Updated the Stickybomb Jumper
-Now uses a unique texture and projectile
-No longer causes the wielder to take increased damage from other sources

Nice it should have always been this way. The extra vulnerability was ridiculous at the cost of not being able to cause damage.

And no Rocket Jumper love? WTF Valve.

So the Killer Exclusive is tied to the upcoming issue of PC Gamer.

Valve/TF2 to save print publishing!

Give me the beak and I'll be the best medic this world has ever seen!

Don't give this man the Beak. He'll only have it torn of his face after I stab him.

Wish their lithographs came with something...

I wouldn't have minded a limited numbered version of the crap fix.

Which issue? December? I think I already mentioned once or twice in this thread that sadly the issue that had a League of Legends skin code didn't have the hat code. Would have been too good to be true!

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

I would think if they just added it, that it would be for the upcoming issue of PC Gamer

But it was on the wiki, and posted by me, like weeks ago, possibly some 3-4 months before December rolls around.

 

[fallengorn]

Maybe there's a delay with the US issue? I'm going to try and get a hold of the UK issue.

[moojito]

You see how they add new drops on thursdays, after people have gotten their single account wednesday night idle on? I see what they're doing there.

 

[Professor Beef]

I got the Professor Speks when I logged in today. I wonder who could've done that?

 

[CornBurrito]

Hmm the community HUD is all fucked up for me now. Anyone else?

Aye, glad you mentioned it since I forgot its name and have no clue how to uninstall it, so I'll have to look it up!

 

[tangmaster96]

great the server crashed

Wouldn't be the gaf server if it didn't crash.

 

[SteveWinwood]

I want a texture for the rocket jumper!

Reflecting for a full crit would mean reflecting would have to be nerfed. Seriously, it'd mean Medics would rage all the time. On the other hand, it would make reflecting crit rollers back at demomen more dangerous...

Still, one crit rocket plus a bit of flames would wreck a Soldier. It'd be obscene. With mini-crits, it takes two rockets to take him out, and it takes two rockets for him to take you out.

Finally, mini-crits and crits have no fall-off damage. Would be great for anti-spam. Would be horrible for everything else.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Yeah community hud fucked up.

Feel bad for that scrub that got scammed in the trading thread.

Hats are srs bsns.

 

[Thagomizer]

Yeah community hud fucked up.

Yaaayyy

 

[Ketch]

Yaaayyy

Don't worry, join us in feeling bad for Kuro because he's a scrub in every thread. =)

Edit: Awesome avatar Accidante!

hahahaha, awesome.

I thought a wingstick was a weapon...but I guess I got a misc item drop! woo!

 

[Cloudius12]

Turn Pacman map to 1 round.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Yaaayyy

I got scammed a maxs head and the big kill a while ago. Just remember it actually doesn't really exist. Granted it could have been turned into something that does actually exist ($$$) but oh well. You have the same real world stuff now as you did a little bit ago. Eh, life goes on. Even though in the other thread you did say you really could have used the money... well just pretend in your mind you never got it. Forget about it. Don't bother yourself over it. That will just make it worse.

 

[cooljeanius]

TF2 keeps telling me it can't CRC maps it downloads from the GAF server. Any idea what that's about?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Yay, I remember how to play (and I even reflected better than ever thanks to new video card and less framerate fuckery).

I felt bad for Boney and people from other continents when people kept voting for several custom maps in a row. :|

That was an enormous bullshit of crits. What the fuck? >=(

My charge was like 90%!

Go to steamapps > [username] > tf2 > tf > resource.

There should be a file called "ui." Delete that file.

I think reflects bumping up rockets could be an interesting mechanic. What I mean is, reflecting a regular projectile makes it a mini-crit, reflecting a mini-crit projectile makes it a full crit. It could make for interesting an interesting back and forth between two pyros reflecting at each other while also making buff banner soldiers think twice about hogging the buff for themselves instead of waiting for teammates.

Healing is for losers.

Your replays always have the worse camerawork. ;(

 

[UnluckyKate]

A player found an Officer Unshanka on a chinese server and everybody went crazy in the mic. That was messed up.

 

[NBtoaster]

Sticky jumper buff still doesn't make caber jumping viable again :'C

Well, maybe on 2fort instapawn..

 

[Drkirby]

What did they do again to make it unviable?

 

[Blizzard]

What did they do again to make it unviable?

They nerfed the caber, didn't they? If I recall correctly it's hard to one-shot people with it now.

 

[NBtoaster]

Err, I mean it hasn't been viable since they made the sticky jumper only affect stickies, and this update doesn't change that.

IMO at least.

I don't think the caber itself has been nerfed. Doesn't say on the wiki.

The caber used to get random crits. And it was awesome.

 

[Maffis]

Sticky jumper is great on arena atleast, but other than that I can't find much use with it outside training.

The new Cow Mangler projectile is TERRIBLE. It's basically like the took the original and shrunk it down so that it's nearly invisible.

It's going to be in the UK issue of PC gamer. It's not know if we are going to get it in the US PC Gamer.

It is barely viable now, it looks like an arrow.

Oh, I remembered them as full crits for some foolish reason. They still lag plenty and generally soldiers have the upper hand.

Then again, bushwhacka minicrits for over 175 a hit. It really shouldn't be able to one-shot pyros...

The only thing is that I predict this would be an ass to code... For fire and piss, it crits if it hits you. For the Banner, it crits if the player that fired is within the aura at the moment of it hitting (meaning a Demo could throw some stickies, jump into the aura, then detonate for minicrits). I mean, I'm sure they could get it to work, and it would be pretty interesting, but we'd be sure to have horrible, horrible bugs pop up from time to time.

On the bright side, one complaint I always had for the Cow Mangler was that the splash area always looked too small. The previous projectile size made me keep missing if I aimed to splash.

It's just because melee crits are set to do 195 damage. At the same time, if you want to buff Pyros and Demoknights, you could do this, but it would have no effect on no crit servers...

 

[Sianos]

The new cow mangler projectile looks almost smaller than the bison projectile. Looks huntsman arrow size, even.

I preferred the moderate style, where it wasn't too flashy or to small.

 

[Yeef]

Oh, I remembered them as full crits for some foolish reason. They still lag plenty and generally soldiers have the upper hand.

Mangler reflects are always full crits. As far as I can tell this patch hasn't changed that. Every other launcher has mini-cirt reflects.

 

[XeroSauce]

Eh, I stopped using the Cow Mangler after I found my Original, so I don't mind. At least this makes for accurate splash shots.
