Random Crits

[Dominus]

I'm not too sure where to post this or whether this has been debated extensively. Sorry if that is the case.

I play on the slayboxes whenever I play TF2. People complain about crits on all of them. People get mad about random crit rockets gibbing them at 100%. When someone gets a random crit, they don't break into song. They go "sorry," or "oh, alright" and move on.

Why do we have random crits, if no one likes them?

[Vetos]

Because the ones who complain seem to be the vocal minority.

Granted, it's no fun getting gibbed by a crocket despite being at full health (or with some classes, even fully buffed), but it's a fundamental part of the game. And mind you, random crits aren't even fully random. The chances of rolling crits just get higher based on the amount of damage you've recently inflicted, up to a certain threshold. Complaining about random crits is just as silly as complaining about damage spread. Which is probably more random than random crits anyway.

tl;dr - haters gonna hate

Random crits add spice to the game, I like them.

sb2 used to be noncrit, but it didnt pop as well as sb1. personally i dont like random crits, but in this case random crits are necessary to fill the server

[Jettrax]

As typical tf2 players go. I hate getting killed by random crits but then when i kill someone with another random crit i laugh my ass off. Its the natural balance of Hypocrite that i experience.

[WHAMbulance]

I personally hate them. Anything random that results in me dying, I'm not a fan of.

Buuuut more people like them then hate them, and they pop servers.

TL;DR meh

[xbawkzes]

When I get hit by a crit:
"Oh you lucky fucker. Decent kill."

When I kill with a crit:
"HAHAHA FUCKING EAT THAT YOU SHIT HAHAHAHA LOOK AT MY SKILLS AND TALENTS. BATHE IN YOUR BLOOD"

activate perma-kritz, bye bye random.

^that.

I wasn't aware that crit servers were easier to pop. It's a totally valid rule if it helps the servers.
I guess I do enjoy it when soldiers send me a nice crit rocket to reflect, and I'd miss crit melee quite a bit.

Because most people do actually like then. You just don't hear them complaining about how much they like them. SB2 use to be a no random crit server, and no one ever played there unless SB1 was full. I also feel they help kill a lot of the "try-hardness" which becomes a problem when people are too srs benusz, which imo is a good thing

its easier to pop because the quick join function only allows players to join the server if it has random crits/spread/damage. if you turn one of those off, the quick join function will hide your server.

But to some people they arnt even trying and people cry try hard.
or other people dont have fun with out trying hard.

Crits allow me to go when that crocket soars past my head and kills everyone behind me.

you do get lucky sometimes if you get a crocket on a heavy

Problem: random crits are making people
Solution: Create a server into one that has literally instant respawns, give everybody ALL CRITS.
Sit back and watch the world burn.


Problem solved

[Trauma Advocate]

I kind of liked the idea of having one server random and one not, but I really dont' mind em either way.

You'll probably see why in a few weeks. ^^;

1. its kinda surprising and therefor fun

2. anything to get more people into our servers and onto our club sandvich board is a must.
