  1. All the advice given in this thread are very sensible; we should direct new players here in the future.

     

    Please read this: http://asiafortress.com/index.php/index.html/_/guides/getting-started-in-competitive-tf2-a-complete-r40

    for pugging in asia specifically- its more of an administrative guide.

     

    And this will help too: http://asiafortress.com/index.php/index.html/_/guides/setting-up-and-customisation-r38

     

    A side note regarding rollouts is that there are actually proper techniques that are more important than mindlessly doing them a thousand times expecting to go faster. An example would be the badlands window jump for demos, its important to wait half a second and fall a bit before detonating. Make sure you're practicing the right way, you don't want to pick up bad habits.

     

    About your map knowledge: Don't worry about it as 5cp maps are pretty straightforward and 5cp maps are almost 99% played wrong in pubs so any experience in there doesn't really count either.

     

    Regarding your class choice: Be warned that demos and sollies play very different roles in 6v6 than in pubs. You will find that you're expected to do a lot more (because there are usually no heavies/sentries to stop your aggression) and you actually can do a lot more (because you're only against 5 combat classes not 12) Especially as demo you dying will hurt your team a lot more.

     

    Regarding snipers and spies: nope no luck everyone here still loves them


  2. In my defense, doing dumb things knowingly puts the fun back in TF2 for me and its a lot less stressful and drama-free playing with friends rather than pushing to be the top with some mechanical super-skilled team in a scene that no longer values its "top" players (EDIT: Actually it still kind of does, but I guess I don't really have that same drive back then since I'm enlisting soon). The only thing inconsistent about my play is the contents of my table; sometimes there is a large coke blocking half my screen and I don't really care. I also admit to MGEing lying down/not sober.

     

    Thanks for the great review though, I was actually expecting troll thread. With a new team now I'll definitely be putting a bit more eff- What the fuck do you mean I have an inconsistent personality?


  3. Requesting tips on underclocking HD6970 to make it stable + increase fan speed.

     

    I have no experience outside of nvidia cards so I could use any information you have; program names, benchmarks etc. Willing to dabble in BIOS but prefer applications on the OS layer.


  4. Since we're plagiarising:

     

    "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island in the midst of black seas of infinity and it was not meant that we should voyage far. Some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality that we shall either go mad from the relevation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."

     

     

    Case in point: the last person who wanted to experience many lives ended up baking her head in the oven.

     

    QUIT TF2 WHILE YOU STILL CAN.
