God, people have gotten even more unbelievably hat-centric than before. Some guy was losing his shit to trade me stuff when I found some random hat.

Day two is posted, and the demo part of it just straight out annoys me. Fuck balance in the ass by the looks of it.

The scout part looks absolutely fucked. Triple jump now? Really?

The new shield makes you take more damage than the old shield, the sword prevents you from picking up any ammo for your guns which means after a short time you'll be severely handicapped (meaning people won't use it outside of Demoknight situations), and the boots replace the Grenade Launcher. If you equip all 3 you have no weapon except a sword, and you die faster than a normal Demoknight due to taking more damage from explosives and fire.

At first glance they all look horribly OP due to the lack of expressly stated downsides, but there are definitely big downsides.

I think it's interesting how the weapons will work when combined with all the others.

As for the Scout pack, I don't know what to think really. Is that literally the same as the FaN aside from the built in crit-a-cola and lack of normal crits? Why not just use the FaN and Crit-a-Cola? Edit: Duh it deals no knockback.

Also, what does 'Third jump deals 10 damage' mean? I assumed it meant the Scout would take the damage himself as a penalty for the third jump, but it's written in blue not red.

all of these weapon upgrades are gay and i'll buy you a game of your choice if you can justify to me how any single new item (ever) is better than the stock-default options.

go -->

Non-serious part of my post:

https://mirror.pointysoftware.net/tf2items/items-medic/c_bonesaw.png

Bonesaw. Standard melee weapon.

https://mirror.pointysoftware.net/tf2items/items-medic/c_amputator.png

Amputator. Identical to Bonesaw except with a field-of-effect healing taunt.

Serious part of my post:
I'm not going to argue because they're not. Whenever people say they're too daunted to play after they've not played for a while I tell them that they're better off with the stock weapons most of the time.

And I wasn't justifying them I was pointing out that despite at first glance looking overpowered they have downsides. I wasn't saying they're awesome. I was just discussing the new stuff they've added.

Uzique whenever you talk about how the game is ruined these days I never say you're wrong. I never say you're stupid or say you're grumpy etc. I never even go on about how I think the new stuff is super awesome best ever. I'm just talking about it because it's there and is being added, and I thought I'd discuss the new items in a thread dedicated to the new items.

Personally I think it'll be fun to try them out, but not having the GL is too much of a downside to use the boots, and not being able to re-fill it's ammo is too much of a downside to use the sword.

yeah the bonesaw/amputator thing sorta defeats that... sure you can argue that the amputator's effect is trivial, but it's stats are exactly the same, and there's only an upside to the amputator

inb4 the weapon model is ghey (it sort of is, )
