Prioritizing people based on their economic status.... this is very american I like this.

Giving a speech at my brother's wedding

but seriously why are blues and ex far and beyond the sexiest scout combo in tf2???

tbh sunshine is probably gonna be awful. Lot of new people to the map and it's making it rough for coordination. Just don't expect much out of our two hardest matches on our worst map so far :P

I'm proud of our teams success so far this season. We've got a really diverse group experience-wise and its been fun so far. Our matches against Yompies and Yugioh this week will be a challenge but I hope we can at least make them close.

btw who is garbagejuice

It is broken right now I agree. I just think that people will be irritated by no aim punch no matter what. Maybe looking at a mechanic that relies on being charged to a certain percentage in order for that to activate? So at, say 25% charge, you no longer take aim punch?

Cozy camper has gone through like 5 different mechanics changes and this is the first one that is actually useable. I can understand thinking it's too good as it is right now, but the solution is not to remove the view steady. That mechanic is the only thing that makes it different than any other secondary. You can remove the health benefit but that doesn't fix what you see as the problem so there isn't any point.

why do people get excited about every little maybe hint that match making might get possibly released.

Valve isn't stupid. They're gonna build hype. Also, they haven't even done the public beta that everyone is expecting. We will all know about matchmaking's official release at least a week before we have to pay $5 for it.

So what you're saying is a free burrito is a free burrito and you're risking it, right?

(First all credit for seeing this goes to Joshuawn)

alright fatswim and I might have had beef in the past but this is still the weakest shit I've ever seen.

Dude, stop posting, you clearly need to sort some other things in your life out before you're ready for a video games forum.

shut up

no you got banned cause you picked a team and then didn't show up.

doesn't help that you complained about never getting picked hours before.

When Joshuawn released his Weapon Specific Crosshairs I was also working through those ctx files to see if anything else could be changed (I was working on weapon specific crosshairs for a while and Josh did it in 5 minutes I'm not salty). So basically within these same files there is a section that looks like this:

		"weapon"
		{
				"file"		"sprites/bucket_rl"
				"x"		"0"
				"y"		"0"
				"width"		"200"
				"height"		"128"
		}
		"weapon_s"
		{	
				"file"		"sprites/bucket_rl"
				"x"		"0"
				"y"		"0"
				"width"		"200"
				"height"		"128"
		}

Through the same method used for weapon specific crosshairs you can change the sprite used with the "Slow Weapon Switch." Now, Flame you're the HUD expert so you'd know better than I would how easy the backgrounds and text are to edit. But by changing these files you could very easily change what image is used within those backgrounds. Do with this information what you will, but it opens yet another possibility with these files (and another reason for Valve to block these files within pure, please don't let them know!)

I'm willing to try more, just let me know. Would a VPN allow me to run pingplotter (or WinMTR)? My only fear with any VPN usage for testing is the inevitable "You clearly aren't having any issues as we discussed earlier, but the VPN you are using is now causing your lag and instability"

edit: any traceroutes I run have to be run through their website.

Thanks for the info Shun,

As far as them throttling, I agree. I think if they analyzed network usage they'd find that most users are just streaming very high quality Netflix, ruining the connection for the rest of us. During peak hours I can't even watch a 30fps 720p twitch stream without constant buffering.

Testing on our network is very limited. Due to security they've disabled all ping/traceroute related testing within the cmd prompt. I can run a trace route provided by their website, but the chances of that thing lying are very high. I'll be running them over various points this weekend, as well as testing pings in different games during my lag times.
