  1. ***This post represents my opinions and mine alone. I do not speak on behalf of AF*** In my view, offclassing is a situationally valid strategy. In a time where Valve has expressed interest and is trying to push 9's into the competitive community scene because of its diverse use of classes, and Valve also stating that 6's may be a bit stale to watch, I don't know why we should lock or limit ourselves into a fuckin narrower strategy pool by disallowing off-classing. I've begun to use ETF2L's newest unlocks in my pug servers (more pyro unlocks etc) and it looks like pyro could be used as a viable class now. It's always good to mix up shit instead of having the same stale standard 2 solly 2 scout 1 medic 1 demo. So.. all the current whining I see about 'offclassing' in the AF pug svrs is more of a 'player skill' issue from the complainer than a server issue. You have problems with the offclasser? Work together with your team and rape his ass with teamwork and skill. More often than not, offclassing is a negative setback to his own team, so learn to exploit that to your advantage and sooner or later, he'll be forced to switch to a standard class. If there's a problem of a troll offclasser or stubborn sniper offclassers (I know some of you would like to see these ppl named and shamed publicly), get all the players in your team and the other team to be vocal about it maybe instead of being non-confrontational? Doing this approach would be much better in the long term since all the players will see how much of a scumbag/douchebag the offclasser is, and if an admin ever kicks/bans him, that will be double the humiliation on him. With the above being said, you'd have to learn to spot the difference between a really casual pug and a 'normal' one I suppose. If someone wanted to experiment tactics or whatever by offclassing for a whole pug and warning his team in advance about what he's gonna try, he is free to do so, isn't he?
  2. +1 bump. Seriously guys, get your shit sorted and add him on Friends and get your lessons. Don't miss out on rare opportunities like this, don't procrastinate and hope to get mentors the next time around (whenever that is). Step forward and let k1infran help you.
  3. Hi Sakiisa, my information is not incorrect . OP has stated he is NOT getting a 120 hz monitor anytime soon (idk why he had to mention that in the first place anyway). Therefore I have recommended 75hz which most monitor panels should be able to handle these days. Also, the 'Preferred refresh rate' in control panel is by default set to 'Application-controlled' hence why I mentioned -freq and -refresh in my initial post. blurr, also make sure you've got Vertical Sync turned to 'Force off'.

