Wrangler = Overly complicated CRAP!

Frontier Justice =  Overly complicated CRAP!

The Gunslinger = Wait, this could be cool…oh wait…+25% health…CRAP!

We waited for this junk? And for the tour de force…

Golden Wrench = Elitist community, big dick, stupid ass, bull shit…CRAP!

Garbage! It’s all garbage!

OK, it’s not all bad we got some new Pay Load maps which ARE AWESOME. The Engie can now Right-Click to move and  redeploy equipment; which should have been included in the game from the beginning!  So, I guess that’s good. But over all, it’s simply the next chapter in TF2′s diary of fail. Hopefully, this is the last.

FYI – Yes, the majmar server is still [UberVannilla]. This will not be changed for the Engie Update. So luckily there will be one server on the interwubs that’s not 12v12 Engies.

Experiencing lag when when click the ENTER BATTLE Button?

Check out the link below.

I added both my BFBC2 Documents Folder AND the BC2 folder under steam.

Helped immensely with spawn lag.

#1 Download yourself some WoW. Use the bittorrents for this,  download the free trial from Blizz, bust out your old disks, whatever you want.

#2 Patch your WoW all the way up to 3.3.3 This can be done by running the launcher once you’re done installing WoW.

#3 Go to http://wow.dethpod.com/TrinityWeb/index.php?n=account&sub=register

#4 Make an account.

#5 Go into your WoW folder (usually called Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\enUS\), open the file called realmlist.wtf in notepad and change it to say ONLY the one line below:

set realmlist wow.dethpod.com

#5 Start your WoW using the wow.exe NOT launcher.exe

#6 Pick a Horde character.

#7 Whatever you do DO NOT go Gnome Mage.

#8 Profit.

Now, there’s a bunch of addons that will make the game not suck so much. These should get you through the basics:

Quest Helper

Cartographer

I’m sure our resident-former Retail Junkie (Ronin) will tell me that these are crap, and list off the 3,000 other addons I SHOULD HAVE put on this page. However, I just don’t feel like going through all of them. Curse has a whopping big bunch of addons you can feel free to try as you like.

Once you’ve created a character, send an in-game mail to either Whitesnake or Wendy, and get gold, bags, and fun prizes! Ok, so there’s no fun prizes, but be happy with the gold and the bags.

Now you know where you’re going and what you’re doing. And knowing is half the battle!

The client can be downloaded from…

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mumble/files/Mumble/1.2.2/Mumble-1.2.2.exe/download

The Server Info is…

Name: majmar
Hostname: mbl6.gameservers.com
Port: 10002

This should get you started. I plan to post a guide to optimizing your audio setting and working with the overlay. For now I just wanted to get everyone up and running.

Disneyland? Fuck, man, this is better than Disneyland!

All good things must come to an end. Unfortunately, today we bid a fond farewell  to the majmar TF2 server. You will be missed sir. You brought us much joy and happiness. You had a good run. You lasted much longer than anyone could have predicted. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

The saddest part is we’re not closing the doors due to lack of support. The majmar community has dutifully donated every month to keep the server going and I believe would have continued to do so. No, the server is taking its final bow because Valve’s TF2 Dev group has lost its collective mind.

As if the ‘Chargin’ Targe’ wasn’t broken and unbalanced enough, now TF2 will include user created weapons. That’s right kids, the Dev Team has reached all new levels of silly. They’ve even setup a website to expedite the unbalancing of the game. It’s only a matter of time before cats are living with dogs, your daughter is knocked-up, and money is missing from your dresser.

Majmar Revolution! was really the last bastion of sanity left in TF2 servers. Clearly the TF2 community as a whole really isn’t interested in balanced, team oriented game play. It only takes a quick glance at the available servers to see what most players want “TF2: Deathmatch” (32 player, fast-respawn, 24/7 Two-Forts) or “TF2: Counter Strike” (Arena, No-Crits). No one wants to play the game we fell in love with 2 years ago.

The Solider/Demo update was the writing on the wall. I really believed the Devs were going to fix the Targe. They fixed the pyro during the great “Pyro-Mania” update. I felt if we just waited it out they’d do the same thing again. Now, I see I was wrong; (which makes Blue right, and me a sad panda). It appears that not only are they not going to fix the Targe, but are introducing a whole carload of new weapons to unbalance the game. The Dev team is moving away from balanced game play and embracing gimmicky crap.

The biggest reason for TF2′s success is not the updates (unlike what the Devs will tell you). No, TF2 lasted because when it was all said and done TF2 was incredible balanced. Here’s a game with nine extremely distinctive classes that both felt and played in a balanced fashion. Here’s a game that, because of the nine  balanced classes, really felt like nine separate games. Here’s a team based game that was so balanced that a better team could beat  better players EVERYTIME.  Here’s a game who’s winning formula was balance. Not gimmicks and “BOOM” headshots.

So goes the balance, so goes the game. I’ve watched the server slowly die off over the last couple of months. I heard over and over again from veteran players , “I’m taking a break from TF”; “I’m playing other games”, “I just don’t feel like playing any TF.” I’ve only really heard these types of complaints, in mass, after the Solider/Demo Update.

I’m pretty upset by this unfortunate turn of events. TF2 was my favorite game OF ALL TIME! Never have I had as much fun playing a game as I did with TF2.  So many good times. So much history. It’s very unfortunate it had to end this way. It’s equivalent to one of the majmar members passing away. It really feels like losing a good friend.

I’m not starting a petition.  I’m not posting on any forms. I’m putting my money were my mouth is. I quit. Frankly, like so many other players, I simply don’t want to play the game anymore. It really hasn’t been fun in months and therefore I can no longer ask majmar members to continue donating to a server no one is using. C’est la vie.

P.S. NO, THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS THING. God damn timing….

The above is a picture of the epic fail of Bluedeath’s graphic card. Since he electrocuted his rig, and let the magic smoke out of his computer (which we all know makes computars worky-work) he’ll be out for the next few days. Feel free to use the comment section to mock him or send your condolences.

More shots:

Moved our web-host. The site should be must faster now. Also, trying out a new theme. Let me know what you think.

[Boot Note]
Yes, I know the ShoutBox is broken. I’m working on it.

[Boot Note Note]
Um…OK, back to old site I guess.

In fact the whole weapon is broken. Which is surprising because you would have thought Valve learned it’s lesson from the pyro update fiasco. Health buffs are not good for TF2.

Now, before you start flipping out that the Targe isn’t a health buff, remember damage reduction IS a health buff. It’s the worst kind of health buff because it’s hidden. Even worse it’s a health buff versus certain classes. The whole thing is just stupid!

In fact the Targe should be a hat, the charge ability should be applied to the Eyelander, which in turn should loose it’s head collecting buff (though the head meter should stay), and look all problems solved. Balance is returned to the universe. Hell, I bet people would start using the Scottish Resistance (which should have been the Secondary Un-lockable in the fist place.)

So, I’m running a mod that disables the Targe and we’ll see how it goes.
