Major Update Speculation Thread V4: Tonight's the Night For QR Codes - Games

You're talking about nerfing the Degreaser when the Degreaser is the only thing that allows the Pyro to compete.

[QUOTE=Armisael;36476011]Just take the buff away from the degreaser as a downside. Ex: Flamethrower gets +10% damage, degreaser gets -10% damage. Net change to degreaser: -1% damage, no one cares.[/QUOTE] flamethrower damage doesn't really matter. It's that axtinguisher hit you're working towards

[QUOTE=BanthaFodder;36475986]If they do one of these, I will be happy: 1. Degreaser with higher airblast cost or 2. Axetinguisher that mini-crits burning targets (but can get random crits)[/QUOTE] Who cares about the random crits on that weapon? It would still be useless due to 50% damage reduction

I can't wait for the update or the multi day update.

how likely do you think it is there'll be a double drop week shit? I could certainly use the items and chance at hats.

[QUOTE=Sardonus;36476049]how likely do you think it is there'll be a double drop week shit? I could certainly use the items and chance at hats.[/QUOTE] Very high, I'd say. And on the subject of the shotgun/degreaser thing: Sometimes I use them with the rake when I know there isn't a medic on my team. I just flame, puff, then shoot while hopping like a jackass. It works wonders. That makes me pretty much immune to the downside, is what I mean.

i absolutely hate the axti "hurr what is a flame thrower all i have is this thing i use to light people on fire, my main weapon is an axe hurkadurk" the attendant set with shotty is pretty much the best for pyro anyway

I just uninstalled Transformers War for Cybertron, just so I could be sure I'd have enough space for the Update. Does anyone know, if I copy ALL of my Steam files to a portable hard drive and delete it off of my actual hard drive, will I still be able to access Steam normally so long as the portable hard drive is plugged in?

I run Degreaser/Flare Gun. People expect the Axtinguisher and so they react for that. Meanwhile I'm backing off and pegging them for 90 damage.

hmmm no terrible crate limiting weapons gimmick this update. Between the Summer Sale and Christmas 2011 I was almost thinking they were going to pull it again. Let's see how they manage to ruin this update.

[QUOTE=Creeper120;36476043]I can't wait for the update or the multi day update.[/QUOTE] I'm hoping for a multi day update. Multi day updates are always a wonderful time here on Facepunch, the threads are active all day long, excitement is in the air, it's kinda like an internet festival. It's like woodstock, except without the mud and sex and drugs and.... everything else.

[QUOTE=Grimhound;36476091]I run Degreaser/Flare Gun. People expect the Axtinguisher and so they react for that. Meanwhile I'm backing off and pegging them for 90 damage.[/QUOTE] what do you use in your melee slot?

My backpack is still fucking pathetic. Don't even have a quarter of the weapons, and only 2 hats :v

[QUOTE=Grimhound;36476036]You're talking about nerfing the Degreaser when the Degreaser is the only thing that allows the Pyro to compete.[/QUOTE] Yes, but the Degreaser just outmatches the stock Flamethrower, the last thing we need is more forgotten stock weapons, but the Flamethrower is the Pyro's signature weapon and like all the other classes signature weapons should remain a decent balanced weapon. We're trying to figure out how to nerf the Degreaser without breaking it, but the main problem is that everyone uses the Degreaser, even I use the Degreaser.

[QUOTE=Sardonus;36476105]fantastic. My backpack is still fucking pathetic. Don't even have a quarter of the weapons, and only 2 hats :v[/QUOTE] why do you need the hats? trade them away for weapons!

Maybe Degreaser can cause crits to turn into minicrits. Also, late but... [IMG]http://imgur.com/8IwHc.jpg[/IMG]

I hope the Mule Molester will shoot a reverse Cow Mangler laser. When you fire there is a small explosion in front of the Scout that shoots a laser that does one 20 damage attack that doesn't go through people. The explosion does 40-80 or so damage depending on how far away the Scout is when he shoots the weapon.

[QUOTE=wlzshroom;36476104]what do you use in your melee slot?[/QUOTE] Whatever fits the map. Usually Homewrecker or Backscratcher.

[QUOTE=Grimhound;36476091]I run Degreaser/Flare Gun. People expect the Axtinguisher and so they react for that. Meanwhile I'm backing off and pegging them for 90 damage.[/QUOTE] The way you talk strategy's pretty interesting. Do you have replays or something? It'd be fun to see you ingame.

[QUOTE=wlzshroom;36476116]why do you need the hats? trade them away for weapons![/QUOTE] hats are what defines a man a man with no hats should just kill himself

[QUOTE=Grimhound;36476129]Whatever fits the map. Usually Homewrecker or Backscratcher.[/QUOTE] have you ever tried running a powerjack in that slot and getting your mitts on an attendant? [editline]25th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Sardonus;36476134]hats are what defines a man a man with no hats should just kill himself[/QUOTE] who needs hats when you have stranges there's also the fact that the modest pile of hat is the best hat of all time

Dang, I have a job interview tomorrow but hopefully will be able to get home before Zero Hour. We are expecting the update to begin around Valve time afternoon... right?

Pretty sure makani's doing the comic. she's started posting again [img]http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmqy8sPSg41qkwdtzo1_1280.jpg[/img]

Well, I'm still in the dark as far as my hard drive issue goes. I figure I'll just leave it as is, then test it later on in the Summer when I have actual work to get done, so it won't be a total tragedy if I'm stuck re-installing all of my Steam shit for a week V:v:V

I think reddish grey and light blue sonic energy that moves very fast would fit scout better than regular lazars.
