FRIENDSHIP ENDS IN ONE DAY

Which I generally try to do with my shotgun while defending my sentry anyway.

yeah, let me know how that worked out

are you trying to shit up the thread (http://dagobah.biz/flash/successful_troll_2.swf) again kyon :cop:

[ICEE]

Did you even read the downsides?

Is there some downside that im missing? It says a slower priming rate, 0.4 seconds per bomb. Now, does this mean that it takes longer for each individual bomb to be explodable, you can fire them at a slower rate, or that there is a detonation delay of 0.4 seconds PER explosive being detonated? DEFINITELY HOPING IT IS THE LAST ONE.

If it is, then as long as valve makes it highly evident that the stickies are about to blow, then the engineer will HOPEFULLY have enough time to start shotgunning them.

Scottish Resistance (http://www.teamfortress.com/demomanupdate/index.htm#item_3), I fucking called it (http://www.modacity.net/forums/showpost.php?p=498025&postcount=195).

Edit: At ICEE, from what I can tell there is a 0.4 second delay between you commanding "explode" and the bombs "exploding".

[Inferno]

Am I doing it right?

Freelancer is wrong again, shocking


it means you can't explode the stickies until they've been shot for an additional .4 seconds

Real Demomen aren't girly enough to require non-explosive projectile weapons, let alone pretend to die only to shoot down an enemy with a puny pistol!

You're are not doing it right sir, not at all!

[ICEE]

At ICEE, from what I can tell there is a 0.4 second delay between you commanding "explode" and the bombs "exploding".

What I want to know is does that stack up, or does it go in a chain? does it multiply the number of bombs by 0.4 and detonate in the resulting amount of seconds, or does it detonate them one by one with 0.4 seconds in between?

They werent very clear.

Also, great post inferno. Not like the mods are on edge or anything.

EDIT: @ the constructive part of kyons post: Are you sure?

[CN3089]

EDIT: @ the constructive part of kyons post: Are you sure?

Nope, but I'm assuming they're referring to what the tf2wiki calls "initialization," (http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Sticky_bomb_launcher) the time from when the sticky leaves the launcher to when it can be detonated, since a delay in detonation would leave it near useless.

[Bodzilla]

kyon is correctermundo.

i dont know how you guys came to your weird wacky ideas on what it ment.

[CN3089]

Also keep in mind the demo has to be looking at his stickies to detonate them, which somewhat decreases their usefulness against sentries as well.


Unless they have L4D-style outlines through walls and you can do it that way :ugh:

[Needles]

I'm liking these updates, I'll probably be using the new primary weapons for solider and demoman, they actually look pretty decent.

[Rook]

The soldier pick axe seems really awesome, definitely wouldn't want to drop the shotgun though... It's too useful.

[OmegaDragon]

It's almost over! Half an hour left I believe.

if demos scrape through with a win at the end of this i'm gunna have to choke a bitch.

[Jelly]

threats can't save you now soldier!

[Yoko]

I want Demoman to win so bad right now

Imagine all of the "SOLJEER WAS GONNA WIN Y U DO THES VALVE FKCUC TF2 IS BAD GAEM BOYCOTT" threads Valve will have to sort through. :allears:

[ICEE]

Theres still time for the engie to win. Cmooon...

Oh, and go over to the tf2 propaganda posters winners under the 3rd place.


We didn't think there was any way to make that not funny, but John Freeman somehow did it, and for that he gets third prize.

Don't worry, this is Valve here, update probably won't come out till Saturday.

[English Mobster]

SOLDIER WON.
Hah.
(Although when I was playing as Soldier, I didn't kill a single Demoman, instead I got killed by a shitload of Demomen. Conversely, when I was decided to play as Demoman on a server, I got 14 Soldier kills by total accident.
Afterwards, I went Medic so I couldn't accidentally kill any more poor Soldiers.

dont know if anyone noticed this (http://www.teamfortress.com/war/demo/05.htm)

It no longer says "we made him the same offer". It now says "Your friends employers made him the same offer"

They also fixed the inconsistency between the comic and the demomans bio, whereas the bio said he was adopted and the comic clearly showed him with his mother.

Demomans updated bio:


A fierce temper, a fascination with all things explosive, and a terrible plan to kill the Loch Ness Monster cost the six year old Demoman his original set of adoptive parents. Later, back at the Crypt Grammar School for Orphans near Ullapool in the Scottish Highlands, the boy's bomb-making skills improved dramatically. His disposition and total number of intact eyeballs, however, did not.

