Where I live the only normal gameplay server that has people most of the time has like 50 shitty mods including text occuping a good part of the screen after you die, RTD, a shitty merasmus voice over that is loud as fuck, ranking and the like.

The worst of all is that you can't really restrict this mods without fucking something else up-

Just an FYI if you look at the CSGO link again Valve has backpedaled from not allowing custom models/skins for weapons that don't exist in CSGO. You still can't provide skins to players who don't have them though.
Well I doubt there's gonna be an Update today so here's hoping for monday/tuesday
I don't expect anything more than localization files and bugfixes until Tough Break is over.

I mean why would they make that just to wait like what a month or two to do something with it? Also does tough break end march 1st or march 31st?

The problem is that Valve, pretty much put out a message that was like "You run anything that modifies the visual appearance of the game, then bye bye." and the ban isn't just with CS:GO, it bans your servers in other games aswell. If no one kicked off about this, they would've brought this over to TF2, and then bye bye servers running, Freak Fortress, Prop Hunt & VS Saxton Hale and any other gamemodes that changed the player model because Valve really didn't think this through at all. And this just adds to the current ongoing issue with the webhelper since December and still no one is talking about it. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed2gWF3tM0Y]I even made a video about it[/url] to try and gain some attention, I'd post it here myself in a thread of its own but I know some people really dislike self-advertising, even if you're a long time user of the forums, at least thats what I get from it all. I'm just upset because the past two years I've spent working on a custom gamemode, one that, from the looks of things is going to end within a few months if Valve continues to act the way they do and it just hurts. My only last resort is to see if people on my servers think my work is worth supporting on Patreon. I'm just one of the few caught up in this mess... [sp]And, sorry for this long post that resulted into me complaining, I never like to do this, BUT NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT. And I know some people don't like my servers, which is fine, but try to understand that I'm a person like anyone else and Valve is handling this in a way like they don't care. And that's extremely worrying.[/sp]

Valve did a good job with the Group beta thing. Opening it up for public would be a disaster, since every gibus would just click on the shiny new option and play comp without actually caring about it, ruining everything. Having the Invites be group-only limits the amount of people drastically, and you can be sure that the people invite atleast care enough about comp that they'd click a button to join a group.
They're probably waiting for the group to plateau in numbers before handing out passes. It's growth is slowing significantly already, so that might not be far down the road at all.
Valve cares more about their game economies than community servers or mods. I don't know why anyone is surprised about this. If it came to TF2 I certainly wouldn't be.
Y'know what. Valve needs to fucking fix gift wrap by now. It's been broken for something like a month and we've had no word on if it's even gonna be re-added. I have a trade possibly two where I kinda need gift wrap or it can't happen

Competitive would be an excellent ways to make a system where you can automatically win a cosmetics if your teams manage to get a victory. Would push people to play the objective, i guess.. Still, i really want some ways to get free cosmetics out of trading. Call me lazy if you want, but i don't feel like trading..

If the matchmaking system is free they could tie weapon drops into matches like mini-contracts, like every three wins or five games in general you get a weapon. That way idling is gone and after a while you can get the ability to craft a hat.

Like maybe Stranges? but removing normal drops (I'm assuming you mean that) and replacing them with free stuff for wins isn't the best way of going about this

[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;49639497] Isn't the rumor that you have to pay for a matchmaking pass, though?[/QUOTE] why have a pass if its free?
[QUOTE=pepetoads;49639609]why have a pass if its free?[/QUOTE] Matchmaking will likely, and hopefully, not be free.
[QUOTE=Fluury;49640264]Matchmaking will likely, and hopefully, not be free.[/QUOTE] i agree, what I was saying was that there's no point in making a pass if it's going to be free
Friend gave me this, said competitive passes will be handed out in 5 days. Don't know if it's legit. Anyone confirm? [url]http://pastebin.com/pESNW7aW[/url]
