Don't listen to the old folks who have been playing FPS games since doom, they clearly wouldn't know when something isn't overpowered.

Now, if I hear any fucking whining over the backburner after this update I am just going to go ballistic over the mic.
Re: Backburner FIXED! Health bonus removed. - El_Fajitas - 07-29-2008
I think the rules state you can go ballistic if that does happen.
Re: Backburner FIXED! Health bonus removed. - A. Crow - 07-29-2008
meh, I'm willing to accept this. Caff was even douche good enough to message me directly to tell me about it shortly after the patch landed, interrupting Chrono Trigger.
No. More. Bitching.

what the should have done to compensate is make the bb have a little more range on the ft to give it an edge over the ab

It's hard to hit at max range as it is when people dodge about, a little more range wont really help anything. I'm sure if the BB isn't "good enough" now valve will see it via play-testing or player feedback and adjust it.

You don't think crit backs are enough? Bb gets the drop on a normal pyro and there's not much they can do, besides air blast and run from the incoming shotgun fire...

The problem is that people fire the flames on the BB too soon and thus the falloff is what crits, so maybe you are doing 15 damage a hit instead of 35. Wait until the nozzle is practically shoved up someone's ass before firing.

I'm pretty sure the flamethrower doesn't suffer falloff on crits. I just loaded up the pyro achievement map, spawned a heavy bot, and BB'd it from near the tail end of the flame, and point blank... seemed to die in the same amount of time (faster then I ever can in a real game, grrr).
The real issue with not waiting is that it's easier to evade (accidental evasion ot otherwise) the flames from further away, not that they do less actual damage. Not that it's an issue that needs fixing or anything.

The best thing about this is that we'll have less QQing even when I use the normal flamer. (which I have used most of the time lately anyway)
Anyway, is this really sticky worthy, in like a week this thread won't be relevant anymore...
