Advanced Pub Servers

Hello all :3

I would say, like most of people here are more advanced. That is why, my friend and I decided to try out these advanced pubs. Now I know what you are thinking, but hold on for a second.

When I began playing this game almost 4 years ago, I loved it, not that I don't know, but pubs these days, I find annoying to be honest.

Yes, pubs are not serious at all, but when we all began we took them seriously because we didn't know the difference.

So, with this we could have a pub server, that has good players, where you still have to try, and there is room to improve, and not a total joke like Valve/Skial pubs (no offense).

Sure, you might argue that if you wanted to improve or play with better people you can play pickups/lobbies, MGE Mod, or DM. Well, I find it that too much MGE or Death Match gets annoying, and sometimes I feel like playing a pub either because I don't feel like a lobby but also don't feel like getting stormed by hoards of W+M1 random crit pyros.

So just give us a shot, here are our servers:

And please if you have nothing good to say, don't say it and move on.
Remember be respectful to others on the servers, and have fun!

Is it the instant respawn that make these pubs "advanced"?

I'm all for good pub communities, but maps like 2fort, degrootkeep, and dustbowl usually aren't thought of as maps that encourage competitive play, even in a pub setting.

It is just a pub, from my experience no one "good" ever does the map objective.

Yeah, but I find if we kept doing badlands or Process it will be boring, i find this to add more "spice" :p

I guess 2k hours of my pub CTF career were a lie, then.

About that. You guys just seem concerned with populating your servers which is fine and all, but don't come here and say fast respawn and random crits appeal to "advanced" players.

OK_RickAre they no crit/spread?

Joined one of the servers and they do have random crits.

A good effort but as some others have stated you need to change a few things if you're looking for "advanced pubs"

Remove Random Crit
Since Damage Spread is off by default now I assume that you left it as such
Remove Fast Respawn (Not sure why this would be considered anything less than a DM server at this point)
I would say add in Gorge (CP)/G-pit if you want some popularity since these are two favorite "pub" maps.
Add in Barnblitz_pro/Steel
Not sure if you have it or not, but you definitely want class caps

Sure there's a few other things but those are what I see as MAJOR things you would need to gain some traction IMO.
I would instantly add most of the servers to my favorites IF there was no Random Crit/Fast Respawn, just FYI.

Either way, good luck to you glad to see some more people trying to improve the game!

so u have these pubs for the exact purpose of trying really hard, but simultaneously you dont want people to be encouraged to try hard?

Encouraging more experienced players to pub on your server is not a bad idea but this website is almost completely geared towards 6v6 and not a single server you have posted is hosting a 6v6 map.

That said, I realize you don't get any competitive edge from playing a huge pub server but players like myself enjoy warming up against live targets on whatever map we have scrims/matches on for that week. Basically what I am saying is maybe put some 6's maps in your rotation.

Well I am not a server owner, and have no power is adding or changing servers, but i tell all of them to the server owner, but he said that he wanted something different, not just 6v6 maps, like gully, badlands, process, he was focusing on maps that were forgotten by the competative tf2 community.

No, that is not the point, pal. What we are trying to achieve here is a community that has less of people who run around doing nothing, that doesn't mean having fun and going around with the market gardener or cabering folks, it is all for fun and games. We just don't want, with all due respect, "noobs" who just ruin the game.

ghettofishWell I am not a server owner, and have no power is adding or changing serversghettofishSo just give us a shot, here are our servers:

'us', 'our'?
so, hoes does this work? you have no say in what's going on at your servers? maybe you should have a talk with your co-owner there..
if you want your servers to be more attractive to 'advanced players', then i think you'll want to listen to some suggestions made here. and is fast-respawn really attractive to comp players?
