While we're on this topic can someone explain what these 2 spots mean on my netgraph? And maybe how I can fix it? I'm on a wireless connection atm but will switch back to wired again.

I get a lot of gaps between the graph and my choke is usually around 19-30, sometimes 60.

What will cevo do to prevent any favoritism or bias towards an item ban, league rules or any other decision making process involving admins/workers/volunteers from this community?

Will there be anything to prevent or discourage teams from dying?

How firm will you be on for things like paying for league fees?

Will there be any events free to the public sponsored by you?

If required in the future would you provide additional resources like deathmatch servers?

-Already knew about ESEA mining for bitcoins a while ago.
-Lawsuit for faulty ESEA client remaining on hardware after uninstall; people comparing to it malware, spyware, etc.
-People getting banned for 10 years after attacking ESEA/Ikpane or showing dissatisfaction.
-Anger thread. Possibility of a new league NA ETF2L, UGC, or CEVO starts to surface here.
-People considering other league choices.
-Nahanni abandoning ESEA as AG sponsor.
-Possibility of an ETF2L for NA
-Nahanni in favor of a CEVO league for TF2 (ETF2L withdraws for CEVO)
-Why not CEVO?
-People still want to stay with ESEA.
-Pyyyour on pro-ESEA support. (Now plenty of arguing over lans/$$$/stability in that thread).

is it beginning

So wait let me see if I can get this right - some people are upset that cevo is taking away from a large pool of esea's userbase and destroying their hopes of getting a lan which caters to their (arguable) influential group in this community. Because they're assuming not getting a lan or increased prize pot will discourage people of higher skill to participate. So their sense of validation comes from a one time event in which less than 10% of the entire community gets to participate in. Secondary validation also coming from a small amount of $$$, nothing to replace a job or anything serious irl. The community generally looks up to this group.

Ok.

Then there are the people who are clearly pissed off at esea for their shit, er 'mistakes.' One being a program which mined for bitcoins and the other being an anti-cheating system still remaining on hardware after uninstalling the client. Others are also unhappy with the quality of service. This group of people accounts for 80% maybe 90% of the community that is not motivated by a one-time event or $$$ to play competitively.

Ok.

Then there are 3 major gaming leagues. One that doesn't really cater to the 6's format and is considered inferior. Then a professional league that offers a lan and a decent prize pot. And now a league that was previously unpopular with players until their recent departure from esea.

Now let's look at the situation. Ugc doesn't really accommodate 6's as well as this community wants. Esea screwed up twice and offers shit service. So here's the question - in this whole situation, who's actually making an effort to provide the BETTER option?

So many people are talking but who's actually doing something about it? Some of you might say 'wait should there even be a better option? Things are fine as they were.' Concerning the state of tf2 as a niche gaming community and the fact that a good people WILL leave esea regardless of what other leagues have to offer, yes. This group of people will not be convinced. They're not leaving esea because cevo, they're leaving esea period. Can't stop this train.

Now cevo. Let's look at what they're doing. Even though its free atm, it will probably benefit from an increase in its tf2 userbase. Already running in loss (meaning no decent community yet), cevo has stepped up and is approaching YOU to come to THEM. Considering how esea has treated this community, shouldn't it be the other way around? Cevo doesn't have any obligation to start catering to all your needs on a whim but they have PROVEN they are willing to listen by working with some influential people in this community like Nahanni. They are willing to work on the prize pots, maybe even consider a future pay to play league as well. Out of all the leagues so far, this is the only one that's actually listening to you. What is esea doing for you and your legit concerns? Issuing 10 year bans? Nice.

I've been following the threads and maybe 1 person here did something on behalf of (maybe even unintentionally) the group wanting to stay in esea - and they wrote up a letter to esea expressing their dissatisfaction. You who say 'we should be staying in esea' what are you doing to show for it? While the rest of the people who WON'T be going to lan are trying to support cevo to start something new, what are you doing with esea that offers a better alternative? Only 1 person wrote a letter, maybe this thread counts too but that's it. If you care so much, show us.

Dear 10%,

A game is only fun when there are people to play with. While you may not like to play with people of less skill, you still need a player base like us to survive. Because some of us not just motivated by a lan to enjoy this game. So if you're caught up in that much of self-interest, do something about it just like the guys who are working with cevo. Do something because so far you've just been sitting around and not having anything to show for your dissatisfaction cept a couple of apologetic posts. Good luck.

Perhaps instead of a free division they should host events everyone can participate in freely. It wouldn't add an unnecessary burden of managing another division and allow people to give them a try.

are people with 200 ping allowed

Damn I wish I had $200 to spend on headphones. But since I'm poor I spent $15 on this one instead. It's not in-ear. Has a built in mic, long cable (about 7 ft), decent durability (dropped it couple of times) and clear recording quality. Sound wise clarity's ok nothing stellar and bass is slightly on the lower side. The max volume also isn't high enough as it could be. I'd still recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap mic with decent quality sound.

I spent $75 for Sennheiser PX 100's (not II's). Those headphones were without a doubt the best quality headphones I purchased at that price (I tried out a few studio quality types too). They were extremely portable, and despite being over ear, made little to no noise, even on medium vol. And the sound quality was awesome. Clear deep bass if I could describe it. They've been discontinued but people are still buying them at a higher price. If you're looking for something extremely portable with no loss in sound quality I'd recommend those. It wouldn't be too hard to attach a mic to it.

Too late. Honestly, it was only a matter of time.

How did you know it was hacking in another game before making this thread?

Hey there.

I'm kinda new to the scene. Played 2-3 scrims for ugc steel as backup med, loved it. Looking to get on an open team. Dedicated to improving. Not bothered by losing really. Generally available from 6pm-11pm pst mon-thurs.

My only problem is I won't be available until Nov 15th and then I have to work out some stuff in my schedule...but I should be able to make it to Dec.

pros
-friendly
-can take objective criticism
-always looking to improve

cons
-kinda new, I guess?
-don't spend much time in mumble since working(I'll be there for scrims/matches though)

Add me if you're interested.

Really like the category idea. This would make it a lot easier to watch what people want and see if anything's lacking. Categories could be Invite/Plat, 6's/HL, Jumpers/Surfers, Pubbers, etc. Most will probably overlap but a good chunk of streamers generally stream the same material. The categories could be color coded or something.

Awesome hud, just one thing I really want to do:

http://s16.postimg.org/u8rxurm3p/2013_10_12_00004.png

How do I make this smaller? I read the guide a bit and went into clientscheme.res, resized ""BoldNumbers54" //Used for hp & ammo" to change the large hp/ammo fonts.

I also tried resizing "//AmmoReserve, Uber% & Counters" but it didn't work. Would appreciate it if you can tell me what I'm doing wrong, thanks.

Nice simple looking hud, I personally don't like thick fonts but it's your call as a stylistic preference.

The positioning is close for red/blu buttons, maybe you can color them to distinguish easily? They look kinda similar.

And any reason for shifting the engineer building menu down to the left? Also maybe you should implement that yellow golden color on the stat bars or something since you seem to like it. I think someone did it with aqua blue bars in some other hud can't recall the name.

Damn that is some clean work. Some specs?
