The EU server will be down tonight which includes all EU TF2 servers, the forum, donation, and item system.

The host has notified us the CPU is overheating.

Expected downtime is around 15 minutes but could last as long as an hour.

• 7 AM GMT
• 2 AM EST
• 11 PM PDT

Due to an increase in disruptive anti-server behavior especially on the Deathrun servers, we have added these 2 rules.

• Complaining about the rules or enforcement of rules for more than 1 minute in-game. Complaints should be posted on the forums instead.
• Fake admin quotes

Please make sure you know and follow the rules https://www.skial.com/threads/server-rules.136/

Our host has notified us the NY and LA servers will be rebooted tonight or tomorrow night for security updates.

• 1:30am Eastern Time
• 12:30am Pacific Time

Downtime will be approximately 15-60 minutes.

Boss Buffs

• Boss attack speed increased by 30%.
  
• Boss move speed increase from 340-410 to 340-420 (based on missing hp).
• Hale knockback taken reduced 0.5 -> 0.4
• HHH knockback taken reduced 0.5 -> 0.4
  
• Bunny knockback taken reduced 0.7 -> 0.5
• All other boss knockback taken reduced 1.0 -> 0.8
• Knockback taken in air reduced 0.8 -> 0.3
• Heavy HP bonus reduced 150 -> 100.

Since the boss is more dangerous, these nerfs were needed.

• Boss HP reduced.
  
• Backstab damage increased from 4% -> 5%.
• Sniper damage increased. Headshots 120% -> 150%, bodyshots 50% -> 75%
• Airblast cooldown from pyros removed. Airblast will only push bosses away every 2 seconds.

These changes were needed as boss win rates have been low (10-30%) for many years with 1/3rd of the server having boss disabled. The strange thing was that it was always this bad since 1.55 which we were on for over 5 years when I did not make any balance changes, we just used...
