Honestly kinda surprised to see that there. Been nearly over a year now[/QUOTE]

Any plans to improve it? I don't mind if it won't be improved though, I think it still looks nice.

[QUOTE]We're working on a mandatory update for TF2. This is the Tough Break Update.

What the fuck is with those claidheamh mor changes, Why did they nerf the only skill indexed sword that wasnt a shitty pub stomp gimmick. I dont care about the tide turner resists I just dont get why they had to shit on a weapon noone had a problem with.

Yeah, will most likely do some improvements, given the glove is a bit blurry and the zipper being a bit sharp, and the metal strap holders streching in some poses.

Can someone tell me how you subscribe to these emails? I can't find it.

Tomorrow I have to wake up at 5:30 am for studying. Now it's 11 pm.

But I'll wait

Eric...

It'll be here when you wake up, don't worry. Take care of yourself first and foremost.

You sure? My browser says the website is trying to steal my data or something..

[QUOTE=Shiroku;49339091]Eric is a good man.
However he said mandatory not major.
Kinda scary. (Unless Smissmas is the 'major' update)[/QUOTE]

The email said it was the Tough Break Update.

Mine does as well, but it's safe.

What's up with valve COMPLETELY changing the weapon's mechanic and niche after fucking 4 years? Look at Persian Persuader for christ's sake.
It's ABSOLUTELY useless with sticky launcher.

Persian Persuader
Removed ammo pickups granting health instead of ammo
Added penalties of reduced primary and secondary ammo
Ammo pickups now replenish charge
Now gains charge meter on hit

This example is just one of the many weapon that got completly counter-productive changes.

Claidheamh Mor's got it worse. They turned one of the most interesting, balanced swords into a worse version of the Half-Zatoichi. Way to go, Valve.

That's strange. Oh well, it worked, thank you

[Fluury]

Why are people expecting new weapons? This is clearly a 1 day Update and its happening in the next few hours.

[ned_ballad]

It's Dota 2 styled balance and coming from my experience with that game, it works really well. Entire years are distinguished by their meta because of the constant, major changes the game gets.

If people make a big enough stink about it it'll likely be changed back.

They actually touched Airblast and the Degreaser so anything's possible.

So you're mad that a weapon that's only useful with 100% melee now has uses outside of 100% melee while still being useful for 100% melee in granting greater charge recharge capacity. Remember, the stupid thing still grants 100% faster charge recharge on top of these changes.

The only thing I'm sour about is that it demands a shield to be useful, but at least it has uses for combat-kit players instead of strictly for melee-man players.

"Remember when the game was fun?"

"Oh yeah, that was the season two years ago. How nice that was."

[Galactic S.O.U.L]

I'm a little bummed about the degreaser changes, but hey, it'll encourage people to try other flamethrowers

It has its highs and lows. For every legendary plays and amazing metas, you have three month slogs through demoralizing patches where 2-3 extremely annoying heroes dominate the entire meta and you almost give up hope of ever enjoying the game again.

Not that the latter happened.

This year around spring.

The only change they needed to make was the ability to pick up ammo if at full health, or a quarter of the ammo is gained from packs alongside health.

I talked to him on Steam a while ago, he doesn't know. He's just guessing.

He had to run errands so it was likely just to mean "later."
