[QUOTE=Oizen;50675878]Sure in a wide open area and only there.
Any place else Soldier kills scout.
The match up is 50:50 at best, and Scout at a disadvantage every other time.[/QUOTE]
actually is the other way around
scout shits on soldier when there's a ton of obstacles to stay elevated and never get hit by splash

[QUOTE=LZoleee;50675904]Did they change how abandoning works in MvM? I just failed a wave in mann up, and when I wanted to disconnect, it was still giving me that abandoning message with that orange door logo.[/QUOTE]
mvm inherits everything from MM so yes, you are not dreaming, it really is that way.
[QUOTE=Demo-the-man;50675872]I do not feel like playing on community servers with a buncha mods tricking peeps with their filters.
I guess I can play on Skial EU servers, consdiering you can get rid of the logo :V[/QUOTE]You're speaking as if ALL community servers are gimmicky Clown Fiestas overrun with bullshit plugins. If you join ba_minecraft_trade_kekx33 and not find the gameplay you expected dont blame it on the server browser.
It sure is fun being matched with hackers with no option to kick them or to leave the game.
[QUOTE=housejojo06;50675698]Comp says I don't have a phone number linked to my account, but I have had a number linked for about 6 months. Can anyone help me?[/QUOTE]
Exit TF2, go to your account details, manage phone number and verify your number again, that fixed it for me

People aren't blaming the server browser.
This game is old, and up until yesterday valve has seemingly been trying to kill custom servers.
And now suddenly they're the only option to really play the game casually, but the only custom servers left are those gimmicky plugin servers that no one really wants to play.
Valve servers were not great, but they were a way to play the vanilla game, something thats actually pretty rare to see in a custom server.
[QUOTE=Different;50675894]I personally see [I]no[/I] massive buff with the increased default spy speed since most spies don' t disguise as medic/scout. So, Its 100% most of the time.
And i would love to point out that:
- Disguising as a medic sucks because no one plays medic in pubs.
- Disguising as a scout is way off and very noticeable.[/QUOTE]
Scout's an excellent disguise for hiding behind obstacles and going for picks after decloaking, actually. The key is to stay out of sight until right before the kill, or play aggressively enough for that not to matter.
Spy's speed is at his max when he's cloaked, regardless of his current disguise, so it's still a great boost in manueverability. As soon as the disguise is dropped- say, when enemies are alerted to the Spy's presence- the speed boost gives him a small leg up in escaping or in landing tricky matadors.
Just watch Valve fix casual next week, with a "secret" reasoning beeing "we wanted people to play community servers more" or something like that :v:
Since the update, whenever I press the "find a match" button on the main menu, sweet FA happens. Anyone else get this problem?

That's not secret reasoning, it's obviously the intention. If people weren't dependent on quickplay for finding games and Valve didn't fuck over community servers before, we wouldn't be having an issue now.
Even so, the demand for community servers will create new ones to fill in the gap left behind by Valve pubs disappearing. It's $20-25 USD on average to host a 24-slot TF2 server for a month. Split between multiple people, this is not a large amount of money.
Disable HTML MOTDs and learn to server browse. My Server list is full of populated community servers right now, as it should be.

Are you using a custom HUD? they're broken atm
Edit: Isn't there a Facepunch server up? Could have sworn there was.

Ah yeah that's the problem, thanks dude

You know it well inside that your claims are massive hyperboles. They are mostly subjective and has no proof. In my 8 years of TF2 I've never opened the server browser and said "Good heavens, I can't find a gimmickless vanilla server to play".
Look I hate valve as much as the next person but for fuck sake at least hate them for the right reasons.
Yeah, competitive ended up just as I thought it would:
Steamrolled every single match, mostly because rank 1 is just a big big mixing pot of differently skilled players
There's absolutely no communication in the teams. I seriously thought I had voice_enable set to 0 at first.
People abandon all the time, penalty STILL isn't harsh enough.
Unless you're playing with a team there's no reason to actually play. There's no minimap like in CS:GO so solo queuing in TF2 MM is almost impossible.
Why do player outlines even go away after the beginning of the match?
[QUOTE=riki2cool;50676073]Steamrolled every single match[/QUOTE]
That must be nice

people to actually play matches. Also why the hell there are no placement matches in 6v6?
Valve, please add a "Join game in progress" ticker for casual
You would take abandoners spots and since you only get exp for your actions, it's not like you can cheap exp by joining games about to finish
Can somebody tell me what needs to get some experience in casual? My stats finally got registered in the match but apparently no exp.
At least the only thing i learned from MM is to just pick attack\defense, that's probably the least problematic and not too time consuming to play.
[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;50676088]Why do player outlines even go away after the beginning of the match?[/QUOTE]
It would be distracting, and make Spy's job infinitely harder.
[QUOTE=ElderLolz;50676060]So as far as I can see they turned Quicklplay into anything but Quickplay since you need 30 minutes to get a proper match?[/QUOTE]
Yesterday that was the case. Today I'm getting into matches within 60 seconds.
[QUOTE=AD/HD;50676090]That must be nice[/QUOTE]
Yeah, sure is.
I'm really surprised by how friendly most players have been though. There's never really any shouting or toxicity, and the enemy team hasn't really been taunting us that much when we're getting 2-0'd in less than 2 minutes.
Might be because no one's talking :/
Are they re-adding Valve servers to the browser? I found a rogue Valve payload server that I'm in now
I've already had several good matches in casual play.
I honestly don't think I've had this much fun in pubs in quite a long time either. Feels like people are actually trying... *gasps*
I'm expecting a patch today as valve usually releases them very promptly after large updates. Hopefully they will bring back pubs as we know it and fix bugs the update has brought. :pcrepair:
Casual is gonna be better than pubs once it's functional.
[QUOTE=Magypsy;50676130]It would be distracting, and make Spy's job infinitely harder.[/QUOTE]
The outlines being added was actually a big nerf to Spies- gotta undisguise if you're anywhere near spawn, which is unfortunate.

Off-topic, but what the [I]fuck[/I], Reddit?
Casual is gonna be better than pubs once it's working.
They are more fun/team based.
If you wanna fuck around and be friendly heavy there's community servers for that.
Just remove the penalty and add join in progress button and no pubs needed.
[QUOTE=ned_ballad;50676143]Are they re-adding Valve servers to the browser? I found a rogue Valve payload server that I'm in now[/QUOTE]
There's a lot of imitation servers around since the update's launch, chances are it isn't a real server
i'm honestly more worried about the current state of balance than valve pubs
scout really didn't need to be buffed
