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

God I hate the Vacc. As soon as I see someone using it, my first thought it literally just "Fun's over".

Not very important, but it would be nice if every medigun's healing beam was slightly different, like how all non stock medigun beams have bits of Jarate in them.

Only good thing about the vac is its ability to piss off hackers.

[QUOTE=TheBorealis;53138076]I was looking in the cfg directory to see if huds and hit/killsounds were exempt in the pure list (seems they're coded directly in game to be exempt) and I saw a strange "pet.txt in the directory, seems to be something related to dev tool window size, [URL="https://pastebin.com/V4s1Wy80"]pastebin link[/URL].[/QUOTE] "Pet" refers to the in-game Particle Editor (probably shorthand for "Particle Editor Tool" I guess).

I don't know if this is possible, but they could give the flame thrower damage ramp-up as long as it's facing in one direction, and moving it in another direction could change it. This way Pyro could still run at and ambush people out of position but couldn't just flail. I guess?

Just make it so a lot more particles are required to hit in order to deal full damage. That way pyro is still powerful, but if you're better at dodging than the pyro is at aiming you can out-maneuver him.

[QUOTE=Rajikaru;53139403]You [B]really[/B] don't need to post it. It's one of the most common loadouts people use for Heavy. Post it in the loadout thread if you have to and leave it be.[/QUOTE] I did not know that, I hadn't seen it before.

So it looks like the tf2 player count is starting to creep back up again. Just a day or two ago, the 24 hour peak was at 33,000 players with the average amount of players ranging being 20,000s. Today the average is back to the high 30,000s with the 24 hour peak at 48,000 players. My proof comes from steam charts btw

Its pretty impressive that roughly 20% of the playerbase was bots imo.

[QUOTE=Kiwi;53140293]I'm no actually surprised. Happens a lot in F2P MMOs...[/QUOTE] I'd argue 40% of old school Runescape's playerbase are bots. Nobody even plays 3 anymore heh.

I hope TF2 gets CSGO's tournament managing and broadcasting tools. Also maybe we could get a "Jungle Inferno encore" with fixes to flame hit detection, rebalances to Pyro weapons, and the Pain Train on Pyro. Could be good along with the usual spring cosmetics case to end the usual spring dry spell.

I've noticed playing Medic and Spy that occasionally the player health totals of both teammates and enemies won't display correct. Has anyone else experienced this?

Happens most after a lag spike for me.

This is random but does buying the 200 dollar version of joule matter to get the boiling point taunt or can i just get the 180 dollar one. Also do they still give out the promo?

Hey quick question why does TF2 have a fucking crossover with a fucking bluetooth kitchen utensil that otherwise has no links to videogames?

Undocumented change I guess but after the last patch I can finally change styles on items on the inventory.

It should still give out the promo, the [url=https://www.chefsteps.com/tf2]promo site[/url] is still active.

[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;53140220]Sure that's not just because it's saturday?[/QUOTE] Possibly. But the numbers seem to have been steadily increasing since the 11th

[QUOTE=Rajikaru;53140482]Hey quick question why does TF2 have a fucking crossover with a fucking bluetooth kitchen utensil that otherwise has no links to videogames?[/QUOTE] gabe is friends with one of the guys behind the joule apparently

I have to hand it to the titanium tank guys. They somehow managed to make community mvm servers full capacity almost 24/7 and weren't dumb infinite money 10 player servers

Even setting aside the fact that it was originally intended as one by the creator, even the stats Valve designed for it just seem like they would make more sense on Pyro than on Soldier or Demo. In unrelated news, I just played against some sort of living, breathing human stereotype 1. Female medic main 2. Has soldier main boyfriend 3. All pink loadout including Blighted Beak and Hearts unusual 4. Only 1000 hours in-game, yet is a member of a Steel 6s team. Brags about being a comp player because of this. 5. Username is twitch url

New lazy purple video [video=youtube;dnBqjTmlLg8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnBqjTmlLg8[/video]

Late but really happy Lazy Purple is back from the dead. One of the better TF2 Youtubers that doesnt make me wince.

[QUOTE=DrCactus;53140579]I have to hand it to the titanium tank guys.

[QUOTE=Metaru;53140484]Undocumented change I guess but after the last patch I can finally change styles on items on the inventory.[/QUOTE] I could before this patch, but essentially at random times. It was the problem with that overlay.

Also, they seemingly re-used the "CHECKED OUT THE BLOG?" news post and reposted it on the 15th Feb, 2018.
