Can we get the TPG servers to be 13 or 14 man servers so we can allow for easier team switch and spectators?

 

This of course with the stipulation that no one should join a TPG server unless invited or the server is empty.

[WmMoneyFrmMissouri]

Will there be a list of match times once it gets figured out by the teams? I'd like to watch at least some of them. Thanks.

[Elite_is_salty]

Can you persuade the devs to make TPG-2 or TPG-3 ashburn servers? That would be much appreciated.

This, and one should be dallas2 as well.

Probably a negatory on this one.  People join them thoughtlessly fairly frequently, and the password's too well-known.  Will see what we can do with the other private servers, though.

Yeah, I'll update the OP as teams finalize their schedules.

The official TPG servers will remain central given our server selection rules.  I'll ask around and see whether we can't get a player-owned private server shifted onto an Ashburn provider, but no promises, obviously.  I'm not given any special consideration re: requests.

[Elite_is_salty]

Can't the server selection rules change when Dallas servers suck, even for NA players

[Nept]

Not presently.

 

*Edit* Because I know that people will be too lazy to click the link:

 

The default servers for all league matches are the private servers in the US Central region. Any central server for which teams have Admin access is valid for league play*. Opposing captains may agree upon East or West private servers if both teams prefer a specific region. If teams cannot come to an agreement, matches are to be played on TPG's private central servers.

For what it's worth, I'd play a round on east for you Elite.

Nooooooo! Crafty, you forget half our team plays from CA! :<

We are scheduled to play THC on Monday at 10 est.

 

Has killcam been removed for official match servers yet?  I noticed it was still on for the Omni server we played on yesterday.

[Massive_Assailant_Stingray]

Is it not possible to change server passwords specifically for match time? It would nice to get some free fly spectator coverage.

We won't be removing the killcam.  If we did, it would eliminate our easy banned internal check.

No, it's not an easy switch.  Only those players who bought the first wave of private servers have .ini access, and .ini changes aren't registered immediately (usually takes a day).

I thought it still showed their loadout, just didn't follow their camera.  The killcam provides a ton of free information and needs to go.

And without that info things would get a lot harder for weaker teams.

I was told by two admins that it doesn't show their loadout.  However, I didn't bother checking personally.  If someone's able to verify (and provide video evidence) that the loadouts remain visible sans killcam, we'll consider mandating its removal.

It's standard practice in most competitive games to disable killcams.

Well that's a hassle. I could have sworn one day we were having trouble joining omegas server one day because he was changing the password from one dumb word to another dumb word, seemed like a much more in the momement thing than a hasslesome .ini change.

[Nept]

If you make a change to your server on the web-based rentals web site, it won't show up until the game server has been restarted.  These restarts will be weekly, though for right now, submit a ticket and we'll do it manually.

 

Now, in my experience, the changes have happened quite quickly.  Not guaranteed to be quick, though - and the less hassle on match night, the better.

Of course. There's no reason to go through the trouble if it's that kind of a hassle. I'm just surprised there isn't some console functionality for changing server passwords.
