The Uber Update - Games - Facepunch Forum

I love how everyone's going ballistic about how OP the new Demoman set is. Let's work out some cons if you use the whole set: [b]-No Ranged Weapons. Period. -There's no word if the new charge grants melee crits on distance.[/b] (Perfect balance in my opinion.) [b]-Lower resistance than the Targe. -You look like a huge target to anyone who can move vertically or has bullets.[/b] Only thing I'm worried about is bad Demomen equipping the new booties and just spamming stickies everywhere.

[QUOTE=Skunkrocker;30620477]Ned, remember the STS leak? Remember how you said the Splendid Screen would have 4 styles? That's four different variations on the same shield. Don't you remember that thread? I did.[/QUOTE] Link?

[QUOTE=rangrangpkpk;30620500]So the new Sniper Rifle will make the default Sniper useless now? (there's no negative stat that makes it less effective then the default Sniper, all I see is a bonus)[/QUOTE]The downside is if you miss.

[QUOTE=Suttles;30620530]-20% charge[/QUOTE] Really? I cant spot it at the update page: [img]http://www.abload.de/img/tf2sn98ju.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Sabrina;30620586]Quick-fix and Milk Gun will most definetly go in.[/QUOTE] Beta Syringe Gun was replaced by one that increased runspeed relating to ubercharge percentage. As a Medic main, that makes me very happy.

It just has lower resistances.

[QUOTE=rangrangpkpk;30620591]Really? I cant spot it at the update page: [img]http://www.abload.de/img/tf2sn98ju.png[/img][/QUOTE] Some guy said he forgot to put that on there. -20% starting charge.. So basically you start off in the negatives.

[QUOTE=goluffy;30620436]All ammo collected bexomes health? Good god! And are shoes primary?[/QUOTE]Shoes will probably be secondary, I bet.

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;30620589][url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1084085-STS-big-update-leak[/url][/QUOTE] I meant to that specific post.

[QUOTE=Spybreak;30620631]What's the downside to this Rilfe again? All it talks about is removing the Bonus, which you have to earn by getting a headshot in the first place.[/QUOTE] Slower charge time. It'll take longer to charge up your headshot damage.

If they do, demoman is officially OP.

[QUOTE=kamikaze470;30620633]Shoes will probably be secondary, I bet.[/QUOTE] Shoes would have to be a primary unlock, otherwise they would be useless by themselves other than the health buff.

[QUOTE=rangrangpkpk;30620591]Really? I cant spot it at the update page: [img]http://www.abload.de/img/tf2sn98ju.png[/img][/QUOTE] Is that just a direct upgrade to the Sniper Rifle?

[QUOTE=Leather Belt;30620720]Is that just a direct upgrade to the Sniper Rifle?[/QUOTE] Maybe the base charge rate is nerfed?

when i see that demomen can control the charge alot more. in my head i just see the demo moving like the cars from tron. in a charge.

[QUOTE=Leather Belt;30620720]Is that just a direct upgrade to the Sniper Rifle?[/QUOTE] No, because it's basically double or nothing.

[QUOTE=Leather Belt;30620720]Is that just a direct upgrade to the Sniper Rifle?[/QUOTE] GreenMarine stated that there's a downside that he forgot to list there.

The demoman's weapons look very overpowered. It makes the demomans other shield useless.

[quote]The Demo, on the other hand, has never even been to the beach —but his empty eye cavity naturally accumulates moisture that drips down his head into his throat, making him the equivalent of a one-eyed cactus that swears.[/quote] I laughed way more than I should have.

[QUOTE=BenJammin';30620748]The demoman's weapons look very overpowered. It makes the demomans other shield useless.[/QUOTE] The Targe has higher resistance to fire and explosives than the Screen, so I'd rather use the Targe if the other team is packed with pyros or soldiers or other demomen.

A class with no ranged weapons and less damage resistance than previous Demoknights is overpowered? Imagine the rage if they had produced any sort of explosive weapon.

[QUOTE=john_frohman;30620787][I]The Persian Persuasion (Sword)[/I] [B][/B]All ammo becomes health Does this mean dispensers heal you 2x faster than normal?[/QUOTE] Dispensers don't dispense health and ammo at the same rate, so probably not.
