GGs tonight. At least Yeef got no enjoyment when he got kills on me while I was Demoman. :p

And I'm sorry to any medics I randomly jumped away from without warning or whose charges I wasted because I was reloading... should really dig up my mic when playing on the Jank. ^^;

My Gorge replay is corrupt. I don't remember what it was even about.

My Steel and Upward replays are rendering.

P.S. Grimm is a jerk!

It was probably just replays of me killing you over and over again. I don't need to see the replays, I'll just play it over and over in my mind.

why is Cashwork not loading for me :(
just stuck on retrieving server info.

Ever since the server was changed to the prefinal version, I haven't been able to get it to load at all either. It's broken.
 
YUP.
The few rounds I played went as expected....terrible.
Feel bad bout my mistakes especially poor borgnine got stuck with my terribad med skillz a few times.

Not sure what my Jank was about I had a 30 ping and running on average 45+ fps with a few dips...couldnt find the problem, ill look into it some more.


Meh a few more nights and ill suck less (which is the best youll get from me!!!)

The jank comes from the server. It's not called that for no reason.

I never said anything about a laggy medic tonight. I did hear someone else say "that blue medic is laggy" at one point, but I don't remember who it was.

Also, that Gorge match just now was infuriating. It felt like me and alien were the only ones actually pushing. We got off like 2 or 3 ubers and no one ever followed us.

Not good enough, give me items.

Seriously though I didn't even notice. I don't count on medics so any healing I get is just a bonus. You should probably uber someone who you can coordinate over mic with though. Unless it's Kritz Beggar's Bazooka at the spawn door cause that shit is great.

IT WAS YOU!!!

My apologies, thought it was you for some reason.

Regardless Im looking into it today just to double check everything and build up my self esteem a bit on pubs from the beatdowns I took at jank

You are seriously the worst to heal ever....ever. It is like your number one goal is to rocket jump away once I krit you. That's why I love fallengorn twice as much as you.

That's only because Fallengorn doesn't know how to rocket jump (I love how this has become a thing). Also I don't even rocket jump anymore, I'll probably forget how.

This really is the worst thing about soldiers. It's like the overheal triggers some primitive urge of "Hey, now I can rocket jump without repercussion [to myself, that dumb medic is going to die though]".

I take full personal credit for spearheading this movement.

Every soldier should at least learn how to rocket jump off of parallel walls from the ground. You move through the map a hundred times faster and you'll help build uber too, useful for things like moving through a map with 8 control points... We should stage an intervention and play nothing but jump maps on the GAF server for a week.

It'd be cool if everyone learned how to jump then I'd actually have the chance to practice airshots. And even people who don't play Soldier or Demo could benefit from trying out a couple of jump maps just to pick up air strafing so they can better surf explosions and whatnot.

Hop on over to Jujump iT! sometime (TF2Jump.com's beginner server - 74.91.113.66:27015) and try out simpler maps... For both classes, jump_rush is a good starting point. For Soldiers, jump_beef, rj_rckteer, and jump_adventure and for Demos, jump_speed and jump_bob_fixed.

Not parallel walls WITH the ground. I was using "from" as a preposition to indicate where the action was starting (in this case rocket jumping) not as a point of reference to indicate the location of the wall, smarty pants.

But if I rocket jump up and then again against a wall, I only have 1 rocket left.

Go Cow Mangler. If you're going to jump into people's faces anyway, 10% less damage is still going kill them, and maybe leave you with 4 more health.

Then when you have 4 health left and can't jump, you just charge shot from a distance.

I only right click Cow Mangler, sorry. It's part of handicapping myself cause I'm so good.

You don't have to jump up to do a wall jump. You can do a quick horizontal jump off the wall to go faster and charge uber.
If you want height AND distance you can do a vertical jump, then a horizontal wall jump. For example, if I were to rollout to A on Standin I would do a horizontal wall jump through the hallway, then rocket jump up and wall jump onto the point in the open area while raining down rockets..

Rocket jumping is super important and has a myriad of uses. You can rollout to mid faster, you can jump into and out of fights, you can divebomb people, you can charge uber while keeping up with your Medic. Most importantly, GOTTA GO FAST!

I would suggest we start running some basic jump maps on the server and everyone into Soldier try to make it through at least the first two levels of jump_adventure.

On the subject of the server, <3 to Yeef for updating Cashworks and adding Warmfront.

Nah yeef called me out particularly I believe (50-50 shot there were only 2 blue medics). I felt the lag at a couple points but figured it was server end till yeef said something.

Pretty sure that was me on doomsday, and it turns out it wasn't lag. I thought it was until it happened again. When people are standing on the lift and it's going up, the models kind of spaz out like someone with an awful connection and it makes it a nightmare to snipe.

I actually downloaded some jump maps but haven't really dove into them since free time is sparse.

And at this point I just want to fix my connection issues first. Playing with fluctuating ping is rage inducing.
