Still, what's up with the Loose Cannon's damage? Shows no damage penalty compared to the vanilla GL in its stats, but direct hits consistently do less damage. Wasn't that touched up in this patch?

Since it's a different projectile, it bases its damage off of whatever they assigned to it. It's the same with the Rescue Ranger, all Flare Guns, Huntsman, Crusader's Crossbow, and so forth.
Ah, so it is not a Grenade Launcher, but a new weapon type. That explains it, thanks.

It also explains why they forgot to make it minicrit when it's reflected.
It also explains how they made the Mangler projectiles travel slower than stock rockets and return as critical hits when reflected.
It still is technically a grenade launcher, it's just that the projectiles aren't grenades.
Still, a Crossbow instead of a Syringe Gun, a Bow instead of a Sniper Rifle, or a Flare Gun/Laser Pistol instead of a Shotgun give a better feeling of all different weapon type than stuff like the Pomsom, Rescue Ranger, Cow Mangler or Loose Cannon.

I fucking KNEW they felt slower. I think they move at normal speeds now though
[QUOTE=PlainBlandMan;41432182]The new changes to the Darwin's Danger Shield suck donkey balls. Too many soldiers and demoes around to make it good for anything.[/QUOTE]
Honestly it needs the downside removed I mean seriously it never had a downside and no one argued.
But I think the biggest one who got downright raped is the cozy camper it makes sniper the weakest class in the game after kunai spy, And would deserve the downside removed or at least changed.

the downside is you lost your secondary. now its double downsided.
[QUOTE=Eriorguez;41438330]I still think we should get KoTH versions of Arena maps that lack one. We are missing quite awesome maps...
By the way, are there any community Special Delivery maps out there?
[/QUOTE]
Yeah I'm surprised we haven't see KotH versions of the remaining Arena maps. Some would require reworking, like adding health packs/metal, and in some cases like Lumberyard they would need to move the spawns further back, but it would be a pretty easy way to add more content to the game.

Oh, you should check the UGC forums, everyone's mad because the Countersniping metagame got fucked over :v:
[QUOTE=Eriorguez;41438107]Oh god the new Powerjack is fun as hell. The Gas Jockey was already awesome, and this feels like an outright buff.[/QUOTE]
I don't know, I feel any health I get is taken away by the 20% vulnerability, I liked it much better before when it was just melee vulnerability (and I didn't even use the Gas Jockey set).
[QUOTE=Erfly;41429579]And for new weapons, we have the winger, which people will actually use now, and plenty of other tweaks to make older weapons viable.[/QUOTE]
Nah, the winger is still pretty bad. The jump boost is negligible and only applies to your first jump if you have the thing out which you would never normally have because it is a pretty worthless weapon in a fight.

I guess it makes it better for countersnipers, but as a Huntsman, I can hardly get towards the front line without a rocket sapping my health in one hit. The bullet resistance is only really helpful against Sniper bullets anyways; Otherwise, Valve just nerfed a perfectly decent shield.
EDIT: Thanks to the change, it's harder to fulfil my Link fantasies too. It's not like he ever had 20% explosive vulnerability.

I find it useful if you're a jumper, I found that using good timing I could get places needed the FaN and the Atomizer, now I just need the pistol and the FaN and I can get to the same places, without the loss of 10 hp. Of course it needs proper timing, but I have found it useful so far. Have yet to find a place where I can use all three weapons to full effect however.
