  • Sometimes it can feel difficult to successfully play the online multiple player video game because there are more virtual trading servers than suitable battle arenas.
    But no, really, it's gotten a lot worse. So on a more serious note, build resources.

    First time I saw those bots that appear to be real people on the scoreboard, it really freaked me out. I really thought I had joined a server with 23 people, none of whom had managed in six years to obtain a single hat or misc, and all of whom run backwards and stare at you. Bots are fuckin creepy man.

    I love TF2's quickplay.
    "Searching for best available server"
    Over 700 servers meeting criteria
    Sends me to a map with few players, a server that I can't join, a server with maxed out player slots, or usually to a server I _just_ disconnected from. Nice. Great job Valve. Maybe we could improve this in one of the game's 547 updates, but we'll probably just buff the phlog again.

      True, once in a blue moon, the players align and the most intense matches in existence happen.

    • @SadButter

      @jamesstaton3265 9 років тому +13

      RandomGuy1994 Last week, I was a Medic on KotH_Badlands.
      The best player on the entire server was a completely stock Pyro.
      Their only cosmetic was the Primeval Warrior badge.
      The were my pocket and did a damn good job of it.

    • @SadButter
      @SadButter 9 років тому +15

      James Staton Well, primeval warrior is a pretty good sign of skill as well.
      Now don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those people who think hats equals skill. However, I'm still saying that cosmetic items speak volumes of their wearer's hours spent in the game, depending how much money they've spent in the Mann Co. store and the community market.

      I had an amazing match on Frontier once. I was on RED, and one of the guys on BLU was being a huge a**hole, so when the cart was almost at the end, you can imagine how intense it got for me trying to beat this guy. So I played as Demoman, and completely dominated the entire BLU team before they could win. It was so satisfying. :) So yeah, Valve servers can be really good.

    Skial doesn't like it though, they'll warn you that you're the first in line to get kicked if someone has a reserved spot. But then again, I've never, ever been kicked and I don't know if anyone actually reserves spots.

      There is honestly nothing wrong with Skial servers, their ads are very short and easily ignored if you disable HTML, there's never any fake-client bots, no premium buffs besides reserved slots (never an issue), and allows you to set your team preference incase of a scramble.

      Aickavon the Techpriest most skial servers fit the description you gave. the others actually are rather fond of banning people because, well why not, right? Also, they're full of people tryharding so much that if you make one mistake half your team is yelling at you for "destroying their chances of winning" and the other team is taunting you in chat.

    • @aickavon
      @aickavon 9 років тому +6

      Tom Jackal well there are three types of admins. The admins who are actually good and pay attention and give reasonable bans and punishments to players who are breaking the rules (spawn camping, hacking, or verbal abuse/spamming).
      There are admins that aren't good or bad, they tend to be shy about making any decision and try to 'investigate' before doing anything, these admins usually really need to be pushed in order to ban, but at least you won't get an unexpected ban from them.
      Then there are admins who will ban and ruin fun. Y'know, the admins that go into a hard game that's being fought fair and square, and start using administrative powers to kill everyone without any levels of fun for either side (if I'm dying or not getting any kills, my funness level drops no matter what team I'm on). These admins may not always use admin powers to win but they are known to ban people based on the assumption that they are hacking (which pretty much means, if you're good at the game, you're gone, this is particularly heavy on pyros who know how to airblast, and snipers who can manage the difficult task of point and click.)
      These three admins are on every server group, skial is no exception to this... the problem isn't skial itself it's just... people. Things happen and skial is so big that unless a collective people report and complain to skial's owners and not youtube, then skial can't really do anything that they are not aware of.
      However, I have found that skial... tends to be very minimum on admin abuse (in comparison to others) I understand that it's not perfect, but it's by far one of the better options compared to say... ANY SERVER WITH BOTS

    • @tomjackal5708
      @tomjackal5708 9 років тому

      But then there's Valve servers, which I've described, where the only bans are VAC bans, which are usually pretty accurate; they never ban someone who isn't hacking, but you might see one or two hackers on Valve servers a year, if you're playing every day.

      No because people would spam that everywhere on the normal servers like the scramble teams option.
      They should make just a few servers (like maybe 15-20 that host 24 players) and see how it goes.
      Most of my friends including myself ONLY play instant respawn. Because let's face it; nobody wants to waste their real life waiting around for shit to happen :P

(cp_process is top notch for valve's lineup)

    We all laughed at the bad community maps back then... then matchmaking happened. Who's laughing now...
    Nobody... it is sad day...
    I miss populated community maps and the standard Valve server format, matchmaking really killed the spirit of TF2 honestly.
    And now we have bots flooding matchmaking anyways soooo did anything really change for the better?

    The worst part, is when you're stuck watching dumb ads, taking forever to finish and get kicked for idling.
    TF2, why?

    3:47 This has to be my favorite moment of your videos.
    "People on this server!? This is crazy!
    It's like they all came here to play with SHTARR! OHMYGEERH-"

    I mostly just go to one of a couple of different pony servers. They have fairly good players, no ads, and the best part: a JUKEBOX!
    Love me that jukebox. The Ponyfortress2 servers won me over with that feature.

    The only problem with Valve servers is that there's a good chance of a hacker on there and there's nothing anyone can really do about it if they have a plugin that changes their name every five seconds. And I don't mean aimbotting, I pretty much mean 2 Fast 2 Furious Heavies, which might actually be one of the most hilarious things to see.

    The sad part is this video is pretty much what a lot of tf2 has become now which can get pretty annoying having to spend 20 minutes to find a server then if just being filled with bots or an ad which is another one of those things that piss me off why should all these servers gain revenue on there servers for playing ads when valve servers don't?! It's just really frustrating to see what tf2 has come to.

      I know exactly where you are coming from, those servers that play those ads end up lagging my game really high degree, or I get into a server with random plugins when I just want a normal match, or it's one of those premium servers, or its filled with nothing but bots, or it's completely empty. Sorry if my grammar made you cringe, but yeah, this is a very terrible issue.

      This was before Valve added search filters in 2014, which had only Valve servers on by default, it's disingenuous to say this was the state of quickplay when it's been improved.

      AQWorlds is different to Adventurequest. Made later, but IMO they shouldn't have bothered making AQW. It's just a 'meet other players' version of Adventurequest.
