  1. Management has said time and time again that they don't have any issues with the "Deathmatch" meta but I don't think they have any intention to push further into that direction. While this issue has been brought up and outlined time and time again, as you've stated yourself, no solutions have been brought up that effectively address it without strong negative side effects. Management is seeking to address it in the way they best see fit as no better solutions have been brought up. Repeating the problem over and over without bringing a proper implementation to the table does not help. If you want to play devils advocate towards any suggested fixes, that would be closer to being productive.
  2. Yes, attempting to destroy a T Tester is considered T-Bait but is not against the rules.
  3. I too find this annoying, particularly as last CT. I think the easiest fix would be moving it from the default weapon binds to 8 and 9 or something. @Bacon @Infinityward @Cept For Her
  4. This is something that I've wanted for quite some time now. I'm not sure if it's something the managers are looking to do just yet, but I imagine they'd want to take into account some of the negatives that could come from this. Keep your eyes peeled for something similar coming very soon tho Yeah, you're added to the list.
  5. I believe it's related to !ws but couldn't be positive, I just remember it starting around the time that was implemented. Do you usually use E or just walk over weapons when picking them up? Not sure if it makes a difference but it feels like it happens less when I actually use E to pick weapons up.
  6. ANDROID 11 BETA DROPPING FOR PIXELS TODAY, GET IT WHILE IT'S HOT! https://www.google.com/android/beta
  7. Previously suggested here. I stand by what I said previously, but we'll see if the team has anything different to say this time around. In terms of just an event, it might be interesting to try, but unless someone can find a pre-existing plugin, it will likely be too difficult to implement just for an event.
  8. I personally preferred the Nexus phones as they tend to be more aware of what they were: mid-range phones delivering the best android experience to compete with flagships. I've owned the Pixel 2XL, 3XL, and I'm now on the 4XL. I miss my fingerprint scanner but I've been very happy with the experience AOSP delivers and the simple and clean design of the phones. Looks like with the 5, Pixel will be going back to it's roots with more affordable hardware and competitive pricing.
  9. Got this weird glitch on Instagram where pictures won't load, I hope they fix that, kind of annoying tbh
  10. Months ago, the server looked a lot different, but the same conversation was being had. There was a lot of discussion and many people just saying it was "shit CTs". Even this is still the case, when the server sees a ratio of 1:3 or worse regularly for multiple hours each day, it's evident that there is an issue and it's not going to fix itself. The managers have made it abundantly clear that they enjoy the DM gamemode and it's not going anywhere. Making changes to make the server enjoyable for more players and keep them from leaving the server out of boredom does not mean that DM JB is going away. As you mentioned in your OP, the server is very T centric. This calls in to question where CTs draw their enjoyment from. It's certainly not from getting their ass clapped round after round; take a look at what happens to the number of people willing to play CT when they lose multiple rounds in a row. If you enjoy DM JB so much, why are you so opposed to being challenged for once? Are you afraid that if CTs are able to consistently control rounds that it's going to be harder to farm points and keep a 3.0 KD? The Ts are literally win over 90% of rounds; that's ridiculous. When I play T side I often get bored very quickly of rounds going nowhere and ending quickly so I end up switching to CT or leaving altogether. Hoping that people switch to CT out of boredom is not a good way to operate. This also calls into question the longevity of the gamemode. I've seen a considerable amount of Staff members spend less and less time on the server, and a wide majority of them end up playing almost exclusively on T side. This has caused the CTs the be neglected and often overlooked from my perspective. Management has always looked to bring cool incentives to T side like point resets, gangs and LR plugins. From the time I started playing JB I've seen the CT side get a 5HP buff and a participation trophy rank system that nobody cares about. Management has already made it clear time and time again that they are not looking to incentivize CTs at all with an achievement based rank system, so why not at least make things a little easier for the few CTs that decide to still play the side. I don't mean to put you down; feedback is always welcome and it's important to stand up for what you love about your servers, but this whole thread reminds me of the Ts that keep whining "These CTs are shit, give better orders, can someone else switch". The blame is always put on to someone else, as players want the challenge and kills but have no regard for how dull and difficult the CT side can be.
  11. Obligatory Guide if this is your first car as well. I understand the appeal of Mustangs, but a medium to high power RWD car is not generally the best option for a first car. If you plan on hooning around town, FWD or AWD might be a safer and more affordable bet. You might not win all the light to lights, but you'll probably make it home in one piece every night. Weigh your options and see what you're really looking for in a car. Things like comfort, reliability, and even fuel economy can often be overlooked.
