Not wanting to be a dick, but all the complaining will get you nowhere. Personally I cannot think of any company that communicates so much with the server ops as VALVe and that provide so much long term support on their games.
Granted, it can be highly frustrating sometimes, but it always works out in the end, and their main goal always seems to be to please as much people as possible, which is fine to me. On days like this when stuff is unstable and half working, I just inform the community and go mind me some other business. Things will get sorted after the weekend.

But I too like yourself did not want to really get involved in the MvM event as 95% of my servers run something else and are 100% unstable at the moment. Hurts player count, hurts server reputation for being stable just to be light on criticizing the current situation. My biggest beef right now is here we are 1pm Saturday afternoon and not another word on fixing the current problems which apparently due to a failed attempt still haunt us and we will likely not see a patch till Monday at the earliest. -----Original Message----- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Weasel Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2012 12:59 PM To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Lots of core-dumps lately on TF2 What I find sad about this particular event, is that I am not even trying to participate in any of this MvM crap. I have no interest in it at all. I also have no interest in any of the match-making crap either - and am not trying to participate in that at all either. That's my own real complaint. Beyond that, "its a game, get over it" I am generally/mostly/usually Ok with. I really do hate this whole mailing-list format for discussions too. I find it confusing to read through, and the formatting on everything seems gets really weird further into the threads - making it hard to read. Consequently, as far as those other "400+" messages that had been mentioned (probably a slight exaggeration) ... I read maybe half a dozen. I wish this was via some forum-type system. I'd settle for a Steam Community forum. Although I suspect if it was on Steam Community non-server operators will be filling it up with less relevant discussions. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
