Re: Updates of the Week (ongoing discussion) - Grimthwacker - 06-28-2012

I haven't been able to play yet, but from the stuff I've seen elsewhere Pyrovision is the most disturbing thing (quite possibly most hilarious?  I've yet to decide).  It certainly puts a more. . . interesting skew on the character.  Is it on by default while playing Pyro now?  Or do you need to have the Goggles equipped as an item?

Also, what the hell at the new "balances" - Tomislav has been completely defanged, Backburner seems kinda pointless without the extra damage boost it usually had, and the GRU sounds like a death sentence now.

What is it exactly? Just an axe, or axtinguisher?

That was my first thought. The people with the 2 bud profit... They must be as happy as the burnt diary people are pissed.

Diary (and capacitor) didn't get burned.  It's now called the "fireproof secret diary" so it might even be MORE valuable now.

In other news, I just assisted my Brainslug Herbert in a kill while derping around in training.

tf2 crashes forever now so I haven't played yet.

Also: Tomislav is now completely useless.  It is now another Brass Beast.

The Pyrovision googles doesn't change the world textures or give the border for me. I wonder if it's because I'm running it on dx8 instead of dx9.

Saw something like that on the steam fourms that other dx8 peeps can't see pyroland.

AFAIK you need to have the new flamethrower too to see complete Pyroland. Otherwise they just change voices, particles and killcam sounds

It's limited to certain maps. I've only seen it on Badwater. Probably a couple other stocks that have it (I imagine 2fort is one. Maybe the new Doomsday map, too?)

[Edit]: Looks like there's a cfg file edit you can make that lets you add maps, though they might come out buggy:

New scout gun: Surprisingly fun. I've been having a blast going fast and panning the shit outta people.

Playing in pyrovision hurts my eyes.

I can't do it for too long either.  A funny idea, but I did my achievements with them and probably won't use them again lol


Re: Updates of the Week (ongoing discussion) - Reevesith - 06-30-2012

"When a player equipped with the item kills an enemy unassisted by another player in Pyroland, the killfeed shows the Teddy Roosebelt getting the assist."

Didn't see that before.

My Alien Swarm Parasite hat was picking up the assists for my Demoman last night.

If you're running any kind of max fps/competitive config in dx8 you're not going to be able to see any of the texture changes or the border.
