[QUOTE=Fruitpunch;53068944]I'm getting so sick of being put on games that are hightower exclusively. Like jesus people vote for something else for pete's sake. I've removed it from my queue but it's like people are obsessed with this map. I finish one enjoyable game of one map I haven't played in a god damn while and hightower shows up. AND EVERYBODY FUCKING VOTES FOR IT. It's gotten so annoying since people only play hightower. Not to mention I sometimes swear that I have hightower unchecked from my queue and it sitll puts me in hightower games. I swear to god this map is gonna be the end of me.[/QUOTE]
if they put a timer on hightower and whichever team's cart was the closest won (with sudden death if both carts were at the base of the tower or the same ramp), the map would be infinitely better (because it would actually end), and "hightower culture" would finally end

hightower isnt popular because objectives are too difficult, its popular because its perfect for hide-and-seek, sniping and "trolldier"
So I want to make a few small alterations to the default hud, can anyone give me the instructions for these changes?

Is it really? Hightower is one of my least favorite maps for sniping. There is no front line to hide behind, anyone can come at you from anywhere.

Toonhud does most of this by default
[QUOTE=Zadrave;53069102]Toonhud does most of this by default[/QUOTE]
I like the default hud, but I've not used toonhud or any custom hud in a while. Made another toonhud hud.
I want a hud website like toonhud that lets me edit things like the scoreboard and killfeed at a very detailed level.

[QUOTE=qubestf2;53067505]I wish Needle Guns were better.
Make them heal 1(2, 5 on crit) hp per hit on teammate atleast, I never see anyone ever use needle guns unless It's a leonardo.gonzales.2004. Makes me sad
Valve, pls fix :([/QUOTE]
Yeah the needle guns all need a buff and I'm hoping they get one in the next balance update. It's going to be hard to balance them to not make them too good but good enough to compete with the crossbow.
The first buff they should get is passive reload like the crossbow and flare guns.
I think one of them could have something like reduced afterburn damage and reduced fall damage to help keep the medic alive.

The reason people play hightower is because the game takes billion years to end.
Looking back on the [URL="https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Team_Fortress_2_Closed_Beta"]TF2 Closed Beta[/URL] that happened during 2009, apparently there were two nerfs tested for the Übersaw: one with -25% damage penalty, and another one that on hit, it inflicts 25 damage to the Medic.
The damage penalty nerf would backfire since that would mean that the Medic could get more über off of a player, but the "On Hit: -25 health" seems interesting since they wanted to make even more high risk for the Medic since über is a powerful tool. None of these changes were ultimately implemented, but it's interesting to read that the Übersaw was going to get nerfed, and then it has gone unchanged for 9 years ever since those nerfs were tested. It's still not what I'd call a balanced weapon, but a medic that takes 25% über off me while sacrificing 25 of their health to do so would actually make it more exciting and maybe a borderline BM move, and people do want to keep that excitement.
Another interesting addition to note was the first GRU beta, which was supposed to take 100 health off the Heavy (200 normal heath, 300 health with overheal) and have a mediocre melee option while making the heavy 30% faster on wearer. It's funny to think how the GRU we have now does also sacrifice temporarily your maximum health for speed, while that version was "permanent" in that sense and even then it would've been competitive-accepted. Maybe.
What do you guys think of the beta weapons in general?

Tbh looking back at TF2 Beta, I'm sure Fire Retardant Suit for the Spy would fit at the moment considering how overpowered Pyro is. Spy is literally defenseless against Pyro right now.

Dead Ringer/Spycicle make you pretty much impervious to Pyros. You won't have your weapon half the time... but it does work.

I disagree, the new afterburn is a godsend for Spies.
not to mention the stupid bits like cloak further reducing status effects and damage by 20% is still in effect.
as is burn disabling healing for a while :hurr:
[QUOTE=agrastiOs;53069824]I disagree, the new afterburn is a godsend for Spies.[/QUOTE]
Sure, If you manage to survive 200 damage pyro deals in 1.5 seconds.
Oh, not to forget that a dead pyro can still hit you for 80+ damage.

I'm curious, why do you think these are bad changes? I'm not saying they are [I]good[/I] changes, and not even the cloak's damage resistance and status reduction is stated anywhere, but I never see anywhere why they're bad other than they're "dumb".
Afterburn reducing healing is only really effective against level one dispensers, so it's not that even useful in the first place...
Damn it, the post about test running any item in the game was a [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/7rvdjt/sent_to_reddit_a_fake_screenshot_showing_non/"]hoax[/URL].
Somehow they test run a normal item and modified the item schema to show a golden pan.

the point is valve shoves all these bad changes for an older state of the game, only to forget about them forever when the rest of the game changes yet again.
that's how spaghetti happens

They didn't forget about the healing reduction, in JI they changed it from the fire particles to afterburn, and reduced it from 25 to 20%

that may be the case, however the current state of flamethrowers does not justify any such extra effect whatsoever.
valve's too reluctant to remove bad descisions so we're still stuck with that terrible mechanic forever. see minigun rampup

I was playing Banana Bay for the advanced Spy contract a few days ago and noticed something. The clouds move/the skybox rotates on this map! The skybox on 2Fort used to rotate apparently, but it's been broken for years.
banana bay is the new horizontal hightower.
[QUOTE=Metaru;53069955]banana bay is the new horizontal hightower.[/QUOTE]
I feel like what makes hightower the DM map it is is the fact there there is a med pack at every fucking corner
Do you guys think TFTeam will do something with asteroid and cactus canyon with the Heavy Update?
I personally think both maps are abandoned content.

Just have to wait for the mapper to return to the team, like what happened to Powerhouse.
