drrockso20 posted:Which makes it even worse for Randomizer than it does for standard play(KOTH and CTF work best in my opinion with Randomizer) Arena solves all these problems. Besting others with similarly gimped randomizer loadouts does not increase the frequency with which you must face stock heavies and such. You get what you get, they get what they get. And when you manage to kill a backburner scout using an overdose it actually means something.

Sanctum posted:Nah. Randomizer with respawn is like being punished for doing well, you kill 15 dudes with a pomsom and you can count on at least some of them coming back as something broken like medic w/ stickies. It gets annoying really quickly. Eventually you will spawn with the jackpot loadout. Respawning just means people that die more get to keep re-rolling until they win the loadout lottery yet again. Conversely, the reward for doing well with a crappy loadout is: you continue playing the crappy loadout. Yeah that can be a problem but it's better than dying in the first 30 seconds and then having to wait potentially up to 5 minutes before getting to play again(that's happened to me way too often playing Randomizer, although the average is about 2-3 minutes which is still completely unacceptable) which completely ruins the game's momentum no matter what angle you're looking at

Laputanmachine posted:Best map. The guy that made moonshine isn't happy with it.. he really hates the lighting. The map does play pretty well though. Also he had a kid and is working a million hours a week so you know there's that. He also was one of the brains behind cp_stoneyridge, which is an okay map.

KOTH is pretty much ideal for randomizer, assuming the server has proper respawn times. There's a certain amount of built-in balance to respawn rolls: a team that dies a lot has more chances to roll up an overpowered loadout, but the more a team dies the worse their position is and the harder it will be to come back even with really good weapons. In longer matches things still inevitably get hosed up since players can sandbag good loadouts and wait until things line up so that their team has a roster full of unstoppable killmachines, but KOTH matches really just aren't long enough for one team to accumulate unbalanced levels of bullshit.

I think the best feature of the workshop is we're now downloading the maps from Valve's servers (which if I remember right are backed by akamai so it's pretty goddamn fast) instead of some server admin's crappy web server that chokes and dies when more than two people are trying to fetch a bsp.

I think it's time someone asked the important question: When is Valve going to add an option to disable item drops? At some point it's just a nuisance.

Just turn them into metal and then into keys or whatever. Hell trade the metal for trading cards and put it all on the market place. It literally becomes free money

The Kritzkast folks are doing another run of Meet Your Makers interviews with community folkses. The last day (tomorrow) includes a Q&A with Valve, which should be interesting as apparently they sprang a couple of surprises like the Map Workshop, but in the meantime you can read about how some folks have had their lives changed for the better by making videogame hats (and maps and movies, but who cares about those?)

TheKingofSprings posted:Canada, thank you Oh in that case then go tell the moose to hold your antennae higher. Haha but all seriousness, there's not a lot you can do other than improve your actual connection. If you are still getting bad ping while connected directly to your router even when connecting to your closest servers, then there's not much you can do. There should be some config changes in the op that can potentially improve your connection a bit, though that won't improve your ping. And make sure that you are looking at all the potential servers rather than just a selection of them. If you're using wifi then look into getting a hardline connection, or at least a powerline adapter. Otherwise, trying switching internet providers. There should be plenty of servers available with good ping from anywhere in lower Canada. Kaal fucked around with this message at 06:46 on Jun 6, 2015 |

I really wish that if some unwashed pleb is going to be rude enough to interrupt my freeze-cam taunt by killing me that they would at least have the common goddamn courtesy to taunt in my freeze cam. The nerve of some people.

Last night's game between [R]eason and TLR, two of the top Euro 6s teams, was an absolute blast and the VOD is definitely worth a watch, first map especially. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Vexsq1FXKo&hd=1 Map 1 starts at 12:06 and map 2 starts at 1:07:09.
