For the last 2 weeks every BT server I have seen has been passworded. How are we to test things as a community if we cant even get onto the BT servers? Could perhaps the devs change one or two of the official servers to run BT just so people who arent part of some obscure clique actually get a chance to play?

Because actions speak louder than words, he has decided in his overwhelming wisdom to reinstitute a public bt server. Granted there is only so much time between dota games to set them up properly, so the listing you seek will still hail as 'Monash #3 private bt'. Endar again apologises for this typographical error.
Monash public bt had only just been taken down the day before your unfortunate experience. You just happened to see a bt private that had been specifically requested by pugging players. Endar again apologises
I haven't had problems getting onto public bt servers. However I will see what I can do about maybe getting the Helix server to run as a public bt server when we aren't using it for anything, it's important that everyone is given a chance to try the mod out.
Helix's server is almost always open, we only close it for scrims at around 10 EST. I usually hang around the server trying to start it up, but most of the time we get people going marines and just shooting the skulks trying to practice the new movement, which then kills the server. But if you're willing to tough it out we can usually get a decent match going, at least we'll be able to once they remove this one chair exo nonsense. I'm getting tired of hour long turtles. I strongly dislike the BT but I still know enough about it to help out other people, so you're welcome to hop on and let me teach you.
Gee, I'm so honoured I might explode.
#3 is public BT and has been for a few days now.
Do you know where we are?
ahahahahah.
Judging wholly off Elodeas post I'm assuming the comp players in Australia have had the only active BT mod server passworded so they can circlejerk themselves for hours without any public player scum being casual near them and sustain MF's rampant shit posting about how the BT mod will solve world hunger in these forums.
My mistake Scatman, sorry m8, must be that damn server browser.
Let me be very clear. I was and still am strongly in favour of keeping the bt server public despite certain minority demands for a private.
My answer was:
BT isnt for comp players only and goes live for everyone soon. Every map need to be played to find balance issues.
Thats my opinion and im not changing it.
BT is no "pro-mod". It seem some people forget that.
Mineshaft and Refinery both had balance problems in vanilla, so one might argue that testing these maps with the BT mod falsifies the results of the mod balance.
I could live with the compromise of having Jambi in the cycle though.
I thought we all played the same game, but apparently when you use NSL versions of the maps it's a different one, you need to be pro to play them.
Also you overestimate the amount of change the maps are going to get when BT is in vanilla. I can tell you this amount is close to zero.
ns2_tanith confirmed for official release.
