What's the deal with Source 2? I guess Dota 2 uses it in beta? Is it something they could just throw TF2's assets into with little to no issue (lol)?

Art assets could probably reasonably ported to Source 2 as the file types are iterative enhancements, but all the game code would probably be a massive effort. Might as well make TF3 at that point.

Ditocoaf posted:Nope, it's a terrible idea! But there are a lot of bad/newbie engies who seriously think in terms of "this is the good place to put a sentry". This is never truer than when I play spy. It's my favorite class, I've been a despicable pub spy for literally years. I only ever switch to spy when we don't have one, because from experience any number of spies higher than one results in diminishing returns very quickly. And I usually do pretty well, which isn't that hard. At some point I'll be feeling pretty good, near the top of the scoreboard, then notice another spy on the team. Then I'll check the scoreboard and notice we now have two extra spies, invariably at the bottom of the scoreboard with single digit points between them. Three Stooges music plays over the rest of the map as one of the spies routinely manages to spin enemies around to face both of us, and the other sits in the enemy spawn with the cloak and dagger, waiting for The Perfect Kill. It's like having an annoying younger brother coming in when you're trying to work on something. Go play outside idiots, I was doing fine without you.

I've seen this described as the Little Brother effect before. If you're doing well as a class people will invariably swap to that class to try to do well too. I've had this happen with every class except medic, because people loving hate playing medic. Great Beer fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Jul 15, 2015 |

Back in my early days of playing I never really touched the Engineer class, though if there was a teleporter outside our spawn, I knew enough that it was helpful to briefly swap to Engie and upgrade it and then go back to whatever it was I was wanting to play. While doing this once I accidentally went through the teleporter and ended up in the owner's nest, where I panicked because I was still pretty new to the game and had no idea how to do anything as Engineer (and the fact my fps was between 5-15 didn't help matters). I ended up building a sentry next to the other Engineer's on the last point of Gravelpit and used his dispenser to get metal for it, too. I must've bothered that poor Engie so much.

It never seems to work for me for classes that it's fine to have lots of, only when I'm pubbing around as a spy/sniper. Wrecking poo poo with booties/stickybombs/eyelander, just laying waste to the entire (terrible) enemy team? I rarely get more demomen. Get some nice stabs as a spy? Spy horde.

Did the gun mettle coins not count the first two contracts from the start of the campaign? It says I've only done 4, but I've received 6 contract drops so far. It probably won't matter either way, just losing out on a less shinier coin. Assuming there will only be 24 contracts for 3 months anyways.

I had an idiot moment playing today. Playing Soldier I got set on fire near our resupply on Snowplow. So I started running back to spawn to grab a med kit. As I opened the door I was so low on health I realized if I continued to burn I was dead, so I just stopped and was going to let myself die. At one health left the burning stopped and I when I realized that I wasn't going to die I grabbed my mouse to resupply, hit the button on the mouse by mistake and killed myself with splash damage.

I'm having a problem where I can't close menus. I'll open the character select menu and though it will open, it doesn't react to my clicks. Instead I can hear my character shooting and moving as though the menu wasn't open. The only way out is to force-close the game.

Re: Heavy buff chatOtacon posted:Probably the resists on the brass/natasha and the accuracy bonus to the tomi. Jippa posted:The no damage spread or what ever it's called really helps the heavy as well. There's also Heavies no longer having a damage penalty against sentries, although arguably if a Heavy is shooting a sentry then at least it's a matter of one annoying thing in TF2 hurting a more annoying thing. I almost wouldn't even care about Heavy getting buffs all that much if they'd just do something about the crit problem. At the very least, make it so long-range damage falloff applies to minigun random crits, getting instagibbed from sniping range is annoying as hell.

e: ^^^I think everyone's former problems with minis were less that they were difficult to kill or anything and more to do with the fact that engineers could just poop them out anywhere anytime and it's gonna build in time to deal some damage usually, which they can't do now. I didn't mind them so much before but I think the game's better off without instant sentry gunsRareAcumen posted:If I want to bind something to middle mouse is the correct thing Mouse 3? pretty sure that's it, I had some element of spy disguises bound to it at one stage and my side buttons are defs 4 and 5 Frankly fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Jul 15, 2015 |

I used to complain about mini-sentries, but then they were nerfed, and then they were nerfed again, and they no longer bothered me, even as someone who most often plays scout. This was months and months ago. Maybe like a year? I forget. This most recent nerf seems totally unnecessary, but I guess they had their reasons among all these competitive-facing changes.

Ninja'd on the update notes. I was wondering yesterday why there was a spy that kept getting vaccinator bubbled when there wasn't a medic to be seen, nice to see they fixed that. I wonder if that +reload change will break the increased firing speed exploit that's been around for a while.

Of course he isn't dead, gunslinger engies still continue to do exactly that and probably will forever because that's what they learned to do. But they are now an ineffectual annoyance, which is good.

cram me sideways posted:I actually really hope this is a moment in your life that causes you to physically cringe every time you remember it. I think it's cute when you see a new player in over their head but they're in there trying to pitch in and bail out that sinking boat. First match I ever played in TFC we spawned in Well and I surged out the door with the rest of the pack, terrified and anticipating instant slaughter from digital huns. Seeing death at in every corner I screeched in alarm as the press of bodies carried us into the ramp room - with its high balcony and multiple doorways it seemed a killing ground. I swung my gun upwards and mag dumped, at nothing, in my own base, about 10 seconds into the round. The surge of team mates cleared the ramp room and stepped out into the yard; I sighed with relief - I'd suppressed the enemy as we passed the kill point, I'd done my part.

The Kins posted:From what I'm hearing, it's the same filter solution they've used on all the open-pit maps like Upward, just applied to all the remaining closed-pit maps. Very few custom maps rely on a physics collision to trigger their finale. I mean there's certainly some out there as some people probably C&P'd entities from the Valve map, but for the most part mappers saw Valve's solution as stupid and did it a better way.
