Castaway is having some gay drama RN with EU players leaving to make their own servers after Castaway jannies disabled shit like VC and votekick and drove away any prospect of player retention.

What even happened with the "2014 vanilla" goal? Theres the quake 3 announcer clips, annoying messaged everytime i respawn about reverts, and non vanilla maps. I just want pre 2016 vanilla.

I think the quake voice plugin is just for the anniversary week event. After that, it's supposed to be back to normal.

Disabling cross chat was the worst thing to ever happen to TF2.

When you used to be able to talk shit it was magical.

me personally i never liked cross chat because i would rather speak with my teammates about the actual match than the entire server about whatever because most of the community are faggots and thats what happens when you have cross on,

The gay splinter servers in question are Novemen. I haven't heard of VC being disabled but votekick has been disabled in the past allegedly due to EU players constantly votekicking players left and right, of which goes against the free nature that random wants from Castaway (same said nature which allows loliniggers because libertarian freeze peach).

The announcer and non-vanilla maps are apart of the 1 year anniversary celebration they're holding from June 12 to June 19. And I don't know what to tell you about the reverts nigga, I like my Heavy reverts that make him actually fun again that Valve stripped away from him 2014 onwards.

I've only played on the EU servers once (bad ping on my end) and I thought the EU players were pretty retarded, a little too many sharty tards for my liking.

US is better coz Gabber is funny as fuck

Dont hate the reverts, just hate how every respawn green slabs of shit are put in text chat. The single sentence showing the command is leagues more tasteful.

VALVE JUST ANNOUCED A MvM UPDATE.
Thirteen years ago, we launched Mann vs. Machine, a chilling cautionary tale where an artificial consciousness tried to take all our jobs. You didn't know it back then, but that was actually a literary device called "speculative" fiction, where writers (us) accurately predict the future (the present), but then hide it so as not to cause widespread panic.


In an effort to keep panic levels low, and apropos of nothing, we'd like to tell you a story: Once upon a time, a Mann vs. Machine mode in a video game was getting a much-needed update. And so a brave blog post writer (us again) asked the community to submit Mann vs. Machine maps and missions in time for that update. (For the sake of this panic-reducing speculative fantasy, let's put the fictional deadline at Wednesday, August 27th).


If that was the entire story, you'd already be at a low panic level but vaguely concerned about a looming dystopian future (mission accomplished). But as is traditional in the genre of speculative blog fiction, there's more! The king of the fictional land where this all happened (ancient Greece), decreed on stone tablets that even though the update was dropping right around the ancient Greek candy-harvest festival of Halloween, the maps did not need to all be Halloween-themed (first tablet) and in fact shouldn't be (second tablet).


"Though some of them COULD be," the king carved into a third tablet, held in the stone hands of a statue... of PRIMATE GEORGE WASHINGTON? No! It's just regular George Washington in a dystopian future past where our sculptors are NOT AS GOOD AS IN ANCIENT GREECE! What an ending! (The end.)


Is this tale a simple flight of gripping, well-written fancy? (No.) Or a chilling glimpse into a future that could arrive as soon as, again, Wednesday, August 27th with a second part arriving right before Halloween? (Yes, see paragraph one.)

The announcement is asking for the community to create maps (deadline 27th August, releasing around Halloween), so we're probably not going to see any new items. Someone at Valve is probably just nostalgic for 2012.

Hoping they make some balance changes to various weapons and upgrades, but knowing nu-Valve they won't bother changing anything. FFS they released the launch gas passer without even testing it to see what problems arise from letting it charge itself.

I think it's likely, what else has that contractor been doing lately? They're still working at Valve aren't they?

I have never seen someone using the gas passer in such a way that kicking them would affect the mission outcome. It's a weapon literally designed to killsteal (because it only activates when your teammates shoot at robots covered in it, which means they're already being shot at, which means they'll already die soon).

The main game's weapons have had like 0 change (apart from some bug fixes, I think), so I dunno if whoever is at it wants to/is allowed to.
