32 Player Foundry

[Blankward]

Hey guys. Just noticed that 24/7 Foundry upgraded from 24 slots to 32. I think I understand the reason, being that the server ranking has been slipping, and a higher player threshold might help pad the numbers. But I want to be honest and provide feedback. For me, it's not a welcome change.

24/7 Foundry's greatest appeal was it's competitive atmosphere; lots of the regulars were skilled players. TF2 is certainly chaotic by nature, but 16v16 is a different kind of chaotic. It's cramped and obnoxious. I've never had a pleasant experience on a 32 player server.

I'm willing to give it a try, but only for old times' sake. I won't be playing nearly as often as I used to, if any at all, on 24/7 Foundry for as long as it stays 32 slots.

I agree with blankward, 32 player servers get very chaotic. Foundry's competitive atmosphere is what keeps me coming back. Extra players on a map that is already fairly chokey will grind gameplay to a halt. Hoping for a revert.

I am also not pleased with this change.

32 slots also places the server lower in quickplay than 24, if I remember correctly. Correct me if I'm wrong.

We are just doing a test run on 32 slots. If there was any one that would be changed back to 24 it would be Foundry, at least in my opinion

I'm not exactly a fan of 32 slot sentry spam city either...we'll see how it goes

Wish we got some sort of an announcement for this change

It has been reset. Sorry about that.

We were just testing a few things. Foundry will remain 24.

Foundry as 24 is best Foundry.


As a side note, if anyone notices me playing some other game than TF2 and needs someone on Foundry send me a request and I will join.

If you are a foundry regular and haven't friended me please do so if you want someone to play whenever I am on my PC.

Thanks again to all who organize and maintain my favorite TF2 server.

Foundry with anything more than 0 players is best Foundry.

Thanks shaPow! I remember you from the old day Foundry, when it was full 24/7.. you were wrecking me like a little noob

I think you might have me confused with someone who is actually good like Coffin Filler, rottingratfetus, byndley, o'keearns, blankward, etc.

There are a lot of really good players who have been on Foundry for a long time. It has been fun for ages and hopefully it climbs back up the rankings. It would be nice if valve did something to help out good community servers while still keeping the "pay for winning" community servers off the quick play button.

Amen to that.
