[QUOTE=Suttles;41402109]How's the loose cannon work? I didn't really play with it much, but I remember it being horrible
Is it okay now?[/QUOTE]
Looks to be real donk-a-donk now, but I still don't think I'll be using it.
You can 1hit2donk a full health Scout, though, it's like I'm really playing Peggle

The shorter charge time is leading to some self-damage mistakes because I was used to the old charging time.
But yeah, it's better now. More consistent, and you'll be able to fire more shots in a shorter period thanks to the shorter charge time. The DONK effect is really rad too.
[QUOTE=Rufia;41402075]Have we really gotten to the point were we genuinely believe Valve cannot balance new weapons?[/QUOTE]
let's be honest
yes.
If you want Graybanns, they're in the Green cooler.
- Darwin's Danger shield
- Added: Bullet damage taken reduced by 15%
- Added: Explosive damage taken increased by 20%
Meh.
Dislike this change. Bullets most likely won't do too much to a sniper unless if they are close, and lets be honest if someone is close to you as a sniper you are probably dead anyway.
Explosives are a sniper's biggest problem, I'd prefer it was swapped. Yes, I know other snipers are a huge threat, but -15% damage resistance won't protect you from a fully charged body shot. You would live through a normal headshot, but meh.
If you ask me, Valve's experience with Dota 2 may have taught them a lot about how to balance stuff properly.

Well, you do lose the SMG for that shield, wouldn't it be better if both stats were reductions?
It saddens me greatly to see no third misc slot with so many options now available to classes, then again it took them a long time to add a second...
[QUOTE=LaughingStock;41402190]let's be honest

They balanced the last set pretty well, imho.

correct me if i'm mistaken, but wouldn't the bullet resistance let you live through an uncharged headshot AND a fully charged body shot? they both do 150...

I think the point is that it gives you 'headshot immunity' in a roundabout way.

The season updates are the only times I ever buy from the Mann Co. store, and it won't open because I need the in-game community enabled. It is. Always was. Still doesn't work!

So did they ever fix the 6 slots for Demoman's grenade launcher? I haven't played in a while.
Loose Canon + Charge n' Targe + Caber + Nucleus = ENDLESS FUN.
seriously. the loose canon was so-so prior to the buff, but it is absolutely amazing now.
so any ideas whats in what crate?
I'm really happy with all of this fixes and changes, except for the Escape Plan nerf and the Chargin' Targe buff.
Seriously, why did the Targe need another buff? What ever happened to sticky bombs?
Can someone tell me which crates the 'Bigg Mann On Campus' [img]http://media.steampowered.com/apps/440/icons/jul13_scout_varsity.58c324e50cb47ef7ee752799e75aea3b9b8a47d4.png[/img] and the 'Half-Pipe Hurdler' [img]http://media.steampowered.com/apps/440/icons/jul13_skater_boy.e48a0094893567ce156f84c3ef236b85ebcc4339.png[/img] are in ?

go back in the thread some, i believe xPaw posted images.

they should have nerfed the splendid screen rather than buff the targe, but whatever I'm happy since it's actually more of a pyro nerf.

when the prices go down, I'm going to get this in value of teamwork with a greased lightning. It looks so fucking good.
[QUOTE=Spybreak;41402757]So did they ever fix the 6 slots for Demoman's grenade launcher? I haven't played in a while.[/QUOTE]
Sadly no, and I don't think they ever will, along with shell ejections and the grenade launcher having a visible grey nade on drop.
[QUOTE=rhotickle;41402807]go back in the thread some, i believe xPaw posted images.[/QUOTE]
yes but i wanted to know if anyone knew what item goes in what crate

there'd be so many great combinations
[QUOTE=The Baconator;41402886]there'd be so many great combinations[/QUOTE]
i reckon the best thing they could do is ditch the idea of "hats" and "miscs" and just make hats a bodygroup and let us have 3 cosmetic slots.

Hm. Didn't think about it that way. Although that's not exactly to my benefit, as I play Pyro more than Demo. :v:
Eagle, Skateboard,Boxing Belt, Lt. Bites, Soot Suit, Bug Fixes. Not bad, not bad. Could be better, but good job TF team the game has some much-needed polish now.
