• What do you give your donators?

[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;32093640]The question I ask is why they don't autobalance the people doing worse instead of the ones doing best, as if you take away a team's best player they might start losing, meaning the autobalance has to fix the other team.[/QUOTE] The autobalance is a bit weird if only one player is doing well. It is meant to balance the best and the worst players out as much as it can. But if only one player is doing exceptionally well, they throw the entire formula off. And if the other players are about equal, it can't really balance them without unbalancing the number of members in a team (no matter how good your best player is, that will overwhelm them). I don't think Valve thought too much about what happens when just one player is doing well as they would never really have expected that to happen in a team focused game.
autobalance immunity, humiliation round immunity, green name or something. >orange oh, then balance doesn't matter. Give them crits only if they spend $100+, you'll be rich!
Can we not turn this into a flame war about autobalance immunity. I just need some cool things I could give donators that arent gamebreaking

I think changing the name colour of the donator is quite subtle yet effective.
[QUOTE=macdoo999;32094294]I think changing the name colour of the donator is quite subtle yet effective.[/QUOTE] Which plugin is this?
[QUOTE=Warstories;32093945]How would he make the wrench change, with TF2 Items and stay like that[/QUOTE] I dunno, he made it possible for donators to have the golden wrench replace the regular wrench and for certain donator's hats to have unusual effects.

A pat on the back.
I ban them
I give them money. Wait...
On the Facepunch server, we get a thank you type thing in the forum thread.
Reserved slot If you have that "only 1 of each class" thing enabled or something, let them be whatever Maybe that one hats mod enabled for them Let them color themselves or something
If I had servers, anybody who donated gets this 30 second music that plays when they join. Like a little clip of a song or video or something. I remember a css server having this.

That is the [B]absolute worst[/B] non-gameplay enhancing extra you can give someone for donating as the music is always awful, it's either shit like Linkin Park or wubstep. Just give them access to some fun, but harmless SourceMod commands or something. Nothing that can help them in gameplay, but things that they can do to themselves like colour changing, self-ignition and slapping.
I blacklist every server I find that has reserved slots for donators. Pisses me off to no end.
[QUOTE=Warstories;32091950]Extras such as what exactly? O.o[/QUOTE] A special "welcome" message on the server maybe. Or Specials such as server-side unusuals.

[QUOTE=DatWut?;32099435]Opinions. :v: I for one like Linkin Park.[/QUOTE] Some of their earlier albums, go for it, they were decent. But the newer stuff gets on my nerves for some reason. Still better than wubstep.
Not including the linkin park songs people could still pick annoying micspam or something with really loud bass to burst people's eardrums, or just annoying meme things. Unusual effects is a good idea, but you could do something like RTD that doesn't have anything really gamebreaking like time-limit immunity, it'd give people something to play with. Just thought I'd add that since I haven't seen it yet.
If I ever get a server, I'm going to have it so that you get unusual effects on your buildings when you donate. And Hats on your buildings. [h2]I WILL FIND A WAY[/h2]
A server I play on puts giant "HEY GUYS THIS IS A DONATOR RIGHT ~HERE~ GUYS" signs above their heads with an arrow pointing at them.

I for one like 60s music. But people who like shitty music wouldn't donate.
Music taste is subjective and there's no need to act pretentious because you "like music from X arbitrary time period".
What plugin gives custom welcome messages and unusual hat effects? And golden wrench
A slap across the face.
I'd just say thanks for supporting the server and carry on. I hate donator perks in all of their entirety.
Endround humiliation immunity, teambalanced immunity. In game chat text is a different colour.
Give them a Saxxy.
