Gandorf61 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Medieval Mode sounds awesome. :thumbup: No comment on the Natascha nerfs because I haven't used it much; is it good or bad?

Dupin Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 http://www.teamfortress.com/australianchristmas/Awesome. It's the first update that's happened since I started playing. Also, item stats:http://www.tf2items.com/id/robinwalkerhttp://www.tf2items.com/allitems.php E: Astronomical pings and none of my old pub servers are online. What fun.

Giordano Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 FINALLY "Slowdown-on-hit effect is reduced over distance." Its something I've ALWAYS said. If regular minigun's damage is reduced over distance, why doesn't Natasha's slow-down too? Now it won't be so damn OP when you're far off, like it WAS. Haha, it felt good saying that 'was'. And Medieval combat? Wow, lol, another thing I've said (and a friend). "TF2's turning Medieval with all these Demo-knight updates." So can only certain class play this mode or all?

So demo Eyelander and sniper Huntsman are all over the place. It's a fun map, I expect it will be better when people actually have the medieval packs. I'm not sure which count as medieval, but the medic one definitely does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jernlov Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 And the balance of this game in public servers gets forever worse.Balance never existed in pubs, what the hell are you going on about?I didn't really imply that - I'm an FPS gamer and the constant slew of new items that change the game's balance/purpose for, in my eyes, the worse, turns me away from it. We're at the point now where people care too much about what silly hat they have and what unlocks they get rather than having fun playing a first-person shooter. It's me that's the problem here. I went into this game in 2009 expecting a fun, light-hearted FPS as a break from BF2 and Quake III but what I've ended up with is a series of disappointments in regards to that. I don't know, man. Maybe I have more fun playing serious mode instead of casually and that's why I see the constant ridiculous items and hats as a bad thing. I'm not some division 1 elitist but I do like to feel there should be an element of skill to playing FPS games - TF2 has blown my mind with the stuff they introduce to make it easy. Yeah, my problem. I'm old-fashioned. Either I find a team or I find another game. I won't bother anyone about it but this game loses my interest at every single major update. There's always the beta.

Dupin Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 That's only worth a scrap. I (stupidly) put 2 reclaimed into this bow. I'll give you the backscratcher for the candy cane if you want, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS.Brass Beast sucks. <_<Scrap seems low to me (I traded a Festive Crate for it), but I'll give it to you free to try out, and then you can give it back after a bit/ if I see a crazy offer on the Steam forums. It's actually not that great as a weapon. Pretty average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alg Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Probably works better for backburner pyros. I know I'm not going to melee the enemy for crits if I can ambush instead. Got one from a crate, might as well use it. Bit surprised how easy to craft the JAG is as well. I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dupin Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 The jag is really the only clearly useful item out of the whole bunch. E: Giordano got the Backscratcher, I still have the crossbow if anyone wants it for 2 reclaimed/a decent new weapon. BTW, what makes the minigun bad? Just the reduced move speed? And has anyone tried the Fists of Steel? I saw someone using them on a normal (non-melee) server and owning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw someone using them on a normal (non-melee) server and owning.Well the way I play Heavy is that I move around a lot, so anything that slows my speed and roll-up time is bad. Plus, I move so slow, I run out of ammo since my teammates pick up all the dead enemy weapons. :mellow: I figured it would be a good defense map, but with defense you still ambush and move around to counter-attack: that's half of defense. The only time I would use it if it's a dead-on last CP, choke-point route scenario. Only then, since you're standing in the same small area (hopefully with a dispenser :pray: ) I think it's useful. Of course, if a counter-attack opportunity arrises, you're screwed because you won't be able to execute it quick enough.

Dupin Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 They're not game-changing, but it doesn't hurt to give them a try (unless it's the ullapool caber). E: If anyone is feeling rich, I'm looking to trade a refined for a festive key. Also, apparently it's double drop week. E2: Lawl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
