Anyhow, feedback. My ping's about 20 ms lower, which is good, I guess, and there's been less lag, but there's still some. About midnight tonight (morning) PST on Tempest 1, I was in the single digits FPS-wise at times and I'm typically around 80-200. I checked on another server with 20 people and was sitting at 150, so it was only that server. That hasn't happened before, though.

Changes? Maybe sudden death on Hydro? For two cycles on hydro (about 1.5 hours, I guess), I don't think any team managed to capture a single point. I know people don't like it much, but at least it'd cut down on the turtle-fest the map turns into when 30 people are online.

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but Tempest 1 doesn't appear to have either ctf_Turbine or cp_Fastlane, yet both are listed on the Server Information topic here. On that note, the IP addresses are incorrect on that topic now, too.

At least Tempests 1-3 are pretty active and I'm seeing players on 1 or 3 around 5:00 PM on the east coast, which I like.

Overall, though, it's definitely a big improvement. Thanks, WDF and Sirus.

Is anybody not on the left coast getting timed out of the servers?  I go through periods where I time out and can't see any of the servers for a few minutes...I can connect to any other server...just not the tempests.

 

hell yeah

They're running great, but there's so many of them!

I hope they're doing things other than hosting TF2, else the majority of them just sit there racking up hosting costs.

I always lked sudden death. Personally, that was the best part of any CP map for me. It was a chance to outsmart the other team, but while watching your own back very carefully. I vote put it on at least on hydro, if not all CP maps.

I already mentioned this to Whut, but there is a 0 in front of all the announcements.

Quake sounds are a must, we should get those back up (also source radio).

I think the kick time for inactivity should be a little shorter, it seems like it takes around 5 minutes. I could be wrong on this one.

MOTD screen: the picture is not big enough on my screen, so it goes into the upper left hand corner, the rest of the screen is that ugly purple / black checkerboard. It would be really cool for the MOTD on all the servers to have a link to our abuse report forums, then have a recurring announcement message tell people that they can type in motd and report jackasses. This could work with CSS and The tempests, I don't know if DOD or eternal silence works with that.

 

Nevermind! Them fuckers are full. Go Tempest!

good point