  12. Carfax data is compiled for reports matching the VIN number. Whatever the Carfax says the model is is most likely right. If you're still doubting it, ask him to check the VIN for you and you can look it up yourself. I don't know a whole lot about mustangs, but I'm the JDM scene, a lot of people will swap bumpers and other parts for whatever they find the most appealing. A lot of cars from close years that are considered different models will have interchangable parts, so it's possible that this is what happened. That sounds like a pretty reasonable price, but you can always ask if he would mind you taking it to a mechanic to check it out for you. Don't be afraid to haggle if it's more than you're willing to pay, the worst he can do is say no. If you're buying a car that's stick, make sure you know what you're getting into, and that you have someone that is willing to drive it home for you and teach you. While driving stick gets easier with time, there is absolutely more frustrations and minor inconveniences that an auto grocery getter doesn't have. There's absolutely no reason to buy stick these days unless you enjoy driving or can't afford anything else. Do your research, make sure you know what you're getting, especially if it's going to be your daily driver.
  13. This has been suggested previously here, and management decided it wouldn't be the best course of action at the time. There's a chance that this could be revisited, but would require a custom plugin, and may take considerable time. In the meantime, I can say this has been a frequent topic of discussion, so we would love to hear your opinions on the matter and any suggestions you guys have towards potential solutions.
  14. Apart from crash bars, bumpers, fenders, and somewhere to mount your license plate being required in most states, removing these pieces compromises the safety and aerodynamics of your vehicle. Manufacturers, in recent years, have put a lot of effort into improving the safety of vehicles, and those outer panels and beams play a key part in absorbing and distributing force during a collision. You can look up your state laws on what in particular is and isn't allowed. Keep in mind these only apply to registered cars on public roads though, so if you want to drive an 800hp go-kart on your own land, go for it. The majority of people that do weight reduction on their cars will work from the inside out, removing trim, power seats, even door cards. Heavy body panels can instead be replaced with lighter counterparts like carbon fiber hoods and roofs.
  15. This used to happen to me on tumbleweed for a short time before fixing itself. Someone smarter than I mentioned it had to do with something in the map itself, but I can't remember who it was, or what they said :/. Does this only occur on specific maps, and have you always had an issue with this?
  16. New Keyboard

    Why don't you get a switch tester and figure out what sort of switches in particular you're looking for. There's not a significant difference between the feel of two prebuilt keyboards with the same switches, so sharing if you want features like rgb or macros and what design in particular you like would help as well.

  18. Settings>Miscellaneous>Attachments If you delete them from here, they'll clear up attachment space for you to post more images. I think 5MB made sense 15-20 years ago but it's absolutely abysmal now. Something like having extended as a VIP perk wouldn't go unappreciated. I have to delete a lot of images to post new attachments, essentially deleting old posts in the case of Post Pictures of Yourself etc. I'm not sure if it's possible to implement, but even something like an option to automatically compress images would help.
  19. Nyoooooom https://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/showthread.php?t=91606 I still think this is a good idea. Even if ZE stays as the featured server, this can still be implemented. I also think treating ZE like a wounded animal detracts from some of the traffic and attention our other servers could be getting. The featured status didn't keep it from dying 6 months ago and it's not what's nursing it back to life rn.
  20. Sorry I was speaking from experience here as someone who uses a B450 and had to purchase a 2600 to flash the BIOS. Since the dawn of time motherboards would not post without a CPU, which means you wouldn't be able to get into BIOS to flash it with just a USB. You are right here though, the specific motherboard he mentioned does have flashback+ which allows you to post without a CPU. You're right, this is a very common and good pairing, but this is not a $500 card. The 5700 is not the same as the 5700XT, it's around $100 cheaper, making this a 150/350 ratio, a lot closer to a 1:2 than a 1:4 ratio. As someone who has fallen for this meme 3 times when building a computer, I would not recommend. If you are someone who only cares about pushing the maximum possible performance for the least money, go for it, but from my experience, the user experience suffers heavily. A lot of tech channels that you may see featuring builds like this will put it up on a test bench, open a game or benchmark with nothing else, then close the program and shut down. This isn't how people use their computers, they run Discord, chrome, Spotify or whatever in the background. When you're pushing your CPU to the limits, something as simple as tabbing out is enough to cripple your computer to a crawl, sometimes even causing freezing. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or multitasking harder than most others do, but from the one Intel and two AMD builds I've used with this rule, I've had impressive performance but a hairpulling user experience.
  21. Nice to see you already have your tissues ready for when you get clapped on TTT
  22. This is coming from someone who recommended a $500 GPU with a $150 CPU. B450 is also only compatible if you have a previous gen chip to update the firmware.
  23. If you aren't opposed to deviating from the source a bit, I'd recommend breaking up some of the longer sightlines a little bit. The two open sides and straight on the far side of the map make you feel very exposed as a T. Overall, it seems the server likes this map.
  24. You can take him from our server, but he'll never leave our hearts. RIP Banana Joe 2018-2020
