Updates of the Week (ongoing discussion)

Tried 5 random pub servers today.

Every one of them, there were only like 3 - 4 people including me who had pings <100, the rest were like 200+

Game is nothing but laggy foreigners who have no idea what they're doing now.  >

Weird. I haven't had that problem yet. Only thing I've had a bother with is 3 heavys on a team with tomislav on every goddamn server I go to.

You've been playing with a 150+ foreigner for 3 years and i don't think it's been that much of a bad experience

[k0ala]

considering that noble gentleman from faroff lands managed to get a fucking domination on me through a series of headshots I must respectfully concur. SOME foreigners are okay. 

[backfire]

So I've been out of things for longer than I'd like. About how many of these F2P'ers actuallg seem like decent human beings?

You don't count, normally your lag isn't *too* bad, and you know what you're doing.

Is it just me or is blue server really laggy? I get fine ping but it still feels really laggy.  I only ask because it's actually been populated (with randoms) these last copule of days.

On the plus side, gs.com doesn't get DDOS'd every three days.

You can rename a strange weapon, and it will still keep its "level name" on the second line.

The Glorious Free2Play Update

[Wyrmidon]

So it's begun.  Some idiot announce that he  was tired of playing legit, and that'd he'd be back on an alt. came back and used speed hacks, which got some other idiot thinking he was free to do the same, and speed hacked.

[[SiN] Merc]

Then he was banned. They build a better mouse? We'll build a better mousetrap.

[Spore]

Got a couple more hackers? Get a couple more admins. Problem solved.

[Vongore]

It took an admin like 10 minutes to arrive (Versus was the only one available) enough for 2 players to blacklist the server.

Problem is that the hackers weren't the only ones, 4 or 5 other guys were just trolling, audiospamming, throwing racist claims, shouting on the mic, etc..

And it was Sunday at 1AM.

If you ever need an admin on short notice late at night, shoot me a steam message. I'm usually working at my computer anyway.

Loqutus is usually up  late too, just poke around if you need someone

[Grimthwacker]

Got the Detonator as a random reward yesterday (along with the Jumper's Jeepcap, my first random hat!  Yay!), and I think it's a nice replacement to the Flare Gun; no downsides that I can see other than the detonation trigger apparently being very finicky.  Sometimes it works fine, others I keep pushing the alt-fire button and nothing happens.  Anybody else having this problem?
