Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

I'm willing to give F2P a shot. I mean, a lot of people complain that the newbies are everywhere, but I don't mind that. It makes my mediocre playing skills look better by comparison. XD

However, the fact that it is now readily available to anyone who can download it is rather irritating... To illustrate what I mean, here's an anecdote of a recent experience of mine.

there was this kid who sounded like, 11. and he kept asking people to trade him because, and I quote, "My sniper sucks. Can someone give me a new one?" So, the obvious reaction from everyone on the server was to teach him the key combo on how to open the trade menu- Alt+F4. so that didn't work. Not for lack of trying, but he didn't get how to hold down the buttons. Then he just started screwing everyone's name up. right around that point he assumed someone who had "garbage" in their name was black, then flipped out when someone called him racist. someone asked him if he wanted to come to the costume party where everyone dresses up in white robes.He said yes.at that point his brother... er... sorry, to use his word, his "Bruther tuk away his microphone" and I had to log off.

Now. The major complaint I have that this shows is that since anyone can get it, that "M" rating it gets doesn't mean anything, and even the kids whose parents actually care about the ERSB can get the thing, since they don't need mommy and daddy to pay for the game. As I said. I'm all for new players- but give me at least a 14 year old. Please. I don't think my ears can take much more of pre-pubescent screaming coming out of my headphones.

If valve wanted to make money, make the option to mute certain people a premium benefit. People would buy that so fast it would crash steam.

Oh no, 15 bucks. The horror.
Can't mute these noobs because I can't actually buy the game I play free.


Also Crash :( oh yeah forgot about that.

Yeah, I never have voice chat turned on unless I'm playing either on the temple server or at the very least with people I know. That sort of thing's just a generic ground rule with FPSes.

Fighting/music games, on the other hand, from my experience people tend to be pretty chill and awesome on. Though you'll get the kiddies on music games sometimes, but even when you do they're nowhere near as annoying as the FPS kiddies.

Honestly I don't run into too many people whom I have to mute here, I generally keep it on. But the button's always there when I need it.

Would anyone be interested in scheduling a match night using the private server? Since we usually have, like, four people on if we're lucky, it might be a cool idea to schedule a time so everyone knows when to show up.

Sounds like an excellent idea. Also, I'm with Crash on this one; if you need a coach to get some actual advice on how to play a class (no offense but Valve your Training doesn't really teach them about the game other than how everything works) come find me or him. I prefer Scout and Spy, myself, but I've put about 400 hours into the game so I know every class like the back of my hand. Don't hesitate to ask about weapon sidegrades or stuff like that either; if you have a question I'll answer it, whether it's how "good" it is, where it's situationally appropriate, when it doesn't really matter, and what goes well with it.


Actually, I'm going to go ahead and make myself a userbar.

I was surprised that the training mode didn't feature all of the classes. =/ That was disappointing because I felt it left out some of the classes which are more forbidding to noobs. I'm mainly trying to learn how to use Sniper and Spy, so if I need help, I'll holler. I've read up on the theory for using the latter; I think it's more a matter of practice.

Practice is everything. Also training was to get you used to the classes that have all the specialty weapons; the soldier is the perfect intro to the others anyway because no one else uses custom weapons; they're all guns and stuff.

I think they're working on implementing training modes for more classes eventually. At first it -only- had Soldier.

Nothing to siege here, move along.

So I should have a new mouse in about 5 or so days. Once I do I'll start TF2ing. Been wanting to play it forever, but whenever I had money it was used for other things that I deemed more important.

imho the only other class that really needs an introduction is the scout, with a spychecking tutorial for the pyro. Actually, there should be a little minigame where you have a whole bunch of people on your team, and you have to kill the spy, but you don't have fire, so you either have to spot his irregular pattern or bump into him. Maybe a medic protecting tut for the heavy.

So I've been wanting to play this more often but it appears that the mouse I'm using is dying, it keeps " Shutting" itself off in the middle of gaming sessions and usually at the worst possible time to ಠ_ಠ

BTW I've had my display name set to "Isaac's Beard" so if you see that floating around.. thats me >.>

It's a shame the proof of purchase looks bad on half the classes; the Heavy looks downright obese D:
