Powerjack pyros are a blessing because you can disguise as them with their melee out and itll look natural
Not sure I've ever used the "Need a [building] here!" commands without being an Engineer about to build that building there.
Except for the fact that you don't get the speed boost they normally get.
It's a little weird to me how speedboost items don't let the Spy mimic them. Powerjack, Escape Plan, Gloves of Running Urgently, and Eviction Notice. The passive heal modifications from the Amputator/Blutsauger don't manifest as a faked passive heal in the first place, let alone with modifications. How backstabbing someone with YER doesn't instantly have the disguise with the same weapon as the victim active. How "sheathing" the Half-Zatoichi doesn't deal a fake 50 damage to the disguise. Switch speeds from Degreaser and Thermal Thruster basically don't exist. It's little things like this that make disguises less believable even if in a passing glance. It's bad enough that people are paranoid already, to have blatantly obvious cues doesn't do spy any good.
I've found that walking around as a Pyro with the thermal thruster drawn is surprisingly subtle. It's expected that you're not able to quickly swap to a real weapon and it's impossible for Pyros to spycheck with it anyway. So it's perfect for wandering around basically anywhere since Pyro winds up in weird locations with the thing.

So here is my HD 1080p texture for the Dragon's Fury.
I'm posting it here as it's a bug fix for a really bad texture, tell me if there is any glaring issues. Expect a proper SFM workshop release down the line.
Saxxy Winners
Source Filmmaker
Legacy turned out to winning over pointless,interesting
I know that there were people that felt snubbed for not even getting a nomination, but this year seems to be the best in terms of talent. Like, holy crap, there were at least 40 entries I want to see win.
http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=38224 new forum, new "lads" post
I'm fine with MTJ getting an honorable; we were pretty damn close, though.
Agent Gunn was the only choice.
It's sad that Agent Gunn didn't win, but I'm glad that Leak did win nonetheless.
Agent Gunn won best overall.
Oh I didn't notice until now. Apologies.
Agent Gunn had amazing animation, so many unique props and models and clearly too much love put into it that there was no way it woudln't win Best Overall. In all honesty that did make the Saxxies not as exciting as the previous years (if you can call Saxxy award winner reveals somehow exciting), since the winner was basically already there and only had to endure a long wait to claim the main prize.
Still, congratulations to the creators. They deserve the trip.
Oh hey the new forums are actually pretty nice.
Turns out there is a medal cap which is at roughly 1000, it was met with the titanium tank tour thingie and it's confirmed that it'll be extended in the next update
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/potatomvmservers#announcements/detail/1667893770973783820
Given they confirmed it and the event ends very soon, chances are we'll have a patch soon
maybe
Soon:
I know when it is but I'm can't tell anyone (Valve rules). It's not far away though.
To think that Agent Gunn was produced in a shorter timeframe that expiration date and yet achieve a better result overall.
Thats an unfair comparison given Agent gunn is 5 minutes and Expiration Date 15.
given the circumstances, if we give the team behind Agent Gunn the time and resources the TF2 team had to develop Expiration date, we might had the animated show that expiration date was meant to be.
We got rid of the deadline, actually. We had some TF2 youtuber promote Titanium Tank on his youtube channel and that caused such a massive surge of people that they had no chance of beating the tour before April 1st. Our current idea is to wait and see when the masses begin to die down and then start thinking of a decent deadline.
There's probably a lot of effort that goes into a recurring series than there is for just a oneshot.
Having to maintain internal consistency, wrangling the VAs, keeping character interactions fresh, etc.
Aside from the crazy amount of effort that clearly went into Agent Gunn between storyboarding, animation, models, etc., I feel one of it's strongest points was not relying on the same old TF crew for the premade characterizations.
I'm just glad that Skud didn't die.
Sorry there was some confusion over where it's from, it's a comment from Hydrogen one of the people who runs the Potato MVM server group and was answering questions about getting out more metals in the group discussion. If you follow Fluury's link to the group that I quoted you can see the comment.
if valve doesn't offer any of the agent gunn guys a job I'd be legitimately surprised
I pray to gaben this gets added. I just really want the dragon's fury to feel powerful, and the current model just feels so plastic-y. I wish the handle wrapped around tho, but i suppose thats a modeling thing and not so much a texturing thing
I hope they make it so the Dragon's Fury doesn't shoot when next to a surface like flamethrowers.
