I'm curious if the demand for the Wiki Cap has gone down somewhat now that the Team Captain is out. I think that's one of the reasons so many people were after it, it looked the closest to an M. Bison hat.

People at GG servers don't know what touching the cart is.
:p

Where there actual GG members on the server? OR random pubbers?

Next time that happens, let me know and I'll totally enter and yell and abuse the 'shit' out of em!

Hell, if I knew. We were playing Badwater, we had the cart on the final point and I think only me and another guy tried to get the cart to the point.

They ALWAYS let the engineers get their sentries to lvl 3, even though I destroyed both of them.

They'll have the GG tag on.

Still, I can't make excuses for all our members, they can be a bunch of bastards.

So I was messing around in itemtest just for shits and giggles. Eventually it led me to slaughtering the bots and a startling scientific revelation: The demo's weapons are extremely confusing!

Basically, I set the damage scale to some absurd number (1 million, I think) and was just killing the bots with random weapons. Eventually I ended up killing them with the Heavy's taunt kill which did its normal damage. Tried with some other classes' taunt kills and it was the same.

So then i went back to killing the bots and eventually got to demo. That's when things got weird. Hitting with the grenade on a direct hit would deal normal damage (instead of the proper, boosted damage) 90% of the time, but the splash damage would deal the boosted damage 100% of the time. No matter what I tried I couldn't figure out what made direct hits deal full damage some of the time and normal damage the majority of the time.

They I switched to the sticky launcher and it has a similar feature. Splash damage always seems to take the modifier into account, but if the sticky is beneath a target's feet it always does it's normal damage.

I tried going the other way, dropping the damage multiplier down to 0.001 and it was the same thing. With grenades, a direct hit did full, normal damage, but splash damage did 0. Stickies underfoot dealt full damage, splash damage from stickies dealt 0.

No other class weapons that I tried (itemtest only lets you use vanilla weapons) had any similar effect save for pyro. Afterburn seems to deal the same damage no matter what the damage modifier is.

I don't know if it has an implications for the normal game (probably not), but I thought it was weird.

How do I get the Backburner? Also I'm starting to think part of my problem with me playing Scout (and well, any class) is my ping. I was playing today and enemies were basically teleporting at random moments.

I'm working on a misc. item to submit to valve... A metal jaw for the heavy. This is the very first 3D modeling experience I've really had so far. How do you think it is looking? Does it fit the overall style of TF2? Still need to finish the model and do texture-work of course...

Problem with Heavy misc items is there are some HUGE Heavy hats like the pugilist's protector which are gonna cause major clipping.

It's one of the Pyro achievement weapons, plus it can drop randomly through regular gameplay.

Looks good.

If you're really having trouble making it fit with hats, why not just submit it as a hat? I dunno.

Do you know which one?

Takes 16 achievements. I found a lot of them to be fairly easy with time, but then again I've played enough to get Pyromancer (1 million burn damage). So, biased.

Thanks... well, the heavy doesn't have a misc yet! A lot of misc/hats on other classes have clipping issues anyways. I dunno...

That's really great actually! The heavy could definitely use more items like that.

Its a milestone thing, you need 16.
Whats your Steam name though? I can outfit you with a handful of weapons, just to give you a taste for some of the different options.

Con_Brio1993

I would appreciate the weapons. :)

I could offer a paltry sum if you at least wanted something out of the exchange (alternatively I could send you a picture of my smiling face.)

Lookin' good, Dach. Wish I could teach myself to use a 3D modelling program. :(
Besides some ZBrush experience from over a year ago this is my first time modeling something and I'm having a super easy time following this guy's tutorial and looking online for a couple extra resources when needed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X5QGx2TP_8

It's a really good step-by-step video tutorial for beginners that is up to date with the most recent version of Blender(free modeling program). All the resources you need are in the video info along with links to part 2 and 3. I'm about 20 minutes into the first video and I've already made most of my model and I've made it within a few hours of work. I highly recommend looking into that tutorial if you're even slightly interested in learning how to model TF2 hats as it is completely geared in that one direction.

I made a CounterStrike map when I was in highschool. Whenever you looked at a tree in it, you'd go down to like 5 FPS. I sucked at making trees.

Some dumb stacks tonight. At least we were winning until wartime went demo and half our good team changed to support classes.
 
You guys wouldn't have made it to the second point in dustbowl 3 without my spying work.


*smug*


I'm still wondering how the hell does Wartime shoots those stickies from far away that fast.

Yeah, I wouldn't really be worried about clipping issues, to be honest. As you say, it's already a problem with plenty of combos, and if it really bothers someone enough, they can just not use it.

Lol awesome.. I also love the horned skull+villains veil/w trained killer style on Sniper. Looks like a whole skull-face.

Yeah good point. That probably isn't a deciding factor as much as some other things.

I can't believe no one else changed to heavy on dustbowl 2.
I mean I literally ran down, shot one sentry with an engie behind it, then turned around and edged out the other sentry with an engy.
Then we won.

SO EASY

It's true, though. Pyro takes no skill.
It takes no skill to light people on fire, but getting kills is in the ballpark of spy since it relies so much on pathing. That's probably why you bump into them more
and are lonely and bitter about it
; they're running the same routes you are.

What is that kritzkast hat?

It's a sign that you followed some rules that you only learned about after it was too late to follow them, and then memorized or looked up the answers to a few trivia questions about random things they said during hundreds of hours of them talking about TF2.

Pyros are also incredibly easy to avoid and kill because they're so newbie friendly. :3

They can airblast spies away from kills. If they aren't airblasting, they're playing the wrong class. Pyros can't go to bat offensively anymore. Those days are long over.
 
Twig said:

Why are you talking about Heavy when the current subject is Pyro?
I kid... you dont even need to W with Heavy.

Also Spy shenanigans are fun.

I gave up Pyro for the most part. Not fun for me since I suck so bad at airblast. Engineer is my new thing. I fucking love it, except when a Spy saps my goddamn shit.

Also I started playing again at like 1, and thought I'd only play an hour or two. Now it is 4:30am. Fuck me.

Edit: I got rid of my Cloak and Dagger (well I turned it into scrap metal), and apparently it is only obtainable once. Did I fuck myself over?

Anyone will trade you a spare for a weapon.

Not true. Every weapon (that wasn't a promo) can drop, so you can get tons of them you don't want like I do.

CnD sucks IMHO.

Better off learning to play with default watch. Dead Ringer is fun at times, but I still recommend/prefer default :p
This. CnD doesn't let you move much and you waste more time waiting it to recharge than collecting metal/ammo. Use it only on maps without much ammo packs like 2fort (why would you play that?).
