How many times do I have to tell you this? I have nothing against you but if you do not play actively on our servers, you will be demoted. You don't believe me? -> When people press view game info of you, it doesn't show you in the list of people playing, meaning you didn't join a team at all and just idling at the motd screen. Here are some examples! I do not see how I am targetting you or anything, you are the one targetting me. Why am I bias when Rejects, Scoot and Kbraszzz also have a say in this? bi·as prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair. How do I have any kind of prejudice against you? Just because you were demoted for idling on the servers, which even glitches the calladmin bot, does not mean I am the bad guy here. It's your god damn fault for not actually playing the game. I really don't care about your characteristics, you can be a furry, you can be a brony, you can be gay, you can be transgender, bi or pansexual. I don't fucking care, if you're nice to me I'm nice to you, that's the deal, if you do good job as staff member, we'll keep your or you get promoted, if you are doing a bad job, you get demoted, simple as that. You are saying that you don't want drama, yet you shittalk people on the servers. So what did we learn today? Realize your own mistakes, you always act like you've done absolutely nothing wrong while that is simply not the case. >inb4 typos, it's 5 AM here. For some reason I feel like Keemstar right now.

Sorry but this is actually laughable. While it's something he shouldn't really do since it can confuse people easily, its hardly enough to make a member protest about it.. If you had a problem with it actually talk to him about it considering its something this small and ridiculous.

what happened to this thread lol overwatch is a great game though, feels very refreshing when compared to the majority of new titles lately. no pay to win, doesn't rely on gimmicks, good presentation, solid balance at a pro level as well as the nooby level. hopefully blizzard doesnt ruin it :~) unfortunately I can't see tf2 hold a competitive scene whatsoever with the existence of overwatch, as overwatch is expected to have more attention from the devs, a larger playerbase, bigger prize pools, as well as simply more interesting gameplay (sorry tf2 players) until blizzard allows the community to make mods or host servers though (lets be honest this wont happen) I can't see overwatch taking over tf2s niche - community servers. xG will be fine, tf2 will be fine, just those 500 comp players and valves new matchmaking probably won't be.

Member's Name: Matsi Member's Steam ID: Don't know how to look that up Information: Lol, I really don't feel like writing a paragraph so I'll make it quick: Rules broken: Trolling and being proud of it, also being a fake admin: "Do you like my fake admin?" Constantly typing with his troll chat-colors. Don't know if it's worth mentioning but take a look at this. Consider that he was typing that in all chat.

Personally I don't really see an issue with it, but PvtSoldier did. He did the right thing to post this onto the forums. Focus on the point of the thread rather than where the user posted it. What Matsi did doesn't really warrant any form of severe punishment. A simple "don't do it again" is all that I see is needed, but as DL and CL's should chime in and give their input. Also Matsi, you should refrain from saying stuff about people on the server. If you have an issue with someone, then you should take it up with them personally. Doing things like this just adds fuel to the fire and starts to cause drama. Which is the thing you're trying to avoid. Just think before you act.

guys go easy on him. it looks like he's new to the website and maybe even servers so he doesn't know exactly what the up and up is. He saw something he thought was bad and reported it no need to jump down his throat.

@Scootaloo @kbraszzz @Hidingmaster @Nomulous @Rhododendron CLs should make a decision on this one. However, @Matsi I do not see why you say stuff like that. Rejects has talked to you about your demotion as well as I did. Do I have to explain it to you a third time? Shittalking me in all chat does not make it better. (n) I can see what OP means by trolling/impersonating admins, but ugh.

can we remove this day? its shit. its just a war day thats boring for t's

Surprised no one has mentioned this, but get Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, and if you dont wanna spend so much time on it and wanna wait for Monster Hunter: Generations, buy it anyway, get free shite in Generations.

that wouldn't make the day any better its basically find a hall way run back and forth spraying into said hallway and u'll probly kill a ct. its just boring and only shitty cts do it for kills or to punish the rebel heavy t's

How to make a Member Protest READ THIS!!! Member Protest Format/Rules. yo you should read these before make threads that make zero sense, k thx bai

How one year can change a cat.

