[hlds] Can we have a Quickplay Status report, please?

2014-05-30 Thread Jason Tango
Dear TF2 team, Would it be possible for you to communicate a status as to if/when the quickplay changes you made four months ago will be reverted to allow all community servers to be included in quickplay again by default? Fletcher Dunn had stated when this change was made that it would be

I'd like to add to Jason's comments that the performance of the Valve provided servers is significantly degraded when compared to well-run community servers. Now it is difficult to find a server with good performance on anything but a handful of overplayed maps (2fort, dustbowl, turbine,

Equally as bad is the way this is killing the mapping community of TF2. Community servers used to host custom maps a lot more, but thanks to quick play that has caused a complete flip. Now it's hard to find a server willing to host. At this point why should mappers even concern themselves with

Let's not go the way of throwing out insults towards the TF2 team. There's no doubt that - while certainly a mistake - they initially made the change to get rid of the nefarious server operators that were both screwing it up for the players AND those of us who didn't try to turn TF2 into a money