    http://asiafortress.mooo.com/sb/index.php?p=banlist&advSearch=STEAM_0:1:41061984&advType=steamid&Submit Looks like natapon banned you for leaving during a roll about 3 weeks ago.... Can I ask why you didn't protest your ban sooner?
  10. Cheaters are permabanned now and forever. Looking at his past posts, I doubt he will show any remorse for his actions so get ready for a slew of aliasing f2p accounts.
  11. Follow the steps in this guide. http://mitchribar.com/2013/02/how-to-stop-youtube-sucking-windows-guide/
  12. In order to preserve and not tarnish the name, reputation and all the hard work nata and his crew have been putting through for AF, to throw some light into server admin transparency and finally to quell some rumors about admin abuse, I'll briefly write out my side of things for the past few weeks and why I've taken certain actions as far as AF pug servers are concerned so maybe the pug community can actually have a positive atmosphere moving forward (fingers crossed). Starting with names: 1. Pizzawow: this guy has had it coming for a long while now. Not counting the fact that he wants to play with 300 ms and STILL offclasses like a motherfucker, he's even spoiled SCRIM matches that he himself painstakingly organized in the first place by offclassing and doing retarded stuff (ask Jr or others for more info). If after all this he wants to make random comments and talk shit in the pug svrs, sure it's free speech but when you've already got a shit history, don't expect the veterans to take it lightly anymore. What led to his ban? All the players were bantering in gullywash warmup as we were waiting for players, We finally get players and get the match started, pizzawow can't roll to spec cuz of his ping, but still feels the need to whine about it every 5 min and ask teammates to swap classes with him (we all know how that's gonna go). Then when we can't protect his ass (cuz of his 300 ms lag) or he runs off healing other players and not his pocket, he decides to make off-hand remarks such as "dis player", "dis playerX", "dis playerY" and at this point becomes ridiculous. Then he decides to make some light racist comments at me. Pretty sure I can take any sort of fucking joke including extremely racist ones but I sure as hell ain't going to accept it from this guy who's already been testing people's ire for a long while now. The actions leading up to the ban went like this him: "spammah camel" me: "stfu" him: "spammah camel xD" me: "say it one more time etc" him: "sandman" me: *ban* The ban has been agreed and approved and at the behest of nata, I lowered the ban time to 1 month. Pizza, you just have no idea how much the guys who make AF possible show mercy and leniency on the 'pug trolls', hopefully someday you will.. 2. color.io aka lime: I was the person who banned you for 3 days over the weekend for leaving without getting a sub at a time when the server only had 12/20 players. You kinda killed the pug.. 3. Omega-synthetic: You're part of the new gen kids/players who thinks the pug servers are glorified pub servers where you can screw around, offclass a lot, go afk for small amounts of time during the game, burdening your team so bad either they have to hard carry you or get demolished 0-5. You don't even seem to want to try to get better clearly indicating you do not care ONE bit about the other 11 players in the server who are putting their effort and energy to accomplish something everyday in a competitive environment... That's why I can't look at you at a basic level of respect anymore and currently treat you with contempt. It's not pub fortress 2. 4. Rhapsody: ^ refer to omega 5. VGNSH viggi: ^ refer to omega 6. KRitz Brzrkr: ^ refer to omega, and srsly, are you unable to work something out with your parents so you can play ONE full 30 minute pug game? 7. r4wr: he typed !sub in a 12/20 server, no one was available to !replace, so he /quit so i banned him for a week. another player connected to the server a few minutes later and said r4wr asked him to join the server to sub him. so i removed the ban. 8. caroline: i don't know who this dude is but we were bantering a bit in some random csgo server until he started going over the top with some mean spirited curses and i ignored him. when we were paired up in the same team in tf2, he decided to continue his retarded shit until i told him to stfu. he went on again and i booted his ass out of the server. Maybe know and understand your limits before you do such things next time. I'm not one of your singaporean azn friends that's gonna keep quiet and take your lame shit(l2joke) silently. Don't push someone who's done absolutely nothing to you. 9. Azazel: I regret and apologize for whatever took place with me and Azazel today. It was completely my mistake and I acted out of pure emotion more than anything. Already spoken to azazel and reaffirmed our love for each other and he can take me from behind anytime. Lastly, there is one regular who made an interesting comment directed to me today. "harm: you kick other people for racism but you're the most racist person in AFL" Because you clearly aren't a racist when it's not convenient to you, right? Almost every racist remark I say is in jest and if someone had a problem with it, I stop immediately. Making racist remarks for the sole intention of hurting ppl while I myself play in an ASIAN server doesn't make sense, does it now? I've honestly never liked you much after seeing you change from a nice guy to some weirdass guy with weird attitude. I'm more than happy to continue this conversation with you when we meet next in the pug svrs or in PM or whatever. Until then, I hope you recall your old personality and how you used to be. Good luck. So that's my side of things. Does this mean that we're implying that the f2p and new gen players are not welcome in the pug servers and should fuck off? NO. In fact all the veterans and regulars invite and encourage all the new players to come in, play, have fun and LEARN. All we ask is that you try to look at things from a good player's perspective and how much effort each individual puts in and you respect his energy/efforts and you work with each other into turning pugs into an enjoyable, learning and friendly fun atmosphere instead of the current state it is in right now. It's ok to suck, nobody cares about that, but being blatantly obtuse and doing your own selfish thing in pug 6s is what gets under most players' skins. Trolling is ok but at least be open and communicative about what you're doing and have a soft limit because different players have different goals in mind.

    Am I mentally ill?

