TF2 General Chat and Speculation Station V6 - Year of the Guard Dog SURVEY IN OP - Games

i hope i get to see the day where if im bored i can make pretty good quality model and textures in a jiffy. im jelly....

Update on my queue since I know they're getting better for some people: I got three matches on March 29th over 5 hours of queuing. As of now, it's been a total of 17 hours of queuing mixing solo, duo, trio, and full party queuing with zero new matches since the 29th.

Holy shit. Short Circuit near 2fort spawn is one of the most things I've ever done in this game. Killed a heavy-medic combo single handedly with the short circuit

Scorch Shot might be easier than the Detonator, but I want to point out that that doesn’t make it a crutch. It works great for everyone, even if you are relatively skilled at the game, due to how versatile it is. It’s genuinely the better option a lot of the time, even if only for the quick to use knockback stalling ability (which does require direct hits to make use of). I recognize that it’s rather annoying, and frankly I’m surprised they haven’t changed it in the previous update or Jungle Inferno. I brought it up because it overall seems a little too useful too often, and it might very well be imbalanced as a result. It seems that a lot of people aren’t using it just because they’d feel shame in doing so, or because there might be more fun alternatives.

Just saw Strange Fire Glazed MW Amputator in game. Like why. Why would anyone get a potentialy 150 key worth war paint and be like "Oh hey, let's apply it to the amputator"

Probably because war paints are very visible on it. It's basically a plain canvas.

bad players thought v1 was "useless" so smartypants valve decided to give it mini-crits and more push bad players ruin all weapons

Any easy way to complete defend contracts on ctf?

Stickies under the briefcase.

Votekick all the engies in your team so that the enemies can pick the briefcase

Wait for somebody to bring the intel out of the intel room, drop stickies under the briefcase, sit back and watch as scouts one by one suicide to your stickies and you easily rack up all the points.

There is untended behavior for the Short Circuit where it doesn't delete recently fired projectiles https://twitter.com/danekevincook/status/979871726271045632 https://twitter.com/danekevincook/status/979879638397669376 "I don't believe that was intentional" Possible evidence for the theory that Valve devs don't communicate even with each other.

The highest weapon concentration of high level stranges that I've seen has been the Original. Any idea why? Is it just like a cheap strange stock alternative or something?

stock RL is often considered the best, and original has high value for being comical, unique, center rockets or just nostalgic. it's also on the class that has the easiest access to kills

Someone made a big collection of unused skin/war paint textures Highlights: Unused blue variant of the lighning in Powerhouse collection skins Unused blue versions of Black Dahlia and Brick House The stripes on Masked Mender were based on a separate texture based on dazzle camoflague Unused TF logo engraving texture Green and yellow versions of the flannel texture on several skins Unused pink version of Anodized Aloha Unused Jungle Inferno skin sticker for "Yeti Gun Oil" Four unused argyle textures for the Gentlemanne's collection, and an unused checker one Unused candy corn texture for a Harvest collection skin And Jungle Inferno/Winter 2017 paints' randomized blood splatters include yeti claw marks at the battle scarred level, don't know if it was intended for non JI paints

What happens in that thread stays in that thread. Like Vegas.

ASIC surprisingly hasn't even set foot in that discussion yet.

Original > RL. Been using RL for YEARS, started using Original last year, never went back to RL.

I wonder if they are going to nerf original, because it's kinda obvious now that it outperforms stock despite being just a reskin

sided rockets have as much benefit as center rockets have

What are the benefits of sided rockets except of being able to cornerspam on mirrored maps?

If Jill didn't personally code the new SC projectile it's very possible he doesn't know if it was a bug or not.

What are the benefits of Original rockets except for coming out of the middle of the player's view? It's not a tangible upside/downside system. It's purely preference.

what makes you think jill directly codes shit for tf2

him quite literally complaining about XCode, him answering several code-related things in the past? You don't have to look far

True, but he could just ask the guy who did if they were in the office. I think it was acutally added in the comp rework update, engie blueprint wireframes load a lot faster now.

With Valve suddenly fixing decade-old bugs, I wonder if they'll finally get around to removing the exploit for the Air Strike and Market Gardener that involves bunny hopping.

Never heard of the Air Strike bug, do you fire at the faster rate? I guess it's the same issue as the market gardner bug, rocket jump only things are active when bhopping after a rocket jump. The Air Strike bug should be fixed but I never had an issue with the bhop market gardener trick, or really seen it in a real game.

so what if you didn't see it? how does that make it any less of a problem?
