I posted this on steamforums and didnt get any feedback... so;
before we start.. please note that this idea is not serious and will not be put into development... I is mainly an awesome idea.
THE TIME SHIFTER
basically I had an idea of a watch that makes the world slow down... A LOT.. in the spy's view, and he can move and attack freely...
in other's view... he would be moving really fast (like a stream of teamcoloured light moving at an incredible speed)
this would allow the spy to quickly maneuver being spotted and may initiate epic battles between two spies using it.
however, this does not make you invisible, it makesa lot of noise while in use.. and has the recharge rate of the DR, except you can't use ammo boxes
tl;dr:
+ slows down time
+ can attack while in use
- visually obvious
- generates noise
- -??% recharge rate
- no recharge from ammo crates
- water short's it off, and fire will increase drain rate
again: this is not a serious idea. I just want to hear your thoughts about it
EDIT: moar boxes,plz

The Spy is not a clockstopper.
It's also impossible to code. :downs:
Just think about it.
I said no serious! just imagine it
so basically giving people the worlds most annoying trolling device? I don't think so.
Also saying something is not serious doesn't exempt you from criticism.
Looks a little bit underpowered actually. Maybe it should be more like:
+Slow down time durrrr
+You're invincible/hard to kill while you use it
-Can't use weapons
-No cloak (durr)
-Drains roughly 10% slower than the default watch, but takes 50% longer than the C&D to charge up fully.
Level of charge depends on how slow time gets, only starts from 40% cloak.
It wouldn't be too hard to make for the observers, just speed up the Spy and add an effect. But I'm not sure how it would catch up on everything that's happened for the Spy, unless it took everyone's actions, somehow adjusted them for the Spy... Idk, if it actually slowed down everyone except Spy (incl. physics engine et al) so it [i]looked[/i] like time was slowing, and everyone appeared to continue to play normally (ie the timescale would increase so they move at the same speed or something)... It would be a lot of effort for VALVe though, which is something they aren't that good at.
If you're not really serious, please don't post it.
My thoughts, no. Why? It would frustrate all of the players, and be incredibly annoying.
It really is impossible to implement

Why suggest something which is so dumb?

ooookay am I breaking any of these rules... apart from the first one? where is the mega thread , anyway?
For this to work, the player would have to slow down the time itself in real life.
To code your idea, you will have to code time machine first
The only way this would work would to make the player literally go slower in time (like the guy at the keyboard) or annoyingly slow down the entire server.
so it's impossible to slow down animation speed clientside without interrupting other players?
if so.. the dont slow down time... make the spy go really fast...
I had a similar idea for the engineer.
[B]The Spare Timer[/B]
Replaces sentry
Pros
When used: Slows everything down for enemy while you still move at normal speed
Cons
Slow recharge
Cannot defend itself, so its better to use together with other engineers
Low health
Also, Valve might be extremley awesome, but they cant make real life time machines.
I had an idea too, hear me out.
Pyro unlock: The sword called [B]"Weeping for the fallen souls (落とされた精神のために泣くこと in it's true Japanese name)"[/B]
This unlock gives the Pyro a sword that has his fallen brother's, mother's, father's and loved one's souls in it. When you taunt with it, Pyro (who's real name is Kakashi, we're married btw) realizes all the wrong he has done, turns into Ultra-Gaiden OkamaChinpo Pyro, who can teleport, freeze time and do a Soul Attack, where he shoots fireballs that are made from my trust and love for him.
Please don't critizice me or my husband will be very upset
sorry, but I dont like any japanese interferance with tf2....
even if he was from asia.. he/she would be from china (HADOUKEN!)

Hadouken is Japanese, you know.
wait what?
I thought all martial arts (mostly) originated from china...
I was wrong about my neighbouring continent this whole time

please rain me with boxes, I deserve it
Hadouken isn't a martial art.
It's a fucking fireball
This isn't impossible to code. It's impossible for it to happen in reality. You can slow down the time in SP games because you just slow down the enemies, bullets, etc. You can't make the player controlled entities slow down for one player without slowing them down for the rest of people. Only possibilities would be:
a) Make the spy fast. Others would be moving at the same speed, but the spy would be faster, compared to them.
b) Slow down everybody except spy - Really retarded.
so what does that mean?
offtopic: this thread is now about hadoukens and pyros

there is another possibility:
make everybody slow down, except spy, then give them an fps boost... where they have their game runing faster... so the spy would still be faster....
lul?

I dont see how that would be useful, for example just try ramping up host_timescale. Beyond that, why would a spy running fast be something you call a spy, isnt that more what the scout does? Run fast.
Slowing down all other players would just be stupid.

running fast is something and running [B][I]AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT![/I][/B]is something else
[editline]04:25PM[/editline]
well make it the speed of sound...

Running ~700 miles per hour in any TF2 sized map is just going to end up with you stuck in a corner trying to figure out where the fuck you landed.
And at the speed of light the Spy would probably turn into a bunch of gamma rays, probably not even enough to be harmful.
Well that could made the game less realistic and more difficult to other classes.
Even if it was possible to code, it wouldn't be possible in life.
Unless you can travel through time, of cource :rolleyes:
do know about the relativity theory and what it does?
I thought not...
Not possible, and it's actually pretty stupid.
