Are we finally done with the bot menace?
>It's impossible to make new bot accounts for a free game
>>681371195reminder that the whole of the bot spam in tf2 is a deranged trans furry in his basement setting up bots perpetually angry at the game because of some gay discord drama
just play tf2c??
>>681371389Elaborate
>>681371457The major bot hosters were doing so because they were disgruntled with Valve's handling of TF2 in some manner. The hoster of the largest number of bots, "Klaxon," was specifically trying to make the game unplayable because TF2 was a last vestige of an era of the internet where people could manage themselves and set their own boundaries for their communities. Essentially, he was unhappy that a high profile mainstream platform still existed where the buck wasn't stopping with some easily targeted centralized entity for the conduct of its users. It made him seethe that people could say things that he didn't want them to, and not be subjected to widespread consequences for it. So he, along with others, decided to ruin the game for everyone else so that it would die and be shut down, and maybe even replaced with a platform that would police its users more closely and force them into a centralized ecosystem in the process.On top of that, a lot of them are also just dogshit at video games and resent other people for being better and think that cheating should be considered a valid way to play and that they're not actually doing anything wrong, as if the only purpose of a multiplayer game is to be at the top of a list rather than the competition itself.
>>681371415tf2c?
>>681371297from what i'm hearing new bot accounts now getting instabanned moments after creation
>>681372983you know you can mute players, right? either way this is still better than lime scunts and $100 ring messages.
>>681372868Do you have a single fact to back that up?
>>681371195No because bothosters are chronically online autists and they are simply too stubborn to just give up and like, do something more valuable with their time and money.Valve will once again stop caring once the summer update is out, you all are fucking gullible children for thinking that Valve has changed in any way, shape or form.
>>681373840Klaxon has literally said as much between whining about how he's tried to kill himself a million times and talking about how much he TOTALLY LOVES TF2 and just wants it to be better, you "folx."
>>681374263Valve has been working on this since the original SaveTF2 movement if not earlier. They're not stupid, it's still making them a decent amount of money, and it wouldn't do them any good to just let it die like this when tens of thousands of real people are still playing it every day, 17 years on.
>>681373606>muting an adminpretty sure theyll ban you for that
>>681374956They can't tell unless they're trying to talk to you in particular for some reason, and you don't respond. And if you're not breaking any rules, they're probably not going to be talking to you.
>>681374381Well I was just expecting a few links to posts I could read myself or whatever but it's fine.
>>681372983This happens in regular TF2 as well.
>>681375171I was expecting the screencap summary (that I don't have saved) to be posted at some point. If this thread doesn't die, you'll see it eventually.
>>681371389why do you guys gravitate towards games for trans and furries and similar shit so much?i've played video games for 30+ years now and i don't think i've ever met anyjust avoid anything obviously gay and the problem solves itself
>>681375408The game allows yiu to have your own servers hosted. This allows degenerates to create their own spaces and populate. In most modern games yiu are given a random grab bag of players. So degenerates are usually kept in check.
>>681375408>why do humans gravitate towards living in houses? don't those get termites?
>>681375408TF2 has been around since 2007, and features a 100% male cast of characters. The only indication of anything even remotely progressive in the game at release was the presence of a pink bag with a flower on it sitting on a spawn room shelf prop. Since then, there have been maybe four cosmetics total that directly appeal to any weird demographics. It's a fantastic game that young, poorly adjusted men played ten years ago, and some of them turned out weirder than others, and never stopped playing the game in the meantime. It's exactly the same thing that happened with Fallout: New Vegas.
>>681372983this is only in the NA server. Just play EU and you NEVER see this shit. In fact i even see slurs from time to time.
>>681375120>They can't tell>Faggot alt client for TF2 that started out because of fags getting made fun of for being fake old fags on /v/ back in 2014 playing le heckin real no crit no unlock no hat REAL oldfag server>Not having the means to be turbofaggots such as reporting when a player has muted someone to the fagmins
>>681376852No they don't. Every single house I lived in was made with bricks. Maybe don't make a house that can be eaten by bugs.
>>681371415im banned
>>681379732you sound either paranoid or incredibly self-centered. in a server of 24 people nobody is going to notice you being all shy and bashful.
>>681371195There's still the e-celeb menace to deal with. And matchmaking.
>>681371195Done? No. But if Valve keeps this up, bot hosters will have a tougher time fucking up casual.
>>681371415>just play *objectively worse version of the game made exclusively for contrarians*??No.
>>681383000No I just know my history I know the depravity fagmins get up to.
