Support NeoGAF

[Head of Vengarl]

Is GAF shitting the bed for anyone else? I've been trying to log on since like 10am this morning and I just got in.

my roommates changed the internet to u-verse and it's made CS pretty much unplayable. i haven't played in like 3 weeks

Shit son. Hope you get that sorted out. I was playing on WiFi the other day and my ping was like 50-100+ what it normally is, and yeah CS is not fun at all when you're lagging like that.

You heathen. 1 deags are godlike. You can't give up on it.

1 deags are godlike, too bad they now have less to do with skill and more to do with blind luck. The deagle in 1.6 was amazing. Now it's not nearly worth the $800 price.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I actually think having a ping between 45-75ms is perfect for GO.

I'm almost certain there's some sort of lag compensation thingymebob going on playing this game.

 

[Uriah]

I get a ping of around 5-10 usually. People ask me if I work for Valve lol

Spoiler

Shame it doesn't help my aim that much.

I usually have 15ms and people peeking first just dinkify me.

A Valve employee test match is handing out Dreamhack drops after each round right now. Go to GOTV ingame to join. edit- OVER

How? Don't I need an ip?

You have to click on the WATCH tab in the game's main menu. It ended a bit ago, sorry.

Yeah just noticed. damn things are already on the market for 120.

 

[KingKong]

It seems like it's just random skins with one of the dreamhack stickers on them right? No idea how its worth ~$120 (and I saw some of them sell)

Why are you playing on Militia anyway? From what I've played, hostage maps are basically "try not to die too much as CT and then make a comeback as Terrorists."

 

[bs000]

What time does Dreamhack start? Did they get drops working on twitch? What channels should I be following on twitch?

Militia's great. Play it with friends and beware of playing at 4 AM.

 

[KingKong]

ooo they replaced the weapon drops with 90 new weapons! http://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2013/11/8199/

Heh, for a second there I read "p90 new weapons" and I was like awwww yissss p90 lovin' all around! Then it turned out all the other stupid guns got skins as well

 

[sibarraz]

the expensive weapons doesn't drop on public matches right?

 

[FreddieQuell]

4 am eastern tomorrow morning. I think drops are working but who knows. twitch.tv/dreamhackcs

Militia is really fun. I'm a dmg now. Trying to get back my eagle master I lost from not playing for 8 months.

 

[CountAntonius]

Hoping to get some of the new skins to drop so I can fund some steam sales.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

I only played Militia in matchmaking once and it was not enjoyable. And there isn't any of the strategy of the de maps. You just try not to get AWP'd in the first 20 seconds and then hopefully pick off enough of the other team to win.

I played some games, but one game had no drops, the other was all cases, and another the only drop was a Gunmetal Five-Seven. No idea what any of the new skins are.

You played Militia once and decided it had little/no strategy. I've played Militia dozens of times and have decided it does, in fact, have strategy.

I get it, though. You had a bad experience on a map, so it's easy to write it off.

You just try not to get AWP'd in the first 20 seconds and then hopefully pick off enough of the other team to win.

I'm pretty sure you can apply the exact same statement to Dust 2.

Seems like the event is starting

http://www.twitch.tv/dreamhackcs/
http://www.twitch.tv/dreamhackcs2/

(yes these streams will give drops)

 

[Winternet]

How do I get drops?

 

[Lourio]

Any images of the new drops? Can't seem to find any.

 

[bs000]

Go back to the game!

Dreamhack cases can be opened now. You can search for guns from the cases by searching for 'souvenir' on the market. It looks like it's mostly the new drops from last nights patch, with Dreamhack stickers attached to them:

[questionmark]

Go back to the game!

I saw that moment live. I reacted almost the exact same way.

Been watching/idling all day, haven't gotten a single drop yet. : |

 

[KingKong]

how to get high player numbers: tell them they can get weapon drops http://store.steampowered.com/stats/

Imagine what the numbers would be like if they actually supported the game with meaningful content?

 

[Xizk]

Got a dreamhack case .

 

[CountAntonius]

Lucky you. I been watching since the beginning and haven't had a single drop.

How dare you take the mick out of Sir Scoots.

 

[Uriah]

If I watch on twitch can I get drops?

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

If I watch on twitch can I get drops?

Yes, you have to ensure your twitch account is connected to your steam one.

 

[Xizk]

Yes, if you connected Steam to your account.

Remember when Valve supported TF2 with "meaningful content" like weapons that intentionally and pointlessly disrupt the balance of the game? The Pomson? Absurdly rare items that only exist to further monetize the game?
They're pretty content just to put in skins and do map passes for CSGO.

I was thinking some more maps which the best talent in the world could help design. Maybe spruce up old maps like they've done for the game?

How about a new game mode? - Possibilities are endless.

But we get gun skins and drops to inflate numbers.

I agree I'd like more old maps but Valve has always sucked at making new maps, no matter what the game is

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Hire Volcano then.

Give him a chance to actually shake this game up properly.

 

[CountAntonius]

Complexity in the semi finals. Didn't think we would see an american team competing. Astana Dragons super team out.

 

[Prelithe]

Just bought CS:GO, and wondering if I should buy an Operation Bravo Pass as its on sale?

It's worth is for cache alone. It's cheap so I'd say buy it.

 

[chessnut]

Yeah. It keeps track of your competitive stats too.

 

[chessnut]

what? This game has amazing support. It's immensely better than what it was 3 months ago, let alone since it first came out.

bomb planting sound, map tweaks, adding the the m4a1-s/usp, and decent map packs just off the top of my head.

 

[sibarraz]

valve knew how to gave life to the game, now seems to be really popular without comparing it to other games

 

[Winternet]

I got 2 souvenir cases yesterday (different steam accounts) and all I got is JUNK
mp7 field tested and nova field tested. fuck!

 

[Deleted member 102362]

Absolutely. $0.99 is the cheapest the passes will ever be. Plus, part of the money goes to the mapmakers.

You'll get enough drops to pay the pass back anyway.

 

[questionmark]

Dreamhack has been pretty great so far. Many close games.

 

[Wallach]

It's been pretty awesome. I've really missed watching competitive CS.

Complexity's win over the Dragons was so good. Felt a bit bad for Reason losing to the Dragons in the way they did on Nuke.

Should be a really great last day judging by yesterday's games.
