"Look, the police aren't going to believe im a robot for long..."

I don't even play the Soldier that often, but his character is hilarious.

Can't wait to see what the costumes are.

DFC server has been updated, and should be running the halloween mapcycle. I'm still waiting on my patch to finish downloading to let me play.

[Shadowlord]

The update! It will not download!

[Metalax]

Try quiting completely out of steam and restarting it. That has fixed it for most people who don't have it downloading. Failing that try a reboot of your computer.

Edit: Downloaded and.. oh god missiles everywhere!

[Shadowlord]

I updated to the beta client and restarted, and that got it going at 500 KB/s or so, and it only paused itself once after that, instead of downloading at less than 10 KB/s and pausing frequently or giving up prior to my doing that.

I still have to wonder why it pauses itself for no reason, though it was doing far worse before I updated to the beta client and restarted it ("This game is currently unavailable. Please try again at another time.").

[Metalax]

I had it pause twice during the download as well for no apparent reason. had tohit resume to get it going again.

Could we password-lock the server for awhile? I'm annoyed by the steady stream of non-english speaking pubbies who start blasting away as we try to pile into the reward portal. I want to farm costumes, dammit.

Standard DFC pw?

I hate constantly being killed while trying to kill the eye for the book. It was enough to make me say 'oh fuck this' and quit. This was on a private server where everyone generally is nice to each other when it's obvious we're working for something.

The Loot Island Portal only gives you the Bombinomicon, costumes come from the presents, right? I made it to the reward skull thing 3 times and only got the book.

[Metalax]

yes you only get bombinomicon from loot island. you should also have a usable cauldron in your backpack that will give you the seal mask + a random costume piece.

[Shadowlord]

The randomly spawning gifts that give the costume pieces were only turned on about 20 minutes ago on the server (or less) - it wasn't registered or something, so they weren't spawning.

I'd support a password lock except for the likelihood that afterwards there wouldn't be enough people on for the gifts or eyethulu to spawn. :V

More useful might be a script that arranged to make sure that the gifts were given out fairly somehow by having a queue. Of course, they spawn pretty frequently and freezing everyone every 5 minutes for 2 minutes while the designated player runs around looking for the gift would be a bit un-fun, especially with the boss out killing people. I suppose if people want that they can go find a server that has it.

This map is a lot smaller than the previous halloween map, much less area to search - but many more players in the same area, you tend to get killed quickly if you try searching for the gift.

I'd appreciate it if people were willing to share the addresses of some of these servers. My luck is to consistently awful for me to get anything otherwise.
