Can you even manage a decent jump with a detonator? Back when they had them in the beta it was almost as good as a sticky jump but ever since they've been put in the full game I've never managed to get much higher than a scout's double jump. Also wrangler engineers.

Yeah, the jump isn't great now, but there's still quite a few places you can get to that you wouldn't expect to see a pyro.

There are some really, really good pyros who can rocket jump. It does require an enemy soldier to shoot at them first, though. Hmm, speaking of which, technically the amazing flying assholes could be any class as long as they had a demoman friend on the other team who could propel them.

There is pretty much nothing more demoralizing than shooting a rocket at a pyro and them using it to rocket jump at you, flare you en route, and then axtinguish you. Ubering enemy spies is pretty much the best way to gently caress with your team's engineers, if you just unsap while the spy re-saps it'll kill all your stuff in under ten seconds so if the spy is ubered you're literally helpless.

I've seen at least one person manage to rocket jump as an enginneer as well, using an exploit that allows the wrangler to simultaneously fire a rocket at their feet and pick up the sentry. Any time you see a sentry in a completely whacked out place, odds are, that's how it got there. So we can have pyros, engineers, soldiers, and demomen who can actively perform rocket/sticky jumps.

If they're using the YER then they can stab the Engineer without breaking the uber. They will have to have managed to stab someone on their own before you can start healing them, though. Honestly going on a pub server and packing the Saharan spy set and Dead Ringer is practically griefing. You make no sound, kill people and instantly take on their appearance, and even if you get shot you just turn invisible instead of dying. Chances are you won't run into anyone good enough to defend against this at all and will be able to just murder the entire other team with impunity.

You don't even need to exploit. Just wrangler jump and then build a teleporter exit in whatever weird place you've managed to get to. Then you can just move the sentry up there afterwards. There's an archway in Egypt that you can't get to without rocket/sticky jumping that I see Engineers build on sometimes. It's always a complete bitch to get them when they're up there. cock hero flux fucked around with this message at 01:42 on May 7, 2013 |

How much does Saharan Spy dampen the ridiculously obnoxious Dead Ringer sound? I always loved my Dead Ringer, but god damnit it was irritating to have the entire world know every time I uncloaked.

Man, anyone got a Fez they'll trade me for, well, basically whatever the gently caress you want? I haven't played TF2 in forever and have a lot of old items I well and truly do not care about, but I'm pretty sure I have the YER and L'Etranger already. Pubstomping with Saharan Deadringer sounds amazing

There is a TF2 trading thread in PGS, and a general thread in games, and probably 8 or 9 other threads more appropriate than this one.

The game uses html as a chat input. This means we can use img tags, which are basic html, in chat. So we can start putting images into world chat in a video game. So far we are only linking in game items, but we are still working on doing more.

If you somehow knew that someone had a picture of a dong in their files as well as what the exact location and name of said picture were, I think you could call up dongs on their poo poo, but I don't think anyone has tried that yet. The real fun is just going to be spamming the gently caress out of world chat with giant pictures to make pubs angry, unless Reggin and the other codemonkeys who have been dissecting the game figure out how to do more evil things than that.

What's that? More Wushu? Sure! This is sort of a timeline of how things have gone down, in a general sense, since we got into the game.Magres posted:Sanguine Moon was a guild that is/was (they're basically dead) full of tools who decided they hated Goons for our bloodthirsty ancient Chinese communist ways and started trying to pick on us, since a lot of our guys were late to the party and were thus under-geared and, much more importantly, under-leveled.

I'm so happy I got to be a part of the fall of Jinhu. Getting to watch the dawning realization that his guild was utterly dwarfed by Goon Tang Clan and that we would begin smashing his guild apart as soon as we hit decent levels was glorious.

The funny thing is that a lot of people get butthurt the moment there's a goon presence in a game and try their hardest to take them out but instead completely miss the point that 75% of goon groups are run by normal people that actually will respect a lot of people and work with them to help if the offending people weren't such dorks. Goons are some of the most helpful people you'll run into in a game as long as you're not a dick.

I hesitate to say it was internet detective work since someone else randomly found the image on danbooru and I just contacted the artist. I confronted Jinhu and they vehemently denied it, so being the massive sperg I am I put together an image with the conversation I had with the artist and sent it to Jinhu. They never replied, but I showed it to his friends and they all reacted badly. One of them was in complete denial and kept making excuses like 'well maybe they meant they owned the backgrounds of the signature!' I also posted it in Wanderer's Valley chat and there was some significant poo poo-talking about Jinhu as a result. Sadly I didn't take screencaps.  I am absolutely positive that Jinhu saw it though, because someone with an ego like that can't ignore things.I really, really have a thing against plagiarism of any sort. It ain't cool.  This is the only time I'd ever even get close to internet detectivism.

The fact that goons exist is a pretty awesome grief on all of multiplayer games. Any time a big enough thread pops up on the forums about some upcoming game, the official forum of the game explodes with anger about goons wanting to play it. The game devs need to ban goons from the game because goons will ruin it. Aside from the stories in this thread, playing games online with goons has been the best multiplayer experience I've ever had. Goons are nice and helpful and will get you started in whatever game you are playing. There's always some sort of interesting conversation you can have in voice chat or whatever. It also doesn't hurt that most goons are actually good at games and provide either a challenge or a useful teammate. This thread wouldn't even exist if there weren't idiots out there to bring it upon themselves.

A member of one of the goonswarm pubbie corps (Amok.) messaged me yesterday trying to get access to goontang clan's wiki. I doubt pubbies will ever understand the difference between a single guild that plays multiple games and a bunch of guilds that happen to recruit from the same place but figured at least somebody who spent that much time around goons would know better.
