Major Update Speculation V31: Gamechanging Edition - Games

Yeah I forgot to say I played my first and only match on Process but _Pai already ninjamined me. From what I heard Turbine was shit in competitive anyway but I'm wondering if anyone played Doublecross, how was it?

So if the Competitive button is 'intermittently available' does that mean we need to keep restarting the client? When I tried the console command it wanted a Comp pass.

I think it has some sort of listener to GC, so my guess would be you don't need to restart for it to appear. Not sure tho.

anddd itss back! hopefully for more than 5 minutes this time

Button reappeared for me.

First match we couldn't move, so we Conga'd to point. It was actually more fun than actually playing the game, I think. Also, comps down again.

Got a full match in, only issue was the podium not displaying at the end of the game.

It's gone again for me. Anyone else?

and its down again noice! edit: its back

[QUOTE=testinglol;49866631]abusing the system for profit is not nice in any way. you are ruining a great thing.. they will stop if people keep doing that. really low[/QUOTE] To be fair though, it wouldn't happen if valve would literally take thirty seconds out of one guy's day to look at the item they're updating to see if it's not genuinely game breaking or not. Utterly baffling how little shit they give when this is a company who's brilliant reputation is based in pathological dedication to iterations, studying, testing and tuning things

[QUOTE=LZoleee;49867353]The game just printed "Item server is shutting down.." into the console. Didn't see that before :v:[/QUOTE] it's over guys, they're sunsetting team fortress 2. it's official. [sp]:^)[/sp]

Once I learned where to go (never played ctf_doublecross before) it was very fun. I was playing Scout and a Quick-Fix medic ran with me on our intel adventure and we won nearly every DM fight on the way. I had a lot of fun because it was TF2 matchmaking, but I would've had a lot more fun on any other map. :P

I've joined two games in a row now but the matches ended instantly because of someone leaving.

[QUOTE=EwanLan;49867864][t]http://i.imgur.com/NPW9ldO.jpg[/t] atleast you had people to play against[/QUOTE] one of the ppl on your team is a scrap.tf raffler, beg them for items

I played TWO matches, one alone and one with a friend. I managed to top score on both of them and some dude from the second match added me to his friend list. By the way, sometimes the game does not show up the winning screen (Your team and stuff). Not sure if it's client-side or happens to everybody. Love the winning screen though [IMG]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/305488301208967754/0FDAC127D9CEB1B7C6B213E8F926AEB7E01EF60D/[/IMG] (The only soldier we have is me, by the way.)

3rd match. 4vs6 people, because 2 people on the opposite team left. We actually started very rough because ALL people in our team had ~200 ping.

Did my first match [t]http://i.imgur.com/oLOaWfw.jpg[/t] gold for days !

just got put into low priority even though i didnt abandon at all rip :( EDIT: looks like it might be over now? the item server and GC is up but matchmaking isn't, i think?

man this stress test has been going on for almost 3 hours how long do you think it will last?

[QUOTE=Tennate;49868063]man this stress test has been going on for almost 3 hours how long do you think it will last?[/QUOTE] it's done

Man, I am now fucking pumped about competitive. Every game I got into had people on comms calling plays etc. That was a blast.

That stress test was horrible. If MM gets popular at all, those downtimes will be commonplace if Valve doesn't do anything.

[QUOTE=Snowshoe;49868147]That stress test was horrible. If MM gets popular at all, those downtimes will be commonplace if Valve doesn't do anything.[/QUOTE]the whole point of a stress test is to see how many people are interested and fix all the kinks. i really wouldnt worry about the sort of issues that we just experienced happening in the full product.

Really, it ended ten minutes before I got home? Come on.

If you hold tab, you can look through the countdown and you can rocket jump through the door in matchmaking I saw b4nny doing it on his stream, he got to mid like 6 seconds before anybody else
