Reducing the time gained for capping is a bad change for both sides, since as previously mentioned, it forces a lot more forced fights with time constraints. While I agree with reducing cap time and reducing red spawn times as a balance for this map, the real changes this map needs are located in point A and point B, since A is chocked up as a freebie cap for offense.

What I feel should be a change for this map is to completely reconstruct the way A-C-B connect, so that Iron Man Defense becomes more feasible as a defense option, but more fun. Defending B is so easy, defending A is so hard, and C is a decent point to defend and push. I feel like point A would need an overhaul on spawn-access for Blu, rotating power for Red, and then the map would play out much better in my opinion

Not gonna lie, every single person on this roster would be my fantasy pick for an EU team. Stefaaaaaaan hype!

Every time I try to connect to sd_doomsday_event or launch it on my own server, I crash just before joining. When I use map sd_doomsday_event to launch the map, I get this listing

I've verified cache but I still crash when trying to launch the map. Where are these files? Will re-downloading the map work? Will deleting maps folder then verifying cache do it?

EDIT: mat_picmip -1 solved this issue, thank you STOGE.

covers more of what you were looking for in pros/cons of careers. This might be the article you were looking for

I've been interested in searching in different ways, and this article doesn't include anything like "Careers are short" but it does cover 5 points and includes the challenges of each point within the industry

That beater perk though...

that would mean connecting to DC would mean more ping though

trace route, I knew it was something. Thank you.

EDIT: looking forward to getting DDoS'd

It's all about routing. Your internet provider specifically goes through more pings to get to Dallas than Washington DC for whatever ill conceived reason. I used to get 100+ to chicago servers from south florida with AT&T because of all the pings I had to go through to connect, then the routing changed and it went back to its normal 60-70 range.

In essence, it's probably mostly your internet provider, I can't remember the steps you can put in CMD to find out the pings from your ip to a server in dallas/dc to compare, but there is a way, and you'll see where the most traffic happens (for me, the pings spiked around chicago for whichever routing my AT&T went through). Pinpointing the problem server and then calling IP support or something can bring it to their attention that your ping is spiked starting with x server when routing to dallas that's wrong. You can see where the problem spike happens but you'd need to contact that server owner. Contacting your IP Support about the routing couldn't hurt though. Let them know that the current routing gives you latency issues for dallas.

EDIT: go to cmd and type tracert <ip address> and it'll show the pings along the routing, which identifies the server that causes the problem in routing

I've never had anything above 60Hz but my understanding is you're basically seeing everything in like slightly slow motion and you feel stupid for not being able to aim before, and you aim with 120+ Hz with no problem

my friend was gonna be Victor from corpse bride, he literally has the same head and hair, but tornado in texas prevented this. He's fine, but the place he was going isn't.

I'm certain he'll plug it so that when Valve devs watch this weekend, they'll see it needs a buff

stabby can go into great detail with how backstab registration works so that's probably why he's teaching

Did this fix contracts? I still press F2 and can't decrypt contracts because they don't show up

EDIT: jk hud update helped

That 1k MB download was rough on me
