Pharma: Assist a heavy in killing thirty enemies where neither of you die
You'll Feel a Little Prick: Assist in killing four enemies with a single Ubercharge on a Scout
Blunt Trauma: Assist in punching out for enemies with a single Ubercharge on a Heavy
Medical Breakthrough: Assist in destroying eight enemy Engineer buildings with a single Ubercharge on a Demoman
Chief of Staff: Accumulate ten million total health points

[Nrocinu]

Wow that's alot of health points to heal.

Medical Breakthrough: Assist in destroying eight enemy Engineer buildings with a single Ubercharge on a Demoman
Chief of Staff: Accumulate ten million total health points

Killing 4 enemies in a 10 seconds time period is going to be almost impossible for a scout. You'll need to crit scattergun and then start wacking away with a bat.
Same with a big slow lumbering heavy, the only place enemies would stand still enough to be punched would be in all the chaos while defending/attacking a control point.
Also destroying eight enemy buildings, that's would be like 3 sentries, 3 dispensers and 2 teleporters, all in close proximity. That will require some fancy sticky work to pull off.

Chief of Staff: Accumulate ten million total health points
Not difficult, it will simply take a long time.

[Gldm]

The scout one won't be so hard if it counts while using the critical ubercharge instead of the invuln ubercharge.

The demoman one won't be so bad if the enemy team is eng-heavy.

30 assists on a heavy is easy. Assist Dislekcia on Dustbowl 3 and make sure someone's built a dispenser near him. Piece of cake.

10 million points is going to take a while though.

[Alpha]

I like that some of them are difficult. 1.) Gonna be a long term challenge (be good for us). 2.) Means that when other classes have their update, people will have to pick a class to specialise in. Won't just have EVERYTHING of EVERYTHING. 3.) And c'mon guys seriously, what is the point of an ACHIEVEMENT, if it's easy...worthless.

Breakthrough easy enough.
Cheif of staff I can do overtime.
BLUNT TRAUMA!!!!!!!!!!!! No frikken way.


Luckily I have a solution :p


BTW= Do you guys think that if you have already done the achievemnt before the release it will be added on?

Ie: will Chief start only after the release or will it include the current count.
Or if you already have say 9000 points for top healing doyou get the specialst or will you have to do it again?


And finally what is the heal point per sec on the medigun? Just so I can work out how many hours it will take to get cheif of staff?

only problem is the longest ive had to wait so far is 30 min . . .

[FreakKing]

Thanks wir and Hippie. I guess that was my problem.

I liked TF2 as a simple and easy FPS. Now, the changing weapons adds more tricks, more things to think about. I found out I make stupid mistakes during games. These new weapons for each class will make it more complicated.

But... It will make things much more interesting. And that fact makes these updates great.

[wir]

You don't have to use or get the new weapons. You also won't be at a disadvantage having them. Only more complicated if you want it to be.

[VoXoV]

Are there only going to be new weapons for medics?

I'm not explaining it very good. :(

I think the Pyro should get a special if you get all of his achievements where you can activate a power that makes you run twice as fast, and set everything around you in a radius on fire, and when 10 seconds are up or you get killed, you explode, setting everything in a bigger radius on fire. :P

[Gldm]

I had a thought last night... if you're using an ubercharge, and you attack people with the ubersaw, does the 25% per hit still go into your charge meter? If so you could stay invuln as long as you kept scoring hits fast enough.

[Kraken]

Only if you've got a buddy medic, where you could alternate ubers with. I imagine.

[Pr0wl1ng_PaPayA]

They must just work like animals now to get the rest of the classes upgrades out.
I also want to feel special.:(

[CrashHelmut]

I just thought of something:
We know all the classes will be getting new achievements, so if the Medic has the following achievement:
Blunt Trauma: Assist in punching out four enemies with a single Ubercharge on a Heavy
it would make sense that the Heavy would have this achievement too, in other words, knock out 4 enemies while Ubercharged.
Same would go for the other similar Medic achievements regarding Scouts, Demomen, etc.

[dislekcia]

I had a thought last night... if you're using an ubercharge, and you attack people with the ubersaw, does the 25% per hit still go into your charge meter? If so you could stay invuln as long as you kept scoring hits fast enough.

The ubercharging medic is only invulnerable as long as they have the healthgun out, so you'd need a secondary medic to uber you so that you could up your uber meter... Chances are valve won't let ubered hits charge up though.

-D

[Pagan]

I had a thought last night... if you're using an ubercharge, and you attack people with the ubersaw, does the 25% per hit still go into your charge meter? If so you could stay invuln as long as you kept scoring hits fast enough.

You only have uber with the medigun out, when you change weapons you lose uber, but if you change back you get it again if it hasn't run out. So it's pretty pointless using the ubersaw while ubered if it went into the charge meter, because your uber would keep draining and you wouldn't get any benefit until you switched back to medigun. You'd be better off waiting until the uber was finished.

