I think it might be a good idea if you could somehow add a function (a little bit like the filter) so that the website makes some kind of text-to-speech sound if a specific class becomes available...

 

For example: I want to play as a med in a EU HL (even pl?) lobby. Instead of just waiting and doing something else and then going back to the site to check if that specific slot is available (It's even possible that I already missed a chance of getting in a slot), it would be very handy to make the site call out "medic slot open" or something if the class becomes available that you've set in some kind of filter ...

 

I hope that you do get what I mean, my English isn't all that good...

 

 

Ah well, keep up the great work!

I've seen this idea before though I cannot find the related thread (it was probably part of another discussion).

 

Basically, you want to have some setting such that when your class+region+gamemode+map(?) opens up, there's a sound bite (there are plenty of sound clips where the mercenaries call out for spies by naming the classes; so that's covered).

The original idea was to automatically put the person in the slot, but there are both technical and design issues with that.

This is nice because it doesn't force anyone to do anything, it simply provides information. It's a pain if you're pubbing to have to go back to the lobby page every 30 seconds.

The devs won't deal with this issue, partially because it would reduce the amount of offclass that goes on (and TF2C loves/needs offclassing).

However, they might invite the community to put something together.
