Re: Assessing results of the two-engie limit on TV-VI-Dustbo
I think that with no engy cap whatsoever, it'd be a world better than with a cap of 2. As with any class, if you over do it, you're going to be weakened elsewhere and will get stomped. I'd rather have my team lose because we didn't pick a good class balance than because we didn't have the option to pick the right one.

This, this, and more this.I think that with no engy cap whatsoever, it'd be a world better than with a cap of 2.

Having more than two engies on any given stage of dustbowl for either team is (usually) a bad idea that will hold the team back. But there are those moments when someone switching to engy for 30 seconds to help set up a gun or upgrade a teleporter can be extremely important in a hold/push and is why the limit needs to be raised back.

Re: Assessing results of the two-engie limit on TV-VI-Dustbo
Too much regulation is what kills servers, though I don't think that will happen to TV6. If a team wants to go engi-overboard, let them.
I am with Alizee on this where he mentioned the TV6 players are the ones voting for it to be removed, and those are the most relevent votes.
My last words for this thread; Consider 3 sentries a challenge to your teamwork capabilities. I've taken out 3 sentries in one uber, so can you, and how often do you need to take out all 3 by yourself anyways? GO TEAM!!!FORTRESS!!!

This is the problem we have. The limit is preventing us from helping the team.I am a mummy wrote:But there are those moments when someone switching to engy for 30 seconds to help set up a gun or upgrade a teleporter can be extremely important...
The nature of the map, being simple and the training map novices first play means that we get a lot of new players. The nature of the Engi class, being attractive to novices means that invariably we get many players who need a helping hand.
When we calmly, politely explain to a novice Engineer what to do, we're met with "STFU!", "LOL, u mad?" or just flat out being ignored. It's damn frustrating. The regulars have seen it, the admins have seen it.
Let us help again. Not by telling players what to do, but by doing it.

Re: Assessing results of the two-engie limit on TV-VI-Dustbo
Noticed the change this morning while playing. We got stopped by RED who did a good job protecting their 3 engis, but we also lacked explosive power and a second medic, came close tho!
Thanks for listening to the input on this thread and making the change.
Edit: oh......well, either way! lol

I don't think it was changed, the update broke Sourcemod and the class limits are only one of several things that are broken until SM gets compatible.

Re: Assessing results of the two-engie limit on TV-VI-Dustbo
I've not seen one real TV6 regular that agrees with the engy limit.
I challenge one person who really spends time at TV6 to make a compelling case for this limit.
the only posters that I've seen play often on TV6 are: ghob, mummy, crusty, snidely, parade, and myself. All of us, except ghob, want the limit removed.

I was initially in favor of the limit when it was imposed but would actually like to see it removed now.

Re: Assessing results of the two-engie limit on TV-VI-Dustbo
I'm with Soltan on this. Having played more tv6 lately, it is nice to get to Dustbowl on the rotation server and actually have 3 engis if our team wants. It almost always ends up being 2 engis and a 3rd person at the start to upgrade teles. Even then, its usually only on the 2nd or 3rd maps.Soltan wrote:I was initially in favor of the limit when it was imposed but would actually like to see it removed now.

Crusty's Closing Rant
I think this thread was way more accurate as to the sentiment on TV6 amongst the regulars. A lot of us thought the 2 Enige limit was a good thing at first.
I cannot tell you how many times I've went to grab a wrench to either get the teles upgraded, knock off a sapper or get a sentry up under fire and been denied a slot. When one Engie was a novice, we could pick up the slack before. Play Engie for a bit, help out. Not anymore.
I mean this when I say it, I'll take the chance of attacking into three Wranglers on stage 3. If RED wants to go that route, then fine. I'd rather have that than constrict the team's choices. We're not talking about the Spy and Sniper limit here. Engie is can be very useful on Dustbowl, especially when someone just switches for a minute to help.
Competitiveness is down. I know, like any other man who's 2nd most played class is Trout Scout, that The Ville is not about competition. But after we Uber onto BLU's point, we know for a fact they won't have more than 2 sentries, if that. Not having the threat of a third, hidden sentry makes a big difference. Hell, we don't blindly run into that third sentry anymore. Which was fun.
As I first stated, this thread, not the votes, best reflect the people's will. Look at those who have withdrawn their initial 2 Engie suggestion after some playtime (as evidenced in recent posts). The decision of Soltan to change his mind hits me like his latent crit Ubersaw from 12 feet away. And look at the praise Earthworm James heaped on the Ville head cheeses! Only to be denied. How embarrassing!

Re: Assessing results of the two-engie limit on TV-VI-Dustbo
Quick update:
The engineer limit is currently under re-evaluation to see if it will remain at two, or be bumped back to three for the class limit. I just wanted to let you guys know what we appreciate the feedback and that your posts do not go unnoticed.
I can't speak to the time frame, but we will have an update for you when progress is made on how to proceed.