Most of your arguments are "If valve can do it, why can't everyone do it??" It's because they have different people with different inspirations with different ideas in a genre they have little experience in and they did well with what they did all things considering. It's not fair to compare a 9 year old game with a game that's not even released. Plus if they did it just like valve did then people would be complaining that they aren't doing more on their own. how can people create maps for a game that hasn't even been released yet? How can you possibly fault a game like this when tf2 didn't have anything similar until 2 years after it's starting life? The only similarity between the two is how their primaries are used but even then pose two completely opposite mechanics. Plus, Mei has way more use when it comes to her ice wall But demoknight was a community created class that valve thought was funny and made a map or two to cater to it. It's not like anybody truly used it in comp or if they did they still had grenade launcher and such. Okay? Bullshit, there are so many classes in the game it's hard to recognize and prepare for classes that you will face, also rocket jumping is virtually non existance and she has a smaller blast radius. If you're talking about her alt, you can't falt a character that has a different mechanic. Most of the maps are fine, the only problem i have with them is that some of the characters feel so big that it feels awkard going through doors but even then the smaller maps make it feel very scary because as D.VA specifically, it's fine using her rocket boost going through multiple doors and behind enemy lines to fuck their shit up. Then why is your whole entire post comparing overwatch to tf2 then proceeding to state how every character plays similar??? I mean honestly, Shadower's post couldn't be anymore correct.

I M P E A C H O B A M A

I've seen people rtv horzion bc it sucks. and it does. Sometimes a cigar is a cigar.

You could maybe like when the day starts, it teleports all Ts to CT spawn. Or REMOVE THE POV IT STINKS AND MAKES IT A HORRIBLE DAY SO PLEASE REMOVE IT OK? Also just like add the AFK thing from Last CT to the predator day. That would help as well. Or just make players move forward automatically and they can't stop :3

