[Mar 25, 2012] TF2 Stress Test (Online)

[Dave]

Today we will be attempting to get all 16 slots filled on the new TF2 server to see how or if it affects lag or playability.
If interested in helping out by blowing shit up, please RSVP.

 

[Bumble the Boy Wonder]

Cool, I guess it can handle 1/16 easy enough...

 

[Dave]

-heh- We had 5 on earlier with no issues. If we want we can open it on non-event days to not have a password so random strangers might come in.

 

[Bowielee]

I'm sorry I missed it. I ended up sleeping most of the day, then re-downloading all my steam games (new hard drive).

 

[Dave]

Covar, does that mean you think we should open it for outsiders?

 

[Covar]

On non event days I would agree. It would keep people in the room and give halforumites more people to play with on the server, rather than going elsewhere. I know there's servers with priority to donors out there, so there's probably some way to setup a whitelist of priority for halforumites.

 

[Dave]

I'll look into that. For now I'll open it up without password.

Pssst... did you know you can copy them over from your existing drive without the need to re-download them all?

On topic... I'll try and be around for the stress test... no promises though... having young kids will do that.

 

[GasBandit]

What time on the 25th will the stress test be?

 

[Dave]

Weird. Sorry about that! It took away the RSVP section. I've added it back in.

 

[Shegokigo]

I hate you all......

 

[Dave]

I've heard that somewhere...

 

[GasBandit]

I've heard that somewhere...

Just your imagination.

 

[Chronos[Ha-G]]

Depends on when it is during the day. We record Kritzkast (LEGALLY REQUIRED LINK) midday on sunday.

 

[Wahad]

Is this still going to go?

 

[Ravenpoe]

Given that there's a total of one person on the server, I'm guessing I missed the stress test

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

you left too early. People showed up. But yeah, Dave never showed so far.

 

[figmentPez]

We had six people on at one point, fighting melee-only. Not exactly a stress-test, but it's pretty fun to see melee go on for as long as it did.

 

[AshburnerX]

Oh for fuck's... I thought this was yesterday. That's why I showed up then. I was raiding all day today.

 

[Dave]

Are you kidding me?!? I set the fucking day and I showed up on the wrong one?!? I thought yesterday was the 25th! I was bitching on Saturday at noon about how nobody cared or bothered to show up! I'm a fucking moron.

 

[Ravenpoe]

Yes... yes you are.

 

[Dave]

I talked about it online yesterday to pretty much everyone. NOBODY corrected me! Ash even complained about nobody being there for the stress test.

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

We were all "Where's dave? He schedules a stress test and then doesn't show up. Man!"

Then we were all "Melee only!"

 

[AshburnerX]

No, Sunday WAS the 25th, which is the day you scheduled. I showed up on the 24th (saturday) because I thought it WAS the 25th.

Unless you meant to schedule it for Saturday and didn't.

So basically both server admins had the wrong day.

Man did we fail hard.
