New update out!

Sappers attached to a teleporter automatically place another Sapper on the other end of the teleporter, if it exists

Engineers wrenching a teleporter will repair the other end as well, and remove Sappers from both if they exist

Very bad for spies.

Wow that's a very impressive list of additions/changes/fixes!

Sandman no longer stuns ubers! :D

Very bad for spies.

Yeah it's not the best as one of the advantages of being a spy is the ability sap the entrances of the tele's and screw the other team over.

Disguised Spies no longer trigger On-Hit effects (like the Blutsauger's heal).

Does that mean you can no longer check if a person is a spy by running into them?

No, it means that you can't tell if they're a spy by using something like the blutsaughter gun now -- it would show that you're gaining health by shooting them.

Lame, IMO.

Don't like this either: "Pistol now fires at a fixed rate, not based on the speed at which you press the firing button."

ok the sapper thing is just stupid.

Added a color blind option to add a Jarate icon above enemies who are busy accepting a terrifying existence where they have no dignity.

Not good for spies who hide behind a low object like a barrel after getting hit with Jarate if they have an icon over their heads unless the icon disappears when the spy cloaks so all you see it dripping pee.

We wait near 3 months since the last update for just a few maps and more useless hats? Sure, this game has always been lacking in maps, especially decent ones, but after 3 months i expect a class update along side of new maps(since we're not out of classes to do yet). Some of the other changes also seem kinda like random, "just to change something", kind of changes too. Disappointing tbh.

Very surprised no trade system was added.

My thoughts (taken from my post on the steam forums:

-Capping the Pistol speed. I personally used a pistol script but people who complained about it jarateed me off as much as true exploiters did....now I don't have to listen to people moan about me using the tools given to me in the game to pwn them.

-Auto-reload option......I personally did not expect this as it can take away the use of the reload key. Even though I used scripts I still had to manually reload with weapons that couldn't use auto-reload and dealt with a few minor bugs so I could auto-reload with specific weapons. Now that auto-reload is built in and works on ALL weapons that are reloadable, I can remove yet another script from my script files and still have the convenience offered by auto-reloading when I can.

-FaN nerfs and fixes, as a scout I personally do not use the FaN unless I want to annoy the enemy, its just not effective enough (pre-nerf). But I also became VERY annoyed by scouts barely hitting me, doing maybe 12 damage, but stopping me and throwing me up in the air, despite barely hitting me. Its also nice that (if I read the notes right) it doesn't push you up in the air if you fire upwards and what not. Will still rarely use it though, but less annoyance vs scouts using it is a bonus for me.

-Sandman nerfs - Good riddance, its cool the scout gets his double jump back but loses 30 health instead, making him essentially weaker than a non-sandman scout. It makes the sandman more of a defensive weapon, he can now use it to ensure he survives and gets away since he has lower health than sandman-less scouts. Glad it cant stun ubers either, that alone made it much too overpowered period. Heavies able to keep spinning their gun through a stun is a much needed buff to heavies vs the sandman. I personally think the damage boost (dmg reduction went from 50% to 25%), it helps put it back into balance with the nerfs it received.

Tested the pistol, it now basically fires at the old pistol scripts speed...possibly a little slower but not much.

Hmmm. I wonder if the "medals" in question is the Soldier's hat?

edit: maybe not a hat, but take a note of this from TF2 Wiki:

The Soldier also has a pair of medals which are not yet implemented for wear.

The first 11,111 people (I think that was the number) to click that button while logged into the Steam community (it could be done through a web browser or the Steam in-game browser) will get special medals for the soldier (I am assuming they go in the new "Misc" slot they have added below hats) in a few days (1-2 days is what someone said a developer said). I personally am one of those people who got one so to my fellow medal-nabbing soldiers, see you and your medals on the field (to laugh at those without, of course). :p

Now if they will only fix the kritz sound loop I have been begging to be fixed since it started with the Scout update.....

Didn't they fix that?

