#18 Newbie Mixes and the future in TF2 General Discussion

CitricNewbie mixes is a treasure. When I was frustrated with a season of ugc, tf2center being horrible, and not knowing what to do to improve, I found newbie mixes. The difference it made in my ability to learn 6s was astounding- no other resource came anywhere near teaching me so much about the game, as quickly, and as effectively as newbie mixes.

After two seasons of UGC, not knowing how to actually get onto an open team, newbie mixes was there again. I got placed with an awesome group of teammates, with an excellent mentor, and had a really fun season.

None of this would have likely happened without newbie mixes.

Every time I talk to somebody who wants to get into competitive, I point them to newbie mixes. WITHOUT FAIL, the ones who play in them tell me it was really fun and they are really excited to play more competitive tf2.

There were 11 open teams formed in the most recent newbie mix team drive. That's probably around 50-70 players who played in ESEA that wouldn't have otherwise.

I hope somebody steps up. Save newbie mixes!

How many of those teams played more than 6 matches? It seems to me like the newbie mix team drive (not newbie mixes themselves) were artificial growth more than anything.

#118 Philosophical Question About Whitelists/Blacklists in TF2 General Discussion

b4nnyI've already outlined how these changes do not reduce the fun of the game but instead they can expand it, .

maybe since you've played so long normal 6s bores you idk but I don't see how you can say running more engie more heavy or more pyro expands how much you can enjoy tf2.

#69 Philosophical Question About Whitelists/Blacklists in TF2 General Discussion

corsaSnackb4nnyWe know that they have a major competitive update coming, so why are we still acting like they've given up?
How can you still be this blind? I hate having to derail the conversation even further, but we began our wait for "a major competitive update" in 2013. When it finally came out 3 years later it was complete garbage and too little, too late. During the wait to that, we've had some of the notoriously worst updates that have done nothing for neither the casual community, nor the competitive one.

Do you seriously, seriously still believe that your almighty Valve to come and bless us with a game saving update that will land us on the front page of Twitch every hour and give us weekly LANs?

b4nny, it really scares me how you're one of the most popular people in this community, and therefore have a huge effect on your followers, yet you're this backwards minded.
Before you answer this question banny, it should be reworded. Of course you don't think there are going to be just one or two updates that solves these issues. You think it'll take time. I understand that you're fine with it taking a while to ultimately reach a point where we wouldn't have to ban any weapons. What about, however, the weapons in this game that can NOT be balanced and that can not be fun to play against even if changed, unless they were revised to the point where nobody would use them anymore (aka not "balanced")?

Can you explain how to go about some of those weapons? how can something like the beggars bazooka, air strike, or parachute ever be balanced if you were to keep in mind what makes soldier as fun, challenging, unique, and balanced as it is? Do you think people play soldier in competitive to sit in the sky and spam rockets or even to shoot multiple rockets at once, or is it because of the unique element of soldier that only arena shooters (or a mix of arena shooters and other fps's) might offer? I personally enjoy the unique and challenging part of soldier. To reiterate, you can suggest that it takes skill to use the beggars or airstrike, but is it really the same feel that makes tf2 the mix of arena shooter it is?

You can add all these weapons and also balance them, but why? Why would you make an fps game, especially one that already has a diverse selection of classes, more moba-esque in the sense that picking weapons is one of the main strategies? That was never the fun part of tf2, and it never will be. It has nothing to do with being afraid of change; it has to do with change in the wrong direction, the direction that everyone including yourself never enjoyed. You're lying to yourself if you disagree with the last sentence, because you constantly complain about specific weapons used in hl and how they should've never been implimented in the game. That's almost word for word from one of your streams a few months ago, btw.

this may be the smartest thing ever typed by a sniper main

Please get a PSU that can at least manage 80+ Bronze.

The 120$ for Microsoft Office hurt a lot. Is that really necessary?

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MfvZxr/evga-450w-80-bronze-certified-atx-power-supply-100-b1-0450-k1

Switched to this power supply. Also, microsoft office is necessary she needs it for work.

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/saam/saved/YdGkLk Here is the list now.

edit: added this SSD because dell cancelled the other ones https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zzyxFT/sandisk-internal-hard-drive-sdssda120gg25, can't afford to be any more expensive than this

iresaamsamifacesaamsamifaceStevieDoes anyone know if there will be 144hz monitors?
We were hoping we would have some in time for this lan for the open teams but unfortunately that's not the case. If you want to bring you own you can, we'll try to move you as little as possible.
Wait what the fuck? Really!?

That's fucking retarded
Invite's going to be taken care of but open isn't going to happen, sometimes things change/are out of my direct control.
Esports Arena doesn't have the peripherals used to play esports hmmI wouldn't say that a 144hz monitor is entirely needed and they have them, just not enough to ensure that everyone would get one, thusly it would be unfair

shut the fuck up

How is having a large weapon banlist confusing? When I started playing it took me maybe 2 seconds to figure out I couldn't equip the wrangler.

Oh, I picked up that $20 SSD from Dell, forgot to mention it.

Also I'm guessing you meant I don't need 8gb and should go with 4?
