NOW TO WAIT TILL DAY THREE
[QUOTE=peaceful guy;30620038]How do you pronounce the new sniper sword's name?[/QUOTE] Sha-han-sha
[QUOTE=markfu;30620091]Just stats based the demo set sounds overpowered since there are no written downsides to any items in the set, but I guess we'll see once it gets released.[/QUOTE] If you use the set, the downside is that you don't have grenade & sticky launchers. I don't think the set is overpowered in any way.
[QUOTE=Original Name;30620119]NOW TO WAIT TILL DAY THREE[/QUOTE] Engineer, ok thanks.
Also this pretty much proves my theory as to why they created the Demoknight style: there's literally no way to create sidegrades for vanilla Demoman
The worst part about all this? Another 24 hours until the next day. :<
umm where is it? i can only access page one.
So many item sets; No set bonuses in sight. I am happy with that.
New demo kit is OP out the ass.
[QUOTE=Pinkamina;30619801]This update makes me wish I owned TF2[/QUOTE] Why not get it, its free?
I still think the new Sniper Rifle needs an additional stat. Maybe the option to keep the rifle zoomed while reloading on a headshot?
How exactly is the new sniper rifle scope going to work?
Opinion at a glance: Bazaar Bargain - Nice for those hotshots who never miss, but not for me. Shahanshah - If you're under 50%, you're probably about to die. Persian Persuader - Why hello there. Health instead of ammo. If this works with fallen weapons, DELICIOUS. Will use with normal demo weapons with it if so. Splendid Screen - K Ali Baba's Wee Booties - Oh dear god. 200 hp Demoknights turning on a dime. And if the health thing cancels out the Eyelander HP drop, you're looking at a potential 235 hp. Loving the Persuader, meh to the Sniper weapons, Not-Demo set is interesting.
[QUOTE=Elizer;30619870]So, lemme sort this out: [I]The Splendid Screen (Shield)[/I] [B]+25% Fire Damage Resistance +20% Explosive Damage Resistance +70% Increase in Impact Damage Can deal impact damage at any range[/B] [highlight]Loss of Sticky Launcher[/highlight] [I]The Persian Persuasion (Sword)[/I] [B]100% Increase in Charge ability recharge rate[/B] [highlight]All ammo becomes health[/highlight] [I]Ali Baba's Wee Booties (Shoes, implied Grenade Launcher replacement)[/I] [B]+25 Max Health +100% Increase in Turning Control while charging[/B] [highlight]Loss of Grenade Launcher[/highlight] (implied) I think these are what the stats should look like.[/QUOTE] The health for sword thing isn't really a downside, as it's meant to go with the shield and boots, and no ammo containing weapons.
[QUOTE=Clovernoodle;30620150]The worst part about all this? Another 24 hours until the next day. :<[/QUOTE]And 48 hours till the update drops in TF2.
So.......demoman got more swords and shields.... :geno:
[QUOTE=zombini;30620160]New demo kit is OP out the ass.[/QUOTE] You have no ranged weapons. I think not.
[QUOTE=Spybreak;30619963]That's one wonky-ass looking spike..[/QUOTE] also none of the other shields have it. Looks definitely like a new projectile. Let's hope it's for the already existing crossbow and not a new crossbow.
[QUOTE=zombini;30620160]New demo kit is OP out the ass.[/QUOTE] Quit jumping on the bandwagon. He's not any more "OP" than he would have been with his explosive weapons. Now instead of winbombing enemies into the ground, he has to take them on One-By-One, at melee range, and you're complaining about him being [b]too powerful?[/b] Jesus..
why no extra thing valve i know you're keeping the other maps/gamemodes and shit secret but we need more
[QUOTE=Be Polite,;30620170]I still think the new Sniper Rifle needs an additional stat. Maybe the option to keep the rifle zoomed while reloading on a headshot?[/QUOTE] Any other ideas?
[QUOTE=Political Gamer;30620180]And 48 hours till the update drops in TF2.[/QUOTE] You have 48 hours left to make us jealous of you, Political Gamer. Do not squander them.
I absolutely love the Lawrence of Australia pack, awesome design.
Hey I just noticed something! equip the new demoman boots with the magicka's hat, and you will get a the real demomage!
Tomorrow: Soldier trash set and Raid Mode Thursday: Raid Mode, Medic weapons, and Meet the Medic ?
I can't wait for these sets.
[QUOTE=CrashGal;30620179]The health for sword thing isn't really a downside, as it's meant to go with the shield and boots, and no ammo containing weapons.[/QUOTE] Yea, but all people see is the blue text, and from what Valve's trained us to think, blue text equals a positive trait. So all these posters going "Oh man, totally gonna use the new sword with my grenade launcher and sticky launcher, I'll be unstoppable! LOL" aren't thinking about when they're running low on ammo, they'll have no way of being able to replenish their ammo stashes without visiting a health cabinet (which is what I'm guessing) So, it's a downside to me.
[QUOTE=9600bauds;30619890]ZF already went to hell and back when perks were invented.[/QUOTE] I hate, HATE perks...but vanilaa servers are all gone. Makes me sad :smith:
[QUOTE=Political Gamer;30620180]And 48 hours till the update drops in TF2.[/QUOTE] I'm fine with that- it's the adrenaline rush when you first find out what a day's update holds (Especially Meet the Medic) that makes me giddy. I can wait for the update itself because I can always get the items later, but the excitement when the stuff is being revealed is what matters to me.
[QUOTE=Potato-Pugilist;30620077]SO how much damage is 70% more on the shield?[/QUOTE] 85. But don't hold me to that. The Targe does 50 damage now.
