TF2 Dedicated Server

[Trippy]

That would make it Dustbowl, Granary, Dustbowl. If you wanted to double up Dustbowl (and leave out Hydro) better to have something like

Granary
Dustbowl
2fort
Well
Dustbowl
Gravelpit

Yep. Another godaddy employee. So is whitebandit.

Ask dannyBstyle if he's hacking :) that flamethrower of his seems to do more damage than anyone elses!

How do pyro crits work? Maybe it's something I'm missing.

Holy fuck this kid is annoying. Last night after most of the admins left he was constantly yelling random shit in to the mic, and talking nonsense. At one point I had to yell at him to shut up cause he was just screaming shit like "nananannanan gabagabagabagab slaba slaba slaba slaba slaba na na na na la la la la la".

Not to mention the voice chat sounded like the VN boards. "Hey you, I hope you fucking get cancer and die", "No, I hope YOU get cancer and die, or catch aids".

Pyros get a sort of ubercrit. Basically for 2-3 seconds from every charge, it's a perm crit flame. Visibly there's no difference. It's total total bullshit.

Danny is not hacking. Not to slight the guy, but it's neither his style nor easy enough to do (like most gamers, laziness overwhelms the urge to track that shit down). He'd rather just jump in and play.

To be fair, I make fun of the balls on his mom's face all day.

The comments dont bug me that much at all, it was the screaming random shit in to the mic, and never shutting up that annoyed me. I mean, going on and on and on about random shit interspaced with gibberish noises. It was like some one let their 12 year old add kid stay up way past his bedtime, and gave him a IV of pure sugar for about 3 hours then let him loose on our server.

Also for those of you who I was talking to last night, where I said I liked the map that was like 2Fort but the base was smaller. I think it was Mach2 I was talking about. Its basic design is like 2Fort, with 2 bases, and they have an open space in between them, also with sewers connecting them. But since the base is smaller, it leads to much more fast paced game play, and its much harder to turtle vs a strong offensive push.

I wish more people would play on the custom map server, but its been empty for the last 3 days when I have logged on.

How do pyro crits work? Maybe it's something I'm missing.

Crits happen more frequently the better you're doing.  The other night I was able to ambush a 3-man squad from behind and kill them all without any crits going off, but from that point on until I died, EVERY hit was a crit.  It's like the "MULTIKILL" and "GODLIKE" from UT, but instead of the announcer complimenting you, you do double damage.   :-D

Wait, WHAT?! Are you fucking kidding me? Seriously?! Holy shit, it's like the easy button just got a smaller, similarly colored 'hand of god' button on the side. I have GOT to try this out. I did NOT know this.

And you think I'm "JOKING AROUND" when I complain about pyros.

Yea........... I'm not.

[bhodi]

How long until the crit 'recharges'? I assume you can't spam it on and off to reset the timer..... right? RIGHT?

You'll be complaining about how uber soldiers are after I get done raping your face Sunday.

Wherein the raper becomes the rapee? Because I'm going to shove a bat right up your ass.

[Strazos]

I think you're misunderstanding....the crit is not something you can control....it just happens from time to time...

But, the pyro flame being what it is, one tick of crit flame would be useless, so...when you crit as a pyro, if you keep the flame on, every tick for 2-3 seconds or so is a crit. There is no "recharge."

[schild]

Wrong. It's not every 2 or 3 seconds. It's every 15-30 seconds, but it lasts for 2-4 seconds.

It will kill anything in it's way dead. It's like the burst crit from Heavies chaingun.

[Samwise]

Or the soldier's crit rockets.  I love those things.   

[Der Helm]

Wait a second, those glowie projectiles are what do the crit damage ... 

 

[Slayerik]

I find I get them more when I'm down to low health, but I may be trippin.

[Strazos]

I seem to die to random crit rockets more than anything else.

[Samwise]

Random crit rockets are my anti-sniper.  What's yours?

[rattran]

I find a sniper rifle makes a decent anti-sniper. I don't find it much use for anything else though.

A flame and an axe make the best anti-spy.

[schild]

Dressing up as a sniper is my anti-sniper.

[lesion]

you guys are all too good--I'm getting burnt out after only a few games (pun'd). loads of fun though!

[Slayerik]

Fun stuff tonight. And Freshfruit is banned from competition... ;)

And the same applies for any continuous fire weapons, most obviously the heavy, but also shit like the sniper SMG.

Crit periods happen randomly (influenced by how well you are doing), and last a few seconds, and every shot in the period is a crit.

You can't (afaik) get more crits by stopping firing and starting again or any crazy nonsense like that.

[Strazos]

I thought the SMG had the same rules as the rile; head shots are crits.

[schild]

Wrong.

[Sky]

Bioshock is my anti-sniper.

[eldaec]

Incidentally, with the sniper rifle, head shots are always effectively crits, but non-headshots can also be crits.

[rattran]

I swear, TF2 is going to drive me to invent a way to punch someone in the crotch over the internet. Fucking engineers that build teleports that are useless, disensers at the home point on Granary at the start of the match, and spies will be the first targeted.


Consider yourselves warned.

[cmlancas]

I'm under the impression that Engineers are overpowered. On defense maps I'm constantly working people over and over. Perhaps my competition sucks?

[Nerf]

Yes, it does, a lone spy can absolutely wreck an engie or two (if they don't suck).  Now, throw a pyro in there with a dispenser for some everlasting torch goodness, and you CAN get some seriously tough fucking setups.  But, for the mostpart, most people suck.

[Samwise]

Even the toughest pyro+sentry+dispenser setup can be thoroughly raped by one demoman lobbing grenades from behind cover.
