Rapt0r J3sus Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 well, its not like it helps that we have so many servers. i mean sure it will help if more people see the servers because there are more of them but theres seldom anyone in them, let alone the good ones. i say we minimize our servers, focus on a few really good ones, and go from there.

I'm disagreeing so hard right now. If only you could see it. Maintaining the servers is the easy part. Having various flavors is a good thing. Don't knock it. We can't all fit into hoodoo at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEE SUPER GERMAN! Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Monkey's right, more servers=more variety=more range of people depending on what maps they play=more HG members. Reading all these comments has really made me happy, knowing that many people understand the balance issue with TF2. This game is designed to be extremely balanced in its gameplay. It's not one of those games where you can dramatically change while keeping balance, and I'm sorry to say this people, but TF2 is just not CSS. tl;dr TF2 is not CSS Edit: Oh and Monkey, I'd bring this up in Skype but I don't have a microphone atm, friend borrowed it and lost it =X I'll see if I can bring it up at the next E.M meeting or Skype when I get another one.

Phate Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Can we lower max bot count then? I hate the false numbers. Maybe we can have a max of 6 bots? That would make a server more fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreksob Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Yes, that is why I proposed that each class get different perks to balance the classes. As a community, we can decide what those are. while its true that individual bonuses could help to not unbalance the game, they have to be though out very carefully. One of the main problems with vip perks is that (at least on hoodo) most of the VIP are good players (or perhaps they are good because of the vip, but i doubt it) So even a small perk will unbalance the game. Think of it like boxing, if you assume all the world champions are of equal skill, then pitting a heavyweight vs a light heavyweight is almost always going to come out as a victory for the heavyweight. But the world champion light heavyweight could probably beat an unranked heavyweight, or at least it might be a fair fight. So if you give vip perks, its basically taking two people of even skills (or uneven skills in favor of the vip) and then moving the vip up a weight class, unless said perks are thought out very carefully. having said that, i have some suggestions, I think snipers would be ok to have a +10hp on a kill. It would give them just a little extra hp to get away, but it wouldn't make them op, because most of their kills are at range. (might be a problem with the huntsman tho) give demos and rockets a slight movement boost, it will allow them to get to the battlefield, but as long as it is only a slight movement boost, it wont change much by way of how they fight. Give pyros a slightly longer burn time, like 2 seconds, it would help them get a few more kills after the battle, and it would help them kill spies, but it would do so without changing the actual battle very much. (i think it would help with post-mortem kills) (might be a problem with the deagreaser+axestinguisher (dunno if thats spelled right)) thats all i can think of atm.

Having various flavors is a good thing. Don't knock it. We can't all fit into hoodoo at the same time. i guess i see what you mean. but even then, we should still get rid of RTD on a few at least. Maybe lost the fake player count on all of them. and yes, i know that valve has designed the bot AI's but it doesnt mean we have to use them.

Mx_Paladin -Asian- Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) Rather than the list Homer made, I suggest - WORKING Reserved Slots w/ console connect - Auto-balance immunity - Ping Immunity - Immunity to the class limiter - Round end protection - Extreme speed boost at end round win or lose. - Colored chat - In-game chat ads disabled - Ability to use !swapteam/!Dark/!glow - More health on spawn (Degradable like overheal) - - Low gravity - - Spy cloak Replenish Increase - Special player color - Changeable field of view - 15% (Stacks with Vita-Saw) ubercharge on spawn - Medic: Ability to drop med kits at cost of ubercharge - Can have unusual effects added to player's equips - Custom headwear - Can start map/kick/ban/mapskip votes - Out of spawn immunity (5 Seconds) - Slightly Faster recharge (Buff Banner/Targe etc.) - Less ammo consumption on sentries Edited April 8, 2011 by Mx_Paladin -Asian- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjabreadman Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 i do think we should get rid of the fake player count. its wasting peoples time to have to join the server just to see how many people are in it. the player count is there for a reason: to tell you how many accual people are in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitalshot Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 with console connect, if the server is full, it kicks somebody who isn't vip so you can get into the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreksob Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 with console connect, if the server is full, it kicks somebody who isn't vip so you can get into the server. oo, i thought it meant they could access the console in-game. then its fine. if they can access the console then they can give themselves any weap (engi w/flamethrower) (or the army of one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
