Idea [Class change] Pyro

Hi,

how do you think should people defend against soldier/elf without instakill? They would be unstopable with their fly abilitys. Pyro should keep the instakill aspect and maybe have a cooldown on the bow or something..

Nice idea, but I think this would make the game too easy for soldier with its limitless flight spam..
There would be no way to defend on very open maps.

 

I don't think all classes will need rework.

Have you ever played in the match ? Dwarf is usually not allowed to play, so pyro is main defender, and it's hard to def when there is organised group of attackers and you don't always have medic near you.

I'm not sure if it's good rework for pyro.
PS: Sorry if i wrote something wrong cuz I'm Polish

 

I like it however maybe not insta killed by elf just more damage like chemist pots

 

Can I ask why it takes more damage from chemist pots?

 

Understood

 

Hello, I have been playing on your CTF server for around 4/5 years now and it has been great. Although I miss many of the old maps, that is aside of my frusteration. Around 3 years ago I purchased the Pyro. It was a super fun class and it may have been a little bit over-powered then. Today, no one on any CTF server chooses the Pyro class because you would have more fun playing as a medic or archer due to the major nerf on the class. In order to kill, just one player, one must hold the bow back for what seems like ages to get an explosive bullet, then hit the person 5 times with the axe while they regenerate their health with steak. By then you are surrounded and don't have time to pull your bow back to relight the enemy on fire. For the frenzy mode, it is far too completed and no one can even get in the groove of properly ustilizing the perk due to the inablility to even get a positive ratio. On the battle grounds, there is no situation where you can sucessfully attemp a 1v1, or enter into the offense, and the only other thing is to maybe play defense, and it ends up only being an assisted kill. I normally find myself going 1-18 with no ability to ever play CTF or obtain kills. I would really like to see something done to the class to improve, simply by simplizing it! Either bring back insta-kill or take away the full-pull back arrow contraption. On top of having no sparring ability, you have the weakest armor in the game plus a wasteful flint and steal that has literally no purpose! The game has lost one of its best classes and I see multiple people agreeing that the Pyro is just an overall awful class now. I can't believe I wrote all this is frusteration, but it has driven me to this point. Everyone would love to see the orginal over powered class that it started out as, and with all your new players, a lot more profit could be made by selling that class. BRING BACK THE PYRO that encouraged me to buy the class.

 

If you would like I could send you a video were I play pyro in a match while I like almost never play pyro, and still didn't do a bad job.
