Cool, I appear to have lost the ability to play matchmaking! So long as I'm in a lobby with people, the game just searches forever without finding anything- but as soon as I leave people the lobby a game pops up for everyone else soon after, and I'm also unable to find one while soloing on both my accounts. DM/casual and community servers work fine and pop up immediately, but I've currently been searching for a game for 15+ minutes

I actually just played on an arena server that displayed everyone's ranks.

Really? Then maybe there's a way to do it. It would be really cool to pick teams in subio based on MM rank and not GP score.

Wow, that appears to have been it- thanks! I've been fretting over this for the last hour, I should have just whined to the forum immediately. I had it on 50, changed it to 100 and then back to 50 and now it works.

Maybe it had somehow magically gone below 50? :iiam:

That's equally unhelpful. There are people with inflated and deflated ranks too.

What do we need to get a eurogoon server up and running?

Well, I apparently need to sit down and learn how scripting works in cs:go, setting one up seems to be more complicated than I thought. I have the server itself online but there's no running plugins because I am a total babby at all kinds of scripting and coding that's not basic html

Ok, if its 30 or so to get a top-notch server I'll pay for the first month. If its getting good use a couple of others are bound to chip in from then on. Can someone volunteer to set it up? I really don't know what I'm doing.

Forgot about smurfs, but people do that now so its not like using MM rank would make things any worse.

GP Skill works ok, it's just not ideal since it rewards people who play a ton.

I just like having even teams in goonpugs.

May 10, 2010

If that's your goal then as you play with people take note of their abilities so when you're captain you know who to pick? I think I generally manage even teams because it's pretty easy even ignoring these skill indicators. Naked eye test is always the king.

GP worked fine imo, the top people were usually in the captains vote as long as they weren't smurfing. It just got reset recently so it's all screwed up atm.

It's nice to have so you don't have uneven captains right off the start. There are still cases of this happening but it's usually not bad.

I've set a server 5v5 retakes up server up on Amazon AWS before so a. I know how to do it, b. its free if you use their poo poo tier and c. Its probably way cheaper than renting one if poo poo tier doesnt give the performance we desire.
I can install other peoples premade plugins and sourcemod and poo poo but I don't know enough about scripting to write my own

Firstly, no "if", you are doing it on Linux. No reason to do anything else

price/performance is way way way out of whack

AWS solves a lot of problems, and is an awesome service. But not for hosting video game servers (unless you're hosting hundreds-thousands of them and need the ability to scale from 10 to 1000 servers on demand, ie what AWS is good at)

$0 for a server was quite attractive to be honest. a 5v5 retakes server works fine on free tier.
I didn't test a 14 slot server with gotv, saved replays, gpskill, hlstat and goonpug and all of that stuff but on a server that might see 3 games a night I can't really see the resource/credit cost being very high
