i'm genuinely curious what else there was. i didnt really follow the thread a great deal.

at least it wasn't as bad as the rock band thread.

Don't turn this into a Rock Band thread! :mad:

Prolly won't use reserve with pyro though. Prefer regular shotty. If I want the extra dmg after a blast I'd rather set on fire and ax.

Edit: rickenslacker that can work too, but you have to wait a bit. If I want fastest plosion I hold it RM.

One thing I'm wondering: Would the Reserve Shooter's faster switch time stack with Degreaser's? If so, that would be insane.

I believe it does.

As it is I find myself doing puff-and-sting as Attendant Pyro using the Flare Gun anyway, and it works... better than it should.

Yeah, I'm giving this a shot next time around. I need to improve my assy Demoman, he's by far my worst class, while fighting good ones are some of the most infuriating encounters of all.

DH I've learned you need to be really close or have good aim.

I loved the liberty launcher when it first came out and that made me want to try and get good with the DH. Surprisingly my close range DH is fucking terrible, I'm better at mid to long distances.

However I was only pointing out how a class can feel different with just a weapon switch. The flow of the game, for me anyway, completely changes not for the better or worse, It's just different.

It's awesome that such a simple game with hats has the ability to do that.

Heavy
Purpose implied by name: Getting in the way and soaking up damage for the team

Minigun replacement:
The Retributor
+ Minicrits enemies that have damaged the Heavy
- Does less damage if the Heavy is at full health

Wouldn't this basically give Heavy/Medic pairs near infinite kritzkreig light?

I guess I should have specified "at full health or above" for the drawback (i.e. if you're being overhealed by a medic you wouldn't get the minicrits)

Yeah but a Heavy/Medic pair under fire wouldn't be at full health for the duration of their battle, and the mini-kritz effect would make it easier for a Heavy to win the fight without dying, allowing him and his medic to rinse and repeat.

I have a lvl 100 attendent. It's just more 'fun' to play the class and I like being able to chase down spies.

It makes for a fun chaos pyro since you can get in and cause chaos and get out.

The damage nerf from being forced to use the degreaser is more annoying to me than the bullet damage increase. I never use melee pyro unless it's for desapping so the degreaser is my least favorite pyro weapon. I really dig the speed boost though.

I think they locked it so people from the synchtube could get in. In previous weeks some were left out as outside folk joined in.

Well its the only possibility to keep parasprites (trolls) out :( And most of us aren't that good at TF2. We just want to enjoy some small private rounds about worrying being good.

That and the skill divide between the regulars of the Janky server and the casual PonyGAFFers would probably be too big. That wouldn't be fun at all.

"Damage nerf?" Do you normally use the backburner?

If not this doesn't make any sense, because the 25% less afterburn damage is easily negated by the quick switch ability. Getting an extra shotgun blast off early already does more damage than the afterburn would do, and that's assuming that they don't put it out.

[EDIT] According to your stats you use the normal flamethrower the most! What is this madness? Do you not realize the degreaser damage reduction only affects afterburn? Silly Javamans!

The reason I say not to jump so much is to focus on your aim. Take your time and make sure you get that shot.

Lots of dummies give you opportunities (double jumping scouts, any other class that is jumping), so if you have a second to reload, take it, get close and shoot them.

When I say don't jump, I don't mean NEVER JUMP! If you see me aiming for that spot you're going to, it's ok to stop and jump (more like lightly hop) in the other direction.

There's no easier shot when I see someone take a REALLY LOOOOOOOOOONG JUMP. Like off a building or a hill onto lower ground, it's really easy to telegraph and get a close shot in. Happened in Harvest with this one medic.

We'll practice again! :)

I don't get the spy knife. The spy looks like he is facing the opposite direction? What about when you move, will you be running backwards? That wouldn't be suspicious at all. And what's the point? It's seems like a really really terrible downgrade to the normal knife (no instant kills and a really confusing "feature")

I was so goddamn confused. I was all like why did he give me two different answers...
Narag said:
Guess that explains this.

There's a Ponygaf steam group one can join that has the server/pw information if one was really so inclined. Skill level between tf2 gaf and ponygaf is quite the divide though.

Totally thought that link was going to be to a totally different post in one of the thousand of MLP debate threads in OT. Your link is better.

Yeah. The way I read it is basically you can do the "walk backwards so it looks like you are retreating" trick while looking forward.

The downside to the knife is really fucking ridiculous though. You basically get to witness people still thinking you are a spy and spy checking you. On decent servers the knife is basically a nerf. On terrible servers it is still a nerf because you don't even need the "walk backwards" trick to prevent people from spychecking.

Gaf is fucking crazy sometimes.

Oh and Crushed, maybe if you played more you'd see that 75% of these supposed face stabs are all in your head.

Couldn't play like I normally do. The huge FPS drops are unbearable. My KDR even dropper by 0.02 percent.

Also if you're reading this Dyg, I love you too! <3

I will learn to aim one day, and then I will do good as scout.

I did well on that one map at least... Barnblitz?

Scout is fun when Spy isn't working and when I don't feel like being a Medic.
