Declined Remove crits and spread

[Fluffo The Medic]

Hello. Could you please disable random crits and damage spread?
It is very disturbing when you use your scatter and only half of the bullets hits your taget!
Same when a pyro gets random crits1

The scattergun is a short range weapon what are you doing

Also, no.

 

[CiNiC]

Oh, to be young...

Skial servers get considerable amount of traffic through the quickplay feauture, and the servers need to comply to some rules.

"In particular, these server tags (sv_tags) will disqualify a server:
friendlyfire
respawntimes
nocrits
norespawntime
nodmgspread
highlander
noquickplay"

The Scatter is both short and long range?

Thank you for telling me that, even though you can set custom sv_tags and the servers will still be in the quickplay "circle"

The Scatter is both short and long range?

Oh you can totally use it at long range.
It'll be doing about 3 damage instead of 100 though.

And yes it seems you can make the server avoid quickplay requirements and still be classified as quickplay, but if Valve finds out they'll "penalize the server and remove it from the quickplay pool"

Besides, if Skial took away spread and crits, I'd get bored quick and probably drift to some other server where there aren't high-powered long-range scattergun scouts.

The Scatter is both short and long range?

No, it is not. The Pistol is used for long range.

 

[Fluffo The Medic]

I can get good meatshots with scatter on long range as long as the dmg spread is disabled

We used to have a nocrit, nospread server. No one ever played on it except when CiNiC convinced people to come play with him. It got turned into Turbine Pro, which no one played, and now it's coldfront. So I'll just decline this now as to not get your hopes up.

While crits are disabled in a lot of competitve matches, it's just a percentage based on the damage you're dealt, which is a reward for doing a lot of damage. The spread is so you can't kill a heavy from 30 yards away as a scout with a scatter gun. That's what a pistol is for.
