how do people make those little messages in their server games? and how do they make it strictly one of each class?

Hit Esc.
Click Options and type in "Game Server Name"

Just below it is the duplication setting. "Prevent latejoin character duplication"

I would advise against class restriction. It makes you have to do things a different way sometimes. Plus, 4 of a kind is sometimes hilarious (4 scouts on elimination pwns everything, 4 engies on any defense... pwns anything, and they don't even have to shoot their guns). But then again, there is 4 drillers... idk.

Rock & stone anyways.

unfortunately server titles arent very useful because most people prefer to use quick join to get into games, which doesnt show you the server title. you can write rules in there if you want but it's more than likely they'll be ignored

you should definitely have latejoin duplication disabled though. it takes effect no matter how someone joins a game, and one of each class is the best way to win any mission. class duping is for leaf lovers

I disagree, the game is balanced to have all 4 classes... more engis/gunners just trivialises the game, having a flamer and cryo is bad, 2 scouts is redundant, etc.

Never used quickjoin... I didn't think anybody did. Is that actually the statistic... or just like your opinion, man? xD

i mean it's a fair hunch. most people prefer matchmaking over server browsers cos it's faster and easier to use. doesn't help that matchmaking is the de facto norm these days

[Bubs]

1700 hours, quick join was never used and I prefer variety rather than same tactics of 4 different classes. That's just my opinion man.

I ALWAYS put class restrictions on

I didn't even know DRG had a quick-join option.
(Server browser FTW regardless)

Never used quick join either, and I firmly believe its existence is a mistake.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist, and thank Karl for that.

Yeah, they removed the quick join option months ago (some time last year, I think).

Honestly having a uniform 4-class team can get broing. Cryo and flamer have awesome synergy when used with good teamwork, insanely efficient temp shock for basically nothing.

Multiple engies? You can build a wall of turrets and watch everything get mowed down. Multiple gunners, the ultimate firepower, great single target AND AoE damage. Double miniguns are fun too. Having extra scouts means you never need to throw a flare again and you can get both IFGs and cryo nades at the same time.

Class duplication is awesome, hands down. Some of the most fun I've been able to have in this game.

Some of my best DRG fun in recent memory was when I mowed down an EDD in a 4 Gunner stack with a bunch of randoms.
