47 Frags +

We are proud to announce that after three months of work, TF2.gg will be released today in its early beta phase. TF2.gg is a new game system targeted at both new and experienced competitive players that currently features:

- Mumble integration
- Class picking based on 9v9 and 6v6 competitive standards
- Servers with UGC/ESEA configs and maps
- Solid backend consistently maintained
- And a clean TF2-inspired user interface!

Features that we are working on now and will be rolled out in the coming weeks are:
- Ranking system for creating balanced teams
- An easy ban request system which we will act on in a timely manner
- Live stats during each match which are searchable later

If TF2.gg is down when you check it, chances are that it's being updated. We are working constantly to fix bugs and release new features based on yours and top TF2 players' suggestions. For any questions or feedback on the site, feel free to add Pascal or fill out the form from the website.

I'm gonna stream some TF2.gg games, check it out on my stream at twitch.tv/7alfa.

Just made a lobby to test it out, players needed~

EDIT: Lobby seems to crash whenever the lobby-creator attempts to send a message.
EDIT #2: Actually might be when anyone types, testing it more thoroughly now.

Nice find! For now, please refrain from chatting on the lobby page.

I think this has to be the best thing ever. Since pugs are way to serious and lobbies are just for fun. This TF2.gg thing has a mix of both, love it. Gonna test it out later.

alfa: are you going to be extending this to other tf2 communities than NA?

Europe has a big enough tf2 population that it'd probably be nice.

And since I'm Australian, I've got to ask that you see if you can hook the Ozfortress folks up, if only because the irc pug system is kind of terrible.

I just think it would be cool to have ranked Pugs, especially in a system with no barriers to entry. It could help differentiate the system from TF2 Lobby and encourage people to put more effort into the games (rather than off-classing, etc.).

I second this.

Not quite sure what this means...Can you elaborate? Are you using something like a hidden MMR? Could work in theory but if some people don't use the system and pop in every once in a while it could imbalance teams...

probably something like cs:go matchmaking, based on your performance you rank up/down

This seems like a really cool system. Hopefully it becomes used, so you can hop on and play a game even when it's not peak hours.

I think a silent elo system would be the best, with players being able to choose a class but not a team and a system automating the most "balanced" combination available

Or you could just not have a ranking system. Seems to work fine in irc pugs.

As it stands tf2.gg is unfunctional because the lobbies won't start when you click "START"

Things that need to be worked on:
Lobbies don't startup after clicking the start button
Displaying proper # of lobbies
Enable clicking on Avatars to bring up a user's TF2.GG profile or STEAM profile
Implement stats
Implement ELO
When people leave, they do not leave from your screen, you must refresh to see them leave.
Need to be an alert function for players who forgot they added but still want to play

Kicking button is broke

Hmm, interesting. This was fixed last week, not sure why it's no longer working.

I just think it would be cool to have ranked Pugs, especially in a system with no barriers to entry. It could help differentiate the system from TF2 Lobby and encourage people to put more effort into the games (rather than off-classing, etc.).

It would encourage people to play as gay as possible to increase their ELO (look at mge as defy said). What's stopping them from running full-time heavy? That should give you a pretty good overall K:AD and boost your ELO.