>>681371415>tf2 "classic">it's not actually an old version of tf2>it's a bunch of weird custom content and unbalanced shit that contrarians play because "uhhh no hats so it's good"
>>681383742same>get banned for "inappropriate spray" of something that isn't even pornographic>meanwhile every time I go on that server there's like 5+ porn sprays in the spawngood job fagmins
>>681385148It has better balance then regular tf2 and you are coping because you can't take your precious hats with you
i fucking KNEW it was some salty tranny hosting the bots because tf2 players still say nigger faggot out loud in all chat. i had no evidence but it just felt correct on an instinctual level. who else would benefit from bots other than some petty bullshit?
>>681385148your main complaint is the name? well maybe they could rename it so that the C stands for Competent. because valve's version is a damn mess!
>>681375341Let's hope do, I want those notes.
>>681385674I mean technically this is a surprise to nobody, considering that the original wave was a deranged attempt to get valve to hire them to police hatespeech, which is why they turned their forum filter into an API that can be integrated in games.
>>681375408Normal people were playing TF2 first
>>681379842>he hasn't had to fight off brickbugs
>>681387802>selling solutions to problems you createdThis should be illegal.
>>681388462Cool it with the antisemitic remarks.
>>681372983Kek, but that's funny though. I once saved a bind from some guy named Parrot or something that sounded just like that. "Oopsie whoopsies I'm sowwy I shot you mistew ^v^"It's funny lol
>>681388462Valve sold nothing, it's free to use.Unless you're referring to the botters effectively charging to remove themselves from matchmaking.In which case they didn't get paid either
>>681390098It was the latter. Glad they got fucked for trying it.
>>681372868really?
>>681385148the dynamite pack and jump pads are far more fun than any balance change TF2 has made in the past 10 yearsThe Scout's nail gun needs to be nerfed tho
>>681376852i can smell the ameriburger off youyour bad analogy is actually an excellent analogy against your argument and proving my pointmost games aren't gaymost houses don't have termitesyou literally go out of your way to play gay games then you complain there's gay guys in your gay games
>>681391134Scout nail gun is in constant state of being overnerfed or overbuffed
>>681391134>Finally force retarded newfags to use the syringe gun with slightly more damage>They think it's OP and needs to be nerfed
>>681385674>trannies are people that try to cheat reality itself by attempting to be something they're not>they cheat in vidya tooNo fucking surprise.
>>681391424But i only use the Scattergun. The Nail gun is just boring to use and to fight against. I want to 1v1 a scout with scatterguns but its all this pussy play of standing far with the nails
>>681385674I seriously fucking loathe Uncle Faggot. He had ZERO business making a conscience effort to ruin the game for casuals just because he's a tryhard control freak psychopath that wants to implement HIS PERSONAL VIEWS OF HOW A FUCKING SIMPLE ONLINE VIDEOGAME SHOULD BE PLAYED on a global level. Even tho he literally has his own fucking servers that cater to his specific needs. I seriously fucking hate him and if he died tomorrow I would seriously smile.
>>681377124>ah yes my game with a 100% male cast of characters isn't gayextremely dumb argumenteven then this wasn't my point. i'm not talking about woke or whatever ameriburger cultiwar shit you worry abouttf2 is philosophically gay shit, the design, the aesthetics, the "lore". there's a lot of philosophically gay games that have nothing to do with being woke and for some reason every generic ameriburg in this shithole seems to have played them. runescape, world of warcraft, tf2if you have a modicum of taste you cannot tell me this is gay. it's as bad as liking sonic or watching animecommon retort:>b-but you're just complaining about popular thingswhich is nigger-tier answer. tf2 is contemporary to fear 1, far cry 1, doom 3, quake 4, hl2, stalker, bioshock 1, crysis... even ut3, cod4, halo 3 if you want to specifically stick to pvp mp fps (which is inherently borderline gay as a genre). yes, normalfag-centric cod4 is firmly less gay than tf2 so muh popularity really is no excuseit's this kind of bullshit like convincing yourself you like 5/10 girls because you're such a loserfaggot you feel you can't even fantasize about 10/10syou purposefully adopt gay taste, or worse, you have no taste so you default to the most popular alternate choice as if that amounts to a personality. then you make surprised pikachu face when you find out actual homos and weirdos (= people with no personality who adopt meme sexualities as a proxy for being interesting) join these same spacescomethefuckon
>>681392256If you're popping boners in the locker room that's your problem but trying this hard to paint the world as gay is just well, gay.Normal people don't feel sexual tension just from being surrounded by their fellow individuals.
>>681392256Holy shit kill yourself. Stop trying to project your literal headcanons as factual information. Do you fucking faggots EVER wonder why everyone hates you these days? Also, just because you type the word "nigger" that by zero standard means that people here are going to eat up your words. Using "enemy lingo" is a literal leftist/commie tactic and has been for aeons. Fucking kill yourself you worthless piece of shit. Not even your father will miss you, let alone your mother.
