[QUOTE=DahlCeo;50657281]Hey guys guys you know you can go into quickplay and options and make it go to community servers right?[/QUOTE]
The problem is is that it's not default. Lazy people who just want to play a game of TF2 won't check it off, so the only way for community servers to get new people (so that their server can stay afloat) is gone with that
[QUOTE=DahlCeo;50657281]Hey guys guys you know you can go into quickplay and options and make it go to community servers right?[/QUOTE]
This will only connect them to servers that meet Valves quickplay criteria. This means that community servers without certain settings are excluded regardless. Having random crits disabled is just an example.
I want BOTH of them to be buffed and given a new weapon. None of this voting crap.
[QUOTE=SLBros.;50657173]That's actually terrible. They're making people who don't want to give out their info to anyone pay in order to play the game mode. That's locking out part of your playerbase behind a paywall.[/QUOTE]
I would've said "That's not allowing every cheater on the planet just join in and ruin everyone's fun".
At least CS:GO comes with a price, TF2's free to play.
[QUOTE=SLBros.;50657173]Pretty much everybody saw that coming but not that way. This comes out as a way to force people into giving their phone numbers. Either make everyone pay or don't, this is terrible practice, not to mention the ridiculous price.[/QUOTE]
If they [I]really[/I] wanted your phone number they wouldn't have added the $10 easy way out.
[QUOTE=SLBros.;50657173]Also I have yet to understand why associating a phonen umber with your account helps prove player accountability.[/QUOTE]
I guess is the current best compromise to have something widely owned by many users around the world (smarthphone) that can (sort of) guarantee the user's uniqueness.
What would you use otherwise?
[QUOTE=Snowshoe;50657294]Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't CS:GO casual match you into in-progress games?[/QUOTE]
most of the time not but rarely does.

If they are to lazy to do two clicks of a button they shouldn't complain on community servers dying.
How long did the Demo Vs Soldier WAR! last?
[QUOTE=DahlCeo;50657306]If they are to lazy to do two clicks of a button they shouldn't complain on community servers dying.[/QUOTE]
We're not talking about people who complain about community servers dying, those people already go to community servers
We're talking about people, newbies, who use primarily quickplay (as it's the easiest and most advertised) way to play a game. They most of the time won't notice or won't care to check that box, so they won't get matched into community servers. Considering that they're most of the playerbase, that means that community servers won't get people who have already known they existed or found them via server browser. That's the problem.
So is this why there was so much ballonicorn stuff in the new valve store?
Wonder how did someone find that Heavy vs. Pyro day 2 image? Did someone just brainstormed/bruteforced the address bar with random .jpg names?
Well if it's like the previous WAR!
I hope Pyro gets a secondary to compete with Heavy spreadshot.
Whilst Heavy gets a secondary that makes him more of a tank when alone.
Any bets on what will be revealed tomorrow? Balance updates/optimization/taunts? Really hoping for that voice codec update.

They changed two numbers in the image url, basically just educated guessing.
[QUOTE=LZoleee;50657327]Wonder how did someone find that Heavy vs. Pyro day 2 image? Did someone just brainstormed/bruteforced the address bar with random .jpg names?[/QUOTE]
I don't think so. They literally just went one ID up, and changed the url to day 2.

[QUOTE=LZoleee;50657327]Wonder how did someone find that Heavy vs Pyro day 2 image? Did someone just brainstormed/bruteforced the address bar with random .jpg names?[/QUOTE]
The original Reddit post said he just changed the "day1" in the URL to "day2"
EDIT: jeez didnt expect so many people to reply at the same time

They just checked for the next image id in Steam's blog image handling and replaced the 1 with a 2 in the image name.

Day 2
Get hype boys it's real.
Basically Rocket League now
You got casual matches which have a leveling system that goes up the more you play
You got PASS Time which is basically Rocket League's concept
You got matchmaking with ranks
I hope Quick-Fix gets nerfed, especially for Competitive
[QUOTE=Doctor Hunt;50657345]Pack your bags, Pyro mains[/QUOTE]
Sadly WAY more people play Pyro so I'm pretty sure that he's gonna win
I'm rep-ing Heavy though!
Please tell me Pyro is getting a Donald Trump wig
All i hope for this war update is :

But where's the bumper cars?
To quote a Valve employee from the HLDS mailing list after the gunmettle update pushed....
[QUOTE] Todays update also introduces contracts, which currently require players be on official servers to complete. Unfortunately, our current setup makes it very difficult to restrict features like this other than in an all-or-nothing manner, and we determined this was necessary to protect the system from immediate abuse.
We agree this is not ideal. We are continuing the look at the situation with community servers and how we can better support passionate communities, but currently have nothing to announce.[/QUOTE]
It's like they're toying with us. They've called changes that negatively impacted servers "not ideal" for a while and pretend like they care.
I am truly disappointed.
Didn't they add new inspect animations for the flaregun a while back?
Page monitor went off.
EDIT: Seems they just updated the sidebar with the Meet Your Match update.

Perhaps they could have made a version for community servers, but locally. For instance, if I play on skial servers, I have a set rank with skial. I have a different rank for firepowered. I have a different rank for valve servers.

Shit, I just realized that if Valve servers no longer allow ad-hoc connections, I can't farm contracts anymore...
