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

Why was the TF2 Classic thread closed?

[QUOTE=Kiwi;53109955]12 Days ago postal closed Wackoweasel's thread called Team Fortress 2 Classic V4 in Valve Games Discussion with the reason “requested” [editline]6th February 2018[/editline] Best answer I can give you.[/QUOTE] Yeah, was just curious if TF2C development stopped or something.

[QUOTE=TheBorealis;53109957]Yeah, was just curious if TF2C development stopped or something.[/QUOTE] You could go ask on their Discord or something if you're curious

I wouldn't be surprised if it was, TF2C has been dead in the water for quite some time

What I want is a flamethrower sentry, short ranged but still more useful than a pyro and shouldn't be hard to code.

The thread was closed soon after that spammer had the hoax TF2C update. Maybe it's related?

[QUOTE=Minigun;53110177]shouldn't be hard to code.[/QUOTE] Video games are a lot more complicated than they seem from a casual standpoint, especially one as janky as TF2. Also I'm not really sure about handing out fire damage to non-pyro classes personally, especially for something that isn't really filling any niche.

[QUOTE=Minigun;53110177]What I want is a flamethrower sentry, short ranged but still more useful than a pyro and shouldn't be hard to code.[/QUOTE] Sincerely curious about why you would want this. Doesn't a regular sentry pretty much delete any enemy that's in flamethrower range already? What would a flame-sentry bring to the table?

[QUOTE=Minigun;53110177]What I want is a flamethrower sentry, short ranged but still more useful than a pyro and shouldn't be hard to code.[/QUOTE] I think someone has been playing some Paladins.

In another news, Icefrog says that Dota2 team is taking different approach on updates, every second thursday a small patch for the next 6 months and then they re-evaluate. I just hope TF2 team would do the same, because in the past lots of smaller updates especially in early years of Valve games have been a lot more productive and fun than waiting for the next big DLC or update.

Idea, make the ConTracker an MvM canteen, the screen will show what boost you have.

Does anyone here know what happened to Red Robot? He was a fun TF Youtuber, until he suddenly stopped making content during the summer. No trace of him in Reddit and Twitter for 5 months.

[QUOTE=hahagoni_r;53110364][media]https://twitter.com/ThatRedRobot/status/960588327651979264[/media][/QUOTE] now that's service

I just remembered MYM added a [URL="https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/3/3e/Cm_sniper_pregamefirst_rare_01.mp3"]line[/URL] for the Sniper where he says he uses "hand-load precision rounds effective to a thousand yards". Maybe Sniper damage could slowly decrease with distance like the Ambassador until reaching zero at 48,000 hammer units? (I know this is a huge distance but I thought it could be a neat little lore touch)

Can everyone here send the TF2 Devs an Email on how they want Random Crits Removed? [URL="http://www.valvesoftware.com/email.php?recipient=TF+Team"]Here's a link to their E-Mail[/URL]. If enough people do it, They might be removed.

My inner fanboy is raving! Coherency? Reclaim it? Oh, okay. Whew, um.. I hope he gets his things in life back on track. Both a good content creator and a mapper deserve exactly that!

[T]https://i.imgur.com/i67guWC.png[/T] great, the wiki is now hosted on google, so I can't access it

[QUOTE=LegendaryR'QA;53110435]It's because of A-holes like you that their still in the game...[/QUOTE] I think it was a joke, lad. Hence the "this e-mail will never get sent" line.

Sending so much won't help them at all since it's clear random crits are here to stay whether or not we like it.

I was looking at the Administrator lines on the wiki and there's unused payload race [URL="https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Administrator_responses#Payload_Race_Mode_responses"]ones[/URL]. They mention an unused mechanic where on multi stage maps, the winner of the previous stage would get a head start.

[QUOTE=Drury;53110467]That's an actual mechanic on Pipeline, it's just the lines that are unused.[/QUOTE] I just checked and you're right, the unused lines have it a bit different, the loser's cart would have been locked for up to two minutes, which sounds pretty bad so I'm glad that's scrapped.

Is it only me or eating Sandvich while youre set on fire doesnt extinguish you since JI? Not really a problem since you heal enough to ignore the afterburn and by the time youre done eating the afterburn is already gone, but it still annoys me that im not at 300 health when im done eating :pudge:

Maybe back when you could mow it with your feet.

Sandvich heals 400 hp during the taunt, it's just that the excess health of that healing goes to waste unless you're actively being damaged.

We have gone roughly a month now without any updates; makes me think they are cooking something up for the end of Jungle Inferno as often speculated. Then again thats what was also thought while we were waiting for JI. :v:
