Icy said:Hello All!
Here are the 2 Official NeoGAF TF2 Servers. One for the US and one for the EU peeps. These are both new IP addresses. I'll explain at the bottom of this post.
The original US server put up was on the Windows server code. Performance sucked. I had them move us to a Linux server once it was available. People were noticing "jitter" issues. I kept playing with the config and moving it from multiple boxes. Same issue. From talking to other Source Ded. Server hosters, we determined it must be the data center. So I moved it from the NYC/NJ Data center to one in Saint Louis, MO. Played with the config some and no "jitter" issues that i have seem. People on the west coast get better pings now.
I got a EU server put up in London, then i found out it was the windows server. I had them switch it to Linux and setup both boxes with the exact same config. Both running solid and smooth. If there's any issues or questions, or suggestions.. don't hesitate to msg me on steam or on neogaf =)
Thanks dude, I'll probably play later today. (NA Server)

Awesome thanks! What is the map rotation? And any chance of lowering the spawn time to 5 secs?

cheers for the avatars Rlan. I've taken the one of my most played class, by far.
thanks for the servers too icy. Will try and get on it as much as possible (UK one).

There's some people on the Source DS mailing lists, asking for some changes. Right now class limits, repsawn timers, etc are not touchable. Also no matter what map rotation or map you remove from the rotation.. it always goes the same rotation and same maps. Ignores it completely.
All server side mods are broke with the new server code. Its basically Source 2.0, or 2.5 as you would call it. So once more of the tracking and admin mods come out.. I'll be able to assign admins.
As for weekday organized play, I was thinking of
a schedule of
Monday / Wednesday / Friday @ 10pm
Tuesday / Thursday @ 9pm

Depends on the class. Scouts most definitely. Soldiers I think take two hits. A Heavy... not sure.140.85 said:

Hmm... maybe he got a critical hit on you then?

Sounds good, look forward to hopping on GAF server tonight.
Yeah, but that's not the Demoman's fault. Blame your shitty team for letting one stand right outside the respawn uncontested.140.85 said:
Demoman is in the DEFENSE tree. He doesn't get a ton of health (175) (less than a Soldier (200) IIRC) so he's fairly fragile. The character type is designed to make a lot of noise and hold an area. It just so happens that some folks are pretty handy with making longer range shots on an arc and/or setting good sticky bomb traps. You've always got that time when he has to reload where he's vulnerable, and that's after the fourth shot for those of you who don't know the loadouts.
I like him because I love lobbing shots on an arc and bouncing things off the walls. I have done this since Quake. I was finding the Soldier's rockets too slow to be accurate at range so I switched to Demo for damage dealing and I've been having a blast. Last night I took out about five guys in Sudden Death on the GAF server with well placed shots and a nice trap. If those guys had simply stayed back and made us come to them, it probably would've been a different story.
gravelpit is the only map I've played where demo can be really OP on defense, and it's just the spawn camping they can do.
And I've totally resigned myself to never being a good spy. I just suck at it too much. The best I ever did was sneaking through, disguising as engineer, and sapping like 5 buildings this team had build right outside the spawn. I absolutely suck at backstabs.

Still can't get into any servers whatsoever, ever.
Freezes on 'Sending client info...' for 10+ minutes before booting me back to the server list, or gets into the game for about two seconds and then freezes before booting me back to the server list.
Every single time.

Is that a 3 point CP map? Looks pretty cool. I am really digging the CP mode lately.
this game is awesome! i had fun playing last night with you guys.
thanks for the server change Icy. too bad i was getting INSANE ping on the NY server, but im sure the trade off will be worth it. the jittering was a bit nasty.
i suck as a spy too and i hate getting backstabbed.
i did see several of the funniest backstab kills last night though.
one was when only area C was left to attack defend on Gravelpit. i was running towards the tower and all of a sudden two screaming bodies come flying off of the top deck towards me. it looked and sounded hilarous. :lol wish i had a video.
the next was when i was going as medic healing a Heavy. i got back stabbed and then caught the perfect pic of the guy who gutted me going after my heavy with his knife out (right behind him, he got the kill too. who was that again? :lol ). i need to upload that pic when i get home tonight.
im less than impressed with 2fort as well. sentry guns just rip me to shreds if i can even make it over to the enemy base. its needs really good teamwork to get anything going, but its so chaotic. those games seem to last forever... i prefer the other maps to it so far.
and i allready tried out lazytown briefly last night. its a very simple map. i cant tell if its going to be any fun yet. we'll see soon hopefully.

Tried popping onto the EU server (in US - 125 ping), but it was a mess trying to play. Are EU peeps getting a good experience on Icy's server? Maybe TF2 just handles latency worse than most games. I try to play on servers with 50 or less, but I've played with 125 pings that were a TON smoother than that.
Yeah. I had to download a TF2 update before logging in. And while Icy's server had 19 playing when I launched, it was down to 7 players when I finally joined. Maybe that's not a coincidence.
