The problem with medicing in pickup1 is that it’s always your fault. Your team doesn’t blame the scouts for not covering the flanks, or the soldiers for not positioning themselves properly, trying to push when you have 80% uber, etc. Plus, if your soldiers only use their mic to tell you that you’re a horrible medic, then your morale will go down.
(Protip: If it gets that bad, just taunt in front of them while they spam the medic button. Make the F*$kers rage moar.)
The pickup2 community is smaller and there is a much better baseline skill. Add on top of that: semi-regular comms. Medic becomes a bigger pleasure to play.
Since it’s a class that relies almost 100% on other people, you might as well be healing your friends, not strangers.
P.S. – It’s summer. Many people are away. Don’t do what I do and post on forums and stay inside all day. Go out and see the world!
P.P.S. – Still nobody cares about #tf2.playtest.pickup? Bring that channel back and you’ve got yourself a full time medic.
Poor Largos and playtest!
To be honest, if you medic pickup1 without knowing atleast 9-10 of the players, you’re an idiot and you only have yourself to blame if it goes wrong :p
pickup2 on the other hand is fine, i’ve never had problems there, apart from maybe with one guy thinking i’m way too much of a tard but he has no choice, he’s not gonna play medic himself so whatever.
You use best judgement, if your demo is being a nub, keep tags on the soldiers more. It only takes one round to work it out, if people whine at the first hurdle, tell them either to stfu or leave them at the bottom of the heal priority pile.
Medicing isn’t that bad in pickup2, if you are man enough to deal with actually not having the ability to go frag-own a team :p
I would happily medic a lot more in p2 if certain people weren’t always playing and raging at a pickup as if it’s the UKeSA Prem finals (while probably playing as pyro at the same time).
Seriously, it’s just for a bit of fun/relaxation. There are too many people who shit it up. And it’s not even a medic thing, it shits it up for the entire team that has to endure that person for 30 minutes of their leisure time.
Yep indeed, if do go medic in P2 its a thankless task you just get abuse from some jumped up twats, kodyl seems the worse for whineing, does my head in.
End of the day why *would* anyone want to go medic? :p Most people rage at you if you make one mistake.
The way i see of making the pickup popular is to have 12 slots and a further 2 medic slots, but only allowing 12 of those 14 slots to be filled.
Example = 11 people have said !add and 1 person has said !med. then the pickup closes and obviously that 1 person goes medic and another medic is chosen at random, and they have to play medic no arguements :p.
Or if 12 people say !add then in that instance 2 medics are chosen at random.
Simples.
I stopped playing because it’s shit, might have to go back to the german pickup room to have any fun

That would actually be a nice system.

we miss you in there oggy come back =(
Believe it used to be that way Tapley (2 meds at random) and it was changed to this system for a reason.
For some reason my p2 (and p1) medding experiences have only really been positive. Guess I just have fun while playing it, something a lot of others seem incapable of ;p Just be nice and friendly and people seem to also have a good time.
I like to medic, you get to chat a lot of shit.
Thanks :)

Hmm as far as i remember it was more like ” LOL LAST ONE ON THE SERVER GOES MEDIC!”
And keeping the system the way it is still dosnt address the lack of medics problem, i dont really like playing medic but if someone said i’ll have to every 1 in 6 games due to the randomization like i suggested i dont think that would put me off at all
What are the different pickup irc channels? I have a load of free time so I might forgive pickups and give one another go at some point.
A system similar to the captain system in invite would probably be appropriate. If you want to go medic, then !med. If not, the spots will remain empty, when the pickup fills the bot will either randomly assign people to medic, or possibly a system based on who’s played the least medic or such.
The old system of LOL LAST ON SEVER IS MEDIC1/!! was plain stupid, please, let’s not have that back :p
I med when there aren’t a bunch of whining pansies already added and I feel in the mood for not having to sweat my ass off while playing. It’s usually graaand. And if someone starts spazzing like a ham at me I just get needlessly agressive and abusive towards them when they do it, and it all works out grand :>
also I’m pretty sure the randomer goes med suggestion was thoroughly shot down a while ago. I can see it going *really* wrong, tbf. Unless admins with banhammers were ever-present.
You sure do :D
