TF2 General Chat and Speculation Station V6 - Year of the Guard Dog SURVEY IN OP - Games

RTR is pretty garbage, actually. It's really only good for annoying Engineers in pubs, Sapper is a way better get-stuff-done option. The only exception to this is minisentries, which @Kitt Stargazer mentioned in the post above me. Plenty of Spy unlocks got buffed (L'etranger and Big Earner being saved from uselessness are two highlights), but Diamondback got buffed to a disgustingly overpowered state, Enforcer and Ambassador both got nerfed to near-worthlessness, and aside from DR's post-Tough Break stint, it's consistently been nerfed in most of its updates to its...slightly bad but not underpowered current state. Still think some tweaking is needed there. These are fair points, but even with all these changes Spy still remains easily the worst class in the game, and definitely the most situational. Most of my complaints are central around disguise mechanics, which are so riddled with bugs and oversights that it borders on making a disguise-centric playstyle completely useless.

RTR is only sapper +1 if you're chivalrous and like to give the engi a fair chance to respawn and unsap his shit but yeah all that other shit + cloak reduces status effect duration by half + spy counters get nerfs (afterburn, razorback)

Anybody else getting this weird bug on Banana Bay again? https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/132416/d33ad774-7f77-4fbf-9f9a-73bcdb53a26d/20180412221713_2.jpg Happened to me twice today. I think I only ever saw it once during its initial heyday. I had assumed it was fixed.

Did having mat_antialias in a config always give a black screen before the main menu? A bit annoying.

It occasionally happens to me. I think it happens when the map doesn't unpack all the custom assets correctly (I think I'm usually missing the flowers/grass when this happens).

anyone having problems with map vote not working? even before i installed my custom HUD I've had map votes be unusable, and friends in parties with me have reported the same issue

I've been noticing it on occasion it appears the map vote is completely broken. I can't click on any of the maps and none of the maps go above 0%, which gives me the impression no one that's playing on the server can vote for a map either.

Are there any custom maps set on an oil rig? Would like to see one.

there is one used for vs_saxton Hale, so I presume it was an arema map converted for such thing.

I don't think so. Ran into him today after the patch dropped: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjuYwNOvFS8

man, i love being queued against cheaters in competitive and losing 40 MMR because of it. i had 2016 MMR (currently death merchant III) and just because of one bhopping, instant revving, instant capping aimbot brass beast heavy, my chances of getting death merchant tonight is ruined. if you're at a high MMR, don't queue up for comp for now as there's just a duo queue consisting of said heavy and his medic gf who wants free wins. also, hi curly bill. i believe we've met again in that competitive turbine match haha

Gee, if valve actually took anticheat seriously we might not be having this problem. But you can't put that in a case and sell keys for it, so naturally it isn't a priority

I think Valve building a massive server farm and using machine learning to catch cheaters in real time or close to real time is taking cheating seriously. I haven't heard of any other companies trying something like that. Hopefully it works out really well and comes to TF2 soon.

I assumed it got fixed when i upgraded my PC, but nah, still there. I was like "ugh, this map agai-WAIT. WHY??"

Watergate had an issue where assets wouldn't unpack but it was textures in that case, not grass sprites.

Interestingly enough I have not encountered any cheaters in Competitive so far, so either I'm really lucky or there are somewhat rare

I've found I can vote in these situations by using my fixall bind, I've said before I'm pretty sure it's either the start/stop recording bit or hud_reloadscheme that fixes it. This was more fun when voting wasn't restricted to one gamemode, so you could force everyone onto hydro and watch the server empty.

I wonder why this came up.

I have an idea on how to make terretorial control a bit better again,instead of having multiple stages against eachother,how about the gamemode be attack and defend where only the defending team point is the same for all stages but the attacking team stage is diffirent. For example lets say Bunker is red's last point and only stage,followed by three other Blu stages: Riverlake ,Drill and Rooftops.While the last point would be the same,the previous point would be diffirent depending on the stage.That way there will be some limited RNG while also making it less confusing than having two diffirent stages at the same time until one team reaches last.When one team wins the teams switch and the stages alternate one after another but not the same twice a round.

This spy movemenet speed buff is throwing me off. like, I used to switch disguises between pyro, demo, engi, sniper, sometimes medic, sometimes spy, now I just use spy all the time because otherwise I'm slower and it feels odd

I met a group of these {VALVE} script kiddies letting the enemies win a round, then in the next rounds instacapping, aimbotting, and spamming noisemakers sounds. I only got that when playing with donutbigpoland tho, I got zero in solo queue.

How many posters got banned?

Same. I was in a 2fort game, our entire team just agreed to leave the game and leave the kids to hack in peace against each other.

Don't forget you can use Medic as well.

Can ya share your fix all bind?

there's just the snd_restart on top of the other two mentioned: bind ] "record fix; stop; snd_restart; hud_reloadscheme"

Is Hydro's map logic still broken in casual?

Someone should email Eric about it

so apparently i didn't have what it takes to be death merchant? look at these MMR comparisons: my MMR: https://i.imgur.com/9iH58TG.jpg and then there's this guy's MMR: https://i.imgur.com/EBygDCW.jpg what went wrong? why was i not death merchant despite being 150 MMR over his?
