"Same here. Icy, for the past couple of days I am still being kicked. What's the deal?"
Try it out again if you can, I just tried now when it was 23/24 and was able to join when over 22 for the first time in a couple days. I think he may have fixed it.

"tried again, worked at 23/24. however this time round i saw the server at 24/24 quite often and of course couldn't connect then 
edit: kicked when connecting at 23/24 again for some reason.. (getting both server fulls and kicked:reserved slot)"
Now, that I try again I'm getting mixed results also. I got a kicked for reserve slot and then connected fine at 23/24.

Meh, I find medic perfectly enjoyable to play. I mean, I don't see how they could realistically make it "more fun" to play while retaining it's main function - healing. The problem isn't the way the class is played, it's that most people would rather blow the fuck out of the enemy rather than heal their teammates.
I hope to God that they don't try to hybridize the class into some damage slash healing class. I don't play the medic to be a wanna-be damage dealer with shitty healing capacity. If any changes come to the medic I hope they're entirely healing related. I mean, I could think of more interesting ways to deliver health to teammates, and I want just that; I play the medic to heal.

I wonder if anyone's working on a mod to add grenades to all the classes... and I kind of wonder what grenades they would add, anyway. honestly I wouldn't want the TFC grenades for the same classes in TF2, but it'd be fun to give each class grenades based upon how they play in TF2 compared to TFC. Or for Valve to give each class some kind of "special" similar to the mouse2 stuff for heavy/medic/spy/demo.
not that I really want to mess with TF2's base gameplay; I just kind of wonder what Valve would come up with/what a modder would do if they wanted to add something to the gameplay.

Castle is ok. But the problem is that most people don't want to play custom map, good or bad. Let's say you are playing Well with 24 people. Then Well is over and Castle is next. About 10 people will stay on the server to play Castle and nobody will join. It happened to me everytime in the last 2 weeks (twice yesterday).
And yeah, kill Horus please.
It makes me feel like an asshole. D:Jacobi said:
Haha, I hate Warpath. d: It's not so bad when someone actually wins (in fact, it's then enjoyable... much like 2fort), but most of the time I play that map, it's a stalemate in the middle for waaaay toooo loooong.Firestorm said:
I find it's a good kind of stalemate. It takes a while, but someone usually gets through after a good uber or two. If there's at least two medics per team and a couple of good engineers keeping their teleporters up, it's a great map. Epic pushes.
I played a match of 2fort yesterday with pretty even teams and oh my god. We were stuck at 1 cap each for so long I just had to quit in the end since it was mind-numbing.

I'm working on killing all map votes entirely. And if it somehow works.. auto ban.
Also..
Original Story: Two new maps for Valve's Team Fortress 2 will hopefully arrive within the next two months, the studio has informed Shacknews.
One of the new arenas is a remake of Team Fortress Classic's Badlands map, with an emphasis on more vertically-oriented gameplay due to the presence of control points on towering spires.
"Our estimate is that both these maps should be out within the next 2 months," Valve employee Robin Walker told Shacknews. "We expect to ship other new content before that."
That other content includes the forthcoming Medic achievement pack, which will add several new achievements for the Medic as well as a significant gameplay tweak for the class.
"It's a large scale modification to the core of the game," Walker hinted. "It'll debut in a limited fashion through the Medic first, but it'll be affecting all classes eventually."
"We're really looking forward to the community reaction," he continued. "We're really excited about where TF2 will be going over the next year."

Icy, to be honest, map votes are pretty important. When Java, nob, whoever is not there to change the map, then it is useful to have the map vote option.
And speaking of that, referring back to three or so weeks ago when you asked for another person to help out administrating the server, you picked a couple of new admins. First off, Richard is a great guy and good player, but he has been busy lately and rarely on. Vulture I saw on this past week but still not as often as need be. Java and n0b have been on pretty much daily. Perhaps you should look into who is on regularly to help out...?

Did that and everytime I make someone an admin, something comes up with them. So. thats a done idea. Or people abuse.
As for map votes. People are getting anooyed with how a map finally comes on and is almost instantly map voted off and back onto something else. ie Dustbowl.. and it happens alot. So Its going away. Play whats on the rotation, or not at all.

Isn't the Nintendo thing if you do like it you're an idiot?TheOneGuy said:

I've always associated it more as they can get away with a severely limited library, because they feel they offer everything the player needs. Their unofficial motto is: Forget what you think you want, take what were giving you... cause we're smarter than you and we know your needs.
I like Nintendo, but it's always infuriated me how that arrogance left huge wholes in the lineup.
Sorry for the little Nintendo detour. Although it'll be funny if Icy does start auto-banning anyone who votes for a map change. Server calls a vote. Everyone votes and bam... 5 players are left after the carnage.
EDIT: Just read your quote and my "definition." So I guess you are an idiot if you like it. But I doubt that's their interpretation. They would consider it wise.
Sometimes I forget you're one of the crazy Brawl dudes, haha. You people scare the shit out of me. FYI.Firestorm said:
EDIT: Ugh I keep checking and every time I do, the server's at 23/24. If it's not, by the time I start up the game, it's reached that number. ): I don't mind reserved slots by themselves, but goddamnit I hate not being able to Auto-Join.

That badlands map is similar in concept to an idea I had for a map a while back, although my idea was really different in layout the concept is similar.
New Update
Added new option for medigun beam to the Multiplayer->Advanced dialog. If on, the medigun beam will stay attached to the current target without the need to hold down the fire button
Added new option for the sniper rifle to the Multiplayer->Advanced dialog. If disabled, the sniper rifle won't re-zoom after firing a zoomed shot
Added "nextlevel" server cvar. If set to a valid map name, server will change to that map during the next changelevel
Fixed PerfUI being used as a type of wall-hack on servers without sv_cheats set to 1
Reduced Granary spawn advantage for capping the middle point
Fixed players turning into "Scout" model after lagouts (and a variety of related issues, such as disappearing doors)
Fixed obscure crash related to resolution changing

the bonesaw is so much fun, most people see an easy kill when they spot a lone medic, so i just run around the corner and pull out my bonesaw and rip their face up. same thing with snipers. i'm gonna take a wild guess and say i probably got the "Doctor's Certificate" daily award today. :lol
e: oh and charging right into a pyro's face and get a melee crit is pretty wonderful too, survived a couple if times even though i was at 40 health thanks to nearby health kits.
