Eh, even 200 ping is perfectly playable. I was doing pretty nicely as a Scout once on 200, and it wasn't because I'm extraordinarily good as Scout.
Seriously though, unless your ping is skyrocketing, there isn't really any difference.

I had to remove several posts of a homophobic derail.

Let me know if there is more trouble.

I get around 160 on DFC usually, which is the highest ping I ever bother playing with. It's doable, but it makes backstabs/etc a bit of a crapshoot. I have one server favourited where I consistently get <10 ping, usually around 5 and sometimes down to 1 or 2. It is, apparently, right next door or something. Anything under 50 is unnoticeable for me, though.

I had to remove several posts of a homophobic derail.

Besides one of the posts using one or two choice words in an inappropriate context, I don't remember much homophobia in the posts in question... Ah well, nothing of value was lost.

It was just rage, but I wasn't being Homophobic. Don't know who or care why, but I have seen worse then what I had said left alone as what it was, Rage....

It was probably me, I shouldn't have quoted someone word for word.

Anyways, I've made the transition from CTF play into CP play and I am liking it. CP maps seem to include a lot more teamwork so I can actually play the fun classes like Gunslinger Engineer and still make a big contribution to the team. When people start to rally together to make a push on the points, focus firing the enemy heavy/medic pairs into oblivion, it's glorious!

Is it just me or does the Kritzkrieg seem to charge much quicker than usual.

It's always charged faster than the standard medigun as it's ubercharge is slightly less powerful, thought still pretty useful. It's best used when no one has noticed you and whoever you are using it on is about to shoot some enemies, though you might as well use it anyways when the shooting starts even if you've been spotted.

You used homophobic, graphic, sexually oriented language, and if Toadyone had been the one to catch you, you'd have been muted for a week.  Something to think about.

I don't know why anyone would use language that implies they're afraid of people.

So, in other news, any speculations on the Christmas event?

I can understand hating crates, but keys? WHY?

Because it feels like an unnecessary cash grab. They should have just had the keys as a rare drop instead.

How do you think 'free to play' would work? there is no 'pay to win' in any way.  I just see it as a tax on stupidity, though i have spent about 10 bucks on crates

Naw, "Homophobic" is a buzzword that can mean either any insult calling sexuality into question, or any dissaproval of militant homosexual activists.

Honestly, WHY!? Why not pick a better word? Plenty of buzzwords for the cause of the day are less misleading...

I wrote a long reply, but I realized that I shouldn't further derail this.

You must live in a strange and terrifying world. Here, go join your people and leave this thread.

On the subject of keys, I did some math. You can give yourself a 99.99% chance to get an unusual hat by opening about 700 crates. The interesting thing is that if 10000 TF2 players do that, there will statistically be 100 players that get no hats at all...
