If you are going to post, please don’t post stuff that you don’t actually mean or is not relevant towards these kinds of threads. I don’t appreciate it nor does anyone else.

This goes to everyone. Thanks.

@starcatfish kk. cus truth be told, you guys are not suppose to have access to that yet. whoops

I am just going to state my opinion, although I do understand wanting to experience maps you haven’t played before.

bad maps are no longer played for good reasons. I would rather us not waste time and resources re-learning lessons we have already learned years ago.

new cascade should be tested because its new and has an active developer willing to work with us. we can find new issues and fix them, and add it into the rotation this season.

None of the other maps will be added back in. because you guys will play them, re-experience the same things as its the same map, and we will repeat this process again in a year.

No, 5cp and HL isnt fun and will never be fun due to the gamemode’s innate issues with the format. 6’s works with 5cp because 6’s was designed around that gamemode. Vanguard was made with HL in mind iirc and we played it a total of 3 times in UGC(?)

ramjam is too big of a map for koth and while yes, we haven’t played it since UGC, the issues that were presented to the map developer were ignored and was not fixed. Also don’t use UGC as an example for anything good.

borneo is a very long map. When your best pick as spy defending last is to sap the teleporter, its a bad map. when your engineer on offence runs full time EE for ez teles, its a bad map. Its the anthesis of vigil with cap times of 10 minutes not being bad.

Millstone.

Anyone remember badwater_pro? I think we are on version 20 of that map.

anyone remember barnblitz_pro???

Again, I understand you guys wanting to experience those maps that you haven’t before, but do them in your in-house pug groups instead.

I Don’t see anything wrong with the forums? everything appears to be working correctly.

Reminder that there is a difference from Free Speech and Consequence Free Speech.

Free speech means the government cant do anything about your saying slurs.

That does not mean that there are not political, social, or cultural repercussions to your actions.

One of the goals of Engineer.tf is to be able to provide adequate resources for aspiring engineer mains to improve. To assist in that function we have created a page on the website that allows you to view, search for, and download STV demos from official Invite RGL Highlander matches. This is a valuable resource that allows mentees to watch and learn how the best play at the highest level of Highlander. Because these are STV demos, anyone can benefit from this resource, even if you don’t play engineer.

you can view our STV Archive on our website at https://engineer.tf/demos.php

LFP Advanced - Engineer/Solly

Hi this is Mothership. Team “In Da Hoop” (Team name is a work in progress) is looking for skilled and dedicated players for HL season 9!

We are trying to make a mature team with a good atmosphere. We do team map reviews, demo reviews, and of course scrims every week. In addition we will be having an optional non-tf2 related game night every week to take off the edge. Don’t let the fun aspects fool you though, as we are competitive tryhards in nature and will try our best to constantly seek personal improvement. Our hope is to not be a monkey brained team.

Our current focus for classes are subs
The roster is currently as follows:

Mains

Scout - Matches_
Soldier - Dubthink
Pyro - Despy
Demoman - Mothership
Heavy - Patches
Engineer - Rekabet
Medic - Ben
Sniper - Jimsgims
Spy - Godo

Subs

Scout -
Soldier -
Pyro -
Demoman -
Heavy -
Engineer -
Medic -
Sniper - Powerpuker
Spy -

Thanks for reading! Please ask to tryout if you enjoy a fun, non-toxic, environment!

Contacts for tryouts via discord:
Despy#8460
Mothership#9517

@Bliztank I just disabled it for now. Its something we can figure out later.

good engineer.

with the grab of Rekabet, we have our full roster. still looking for subs, especially scout subs as we will need one for scrims. danke to all our tryouts, you were great.

I am unable to set it per forum, but I went ahead and increased it to 14 days instead of the default 7.

@perenne said in The RGL Expiremental Map Cup is Being Wasted.:

someone needs to get some map maker who actually knows what they’re doing and give them millstone and just see what they do to fix that terrible last

You just want to see Wax do Wax strats again.

(note: plz no, milstone was not good. Reminder that 1st was just one sniper fight+flank house, second was a throw away because the cap point was stupid forward. Third was a a hard hold. and last was just big, open and dumb.)

picked up Dubthink on solly

Updated, Picked up Godo on spy and Ben on medic.

We are now focusing on subs.

Looking for some deticated subs. (Scout/Medic)

We have filled our heavy slot, we are now focused on solly MEDIC, and engineer tryouts.

@scaredy-bat that is interesting, might be because the forum orders are customizable and when you browse by tags, you are browsing by the topic and not the replies. I set it to browse by last response for forums, but I cannot set it to do the same per tags.

@scaredy-bat do you have a screenshot of what you are referring to?
