I think they might need to tweak the damage the Flamethrowers do, they're a touch too strong now, especially in a Pyro vs Pyro scenario(also Pyro's afterburn resistance seems to be screwy right now, I've gotten set on fire as a Pyro several times tonight)

Ariong posted:I wanted to turn my mouse sensitivity up, but for some reason the slider goes up to ten million. Literally, that's the maximum value on my mouse sensitivity slider. This means that manipualting the slider in any way other than dragging it allll the way down to zero results in unplayably high sensitivity. So, I'll have to set it manually. What sensitivity is recommended? One good trick is that once you've figured out what head height is for where you're shooting, is to keep the mouse lined up at that height, and adjust to left or right as needed by strafing rather than moving the mouse

Worth mentioning at the same time there's only a couple truly bad weapons, and most of those are due to having been overly nerfed because they used to be really good, the main examples of those would be; Baby Face's Blaster: used to be one of the best Scattergun variants in the game because it boosts your already impressive speed up even higher, but they ruined it back in 2015 by making it so you'd lose that extra speed upon taking any damage, so now it's basically a complete liability to use Ullapool Caber: used to be one of the best melee weapons in the game for the Demoman, especially if he isn't using a Demo-Knight loadout, as it would insta-kill many classes in one hit, unfortunately they heavily reduced how much damage it dealt in 2015, making it a complete joke of a weapon these days

Kite Pride Worldwide posted:This is applicable to literally any competitive game with allchat, but my favorite thing 0 effort 'grief' to do in TF2 is to just spew insults (limp-wristed ones are preferable) at nobody in particular when nothing is going on. Like, between rounds or just whenever there's a lull in the game, but you have to make sure that nobody could be correct in thinking that you actually insulting them. So, SO many people have enormous persecution complexes and will think you're talking to them and go absolutely nuclear over these perceived insults towards them. Even better if you have a buddy on the server that you can retroactively say you were insulting so they look extra dumb for getting mad. It's hysterical when it works, which is often. I'm admittedly conflicted about this, cause it is funny to see it done to other people, but having been on the receiving end of it as well, I can definitely say it is an infuriating experience at best, and at it's worst it can be downright spirit breaking Basically I've come to the opinion through my years of playing this game that one should normally only engage in long form griefing if your target has done something to deserve it(basically the Bugs Bunny approach)

Baron von Eevl posted:DeGroot Keep would be a fun and ridiculous meat grinder if normal weapons were allowed.

Heck, why not give the cleaver+wrap assassin combo a try? I did once and felt like I was cheating almost. Heck of a lot more damage than pistol spam could ever manage. Cleaver and Wrap Assassin has long been a favorite of mine, it's great for a "harass enemy snipers and spies" loadout Baron von Eevl posted:I didn't even realize they had gotten rid of this, but looking now minicrits on headshot are really loving powerful. Fully charged headshots will 1-hit everyone but heavy at base health, plus covering them in jarate, plus it charges faster.

I just can't seem to hit the broad side of a barn lately unless I'm playing Sniper(and even there I'm only doing so-so), part of the problem is that I'm definitely having performance problems even after using that Master Comfig program, and the other is that I had lost a long while ago the sensitivity settings I originally had and I just can't seem to find ones that work for me Might just be me getting "old" and my already bleh reaction speed going even further into the trash though

The answer is obviously to get rid of the Halloween/Full Moon restriction completely, though it.would bring up a minor issue of what to do about the Eternaween item(maybe have it enable stuff like spells, ghosts, and skeletons spawning instead*) *maybe even the Halloween bosses if we want to go full crazy

The thing that makes Turbine worse is that it's harder to defend your Intel, thus much harder to keep up the TDM aspects going properly, while with 2Fort it's pretty simple to keep your Intel safe

The problem with having a corporate structure where people only really work on the projects they want to is that it results in most of them not actually doing anything productive, hence why Valve has mostly been sitting around with a thumb up it's rear end the last decade or so, having Steam as a steady income stream has made them too complacent as game developers

I have no issues with the Conch, it basically exists to make most of Soldier's less good Rocket Launchers(basically all of them besides Stock/The Original, Direct Hit, and Liberty Launcher) actually usable*, I mean I doubt anyone would ever touch the Cow Mangler otherwise(and that comes from someone who is a huge fan of that weapon) *except the Air Strike, that one basically requires using either a pair of boots or the Base Jumper to be even remotely practical(though it's one of those weapons that honestly needs a more or less complete rework)
