We've installed a class limiter today at server #1 to experiment around with.

Currently we have it set at all classes allowed without restrictions, accept of the Pyro.

On each team, 'only' 3 pyro's are allowed at the same time.

We will most likely use this plugin at every future class update on all server to prevent a class flood like in the last couple of updates.

This is VERY good

Woot! Been longing for something like this for a long time.

Very good idea IMHO.

The worst side effect of the Pyro update for me was not that Pyros are too strong now or that I have trouble killing them but that I can't play them myself for my team's sake. Pyro used to be my SECOND most played class before the update... :-(

The sad thing is that people rarely think about the team and some ALWAYS stick to one class no matter what...

Yeah it is pretty annoying, espicially for people that you know are GOOD pyro's, you would much rather have them on your team than a bunch of pyro's that don't know what they are doing. Me, I like playing pyro only on certain maps where I know im good at it and sometimes it annoys me when I can't go pyro on these becasue we have about 5 pyro's, only one of which is any good......oh well, like I have said before, I just set up a sentry and mow em all down

Yep, precisely. I recall playing an Engie right after the update came out - don't remember which map it was but probably a more open one. I dominated THE WHOLE enemy team consisting almost entirely of Pyros except for two people...

What people don't realize is that Pyros are a specialist class - no matter how much Valve has buffed them. Their medium to long-range capabilities are, uhm, limited to say the least. A Scout can take them down easily with his pistol, for God's sake...

I also find it funny how stupid Pyros try to take down sentries with Flare Guns even though it does a base 20 damage without burning and takes away less than one bar of the sentries hitpoints. It is also not that good for retreating enemies because if they are burning anyway the Flare Gun will deal minuscule damage to them and only prolong the burn time which usually won't kill the enemy because he will be heading for the nearest health pack anyway. In open spaces Scouts are probably the best counter to the Pyros if played properly. The are the only class that can outrun a Pyro and do an attack & retreat maneuver while quickly retreating for health packs should they be caught on fire.

I love how my idea was shot down by so many of our community.. yet here it is and everyone is cheering.

See, my vision always comes true

Yeah this is ultimately a good idea. I'll admit it's a little annoying when I go to select the Pyro and the class is filled but it's for the best. Even playing as a Pyro, it's just plain annoying when there are too many of them.

It's good though that this has been introduced. As the remaining class updates come rolling through it would just be frustrating if the servers filled with people trying to get achievements. Imagine the servers being filled with spamming Demomen? Sounds like hell.

And to Lim-Dul. I don't use the flare gun. I think it's a bit crap. I'd rather just blast away with my shotty.

Is there a bug or something? Sometimes when i join a server and select a class I get a message:
"[MaxClass] All slots for {class I selected} are filled"
"[MaxClass] {message i don't remember :p}"
I doesn't affect anything though.

Ye i noticed that yesterday aswell, not sure why it does that

I think it just informs you that the class is filled but since SpA members aren't affected nothing else happens. ^^

I think we only have class limit for pyro though

Ah - you mean you got that on every class? Hmm...

Somehow it just outputs the info to each player when you join and select class (check your chat). It's some minor bug in the plugin which doesn't really do anything.

The Class limits have been set to 4 for every class, if there are 1-24 players online. For 25 or more players 5 of every class will be possible.
