#8 making tf2 less stimulating in Off Topic

incoming shill post

based off of your posts here, i think you and your friends should try out 4v4 PASS Time
it's a competitive gamemode that highlights skill-based movement and team coordination, but isn't as intense as 6s/HL. the environment is more relaxed and comms are less frequent since maps are extremely small and the gamemode has a built in "wallhack" at the bottom showing you where players generally are. there's pressure, but it's a lot more manageable compared to other competitive environments i've been in
personally, as a medic main, i struggled with enjoying 6s pugs due to playing at a lower level (Intermediate) as well as just being in the Medic role, which i enjoyed the most at the time. 4v4 PASS Time allowed me to express my skill in a more relaxed (but still competitive) environment in a different way

https://youtu.be/t01sfcj1qPw?t=11

i'd say for you it's at least worth a shot. we play pugs nearly every night in the discord, or if you have 7 friends who are down to try it out, just go on serveme and use the config "pt_pug" and play on maps like "pass_arena2", "pass_stadium", "pass_stonework", or "pass_smallosseum"

no hate to any 6s/HL modes, they're both awesome and a lot of fun

#2 puggin in TF2 General Discussion

Yes; it all takes place on Discord servers nowadays (from what I've seen mostly anyway).
Here's a list of pug servers and invites:
https://www.teamfortress.tv/63226/the-definitive-list-of-tf2-pug-servers

Regarding 6s:
If you're getting back into the game, a good spot to play is probably TF2CC as they run pugs multiple times daily for every skill group up to IM/Main. If you're beyond that, probably PugHub is a good spot.

Regarding HL:
RGL's official server runs pugs. There's also the RGL pugs website, which seems to be decently active.
There's also "Pugs that are Cozy and Comfy" which runs all the time.
Other than that, I'm not too knowledgeable since I don't really play HL.

Regarding 6s or HL:
https://tf2pugs.com/ is also a good option, but those don't have any league-based verification so you could be playing with a bunch of total shitters.

Hope that helps.

#12 [PSA] RGL Store refuses to remove low quality item in TF2 General Discussion
crackbabydumpsterbut the whole "ensure a consumer is satisfied at all costs" approach most corporation have isnt reasonable to expect from rgl.

I'm not asking them to rewind time to make sure I get a quality sticker. I'm cool if the stickers are fucked up and I have to return it; sometimes bad shit happens. I only gave details on the product quality so readers could understand why I think they should unlist the stickers. From what Mothership said in the thread, it seems like they've sampled their stickers before, but for some reason this run took an unexpected nosedive in quality, which I don't think is their fault.
To reiterate, my issue is that the item should not be purchasable while they figure out what's wrong. I don't think that's too much to ask. From a basic internet search, it seems like changing the visibility of the listing is quite easy.

brodyczarchasmYou mean the RGL Marketing Director.be real here man

It's in their bio...? You said "some random Discord moderator" when it's the person in charge of the whole Marketing side of things. I can't be any more real than reality.

brodywhat do you want?

I don't understand how I'm not clear in my original post.

czarchasmI'm not making this tf.tv post because I'm unhappy though; I'm making it to alert other potential customers of the experience I've had, especially because you won't take this item off your storefront despite directly saying the item is low quality.

I just want them to remove it temporarily, so no one orders it thinking they'll get a usable product, and then has to go through the hassle of a refund process for no reason when RGL is already unsatisfied with it.

brodygo volunteer at rgl

No, I think I'm good. I don't think having an issue with the way something is done requires you to immediately jump and go join a community league to fix it.

I can't stop rereading my post trying to figure out where I've been misunderstood. I just want them to take it off the storefront. All of the rest of the post is just to provide context and backstory to better support my argument.

EDIT: Maybe the ending bit of my OP? Yeah, I'm unhappy with my experience, but it wasn't enough to make me never want to purchase from them again, and it wasn't enough to make me make this tf.tv post. Like I said, I made the tf.tv post to alert other potential customers of the risks of ordering. Maybe my wording's not great there.

#5 [PSA] RGL Store refuses to remove low quality item in TF2 General Discussion
brodyu handed a hot potato issue to a discord mod

You mean the RGL Marketing Director.

https://i.imgur.com/rOC4PB4.png

brodythat requires the business admins finding a solution + communicating with a third party vendor

That'd be different if I was promised that the item would be removed from the store. Instead, it is a vague "we'll figure out the issues" reply along with telling your customers they have to deal with the return if they don't like it (in direct response to someone asking "are you sure you don't want to remove this?" The marketing director themself said the product was low quality. Who would like it?

EDIT: To be clear, the proper response (imo) for this is:

  1. Notify customer that you agree product is unsatisfactory and you are making strides to remove it from the store ASAP
  2. Resolve issue with manufacturer
  3. Obtain product as sample
  4. Assure quality via inspection and use
  5. Put the product out for consumers to purchase
brodythey all do their best to make low quality products and bottleneck returns

Fireside produces fantastic merchandise at low costs, and I don't think siyo is making these clothes/stickers/patches himself.

I don't think you actually read my post.

EDIT2: I also gave them 5 days after my recommendation to remove the product from the store. Hot potato issue? The potato is fucking freezing dude LMAO
