September 21, 2011 Beta Patch (Second Misc and Loadout Saving) - Games

So I just played the TF2 Beta and crafted the Reserve Shooter. I noticed a little glitch though. Well, two, actually. But Steam is down for me so I'll upload pictures later.

[QUOTE=DatWut?;32431198]So I just played the TF2 Beta and crafted the Reserve Shooter. I noticed a little glitch though. Well, two, actually. But Steam is down for me so I'll upload pictures later.[/QUOTE]Just use your words (and try rebooting Steam, it's back up for me).

I've been waiting for a day now and my damn game still won't update. :(

I'm on the fence for the Reserve Shooter on Pyro (Even if its a placeholder). Like someone said, with Soldier, tossing someone into the air isn't guaranteed for every rocket. Pyro just has to airblast and nail them once, then axtinguish. While Flare is 90 flat on the hit, reserve can shoot 3 times in 3 seconds. Long story short: While its Pyro love, I'm not sure it's the right kind of love.

It came back, I still can't upload 'em. 1) The upper thing on teh Reserve Shooter floats underneath it when equipping it on Pyro. 2) Scout's eyes have become scary in the class selection. :v:

[QUOTE=Mcfuret;32431148]how is the large luchadore not a misc yet...[/QUOTE] Proabably because it would look dumb with all of the other hats heavy has. Do you really want to see a Luchadore that wears a Toupe or Elvis hair?

well, it doesn't seem like it would clip with other hats. And people on the spanish channel wear luchador masks while also wearing regular hats.

[QUOTE=Luafox;32431305]I think I'm the only one who thinks pyro gets too much affection from Valve and the community :([/QUOTE] Does the plethora of Demoknight items, Soldier items, Heavy buffs, the 118th update nerfs, the community's view of the Pyro being a noskill class, and the afterburn powercreep say anything about how much "affection" the Pyro actually gets?

So here we go, current hats that could be misc without much trouble - Bonk Boy - Pyromancer's Mask - Large Luchador - Sniper's Snipin' Glass (even though they aren't released yet) Any others? Mask of the Shaman maybe? I wonder if the Spine Chilling Skull has as much clipping as I think it does.

[QUOTE=Luafox;32431305]I think I'm the only one who thinks pyro gets too much affection from Valve and the community :([/QUOTE] Holy shit what Pyro are you talking about. The Pyro very rarely gets affection from Valve ever, and like 90% of SUF hates him. Remember those flamethrower changes a ways back that made it take like 5 seconds to kill a scout point-blank? It took them nearly a week to go back on that. Meanwhile the Demoman can oneshot Pyros and just about everything else that tries to get close to him with nearly everything he can equip. I think I ought to stop before I write a wall of text here.

Not sure.

I bet the Magistrates Mullet wouldn't clip with the Noh Mercy, and it would look amazing.

Yep, just saw this at the STS too.

I kinda like the RS for the pyro. I think it should have a new model and i think it should have 2 shots. Iv just been playing with the RS and its very powerful. I like the idea because it's a similar idea to the Axetinguisher, anything that supports puff n sting style technique with more aim is ok by me.

Steam keeps going down. Whats going on?

[QUOTE=SnowCanary;32431860]Sounds like a sort of Mutations-esc thing.[/QUOTE] Like in L4D? That'd be really interesting. A new small gamemode every week? Sheeeiitt

[QUOTE=mixshifter;32431924]A new small gamemode every week? Sheeeiitt[/QUOTE]The changes would be so slight that they probably wouldn't matter. It's taken them ages for Raid mode alone. Even Medieval Mode took quite a while and it turned out to just be a new map, and a weapon whitelist with a chat parser/filter.

[QUOTE=SnowCanary;32432041]That's what he's saying, L4D's mutations aren't usually huge things.[/QUOTE]Knowing their history with game modes, it'd be a new mutation once every 2 months :v:

the first mutation would be "spies only" mark my words

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;32430918]Well if we can't have it unnerfed, I'd like an justification at the very least. You can't go around making changes that aren't wanted without some sort of motive, especially after the outcry that followed it's unprecedented nerf. If he claims it was a bug, then he must explain why this "bug" was being encouraged through the progressive changes over the course of the Detonator's lifetime in the tf2beta. If he claims that it was too high, then I want to know why is he the only one who wanted it changed. Ulterior motives, etc etc.[/QUOTE] [url]www.ItWasWitches.com[/url] It's time you knew the truth.

Will the Reserve Shooter switch bonus stack with the Degreaser, giving you 100% faster switch?

"You must have steam beta enabled to use the server browser" Not sure what this means, but I guess I can't play the beta

Mutations are dumb. I quit playing l4d2 and uninstalled it due to the fact it updated like every week with a new one. They all sucked.

[QUOTE=Suttles;32432616]Mutations are dumb. I quit playing l4d2 and uninstalled it due to the fact it updated like every week with a new one.

But now they're doing encore mutations so they haven't really worked on any new ones

[QUOTE=stepat201;32432426]Will the Reserve Shooter switch bonus stack with the Degreaser, giving you 100% faster switch?[/QUOTE] Multiplicative. It's approximately 0.04 seconds faster than the Degreaser's weapon-switch speed. Big whoop.

[QUOTE=stepat201;32432426]Will the Reserve Shooter switch bonus stack with the Degreaser, giving you 100% faster switch?[/QUOTE] Degreaser = 65% Reserve shooter = 15% It'll be 65% + 15%(65%) = 74.75% Edit: Hold on, think I did some math wrong. Edit2: Nope, nvm, seems about right.
