Pre-Round Kills

[JerryCantrell 1]

Would it be possible to boot people from the server who put stickies under the door, and burn people? I've been on other servers where if you cause any damage to the other team before the server starts, you get an insta kick from the server. I know its relatively petty, but annoying none the less when right before a round starts a pyro comes up and burns the offense waiting at the gate, etc.

That and make the perma team switch stick for more than 5 minutes.

Of course it would be possible. But it's not a real solution. A real solution would be if Valve fixed it.

See if people get annoyed by this, they will complain on Steam forums and since Valve is really lazy... they need to see lots of complaints before they bother fixing something.

That and make the perma team switch stick for more than 5 minutes.

That's an idea I already considered once, but there's some adjustments that will be made to this before the timer gets increased .

I concur with the fact that it is not a real solution, but its one that would stop people from doing it quite quickly on the Lotus servers. Plus, I'd love you forever if you did that. :-)

Cheers.

That issue has been like that in tf2 for....forever.

I am not sure what you mean about the stickies, I am fairly sure that any stickies issues on maps have been fixed. I have not seen anyone getting kills in setup with stickies.

Pyro on the other hand has had that issue for a while.

It seems almost a moot point since to fix it, just don't stand near the gate? Theres no reason you need to be sitting at the gate anyways.

Anyhow. Chances are if valve hasnt fixed it now, its not going to get fixed. You probably dont know this, but theres still many server crash and other exploit vulnerabilities in tf2. Valve cant fix things that crash the server, Id doubt they care about some gate exploit that catches people on fire.

They can, but they are super lazy and don't bother :/.

You can still kill people behind the gate with stickies but its harder than before. I have seen some people pyro taunt kill through the gates too.
