nvm.
It's a problem many have. Apparently (at least in the initial version of the event map, don't know if changed) the ghost that pops up is a super high definition model that's always present on the map, just underneath the ground when not in view. So people could just walk around and suddenly get a drop because the ghost is right under them.barnone said:

Pyro is tougher to play (effectively) then many people give it credit for. Sure you can light people on fire, but to really make a difference you've got to spy check all the time and use the airblast to put people out and block ubers. I'd say it's more of an intermediate class.
Those players aren't playing very effectively. They should be falling back to the medic to get healed instead of rushing into a slaughter. That helps the uber charge faster and give the enemies more targets to avoid. The only thing more aggravating for me as a medic than spy backstabs are people bitching that they don't get healed while they keep dying because they stay in the line of fire. When there's other people who are injured it might take some time to get to you.

They need to somehow stop rocket jumping with the Wrangler. Gravelpit with sentry farms and Frontier Justice wielding engies in the hallways outside the spawn = not fun.
Though getting revenge on the fuckers with the soldier's suicide taunt as they rushed inside made it worth it.

And I think the rev-up got its time reduced.
They're basically just scouts complaining because there's a way to hit them. :lol Even with Natascha I have an awful time hitting crazylegs jumping scouts sometimes.firex said:
But yeah, if Boonoo is slaughtering my team with scout, I sometimes go Natascha. Even if we don't win, it's a reasonable way to irritate him. It's also a nice way to occasionally catch medics who think they can run away in time.
Basically, some people like scouts or other classes and want heavies nerfed. Other people like heavy and want it not nerfed. It's a circle of liiiiiiife!

The thing about Natascha Heavies is that despite the wider spread of the miniguns (even though I know they tightened it a bit recently), some Heavies can hit you with practically every bullet out of their gun, and the slowdown effect isn't as restricted as the FAN's bullets. It completely kills any attempt to escape, especially if their ping lets them get a few extra shots when you're already around the corner.
I was going to say you could do this before with a dispenser jump, but now I guess you could just have one engineer build a teleporter, and five more carry their sentries through the tele.

Haaha, nice man.
Those were some fun games last night guys. Last second caps on Cashworks and Thundermountain.
I don't know if we're just the most awesome server ever, but I feel like I rarely see lots of engineers on a team anymore, especially on offense. Occasionally I'll see five on defense, but typically a couple will be gunslinger or something, and overall it doesn't seem to unbalance things. It seems we'll regularly only have one or two engineers struggling even with teleporters.
If a server gets five really GOOD engineers with level 3 sentries, then sure, things might be unbalanced in some places. I've only even seen one sentry spot that everyone seemed to have trouble with, and that was Lemmy sentry-rocket jumping onto the roof overlooking the second Cashworks point (and of course that's a community map anyway).

Which roof is that?Blizzard said:
I've never seen a wrangler jumping sentry point that is worth anything, and the time it takes to set it up means if the other team is any good at all they should get the first point that much quicker and then just have more time to deal with the "special" engineer spot.
n0b said:
If it's the spot where I saw Lem building before it's at the top of the building at the top of the hill after the first CP, before the track turns to the right to go downhill. Kind of a pointless spot considering the building to the right provides more cover and ammo on the roof is nonexistant. Not to mention that any sentries or buildings there are rocket launcher fodder without risk to the soldier.
We heard n0b's real voice last night.
OUnless it was a soundboard of crazy n0b sounds.

Exactly. There's not enough time to get anything useful built before the enemies start streaming out.
Most of the crazy engineer spots I see are only good for a couple of surprise kills. Certainly not worth the hassle at the expense of helping out the team with a more useful spot.

Yup! It'll be a good season. Sandman and Natascha are both a pain in the ass to play against, and Wrangler as it is could make final points a real drag (2 wrangler engies would be hard to move against with just 6). Probably the more overarching reason is that these three items slow down the pace of the game more than anything else.
The map list looks fun, too.
Preseason 1 - koth_ashville
Preseason 2 - cp_coldfront
Week 1 - cp_well
Week 2 - koth_viaduct
Week 3 - cp_prolane
Week 4 - cp_gullywash
Week 5 - cp_gravelpit
Week 6 - cp_granary
Week 7 - cp_badlands
Week 8 - cp_freight

Hmm...thank god Natascha is banned...
So a 6-12 person team would most likely be best. Well, more then 10 would most likely be to many.Boonoo said:
We could see how many people would want to participate, and split it into 2 teams if there is enough demand, or just group everyone into a single team. While I would most likely be a very bad choice to be one of the main people, I wouldn't mind floating.