    No. MGE isn't a good training ground for competitive/6's unless you're an already established and proven 6's player (good skill). So you have to adopt two different mindsets for both modes 6's and mge. What MGE helps with is scout class training, aim warmup, keyboard movement warmup and muscle memory. If you take it one step further, you can duel soldiers scouts demos whatever and look at their movement patterns and learn from that, it's especially useful in soldier vs soldier duels and it applies in 6's too. One important thing I keep telling a lot of the 6's players is to freaking aim at the body/chest/head level when they shoot. At no point of time should you be looking downwards at crotch/feet/floor level when you're moving or shooting or whatever you're doing.... The only exception to this golden law of aiming is shooting rockets as a soldier. Lastly, if you want a good mindset for MGE, I suggest you go in with the mentality of trying to not miss every shot and trying to avoid every rocket/shot/pipe whatever, and work your way from there, and remember that it's okay to fail and try again.

    Am I mentally ill?

    Use two different mindsets, one for mge, one for pugs/scrims. As simple as that.... Both platforms have one thing in common though; skill. Improve your skills (aim and movement) as much as you can.

    OGM Ultimate Duo Rumble.

    Wow bo5 final is seriously way too long. I suggest you re-think the grand finals to bo3.

    OGM Ultimate Duo Rumble.

    Sounds good man. If you need any volunteers or help from the asiafortress staff, just ask and they'll do what they can! I really hope you get this organized and broadcasted in a stream with some fun commentary. Get local casters involved.
  19. As some of you may have noticed, we as regulars have been seeing an increase in the number of new players in the pug servers. I think this is a great thing for the scene and we need to cultivate patience and understanding when working with these new faces and be less ragey. So to the old and new alike, please chill the fuck out and learn to be more tolerant even if it means having to endure more imbalanced pugs. If you're unable to accept mistakes and failures then you've probably burnt out playing tons of pugs, there's nothing wrong with taking a break for a day or two. This next part is good. There will be some new server plugin additions (discussed last night in mumble with natapon, fuzz, madman, xoom etc) that we think will greatly help with server activity and individual skills across the board. Stay tuned for more info. This brings me to the next topic in mind, metagame improvements. Slightly improving the level of pugs without being overbearing over the old and new players. What I've personally seen and proven happening is, having voicecomms forces everyone to work together to play better as a team and motivates players to improve skill in general. The problem with using in-game voice comms = very spammy or messy and it completely drowns out ingame sound being annoying. Maybe we should all try working with the voice_overdrive cvar (lower value = less drowning out) ? Or, we as a community could enforce the Mumble rule again since it has historically proven to work and brought a lot of new faces that stay put in the scene. What do you guys think? Enforce mumble rule or just keep it at Highly Recommended status? Lastly, website and forums, the website could do with a background poster change from the current snakewater one. Do you guys have any really good art that you want to see promoted in the background? It has to be one static image though. For the forums, nata and co, is it possible to have big shiny icons made for the forum sections? News and events would have a newspaper icon, Media would have a big ass movie icon etc.
  20. So a few updates: 1. There is now a 'welcome' message box with some additional text information about mumble in the asiafortress servers. 2. The asiafortress servers are now integrated with sizzlingstats so players can view their stats in real time or after the game by typing .ss in public chat. Example of an asiafortress pug with ss stats - http://sizzlingstats.com/stats/4369 3. All old and new players are encouraged to come to the Asiafortress lounge channel in mumble to use when pugging or fuck around or create separate sub channels - whatever you prefer. 4. There is another cool server plugin being written, more info will be revealed when it's done. 5. A new website is in the works. I can't say much more other than the fact that you'll see it when it's done.

    vods with commentaries

    So bran, many of the guys including admins have been quite anxious on your project since they're also working on a new media section. Are you still keen on doing this?
  22. OK, natapon and cumeron and fuzz and others? Can we have some clarification and updates on the upcoming changes?
  23. spammah

    no servers?!

    The servers are up. Try re-adding them again maybe?
