Boss Buffs
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...
- 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.
- Boss HP reduced.
- Backstab damage increased from 4% -> 5%.
- Sniper damage increased. Headshots 120% -> 150%, bodyshots 50% -> 75%

Recently an old version of the TF2 source code has been leaked which has spurred rumors about hackers being able to run code on player's computers.
We have examined the evidence presented so far and believe that the rumors are so far indeed rumors. But even though it is highly unlikely that the exploit exists, it is still a non-zero possibility so it is up to you to decide whether or not to play TF2 until Valve makes an official statement.
We will not be shutting down our servers until there is solid proof that an exploit exists. So far everything we've seen come from easily faked screenshots. It should also be noted that the source code was already leaked back in 2012 and nothing much came from it. We also have inside sources in the TF2 hacking community (who discovered the spray crash) who have said that no one knows of an exploit and that fake screenshots and videos were being posted "for the lulz"....

Last night around 5:30 AM EDT 9:30 AM GMT, a DDoS attack got through our filters and managed to down our anycast servers.
The attack has since then been patched, and additional rate limits have been added to prevent unblocked attacks from downing all the servers.

We have disabled sprays on all servers.
There is an exploit that allows you to crash the server. Since Valve does not use sprays on official servers, it is unlikely they will fix this issue.
