Steam Duex

[Aerozord]

Are people willing to chip in on renting one? if so I'll run it assuming there isn't someone more qualified to do so

[EVILNess]

Where would one find prices?

[Rokrin]

Probably just shop around google.

The good news is that once my friend moves into his place, I'll swindle him into letting me set up my server. I have the OS all ready, it's just that I want quality internet and his is gonna be way better than mine.

Eh, I'm out if we're buying a server. Mauve dislikes spending monies if she doesn't have to.

A generously dedicated and free server would run the number of people we would ever possibly have playing anyway. On top of that, there's always the oodles of empty or near-empty servers just sitting on Steam. No reason to buy a server ourselves, unless we're all about to slap [NPF] tags on our names too, and get all serious-like.

But if people don't wanna jerk around with downloadings then I'm cool with that. I actually like Badwater mainly because it doesn't get used much, plus it doesn't have that like, one retarded super-chokepoint that Gold Rush does.

Hit me up with a PM or something, I need the IP to this magical land of variety. The server I normally play on has idiots who demand Gravel Pit every other map and I'm pretty fucking sick of it all.

Just FYI, I don't leave Steam on unless I am using it. Other people seem to leave it on all the time. So even though you might tab over to it or sign in and not see me online as much as others, I am still down for events and can be pestered in relation to doing stuff for the Steam group as needed.



I miss playing gun game. Maybe I'll do that some tonight.

If people love 2Fort (and come on who doesn't love 2Fort!) I know a server that's always empty with a playermax of 14, which runs 2Fort 24/7. It might get dull quick but it's at least a start, plus if this is only gonna be a weekly thing it wouldn't be as bad.

speaking of which, there's been an update tonight:

The Engineer's teleporters can now be upgraded to level three. It will recharge faster the higher level it is

The Engineer's dispensers can now be upgraded to level three. It will give out metal and heal faster as it is upgraded

Spies will be able to recharge their cloaking ability by picking up ammo off of the ground or from health cabinets

Some changes to the second part of the first stage of Goldrush to give the attackers more of an advantage

Any weapons that fire bullets (shotguns, sniper's machine gun, heavy's minigun, etc.) can now break apart the Demoman's stickybombs

The icon on the HUD for a person calling for Medic will now give more information to the medic (if the target is low on health, on fire, etc.)

Added an achievement tracker that will allow people to choose specific achievements that they are trying to get

There is now a custom icon for death messages when the player was killed from a critical hit

Added a new particle effect for when a player enters the water

Added smoke to the feet of a rocket jumping soldier

Players will now have some particles swirling around them so other players can see when they are overhealed

Since it says there are like 8 people on in the group I am gonna scope out an empty server and set up a group event on steam.

EDIT: As soon as my TF2 updates.
