You know they say that all demons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Pyro Jack and you can see that statement is not true, hee-ho!

Awesome, now instead of debating on which Valve server to connect to, I can truly randomize my experience without fear that I'll end up in some horrible poo poo server that evaded my blacklist.

Aaaaand the Skullcutter taunt looks super goddamn awkward. Great choice, Valve. :psyduck:

On a higher note, the new Valve-servers-only option for quickplay works wonderfully.

Tried three different games, and it only sent me to an empty Valve server once, so it's a success!

All those MvM sessions made me rusty at regular games. Gonna take some readjusting. I think I'll force myself into that Grenade Launcher/Stickybomb Launcher/Eyelander loadout I keep harping on about.

Oh, valve server only for quickplay and less loopholes? While it's great progress, what good is THAT gonna be when there are only like, 5 TF2 Valve servers tops at any given moment these day-



:hawaaaafap:

Considering even seeking out randomly named non 24/7 map servers has resulted in it actually being some crazy server with Voting disabled, donator Pyro is "Det Jumping" up to the second blue spawn on gorge and backburnering people through the ceiling under it, more generic rear end valve servers please.

Yeah, I dunno why they didn't just use the Eyelander taunt. (I'm sure I sound like a broken record, but it seems like the most trivial thing to implement for them.)

Well, it doesn't make much sense to decapitate someone with the pole part, plus the Demoman wipes the sword during his taunt, and that would probably clip with the head of the axe.

The center of balance on a sword is in a completely different place to the center of balance on an axe, so it would look like the axe head had no weight.

We drink loving pan grease from a frying pan, realism is not a necessary metric for deciding on the taunt for our Scottish cyclops gladiator's battleaxe you dinguses

It would look awkward as hell, is the point. The motion would be all off because axes aren't swords and you can tell by looking at them, even if you can't necessarily place it as "well the axe is moving like the center of mass is where a sword's mass would be"

To be fair, the taunt it has now gives no fucks about center of balance and he just hamfistedly holds the axe by the very end of its handle, straight out, as the other hand does the standard kaboom thing.

It's not about realism, it's about looking good. TF2 is all about looking good.
