1st for this is better than having 5 spies every game

pyro is so fucking bad now it's unreal

>flames don't work at close range
>flame falloff increased drastically
>flamethrower range overall decreased
>airblast is COMPLETE RNG and does literally nothing unless you aim at the ground or sky when near someone, and even then is entirely unpredictable. it fucks both you and your target over far more than old airblast despite the notes saying they wanted the opposite. fucking demoknights can't even be stopped. pyro has no self defense whatsoever.
>flame particles linger too long
>there's literally no skill involved with the class anymore at all, especially pyro vs. pyro
>pyro vs. pyro fights always end in trading deaths because airblast does jack shit and even if you get lucky and push the other guy back the flames still hit you because they linger for a full fucking second and are unavoidable. pulling out secondary means you lose.
>heavies are now 3x harder to kill due to the falloff, inability to hit point blank, and particles being autistic against slow or stationary targets

this is far and away the absolute worst fucking thing valve has ever done to an already weak class and the game as a whole. i want to uninstall so badly but i'm holding onto a tiny bit of hope that all this gets fixed.

is there any custom hud that is literally just health and ammo numbers in each corner

no fancy animations, backgrounds, colors etc just white numbers

halloween

WEN

fuck the brass beast contract
I've tried every conceivable method of getting the "take 1000 damage" for it but nothing works
I've tried having it equipped, I've tried having it out, I've tried having it revved, nothing fucking counts
Has anyone managed to do it, and if so please for the love of god tell me how you managed it

I'm glad they didn't buff the axtinguisher.

Soon user, soon.

>4 reflect kills
>nobody plays soldier

What's a good name for a Cardboard Boxed Claidheamh Mor? I've got "The Larper's Longsword" but I feel like there could be something better

I wouldn't mind giving them the swing speed, but keep the switch shit. fuck axesting.

Are the contracts worth the money?
Kinda want to buy them because doing the free ones has been pretty interesting, but I really dont want to spend money on more unless I can get that money back by selling the shit I get from it.

>but everyone is using dragon's fury

don't the reflects just deal 30 damage?

Virginity protector.
Guardian of chastity
The orgasmo begonso

you have to do it now, I just made all my money back somehow instantly.

You gave me an idea for a description

"You wanna take MY virginity? Heh... Come get it!"

>wrangle contract
>unless you have a level 1 it doesn't register at all
>jag, frontier justice and wrangle a level 1 to get a shit ton of kills which I then spend with my FJ


holy crap this is viable AND fun.

The Box Cutter

okay nevermind the contract odesn't even count fucking reflected dragon's fury kills

Did they fix the gunslinger contract yet?

It does, they just have to be very low on HP so the first tick of damage is what kills them.

heres a question.

how does valve offer to change a weapon in an update, but not actually fucking change the weapon?


does valve not even balance test their changes? how is it possible to say "oh we'll increase the speed of the pocket pistol" but it never gets increased.
HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?

Thats like making a new map that no one played and then release the map and its some how missing textures. OH WAIT THATS ENCLOSURE

>does valve not even balance test their changes?
The fact that they forgot to put a fucking spawn room barrier on their official map says yes

or that one wall that you can litterally shoot through on mann park.

everything is broken but at least this will never happen again

The Dragon's Fury is the most fun weapon they ever added

I'm wasting time at work not being able to concentrate because I just want to go home and blast fools

something seems weird, hitscan seems better since the patch.

how to unfuck my damage text? I want it thicc and yellow again

>tf2c fag reports me for making non-league maps
>start making league map lobbies
>tf2c fag reports me for doing "unpopular maps"
the whining never ends

what are some good huds that come with xhairs?

>using anything but singular dot

quake is gay

>made all my money back
you know keeping the money in their system is exactly what valve wants right?

I then traded it for keys which I then traded through paypall back into my credit which I then took out of my bank, converted to gold flakes and burried under a rock.

a rock I did not pay for.

what are some good huds that come with xhairs?

use the default one lmao

>Batman logo

>using tf2c
Ha Ha, oh wow.

it's for batarang aiming

just use the regular one fag

1 week

Not just cut out a piece of paper in your favourite shape and glue it to the monitor.

make me, fag

>Giving Valve more shekels

>Soldier contract
>realize my terrible mistake when teams are still 70% Pyro
they're not even good at killing me with it, they're just invalidating my shots at anything other than point blank

Larpers Longsword is pretty good, though if you wanna go for some low hanging fruit then making a *teleports behind you* joke is bound to get you some recognition

