7:37 PM - flame ♫: best update ever

[Grim Tuesday]

LOL you can build infiniate sentrys/dispensers now!

Way to go Valve!

I don't know what's funnier: That they didn't catch this bug, or that it really isn't the gamebreaker you'd expect it to be. They're going down pretty easily for some reason. Maybe it's because the engies are too busy to keep them maintained?

Yeah, and every goddamn person on every goddamn server is doing it. Why do people insist on making the game not fun for everyone else?

 

[Pocket]

After spending several hours on an all-A/D/PL server, it looks like the extra sentries were doing more harm than good. BLU is winning almost every round. And now, we managed to hold out for like five minutes on stage 3-A of Dustbowl with no sentries at all.

I'm starting to wonder if maybe Valve did this on purpose to test how multiple sentries would effect the game, for the Engineer update.

EDIT: Also, from what I hear, this exploit involves disabling the secondary weapon, is that right? More reason to suspect this is an Engineer Update feature that got rolled out too soon.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Looks to be fixing right now...

Im getting an update. Anyone else?

Ah the good old. "Oops we fucked up" hot-fix.

This was suggested by someone somewhere: The Backburner needs a sort of "backblast," a jet of air streaming out the opposite end of the backburner that propels the pyro skyward or forward depending on directional pointing. (Looking up will fire you upwards, forwards will propel you forwards ect.)

Nvrmnd. It was just downloading last nights update, that somehow didnt get downloaded. Silly Steam.

 

[CapellanCitizen]

Also, for a brief moment, the spygineer was back, and better than ever!

R.I.P. Spygineer, you will be (Yet again) Missed.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Basilisk FTW.

 

[AgeNt_]

anybody else noticing when you do the sentry glitch some of them say "Map Built By [name]" instead of "Sentry Built By [name]"??? also some are blank.

 

[Mr. Wimples]

Oh valve, do they ever cease to amaze us with buggy updates?

On a brighter and more interesting note, me and a friend made a fun game out of it: Opened up a KOTH map (infinite time), we each got 15 sentries and 5 dispensers each, then when we were set up we spawned about 20 opposing bots. Made a sort of tower defense thing with it. Needless to say, it kept us entertained for a couple of hours.

It is my opinion that they broke so much in this update just so they could all fix it today, and call the the 119th update!

 

[Dr. Spud]

The veteran medals are awesome! Though too bad there's not a "You've played since day 1, hour 1 of TF2 Beta" medal.

 

[Terr]

Spies can no longer exploit the sentry bug, the but a slight variation on the bug still exists for engineers, so you can lock down a room with twenty sentries.

 

[EArkham]

I'm happy. Flaregun afterburn is fixed. The backburner tweak is appreciated, but I still won't use it.

Played last night a bit as pyro. Airblast changes are crazy overpowered IMO. And I only noticed the flamethrower damage reduction when going after sentry nests or edging a tanked sentry. Pyro tweaks are pretty much all big uptweaks now.

Played as heavy a bit as well, and that 25% rev up increase is niiiiice, especially with natascha.
