Is /v/ still interested in Team Fortress 2?
I am gonna try to start a little community by renting US and EU-based servers.
What would you personally be most interested in when it comes to TF2 servers?
>>342124835
if you actually want to play the game, and not just socialize with friends then no crits are absolutely necessary
>>342125079
I was already planning on making it no-crits. What else would /v/ be interested in when looking for a server to play?
>>342125201
rankings/customable shit attract shitters
keep it as basic as possible
>>342125201
I would really be interested in playing stock weapons only. I don't really care about hats and reskins, but a close-to-vanilla server when it came to the gameplay would be neat.
>>342124835
Lots of ponies!
>>342125636
How about no
>>342125581
This is a pretty good idea. Though would it be the best idea for the first server?
>>342125834
>>342125581
I'd still allow some unclocks like kritzkrieg, gunboats, sandvich and razorback.
But definitely not stuff like minisentries phlogs, parachutes and shit.
>>342125834
Nah, for your first I'd say just take the maps and small tweaks (like no-crit) that you like and try to build regulars. Its not garanteed but if your server isn't filled autism and gimmick maps it should do fine.
I LOVE GORGE A LOT
What game modes are we looking at? Also what maps?
>>342126187
Will the Half Zatoichi or whatever be allowed?
If not, it's not a big deal, I've been trying to get good at Stock Demo anyway.I just really love using the Iron Bomber though, the sound effect is so goddamn satisfying.
Kek, didn't we already try this? Last I heard of the /v/ TF2 server it devolved into drama, nerds crying, and the server admin begging for $74 dollars a month from the community.
No random crits/no spread
>>342126897
That's basically what I'm asking. I want to know what people are most interested in.
Personally, I thought a Valve rotation (all gamemodes) with map votes + nocrit would be a good option. But I like the idea of a 100% stock weapons.
>>342127257
It's not going to be a /v/-only server
>>342128062
capture points, attack/defend, payload and koth
no random critsfuck micspam
>>342127257
admin allowed micspammers to run rampant, with everyone spouting ebin memes when most anons wanted to converse with eachother
admin was also a massive tryhard whom constantly picked floorshooter, which put off a lot of people
it was a nice experience while it lasted but those two reasons along with a few other factors is the reason why it crumbled so quickly
Maybe a radio mod for the server?
>>342128736
Luckily Im neither a tryhard, memespouter or micspammer, but him picking Soldier put off a lot of people?
server without token weeaboo pink hat spy and f2p shitter sniper, no fucking colored hats faggotry, no furries, no ponies, no cringe memelords
>>342128873
To be honest, you can turn off hats / cosmetics for the entire game with a mod
>>342124835
x10, Randomizer, All crits, RTD, donator effects
>>342129894
You forgot 24/7 orange maps
>>342124835
I always wanted a payload-only server with unlimited round time. Meaning that game doesn't end until blu pushes the cart to the end.
>>342128820
just generally him always going soldier and trying his hardest was what put people off yeah
>>342128768
Not OP, I dunno much about radio mods, but as long as they're mutable I'm fine with it.I have a 4 hour playlist of music I listen to when I play TF2 though. So maybe I can contribute somehow
>>342130821
Well, I remember when I played on a MarioKart server they had a radio you could start whenever you liked, so whomever wanted could listen to it.
What gamemode(s) would work best for a mod where everyone has 3x health (buildings still normal, I'd think)? Someone suggested something like that to me as a way to make random crits not necessarily the "well gg you win regardless of skill" of a fight while still keeping them in (he really likes random crits).
I'd think Spy would need his backstab nerfed in some way, since the other pick class, Sniper, is also nerfed (can no longer oneshot >150HP classes at all, can't quickscope kill).
>>342125581
Stock-only is pretty fun. If you take off all your cosmetics and taunt after every kill, people get really confused as to why they're getting dying to someone they think is a noob.
>>342127378
pd_watergate (or any good PD map, watergate's just the only one I know). It's the best version of TDM I've played in a long time.
>>342130391
Interesting idea, but autobalance would have to be even more aggressive than usual; if a few BLU ragequit, the game's pretty much unwinnable unless RED's full of idiots.
>>342130040
What about low gravity?