Well, overall Overwatch could be really good, but I have a few gripes with it. (see below) WARNING: OPINIONS AHEAD, DON'T GET ALL TRIGGERED OVER IT 1) Maps, They are chokey as hell and can be very easy to lock down with certain heros/combos that make the game incredibly slow and boring to play while you try to break the stalemate. Most of the KOTH maps are manageable however, though they have their moments of chokepoint hold contest. (example of maps that people don't like because they are full of chokepoints; Dustbowl, Goldrush, Hoodoo, Hydro) Also, they have taken much from TF2 in terms of balance (eg. Mercy-Medic similarities) so why can't the learn map design as well? 2) Team Colors, The lack of team colors can be a bit hard to get used too, especially with all of the visual clutter that goes on particularly in team fights where the chaos and flashy effects can make it difficult to quickly assess who is on what team. Other games can get away with this more because they don't have the same sort of chaos on the player's screen. (Seen in games like, Guns of Icarus, Chivalry Medieval Warfare, Star Wars battlefront [any of them], Unreal Tournament, Fistful of Frags [to an extent], and many more) 3) Visuals, Overall this game, while pretty, does suffer from a large amount of eye-grabbing, flashy, and visually obstructive effects (though it has been lessened since the earlier stages) that can make it hard to identify a lot of things. (a couple of games that clutter your screen for no good reason; CoD, Battlefield, or Kiling Floor 2 at times [Think about those chaotic fights with lots of body parts exploding...]) 4) Character silhouettes, Basically, a distinct outline each class/hero has that makes them easy to identify. IMO the biggest offenders here are McCree, Soldier 76, and Reaper as they all have similar body types, and the skins can help blur those lines some as well. Some others are easier to tell like Roadhog or Zenyatta (spelling :confused:) so it is more of a cse by case business, but can be vital info in some cases. (Games with Good Character Silhouettes; Chivalry medieval warfare, star wars battlefront I&II, Battleborn to an extent, Star Wars The Force Unleashed [repetative gameplay but they made sure you knew what you were fighting], both Killing Floors, Guns of Icarus [original,online,new co-op], and ace of spades to name a few) 5) Excessive stuns/slows/movement control, It may work in other types of games, but movement control is outright annoying in the FPS genre. Not to mention the classes that have the most prominent movement impairment have some serious hard hitting attacks/abilities. cough cough Mei/Roadhog/Junkrat/McCree Cough Cough (most fps games don't have it) 6) legal Aimbots/wallhacks, I get that Ultimate abilities are supposed to fit with the theme of the character and all, but aimbots/wallhacks are both unfun/unfair to fight and generally annoying. Plus hackers are that much harder to find out. (Call of Duty and DOOM are the only games I know of with full on wallhacks, even then it is for one player against one player) 7) No vote kick system, self explanatory, you are stuck with that hacker/afk/troll... 8) lack of community content, as a mapmaker I find this one kinda depressing, you won't find amazing community maps like many of the maps Valve has added. (Note: for the future, I have not heard about any mapmaker software included in the release) (Extra Note: Many games have mapmakers, DOOM and Ace of Spades have them built into the game menus. Others such as any source game, Chivalry MW, both original SW Battlefronts, both Killing Floors, Quake, any UT game, and many more allow custom creation of maps) 9) No community servers, from what I have gathered there won't be a server browser, forcing everyone to lay the game exactly how it was designed, so no casual competitive (competitive configs, but playing for fun. Think TF2Center type things) or fun type things unless Blizzard decides to make it an official gamemode. (some examples include, UT, Quake, any source game (minus portal and maybe L4D), SWBF I&II, SW Republic Commando, KF 1&2, Chivalry MW, older CoDs, Minecraft, and ARK survival to name a few) 10) Customization, I hear people praise this game for it's customization options like sprays and skins when you have far more in depth systems available. Not that it is bad, but it could be better. (Games like Loadout, DOOM, Minecraft, and KF have commendable customization to varying levels) 11) 20 tick rate, Should be a thread with infos on reddit, but I heard there was a tickrate of 20 on official OW servers. For reference Valve games run on 64 tick servers by default. (Literally the only near mainstream game that have 20 tick servers is CoD, and they have lots of lag complaints...) 12) Hard counter all over, It isn't fun to be destroyed as a spy just because someone went pyro, odds are they are 10x worse than you, but they killed you just because they chose your hard counter as a class. Same applied in Overwatch, some characters just destroy others without much one could do about it. Soft counters is a much more enjoyable style where while one class may have an advantage in a fight (eg scout v demo) you could still outplay that soft counter because you were better than them at the game (demo lands pipebombs on the scout). (or chivalry, where the archers counter things like the MAA because they can one shot him easily, but get walked on by knights because of the shields. It works there because a properly skilled player can evade pretty much any counter, but it is certainly a counter system) 13) Pointless progression system, It really is just kind of an arbitrary number there to feed your hubris. One could achieve a high rank just by sheer amount of games played as opposed to skill. If there is a point to it, please point it out because I can't find one. (given, it is like CS:GO in that you need a certain amount of levels to get into the competitive que. Not a huge fan, but at least it has a point) 14) $40 price tag minimum, Fairly self explanatory, not everyone has money and some people don't think this game is worth $40+ at the moment. 15) Lack of skill based movement, Besides something like Junkrat's conc mine there really isn't all that much skill based movement (eg. explosive jumps/bhops/damage surf/rampslides/ect.). Instead the movement is very 'press x button and get launched into the sky' or 'press y button and move to z player'. While this may not be extremely vital, it does detract a lot from vertical play and skill ceilings by limiting them to simple options or none at all. (many games since DOOM [the original] have had skill based movement, seen in modern day source games and games like UT/Quake) All of that said, There are a few things this game got right. 1) The maps are very pretty, it is a visually stunning game and is fairly well optimized. 2) It can be fun at times and better players will do better 3) they encourage good team composition 4) Accessible at any level of play 5) Has built in competitive from launch 6) Plenty of variety 7) NO RANDUMB CRITS <--- big one 8) Fix a lot of balance issues that certain games suffer from (TF2 and useless classes) Extra thoughts... Not for any purpose but some observations made whilst playing. They made the Pyro(Mei) even more infuriating to fight by strapping the Natascha and Sandman's lovechild to the flamethrower and made it really cold. Demoknight (Reinhart) was made into a useful thing that actually meaningfully contributes to the team outside of fighting potatoes. They made the demoman white... Also, rip stickies. Soldier(pharah) now takes even less skill than before. Mercy's pistol is actually worse at self defense than the syringe guns, at least assuming you don't have aimbot tier accuracy, but with some of these characters... Zarya plays much like heavy, she has lots of hp, the ability to block damage and to block damage for allies (block vs heal, sandvich), a primary that is only effective in close range(minigun), and a useless melee attack(heavy melee in general. If Blizzard ripped so much out of TF2, then why couldn't they make better maps (less reliant on gimmicks like choke points) or at the least, bring in people who know map design/balance? By no means do I think it is bad, just flawed. Like certain other games I play...Cough TF2 Cough Oh and before I forget, this game plays nothing like TF2. It's like comparing CoD to Battlefield, similar but very different at a base level. My 2 cents for now, I probably missed some stuff, but meh. EDIT: Grammar n' stuff

Hello everyone! Being an admin has been fun! I am stepping down to member, in case you are asking why: My router kind of broke yesterday and I'm not able to connect to CS:GO servers or tf2 servers, and even if im on one of our servers, i constantly lag. That's not the only reason though, the other one is that you guys do not seem to be pleased by my inactivty and i constantly get to read that I shouldn't be admin anymore. Now I hope you guys are happy; @Bach @Rias_Gremory @Egossi @kbraszzz If i get to fix my router I might hop on the tf2 servers sometimes.. And CS:GO servers! @Duke keep in mind, i am still a member.

No. Another fudge post that has 0 affect on the csgo division and that should not be on the forums

bump

>>> RIP.... =/ Like I mentioned before, I was asked why I stepped down, so I told him.
