[QUOTE=J-RcZ;36467940]I'm getting the feeling that Valve seriously hates Pyro. That makes me sad.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure they stopped respecting him as a character when they added the birdcage.

[QUOTE=J-RcZ;36467940]I'm getting the feeling that Valve seriously hates Pyro. That makes me sad.[/QUOTE] They hate neither of the classes. We also thought this of the Medic, because he has only got that small amount of voice lines and unlocks. And then: THE UBER UPDATE with the arguably best Meet-the-Team short to date.

I want Pyro to have a squirt gun, like the flaregun. A squirt gun that shoots gasoline. It'd be the awesomest combo ever: shoot gasoline, switch to flamethrower, burn, then switch to axtinguisher and finish him off.

i want the pyro to not have shitty items

What I'm getting at is that the Axtinguisher is OP. Nerf pls.

A few pages ago you were talking about how every salvaged crate needs a crap item, and I'm amazed you never thought of the Fan o'war. I don't think there's a strange variant for that weapon yet.

I don't think there's a strange variant for that weapon yet.[/QUOTE] Crate #50 will contain the following strange items: -Fan o' war -Pain Train -Rocket Jumper -Sticky Jumper

I think these items will be alternative crafting ingredients for random chance crafts. Lint: Fabric hats/Achievement weapons from Class Updates Banana: Funny, silly, and crazy hats/weapons from the first few contribution updates and Mann Conomy Update Barn Door Plank: Weapons from first few contribution updates and Mann Conomy/Wooden Weapons Fish: Hats from the third Community contribution update to the Uber Update/Weapons past the Mann Conomy to Christmas 2010 Cheese: Promotion hats/Promotion weapons Capacitor: Futuristic hats/Weapons built on electricity or some power source Secret Diary: A hat or weapon of your choice, but requires 11 Refined/Reclaimed metal respectively

[QUOTE=Kapellmeister;36468063]Or just "burn, then switch to axtinguisher and finish him off". What I'm getting at is that the Axtinguisher is OP. Nerf pls.[/QUOTE] It isn't. You're supposed to die in close combat with a Pyro.

[QUOTE=Kapellmeister;36468063]Or just "burn, then switch to axtinguisher and finish him off". What I'm getting at is that the Axtinguisher is OP. Nerf pls.[/QUOTE] I think that the critical damage dealt by the Axtinguisher should be based on fire damage. It's sad that any Pyro can one-hit you as Demoknight with the Degreaser, the Axtinguisher and that damned button-mashing-combo while having 50% or 20% fire resistance, beating you on close range while you are supposed to be a very good class on melee range. Also, it's fun see so many Pyro players turned into shitty ones because his high dependance on that two weapons and the item server being down :v:

[QUOTE=royaldanney;36468182]It isn't. You're supposed to die in close combat with a Pyro.[/QUOTE] As any class under almost any circumstances? I don't think so.

I just realised that this update might introduce a whole sack of new weapons, there's still around 20 I don't have.

[QUOTE=Mr. Magoolachub;36468216]As any class under almost any circumstances? I don't think so.[/QUOTE] No, only under the circumstance you letting the Pyro get close enough or not noticing him ambushing.

[QUOTE=Rageguy;36468204]tf2 community on monday again [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46tTPlg_dis[/media][/QUOTE] What does Kodak rhyme with? KODAK! Genius.

[QUOTE=Mr. Magoolachub;36468216]As any class under almost any circumstances? I don't think so.[/QUOTE] Heavies shred pyros in close range. And if you let a pyro get to point blank with you, either they successfully ambushed you or you can't aim worth a damn and deserve to die.

[QUOTE=J-RcZ;36468174]Having a Hale's Own Fan would be considered godlike.[/QUOTE] It should be Victims Marked for Death Killed, with you hitting your enemy with the FOW and you can finish him off with anything else.

[QUOTE=royaldanney;36467879]I made a short comparison of it. It's ridiculous. [thumb]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/24289720/tauntcompare.png[/thumb][/QUOTE] Wow I didn't knew pyro didn't even have a costume taunt.

[QUOTE=J-RcZ;36468262]What does Kodak rhyme with? KODAK! Genius.[/QUOTE] Yoda, k?

Need a Pyro secondary that will let you take your mask off and induce the "running scared" animation to anyone looking directly at you. Think about this, every time you kill someone without taking damage from that person it adds a "tick" to a Self Esteem meter. When that shit gets full you can perform a kind of phlogistinator taunt in which you tear your mask off revealing one of many hilarious or creepy face models sending anyone who sees your nasty mug running in terror and sadly demolishing your self esteem yet again. [sp]not serious in the least[/sp]

Back to QR codes. With fine folks in IRC, we completed all images to match md5 sums provided by Valve. [url]http://xpaw.ru/lab/tf2arg-part1/[/url] Also includes junk data that is appended to each image.

I'm uhh.. ready? [url]http://tf2b.com/tf2/steelkyo[/url] (alt account just for garbage) Hope this junk has purpose.

[QUOTE=LawrenceThist;36468269]It should be Victims Marked for Death Killed, with you hitting your enemy with the FOW and you can finish him off with anything else.[/QUOTE] It could just count marks place on enemies, that'd be a lot easier to rank up. And i still want a Strange Sandvich that tracks "Dinners with Friend" and "Dinners Alone".