[GhOsT_828]

The pyro had something like this in the original TF, if I recall. Some sort of incendiary rocket launcher.

He indeed had a incendiary rocket launcher, but its only advantage was that it could damage you through walls. The actual napalm-effect was created by a grenade. This grenade burned the area for a while.
Interestingly enough, it also burned under water.

Yes, the Medic achievements are awesome, but, imho, Valve should release all the achievements at once.

Imagine a Scout and being able to run much faster and jump much higher for 10 seconds (putting all weapons away as part of shotgun ability). CTF would be much harder then to defend. Also not being able to change weapons or shoot for 10 or 20 more seconds.

There are people (even on this forum) who always join the obviously stronger side. They might as well be in a clan because they behave in the exact same way. They stack, they only heal one and the best, player, and time after time, join the stronger side.

While joining the stronger side isn't necessarily an incredibly 'bad' thing to do, once I've seen the same player(s) doing it over and over, it becomes frustrating and really ruins the game for the rest of us who are playing to have fun.

While they enjoy racking up incredible high scores and such, the rest of us are struggling to get any sort of momentum because the stackers, and idiots who stack with them, are obviously better and crush the weaker team with ease. :(

You know who you are.

Kaboos... don't complain about strong players stacking against the weak.

Its a known fact by any quake 3 player worth his salt if a strong player plays 1on1 against a weak player, that strong player loses skill, and the **** players gains skill. Thats why a good player will rather quit than play a bad player.

This rule applies to any game, let them stack, eventually they will grow weak and we will grow strong. Its how it works, if you don't have a challenge you cannot improve

Has a nice ring to it, and i kinda like it... hehehe

Changed my name in TF2 to "Groen (emoman)"
Although i dont play TF2 since sunday, kinda getting boring with all the stacking these days.

I see people sitting in the lobby in spec mode, when there are 10 in blu and 11 in red, instead of joining blu, they will rather spec and wait until a spot goes open in the stronger team before joining.

If i see this, i tend to giggle uncontrollable. The funniest was, although it only occured once, was that a team full of clan members and big names got owned on gravelpit by a team consiting of almost only non regular players.

There was 2 minutes left to capture the 2nd point on phase 1, so i switched to see if i can help, as i waited to respawn they capped and we moved to phase 2. Before i could even kill anyone the team over ran the stackers and won. They ended up 6 v 1, wish i could take credit in their victory but i cant :(

Nice!
But ja, stacking does suck. I was checking out the CoD4 forums on SGS and a large number of their clans have all agreed to not stack.

I like that, but I don't think we'll get that happening on TF 2. The argument: I wanna play with my friends, what's wrong with that?

*sigh*

[groen]

i did not have a problem with stacking, but it has gotten so out of hand, that the good players, being in a clan or not, all join the one team.

Its become so regular, i cant even recall the last game that was a challenge, meaning... a fight to win. Now its just one team walking all over the other team.

Its boring to play and you just run with the crowd, and next thing, your team wins... and os it repeats until the next map where it starts all over.

And if you are not in their team, you spawn, run... turn around go like what the ****? Where is my team, oh there they are splattered all over the roof, guess im next, boom splat... you lose, and so the drama continues until next map where it just starts all over again.

If i recall correctly i told kaboos let them stack, but its becoming madness, and no; this is not sparta, this is TF twoaaaaa

[Alpha]

lol :)

[wir]

Have you ever felt like everyone is following you?

Occasionally, I'll be having an awesome/lucky night, doing really well for 3-4 rounds. Now often I'm the very first person to enter a new map, I usually join a team first. Lets say I join RED, everyone will try to be on my team. Noone will join BLU, they'll wait for a RED slot.

I go over to BLU, scoffing at everyone joining RED. Now, everyone leaves RED, wanting to join BLU!


This is ****ing bull****. One person does not make the team.

Some would call you vain, I just call you .Wir!

Alpha, come onto steam, if you can.

Never tell your password to anyone.
|CM|Tommy: lo Wir
|OC| Wi'ro'uld: Hey
|CM|Tommy: OC wanna play 2nite?
|OC| Wi'ro'uld: What time..?
|CM|Tommy: 7-9
|OC| Wi'ro'uld: Eh, I dunno. Most of us are in school, not to keen on clannies during the week. I could make it, but I dunno about the other guys. I'll mention it to Alpha though.
|CM|Tommy: kk ty

Nah, it was a lucky night, everyone gets a night where they just do really well y'know.

[Alpha]

Will be back home in bout 30min.

I would just call it wishful thinking :P

With regard to the stacking incident it really is getting out of control. The following happened yesterday:

Red is uberstacked.
Red naturally has one extra player
The only good player we have on Blue goes spec
Red is auto-balanced
Said spectator instantly joins Red

I told him he was scum and he gave me some BS story about being afk and he demanded an apology. I was seriously considering abandoning my gay tag, but it's now needed more than ever.

