Team Fortress 2 General Chat - Oh Shit Edition

[UpgradeTech]

I know that there's remnants of a spawn room for RED underneath the 1st capture point for Stage 2 Dustbowl.

I've always wondered how it would affect the game.

It would be almost impossible on instant spawn servers.

Video of me and my friend goofing around in a pub 30 players server. I only captioned the most important bits. Captions are translation from Vietnamese to English in the easiest way to understand.

Edited with Windows Movie Maker 12, and it's shit, I know. Anyone has a more powerful video editing software that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? And I would appreciate for feedbacks on how to improve my timing/cutting/editing.

Then it's crashing before the engine can even load the game. Sorry, I don't know how to help you, try asking around the Steam Forums for TF2.

[QUOTE=Prollgurke;47206121]No, it just feels like my fps drop to something around 30-60, it feels unprecise and like everything is a bit delayed. The fps counters always show more than 100 fps so I was wondering what could cause this. It started some days ago.

This happened to me when I used v-sync for some reason.

Only thing I can recommend is changing your setting to the lowest. If you get the same result then it's not performance issues. if it stops, put your settings up one by one until it starts again. That's all I can recommend sorry.

[QUOTE=Punchy;47207950]Killstreaks should keep track of the highest killstreak achieved, similar to how strange parts work. It'd make them a bit more useful for putting on unique items such as ones without a strange variant yet.[/QUOTE]

Too much exploitable. Maybe the number of times that you've reached a 5 killstreak and/or a 10 killstreak?

[QUOTE=Whyt546;47208957]It would be almost impossible on instant spawn servers.[/QUOTE]

It's already a huge pain the ass at least on instant respawn servers. The game was in no way balanced for instant respawn in the same way it was never balanced for 30 players. I still have no idea why these types of servers that still try and play the objective are so popular.

The most fun I had with the TF2 blog is when the Meet the Spy video was leaked on YouTube and Robin Walker started posting fake messages about him firing every developer under him in the most amusing ways possible

[Jacketto]

It piss me off how people are more interested in making dumb stats for guns in the workshop than giving real feed back about the gun, just saw a submision with 0 coments and one thread about stats with 10 comments.

But anything is bette than "EICP PLS VLABE ADD IT AN GIVE ONE!"

Stage 3 is already impossible for BLU on instant spawn servers

run away from instant spawn dustbowl servers

for that matter, run away from dustbowl in general

The day Valve nuffs the Reserver Shooter and Degreaser loadout will be the day millions of pyros cry in their sleep, while millions of Soldiers and Demos can sleep peacefully.

Expect we all know that day won't ever come

reserve shooter doesn't need a nerf, it needs to be removed from pyro entirely

degreaser needs a nerf

axtinguisher needs to be brought back to always-crits

I dont know what all those error are, and if they are the cause of the problem. Tf2 is the only game I play and i have been playing since 2007 so I hope someone here can help me.

Do you have mods installed? That could be the reason. They're not allowed on pure servers.

About mic_meter_live.vtf and mic_meter_dead.vtf, it looks like it's some kind of error in VTF creating process that hasn't been fixed. I found these 2 files, exctracted images from them and made new VTFs. Surprisingly, it worked. Here's the fix: [url]http://www.mediafire.com/download/3v8khp1iwxhl6a7/Micro+VTF+fix.vpk[/url]

Why would millions of soldiers and demos sleep peacefully

I reflect their shots just fine with the stock flamethrower

[Trekintosh]

Reserve shooter is fine on soldier's loadouts since it takes a little bit of skill to juggle someone high enough to nail someone with your only slightly buffed switch times. It's not bad even with the stock flamethrower. Still slow enough that it's not guaranteed. With the degreaser it's basically guaranteed. If you could hit someone normally then you could get nearly free mini crits.

What if they heavily nerfed air blasts on the degreaser somehow?

Perhaps something like:
-45% decreased airblast verticle push force

[ODSP]

[QUOTE=kibbleknight;47212504]Perhaps something like:

Wouldn't that technically make it easier to combo people since your not airblasting them away from you?

-snip wrong thread-

[Trekintosh]

[QUOTE=ODSP;47212540]Wouldn't that technically make it easier to combo people since your not airblasting them away from you?[/QUOTE]

It means they wouldn't go up as high so you have less time to hit them. It still doesn't answer the flare gun combo but at least it nerfs the RS.

It's also good for fighting scouts that seem to avoid all your rockets by jumping everywhere, since reserve shooter just minicrits people in the air, not necessarily people you juggled into the air.

It's also really great for killing soldiers that though they could market garden you [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/funny2.png[/IMG]

Pyro crits them when they're rocket jumping.

[QUOTE=LittleBabyman;47211684]reserve shooter doesn't need a nerf, it needs to be removed from pyro entirely

axtinguisher needs to be brought back to always-crits[/QUOTE]

it's too late to undo the reserve shooter for the pyro, what they should do is make a split, just like the old Equalizer, one for pyro, and the other for soldier, so they can be balanced for both classes.

[Hell-met]

or they could just make it minicrit on explosive airborne like DH

"but pyro cant-!"

reflects, soldiers rocketjumping at you and you still get a nice mini faster switch
