Which statement? This: or this: or both? I was hoping for something other than coins.
I don't think so at all. 10% vs. free uber for any foolish player? That's a pretty tough choice, but not a braindead choice. That's also why you overhaul some other melee weapons aswell.
I had an idea about the thrid degree deal damage based on a % of the enemy's total health, but then again it would only be useful agaisnt overhealed patients. at wich point you're still burning them to death. the only solid use it has now is to punish vac medics and even in that scenario chances are you'll get killed by the patient before you can deal any considerable damage without the use of a random crit.

Please can we just get back to discussing TF2 rather than watching ASIC wank himself silly
Melee for Pyro and Heavy is in a very bad state because both classes would be better off just shooting their guns at you. Utility is pretty much the only use melee has for either of them. However, I'd imagine this is fairly obvious.
specially on pyro, where he has the best meelee weapon of the entire game (it being the flamethrower).
Weren't those "seven new weapons found by VNN" just a bunch of advanced weaponizer mods that he never fact-checked?
I just want the minigun's holster nerf to piss off, the more I play Heavy the more I get frustrated by it
No, I even found those in a diff - see the images here https://i.imgur.com/NthvCGa.png https://i.imgur.com/wDEqjzY.png + diff from wiki itself (on the first october 20 patch), mentioning tvbox sniper rifle https://i.imgur.com/JALELfU.png sources: https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Template:PatchDiff/October_20,_2017_Patch 4192434 | 210 files | M Protobufs/base_gcmessages.proto, M Prot..

Console binds = scripting? I dunno, If so, It's pretty awful that I am unable to use crosshair and viewmodel switcher. Reason I don't play Matchmaking is because it locks all this stuff, but now Casual too? Fuck that then tbh. I haven't tried in Casual yet btw, just got kicked for it in MvM.
I kinda wish that when you're in a partner taunt you didn't initiate but you have an Unusual version of the taunt, it draws the effect. It'd be really cool to high-five an unusual high-five owner and your own unusual high-five taunt's effect shows.
I saw five hatless Soldiers firing rockets everywhere, trying to hit anything they came across. For one moment I thought I was in a local server but no, I was on a Casual match.
The hydro.tf tournament is getting a donor medal. To receive it, donate at least $7.50 here, and set your Steam profile to be the display name, like this. US only, it seems.
Some people in this thread seem to be implying that the next update will be Heavy themed. If the TF team did state this, can someone link me to a source?
So, is there any evidence that there will be another update soon?
you would know, wouldn't ya?
Usually we get a major update around the start of the Steam summer sale and that starts on the 21st of June (last year was a pretty major exception of course). As far as I can remember the update has never happened during the sale, so if we get an update this summer and they follow previous update patterns it's either going to be next week or sometime after the sale in July. The only thing we really have is this Meet Your Match blogpost, which basically says the winner of the Pyro/Heavy war will get a first class pack. Seems likely the next major update will feature the heavy update but we don't know for sure.
We know that the TF Team is always aiming for an Update to be in Summer. That is the magic rule we can pretty much rely on as far as update times go, excluding Smissmas. Sometimes they arent capable of holding that rule true to themselves (Jungle Inferno - but that was, once again, planned to be in Summer) so yeah. As far as info about the update goes we've got a new gamemode and possibly a few new weapons. The thought of the Update possibly releasing next week is kinda surreal to me, the JI wait really has lowered my standards. To think that 3 years ago, I'd be livid if it wasnt next week, heh.
Well one of the good things the team did last year in the summer was give us a blogpost with a rundown of the balance changes they were intending to make. I just hope if they do that this year that we don't have to wait a month for them to evaluate feedback and then another three months to see them implemented.
Medals getting more and more expensive. Shame. Back in my day you could get a donator medal for 2$.
Who really cares, this is suppose to be a donation for a cause, not just for the medal - and although getting a medal is a nice incentive to do so, it shouldn't be the primary reason for you donating in the first place.
I care.
Are you trying out to be the new ASIC now that he's banned or something?
I hate donation incentives too. People should care about helping a cause rather than a shitty virtual item, but we know that's not how it is. But hey, I guess you need some sort of incentive nowadays.
If people were really looking for cosmetics to "buy" using money, they'd spend that much donation money on keys and then buy the hats they want, since medals are barely visible. Considering hydro.tf seems to be supporting a legitimate nonprofit organization for veterans, and they say they touch "none of [the money]", I don't see where this "money goes to host pockets" mentality comes from, since the organizers wouldn't really outright lie and then get away with the money, marking them as liars and untruthful people for life (at least in TF2). Even though it's always worth looking into what organizations you donate to, so no dumb mistakes are made, this doesn't look really untrustworthy at all. Like I said, spending money on hats is better than spending it on a single, barely-visible medal, so if you donate, do it for a good cause.
Is TF2Classic alive and well? Can't seem to find a beep of life, and the latest I've seen was around 9 months ago.
A quick google search shows the game is being worked on, they teased a small announcement a month (or so) ago. Meanwhile, their reddit seems to be dead, but they have a Discord.
If memory serves, they were accepting private beta testers, but that was nearly a year ago. No idea if they're still doing that.
