Tf2's Goal And Direction

Dynas By Dynas, in HeLLsGamers News, , 54 comments, 2543 views

TF2 needs to revamp itself if it wants to stay relevant. We need to be more active and part of our goal and direction moving forward into 2013 is to get our community excited again and keep things interesting and alive.

We were discussing where we want this division to go in teamspeak. And to sum up everything and keep our goal simple, we need to start to get our community more active. I realize that the inactivity of late isn't really the community's fault. Times change, we've had several server problems, vip has been broken, and trust has been lost.

 

But if we want to keep this division and wonderful community alive and strong we need to get our community active again.

How do we increase the activity of our community?

  • More Events
  • Recruiting
  • Revamp VIP
  • VIP Giveaways
  • Server Navigation from server to server. (basically if i'm in trade I can go to a game server)
  • Unusual Hat effects for VIP (per digital)

I'm not too familiar with what maps are currently popular in TF2, but there may need to be a shift in what maps are used on particular servers (seeing a lot of 0s even during primetime for some TF2 servers).

We used to have several servers with 0's and we consolidated many of them into servers that hosted more popular maps. Part of why we think our server population is low is because of our rankings and how the the quickplay/matchmaking system works.

I think the real problem is that I don't even remember the last time I saw an HG member in one of the tf2 servers (that is other than MvM, but it's still rare there too).

NOTE THIS IS FOR THE TRADING SERVERS

 

 

 

Hey Guys, I had some Ideas on how to spice up the tf2 division!

 

As a trader and experienced player( In tf2 trade servers) I have seen some things that’s bring trade servers players, interests and also brings in more revenue for communities.

 

I notice the more perks a donator(VIP in this case) has. The more they feel to donate. Also these perks don't really give an advantage except for the resize modifications (It decreases the size of your hit box) and the jetpack for the obvious flying reasons.

 

As We Mainly Use A minecraft Map(It attracts the lower aged trader usually). They love their perks.

I have also a provided a few requested with descriptions to enhance the server! These are for the everyday players!

 

 

Enough Talking Lets Get To The Point!

 

 

******Average Player Perks*******

 

 

 

(Aim Names)

 

Description:

 

This is a fairly simple plugin. It just shows names of enemies you place your crosshair on(and health for admins). The plugin uses client prefs and allows players to change the settings for themselves. Screenshots are located at the bottom.

([TF2] backpack.tf Price Check)

 

Description:

 

Official backpack.tf price check plugin! Downloads the latest price list from backpack.tf every hour and provides a !pc (or !pricecheck) command that allows users to quickly look up the prices of items. Usage: !pc item name. The item name can be partial, for instance !pc napper's will present prices for Napper's Respite. Displays prices for all qualities, including unusual. Put the item name in quotes for an exact match, for instance !pc "mann co. supply crate". !pc without any item name will present a list of all items.

 

The price list is updated every hour automatically. When a price list update is loaded, a notification (in the form of HUD text in the top-left of the screen + an audible alert) is displayed to all users, followed by a list of all prices that have changed in the past hour. Example:

A rotational server?

 

 

I get on Orange pretty often and I am yet to see one HG recruit, member, or veteran. All the admins are non HG. To fix this (this probably won't happen), but with servers we have a lack of admins on, we could do what we did with the gungame server, give out admin.

This has actually been implemented now on Degroot server for admins/vip's, and on the server for the winter formal event for everyone. Should be on more servers soon after we work out a few lingering bugs with the effects.

 

For VIP one idea that I always bring up is unusual hat effects for people who are vip.

Yeah like some effects floating the wrong way and effects staying on parts of the map. Shoutout to Bonbon for adding the effects.

I'm going to bump this thread because I wanna ask the community what kind of gamemodes they wanna play for tf2. Regular TF2 starts to get boring after a while and I think it's time to change things up.

 

We currently have a Zombie Fortress server but I might change it to a jump server because I miss rocket jumping through maps and I think it would be a good server for people to learn how to rocket jump.

 

Post below what kind of server/gamemode you want and we will look over your suggestions.

Hunger Games-

Put this in skype but then my stupid internet cut out for 3 hours-

 

I think someone could combine King of the hill, control points, and deathmatch to create like a hunger games type gamemode where you are stripped to melee (pretty much like mid evil mode, there are a few exceptions to it, so you can use huntsman/crusaders crossbow) and then you capture a control point and earn perks and more ammo and stuff, meanwhile traps are set up to give you disadvantages, like getting hit by something, making noise, etc.

 

Jailbreak-

Already talked to you about this

I played Jailbreak once like 4 years ago in CSS lol so my knowledge of it is terrible. Also there isn't a public mod for jailbreak on tf2, only certain community servers have a custom tf2 jailbreak running so we would need to get somebody like Bonbon to help out with this.
