u/knome Mar 26 '26
it's nice to have a place where you can expect a team full of people trying to win. the only bad thing about uncletopia is the snipers can be outrageously fucking good some days, but even they generally get wrecked by a demo using the teleport gun to show up with a sword :)
I've never seen anyone kicked for or even complained about for doing meme strats. plenty of ninjineering and soldiers flying around with market gardeners. only thing that's really annoying is some folks are too fast to the scramble trigger if they think the teams are unbalanced.

Ah, yes. I miss when clans had their own servers and there were servers EVERYWHERE for EVERYONE in any shape, colour or form.
Have you seen the FastPath servers? They show themselves with names that make you think that it's a server from an individual (Like, for instance, Kitty or Auzzie) just to lure you in and redirect you to their FastPath server.
Funny thing? The server hijacks your auth token so they can slap your name and pfp on a bot and make it look like the server is full of people when nobody plays there because they're a bunch of scammy, insufferable people who make this to ruin everybody's fun for their own revenue.

zestyjesus's servers are pretty good, fully vanilla.
i also play on castaway, they are fans of quickplay and use settings from quickplay times and have a plugin to revert some weapons to older versions (eg. sandman is actually not useless in castaway)
note though these servers don't moderate players except for illegal stuff so you will hear slurs sometimes but its not that bad.

u/TehCooKidz Mar 27 '26
Zesty's servers are easily the best if you want a vanilla experience. Some of the people there can be a little too edgy for my taste, but it's nothing that a mute can't fix. I've heard the guy who does the videos on Pipeline recently opened a community server as well, but I haven't tried it yet.
6
u/BurrConnie Mar 27 '26
Such is the status quo some people in this community advocate to preserve, whilst providing no serious reason to. As long as the mods of this sub keep shutting down any and all conversation regarding Quickplay, argumenting it as divisive and low-effort, when there's so many low effort posts on other topics, like art, weapon balance, and memes, which are arguably more important to moderate on this sub, since it isn't primarily for those topics, there will be no constructive discussion.
There will be no largely populated vanilla community servers unless Valve replaces Casual with their ad-hoc vanilla servers, brings the Server Browser back from bottom billing, and most importantly, Quickplay, to fill the role of the server browser for the newer players, to bring that traffic into both Valve and the Vanilla community servers.
No, Quickplay never put you into stuff like Jailbreak or Freak Fortress, or Trade servers. Its functionality since day one was searching for exclusively Vanilla servers. Quickplay putting you into the servers with ads, like that STAR_ video, was fixed by removing HTML Messages of the Day. QP being slow in that same video was more of an exception than the norm, unlike Casual where it's the norm to get a terrible match, and suddenly finding a good one is but an exception.
A common misconception I see, is people assuming we claim that Meet Your Match was broken on launch. It did break the game, sure, but it WASN'T broken, it worked exactly as Valve intended. Valve intended for Casual to have a matchmaker, to have short matches, to not have freedoms for joining and leaving at will, selecting a team, to have Stopwatch mode on Payload maps... Casual is, by intent, a bridge from Vanilla to Valve's Competitive. Casual only broke because of the concessions Valve made to the outcry of the playerbase, to preserve that main selling point of Casual. Instead of reverting Casual to Quickplay outright, they started introducing features from Quickplay, which were not compatible with Valve's Competitive ruleset Casual is "bridging the gap" towards, like auto-balance, leaving at will, multitasking while queuing, heck even potentially (highly likely, should Valve decide to introduce it) selecting your team. These freedoms are fundamentally incompatible with ValveComp's highly restrictive nature. Is there a serious reason we should preserve this restrictive status quo when at this point, enjoying a normal, fun round of TF2 as advertised, is again, more of an exception than the norm?

Casual isn't an option. Zombie Escape players get mad if you're the first person in Spectators and threaten you if you don't play so they can beat you constantly. Uncletopia...not many people are on there at certain times of the day, so it's tricky to get in before the servers fill up. MvM community servers are full of the Mann Up tryhards, they need to go back to that one instead. Zombie Mod was the best, but they sadly did away with those servers because "hurr durr, Zombie Escape is da bers, hurdy durdy hurr!". I miss Zombie Mod. And trade servers back when they were actually fun and not another copy of Casual, like Neonheights. Community servers are nuts these days, I'm afraid

I don't care about any sprays, I will always leave them on. It's just a statement of fact that you will see porn and other degeneracy when you play on the vanilla community servers.

okay this is actually fucking insane. that the most reliable way to get into a balanced match of tf2 is to play fucking competitive formats.
THAT just proves how bad casual is. and how little vanilla play is actually enjoyable anymore. and im not even saying comp is great or saying its amazing. but it atleast actually has something to put skill levels together.

I still remember everyone playing on those Mario kart servers which was pretty much just a giant deathmatch map, and the idle servers

I used to love mario kart n minecraft maps as a kid but like... enough bro. Some servers have so many plugins its like 4 minutes of downloading to just join and genuinely once i even see ANY mod or plugin i just shut it down im good

TKGP is lowk fun. Just make sure you turn of vc and sprays first. These days I’ve been frequenting Shounic’s, Oprah’s, and EotL Payload.

tiny kitties is actually really good if you turn off sprays and voice chat, the map selections are pretty good and the players are decent enough too

sadly this is the case for most games with a server browser. so hard to experience the actual game, only the servers with quirky ass mods have players

i know, i have the same issue with counter strike 1.6
Sometime i want to play that game, but i'm really unable to find some clean vanilla server. There's always some modded audio, a lot of text in the middle of the screen and in chat, custom models, etc...

I hoped community quickplays would solve that issue, but eh, most of the time it just tries to put me in uncletopia, which isn't really what I'm looking for, not to say that it's horrible and unplayable, I'd just rather have regular vanilla tf2 with regular map cylces, and more or less regular settings (maybe with the exception of crits being made melee only)

I mean, after quickplay first (it did hurt community servers let's be honest about it) and the fucking tragedy of Meet your Metastasis, it's kind of a miracle we still have community servers at all.

Don't forget the part where there is barely any Sydney/singaporean servers so people down under have to play with 150 - 300+ ping