>>681372983All you have to do is mute them, the new pocket watch for spy is honestly so fucking fun and skill based compared to the DR, it's unreal
>>681391702the correlation is that most people who code are nerdsnerds are more likely to trannymodecheats are code
>>681372868>The major bot hosters were doing so because they were disgruntled with Valve's handling of TF2 in some manner. this is a lie btw
TF2 Classic doesnt have Banana Bay or the Caber so why the fuck would i play it
>>681392256>game with soldiers is all male therefore theyre faggotsyoure obsessed you deranged, porn-addicted freak loser. didnt even read the rest, dont care
>>681394612hi klaxon
I dunno why people don't like the fan o war I think it's very fun to use with the force a nature or the shortstop
>>681396443I just did shortstop + fan o war 2 days ago and it helped make the shortstop feel less shittyIts flexible with any secondary too
>>681396667Yeah, hitting them once and running away while shooting them with it is honestly very funny, the same goes with the force a nature, dealing 134 damage with one meatshot straight up kills all light classes and makes everyone else truly fear the second one
>>681374381>TOTALLY LOVES TF2 and just wants it to be better, you "folx."I hope he succeeds on his next suicide attempt
>>681396443It deals less damage than the Wrap Assassin’s melee, even after Minicrits, and can only mark 1 player for death at a time.Either;>Allow it to mark multiple players for death and not have such terrible damage>Change it so it can blow away players like how airblast can blow away playersThen people would like it more
>>681391331>ameriburgerRent free lol
>>681397981
>>681387367>>681375341reply to me when it gets posted pls
>>681385148i need a sauce for that pic
>>681396443People legitimately just forget it exists.It's like how nobody used the diamondback until the ambassador got nerfed.
>>681394104>nerdsAutists, and maybe if we're being extremely generous people that are obligated to game the absolutely broken Civil Rights Act.
>>681371195They'll probably keep the effort up until summer update brings in its cashOnce that's done, and cheaters defeat the current measures, it might go back to the usual
>>681401367I sincerely believe that "everyone should learn to code" was not only a scheme to get a mass influx of code monkeys that will work for cheap due to the insane amount of competition, but combined with H1B Visa shit, designed to weaken our tech sector.The only people that should be in tech are people that have interest in it, not people trying to make money.
>>681402325No, the learn to code was vindictive shit to people that actually work REAL JOBS that do REAL THINGS from clique webdev faggots that don't actually do anything important and could BARELY be described as doing any actual coding.
>>681371195It's hilarious how all the fallout and bad PR forced Valve to actually do something.
>>681402982I mean the closest to that being right is that botting the steam reviews probably pissed them off enough to get them to fuck off.
>be me>find everyone is hosting>hosts>gets banned>rage bait about being a troon and depressivewhat now? im expecting my doxx..
>>681373130From what I gather they've been hardware banned. In other words their accounts are getting auto-banned because they're being detected to be run on the same computer that was running bots.So it's a question of these people eventually getting new computers. Maybe needing a new IP too because they've probably been IP banned as well.
>>681402325my nigger , 80% of the "coder" positions are taken up by conpletely retards that slack off and dont know how to codeif youve ever had a friend who is an actual competant IT he will tall how fucked the situation is and if you personally can code then you basically do the work for 5 other people
>>681403936yes, we've been hwid banned, but to note, valve only bans premium accounts (greedy) cause i've been lasting with a f2p account for 3 days and nothing happened
>>681404185>some retard out there is spending loads of money just so they can grief a video gameJesus fucking christ, where do these drooling faggots even get money from if they are perma online?
>>681403936They don’t need new computers. There are plenty of ways to spoof hardware IDs.
But did they also ban the silent aimbot fags as well?
>>681404185i hope you die of constipation and save your parents the shame of your existence
>>681404624it's always hard to detect aimbotting, especially since some good shots can come across as aimbots
>>681404463grandma's got load of money
>>681404491Name three (3).
>>681403936>>681404491Form what I understand most of these bot hosters were poorfag script kiddies that dumpster diving for new computers and their main coder gave up and ran away.
>>681391424>give a medium range automatic weapon to the single best 1v1 class in the game
>>681406331Scunts are the type of people who think the fastest class in the game should have a projectile based stun.
When do we stop protesting? I genuinley want to open crates just to support this game for doing this, but I don't want to be too hasty.
>>681407490Until the summer update ends without bots shitting it up.
Someone posted a screenshot of his Steam account tag, kek.>>681408720
>>681407342You're the kind of retard that think that being able to slow the walking speed of anyone provides literally any sort of benefit to the class with the fastest walking speed in the game.
>>681409368He doesn't need an autowin projectile either.
>>681410139Dodge you faggot toddler
>>681410573Learn to flank.
>>681412770>no u
>>681385148it's just less bloated TF2 and most of the new weapons they've added are fun ideas (except the AA gun, giving Heavy a longer ranged burst damage option that also hard shuts-down air approaches is a fundamentally stupid as fuck idea and the "counter" is to get up close and trade with him)