Fixed critboost effect getting stuck on when you die while critboosted.

Critboost I'm pretty sure refers to the arena boost, Kritzkrieg, etc.....haven't had a chance to test it but it should be fixed now.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      1. Define "better". 2. It's still more expensive than equivalent PCs so... And there is not one Windows platform. This is the mistake ALL Apple oriented people make. Apple is one OEM. You could reasonably compare them to one PC OEM, say Dell or HP. But you can't compare them to ALL PC OEMs. Case in point, Apple has NO touch screen MacBooks. No tablet Macs. There are no rugged Macs. The variety of PC OEM design is insane. With Apple, you have... Apple. The problem is that you're starting with Apple as the definition of "good" then filtering out anything that isn't close to an existing Apple product, then trying to homogenise all of those left into a fictional product line and then ignore any innovations to create a minimal feature subset so you can say "See! Apple better!" PS: I was an Apple dev for 17 years and helped develop MacInTalk and disability solutions for Apple, and worked on Microsoft Office for MacOS - and I have several Macs and MacBooks - so tread very carefully.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft has been making major changes in its gaming wing Xbox for a few months now, including the appointment of a new CEO, a large number of leadership changes, and strategy shifts. However, the company is seemingly also looking at initiating a major layoffs wave at Xbox and perhaps even a studio closure. The new report lands from Kotaku, Xbox first-party developer Compulsion Games is being shuttered soon by Microsoft. For those unfamiliar with the studio, it's the team behind Contrast (2013), We Happy Few (2018), and South of Midnight (2025). Its latest game was quite well received, even winning a Peabody Award for its writing. It even received a 9/10 in Neowin's own review, highlighting its engaging storyline, gorgeous world, and curious characters. The studio joined Xbox Game Studios in 2018, just as Microsoft announced it is acquiring Playground Games, Undead Labs, and Ninja Theory. Despite recent listings for new staff roles, according to the new report, Compulsion Games is being closed entirely, with over 90 staff being let go. Kotaku also added that the studio's leadership is in negotiations with Microsoft about this decision, but no official details have been revealed yet. The report lands just as two senior managers of Xbox leave their posts at Microsoft Gaming. Head of Xbox Game Studios Craig Duncan and chief of staff Louise O'Connor originally began their journey in Rare and have been a part of Xbox for over two decades. Dunkan has been responsible for games like Kinect Sports and Sea of Thieves, while O'Connor was primarily working on Rare's Everwild project before its cancelation. If this report about the studio shutdown is accurate, this may just be the start of a major new layoffs wave at Xbox Game Studios. There are also rumors of Arkane Studios being heavily affected. As always, take all these reports with a grain of salt until something official materializes from Microsoft or the studios.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      The flaw with this analysis is that this laptop has a cellphone CPU in it. In the Intel world, that would be an N150 and those are everywhere, even in low end laptops. You can get an N150 based NUC with 16GB RAM and 256GB-512GB SSD... NOT soldered in... for < $500 Canadian (around US$360). The problem is two fold: tech bloggers/writers on most tech site (like this one, ironically) overvalue Apple and apparently aren't in the same earnings class as most regular people. As a result, we get breathless articles about how everyone needs a folding phone when most people just cannot afford one... or really need one. And we get Apple used as the baseline metric regardless of whether that comparison makes any sense. If Dell or HP released a retail laptop with a cellphone motherboard, you'd be all over them for doing that - but Apple does it and it's genius. I see articles suggesting what Samsung - a company that basically started the foldable phone market and has built them for eight years - needs to do to compete with Apple's unreleased, unspecced and unseen folding phone. Sorry, no - if the Neo (really creative name there BTW - still, better than the Go, the other "creative" product name everyone's using) encourages PC makers to make cellphone laptops using lower end ARM processors, we all lose. It's a step backwards and a capitulation to the fact that semiconductor makers and computer OEMs (and tech bloggers) have totally lost the plot.
