I can't figure out why replays always show the player glows either. I turned off the advanced option for outlines after spawning but that didn't do jack.
I actually loaded up hammer this week too. But I was just futzing around.
Let us know if you have any updates to the map, I know we found a couple/three of things last night that were off.

Still would rather the plank standing up on A wasn't there; unless it's specifically there to like break a sightline it's way too easy to get caught up on it while rushing the point, and then you're a sitting duck and just die.
Yeah the pallet should probably be deleted. I think it was there originally as a way for people to jump up onto the barrels behind the point, but that may not be relevant anymore.
The snow box on A needs to be moved down one unit as well, when you look at it from the side it's hovering oddly over the caution tape. It might make sense to delete the caution tape func_brush that's there and redo it so it's flush with the concrete.
Some lighting glitches have shown up, the door frame on blu's right exit on their first spawn area has a pitch black texture. And the little room outside red's back exit needs some kind of fill light in there, it looks weird in there. That little room where there used to be a box of dynamite prop.

I feel 50 health with potential overheal seems reasonable
hell keep the health and lower it to minicrits, I would much prefer pyros with a method of healing/escaping engagements rather than a super crazy kill tool
The way I remember it, Crash is more of "let's pack as many props into this fucker as I can."
I'm the one that deletes everything!

Phlog nerf is rough. Pyros are usually at very low health when they get the phlog ready to go, going to be pretty easy to just back up and blow them up before they get in range now. Unless they manage to charge it, get away and get health, and then come back to use it.
Still a good distraction/medic buddy target but to situational for my taste. Back to the stock flamethrower I go.

And yeah, I totally ran through it and made the mapper super sad picking apart all the extra things he didn't need. (suck it, @xzzy) He said he was going to have to make some tough cuts for this.

I can't see a phlog pyro beating a Soldier now...
Without healing or being able to mitigate damage (airblast), you're just losing too much health while closing the distance.
Unless you flank him, with your zero options for advanced movement.
Maybe they're expecting Pyros to charge the phlog with the flare guns and then hide around corners to try and catch a group of people in MMPH?
But they also increased the MMPH bar..

why should the phlog be as good as an airblast-having flamethrower against soldiers in the first place, shouldn't there be some tradeoff for getting your own built in kritzkreig uber?

It shouldn't, no.
Buuuuut it also probably shouldn't make it so one good soldier can completely shut you down or reduce you to flare pokes either.
All these phlog changes just baffle me. It was fine, if kinda dumb, the way it was.

I played pyro for the first time in a while last HonC (some backburner and some degreaser) and it still felt fine, tbh
airblast is still really the only way around solly's bullshit atm

Because Soldiers are the good-all-arounders of TF2. If you can't beat them in some scenario, then you are not good at or for anything by definition.

You mean like a leafblower can reduce the soldier to shotgun spam?

It is way harder to accurately time and aim air-blasts consistently than to shoot rockets at dudes.

how about we flat cut the damage of the rocket launcher and sticky launcher by 50%
they'll still probably be the best classes, because heavies can still be grenaded to death
stickies are already pretty nerfed, I feel like they are in a good place now where it's not worth airbursting them over using the pipe launcher, while still being good as a trap.

wait they got renerfed again? What happened after they reverted the takes-extra-time-to-prime-to-full-damage change a few months back?
Damage resistance on the bodies(not head) of the three of them to equal around 50 more life
Super devastating weapons that either take a while to set up but have a continuous stream, or can unload immediately but limited clips and long reloads require tactical backing up/shotgun use to finish things up. Additional health because the game is far more lethal nowadays than it was a few years back and even heavies just evaporate in front of most classes

I taunted after capping :rotate:
This is a short video of me hitting something:
This is a really long video of me not hitting much of anything:
This is a medium length video of me hitting many things and then laughing and then Crash kills me:
Replays are fun.
Has something to do with the game not loading the weapon model, and since the weapon model is his hands, stump arms.
Also jukebox, the person who created the moonshiner rig props on moonshine_event, is working on the dinosaur bone props for this map:

Yeah, it got reverted after like 2 weeks because of 6s players moaning about it.
I assume he might want to talk about it himself, but the latter has a new alpha map that's uploaded that he's interested in seeing played. pl_geiser.
