The new pyro cannon is just retarded. It'll 2 shot any class under 175hp, including other pyros. Anything above that is just an extra shot in the general direction of the enemy since the thing seems to have hit detection on par with the airblast.

What the hell, every time the game I'm on votes next map to be Banana Bay, the server appears to shut down/crash when the map changes? I'm also having the bug with items granted for a contract disappearing while the contract is still active. nielsm fucked around with this message at 10:41 on Oct 21, 2017 |

Handy hint to anyone who just started the pyro campaign. do NOT go for the gas cannister thing before the flame thrower. It doesn't recharge like mad milk or just only get one use them you need to restock it. It's dependant on damage you do. and on servers full of pyros with only the flame thrower and no secondary. you almost never get a chance to use it. I'm gonna be stuck trying to clear this one for a while.  ...

I'm gonna be stuck trying to clear this one for a while. I don't understand its recharge mechanic yet, but the primary part of the contract itself wasn't too difficult, and you need to finish it for the jetpack anyway. It's a bit annoying having to juggle between different contracts depending on what the map can support, especially for the campaign contracts since you start out with Offense, Defense and Merc Park contracts (after the Free For All one). And most of the new maps are symmetric (KOTH and PLR) so you can't score on the Offense and Defense contracts at all, and obviously Merc Park contract depends on playing that map. Is anyone else getting visual glitches like this on some of the new maps?  I tried doing a Verify Game Files in Steam but it doesn't seem like it repaired anything.

If I hand in a contract without completing the bonus missions, can I go back to it later or is it closed forever? I haven't finished the first contract yet because I still need to get 10 points in one life 3 more times

I haven't finished the first contract yet because I still need to get 10 points in one life 3 more times Yes. You can always re-activate a contract with incomplete objectives. I've done that several times already. You can also switch away from a contract with a partially completed objective, and resume it later. When I played on Mossrock (CP attack/defend) previously, I switched between the Attack and Defense contracts between rounds, even if they weren't complete. Then when the next map was Banana Bay, which doesn't have attacking/defending teams, I switched back to the Free For All contract to complete the 10 points in a single life bonus objective, which is easy when you have a cart to push and pyros to mow down with a minigun

Do you actually get better rewards if you complete a contract with all the bonus objectives? Also, I miss being able to work on two contracts at once :/ ... You know what the pyro absolutely needed? A way to outright destroy sentries from distance.

The new flamethrower is goddamn crazy. Good news, this game's still fun. Bad news, I still hate the stupid matchmaking system and much preferred when I didn't have to wait to play the video game I have limited amounts of time to play already.

Ditocoaf posted:You get more stars, which allow you to unlock contracts that need multiple stars. In the pyro ones, just the banana contract. Nope, doing bonus objectives on jungle contracts still only gets you more stars. But you will need a lot of stars to unlock every contract to get all the blood money. If you want to get to all the map contracts you have to first get through the 2fort contract (and the Merc Park contract). Apparently also, those contracts that have 3 "Activate" buttons on them, what those do is you select one variation of the contract permanently. E.g. choosing the Heavy version of the Defensive Classes one, I can't go back and do Demoman instead. Edit: One more thing: Yes, those two war paint cases you can buy for blood money, they also require a key to unlock. So to claim all of the limited items for yourself you will need at least 4 keys, in addition to the campaign pass. They become tradeable after 7 days, it looks like. nielsm fucked around with this message at 14:20 on Oct 21, 2017 |

now the searching for game indicator is in...chinese? Japanese? I don't know them well enough to tell the difference but it's definitely an asian language and i can't stop searching for a game and when i joined a community server i couldn't actually select a class except heavy because it wanted me to select one with a controller that wasn't even connected update status so far: raging garbage fire

If you can, try removing it. Also check the Controller settings in Steam itself, and the Game Controllers control panel in Windows. Apart from that, make sure to click the "Submit a bug" button on the main menu and describe the problem.

Heh, the Ambassador is absolutely garbage now. 52 damage crits at medium range. Never actually used it often, since I prefer stock or Diamondback, but still, this nerf seems a bit too harsh. They should at least have buffed it in some other area to make up for it. I guess you can still use it to 2-shot unaware snipers using the Razorback at least.

Remember that the new flamethrower does +300% damage to burning enemies.I think one of the reasons it feels so powerful right now is that everyone is pyro, so everything is on fire all the time.

Gas Passer is a really cool item idea on paper but sucks in practice. It takes far too long to charge to be useful. I really dig the new maps. Banana Bay is an instant classic, Mossrock is cool but it has some busted particle effects and the train is very janky (you can't stand on it properly, compared to the Banana Bay one which works as it should)
