Just quit mgeing

elo assoc

I did make a public MGE server that is running now:
Elo Associates: 74.91.124.2:27015

Notes to take from that: No elo importing, mge_beta4b (that map), and i guess cool website

self promote :(

Why don't you just use a chillypunch server

<selfpromo>

yall should use my servers lol

theyre essentially all class, (now including sniper!), though I wrote plugins for them to disable dumb stuff like engineer buildings and spy cloak stuff. i also communicated with the old admins of AS to get bans onto my servers because AS has been around significantly longer than my small group of servers, and it's had significantly more traffic. Why wouldn't I trust their judgement?

there's no elo import from AS, though.

they also have sourcetv that only records when there's players on the server, so that I can see if people are being stupid idiots while i'm sleeping or something.

there's also no daily/scheduled restart(s) because there's no real need to do so, at least at the moment. the map cycles just like any other tf2 server, except it does it every hour when it's empty, and it's always the same map.

i've also contributed to the actual mge repo several times to fix several bugs/add spawns for mge_oihguv_sucks, which I currently maintain (which reminds me, I need to make a post about b3_fix1, lol)

Steph why have you included sniper? It should be only Scout and Soldier.

we won't have such incredibly good players like adamracek blessing us with their presence when they realise they can't go demo on spire when losing though

what about when you log on to an mge server to see two pubbers trying to out second scope eachother on spire

idk but i hope it gets resolved soon. I joined an MGE server a couple days ago to see a pyro fighting a heavy on badlands middle.

elo assoc

that’s total bullshit. I’ve yet to play on a public mge server without scheduled restarts or map cycles that didn’t start stuttering hard after ~5 hours

Use Steph's you transphobic apes, nobody else is putting in the work she is with her servers

but they're not good...

you're also putting yourself at risk of being doxxed by an incredibly stable individual

Stfu bro every time a trans person makes a twitch chat message or forum post u guys bring this shit up when its irrelevant

literally she's actually made mge better in a nonobjective way and she's downfragged to oblivion ya I'm sure there's no transphobic reasons for that. I'm astounded everytime I come to this forum at how dogshit bad this community has gotten.

? But like the next 3 comments are about how bad the idea of having other classes than just Scout and Soldier are. Nobody wants to have their map hogged up by Snipers or god knows what else. I thought you were beign sarcastic.

Im a big fan of Steph but her MGE server represents everything that I dont wanna play on.

Also, I know this is just a me thing but I like elo, especially on the American servers where everyone is using some dumb longass alias/japanese name and theres no !div.

Its demoralizing and kind of kills the urge to practice when you are vs a noob, and then that noob won't leave the arena even tho they're getting 20-0'd because they wanna prove something and then it turns into a big waste of time when u could be playing a real guy.

I understand the problems with ELO tho, which mostly ammounts to angry ass 1800s trying their absolute hardest to get ELO off of 2k+ people, so i think the best idea is to have a low ELO cap. that way u can see differentiate between who is a real player and who isn't and the people who are at the top have nothing to gain by playing tryhard and evnetually the 1800s 'wont have a reason' either (it wont make a difference)

She has like 3 servers to choose from, they're never full, and I can't say I've ever had the problem where snipers are taking up slots ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

only thing I could think about complaining about is the 200 tick server not being needed

as mge lets all classes on and u guys played that forever, whats the problem

i think they played on AS because it was just always the most full one, not because they enjoyed that server particulary. it wasnt a concious decision its just u launch tf2, that one has the players on and u join it

if it was something so many people hated enough, wouldn't As recognize the complaint and change it?

The only was I can see she's really made mge better is by updating oihguv, it's not like her servers are revolutionary by any means. 200 tick has become a popular gimmick in the past few months and multiple servers have started implementing it as a test to see what high tickrate tf2 does to competitive training modes. Unless there's other things I'm missing with her server I don't see the validity in the "made mge better in an objective way" claim

While I can't speak for everyone I know most of my friends and people I pug with would prefer to have just scout/soldier (demo on some maps like blands mid) since the vast majority of other class v class duels are really unfun and unrealistic of what types of fights you'll be taking. Combine this with the fact that pubbers often do take up mge arenas and slots forcing people to not use that arena (i cannot count the amount of times I've added to gran last to find a sniper, heavy, or pyro on an allclass server) and it just kinda goes to show unless it's one of the maps like mge_duel that has ulti built in, scout/soldier/maybe demo are the most accepted classes in MGE and most should be locked out

While I know that the trans community in TF2 has recieved its very unfair share of hate for being who they are, steph's getting downfragged because her points are wrong, not because she's trans (at least from what I can tell).

i think they would have all class on regardless of what people felt just to include as much people as possible

and people didnt really care enough to complain because they play it for like 10mins and then go scrim. most people in TF2 don't conciously practice

lots of twitch streamers/youtubers started casting the spy v spy battles and shit instead because they thought it was funny that someone would waste their time doing shit like that

also to answer the question Wolsne server slaps

Wolsne's server is pretty good

that server was just part of a larger network, primarily trade servers. it wasn't intended for people to seriously play and the owner Nacho Replay didn't really care and didn't want people from his other servers upset they could not play sniper/spy/etc

skial mge!

ok so which one are we using tonight im just trynna mge

I think it's a pretty far stretch to say people are going to boycott stephs servers if they're actually good when they're so few alternatives. Like even if we all secretly hated trans people we're not really hurting steph by not playing on her servers, you've got to really hate someone to not take advantage of a free service. A lot the things in stephs post are portrayed as positive when a lot of them seem like more of a negative.

All Class: Negative, if people wanna fuck around and spy vs spy they shouldn't be taking up slots in the server. Just because this isn't an issue right now doesn't mean you should let it become a issue in the future.
Ban-Imports: Can't say I don't know enough about AS, but I kind of disagree with importing bans considering those people haven't done anything wrong on your servers yet and could have had some issues with AS causing them to get banned.
Lack of Server-Restarts: Negative, as proto said servers seem to perform worse without regular restarts and server restarts don't take very long so I don't see why you wouldn't incorporate them.
