personally i say give out invites to people with 1000+ lobbies so we never have to visit that site again!!!

2) requires coding but i am not sure how viable it is…putting ‘experience’ requirements on certain classes! Could be a built in thing for the site or at the discretion of the lobby maker. For the built in option, you have to play 5/10 of these new lobbies or something before you can medic (admittedly you would bring this in after a period otherwise no-one would be able to play medic ever!).

or maybe a request system, in which you can still attempt to play medic but you have to request the slot from the lobby leader and make sure it’s okay first, like you wouldn’t get put into the slot until the leader confirms it?

Take a look at the “Class restrictions and slot reservations” paragraph on http://blog.tf2center.com/2013/07/new-features.html.

To surmise: yes, this is in place. Restrictions are placed at the lobby leaders discretion, on number of lobbys total, reliability, or number of hours of TF2 played (or some combination of these)

Ah I see, apologies I hadn’t spotted that, I have now read all that stuff. A lot of the ideas are great, I hope you can put it all together. GL

How could we get our hands on the closed beta as it is invite-only? Will you invite only the guys you want or you’ll just make some sort of random giveaway of access?

We want to keep the initial beta to people that have been involved in the project behind the scenes, or people we know and trust. We feel they are much more likely to put up with any teething problems and bugs that arise, and we can also trust their feedback to be genuine and not trolling!

We’ll be asking people over the coming week if they’re available to help test when the beta comes up, and if we don’t get enough numbers then we may open it up a little.

Haha Apple and usability….. Like the touchwheel on ipods that doesn’t work in the rain? lol

Let me disagree with you. Design MAKES things work.

No, code makes things work. Design lets it look pretty and is miles less important.

You’re also not apple and are in fact serving an arguably far more difficult audience here. We’ve seen too many projects here that didn’t quite make it, hence we are skeptical. Deliver something that works, that’s all we ask. It doesn’t mattter how pretty it is.

you’re obviously missing the point. of course code is important but people don’t want some ugly irc shit, people want pretty shit that’s easy to use.
