Major Update Speculation V16: The Monoculus RIFT Well Spun Hat Promo Edition - Games

An improved Sun-on-a-Stick could go something like this: 100% critical hit vs burning players +30% damage vs burning players -50% damage vs non-burning players No critical hits vs non-burning players This way you deal a crazy 136 damage per strike - but, it's also quite situational and dangerous to use.

It keeps the functionality of the original weapon but actually makes it useful without it being overpowered.

Valve really needs to fix the tauntslide bug. It's getting really annoying.

[QUOTE=kibbleknight;40026355]check the post again, i seem to have forgotten to add the "minicrits instead of crits" edit: Here makes the crit-a-cola slightly more useful, but risks the extra damage from using it, giving it some slight balancing.[/QUOTE] So now a Soda Popper scout would do a 150 minicrit and light an enemy on fire for an additional 60 damage. So basically that would kill everything in the game aside from a heavy

guys did pax just end or is there one more day still? im worried about pn2 D:

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;40027788]Valve really needs to fix the tauntslide bug. It's getting really annoying.[/QUOTE] But at the same time, they should also make it a server command. Maybe like: tf_tauntslide_enabled, which would be set to 0 by default if it gets fixed.

I seem to remember that there was a taunt having to do with a weapon, like "mmphhh" that just stopped you in your tracks, not letting you to tauntslide. I know with sandwiches and steak it just depletes the bar but has no affect if you tauntslide, but was it mmphh that freezes you?

They didn't want to fix it on all taunts. though you can still skip the animation if you use it on moving things like enemies or a mvm tank.

[QUOTE=Cosa8888;40028063]Same with the High five[/QUOTE] Yeah, it was the high-five I was thinking of. Also, I just noticed that crouching in humiliation is still broken.

It's the 25th of March right now, timezones be damned

I took a screenshot of some blue critglows on my weapons even though I was on the RED team and not getting any crits, and I was gonna show it to Ned so he could cry, but the screenshot didn't upload. :( sad pageking is sad

I was at least hoping we would get some info on Fables while we also wait for Poker Night 2 info, but evidently nobody reported on it even though Telltale supposedly revealed new info about Fables to people this weekend at some Fables event.

[QUOTE=The Calzone;40027636]You're thinking out of the box here, which is good, but there's a reason certain things aren't in the box in the first place. The visual indicators for bleeding aren't as noticable as fire. With a bleeding player, they gush blood a little bit and flinch with pain, but that's it. On top of that, not many players are going to find themselves bleeding except for spies and the occasional guy that gets decked by an ornament. It's not a common enough thing to base a weapon around countering.[/QUOTE] How about hitting allies gets rid of their negative status effects? Bleed - gets cauterized Fire - Absorbed by the stick, possibly stores a crit/minicrit Jarate/Milk - The stick is so hot if evaporate the jarate/milk off of them If its hard to see, perhaps have a tiny status efffect icon over the effected ally only medics/scouts with the stick can see?

[QUOTE=Corporal Yippie;40031164]wheatleys ok, i can manage wheatley but wheatley AND claptrap will make me decapitate myself[/QUOTE] hell, just claptrap would drive me to insanity

I have very strong doubts that we will see both Claptrap AND Wheatley. They both kind of fill similar general personality niches and would probably both even play Texas Hold 'em the same way (read: very badly, like Strong Bad). So I guess if that were the case they'd be relatively easy to get off the table if it came to it. If you want to talk more about how this affects TF2, I offer this. What if... the Big Kill got re-released alongside the new addition of Sam's hat? edit: bring on the clocks

For those of you wondering if there was anything relevant at PAX for TF2 an PN2.... There wasn't. PAX East was mostly League of Legends, Indie Games, crazy cosplayers, and neckbeards. No Valve booths. Or Oculus Rift booths. There was a guy selling Portal and TF2 shirts though. I asked him if he were selling the plastic sadviches but they were not. No Telltale or anything. Nothing. Sorry guys.

Guests start arriving today folks. Grab your keys and your Poker Chips....then wait for another 5 or 6 days :v:
