Dang, that's quite a turndown for many users. It's good that the damage input is still the same but I can't run fast and do quite the damage as soldier anymore


And it's funny how I saw many people asking to a pyro nerf, and he gets a buff :V

These people should quit multiplayer games.

[Esoterica]

Very happy with the balance adjustments as a whole, though I lol'd that phlog got nerfed (this thing was already trash, why nerf it?).

They're years late on the Equalizer nerf honestly, fucking Robin and his being a Soldier main >_>

anywho, time to finish updating then tweak items_game.txt to play with the new toys BV

i

what

[Gpop]

Actually, now it makes a difference between degreaser and normal flamethrower with damage it takes now since the others have a +10% damage increase

[DX7.EP]

Equalizer nerf T_T

BUT....

Fixed Macs cancelling http map downloads that take longer than 30 seconds

YES. Now Mac users on our server won't have problems with custom maps!

[Alpha]

Curses. I was late. Pocket Pistol craft number 169.

Ah well, I'm still happy to get one.

[Entropy]

- Added new items
       * City on Fire item sets
       * Pyroland weapons and cosmetics
       * Community-contributed cosmetic items for all classes
       * Mysterious treasures have been incinerated, but are now craftable

Some of those values were getting pretty high; I have to wonder how that's going to go over...

       * Crusader's Crossbow
               * Reload speed time reduced by +40%

<--- (really would've preferred projectile speed...)

       * Crit-a-Cola
               * Added +25% increased movement speed while active
               * Increased duration from 6 to 8 seconds

That'll get some use.  :3

[Romantique Tp]

Some of the items that were added to the game: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse?appid=440&p=1&browsesort=accepted&browsefilter=accepted

[Freyband]

Got a #444 pistol \o/ (probably be an idiot and rename it 44.4 magnum as a joke).
May try one of the crate keys, but not till I'm sure what it drops (also on that note, anyone want a scorched cheese wheel? It's free)

[Esoterica]

Messing around with Scorch Shot.

It's even worse than I expected, and I already expected it to be one of the worst weapons in the game.

[yuyukos]

I crafted 3 sets of Ashes. I got a Lollichop and 2 46s. I bought some keys, unboxed a Strange Rainblower and a Gentleman's Ushanka.

Wow

I got a fucking strange Rainblower too.

I guess I can trade off my regular one now if anyone wants it

[yuyukos]

Rainblower taunt = AoE flame explosion.  :V :V :V :V

[Wisp]

Whoaaaaa, Pyrovision looks so cool. Rocket trails are bubbles and everyone is happy and shit.
Speaking of rockets, I got the new burst-fire one, ineffective but tons of fun.

[Esoterica]

Scorch Shot demonstration if anyone's curious.

Does it shoot the rockets consecutively, or simultaneously?

EDIT: oh dear what

[Wisp]

Does it shoot the rockets consecutively, or simultaneously?

Consecutively. Starts out with zero rockets in the clip, holding it down will load rockets, releasing will fire them. When you load all three rockets, you have just about one second to fire them or else they'll explode in your face.
The spread makes it hard to hit a single target but it's good for hitting and breaking up crowds. Seems like it's for people who like to play the artillery.
Btw, since you have to load rockets to fire, rocket jumping will be considerably harder.

EDIT: Oh sweet, something for Demoman? I pray that whatever it is will help against Scouts and Pyros.

[Esoterica]

Consecutively.

Christ.  This is going to be hell for Pyros...

[DX7.EP]

Liking the silly bulletin boards and slideshow presentation in Doomsday quite a bit. Not surprisingly bots are unable to play effectively on this map after nav generation.

Also got a S. Escape Plan and a Vintage one. No, I won't be trading them, but it is interesting to see the original Equalizer item qualities get carried over to the Escape Plans.

Lastly SourceMod broke predictably, and assuming an update we'll announce a Doomsday (and possibly Reimu) meeting for this weekend.

[InfernalExuro]

I, however, don't plan on using my S. Equalizer anymore, so both it and my S. Escape Plan are up for bidding.  :V Alongside a Sight for Sore Eyes and possibly a Dillinger's Duffel.

And man did the pocket pistol get crafted fast. I was late to the crafting by less than a minute, yet I ended up with craft number 1165.

[Hanged Hourai]

Trade ate up my new heavy misc, other person had the same happen to their item. What do?

[N-Forza]

Wait until the item server sorts itself out.

A lot of those rebalances were a long time coming, and they made the Quick-Fix a bit more viable with the bungee cord-like feature. Good times.

[InfernalExuro]

Yeah, the item servers have been screwy all day. Some of my items migrated outside of my normal BP capavity while still equipped. :V

[Raikaria]

EDIT: Oh sweet, something for Demoman? I pray that whatever it is will help against Scouts and Pyros.

A good Demo already has no counter, and is overpowered. The last thing it needs is something for Scouts and Pyros, who are pretty much the only classes with half a chance against a good demo. [And a very good Demo will hit Scouts anyway, and Airburst to kill Pyros...]

[Messiah]

Guess I will have to master RJumping to make a use of the Market Gardener or else follow the path of the samurai  :3

You're talking about b4nny, right ?

[Esoterica]

Naw, b4nny just looks at his keyboard and the other team dies. BV

Please tell me this is sarcasm

[N-Forza]

Unboxed an Unusual Searing Plasma Engineer's Cap last night.

Might trade it for a bubbling one though.
