CTF Holiday Update

With that attitude,


we won't miss you.

Meaning you...

 

Ok, I definetely will

You are?

 

They actually take up a little over half?

 

Imma try playing this a bunch before I make any judgements, but so far I like the soldier and chemist ^-^

Ty for update, nom

 

I'm going to run under the assumption that you were asking me who I am. I'm a faithful player of CTF. I've been playing for over 2 and a half years. I also happen to be slightly more intelligent than you, or does judging an update before playing it or thinking about it hard enough to use more than 100 brain cells not count against intelligence.

 

I agree that Pyro may need a buff in regards to it's longevity, but at the same time if we're considering a case of multiple offenders we should consider a case of multiple defenders. I think this hurts Pyro soloing defense the most, which isnt bad at all. The metagame will most likely adapt and instead of consisting of camping pyros will consist of roaming Pyros which aim to get Frenzy to finish any offenders off quickly whilst seeking help from defense, which is a much better experience overall than sitting and waiting.

 

lol u made me laugh with that one. When you assume you are more intelligent than someone, you will always be wrong

 

After a long awaited class rework, ctf players are still managing to be butthurt. Amazing.

 

Funny thing about that rule, there was a post script! and I think it had your name in it.

 

I actually just did. Soldier is better (especially from assassins point of view). Chemist is also better in terms of potspam though. Pyro I think still needs a little work though.

 

I agree that seeing defensive meta shift towards midfield would be interesting, but I still think there should be a class that can take out high health pool classes in the flagroom more easily. Chemist can outrun a pyro at mid, so they can essentially ignore them, and soldier can still fly away (on most maps, anyway), meaning midfield pyro is really only effective against heavy. I feel like mage does all of that much better.

But one thing I haven't considered is the possibility of pyro limits being lifted from matches. If 2 pyros are allowed in one match (or even more) I think this might be manageable, though I still think a better job could be done.

Sure, updates are long-awaited but good changes, like Elf, didn't receive poor feedback at all. The issue is not the fact that changes are being made but the fact that the changes being made have a pretty high chance of breaking defence and having matches stalemate with 2 soldiers all the time. Which isn't a good thing, btw.

 

Still no necro....

 

@NomNuggetNom ppl r getting glitch w pyro where they only have bow and axe in their hotbar.

 

I have a question about the chemist and soldier reworks. If a medic restores their items, does this mean that the xp bar also get refilled?

 

So true...
Except Pyro's inventory, and Chemist's Regeneration I. Nom says he will fix it in a bit, but other than that, I feel actually okay about this.

Pyro has me excited, cause burst damage can be as good as instakill, except it would be more fun.
Chemist I don't mind because from what I've seen I'm one of the only supportive Chemists?
Soldier I care nothing for, but I believe seven climbs will get you a little more than halfway up the tower on Clocktower, and they'll regen and give you maybe three more besides, so it doesn't really matter; soldiers will just not be able to panic right click anymore.

 

What I've basically been saying in all the skype chats to le ppl who are freaking out.

I like the new reworks tbh. You have a chance to survive against pyro, chemists cant spam damage + health reduction, soldiers cant wallspam as much

I do wish mage had something more tho, its still just qq
