I’ve been wondering, if I spend money on TF2 and become a premium user, does Steam starts counting TF2 as a paid game and afterwards I can add friends and whatever?
where do I go to set my profile? And edit it, for that matter? Is it done via the website, or through the Steam program?
edit: try this? http://steamcommunity.com/id/SoVi3t666
You guys are acting like every server out there is kicking F2P players, which is absolutely ridiculous. The amount of people who are running these scripts are pretty small. Valve is even running a ton of their own servers to help the overload right now.
The people out there are paying their own money to run their own servers, and you think that even though they’re paying for that somehow you have some earned right to just have access to it just because you feel like it? Fuck no. If they feel like running a non F2P server right now just to keep the skill level higher, so be it. The amount of riff raff kept out versus the amount that is going to be missing is greatly in their favor.
If months down the road, the people enjoying TF2 and getting better are still F2P AND the mods are still popular, then I have no sympathy for them. Support the game and spend $5 on it and become premium you cheap bastards.
Elitism possibly, but you can’t really blame us gentlemannes of leisure for wanting to keep the poor and Irish out of our neighborhoods.
Yes, see the problem was you posted your account name which is different from the name that shows up while you are playing a game or public to everyone on Steam. All good now. I found you.
On your profile page you should have a link on your Action bar that says Edit my Profile.
meh, it’s free to play… FREE!
I’m new to steam, kinda shitty to get me started like this…sure if I pay money things get better, but how am I supposed to know that, being a new member who is unable to add friends.
And my jobless ass has to somehow justify paying money towards Steam, during my temporary crisis
anywho, gonna hop on and kill some peoples
There’s no shame in playing when its F2P, but just don’t get some sort of sense of entitlement. How many times have you been kicked off a server for being a F2P person? I don’t think many non trade servers are even running it
Yeah man, on steam you have your Steam I.D. and your Steam Handle. Your Steam I.D. is what you used to create the account and it will always stay the same. That and the email you used to sign up for the account are gonna be the easiest thing to use to have someone add you to their friends list. The Steam Handle is what everyone in game and on your friends list will see. You can change that as much as you want. When you add someone using their Steam I.D. or email and they have a different Steam Handle it will tell you so. Like my Steam I.D. is Khazidhea519 but my Handle is Drizzt519. So if you add me as Khazidhea519 it will tell you that I will appear on your friends list as Drizzt519.
I beat the game, I got an unusual hat. I
Spy becomes a lot more fun with a lot of F2P players.
http://steamcommunity.com/id/FuzzySnugs add me, whoever cares.
You beat the game? I didnt know that was a possibility.
It’s all about the hats.
Getting an unusual is crazy
how much money did you have to spend in keys?
A lot of people don’t want to ‘wait a few months’ for the players to get better. They didn’t like the fact that on Wednesday they had a totally normal game experience and on Thursday all of that went right out the fucking window. It isn’t elitism at all, it’s apprehension of the mean level of skill going way down after the game has been out for more than FOUR YEARS. I can’t play on those Valve public servers anymore because of how bad I’ll become if I get used to it. I main spy, I can top score boards as spy versus very competent players, vs these new guys it’s like I’m not even playing a game.
It’s not a slight against any new players here, and in fact I think that this patch will extend TF2’s life time for miles. However, don’t get mad at the seasoned players who still want to be able to depend on pyros that spy check, engineers that build sensibly, and medics who know how to stay alive and who to heal. It just so happens that auto-banning F2P players is the easiest way of accomplishing this right now. In a few months or so I’m willing to bet that the few servers that are running this will get rid of it.
The other reason to run this mod is hacking. Since TF2 became free to play the amount of testing grounds hackers will have will be infinite. Before they had to risk $20 every time VAC caught their cheating ass which obviously isn’t the case anymore.
Don’t be so quick to judge.
Not to mention the huge increase is battle medics since the game went F2P
I’m not saying its unfair to want a high level experience. But banning them outright just because they are F2P? That’s a kneejerk reaction, and thats why I’m pissed off about it - specially because I’m F2P myself.
Fair enough. But you’ll mostly be banning legit users - who might not come back if this thing gets widespread - and hackers can just dish out $4 if they want to hack in VAC secured servers.
Same goes for the people running this kind of mod.
And to the guy saying F2Pers should support the game and become premium: Why would I support a game that does not want me?
just look what happened to combat arms
I actually traded for it, it’s one of the low tier unusual hats, but it’s still nice. The trading aspect of this game gets ridiculous whenever dealing with unusuals. I recommend avoiding it. I kinda realized that my last comment probably sounded pretty harsh.
But if you guys ever want to play on some servers that don’t have crazy settings, I’d be down for that.
There really aren’t that many servers banning people for being F2P. I really feel like you’re letting this soak a little too far under your skin right now. Think of it like players like Combofiend and JWong wanting to play with actual competition rather than just running over them like a train. Also think about the fact that there are plenty of servers with well established regulars. All of the sudden those regulars have to fight to play amongst a player count that has not only increased more than four fold, but is also completely new. All of the sudden the people who have been playing the game for hundreds of hours have to fight against a ton of newcomers just to GET INTO THE SERVER THEY’VE FREQUENTED FOR YEARS. Being mad at people who rent their own servers implementing their own rules is silly.
This thing isn’t becoming wide spread. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that a lot of TF2 players like that their K/D probably at least triple on average. There are tons of TF2 players that are completely welcoming of this new invasion of players. The requirement of money to get hackers to come back is also enough to deter a lot of hacking.
They aren’t judging you, they just want their game to stay some what the same. Seriously, it isn’t like they’re some sort of tribunal that has passed down judgment. They’re simply aware that the game they’ve played for years just went through a massive noob invasion, and they’re not necessarily wrong for taking measures to insure that it doesn’t happen in their servers.
TF2 isn’t a universally combined game. Sure, everyone on a TF2 server is playing with the same game but different servers have dramatically different rules in terms of player count, respawn time, class limits, what their policies are on griefing/exploiting, and whether you can just blare obnoxious music through your mic all day. Every server sets its own rules, this is no different from any of that.
The ‘game’ wants you. Valve set up shit loads of servers just for this increase of traffic. Just please be aware that there are some of us who don’t want to stop playing our seasoned matches to teach you how to rocket jump. No disrespect, we’ve all been there, but the game has been out for quite a while, and this transition is shocking to say the least for some people.
I’m actually entirely ignorant to Combat Arms in general. What happened?
It must have been a hell of a trade to get an unusual hat with non unusuals
