Major Update Speculation: V8: Rise of the Machines! - Games

Talking about Valve franchises, everyone forgot Alien Swarm :(

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;37812296]I always preferred working alone.[/QUOTE] Isn't the fun of working at Valve communicating with the people around you while you all work on a project? Going to Valve to work alone is like going to a prom to dance by yourself.

[QUOTE=Gimme20dollaz;37813080]Anyone else think they should nerf the Pomson 6000?[/QUOTE] Another nerf to the Pomson, after it [b]already lost the ability to penetrate through targets[/b]? Are you [b]insane[/b]?

[QUOTE=Chaofanatic;37813206]They need to "buff" it by giving it an effect that actually matches the hitbox.[/QUOTE] Same goes for the Righteous Bison, I was playing on tr_walkway yesterday and I noticed the hitbox is fucking gigantic compared to the projectile (though that might be to make it easier to light arrows on fire).

[QUOTE=Gimme20dollaz;37813080]Anyone else think they should nerf the Pomson 6000?[/QUOTE] Yeah, it should damage the Engineer 20 HP per second while he has it out

[QUOTE=ThatSwordGuy;37813519]Yeah, it should damage the Engineer 20 HP per second while he has it out[/QUOTE] I sure hope you're being sacarstic.

[QUOTE=Manibogi;37813546]I sure hope you're being sacarstic.[/QUOTE] Why would I ever suggest such a thing if I was being genuine

Soooo guys..... my game doesn't show hats, not even on the class loadout preview, plus it lost all the sounds except for the announcer lines... Did a steam file validation and it gets stuck at 100% wat do? EDIT: it's all sorted now...weird

[QUOTE=mixshifter;37813406]Isn't the fun of working at Valve communicating with the people around you while you all work on a project? Going to Valve to work alone is like going to a prom to dance by yourself.[/QUOTE] It's fun when you're anti-social.

so what does people think about a "versus" mode for MvM? A player team controlling robots vs a standard 6 player team. I think it would be fantastic with a few tweaks.

[QUOTE=Gimme20dollaz;37813080]Anyone else think they should nerf the Pomson 6000?[/QUOTE] It needs both a nerf and a good buff. I still think it was only nerfed because of MvM. Imagine an upgraded Pomson plus a sentry.

[QUOTE=Hell-met;37814045]so what does people think about a "versus" mode for MvM? A player team controlling robots vs a standard 6 player team. I think it would be fantastic with a few tweaks.[/QUOTE] You mean a half-real-time-strategy, half-first-person-shooter-action mode? [b]LIKE DOTA (2) AND TEAM FORTRESS 2 COMBINED?![/b] I'd be down with it!

[QUOTE=omegasupreme1;37814068]It needs both a nerf and a good buff. I still think it was only nerfed because of MvM. Imagine an upgraded Pomson plus a sentry.[/QUOTE] It got nerfed because it punished medics when they were hiding behind their healing target, like their supposed to.

[QUOTE=1112e;37814136]It got nerfed because it punished medics when they were hiding behind their healing target, like their supposed to.[/QUOTE] Either way, they changed it in the worst way possible aside from increasing the drains

i hope they release halloween at a fitting time instead of releasing it like a week before then having it go to thanksgiving

[QUOTE=Liquidrocks;37813296]Talking about Valve franchises, everyone forgot Alien Swarm :([/QUOTE] Worse! Everyone forgot Ricochet!

I'm calling it now. Oc[B]tobor[/B]

[QUOTE=kooper44;37814659]I'm calling it now. Oc[B]tobor[/B][/QUOTE] Been called.

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;37814823]Been called.[/QUOTE] Really? Dang.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37810900]Dota 2 has a huge super mega content patch coming next week[/QUOTE] And of course, we're all [I]SUPER[/I] excited about it here on the TF2 forum.

[QUOTE=1112e;37814136]It got nerfed because it punished medics when they were hiding behind their healing target, like their supposed to.[/QUOTE] Like the Bison does? Medics have to dodging all the time, not waiting behind a meat shield.

It hardly matters to me whether or not I'm dodging stuff or not. When I'm Medic, explosions have 400% larger radius', bullets are attracted by the magnetism that is being a Medic, and fire burns 20x longer.

I dunno about you guys, but my biggest worry as Medic is running out of ammo. Blutsauger plus good aim plus opportunistic knowledge granted by the Solemn Vow does that to you.

My biggest worry when playing Medic is why I'm on a team so bad I actually had to switch to my worst class.

Anybody else gotten this glitch with stranges where randomnly it will go up 2 entire ranks at the same time? What's up with that? I think it happened around 1000 kills.

[QUOTE=ThatSprite;37817224]Anybody else gotten this glitch with stranges where randomnly it will go up 2 entire ranks at the same time? What's up with that? I think it happened around 1000 kills.[/QUOTE] 999 and 1000 are two different ranks. Did you get a double kill or something?

I've seen many a people freak out about that on various servers. Always a chuckle.

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;37817340]It got nerfed because some people cried a lake of tears that killed multiple Medics, which is how other people got the idea that it's 'too powerful' while Equaliser and Sticky Launcher are [I]just fine[/I]![/QUOTE] The Pomson having the ability to penetrate players is completely fine. It's the drains on the most important mechanic in the entire game that was the err of every Medic player whenever there was a Pomson Engineer in the vicinity. The hitboxes being the size of a truck don't help at all. I'm a Medic main, things kill me. It's something that's to be expected. Having my Medigun lose 10% of the Ubercharge that I had built up is not only unexpected, but it happens to slow the game's pacing by staggering pushes by an extra number of seconds (it stacks up, especially if it causes a failed Uber pop that directly leads to the death of the Medic or his combat class teammates.) The Pomson's Uberdrain has the same amount of threat to a Medic as a Sniper does. A competent Engineer would be able to force the Medic to pop before he even rounded the corner if he wanted to actually use his ubercharge, which gives even less time for the Sentry to get taken out due to travel time (this isn't accounting for the Engineer's teammates who might want to help out).

Fixed Pomson is good.
