New Unknown Items (Thursday, May 20)

[Terr]

Hrm. So how does this affect the research in those videos about the flamethrower and huntsman? Was that Terr who did those?

I probably couldn't re-make those two videos today due to Valve's changes. I'm annoyed how Valve seems to be removing debug stuff... especially when all the damage of people misunderstanding what they show was already done years ago. For the hitboxes, there ought to be a workaround via sv_showlagcompensation.

The problem Valve is referring to is that the wireframes would "lag" behind players as they moved, and people wrongly (but understandably) interpreted it as a bug. In reality, it was normal and had to do with how the game engine worked to smooth out movement and keep the world in-sync among various players.

Yeah, I don't like the bleeding Kukri either, especially because it messes up cloaking (which probably isn't on purpose).

Yeah, Sniper already has Jarate. He doesn't need more in terms of a Spy-counter.

Has anyone else realized yet exactly what Ze Goggles are supposed to be?? :O

More directly:

Makes me want them 100x more than the others all of a sudden.

Yep Although they seem more "Engineer" than "Medic" to me.

Does the Medic look a bit like Egon?

Not a bug.

I want a fishing hat!
So yesterday I crafted my 4 refined metals and my sniper tokan ( I was saving for a rainy day) And I got a: Shooter Sopi -.- (bad hat) so I crafted with my stovepipe and got a Mining light D=

So in the end I crafted that with the ten gallon (my last hat) and got A modest pile of hat! WIN.

What about those new Slot Tokens that came out with this update, what do you think they will be for? Are they going to ad Grenades again!?! :O

 

[fubarFX]

if you think of it, jarate pretty much IS a grenade isn't it?
is the jarate game breaking? no.
no need to panic then

quick! someone put 3 jarate together and see what happens!

 

[A Boojum Snark]

As said earlier in this thread, and like every other update that happens, those have been in there since the beginning.