Word of his proficiency with explosives spread, and it was not long before Crypt Grammar received two visitors: Demoman's real parents, who lovingly explained that all Demomen are abandoned at birth until their skills manifest themselves, a longstanding, cruel, and wholly unnecessary tradition among the Highland Demolition Men. His unhappy childhood had ended. But his training had just begun.
New part in bold

[Heathen]

See, I wondered why his mom was black.

[Darqeness]

Update's live!

Is there any way to know what the demomans secret weapon would have been

"The Sandman now only stuns on a max range hit (when you hear the cheering)"

Hey thanks for ruining the game Valve I'm gonna have to write an angry letter now

Probably the same thing.

*points down*



Soldier is getting 4 new weapons, he won't be nerfed anytime soon, play something other than engie scout.

fixed that for you

[Yoko]

I'm gonna be one of the scrubs who plays demo and soldier 24/7 for a while like everyone else, don't worry. Besides I already have 2 demo items :realsmug:

[Darqeness]

Alright, I opened up Hammer since all the Oceanic servers are completely full or haven't updated yet, and look at what I found in the material browser...

E: it puts you in flee. I'm fine with that. And I love everything else.

Spy stuff sounds great! I can't even remember it all or what I was so excited about...


OH YEAH! The multiplayer options stuff!!!

[n00b1n8R]

So crafting requires a huge ammount of stuff to make 1 object, cool.

this.

I got like 43 charging targes.

[Aerowyn]

It's been like christmas on the server I was on tonight. I got 7 or 8 items at a time, when I got item drops, and I got 2 hats randomly.

Tried to craft, server's too busy, so that's not happening. :(

[n00b1n8R]

Welp, unlocked soldier milestone 2 and didn't recieve a weapon. GG valve :gonk:

Fine, huh?

In other news, the Targe/Eyelander combo is the most fun I've had playing TF2 ever.

[neuro]

how the hell are you people getting your junk?!

i only have one hat, the gribus. and like 4 weapons.

and i dont play that little. i just barely ever get anything, but when i see other people getting something, they get AT LEAST 2 things at a time, ive seen people get like 8 things in one go, what the hell is up with that.

8 things at a time would be them in an idling server then coming to a regular server after idling.

Andddddddd the direct hit is awesome

[ICEE]

An enemy soldier thought he would target me with the direct hit, coming to attack me over and over.

The standard rocket launcher prevailed.

Also, fuck you guys. I haven't gotten shit.

[ExAm]

8 things at a time would be them in an idling server then coming to a regular server after idling.I got about four weapons at once yesterday, no idling required. One of them was the scottish resistance. The Eyelander and the Targe I got individually, a few hours apart. Also got the gunboats.

FYI, I don't idle. EVERYONE was getting tons of random drops last night.

In one series of drops I got two Eyelanders, the Scottish Resistance, the Buff Banner, a KGB, Sandvich, Huntsman, and Camera Beard.

Good crafting fodder, in any case. Valve really has rewarded the idlers for getting so many duplicates that I may need to consider starting up idling myself.

[ultama121]

I just want the direct hit. :neckbeard:

Yeah that was happening in the RAGE server too. I just mean literally 8 items at once for the same person. Unless you're getting the items while steam servers are down then you get them all at once.

tl;dr I saw a bunch of items been given out at a fast rate but not 8 to the same person at once.

[neuro]

in ALL OF LAST WEEK PLAYING!

i got a flare gun.

[CabooseJr]

Anyone try out the bots? They only work on KOTH maps at the moment, but they seem pretty good.

[Good_Apollo]

I've never gotten a new weapon through lucky drops. Had to unlock all mine the old fashioned way. I've gotten 1 hat.

I do, however, have like 12 FANs and about 8 KGBs...yay luck.

[English Mobster]

I hardly ever get items. :saddowns:

I am seeing a lot more... erm... "adult language" seeping it's way into this game. A lot of "up your ass" and such. It's not that I mind, it's just an observation.

My favourite demoman line:
"AWWWW, there's a new angel in heaven.... IN HELL!!!"

[n00b1n8R]

"GO HOME LASSY, MEN ARE FIGHTING HERE!"

pyro's vagina confirmed

"GO HOME LASSY, MEN ARE FIGHTING HERE!"

But it wasn't confirmed when heavy said "I WAS TOLD WE WOULD BE FIGHTING MEN" ?

Haha, the Demoman drunk clips are great.

"Aughstahgeban I love ya man..."

THAT PYRO IS A FURRY

It was great... we totally lost a match last night -- and the entire spawncamping team was waiting outside our door to crash our party at end-round slaughter.

So I switched to the flare gun.

HADOOOOOOOOKEN!!!

[Phobias]

So I killed an entire team through a gate during setup on hoodoo.


Love the Equalizer taunt.

I still can't connect to the loadout server. What the fuck
