It's definately better to have an official server with ads and low ping than a valve server without ads with 300 ping.

I always got 40-70 ping from valve servers...they are across various locations such as Chicago, Austin, New York, California...

I think people do not seem to know what server they join, or they lack the resources to use a server browser.

Anybody heard any news back from Pinion? About the completion rates.

If they ar working on it for getting it better results.? Got 20% Today again. Whoop Whoop.

Gamers can see indeed on gametracker wich gameservers have Pinion, or can disable them.

Only i think if they set the ads for a max 10 | 15 Seconds hardly anybody will have problems with them.

We got the ads running for a few months now and the only complaints i have had when i upgraded them from 15sec, till nearly 30 atm.

Hi All,

We're going to email all community owners a detailed update this week, but the highlights are:

- Yes it's not yet functioning and the numbers are not accurate. We are working on it.

- If we can't get the update stable in time for February we will be pushing the change back.

We want to be 100% that you guys are getting paid based on true and correct numbers.

Stay tuned for the email within the next 48 hours.

Well... with a 7 second AD load time you will have to be set to 30 to get paid at all next month.

Assuming they fix the calculation... I got my highest completion rate yet yesterday and I know the ads were not even working for at least 7 hours.

Thank you for the update.

I think I'm going to lock this thread, it doesn't serve any purpose different from the existing one, and the poll has clearly run it's course. Content is just being separated.

moxie2020, if you'd prefer them merged together, drop me a PM, although it might look a bit confusing.

These threads have now been merged, sorry if the post order is now confusing for anyone trying to catch up - it should make general sense.
EDIT: And damn forum software for bringing the unremovable poll across.

Rejoice, for the Poll is gone.

We will see howe it will work out, i hope for the best for everybody. It would be nice if it is maxed out,

20 seconds with a completion rate of let's say atleast the 60%, if anybody wants to go up they will need to push the secs at 25 till 30.. For the bigbucks. lol

But we will see the email first with all information about these things soon.

Thanks for that Pinion

Just here to say that I have forced 30 second ads on my players for 1 week now on my 13 tf2 servers and I am only getting an average completion rate of 27%...

Ahermmm!?
