There is a new quickplay category, featured, that represents the featured maps for a given campaign. In order to have your server in this category, you need to be running the mapcycle mapcycle_featured_maps.txt, and have the special string 'featured' in your quickplay tags. Today's update also introduces contracts, which currently require players be on official servers to complete. Unfortunately, our current setup makes it very difficult to restrict features like this other than in an all-or-nothing manner, and we determined this was necessary to protect the system from immediate abuse. We agree this is not ideal. We are continuing the look at the situation with community servers and how we can better support passionate communities, but currently have nothing to announce. - JohnS ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds

I've been attacked one time ever, and it was because I banned a couple of trolls. -Dill Sent from my iPhone On Feb 26, 2014, at 10:57 AM, 1nsane 1nsane...@gmail.com wrote: I've never had an attack stop immediately after shutting down the server being attacked.

Re: [hlds] Mediated Discussion about Quick play change
I'm seeing more scrubs on my servers now that qucikplay has been banned. Explain that! -Dill On Jan 26, 2014, at 1:05 PM, ics i...@ics-base.net wrote: Scoring system and quickplay forced rules go hand in hand but players experience seems to be low due to what the community servers run on them. Namely, gameplay modifying mods. They are not forbidden in quickplay rules because Valve cannot effectively maintain and guard all the community servers. So they implemented a change that we see now (which really SUCKS against people like me who run servers and no mods that affect gameplay in any way. Not even advertisements or other crap.) -ics Supreet kirjoitti: I think the scoring system is actually pretty great - it's more so about the ping rather than the server score. I mean its pretty obvious they won't send players from China to North American servers. So having a high score really shouldn't relate to the server but the connection as the connection is the basis for all multiplayer gameplay. I have a suggestion/recommendation for everyone that I can personally vouch for. I've had multiple providers for my community's servers and I have had two providers (second one is the current one) that have a link up with Level3. You would be surprised at how much international traffic I get on a server hosted out in Philly. They have great ping. One of the secret ingredients to better quick play traffic is ISPs your provider has. Do some research, most providers do not provide Level3. NFO servers being the largest one doesn't have hook ups with Level3. This is why if you buy a cheap VPS, it can actually have a big impact on your quick play traffic. It doesn't matter if your server is in Chicago - the providers ISPs matter. I host my server in Philly with a provider that has Level3, Comcast, Zayo/AboveNet. I have quick play traffic from Europe, and east Asia who no-doubt have higher than normal ping, but never complain of lag. So I hope that helps people, be very very picky about who you host from. It actually affects quick play traffic. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released
I've never used quickplay to find a game ever. On Jan 24, 2014, at 7:32 AM, 1nsane 1nsane...@gmail.com wrote: Unfortunately valve doesn't really need us anymore. They can't monetize maps or custom game modes. Once quickplay was added with its preference for certain noob friendly maps a number of valve's own maps (and game modes) stopped being played. You'd think they would want more variety so players stick around for longer. Other online FPS games tend to rotate through all their maps. At this point the only important part of the user generated content for them is the item creators as they make the money. But this seems to be shortsighted, like you said custom maps and custom game modes that valve previously loved to take and add officially to their games will now become a rarity. On Fri, Jan 24, 2014 at 6:17 AM, E. Olsen ceo.eol...@gmail.com wrote: Agreed. It's one thing to make such a drastic change, it's another to re-route 40-50% of all TF2 traffic away from every non-valve server on the planet in one fell swoop. If this change stands as-is, there's not a single server operator on the planet that will be able to launch a new vanilla server (or almost any kind of server, for that matter), because unless a server already has a following, it will never be able to build up the momentum when less than half the player base will even be able to find it. Here's the thing, folks: It's been proven time and time again that Mods extend the lifetime of a game (look at what Day Z did last year for Arma 2). The diversity of TF2 is what has kept it going all these yearsyet a change like this actively steers half (or more) of the current playerbase, and probably the vast majority of every new player AWAY from ever finding a custom map, mod, or game mode. If official valve vanilla is all you want - then this change is wonderful for you (and you should have that option), but should this remain the default setting that every client is now set to, Valve has hastened along the death of the very game they are trying to protect. Why would anyone even bother creating a map for TF2 now? How would it ever see any kind of significant traffic? How about custom game modes? We were hosting a King of the Hill server (using custom maps made for that game mode) for over a year BEFORE it became an official game mode with official maps - think anyone will or would be able to throw up a new server or game mode under these conditions? I think we all understand why Valve thinks they had to do this - all the Pinion Profiteers made them think this was necessary - but make no mistake, these were problems that were CREATED by quickplay in the first place, so in one fell swoop, Valve has not only created the problem, but they have used the same system that created it to essentially throw out all the good servers with the bad. Any non-valve server that does not already have a significant amount of regulars will now die on the vineand there won't be any new non-valve servers going up to replace them. It's a shame, folks. This change effectively takes the community out of TF2, and turns it into just another random, casual, anonymous FPS. It's was a rarity already to have a game that was 7+ years old that still had new clans and communities forming around it - but a change like this will make it all but impossible for any new TF2 communities to even get started.

It is just a different model of revenue, one that server owners should be free to choose. Once TF2 became F2P, a larger portion of donation money went to the Mann Co Store instead. It also filled slots full of kids who aren't able to pay anything because if they had any money they would have moved to new games like COD. When a game is brand new, there are plenty of people willing to shell out +100€ on servers and donations without a second thought. But that time is long past for TF2 now. For those who want more than the cheapest servers or colocation, donations aren't enough. If you want to see what a donation only game as old as TF2 looks like, all you have to do is look at COD4. The top servers there are dominated by the cheapest servers. If you are donation only be honest with yourself: - How much are you paying out of your own pocket? Why is it immoral to just break even when modelers used to release free on Gamebanana are now making tens of thousands a month on the Mann Co Store? - Do you really have the best server that can be offered to players? The answer is most undoubtedly no. Even the fastest servers choke on 32 players at times and Valve's own servers couldn't even handle 24 players until they restricted FPS to 66. - How long have you been around? When you first start a community you will get a lot of money, but this does not last as communities like Firepowered have figured out. Most of the people here wouldn't be so excited about killing off ad supported servers if they didn't think they would get more players from it. Really why would you care about ads to the point you are excited about removing functionality from your own servers?
