This one has been occurring for the past couple years, it's pretty much expected to have the group member count slowly decrease.

We used to invite players that joined our servers to the Steam group automatically, but after Valve changed its stance on that (in like mid 2013 when they introduced some restrictions on group invites), we've since stopped inviting people to the group.

Do we have a message that automatically invites them to join the group? I dont remember

it always looked like deathrun was always empty

If I were to bet my entire steam account on the server thats always populated, it would be DR 1.

Server relocation, inactivity of veterans (not regulars) causing regulars and thus new players to stop coming into the server, and low popularity is what seems to be the cause. The group members on the steam group page have been going down everyday; hopefully SH recovers.

summer sale isn't gonna make it easy

Edit: Although I guess the last two reasons are the same...

I have a problem
My name is Discharge. I am the last existance of the Mekanos. My family was wiped out by King Sombra. My city no longer exist. I am on my own. I conjure lightning, but not from nature, but from the source of one's powered current. I do hurt others from my ability, I barely cast magic, but I do use my electricity powers to start up machineries, and animate metallic objects into an infantry, like a posessed controllable puppet.

Help pls

Now thats a person that needs help

Dear god anyone who dares use a meme here should be demolished... and put in our shoes.

On a more serious note, isn't it a bit ironic I have a somewhat-daily counseling session with two "patients"?

Isn't it a bit ironic that theres a topic about psychological issues on a game group's forums?

(this is also an attempt to liven the forums up)

I've noticed recently that people have a lot of "issues" lately and that most of our players have quite the "backstory". Should we be helping them? Or should we just ignore them?

I would actually vote to help these people, because frankly, like myself, all they can do to get by is play on TF2 Deathrun or Trade servers. I would even go so far to have a list or something, so we don't end up having a hand in suicides or something...

I'd also like to note that telling these people to "smarten up" or something doesn't help, it's not that easy.

I wouldn't want to see a graph showing the traffic of SH servers in the last couple of months.

Who was this pilot group and how big was the map? Cause whenever a competent person plays as this hale, people just consider the round as being done due to the hales amount of ammo, damage, and ease of movement. I play medic but i dont see how ubering a good player will help with this boss cause most of the time, the boss just rocket jumps away and then back once the uber finishes. If the rockets could be shot down by bullets or he wasnt allowed to rocket jump then that would be one thing, but even for pyros, they can only airblast so fast and he has plenty of rockets to spare. It would seem to me that this boss was build around the idea of having an already built team with classes and jobs already dictated before the round begins. For the most part, the server has some regulars but most of the time its full of random people and even regulars dont always work together. Its not about getting good, it needs to have something done to help the players who cant be promlglookatmydamageimsosick. I get that his health and crit rockets are supposed to seem daunting but i have yet to see a decent player go below 75% for him. The mobility, hp, rocket integrity, or any combination of the above could be altered to give less experienced players a chance. And im sure we are not the only ones who would like to see this boss balanced a bit more.

I'm not even gonna say anything, Hammy just put down the opposition.

unless you wanna chat, have a go :-)
