Remember the window that cracked? Do it some more.

I'm sure Mr. LaMAyO had nothing to do with it.

The Frequenly asked question that is still not satisfactorally answered is why they did this. And everyone is asking it more frequently than the other questions. (I get that existing ones will still be around.)

Perhaps if we knew what caused the initial converation and eventual decision to have these hats retire in the first place we could prevent further retirements(and reduce whining). While I enjoyed the creativity of them inventing this little story event and only explaining it in the context of the fictional universe of TF2, I'm sure everyone would appreciate a real world answer that applies to the actual universe.

Can you prove your mic works outside of steam?
If not then turn the on switch on (I've forgotten to do this a few times). There might even be a volume dial on the mic itself.
Also make sure you plug the mic jack(not the sound jack) into the mic port(not the sound port).
Beyond that, make sure your sound card/chipset drivers are installed properly and are up to date. Mess about with the Window's volume controls a bit until it shows activity when you're talking and near nothing when you aren't (adjust so your mic doesn't pick up your Hard-drives or case fans spinning)

Can you verifiy it works in steam chatrooms? (you and at least one other person have to dig for the menu to turn voice chat on).

If you can find any one person who can hear you in any other game (like TF2) then you have a game related setting that isn't picking up your mic. However there could be a few other things beyond your control. You may have been accidently muted by individual players or the server admin (or a script) decided to mute you across the board on their one server.


In summary, prove that the hardware works, then that steam itself is "hearing" you, then steam chatrooms(you can skip this if you want), another voice-chat enabled game, and finally the game you're having trouble with. If you still have trouble feel free to put your findings here.

You can also search for the sub-forums for each of these steam games. I'm sure you're not the only one with the issue and its probably been solved lots of times. Good luck.

The biker can only be damaged when he's pulling the knife from the wall. (I think thats kind of cheating on his part)
Also he's annoyingly fast. I eventually beat him though.

A few things... Kind of a brain-dump so consider if these things apply to you.

For people wanting to join your server if they start with your profile page:

1) You have no description on your profile, you're a blank wall. Some people would be put off by that. You can type the server name, game type and the IP address somewhere.

2) You don't seem to have a group page showing off that you have a server and why it should be joined. Might even be useful to know when you would be joining the server yourself.
You can put the steam page for this group as one of the three allowed hyperlinks at the bottom of your profile summary (and put your own profile page at the bottom of the group's summary)

3)Do you have a pro website related to the server? (special insignias, secret taunt-handshakes, etc) You can put that link on your group or profile page.

For people wanting to join your server from the server browser list and they already know you:

1) How do you name your server so it can be found easily?
Sometimes if I see a clan tag (usually at the beginning of the name) its a pretty safe bet (especially if there is more than one) that the servers are related and are being managed properly (assuming admins are actually there kicking spammers, etc). Additionally give the server appropriate tags so it can be found on a search. ("insta-respawn", "lowgrav", etc)

2) Can your server actually handle the physical demands of more than 8 people? on two teams? with perhaps using a mix of high and low speed internet connections? It might just be a hardware limitation which you can disprove by doing a stress test with 15 friends. (most respectable servers have a 32 player limit). I'm not sure if your server is your simple desktop machine or a multi-core rackmount beast in a datacenter you rent.

3) Does your server only offer stock maps? Make your own? Membership related free or paid benefits (like being immune to the team autobalancer)? Use some form of HLStats system for tracking how well your visitors are doing against eachother? Do you join them? If they have an issue can they steam chat you or email the generic admin? ("type !admin in chat to summon TheMasterer" etc.)

Do you add bots? That adds to the player count unless someone looks at minutes played and ping of each "player". But maybe they're truly evil, tweaked by yourself to be relentless and perhaps even intelligent.
I've been on lots of human vs bot servers and you can tripple the amount of player slots as long as bots somewhat equal humans. Training the bots to join one team is a neat trick, but training humans which team to join is something entirely different.

4) Does your server have an unskippable flash video commercial of extreme loudness on the message of the day page?

For people who don't know you or that you even have a server:
no idea
(I'm in this category)

You're not getting visitors except those who stumble upon it. Its a lack of clear advertising that your server is worth visiting(having only seen the name on a list and no other relevant info), particularly among the other well established populated servers.

The only good thing nexon did was getting rid of the arbitrary Stamina meter which didn't seem to hurt anything once it reached 0 and kept battling. Well that and now migrating the whole game onto steam.

There were not Houses you needed to furnish. Some of the map was completely re-done... Remember the witch quest was right next to Bran Castle instead of the other end of the continent.

The addition of the 4th level of monster info was a bit hard to take. Had to make another char to get Origin on Rabeil, Rabelus, and that third one and then somehow transfer all that to my main.

So 194 comments doesn't equal 194 "signed" for the petition.
Perhaps collect the names of the confirmed signed into the top post.

second idea: There could be a personal setting where you agree before joining a server that your class will be picked by the other players (and showing your score as they mouse over the potential choice).

THIS JUST GOT SIGNED!

Just an avereage chatroom role player.

hold the shift button, then tap the tab button. It works better that way.
