  2. This is dependent on the type of !LR you are in iirc. In most LRs you are able to throw your weapon and pick another up with the exception of a knife fight, I believe. One thing I find very annoying is not getting a weapon or being able to pick up a weapon in knife fights as a CT. Very often, as last CT, Ts will spam you with LR requests to find your location and force you to be stuck with a knife. Considering the button to accept LR is always the same as the button to switch to your primary, it sucks major dick. I think all LRs should allow your to pick up weapons, and just count it as cheating, cancelling the LR, should you pick up or switch to a weapon you shouldn't be using for the LR.
  3. I like this idea. I assume the flashing circles are similar to the !beacon command minus the annoying beeping. JB already features skin colors iirc so it can even be confusing to experienced players. Without the sound, they wouldn't be terribly obnoxious, my only concern is them flashing through walls and alerting other CTs/Ts of their location that aren't in active LR with them. TTT uses indicators that show above Detective/Traitor buddies heads and don't show through walls. Maybe this would be a better solution: a small triangle that just reads LR.
  4. https://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/showthread.php?t=84805 It's been in the rules. The issue is that nobody reads them before coming up with these mental gymnastics loopholes, or making threads about them.
  5. This allows you to defend yourself from a Detective who is RDMing or trying to kill you as an innocent. Feel free to do so at your own risk, keeping in mind how it will affect your karma. The emphasis is on the word "is" here; meaning, you can't kill a Detective later in the round just because he crossfired you earlier. We understand that the wording here is a little vague, and would like to close potential loopholes. Stay tuned
  6. Can you reread your post again and point out where the argument is? THAT'S THE DAMN POINT OF THE GUN. It offers an advantage mostly to lower-medium skilled players and reduces the skill gap from higher players. As someone who already knows how to aim well, you only see a marginal advantage from it. It's got nothing to do with balancing, you're used to dunking on noobs, and it's harder to do that now. Unlike a competitive game, where players are generally supposed to be in a similar skill level, scrim and retakes include players of all skill levels, which is why I'm sure many people enjoy it. Edmunds stats only seem to prove that lower and medium skilled players are just playing...how they'd actually play - saving for a krieg.
  7. The gold knife is literally impossible to miss with. This on the other hand, one shot and you're done. At least 50% of users would end up dying from holding it out too long or just whiffing their shot. I don't think it would be particularly overpowered or underpowered in comparison, just a different use.
  8. Many skins are seasonal or only on the server for events. This skin in particular was part of @Charliere 's Overwatch event, and was removed from the server when it ended. The issue is that these skins aren't just 'locked' but removed from the server altogether to save space. If you like a certain skin from an event or that you've found elsewhere, and would like it to be added to the store, you can suggest it here.
  9. While it would be nice to have another retakes server, and it would likely perform well, I think this goes in a similar vein as FFA. Apart from population being inconsistent, there's not a whole lot of incentive for people to join our community or donate even if they regularly play these servers.
  10. Retakes is SUPPOSED to be T sided in the same way that executes are supposed to be CT sided. This is essentially a light roleplay that Ts have already taken the site and planted the bomb. In an actual competitive game, the round is essentially theirs 90% of the time. The SG is only $300 more than the AK, so once again, it's not uncommon to see multiple players with it on a buy round if it's what they prefer. I was under the impression that retakes was supposed to train you for actual retake scenarios rather than being just another one of our roleplay/minigame servers; nerfing Ts then would actually make the server less useful and appealing to competitive minded players who actually want to practice. Fairly confident that this is literally just the iTunes effect in action. Couldn't be completely positive without one of the ATs/TAs filling in how the plugin works, but chances are, when randomly shuffling, teams will look similar.
  11. Welcome to the team @Beeen and @Kopsta ! Congrats @ThRza and @fantastic my sweet pea
  12. As someone who has made this suggestion previously (and many variants of it), why don't we meet in the middle? Keep the most popular maps in EVERY pool, and randomize or selectively choose the rest of the maps that go in each pool. The server still gets to keep it's high pop maps, but every once in a while, players will have to choose something unique to play.
  13. Oh it's because she puts cats down too..

  15. You have enough awards @nesquik, stop making up new awards for yourself just to fill that rank bar.
  16. Congrats boys
  17. You can definitely press the button as an inno. Maybe it can be patched, but it is a T-tester after all.
  18. Super Bowl Discussion

    Yo spoilers man, wtf
  19. Yeah, we should also ban talking about sports, music, hell you shouldn't be allowed to talk about the game mode either. If you think someone is harassing other players for their views, or instigating, feel free to make a player complaint.
  20. Could you provide a little more context as to why you think it should be removed? I believe management is already aware of why some people dislike it, but it would help if you could support your argument with something a little more meaningful than "it's unneeded".
  21. Ah shit looks like I won't be able to make this one jk looks like fun
  22. Keyboard

    Blue's come with the most pre-travel of any tactile/clicky switch, so if you want it to actuate later you'll have to look into linear switches like reds. These won't have any sort of bump and will just compress smoothly, which takes some getting used to. There's plenty of RGB TKL keyboards out there with Reds, but if you want some a little more specific, I'd recommend Glorious' keyboards as they come hotswappable, allowing you to put in whatever switches cater to your needs.
  23. Keyboard

    It would really help if you told us what you were looking for, or even what you don't like about your current keyboard. Do you need macros? RGB? A full layout? Are you at all familiar with switches and which you might be looking for?
  24. That's where you're wrong kiddo Health Stations have a limited number of charges, and a time between healing. If you want to talk decreasing charges or increasing the time between uses, I'm sure it could be done. I honestly haven't had a huge issue with this though, it provides a great way to heal yourself and your proven posse without hassle. Just try not to shoot at people standing on GLOWING BLUE MICROWAVES, if landing one more shot is too tricky for you.
