I've never really practiced surfing directly tbh. The only real tip is to make sure you jump just before the damage is inflicted upon you at which point you can airstrafe the damage in whatever direction you like.

What yewl said ^^

Tbh I really didn't notice that much of a difference at all after the demo nerf. I'd argue the only real major difference is kritz effectiveness.

On topic though, learn how to surf damage effectively. Being able to surf any damage (especially meatshots) is possibly one of the most important skills a demoman needs to have.

Feel free to send me a friend request and I'll gladly sign it!

I have recently moved house and unfortunately I no longer have internet capable of streaming (thanks Australian internet...)

However, I will be moving back home on new years so I should be able to start streaming once again when I do!

350 ping for us :D

In all seriousness though, we'd probably be keen regardless of ping

We unfortunately have no way of doing this currently. I'll have a chat to geel and see if anything can be sorted out!

Directly? Unfortunately, no.

However, you can use the scrap.tf bots to trade and convert your items into an equivalent amount of keys/refined metal. You can then donate those just fine :)

Ever since i58, Jasmine Tea has been yearning for another chance to make their mark on the international level. When Rewind LAN at Esports Arena was officially announced a month ago, it seemed too good to be true. There were initially some doubts regarding the team’s ability to attend but ultimately, the opportunity to compete on the world stage again proved too great to refuse. With that being said, I can happily announce that Jasmine Tea will be joining the top American and European teams at Rewind LAN in January!

Click here for a detailed breakdown of the endeavour, which includes the team roster and many canine related perks….

While each team member will all be contributing their own share to pay for the expenses, we can’t do it alone. Attending i58 proved to be an absolutely unforgettable experience for the entire team but not only that, it provided us the opportunity to showcase some of the most exciting TF2 the world has seen. That is why we are reluctantly asking you - this insanely generous community - for your support once again. Please help us get to California so that we may recapture the awesome spectacle of having the best teams from around the planet compete against each other for the title of best team in the world!**

Be sure to follow @malplays on twitter to join us on our journey to America and for all future Jasmine Tea updates.

**and maybe, just maybe, WE CAN FINALLY BREAK THIS ****ING FOURTH PLACE CURSE

No problem :)

Download and use the plugin StatusSpec, which can be found here: http://www.teamfortress.tv/17560/statusspec

It has a function that enables highlighted killfeed for players even on an stv. First you'll need to enter the following command: statusspec_localplayer_enabled 1
This will enable the feature.

You next have to specify which player you would like the killfeed highlighted for. Unfortunately, the most convenient command to do this, statusspec_localplayer_set_current_target, has been broken for a while and doesn't look like it will be fixed anytime soon.

Fortunately, an alternative exists. You can still use statusspec_localplayer_player just fine.

In order to use this command you need to enter the following into console: statusspec_localplayer_player x,
where "x" is the player index number. Basically, if there are 12 people in the server, each player will have a number assigned to them ranging from 1-13 I believe (13 because it counts the free camera located inside the map as a player for some reason). It will take some trial and error to find the correct number corresponding to the player you want the killfeed highlighted for but it shouldn't take too long at all.

So for example, if the player you wanted to highlight the killfeed for had an index number of "5" you'd first enable the localplayer feature, i.e. enter statusspec_localplayer_enabled 1 into console. Then you'd enter statusspec_localplayer_player 5 into console. The killfeed for that player should now be highlighted.

I was really frustrated for ages thinking that the plugin was broken but was so happy when Beater told me about this alternative method. So yeah, I hope this helps!

Still crashing for me too, 5 months later. Any word on a fix for this at all yet? :\

Are you using Windows 10? I had the exact same issue yesterday after the most recent TF2 update. Consistent fps drops down to 50 or less in 1-2 second intervals exactly like you described. I restarted my PC, checked my CPU and GPU temps (they were completely normal) and everything else you could think of but nothing worked. I also tried removing my custom HUD to see if that would fix it but nope, was still stuttering all over the place.

I then remembered windows had been bugging me the past 3 days about installing the latest windows 10 update. So, out of ideas, I went and installed the update. This fixed it completely. No more stutters or anything, just constant 250+ fps like I've always had.

So yeah, if you have windows 10 and haven't installed the latest update, try that :)
