tf2f server suggestion

Now this is just a "throwing it out there," don't hate.


What if we changed insane like Train such that crits were back on, and all talk is on.


I have been pubbing around various servers.  Our servers are very "pro."  No crits means I can basically only play my main classes to any degree of success.  srs bsns.


Goofing on other pubs, I find that all-talk promotes a jovial atmosphere where regulars joke, bust on eachother, frag eachother, and generally have a good time.

Crits being on means players can play any of the 9 classes, with enough success that it is fun.  TF2 has been out long enough that my main classes get boring.  Sometimes, I want to play fattie and punch things.


TLDR version: how would people feel about one of our servers going to alltalk + crits on?

A lot of this is done on vent though.

I believe that's what #3 is for D:

that's why I play on ATF.... cough....


Pro like Chro should remain exactly like it is, just for that reason. 

    Now, we all know that i'm not any sort of authority figure in the community, but I'm thinking that the general concensus is that we're attemping to provide something different than the hundreds of alltalk/ crit pubs out there.  TF2F has this established image as a very competitive community with a higher average level of play, and I don't think that anybody here would really be willing to part with that.  If you really feel that you'd rather play on a dime a dozen alltalk servers, you could always just go play on one of the dime a dozen alltalk servers.

EDIT: ninja'd by rick squiggles AND dish

imo we just use vent entirely too much. We have come to rely on it as our means of communcation even on pubs. This alienates anyone who isn't on our vent. We should use ingame more, it really isn't THAT bad.

We have 3 public servers.  why not offer more variety?

Right, because nobody on the other team or in other servers is ever worth talking to

The thing is, we do offer variety.  We provide an extremely unique service relative to most other servers.  I know that you mean within our own playerbase, but personally I don't see why we need another average pub server.  The old CK "noob like Scoob" server was barely ever occupied without an event, because it didn't offer anything special.

We need two pro servers. They are filling up daily and staying full. It's not broke so we don't need to fix it.

We have server 3 and I don't think crits are on there but we get it going pretty consistantly as well.

If we get a 4th server going we can explore this possibility but as of right now are successful with the way things are.

Pretty sure most will be against the crits suggestion, myself included.
