#46 Opinion: 6s needs payload maps. in The Dumpster

I talked about this outside of tftv but A/D could work

The main problem I've heard about A/D from a lot of players is that for red, once a point is taken there's generally little reason to defend it again/retake the area like you might do in CS. Out of any team fps game, CS has the easiest to understand and one of the most well balanced objectives, having an asymmetrical gamemode can eliminate most stalemating as rounds can only last a certain length in which the attacking team has to complete the objective.

I think the best version of an A/D gamemode would be something like mountainlab (although obviously not actually that map lmao) where you have a linear A/D map, but with the change that red can recap the points.

To make this work you'd have to make it so that point captures didn't add cap time (at least not for red recaptures) and make it so the 2nd point caps quicker than the 1st and the 3rd caps quicker than the 2nd like on a 5cp map, giving the attacking team a chance to backcap the defending team, but making it significantly harder for the defending team to backcap the attacking team.

This would basically be like 5cp cut in half and made into A/D, it might eliminate stalemate issues as the attacking team are always under pressure to cap last, but the defending team always have an incentive to push out on an advantage to retake an if they get enough picks on last. The issue with this type of map is that it eliminates midfights compared to 5cp (which are a pretty interesting part of the game) and it's always going to be significantly harder to balance an asymmetrical map compared to a symmetrical one.

Lain's A/D koth gamemode also sounds pretty interesting and I'd like to try it out.

#18 Jitter Issue in Q/A Help

You probably don't want vsync on though. It can give you horrendous input lag.
That indicates that the jitter is a variable framerate issue, possibly something that could be fixed by capping/not capping fps? I don't see how that would be an issue on one account but not another, but it might be a combination of fps capping and a different setting as well.
Try setting a limit for fps_max if you don't have one set, or set it to 0 if you do have one.

#8 We should have this for every league game from now in TF2 General Discussion

Makes a difference on very few maps. Only ones I can think of are viaduct where there's a legitimate reason because the map isn't rotationally symmetrical and so there's spam angles you can peek with rockets on one side not the other (particularly connector).
Other maps have some props that are on one side of the map but not the other that you can hide stickies in (I think snakewater and granary have this?) but they're mostly not that useful traps and pretty fringe cases.
I don't see the point in doing this every game.

#58 TF2 Update 31/05/2016 in TF2 General Discussion
flatlinehow does fixing that take 184 mbs

they're not very subtle here

edit: supposedly due to how many vpks are being updated BUT it is valve

Apparently there was a bug with the heavy hands materials where they could stop payloads because they had weird collision, so they remade the materials, but they did it in a different way to before so they all had the wrong file paths and wouldnt use the right textures.
So instead of fixing that by moving where the materials went they literally copy pasted all the textures again.
Good old valve.

This is going to be the closest season of prem in years with mike coming back on pocket for perilous and upsets able to happen like this. There are so many teams that could take maps off each other.

#8 Looking for a new mouse in Hardware

The G400/G400s have the same shape as the MX518 but are discontinued. You can sometimes pick them up cheap on ebay

The G402 is the newer version of that line of mouse but has an altered shape (from what I've heard still feels more similar than it looks to MX518 mouse)

The Gigabyte XM300 is pretty much the exact same mouse as a deathadder but for less money.

The Zowie EC1A as mentioned previously has a deathadder like shape and ergonomics that lots of people find good, but there are also a lot of cheaper mice with similarly deathaddery shapes that you can get a bit cheaper.

Having brand loyalty to more major mouse manufacturers doesn't make a huge amount of sense as most mouse companies don't make their own shells and pick them out of a catalogue from an ODM. Off brand companies can use the exact same shell and sometimes make a better mouse with them. An example would be the DreamMachines DM1 which has almost the exact same shell as a Steelseries Sensei, but with a better sensor.
