Suggestions to Improve Premium Experience

[danascully]

My first premium purchase expired not too long ago. I frequent the US servers and have enjoyed playing on them (current rank in the 40s I think). Furthermore I would like to purchase a premium account again; however there are certain problems with the experience that have made me hesitant to do that.

1)Even when all of my premium features were turned OFF in premium panel, the physics of the game were still exaggerated. For example, a soldier would hit my feet with a rocket, and instead of just getting juggled a few feet into the air like normal, I would always get juggled across the map. No matter what force multipliers I used (or didn't use) in the premium panel, I was unable to achieve a normal TF2 setting.

2)With all premium features turned OFF in premium panel my speed as a spun-up heavy remained fast. The same goes for my speed when I pulled back on the Huntsman.

Basically, I would have liked to be able to turn EVERY premium advantage off at times (even seemingly minor things like the jumping physics and spin-up speed). I'm the kind of person that likes to spend most of the time without any premium advantages at all.

So those are my simple suggestions for making the premium experience a little bit better for your users.

1.- As far i know the premium system doesn't touch anything related with physics.
2.- The heavy run speed is a bug of the premium plugin which i have to fix.

In the next days im going to get a bit of time to work on the plugin so i can fix those things add some premium features to the new engineer weapons and add a decent voting system.

i was thinking about this the other day in game, you know how rage is rolled over so that every time you die, you still have full rage?

well then why is it that when you have a full uber, and you die.. you spawn with only 50% again.

it's really not a huge deal because you're already halfway to full without it.
just thought it might be cool if ubers did the same thing as rage.

also, it would be sweet if we could pick up things more often, i don't know if it's because the servers are modded or whatever. but i never ever seem to pick anything up.

Yeah it doesn't display the messages, but you still get the item. Whenever you join a server that isn't NighTeam, it spams the chat with every single message. Last time I joined a different server it showed an entire month's worth of items and several people called me a hacker. The server admin didn't ban me but he wanted the "hack I used".
