Good games tonight guys. One of these days I'll learn how not to be a drag on the team. In the meantime, I guess I just have to hope that Yeef's magic stax plugin puts me on the winning team

Anymore Janky-Ass videos? I didn't save any. Wish it did it automatically, sometimes I just forget. =\

Damn! Just saved a bunch of replays of the last round of badwater basin, but TF2 crashes when I try and play them!
There was an update to the mapchooser plugin. I'll load it tomorrow. It has a feature that I vaguely recall someone requesting like a week ago.
So, for example, I could set Thunder Mountain to be excluded if we've played it in the last X hours.
Where X is 48 because that's how long one game on that map takes, am i rite? lol
Minisentry + Shotgun should outdamage a wrangled minisentry provided you can aim. The only real benefits to using a wrangled minisentry is that it has aim assist and that it has no fall off, so you can use it for sniping.XeroSauce said:

I can't remember a game that had an awesome replay system, it was a sport game that I played at someone's house, but the name misses me. I think it was a Tony Hawk game.Pancakes said:

At least it should get an automatic recording option. I've missed many awesome moments because I forgot to press F6.Yeef said:

Damnit, I'm always late to the party ;_;.
What else is more poorly implemented? The drop system is fine, the community is nice, balance is debatable but it doesn't ruin the game.
What are you getting at?
It's pretty much mandatory in a good FPS these guys.

Apparently there's a bit of auto-aim with the Wrangler, if you keep the crosshairs on a target it will move towards the center of their bodies.Blizzard said:
Also, I was thinking my connection was janky for a few days, so I checked my rate and it changed from 35000 to 3500. It happened once before, some strange bug with updates, maybe?

It is not ideal, but it could be worse. That said, hat drops are ridiculously low for aesthetic items.Kulock said:

If it didn't Engineers would be missing a lot more and players wouldn't have lasers in their face.
Ever notice that the laser is always pointed to the middle of the enemy's body and as a player you need see it above you or at your eye level? There's a bit of snap to when the Engineer is near a player.

I'd even record voice myself if they could just put the HUD in. Next on my list would be the ability to choose which person's kill feed to highlight in white. I would make a large number of first person videos, but without the HUD it only looks interesting if you place it in third person. At that point, only the main combat classes really show off.Yeef said:
Also, I'm tired of people calling the Enforcer overpowered. It does 72 damage max without a crit. The regular revolver does 60 damage max. Most times you pull out the revolver will be with your opponent not at max health, and even then at most the Enforcer will generally save you just one shot.
People are using it so much and yet calling it OP that I'm forgetting what it's downside is supposed to be.

It was worse for a very long time. Now it's just "not quite as terrible" as it was.
For example, there's the arbitrary limits on drops, deciding if you've "played enough" this week, or if you wasted items because you didn't idle. They're just starting to figure out craft recipes (past one or two short-lived experiments with them), and doing strange things with them still, not to mention some of the crazy costs for items. 1 Refined for a common weapon that might drop for you next week? They drastically reduced how long it takes to save up for a refined, and it still takes 2-3 weeks at eight hours a week idling or playing minimum, and that's if you happen to get nothing but items that craft with each other.
Then they talked about you being able to "influence" which items you get, and while I believe they worked on it (and there are the craft recipes for some items, some more reasonable than others), it's definitely not there yet. Items from the original Medic and Pyro updates are just as likely to drop as newer items, or items you need. I remember, pre-trading, there being a point where I needed an Eyelander, having crafted my achievement-granted one, and it was weeks upon weeks before the game dropped one for me. I was just stuck otherwise. Now, the options are a little more open, but at the end of the day, the drop system could give you the cool new rocket launcher everyone's drooling over, or it could give you a pair of Gunboats. There's no higher logic to it, it's all lottery.
Hats, as you mentioned, have a cruel drop rate (even after they doubled it) for something they wouldn't stop talking about for months and months on end (and are now synonymous with the game), and I have a page full of crates that are literally worthless to me or anybody else.
And yet I know the minute I trash them, Valve will let you start crafting them into things.

When compared to Black Ops or Halo Reach replay, it sucks balls. Loading screen just to forward 10 seconds? C'mon!

Well if it helps me kill these bastard pyros who airblast spam me into a corner with no hope of escape I think it's fair.

I'm considering switching to a Homewrecker pyro at the start of every payload match on the GAF server to give our Engineers some backup against those filthy, dirty spies. Ugh.
Out of curiosity, does destroying a Sapper with the Homewrecker count as a destruction?

on the weapon itselfXeroSauce said:
Kind of like how Wikipedia puts development histories on game pages that have interesting pasts.
It has to load to go backwards 10 seconds. If I recall correctly Halo's replay editor can't rewind like a VCR either. TF2's replay editor does fast forward, though.MarkMclovin said:
The loadout screen still needs a lot of work imo, as does the backpack. The replay editor is more fully featured than I ever could have imagined. Okay so it doesn't have a million features, but for working on an engine that they created years ago it's pretty damn good! Anything advanced I want to do in terms of TF2 video creation I can just do in Adobe Premiere using the very beautifully rendered TF2 replay footage.Pancakes said:

Pretty sure that Red Pyro was me. And now I understand why it looked like I died to that other Pyro so easily...
For the record, I would have totally been okay with being knocked out of the park by a random taunt kill like that.

I dislike auto balance regardless, always manages to separate me from friends.
