Team Fortress 2

Definitely, I heard that a certain community member is behind most of the development of DOTA 2. But I could be wrong...however if the community did get involved I would still like the TF2 to be a part of it (which would be great is I believe that the team also has a different point of view regarding their own game, as they take the objective team based gameplay more seriously than most of the casual community. However, the community working on the game could guide the Team, and vice versa), either alongside the community members working on it or monitoring the progress of the game.

 

Also, I made a steam group for the people that play Wynncraft, and tf2.

I'll make the first 4 members officers and the next 5 moderators

 

I played too much

You think that's too much? Be glad that you have a life...

(But to be fair, most of that time was spent when I was 11-13 where I called cosmeticless players noobs, and I kept playing deathrun only and the only class I played was heavy because he had a hat I liked, but still...)

 

....

uh

wow....

 

me too thanks

yes
but i still go on there for the off chance that something useful is posted

Casual. Oh boy.

Casual's launch was really botched, so that's why a lot of people really disliked it. Now, it's a glorified quickplay with wait times. I'm not saying that Casual is bad in any way (heck, it's comparable to Quickplay now), but I feel like the teams aren't almost never balanced. I have to go through about five servers just to find one that
a) hasn't already ended
b) isn't a complete steamroll on either side
c) is actually balanced
d) isn't empty af
e) doesn't have a bunch of soldiers/engineers, the only classes that I can properly play

Guess how long it takes me to find a server who meets all of those requirements.
10-20 minutes until I can actually play a god dang game of Team Defense Fort 2, probably 5 if quickplay was still here

and yes I am one of those five people who played the objective



quick edit:


1000 of those hours was me afking on the menu

 

I tried to join but it said it was invite only.

 

I hope you don't mind but I just want to make a few points, and I'm not disproving you or anything I just want to add to the discussion (you said that you weren't saying that casual was bad in any way)


a) you mean one that isn't In progress? If so I really don't like that either, in fact, I wish that games didn't put me into mid-progress as I feel I have to finish someone's dirty work that they were too lazy to finish (or just had something to do all of a sudden). If only there was an option to tick that off or something

b) While to me, this problem isn't as bad as before. It can still be apparent in a few games...if only the system actually worked (I'll get to that in d)...not to mention you can actually get better games at later times of the day...especially night time since that's when the (competent) adults leave their jobs for the day

c)This pretty much applies to b) as well. The main problem is that the system mainly "matches" players not from similar skill, or even rank! But they have this system where it first finds the best player on both teams or "champions", and then the next player is not as good as the first but still considerably skilled (in comparison to everyone else at least) and then so on until it gets to the person who just installed the game 15 minutes and they didn't play the tutorial because

A) It sucks as a tutorial (it doesn't even cover all of the 9 classes)

and

B) It probably doesn't even work anymore.


d) This to me is really the main and only problem that casual has imo (aside from wait times, but even that could apply to this problem as we will see here...). This isn't much of a problem if say 1 or 2 people leave but if like...7 people left, yeaaahhhh...that's when the problem starts to show up. What's even worse, casual wasn't even meant to work like this (and why would it?) as not only did it exist before the MyM update, but potentially since TF2 had systems such as quickplay which was YEARS back.

I would like to say that the "game coordinator" is at fault here, I even remember having some problems with it before casual, if they would take the time to fix it that would be great. Hell, it might even fix multiple problems including balance (maybe) and wait times, though, long wait times could be apparent because of the lower population...at least when comparing it to games such as CSGO.

e) Well, being a game where you can have new players walk off cliffs and medics being horrible at their job (/salt) that is kinda to be expected, the only solution here would to have a class limit and have a separate mode with no limits like OW. But that would not end well...

 

I just checked on the group and it said you joined. Idk if it was fixed or anything but weird, I set it to public.

 

I mean it ends 5 seconds right after I join.

god no

 

I hate that too, a lot of the games I do end up joining, have just ended, and then it goes to map voting and it becomes a game mode that I didn't even queue for.

 

Just checked again, I appear to have joined.
