TF2 General Chat and Speculation Station V8 - ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give Heavy Update - Games

its definately something that noone can say takes no skill anymore. If you get killed by it now, they earned it.

no one denies that. but yeah if you enjoy handicapping yourself go for it i guess.

yeah but you can say the same for sun-on-a-stick you're putting in more work to do less damage less reliably than stock it's like a loose cannon for pyro

you can still get the job done with liberty launcher or air strike but you have zero reason to not just use stock. dragon's airblast is too sluggish to use in the face of enemies and its new hitscan-but-projectile thing is no longer reliable enough to be "mained". you simply have more freedom, more dps and more room to maneuver with other flamers. if you dont care about AB just roll phlog + uber med. Literally no JI pyro item is being used by the best pyros other than maybe the ocassional jetpack. I don't even need to comment about the gascan and slap. The flames were more-or-less reverted to pre-JI and the new items aren't used. That's JI in a nutshell.

When it comes to class reworks with classes like Heavy or Spy, I'm not really confident the team will accomplish it well.

i've actually had to tell a few peopl to use it before they can complain by dying by it. A lot off people feel it requires less skill than rocket launcher

MEDALS BOYS

Jill blink twice if you're being forced to work on this game by Eric and Dave

Truly, we live in exciting times.

strange they wouldnt mention the lootbox shit though see ya next week

Really seems like the Major Update is coming soon: that's why the patches only contain medals. They're probably working on a branch with the major update and the bugfixes, and they decided to put in some medals. P.s: major update coming tomorrow like gun mettle

wouldnt be too mental, all rules of nature have been thrown out ever since jungle inferno and blue moon the gun mettle jape was truly one of the best ones

Any site to check Update items and how they look similar to trade.tf? Since that site is pretty much dead now.

Did I miss anything good with the game/community? I've been out of the loop for like five months and the only times I really played TF2 was whenever I was having near suicidal bouts of depression. Any new updates planned or naw are we stuck with flying pyros?

Jill start breathing if you're being held against your will from releasing the Heavy update.

No way, man. Update in the next few hours. They're gonna make the Gun Mettle jest look like the wait for Jungle Inferno

usually when a major update is on the horizon they will only release an update if it's really important,for stuff like medals they're usually saved to be shipped with the update

You missed Blue Moon, an Update in late march that added a bunch of bug fixes, a better (even though still full of issues) comp mode, casual improvements, multi-queuing and some balancing. As far as the future update goes, all we know is that the team is working on a new gamemode and possibly, maybe the heavy update, but that dates back to the early days of MyM. We are currently in the time where we'd usually get major updates - however given the way JI went, people grew kinda doubtful(rightfully) that we'll even get anything this year apart from Blue Moon or a Summer Update at all. So the speculation you'll see will vary from "toweek is the week" - "august is the month" - "this aint the year you fucking shitheads tf2 big dead game" - and the worst part is that all of those three are entirely justified

I don't think TFTEAM is aware nobody wants to sacrifice a precious equip slot for a medal. Its probably about time somebody tells them.

I don't know why we can't just equip medals in the action slot. We can equip MvM canteens and spellbound in that slot I don't see why we couldn't equip a medal instead.

Just the equip function. That's all we want. No fancy bugged animation that results in 20 Heavies running around holding invisible medals while being unkillable and going 20-0.

I don't think the dragon's fury is THAT bad, the size of the hitbox was definitely an issue before but I do agree valve probably went a bit overboard with making it smaller, my biggest issue with it though is that if either I or anyone else fires it on my screen it lags the total fuck out of my potato pc more than anything else because it spawns like over 100 particles in a single shot, and I know you understand how hell that was back in the JI hayday

Someone (sigsegv?) should try to reverse engineer CSGO's Panorama tech and try to get it in TF2.

Protip: Pyrovision makes it only into one particle, also i'd argue its a cleaner and more representative model of the hitbox

Give it the duck journal gimmick and make it do a 'ching' sound effect if you try to use the action slot with a medal equipped.

https://i.imgur.com/saeh0Dr.jpg This medal is totally worth getting though. Except for those lgbt rainbow stripes, I think it's cool.

Depends on how spammable it is. That medal is honestly really great-looking. Looks like something the Scout would design. Except, of course, rainbows makes him cry

https://i.imgur.com/oywULKc.jpg If it would turn out that the medal is a reference to the Sunny Shades, I would love the creators 4ever. If not, I'll just love em 3ever.

I think it's just a combination of Jimijam and :b1:
