duz posted:So I have to use quickplay now to get onto valve servers? Lame. Well this is just loving BULLSHIT  Literally every time I tried using the quickplay button, I got sent to an empty server/server with <6 people on it/foreign server where I have 200+ ping. After 20 minutes of searching and disconnecting and searching again, I haven't been able to get onto a playable VALVe server. And clicking "show servers" just comes up with a bunch of foreign servers for some reason. Where'd all the Australian ones go?  THANKS VALVe!

I'm still downloading the update, but it can't mean what I think it means? I go to valve servers by clicking servers and adding the tag for valve servers, and refining the search any other way I want, latency or whatever. And that doesn't work now? And this is intentional? Edit: Didn't I hear tf2 is maintained by six dudes in the CS:GO office area of valve? These guys, I'm just gonna go play something else and check back later to see if these guys can get their poo poo together. I mean gently caress, is this a move towards preparing us for whatever method they'll use to host competitive matches? Do they feel that the admittedly old fashioned server menu is a relic? How about replacing it with something that works?? Jack B Nimble fucked around with this message at 04:30 on Jul 4, 2015 |

Maybe the change was to prevent friends from gathering on a server and trading contract completions? They take the integrity of their reskins very seriously!

I got Heavy for my first contract tonight and I was stunned to find myself keep playing Heavy after I had finished. Maybe it's because they reduced bullet spread by default but I found I was able to drill people much more often than before. I realized the joy of coming around a corner to find an Engineer nest half-built with four people around the dispenser and turning them all into hamburger, good times. One good/bad thing about the contracts is that to get your bonus objectives, they force you to do the Advanced tasks and not just shoot people. Mine tonight was destroying buildings and for some goddamn reason tonight on 2fort there wasn't an Engineer in sight for close to half an hour. I was just slumming in the enemy base for most of that time, stunned that nobody seemed to care about the fat guy and his clown cannon.

The ability to to now pick up another Medics uber via medigun seems kind of like a big deal. Not only will killing a medic with an uber be a big deal but your team can now basically steal ubers from the enemy team. Pop your uber, kill an enemy medic with around 90% uber, scope that gun after yours end, and you're basically pushing in the enemies team poo poo with a free second uber before they can even build a new one to 20% Soldiers can now not only force pull ammo to people but uber charges as well!

If the other team runs quick fix can they beat you to your kritz uber? Also I hope these reskins eventually lead to some more alternate weapon models, I know it's lovely to make it hard to tell what weapon your opponent has but on the hand the winger is very ugly.

I'm having trouble finding someone else with this problem and how to fix it, since it's kind of vague, but while navigating menus the game is just randomly crashing. Error message pops up without any hanging or anything. Has happened so far upon receiving items from a trade, on decoding one of the challenge things, on opening my inventory, etc. It's not consistent at all. Reinstalled the game entirely and it didn't seem to fix it so I'm not sure what else could.

The ability to pick up charged medi guns is going to be pretty neat I think. Seeing more kritz medics in competitive play should be fun. The major downside I can see for competitive play is medics suiciding more often to avoiding dropping an almost full uber into enemy hands. A medic at 75% uber who gets caught by a scout or hit hard by a soldier is going to have to make a serious decision on if they should just suicide to avoid handing the enemy an uber. Maybe a mechanic that lets other players drain a dropped uber would help, so that your teammates could empty your medi gun after a soldier suicides on you at 90% charge with no one else on his team around.

1. Couldn't the medic just switch to a different weapon to drop that instead? 2. That's not speculation - you definitely can chain uber by picking up mediguns? I thought various charge meters were now tied to you, rather than your weapon? 3. What the poo poo is up with the "no valve servers on the server list" thing? That's has to be something they will revert, right?

The Kins posted:It's a different glitch. Apparently you can get Killstreak Kits that aren't tied to a specific weapon and thus can be applied to pretty much any non-stock item, including hats and medals. I just finished up a tour in two cities and got a 'specialized killstreak kit', where there's usually a weapon name between killstreak and kit. They're selling for like, 40 dollars on the market at the moment, but I can't seem to craft it because it keeps saying crafting failed, I'm assuming they already patched it, gently caress.

If this doesn't work can I ask Valve for a kit that I can at least apply to a weapon?

They seriously loving removed Valve servers from the in-game server browser? Why the gently caress would they do this? I live in Japan, and Valve servers in Singapore are basically the only option I have to play. And now I can't loving use them except through retarded quickplay. Wow, seriously, gently caress you Valve. EDIT: Is there someone I can email about this? I don't care about any of the other stuff they've done to change the game, but this is terrible.

Team Shine Max time Probably not, they obviously patched it out to keep people from getting it, so I doubt they would really take pity on you very much. A few posts up I have the same problem, so I basically spent 4 dollars on nothing in return, oh well. On the other hand, valve is absolutely horrible with dealing with emails, it took them 2 weeks to even get back to me over a problem with a phisher/scammer I was having at the time.

Same, but they removed all the valves even from history, the choice to do it really is strange and seems unwanted. The only thing I can chalk it up to is possibly something to do with the apparent competitive beta thing they are working on.

I almost exclusively play Doomsday now, and before the patch melee demoman absolutely cleaned house there. The tide turner, booties, and persian persuader were really powerful together. Now the tide turner doesn't stop due to fall damage, and only takes 1/3 the slowing from damage, the booties give an extra 10% movement speed, and any melee kill will refill the charge, not just a charging kill. This makes the katana incredibly good, since if you don't kill someone on the first shot you can just random crit them, full heal, and instantly charge off to kill the next person. I was using the persuader before because the shield recharge was so unreliable, but now all you really have to deal with is TF2's awful melee hit detection.

So now the only people on valve servers will be the ones who went through quickplay (way less). That is really frustrating. I rely on valve servers to play the cp maps I enjoy like gully/badlands/granary/process etc. It's going to be way harder to find a game on these maps now.

Quickplay results are dismal now too for whatever reason. 2/24 players etc. Also had a bug in which hl2.exe crashed on start. I had a completed pyro mission that I had to turn in without finishing the extra objectives in order to "fix" it.

Yeah, they really should have fixed quickplay before forcing people to use it, I'm a dumb idiot baby who uses quickplay all the time and nine times out of ten, when I go "okay I don't care what game mode, gimme Valve servers or community I don't give a gently caress, just throw me in a game" it'll say "No servers matched your criteria lmao" after a couple minutes and I'll have to try again, then I try again and get thrown into a 24/7 2fort server. What the hell Valve.
