#116 Serpents qualifies for DreamHack Summer in News
ZestyThe other main issue is I think that a significant number of lower level european players don't seem to browse tftv. Might be a sampling bias thing because I know more european players in general, but the number of EU flags from players I don't know of compared to the number of US/Canada flags from players I don't know of is pretty significant. It's probably worth sideshow or someone whoring the shit out of cups when he streams because people will probably realise that they're happening more readily than just putting it on tftv. :/

Can confirm.

I'm a low level euro player and I've only seen like 3-4 people posting on tftv out of the hundreds of open/mid players that I know.

cirloSince you're discussing about how the tf2 scene is still small for what it potentially can be, i think you can spare David since he's surely not the problem of it but quite the opposite.

Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to diminish his contribution to tf2, he's obviously done a ton for the scene.
I just dont think that should exclude him from being called out when he's wrong, like in this case.

cirloSentinelDavidTheWin-snip The person that spends his entire day on this forum and on every single tf2 twitch stream yet doesn't play the game complains about other people not playing cups. Funny.Tho i understand/share some of your points the fact you've fallen to a so low level makes me puke.

He calls others "too fucking scared" to play tf2 and says that they want to go back to "their safe space where losing doesn't matter". He then calls their choice of how to spend their free time "an absolute waste of time".

I'm just calling out the hypocrisy.

DavidTheWinSpend thousands of hours practicing the game to play it competitively then when a chance comes around to play it competitively people are too fucking scared to play because "wah I might lose". To add insult to injury they then go and pug and mix all afternoon which is an absolute waste of time compared to playing in a structured cup. Even if you did get knocked out after a round that just means you can get back to your pug/mix safe space sooner where losing doesn't matter. Even if you can't field a full roster, playing with 3/4 of your main team is better than mixing with potentially none of them.

The person that spends his entire day on this forum and on every single tf2 twitch stream yet doesn't play the game complains about other people not playing cups. Funny.

Anyway to reply to your actual post most people don't pug and mix to get better, they do it because it's a fun hobby. Some people play tf2 to pub some to jump, some like playing 6s. This isn't the pokemon theme song, not everyone wants to be the very best, most people just find pugging in a 6s format to be a fun passtime.

Painting everyone that doesn't sign up for a cup as a scared crybaby is just retarded.

SideshowHave you ever played a sport in your life? If you make it to the next stage of a tournament or win your heat to get into another round you are hyped to challenge yourself against better opponents. I've never met such a strangely pathetic attitude in competition as we have here, where as soon as you're unlikely to LITERALLY win the whole thing you give up.

Excuse the double post I'm on mobile and I'm too lazy to edit my other one. This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. That's what etf2l does to you. You beat your opponents and win a div so you're excited to move up a div to play stronger opponents

You're making it sound like sports get the winner of the middle school basketball tournament to play the Lakers next month which is what being an open/mid/low high team and signing up in a cup vs nameless or suave or whoever else would feel like

It's easy to be preachy and condescending when you're already at the top

Sideshowsnip

That's just the thing sideshow. Your view of the scene has been massively skewed from being at the top for so long. That's why I see you and other top players like kaja in this thread taking the same stance on this issue. You just mentioned teams like top5 and dd+5 and pcmr as being teams of nobodies who made a name for themselves and you're asking for more teams like them. Thats just the thing though, those aren't your average etf2l teams, they're teams who all have players that have been in the scene for years and have competed near the top. Those ain't your average open or mid or whatever players.

And about teams winning open over and over again as you say, well no one does that. If you're good you move up divs till you can't move up any longer (minus a few sandbaggers here and there). No one is content with winning a low div but people know their limits. You move up gradually as you get better over the years.

Telling a team "oh you just won open now go and fight nameless" is like asking a kid that's had a few martial arts classes to go and fight a dude with a black belt.

Ond_kajaTo sustain an online cup system people actually need to sign up for them. However, it is ingrained in people's mind that ETF2L is the prime place for playing TF2, so people only play online cups if they are done on ETF2L. However, if you look at it objectively, ETF2L is a really shitty system compared to online cups. If you play well for 8 weeks and focus hard, you might win prem, which will win you a whopping €500, which is half of the prize you get from winning ONE qualifier. You can not fund LAN trips from playing ETF2L alone, that's why people need to support online cups so they keep happening, and so people can actually fund themselves to LAN without having to beg the community for a fundraiser every single year.

People from all divisions, please stop prioritising ETF2L above online cups, the priority is the other way around if you want TF2 to keep living. There is a reason why SUAVE/Serpents play in these cups and not in the season. There are 200 teams in ETF2L, if just a a fifth played in online cups we would have a MUCH healthier online scene.

The thing is, etf2l has many skill based divisions and people can play other teams of their corresponding skill level and get a neat medal and bragging rights/a sense of accomplishment for being good enough to play or place highly in a certain div.

Cups on the other hand are free for everyone to enter so only top players actually bother signing up because only they have a chance at winning.

You can't seriously expect an open/mid/low high team to get hyped over a cup they know they have absolutely no chance of winning.

#4 Deleting too many demos can delete tf folders. in Q/A Help

My guess is, you were inside the custom/maps folder, went back to tf, held down the multiselect key to select all the demos you wanted to delete and it also marked the last folder you were in (maps/custom) because it was still technically selected when you clicked back.

#55 What interp is the best? in TF2 General Discussion
TFCrafterseanbudprojectile .0152
hitscan .033-.08 based on your ping to the server

read the netcode shit in chris's fps configs

do you know if it is possible to specify what weapon should use projectile interp or hit-scan interp?

Well you already necroed the thread so I might as well answer.

You can't change interp between weapons, its been patched ages ago. You can only set 1 interp value per class. So it's not rocket science really, projectile classes (soldier, demo, med for surfs, pyro for reflects) use the projectile interp, the rest use the hitscan one.

In the future, please start a new thread instead of bumping 3 year old ones

ShpeeismeAnd you can only use them in pubs right?

Only on servers with sv_pure 0 or 1. All comp servers (and a lot of pubs) use sv_pure 2 which blocks them.
