Can't disagree with this, your completely right. Though Direct Hit does provide a different playstyle, everything else has been made irrelevant by the Black Box for Soldiers. And the Scottish Resistance is pretty much perfectly balanced with the normal sticky gun (I prefer normal gun's shoot and forget kind of play anyways). Though shit like the Natascha should go.balladofwindfishes said:

the new minigun looks like when it'll get more widespread we'll see less Natashas being used. It can kill things at a huge range incredibly quickly, but you sacrifice a ton of mobility. It's exactly the sort of weapon I can see a pub player going nuts over. And honestly, it's not a bad weapon from what I've used. It takes some getting used to, but when you do, you tear stuff apart.enzo_gt said:
Yeah, but it's also the kind of weapon that will get inevitably nerfed. That +25% damage destroys you in any Heavy vs. Heavy battles. Everytime I confront a dude with it, even if I start firing first or I'm in an advantageous position, or have an advantageous amount of healing from a Medic, it destroys regular Minigun users most of the time.balladofwindfishes said:

Ever since the nerf, Natascha isn't even worth using anymore.
Ah, thanks, I didn't realize they had gotten rid of it.balladofwindfishes said:
And people are already wanting the new heavy gun nerfed? You people just want the poor heavy to suffer. Is it because you hate big people, or because you hate RUSSIANS? ;_; I need an easy-to-use overpowered class in order to enjoy TF2, and you all just want to take it away from me!
Use the minigun.Blizzard said:
I exclusively used Natascha since the Heavy update. And then my friend told me to use the normal minigun again. I did. Never went back to Natascha again. I get 2-3 more kills on average using Minigun instead of the Natascha (usually, 0 kills with Natascha vs. 2-3 kills with minigun).
I'm saying it should be nerfed or correctly balanced vs. the minigun and Natascha.
I used both guns before Natascha was nerfed. I'm just saying that Valve needs to give me an overpowered class so I can easily win (preferably while killing scouts).enzo_gt said:
By the way, I need to take some screenshots to prove it, but I'm convinced that the heavy bear claws take up more screen space than even the boxing gloves. I haven't tried to mess with variables to move the position down though.

You guys should try the new minigun for the heavy. Upon equipping it I immediately got covered kill notification area.
Really, the nerf was quiet small, all it did was make the slowdown have fall off. The spin up time shouldn't make to much difference.BloodySinner said:
I will be shocked if the Jag doesn't have a Nerf of any kind though. 30% faster building is quiet the gain for a very small trade off IMO.

Natascha has always been situational. I break her out rarely when I think I'm going to be doing choke-point crowd control and I'm going to be more about supporting the team then racking up kills. Although with slowdown fall-off that's not nearly as useful anymore.

I got the thumbs up from Valve to auction off the vintage companion cube pin for charity.
Anyone have any suggestions on the most effective way to do this?
I was thinking just an ebay auction for Child's Play. Also, does anyone know if this is the rarest item on TF2?

If you want some publicity and therefore higher bids then I would make a simple website that tracks the bidding and sell the event around to places like RPS, The Escapist, maybe Penny-Arcade for exposure...the non-giant outlets. This could actually turn into something big if you play your cards right.Dacvak said:

Oh, you have a blog? Even better then. I feel like I'm missing something about who you are....who are you?Dacvak said:
And you still should try to get it around, get other outlets to mention it. At worst they ignore you, at best free publicity.
I don't see an issue with posting it on Steam Forums too. And, at that, if outlets like Kotaku and Joystiq and the 'big ones' get a hold of it after say seeing it on Penny Arcade and stuff, you could get massive amounts of attention, and presumably someone who's willing to donate a lot for it. (or pay a lot for it)The_Technomancer said:

The Jag is buggy right nowDrkirby said:
Sometimes it builds faster, and sometimes it doesn't. Personally, when I used it, it didn't work on my Sentry, but build my Dispenser really fast. Other people report the opposite, while some say it doesn't work on anything for them.

The guy already had a bottle as a melee weapon, I don't think it's too wild to just think of it like a melee attack with a charge.The_Technomancer said:
I get what you're all saying, but at the same time, the same people that are complaining about weapons being too similar to the originals are the same people saying other weapons are too different. Let's make up our minds!
It's pretty obvious Valve sees TF2 as their WOW, and by next year, we'll see thousands of similar weapons as well as more wacky off-the-wall weapons, just like you would in WOW where there are millions of similar armor pieces and weapons and a few crazy ass awesome things.

Those are really easy to trade away for pretty much any new item you want.jediyoshi said:

If you're doing it for Child's Play, set up a website for this and get in touch with Penny Arcade. They'll link it and it'll be huge. They would also help with how you should do the bidding.Dacvak said:

Does the beta drop the DX8 requirement? Because that's a big part of why TF2 needs so much. L4D only runs on DX9 or above and doesn't need as much power despite looking much better.Yeef said:

Nothing to do with the updates
Just wanted to spend more time and energy looking for a better job and perhaps a part time course to get out of this shitty job.
Spent 1600hours and not one second of that was idling. I could've really used that time better. God...this game really is crack and I really got my money's worth out of it!

So my internet connection here at home is wi-fi, and it's really shitty and laggy and nowhere as good as my internet connection at school was, so I think I'm going to skip out on playing TF2 for vacation. I'll be back next semester, don't worry.

All the new update hats and Boston Basher are now added to the drop system and the store, as of a few minutes ago.
Also prancer's pride was fixed in the holiday crate. Before it was impossible to find, but it now functions properly. It's also been added to the store and drop system, so no need to open crates.
EDIT:
ALL new weapons and hats have been added to the store and drop system
So other than the higher chance of getting an unusual, there's not really a point in opening a holiday crate.

Yeah I'm getting a bit like this and I've only done 800 hours or so. Thinking of going back to Uni and getting another degree in something that I enjoy, rather than for a simple occupation instance. Spend far too much time dealing with online games and not enough on reading and furthering my education and skills.Kuro Madoushi said:Nothing to do with the updates

when the Wiki says a hat is craftable, it only means that you can get it by either crafted 3 refined, or two hats together. Those recipes are random though.kenta said:
The only real hat recipes are the set hats for the original 5 sets, the two Halloween hats, the Saxton Hale Mask, and the Bonk Helmet.
If there's no specific recipe listed on the wiki page, it doesn't have a guarenteed recipe.
Bleh, I wish hats had specific goals or achievements associated with them. I started playing TF2 when it got released for Mac and it was super fun to unlock weapons by pursuing achievements, didn't have to rely on crafts or drops. Wish I still had objectives and rewards to play towards
Like, why not grant a class-specific hat for every 1000 points you earn as that class? Or a set number of point captures as Scout or air juggles as Soldier or Demoman or something

So I found my parents had an ethernet cable lying around the house, and when I use it the internet connection is at least 2 times better than the wi-fi, so I might be able to play some TF2 this vacation after all.
