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

how about you stop asking questions like some autistic mongloid and actually listen (read)

They should add a new tip for Pyro in the class selection screen "afterburn length increases with fire damage" and loading screen tips for the new weapons. (also got a snazzy avatar background)

or we could revert it and keep things consistent lol

So, we finished the Cup. The last round was painful.

I dunno, I actually thought the afterburn duration being effected by how many hits you get to be one of the better aspects of the update honestly. Just wish it was consistant from all fire sources is all.

I wonder what Pyro main EricS thinks of the Pyro changes

Only other lingering problem I have with the afterburn change is that there's no real way to know how much afterburn you're going to take since graphically every single possible permutation looks identical to one another. GG2 gets away with such a feature by attaching cosmetic flames to character objects using opacity and number of these flames to show how intensely the damage over time is and for how long it will last for. Then a bunch of other silly math is involved so proximity influences intensity and the afterburn naturally dampens itself rather than being at full blast the whole time. Flame class object handling collision with character class object: https://i.imgur.com/r9QPb5M.png Character class object handling afterburn per frame: https://i.imgur.com/iE7pyy5.png I know source handles flames differently but good god use color coordination or something to give feedback to players. Not just for those who are burning but to those who have the tools to extinguish the flames (and even to the Pyro's teammates so they know roughly how much damage they're taking to decide if it's worth adding damage or let them burn out)

I expected 9/11.

He's probably the person on the team who came up with the Pyro changes.

Can b4nny just contact the TF team and say "the flames are broken please fix" I think they might not have class mains on the team pick changes to try to stay objective (though maybe not, maybe the sniper main on the team is the one stopping sniper changes)

They probably already know at this point... Backlash wasn't really subtle...

Because you think getting kills isn't one of the main points of TF2.

Why did you reply to him.

to be fair there isn't much going on in this thread. better than nothing i suppose

Reinstall TF2 and they'll all be as good as you! Easy matchmaking fix.

I mean asic said getting kills wasn't the main point of the overrall game, not that it isn't the point of combat, and only focusing on DM instead of objectives isn't the best strategy. Pedantry I know but asic's right in this case. (fuck random crits though)

how do you get access to objectives? by killing enemies unless you're like those terrible players that tunnel vision into certain death and ignore all as scout/spy

Nope complete opposite, I just do the objective unless it's ctf, I never focus other players.

It really isn't. I'd rather the thread not have any updates over ASIC vs. the World about Random Crits for the 17th time.

I wonder if they hired Jill knowing they'd work on TF2 and not something else, must have been confusing having their new hire work on an unpopular (internally) project if they didn't know

They never actually hired Jill.

Can you kick over the potted plant to gain employment by right of challenge? Asking for a friend.

What?

VALVe's already considered this, and in response they bolted it to the floor.

Jill as a name or even idea of being a tf2 dev has transcended our mortal space, Jill is an identity now, we can all be Jill, the Jill we are always refering to it merely said idea Jill was never hired because Jill is already a part of valve, of facepunch, of you

Wouldn't kicking it over be considered attempted murder?

What if Jill is the game taken sentience, we get updates because it's trying to improve itself to become the ultimate life form

This is what happens when you spam the yeti taunts on a moving platform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mGB8z3qS1M

People have been doing this in front of payload carts since the update dropped.