[groen]

Squid, this was going on the entire weekend... im getting the feeling those threads on SGS inspired all the hatemongers to do this, to try and prove their point.

Whatever that may be?

It sure as hell aint no coincidence that the teams ended up like that, especialy with what you jsut said, i saw it more than a few times this weekend.

If their plan was to put me off from playing this game, they sure as hell accomplished their task. Zoo Tycoon 2 FTW!!!!

depending how i feel like playing ill either play for a challange (against you), or if i feel like fooling about (and kinda handicapping my team :p) ill join your team

also i never wait in spec mode, i dont care if the team losses. theres a spot open and im gonna take it dammmit

[Orr4cle]

On Dustbowl especially I will often join the team getting beat horribly, there is no fun in steam rolling a team, I like a challenge. But again you do hear the argument "I am just playing on my friends side" etc. which sometimes can't be helped and then there are those times where you simply get autobalanced to the stronger team or the server is full and you don't have the option to join the other team.

But I do agree those few people who try to join the stronger team, just cos they want to be on the winning team, are really spineless.

[groen]

Well orracle and Zombie were the only oaks who stuck it out on the blu team, obviously the red team were the steam rollers in this little story...

[Azimuth]

Well, now. This coming from the twit who delivered a sermon on the school of hard knocks just the other day.

i had a wakeup call...

Any how... enjoy TF2... will give it a go again once the updates have been released. Maybe sooner, TF2 is like smack, once you had it, its hard to resist... especially once the body cramps start setting in from lack of demo or soldier action

[Azimuth]

That's nice.

Agreed. My gay tag is coming back :) That and I'm going to anti-stack on principle more.

Yeah, this weekend was especially bad. I kept wondering if I was bringing bad luck to our team since we kept loosing (badly). I don't mind dying so much (I play mostly Scout so I am used to it). It's the long respawn times if you don't manage to make some points/kills that gets me down.

Especially on Dustbowl. I think I had a total of 2 minutes (not setup) playing time for a whole stage 1, 2 and 3 on defence. The rest of the time I was waiting to respawn.

The only map that was a bit more balanced was Gravel Pit, even though the other team was slightly more stacked. It is starting to become my favourite map.

What I cannot figure out is why do the other guys do it? Where is the challenge? How much fun can it be to steamroller over some bad opposition.

[Kaboos]

If i recall correctly i told kaboos let them stack, but its becoming madness, and no; this is not sparta, this is TF twoaaaaa

Stacking is fun - I get killed a lot. :)

Couldn't you people come up with something more constructive and less offensive to do?

[Pr0wl1ng_PaPayA]

Yeah like join a clan!

[Chippit]

...
offensive?

[dislekcia]

Couldn't you people come up with something more constructive and less offensive to do?

Sorry, mindless_violence.dislekcia is way too long to be comfortable, but it would probably be more acceptable than any kind of sexualised reference. It would, however, be rather ironic in the context of the game...

Though less ironic than you bitching about "gay" being offensive.

-D

P.S. Y'see what I did thar?

[Chuluka]

I'm gunna also add a gay. tag due to people playing like five year olds (always wanting to be on the winning team)

[Pagan]

Is there anything I can say that will make you change your mind?

[wir]

Well, you've got pretty high goals there man. Really, you want to change his mind....


Talking about stacking and stuff, SGS needs to fix the autobalance system.

Ex.
RED has 7 skilled clan members, who joined the same team and are pulling off clan strategies, they're completely steamrolling BLU. BLU team has 12 guys, with they're top guy falling last compared to RED's guys. Suddenly 3-4 people on RED leave, they continue to steamroll, even when they're down 4 guys. Still, SGS will move BLU's best 2 players over to RED, for game balance.

That, is such fail.

[GenericUserName]

It is truly sad when you see a player get auto-balanced, jump straight into spectator mode wait there for several minutes till someone joins the game and jump back into their old team, you know who you are so I won't mention names - I don't mind the stacking and am quite happy to take on entire clans single handed with my bone saw but it will eventually affect the pool of new players to the game who will just get fed up with been slaughtered time and time again and will move on to other games that are more user friendly and fun for them.

Amen to that. Pity they wont come running to UT3 :(

[dislekcia]

You could try a rational argument without resorting to appeals to authority, moral or not. That's been known to change minds on here in the past. But I'd suggest taking it to a new thread :)

[Alpha]

Are most of the .gay "members" NAG staff (freelancers etc)?

[Kharrak]

Are most of the .gay "members" NAG staff (freelancers etc)?

Dunno. It was started by people close to nag, but eventually random people just started slapping the tag on, and suddenly there were "gay."'s everywhere...

[groen]

i take it the gay tag is an anti-clan clan.

Trying to send a message perhaps that clans are gay?
Was wondering why i never saw them partake in a clan match
