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

Is it still a problem? They fixed a lot of the "viewmodels obscuring vision" problems when they did an update of them, specifically with the Revolver and the new minimal viewmodel option.

[QUOTE=Rajikaru;53142188]Is it still a problem? They fixed a lot of the "viewmodels obscuring vision" problems when they did an update of them, specifically with the Revolver and the new minimal viewmodel option.[/QUOTE] I like the viewmodels a little lower since it fits how the classes hold the weapons in third person, as well as more viewing space.

[QUOTE=Blackavar;53141718]Also, between maps, the game should put everyone on a random team, so that the team that steamrolled last game may or may not steamroll again. It's annoying getting rolled, staying in the same server, and getting rolled again because nothing actually changes between map switches.[/QUOTE] Honestly it's baffling that the TF2 team doesn't have the GQ re-balance teams when the map changes/reloads. If they can't get this working than honestly they just need to get rid of the map vote and have everyone go back to the queue after a map ends because nearly every match that takes place on the same server after a match ends starts with a horribly one sided match because the team that did worst had more people leave and the matchmaker just isn't usually fast enough to fill those missing slots.

just had a spy main accuse me of being a bot because I immediately shot at a friendly demoman I spotted taking the back line and beelining for a pair of distracted snipers no matter how long I play this game, I will never understand the spy player mindset of "it's impossible that I could've made a mistake and drawn suspicion on myself, the other guy must be cheating"

Goes both ways.

[QUOTE=Drury;53142238]Then you have people who don't understand trickstabs and spychecking reacting the same way when they get stabbed.

Every time the netcode lets me watch a spy do their backstab animation on me I add a little more salt to the pile.

There was a system message for the Ready Up documentary, maybe Jill was in the office on a Sunday for whatever reason doing some coding?

Good news! NECA will be releasing the BLU Engineer and Spy figures along with the RED versions of the Medic, Scout, and Sniper. I know many of you don't care much for the line, but as a collector it makes me happy. [t]http://news.toyark.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2018/02/Toy-Fair-2018-NECA-Video-Game-010.jpg[/t]

I don't have any experience modding TF2 but I had the idea of a custom gamemode where it's a free for all arena mode where every round is a random class with a random loadout (everybody has the same class and weapons). I guess it's jumping on the whole battle royale trend but it'd be kind of a fun alternative deathmatch mode.

In Woolen's new [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=um3AgM03pG4"]video[/URL] he suggests that the Wranga Prick and Your Eternal Reward are separated into 2 separate weapons, one with the old stats and one with the current stats. What does everyone think? Seems like a good idea to me.

[QUOTE=Hell-met;53142574]well okay but the new yer is a straight upgrade to the old? oh nvm the drain[/QUOTE] The L'Etranger's +40% cloak means using them together means you have silent kills and 7% more cloak, maybe it could be bumped down to 20% more cloak drain? Also I would like the Kunai's max health steal increased a bit to around 220 or 230.

I miss the silent killer attribute. I loved backstabbing folks and not hearing a scream from them. They don't have to readd the full silent killer attribute with no information in the killfeed; I just don't want death screams from ice sculptures that's all.

Theres so much good unused stuff like music for the contracker or MvM upgrade station that i wish was in the actual game.

[QUOTE=Yukinari;53142674]Theres so much good unused stuff like music for the contracker or MvM upgrade station that i wish was in the actual game.[/QUOTE] They probably scrapped the music because they thought players would get annoyed hearing it every time you opened the contracker or accessed the upgrade station. (Maybe the next contracker model (if they do have new ones each campaign) could have a music button to listen to the tracks while you play) edit: added parenthesis after campaign

[QUOTE=DrCactus;53142636]get rid of the cloak drain rate. Having to spend cloak to disguise is already a good enough downside imo.[/QUOTE] That would make it almost a straight upgrade from stock.

[QUOTE=DrCactus;53142636]get rid of the cloak drain rate. Having to spend cloak to disguise is already a good enough downside imo.[/QUOTE] New YER is actually pretty solid with the Cloak and Dagger since if you're wary of your cloak drain you can reasonably get a disguise without having to ever actually uncloak provided you have found yourself a vantage point to wait at. The faster cloak drain makes it kind of awful for Invis Watch though, you can hardly get yourself into position without using L'Etranger but it is kind of a necessary downside as otherwise it'd be strictly better than the stock knife aside from the disguise cost to cloak, which is pretty easy to circumvent by grabbing ammo.

I'm watching Ready Up and I'm enjoying it. They're really (deservingly) shitting all over Valve's comp support, aside from B4nny who you can tell is trying to walk the line and not say anything too negative due to his relationship with the TF2 team. Clearly the TF team didn't see it before it came out because I don't think they would have promoted a solid 15-20 minutes of shitting on the TF team/Valve to the entire community. A response from Valve would be nice but I'm sure we'll get silence.

[QUOTE=EmilyVasquez;53142801]That's strange. I don't have my medal.[/QUOTE] Got mine just now. Maybe theyre rolled out depending on order of people?

[QUOTE=Yukinari;53142841]Got mine just now. Maybe theyre rolled out depending on order of people?[/QUOTE] A little before he said the other thing I posted, Hydrogen said that everybody would get all their medals at once, as soon as the distribution server for them went up. So that's probably not a thing either. [t]http://puu.sh/zqYDy/1ac901a4e8.png[/t]
