i feel like the setup building thing has to be a general engineer change that was just formatted wrong, it makes no sense to tie it to a specific weapon

The exact wording is

quote:

Doubled the amount of metal applied (per wrench hit) when upgrading buildings during the "Setup" period

Why would they be talking about wrench hits when the Rescue Ranger isn't a wrench? I agree with Countblanc - sounds like it was a formatting error and the change is related to the Engineer class and not specific to the Rescue Ranger

Honestly though the persuader's going to be just as viable for that after the update, you'll only have 8+14 sticky jumper bombs but that's more than enough to get around with even if you can't pick up any ammo from places other than your lockers.

I used to run LnL+Sticky+PP and it was the best poo poo ever for super aggressive offensive demoman. Back in those days the LnL could one-shot scouts, and since you're not spamming pills for area denial you don't run into the PP's downside that much. And the upside is you would just hoover up tons of health. Blowing up an engie nest and having like three full-health-packs worth of scrap right there was loving fantastic.

Obviously you had a fixed shelf life and if you stayed up too long then you'd have to bounce back to spawn for ammo one way or another... but 18 pills and 24 stickies is enough to make a pretty nice dent in an enemy team.

Everything in that kit has been nerfed at least a little and LnL and PP have both been nerfed into the ground.

Well, the item servers have gone down in preparation for the update, so I'm guessing it's pretty close now.

I wonder if this will be the first update where the game doesn't become unplayably laggy when it drops. Also:

There definitely should be a cfg folder, it keeps a bunch of other configuration files for the game too. What folders can you see in your Steam/steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf folder?

Yep, the Engineer change is just that during setup, regardless of what primary you have, you put 50 metal into buildings for upgrade instead of 25.

Mann Co Store is still not quite up so can't get the campaign pass yet :(

Edit: I assume those limited supplies are just limits on how many times you can take each reward. So you can't take war paints for every single contract.


Also holy poo poo, 108 contracts in the Mercenary Park pack.

Thankfully I held onto 3 years of Swissmas-gifted backpack expanders - they upped the maximum number of pages!

Maybe when the servers unclog in a few hours I'll even be able to apply them

Well, that's odd. Yesterday when I used Properties > Local Files > Browse Local FIles, it took me to a completely different folder. The problem seems to be solved now though.

TF2 is suddenly detecting my ps4 controller and as soon as I join a game it locks out my mouse so I can't navigate menus (like picking a team), any idea how to disable this without just unplugging my controller every time I boot the game up

Had this happen to me before and I had no idea how to fix it. exec undo360controller, joystick 0, -nojoy, disabling my gamepad service, nothing worked. then it just stopped again.. no idea what happened. I guess i'm gonna have to buy a usb extension cable so I can unplug my controller without having to pull it out from under my desk every drat time..

€5.10

Not sure about other currencies.


Edit: Also the max-health regen for GRU/Eviction Notice is the same as the drain rate. Just taking out the GRU also drains 20 max-health immediately. If you touch a refill locker while below normal max-health with the GRU deselected (so in regen-mode) it freezes your health but keeps regenning max-health, effectively damaging you.

that's not actually that much more than usual, if you check steamcharts for the past while seeing ~58k was pretty common. i'm wondering what things will be like over the weekend though, if TF2 managed to get 100k+ id lose my mind

There's a small free version for unlocking the new pyro stuff, and a much larger one that's paid, like previous campaign passes.

This might not be the case anymore due to the new system and the lack of contract timers, but you used to be able to recoup the cost of the campaign pass if you sold the exclusive crates on the steam market for the first couple days.

There's a ton of community servers running the new maps already. You just can't work contracts on those.
Maybe it's better to just sleep and come back to (hopefully) working servers later.

It looks like they're doing some auto detect -> force controller bindings thing even when everything's disabled as far as I can tell. I've had to unplug my PS3 controller and stop the service I have running that fakes it being a 360 controller to get full KB+M controls back.

also from what i've heard all the new weapons are worthless garbage, soldier airstrafing in general is messed up, the new pyro primary doesnt even work without impulse 101, and there's a lot of stuttering that has to do with the new friends list thing and supposedly it's gonna be like this for at the very least the weekend. what else is bad?
