wow, the short circuit is really buggy
If you do a special taunt, it disappears
If you lose the round/get stunned your hand disappears
When engineer runs backwards, he still tries to grip it like a pistol making his hand kind of clip into the gun part
It doesn't have team colored yellow (not that big of a deal, as none of Engineer's view models do)
It's also incredibly weak.
It doesn't fire fast and doesn't have enough range to deflect projectiles
It doesn't do enough damage to enemies to mean anything
It uses a ton of metal to do these two things, neither of which it's actually good at.
you have to buy them or just loot them?
[QUOTE=Wolfz;31827441]you have to buy them or just loot them?[/QUOTE]
wha? You can find them, craft them, or pre-order Deus Ex and get them in Genuine edition. Not sure if you can purchase them if thats what you mean

It is weak, but I can see a use for it guarding a sentry from soldiers/demomen if you have a (few) dispenser(s) up.

Short Circuit seems a bit underpowered.
The new rifle, however, with a SMG, it's a bit OP.

stop using it as a pistol
[QUOTE=Vaught;31827854]stop using it as a pistol[/QUOTE]
it certainly isn't good at destroying projectiles, so I'm not sure what its purpose is
[QUOTE=ned_ballad;31827874]it certainly isn't good at destroying projectiles, so I'm not sure what its purpose is[/QUOTE]
I completely agree with you, it seems rushed, because the stats are pretty crap, 4 damage to an enemy is pretty useless.
It also doesn't have any animation appart from a crappy kick back. in my opinion it's the worst gun in the game. it needs more stats that make it worth swapping your pistol or wrangler for..
I want a purity fist :(
Is it me, or unusuals much more common now? Everyone has been uncrating them lately.

If it did a lot more damage, but was much slower it could fit better into the first, but to actually do what it's supposed to now it needs to be faster and use much less metal.

I'm guessing it was supposed to be used as an Anti Sticky carpet weapon. When there's no Pyro to airblast Stickybombs away from your Nest, your buildings are pretty much boned.
The new shotgun needs a massive buff, it's pretty much useless compared to the normal shotgun

But Demoman can launch the stickies and detonate them faster than the gun can destroy them, and Engineer only has a couple of shots before he gets dangerously low on ammo.

Awesome, was gonna preorder Deus Ex anyway.
Now I can sell the items that come with it to retards that attach $ value to virtural items, and get more games! :v:

P.S. Does anyone know what sound effect they used for the cloaking bit? It sounds so familiar and I can't figure it out.
[QUOTE=larolaro;31825629]I posted about the Deus Ex items I created up on my blog, lots of images and development if anyone is at all interested.

Also, did I mention that the short circuit was initially a huge unfolding minigun?

I'm mega jelly of your art skills. I wish I could make stuff that looked that good.
did you guys like the changes to the unusual particles?
Well too bad

[quote]Old effects shouldn't have changed (unless we improved them). It's possible an underlying texture was adjusted causing this to unintentionally change. We will investigate and correct the problem. [/quote]
*shrug* guess they improved them?

I'd like to know this too. It seems with the implementing of new effects, the rate of droppage is higher. But this is probably due to the simple fact that people are now going: "OOOOH NEW EFFECTS! I'm gonna buy keys! I'm gonna use my keys!"
People are more inclined to uncrate, so naturally there are gonna be more found. I wish I had some damn money to get some keys. Lord knows I'm trying to get rid of these fucking 60 crates I'm sitting on. DO the new unusuals however have to be uncrated from the 3 new crates?
bleh everything has turned really laggy this update, I've had turn my graphics way down for it to run smoothly

How do you view the item_schema or get the changelogs for these updates?
There is seriously
no way to get the dota hats unless you were there
that's really frustrating
they're ugly anyway
