I get the best ping on the West Coast server but often don't go there because I can't download the maps straight from the server, like HonC.
Working on that now, hopefully it will be done tonight
I think it'd be awesome to get a full game on that CTF Skyscraper, like actually have people defending and people who are actually good a rocket/sticky jumping going after the flag.
Agreed, I arrived too late when the folks where actually playing Skyscraper and all left. Ended up playing with only a friend to test it out. I can see with even a half empty game, it would still be entertaining.
It was awesome and highlariously infuriating. Like when I finally got to what I thought was the top and Mooman sticky jumped next to me and killed me (ff was on). Quite possibly the most horrific thing that I've ever experienced in this game, cause it took me at least a half hour to get up there.

Hell, there was only myself and another and it took me quite awhile (Tried Soldier for awhile to realize it was much more difficult) I can only assume it's ten times more chaotic and fun with people.
Personal Note: FF must be on for that map, makes it so much better.

What's the biggest map that people generally play? I've only played the maps on the 360 version... are there a lot of custom maps floating around? I'll be getting TF2 on PC when my computer is done.
Hey, pmavers, I played on a Dustbowl-esque map last night called Jailbreak or something along those lines. I only played with about 3-4 on a side, do you know if it's still balanced with full teams? Cause the CPs seemed really easy to defend.

So... how fucked up are the map timers? Usually when time ran out it finishes the round, but lately we've been having timeouts and the round ends automatically, with one side or the other winning without actually, you know, winning. It's a little jarring.
And Job... your server is being weird. It doesn't wait for players, goes right to setup. Also, I think its insta-spawn, and on dustbowl it just kept playing the first one over and over. I want the 3rd one. It is epic. Best map ever. I think those are the three things I've noticed, but they've been like that for a while. But no one ever says anything because they are too busy killing one another to remember for very long.
Also, it now ends all of the sudden (I assume when its supposed to, but normally the map continues until there is a winner/time runs out) and one team is declared the winner. Seeing the amount of complaints that gets, I think it was liked better the other way.
You don't advance stages in dustbowl if the offense doesn't cap both points. If the defense...defends...you switch sides and they get a chance to attack from the beginning.
And if thats the case, I didn't realize. I guess it hadn't happened that both teams defend the 1st point while I was playing, but the insta-respawn probably had something to do with that.

Yeah, I can agree with that. Last night whenever I had an Uber and took out the Heavy/medic/engi that were on the point they were already charging back in by the time the uber was finished. It's like a constant stream of defenders throwing their bodies at me until my kill limit is reached or time runs out.

As best as I can tell, when the map timer runs out the declared winner is not the team that was ahead for that round, but the team that won the most rounds on that map. So if the other team wins the first round of CTF Well and the map timer expires with your team ahead in caps 3-0, you still lose 0-1.
It's dumb. It should wait for the mission timer to run out before switching maps, or at least force sudden death to get a winner for that round.

Are you talking number of people or map size. Some servers are moded to play 32 people. All the PA servers cap at 24 people. There are a lot of custom maps and 2 PA servers run valve maps and 2 PA servers run custom maps. The PA forums member favorite maps are Gravelpit, Dustbowl, and Granery. Typically 2Fort, CTF Well, and Hydro are disliked. But we play all the valve maps including the new released Badlands. The Custom Maps are a mixed bag of good and bad.
Ah man, I used to hate hydro with such sever hopping passion.
Whyyyyyyy? Even though some configs end up being an excersise in who can break the stalemate, it's still a fun map. Oh, I guess 'used to' was the phrase I really supposed to pay attention to in that sentence.
Hehe, yeah. I actually rather like the map now. My favorites are still granary and dustbowl but hydro has it's place in my heart.
In other news, I've had mortal komBONK playing for a day now in staggered music players. It's the single most amusing thing I've ever heard. I'm also fairly sure that I'll be permanently scarred from listening to it so much. AN ARMY OF CHICKENS IS BAWKING IN MY HEAD.

32 player servers, while fun, will end in stalemate more frequently than I prefer. You can win on a 24 player server without having to coordinate every move, but unless your team is really on top of shit, you're never going to win a game of Dustbowl on a 32 player server.

I had fun playing with you guys tonight. I'm glad I decided to give your server another chance, because when there are no people acting like it's the 4chan server it is REALLY fun. It's nice to feel like you're actually part of a team instead of the "every man for himself" mentality that pub servers are rife with.

I like the rules on 4chan servers.
"Please limit micspam to 4 people at a time, to let others request songs as well."

I like how they get pissed off if you mute them. That's really the only reason I go to their server, to mute and taunt them.
Medics win games. I've said it from the start. I'll say it if I'm the medic healing or the heavy getting healed.
And actually, you won't find myself getting healed very often without thanking the medic on voice. Makes me feel better for spamming the medic button...
also dominating flippy was pretty much the best thing ever

I actually really like the round ending with a declared winner. Its better than the old method of the round just up and ending randomly and we all get the scoreboard screen.

Isn't the whole point of having a patch to REDUCE the number of bugs in the game?
Hmm maybe Valve has a give/take system...they get rid of 2-3 bugs that people have been complaining about for a while and then add a new 1 in for them to find.
So...maybe these "bugs" are just different types of achievements/easter eggs.

It happens, there's no reason to get pissed off about it. It's just one of those things; you squash a bug, two more pop up in its place. We should be lucky that it works as well as it does.

If you do not have a display pic, you are a pubfag and can be permabanned to much lulz. If you complain about the thirty minute orgasm, you are a pubfag and can be permabanned to much lulz. If you mute someone, you are a newfag and can be banned to much lulz. If you tell someone how to mute apart from f10, you are either a newfag or a moron and can be banned to much lulz. If you whine about being called a filthy insert racial slur of your choice here, you are not only a pubfag, but an insert racial slur of your choice here and WILL be banned to much lulz. And a replay of the thirty minute orgasm. If you challenge Moot, you are a moron and will be temp banned to much lulz. If you hog the mic spam you 'may' be temp banned to much lulz, though server mewts are more common. If you have a tag, you are a clanfag and will be banned to much lulz.

He killed me with his submachine gun. I was playing a heavy.
*sob*
But i was happily owning tonight as medic.
I think i was "credit to team"
Well, I won't say that's really sad...
No, yes I will. That's pretty sad.

And I've come to the conclusion that you love rocketing me when I'm a heavy with medic bitch at my side. :twisted:
And actually, you won't find myself getting healed very often without thanking the medic on voice. Makes me feel better for spamming the medic button...

So I ran.
Lets keep quiet about it though, kay? I think I'm gonna need to lay low for a while.

I'm sure you can see the pattern here.