>>342124835
I agree with anons saying vanilla as possible would keep shitters away and would be fun, however ocsassionally one game where everything is crazy (10x weapons, etc.) would be pretty fun

Just enable a comp whitelist, it will get rid of most of the obnoxious weapons while keeping the ones that add flare to the game, and you can always edit it yourself
I play it regularly but on valve servers
>>342131692
>keeping the ones that add flare to the game
You'd better not be talking about UGC 6s.
>tide turner banned
>piss rifle banned
>Box Trot banned
>partner taunts banned
>everything Heavy and Engie banned
>they even banned the fucking Sandvich
>>342132331
I meant esea but all that would be banned as well
Honestly as long as you ban stuff like mini sentries and darwins danger shield, there isn't a whole lot of stuff in the context of a pub that is super annoying
>>342124835
>What would you personally be most interested in when it comes to TF2 servers?
No bullshit plugins, no crits and absolutely no ads.
No spread would be cool.
>>342133034
Define bullshit plugins, please?
I, for one, would like a Saxton hale server that only has like 5 or five bosses. My favorites servers died when the admin moved to them to Canada, and almost all playerbase ties were cut.
Basically just:
Saxton Hale, Astronaut, Cave Johnson, HHH, and Christian Brutal Sniper.
I also wouldn't mind a regular server either.
>>342133180
Stuff like
>end round invincibility
>anything to do with premium features
>a plugin that plays server-wide sounds when stuff happens (ANON IS ON A K-K-KILLING SPREE)
>custom skins. they're all terrible
No cosmetics
>>342133625
I don't see a problem with end-round invincibility, but neither do I see any usefulness.
Premium won't be there. I'd rather have less servers in total than be unable to sustain it with my own money.
The other plugins you mentioned are BS indeed
>>342133776
>but neither do I see any usefulness
Yeah this is pretty much what I mean. It's just a plugin that adds bloating and nothing else. It's like people add that plugin for the sake of adding a plugin, it's dumb. My favorite community servers are the ones that stay as vanilla as possible.
OP, make sure you keep sprays on. Sprays are a vital part of TF2.
>>342132818
DDS seems like it's so easy to balance, too. Just give small resistances across the board and no health buff so a headshot still kills, then give the health buff to the piss rifle. Boom, now the old item set means "no quickscopes on either side."Probably doesn't work too well in practice, but it's better than "equip DDS to win Sniper fights."
>>342133180
Dota sound clips that play "M-m-m-monster kill!" every time the fifth Scout runs into some Engie's nest.
Probably RTD.
VSH
Noncosmetic premium bullshit
>>342133625
>custom skins
>that one server found on quickplay and immediately blacklisted with pony model replacements
>>342124835
permaban anyone with anime, brony, furry avatars
>>342133948
I still remember when that angel hat was given to those who didn't idle, and then idle servers quickly replaced that hat with a hovering "FAGGOT" above your head. Good shit.
>>342124835
Good customs maps, bonus point for people music spamming and shitting on people that tries to talk like the server is a blog
>What would you personally be most interested in when it comes to TF2 servers?
Custom Maps. They're tons of great custom maps but most community servers don't have any that isn't made "official" and the few servers that do are usually dead.
My only wish is for sprays to be enabled.
>>342130821
There's a very popular radio mod that only plays if you type !radio.
And it's a nice little extra, no hassle for the visitors.
Another thing I was thinking about could be RTD, but I am not so sure if it'll be too many things.
>>342136497
Probably not a good idea, especially if you're trying to be somewhat serious and nocrits.
>>342124835
15 minute map rotations.
30 minute map rotations is too long and so many servers do it
1.fixed spread on
2. random crits off
3. class limt 2 per team
do these and im willing to give it a spin
>>342136897
Yeah, let's scratch the RTD.
sounds sexy OP
bumpan
>>342135204
>pony pictures everywhere
no thanks
>>342138101
Horsefags get bent.
>>342136913
>Map rotations
Nah fuck that, if I wanted to play a different map I'd leave the server and join another one
>mfw prop hunt tf2 with /v/
>>342139278
How bad of an idea would that be?
>>342136917
>Class limits
Yes please
It will be ruined within a week tops.
You are wasting your time and money. Guaranteed.
>>342140414
Memes and tons of mic spamming
>>342125201
Damage spread off too
Good custom maps
No custom models or sounds
Plugins for better end-of-round scoreboards and better votekicking
