I agree that the ambassador change was a bit much (the range should be lengthened I'm) but the Dr was a loving cancer and I'm glad it's been nerfed to death.

The paints would be cool if they were applied to an item, and didn't create a new version of it. It really kills my interest in getting any.

I prefer the bomber for demoman primary TBH but all of his stuff is to taste.

Thanks all, definitely knew I missed a few


I think I've used the Iron Bomber for all of 5 minutes when it was first released, and I typically don't see many Demo's running it... how do you use it differently compared against the standard grenade launcher?

The balls don't bounce so you know exactly where they're going to land even if you miss, and you can work that together with stickies to funnel people to death traps really well.

I just don't like the amount of stuns in Overwatch, and I don't think there's a single character in TF2 less fun to play against or even have on your team than Mei.

Mei is an rear end in a top hat but her ability to control a battlefield is really unique and fun. Unfortunately Blizzard doesn't know what map design is so every single map is wide arena > chokepoint > wide arena.

God the map design in overwatch was hot loving trash how did I play it for so long

Also getting good with the shotgun makes you better with 4/9 classes, 5 if you count heavy.

The big difference between C and D is how long a map takes. If you're an alright map but you overstay your welcome constantly you're bad.

I loving loathe powerhouse, it's an overwatch map that managed to escape that bad game and get into TF2 and matches always last 50 years

If this has shown me anything though I should probably give mvm and mannpower a shot.

I always went backburner / shotgun / hammer. I prefer to flank enemies as the pyro and the crits let you ignore the weird damage ramp.

e: that video actually explains why I play pyro the way I do. I never even realized it

gently caress the hat barons and their stupid fiefdoms. It's time they learned a very valuable lesson about how markets work.

Grapplejack
Nov 27, 2007

Also you're going to sit here and tell me, with a straight face, that the hat barons aren't making a ton of money off of crate sales during this whole thing? gently caress right off. I bet they did that and are waiting for the reversal since they'd get to keep crate sales income.

Hopefully I can pawn off this crate when it opens back up before the price craters

It was, it was in 82 or 85, one of the affected crates.

Grapplejack
Nov 27, 2007

A price crash is actually better for valve anyway; most people do unusual trading in grey markets for cash. No one is going to try to find a middleman if their hat is only worth like $15-20, they'll just use the market, and valve gets a cut there.

Stupid maps and servers were so much fun.

I still fondly remember the 4CHAN PARTY VAN. No really, hear me out. It wasn't racist/nazi/pedo poo poo, it was just the absolute dumbest maps and mods, and a huge selection of sound clips you could use for chat.

Party Van was mario kart, right? that map was amazingly dumb

So I've been playing with the pyro items trying to do the contract because I've been bored lately and lmao these are all incredibly terrible items

I can't believe how bad the gas passer is, and the dragon's fury is almost totally unusable. I don't understand why they made these items.

Grapplejack
Nov 27, 2007

my big issue with the dragon's fury is the fact that your projectile is both a projectile and also made of particles, which is like, specifically designed to gently caress up because of tf2's netcode. I hate this flamethrower.

e: I do find it extremely funny that in this, the pyro update, the pyro got a ton of extremely lovely gimmick items, meanwhile the joke item the heavy got is literally one of his best items

The jetpack owns on Hightower

Yeah the jetpack ended up being the only item from the pack that seemed at all useful; the mobility lets ambush pyros really shine, even if it comes at a cost of losing your ranged option.

which was the one where everyone is trapped inside a permanently rotating cube and everyone just went heavy and held down Mouse1

I think that's CP_whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Also I finished the pyro stuff. The hot hand is actually super good for a silly gimmick weapon. Not enough to use it over his other options but it's not like, shamefully bad like the other items in the pack.

I really like the Dragon's Fury. It's got better range than the flamethrower, no ramp-up, and it's consistent -- I know how much damage I'll be dealing with it. Compare this to the flamethrower, to where the damage ramp-up will reset randomly, or fail to accrue if the target is against a wall, or a million other reasons. Of course, if you can't aim, then you're hosed, which is a bigger deal than usual given that part of the point of pyro is trading the need to aim for a much higher dependence on positioning.

I mean you're also constantly gambling with source's particle and projectile hitboxes, not to mention that you lose the ability to spycheck easily. I'd rather have the flamethrower's weird rampup issues rather than the engine going "gently caress you, you miss, respawn"

The crates from the contracts aren't marketable this year, which means there's really no reason to play unless you want to since you can't make money from hat barons / gambling addicts unless you're valve

I bought a key and got the pocket halloween boss, immediately remembering why I stopped buying keys

Also some dude I was in a server with opened forty boxes and I got the itch

e: the pocket halloween boss's ghost version paints the hat, you can't carry around a small green ghost. This item fuckin sucks!!!

The remade map is somehow worse, it's even easier to lock down A as red.


also I really wish the vaccinator would get nerfed, i loving hate that gun

I've been playing tf2 more often lately and boy the vaccinator might be one of the worst items in the entire game, it only exists to make the other team have less fun.

I really wish they'd give the black box a floor to its healing, it's an incredibly lovely rocket launcher when you don't pair it with the conch. I wouldn't mind them nerfing the conch and buffing the box.

Honestly if they were to do a full pass over the code and all the models to make the game run super well and call it tf3 i'd be okay with that, I think.

If you're good at soldier those skills transfer over pretty well, since you're already trained to predict movement. I've had some sick crossbow saves.
