Just wondering to those that have played this for a while in actual games: does the "uncanny valley" feeling of this map mess with anyone else as much as it does me?

This is obviously not a criticism or anything, rather an observation. After spending hundreds (potentially even 1k hours) of hours on the original map (my OG inhouse pug group played gully religiously back in '12-'14), something just feels deeply "off" when playing this new version. I felt this weird feeling of unease when it came up in DM before the cup yesterday, so much so that I had to go to another server.

Is this something that you guys have felt goes away after playing it for a bit?

edit: to clarify, I think what you're doing is amazing & this is not meant to say "i don't like it" or "let's stay in 2010 and never make anything better" lol. just want to see if this is a feeling felt by more folks than just me/ the couple other gamers i was in mumble with at the time

Had a bootleg audio setup for like 6 months my senior year of high school where i had to listen to myself for my mic to work. Got used to it after like 3 weeks or so and now it never bothers me.

Yeah, it's definitely wild that people still don't have this set up yet. That said, it's important to point out specific instances, so that people are encouraged to get it sorted!!

The website is a security mess at the moment, for more reasons than the plaintext pw. I would advise against signing up until they confirm and prove these issues have all been resolved in a post.

A) if they are at all able to know what my password is, they aren't storing it as an encrypted hash in any meaningful way. i hope their definition of resolving this is redoing their entire password system rather than just not making it clear to the user their pw's are stored this way. it'd actually be better to leave it as is than just removing the display
B) vpn, dw about ip

idk how/why they're serving me my password if it isn't stored in plain text or functionally stored as plain text

the fact that they don't know they're doing something fundamentally wrong here is even more alarming

Heads up to anyone using this website to redeem your gamer bucks

Passwords seem to be stored as plain text, so have your browser generate a random one & change your other PWs if you already signed up with a re-used one (also don't do that lol)

You can do it!! Sign up for the s5 newbie.tf team drive if you don't have a team yet! Happy new year!

I will start it off :)

In addition to doing the admin stuff I still help with, my newbie.tf resolution is to coach a newbie mix at least every other month throughout the year 2021.

Hey everyone, happy end of this super shitty year!

New years resolutions are hard, and I have a way to make them less hard: make an easy resolution!

If you meet our coaching requirements (you've made RGL Trad. 6s IM playoffs), commit to coaching a few newbie mixes in the new year!! Post below your NA 6v6 Newbie Mix coaching resolutions in this thread.

You can also post your other new years resolutions, I guess. Happy new year, tftv!!
