For some reason they didn't renew the lease and some malicious person took over the domain.

What if they didn't renew the lease because the TF Team told them about all the things they were doing to fix Pyro, and the domain owner was satisfied?

A message to TFTeam from pyro mains in the format of a website.
Basically detailing every issue with Pyro they'd like to see fixed.

guess i'll hop on this bandwagon as well

If the update drops on october 10th, i'll give one random [B]late[/B] voter a Genuine Anger

Oh I see, I was almost wondering if it was some sort of ARG stuff I missed

Probably old but I just noticed how many fingers Team Crabwalk Rocketjump Fortress is holding up. :unimpressed:

[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;52678636]That means that they're probably going to try to actually make a viable Sharpened Volcano Fragment. Does anybody have any ideas for it?[/QUOTE]

My thought has always been an alt-fire a la the Sandman or Wrap Assassin, only it lobs a ball of lava a shorter distance that spreads over a radius on the ground for a few seconds that causes burning/afterburn. Lasts for a short time for area-denial, making it ideal for cornering or redirecting enemies.

Could be countered with Jarate/Mad Milk to make it disappear sooner, and it would also enable Pyro to have two ranged weapons, so probably not the strongest idea but it's something I've always come back to. Couldn't really think of a viable downside to balance it.

We have about an hour til this week becomes not the week either.

Jesus fucking Christ, Valve.

It's only Wednesday, not Thursday. I'm not expecting the update this week either but let's not get dour yet over no news on a Wednesday.

[Enclave]

You know? I hope that the update brings back some old friends to play with. Playing casual alone doesn't feel right, and my favourite community server seems to be dying (or at the brink of death).

i think they've only released a blog+update on the same day once or twice. although it's unlikely, i [I]really[/I] hope it comes out either tomorrow or next week. a blog + launch on the same day would be a very nice surprise.

[GladoSC]

[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;52679319]It's only Wednesday, not Thursday. I'm not expecting the update this week either but let's not get dour yet over no news on a Wednesday.[/QUOTE]

I still don't want to believe they would release an update this big (or I hope it's big) without at least a day of teasing. Hell, if they really want to make this worth the wait, they should do 2-3 days of news. So yeah, they can still start this even on Friday but Tuesday/Wednesday with Thursday/Friday release is the most realistic prediction.

[Contra]

[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;52679319]It's only Wednesday, not Thursday. I'm not expecting the update this week either but let's not get dour yet over no news on a Wednesday.[/QUOTE]

There's no way they're going to single-day an update this huge or two-day and release it on Friday, considering how many things it's going to inevitably break. Unless they're planning working some more weekends, I don't see any reason why they would do something like that.

Either way, this is fucking ridiculous. It has been [b]fifteen months[/b] since our last actual Major Update, which was fucking MYM! We've been chewing on ass aftertaste for over a year and we still aren't getting a fucking content update? There is no excuse for this anymore.

Tf2 GC&SS: The Night of Toxx

[Mort Stroodle]

I've been thinking about Valve's amby change, and I think a better way of dealing with long range amby than bullet spread is to, instead of making it crit on headshot, make it do 3X damage on headshot. It's the same damage increase, except the bullets still suffer from damage falloff. Long range headshots still deal damage, and they're still perfectly accurate, but due to falloff they only do 51 damage.

This would also increase close-range damage due to ramp up though.

Valve corporate structure actually being conducive to game development and not just an excuse to snort coke while wearing VR headsets

Hmm, you're right, it would be able to oneshot medics, which is ridiculous. You'd have to give it a custom falloff curve that disables rampup and only has falloff, leaving it at 34 (105 headshot) even at point blank. It might be too unintuitive.

More multiclass weapons! Mostly just existing weapons that can be shared, winger, family business. Maybe even some melee weapons.

:toxx: If the update does not drop, or at least a day 1 blog post, by Halloween then I will give a random feedback rating giver a free key.

Edit: please remind me on Steam or via Email if I somehow forget.

set a Google reminder for Halloween to check for an update and deliver on your statement if your terms have been met

also stop toxxing everything, people, it's actually getting boring now

I mean, maybe make bigger jumps, other than that just some variety.

[Mort Stroodle]

[QUOTE=Petroklos;52679403]Would the Winger change anything on the Engy? :S[/QUOTE]

Actually it could be useful, higher jumps might be enough to reach building spots he wasn't able to before, without having to set up a sentry beforehand and use the wrangler to sentry jump. That 20% is higher than you'd think.

Family business on anybody other than heavy seems overpowered though
