Ask a Proro!

[TMP]

Hi, I'm creating an off topic thread to answer questions thrown at me.

Seriously, I'll try to answer any question anyone posts here. Related to TF2 or not.

So get asking >_>.

 

[The Political Gamer]

Should the backburner should get it's 50 health back, or at least 25?

 

[Nineaxis]

Is a zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes?

 

[Ravidge]

can you outsmart boolet?

 

[DaBeatzProject]

Can you cry some more?!

 

[Owlruler]

Is the glass half full or half empty?
Also, how do you know when to airblast at close range?

 

[J4CK8]

Is the yes or no answer to this question no?

 

[YM]

Can you describe (in detail and layman's terms) to me the way in which spys and hats work, ever since the addition of hats I've not worked out or been told a clear answer of if and when spies have hats.

(actually tf2 related = bonus points)

 

[DaBeatzProject]

Can I have bonus points without my question being TF2-related?

 

[Terr]

Have you found any pattern at all in that [ame="http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=834542"]damn flamethrower-range bug[/ame]?

 

[Owlruler]

Mine has a secret tf2 question

Should the backburner should get it's 50 health back, or at least 25?

No, the backburner should not get HP back. It really defeats the purpose of using it for ambushing. Having more HP then a soldier and being able to live through 2 basically direct rockets would make him more of a tank. A solution for it involves an extra mobility move, probably a small leap forward with some speed gain from it during it would work. It could allow him to clear some areas you couldn't normally or get to ambush position with more ease, or catch up to your enemy.

Is a zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes?

Never seen a zebra up close in real life, so I don't know! Probably white with black stripes, but I know its used to simulate the look of tall grass for predators.

can you outsmart boolet?

I die most often to boolets, so no D:

Can you cry some more?!

These eyes aren't made for crying, they're made to detect enemy heat signatures through walls.

Is the glass half full or half empty?

Depends on what angle you look at it and your current hormone levels. For me the glass is half empty because I always want more more more! If you're talking about glass as a material, its generally full. Never half.

Is the yes or no answer to this question no?

Neither yes nor no is the answer to the question, as it isn't a yes or no question. Well, it can be, but in my case it is not.

Can you describe (in detail and layman's terms) to me the way in which spys and hats work, ever since the addition of hats I've not worked out or been told a clear answer of if and when spies have hats.

I'll try, although I'm not quite certain.

Spies, when disguised, have no hats. So if you disguise as a spy, you won't have a hat period. The other classes I believe you do get the hat in the disguise, but I have not tested this.

I'll get a friend with a hat and test this, and get back to you with an exact answer.

Can I have bonus points without my question being TF2-related?

I don't give bonus points for tf2 related.

1448 - A Boojum Snark: map on fire = genius
1448 - TMP: nah
1448 - DaBeatzProject: and Mars
1448 - TMP: Yeah
1448 - TMP: I did forget that
1448 - TMP: Its on mars
1448 - Epicness - ScJA Owlruler PDJ: and inside a wale
1448 - TMP: *cough*

I made you some concept art to reference during construction.

Question: Is it good enough?

 

[The Political Gamer]

Wtf ABS

 

[NovaSilisko]

Why does the sky turn purple after fox news reports that the fish have vanished and peas are raining in Africa?

 

[DaBeatzProject]

Can you hurry up answering the other questions please?

 

[TMP]

Have you found any pattern at all in that damn flamethrower-range bug ?

I think its fixed. I get close to my enemy anyways, so I'm not too concerned by it.

Is it good enough?

YES. Its brilliant.

Why does the sky turn purple after fox news reports that the fish have vanished and peas are raining in Africa?

Because HE wills it that way.

Can you hurry up answering the other questions please?

Done, look up.

 

[PL-7764]

Why does it take me 2+ seconds to torch any enemy player to death regardless of their class and current health level, but less than 0.5 seconds for an enemy Pyro wielding the standard flamethrower to burn me to the ground as any class? (I've tried it with bots, other players - it happens every time. I really don't get it...)

Why does the Force-a-Nature consistently kill me in one clip when I'm a Heavy, but I have to fire no less than 6 shots from it to even get an enemy Scout down to 50% health? (Seriously, what the heck?)

Why does TF2 occasionally register an enemy is dominating me after 1 kill or assist kill? (This may be a glitch. I've tested it and determined it really does happen, and behaves strangely - it plays the fanfare, says "X is DOMINATING PL-7764", and shows the "clashing fists" logo on the scoreboard next to the person dominating me, but it doesn't show the medal indicating how many dominations the player has. Revenge registers normally after I kill the dominating player once. This glitch never happens with people who already have 1+ dominations - it's always legit whenever they dominate me, which is all the time. )

 

[J4CK8]

Why do I kill myself as soldier if I fire two rockets at a medic directly infront of me, yet if I'm a medic and I bluts a soldier while directly blocking his path, he kills me in two direct rockets and survives with half health?

Why do I see one sticky fired out of a sticky launcher about 10meters away from me, then it blows me up as heavy, yet I can't kill an afk with 8 stickies surrounding him?

Why do people call you a w+m1 noob if you kill them with the axe, and nothing else?

Why do people keep asking so many questions?

What?

Where am I?

Who the hell are you?

The pyro is probably either very lucky, getting crits with backburner, or attacking you when you have about 150hp.

You're probably missing with a good bit of the flames, as well as attacking them when they are overhealed.

Why does the Force-a-Nature consistently kill me in one clip when I'm a Heavy, but I have to fire no less than 6 shots from it to even get an enemy Scout down to 50% health? (Seriously, what the heck?)

Your aiming needs work. That, or your internet may be lagging on it. What is your ping? Also, are you running vista? If you are running vista, a program called Vista Anti-Lag may help you.

I would guess it deals with the kill tables locally TF2 uses. It may retain some from leavers, I don't know. Maybe the kills are just epic, so it counts it as a domination?

Why do I kill myself as soldier if I fire two rockets at a medic directly infront of me, yet if I'm a medic and I bluts a soldier while directly blocking his path, he kills me in two direct rockets and survives with half health?

Probably because you're missing as medic or soldier? I don't know man. I would guess its how you get to the medic in front of you being a rocket jump, whilst when you are blocking his path you're simply blocking a 200hp class. Not a smart move to do that anyways.

Why do I see one sticky fired out of a sticky launcher about 10meters away from me, then it blows me up as heavy, yet I can't kill an afk with 8 stickies surrounding him?

His internet has dropped.

Why do people call you a w+m1 noob if you kill them with the axe, and nothing else?

People don't call me a w+m1 noob, but I would say it's the general hatrid of a pyro unless he reflectkills or longdistance flares someone.

Why do people keep asking so many questions?

I don't know, but its hard to keep up.

What?

Huh?

Where am I?

On a TF2 forum. Or at your computer.

Who the hell are you?