>soldier contract
>realize gunboats means they're never going to touch me

sord is a good classic, now even moreso

If any if you unbox an unusual paint and want to sell it I'd be interested

>every shitter is using dragon's fury
>use stock flamethrower, left click once and then airblast the projectile into them for an instant kill

lmao shit gun

>be on 2fort for a contract
>enemy heavy is doing the health glitch around the map, in our area too
>offer rock paper scissors for shits and giggles
>maybe I'll win and it'll kill him
>he rolls rock, I roll paper
-999 and my hitsound plays once
>voice (blu heavy): Thanks!
>he runs away

I love this glove

>Lapis Lazuli
Guy's on skial a lot, pretty shit.

that view model is disgusting

this update was a huge success in terms of mechanical reworks
>new particles are finally consistent with damage, though they are hard to see through and lag your game
>lingering flames make it possible to flarecrit, so if you are running stock/flare pyro v pyro won't be just a contest of who has the best movsment (see that one webm, you know which one)
>new airblast if used correctly is much more effective than the previous one, but also gives enemies more of a chance to escape
aside from the huge amount of bugs with the update id say I like it alot

Imagine being so bad you have to justify cheating to yourself by calling it something different

yes but if you get 2 reflects in a row or if the enemy is on fire from your own flames it'll be around 130 damage
its pretty easy considering the firing speed of the fury is about the same as the airblast speed of the normal flamethrowers

airblast is completely random though. you can't control the enemy's momentum beforehand, the angle is extremely fickle, and there's million physics collision errors that fuck with it so every single time you use it is different. it's even less fun to play against and is unreliable for its intended purpose. i'm fine with giving people more air control after being airblasted but this didn't even do that. the base functionality should've stayed similar because right now it's worse than the force a nature before they refined its knockback.

>the only way you can die is a backstab
>and u can avoid that by sitting in a corner
this is actually far worse then cheating

Hey when valve adds autobalance I'll agree that cheating is wrong.

until then.

>finally decide to sell all the shit in my backpack
>try to list something
>trade will be on hold for 7 days because I didn't give gabe my phone number
>no way to disable or circumvent this mobile security bullshit
>list the item anyway
>have to confirm every goddamn 10 cent crate per email

Fucking hell, since when has the steam market turned into such a hassle?
>

it's also really easy to tell when they're gonna shoot because of the repressurization making them have to act fast or lose damage output

uncle Dane is mad

People always use this line of thought to defend anything shitty they do.
>It's not stealing, just taking advantage of the owner's obliviousness, I'm not snatching it from their hands

I hate this guy for letting the rescue ranger get nerfed like this.

...

>haha u mad bro lmao xdddd salty???
fuck off spastic

because jews can't let other jews jew or else they won't make any shekels

>break into someones house left unlocked and steal a cookie and write a note saying "lock your doors"

sounds good

steal their dog*

>being this upset
hi dane

>feed their dog and water their plants

That'll rattle their cages

>file their taxes
That will show those cunts

>circumcise their children
get fucked lmao

>not using the dakolohs bar exploit to complete your heavy and fists of steel contracts
lmaoing @ your life right now

mean fucking dudes

Heh, nothin' personnel goy

>clean their gutters and mow their lawns
Fags need to learn one way or another am I right?

>turn off the lights they left on

I'm a high functioning sociopath

What are the most "Pimp" cosmetics Pyro has nowadays?

I kinda want to make a Pimp Pyro SOLELY for slapping Snipers and Spies

Cute Suit
Head Prize
Pop-Eyes

Flamboyant Flamenco
Exercizor

It was clever to start with, now its just generic
The real furry loadout is vibris old rabbit pyro anyway

>play demo
>entire team is pyro
>they all just spam M2 when they see me despite me not even shooting anything

Name a better weapon. You literally can't.

every single autistic pyro gets frustrated 2 seconds after someone doesn't instantly shoot at them

Can you make this useful /tf2g/?

Can you make the shared Medibeam damage useful?

Stock

>reduced knockback
>a downside
There we go.

>didn't play TF2 in ages
>come back with the update
>try Pyro
>Shotgun doesn't deal mini critical hits on burning targets any more
>Axtinguisher doesn't deal mini critical hits on burning targets any more, only mini critical hits

Is my strange Degreaser useless now?

Enjoy that inconsistent pill trajectory.

>>Shotgun doesn't deal mini critical hits on burning targets any more
It never did.
>>Axtinguisher doesn't deal mini critical hits on burning targets any more, only mini critical hits
It has been changed a lot and at the moment it deals critical hits, not mini-crits.
>Is my strange Degreaser useless now?
It always was.

w-what?

>Axtinguisher doesn't deal mini critical hits on burning targets any more, only mini critical hits
what did he mean by this

Ali Baba's Wee Booties.

Cotton head hat + cute suit

>Is my strange degreaser useless now
no it went up in price by a fuckton

How to get new pyro weapons without contracts?

What am i missing to get THE full FURY experience?

You don't.
The pyro contracts are free.

aaaaaaahh
