Re: OMG - Surf314 - 12-12-2008

The update will force demos to get skills using the normal nades again instead of relying on stickies for everything.

You could always just shoot them out of the way. 

In a corridor, nope, if you stuck 8 of them in a tight hallway you are fucked, you can knock them down the hall as you advance but the blast radius is such that you are going to get hit no matter what.

Any decently designed map will have more than one route to anywhere important, ubers can easily get past stickies, and if the demoman isn't around you can just walk over them.  If he is around then shoot him.

Do you expect people to just turn around and walk across the map to the other tunnel, yea, thats smart, and gives the demo the power to completely close off a choke point.

I think you paint too simple of a picture.

Re: OMG - Honest - 12-12-2008

I've got to try this later today, but as far as I'm concerned right now this doesn't nerf anything not worth nerfing and we're all throwing a world class hissy for nothing.

Unless stickies are easily shot away during an uber, I'm perfectly ok with this fix. Someone enlighten me on whether or not he can still wreck sentries.

Re: OMG - Vongore - 12-12-2008

also, Dispensers are as weak as ever, so with just some good placed Stickies you can blow the Dispenser and the Engie to take out the Sentry later.

Also, does everyone have been noticying the increase on lvl 1 sentries all over the place because most engiers are way too busy upgrading their Dispensers and Teleporters?

Re: OMG - Surf314 - 12-12-2008

Secret engy nerf!

Re: OMG - copulatingduck - 12-12-2008

Nothing's changed at all, though I do see a lot of retard showing in this thread. Demo got a much needed nerf (though not the same one everyone cries about). Being able to spam stickies, completely locking down a thoroughfare and guaranteeing either a completely wasted uber or at least 1 kill is something absolutely no other class had. This takes just a little but of that away. (For the record, this is why Demo's ALWAYS won RPS matches... spamming stickies on the ground guarantees kills, especially in ridiculous quantities)

edit: was gonna say a lot more, but it's too late, I'm too tired, and some people are just too dumb to talk to. My only complaint to come out of the update is the fact that SWEET JESUS 12 ENGIES ON DUSTBOWL AND GRAVELPIT DEFENSE, REALLY?

The update is making the engineers more stupid is what he said (actually, the stupid ones are more stupid, the update buffs the other engies).

Tssssss

3rd level Dispencer makes quite a difference.

ALSO
A spy stays cloaked FOREVER near a dispenser now.

He *could* stay cloaked forever, but the healing trail shows as well as a small glow. Honestly, if you can manage to pull it off, the other team should just kill themselves, they are that bad.

Re: OMG - [fr31ns]Karrde - 12-12-2008

I've got some sad news to share about this update.  I think we can all agree that this is absolutely game breaking and was probably directly targeted at brbu.  The "explode" command no longer works.  No more rocket jumping and jibbing myself in a bloody rain at the end of the round.  You just die.  So at least I can still fall down the stairs Tongue  But seriously, did they really need to remove the command that badly Tongue

Manage to cloak near a lvl3 dispenser and you'll regenerate your cloak.
Manage to disguise near a dispenser, and you'll regenerate your cloak really fast.

Therefore, engineer leaving a dispenser alone means a happy spy!

Re: OMG - [fr31ns]Karrde - 12-12-2008

Of course this spy buff is still prolly gonna leave me a terrible spy Tongue

I just went to check and you are right, I was misinformed and took lots of pictures to prove that guy wrong.

It just makes the spy obvious as hell.

Re: OMG - chronomaster - 12-12-2008

Next Demo nerf: Pipes won't explode on contact after the zeroth bounce. :V

But seriously, I'm cool with stickies being destructible, just not after ONE FUCKING BULLET. If they're in a tight corridor, it shouldn't take two shotgun shots to knock them down in 3 seconds.

It's called a chokepoint for a reason. It should deter and slow you down when properly defended, even with threats.


The Lv3 Dispenser/Sentry combo is even more of a cockpunch to the Demoman. Engis can shoot the stickies faster than Demos can lay them.
