!!!ANNOUNCEMENT!!!I will organize a medic achievement farming session tomorrow (Friday, 2nd May) so that everyone can get all the achievements as soon as possible. But before we go anywhere, I hope that everyone gets the Bedside Manner first, which is to heal someone as he gets an achievement. My idea is to have a medic, and he gets any achievements, and all the other medics chain up behind him. If you don't understand, here's an example:-
Medic (heals)--->Medic(heals)--->Medic(heals)--->Medic(Any achievement)
By this way, it should be possible for multiple medics to gain the Bedside Manner achievement, provided that it can be achieved if you can achieve it by healing a medic that gets Bedside Manner. Hopefully my idea will work, if it doesn't, we just have to do it one by one. Again, I hope that everyone gets the Bedside Manner first, as it will be bad if someone is left with only Bedside Manner, and everyone else already unlocked everything.
It would be a little hard for the members on the other team to communicate, so we will have to take it slowly. Unless Reuben allows allchat with sv_allchat 1. I guess that's it. Here's what I have planned in order to get the best situation possible:-
Teams:- BLU(Helpers) RED(Medics/Helpers)
Map:- Gravel Pit
Helper Classes:- Engineers, Soldiers, Medics, Spies, Demomen, Scouts
Venue:- BolehVPN LYN++ Clan Server
Time:- 6-8pm (See further below for the reason)
I organized the BLU team to consists only of helpers so that it will be easier to know who needs what achievements. Besides that, I hope that the RED medics will get the same achievements before moving on to another. It's more organized that way. If you already got that achievement, feel free to help out anyway possible. Here are the reasons why I choose the map and helper classes:-
Gravel Pit - Short round time for medics to get the "First do no harm" achievements
- The control point takes a while to capture, needed for achievements involving control points
Engineers - Needed for the "Medical Breakthrough" achievement. Build dispensers, entrances and exits. No sentry guns
Soldiers - They can help in the "Medical Intervention" achievement. Also damages themselves for those requiring kills
Medics - Only needed for the "Peer Review" achievement.
Spies - "FYI I am a Medic" and "Hypocritical Oath"
Demomen - Read Engineers above. Can be both BLU or RED
Scouts - "You'll Feel a Little Prick" and "Does it hurt when I do this"
Thats pretty much it. We will be doing it in our very own LYN++ clan server which is password protected to avoid any unwanted guests. The time will be anytime before 8pm, as I will be leaving for Beijing. Hopefully everyone will be present at 6pm or before that. If I happen no leave earlier than expected, or everyone can't show up on time, somebody just take my place. I hope Tomatomanz will inform Reuben of our need to use the server, and also the need of sv_allchat 1. This will make the farming session even smoother. Suggestions are welcome.
I do not hope that everyone wants to get the achievements as fast as possible for themselves and does not cooperate. Teams will be first come first served basis. If you are late to be in RED, go for BLU and help the others out, and I'm sure that they will be glad to help you in return. I also hope that nobody just wants to become a prick and leave the game with excuses right after they get the achievements.
P.S.= Your TF2 stats in your loading screen may get messed up by the free kills while farming the achievements, if you do not wish to do so, you will have to get the achievements yourselves. I doubt that anybody cares though.
