Typical. First everyone cries “OH noes weapons are tied to achievements thats gay, fix it valve plixplox”. Now they made another system and yet again everyones bitching around.
At least this way you dont get all weapons in 1 hour so you can actually be happy with the ones you get.
Of course everyone is going to bitch. This system is even more flawed than the later ! I would be happy if I actually got fuck all.
Yes I know lets release an update for the classes but dont actually let them use most of the update.
hmmmm … I smell bullshit ?
my apologies if this post seems like im having a go at you. I am not. I am just arguing my point.
Errh… Why should we ban all of the items, when it’s just jarate that’s completely ridiculous? Besides anything that changes the 2 scouts, 2 solis, demoman and a medic line-up is a good thing.
the problem is valve keeps trying to change the game that little bit. Its difficult to play it as it is when its a different game for everyone. Why shout person A have unlock 1 and person B have no unlocks ? while Person C has unlocks 1 2 and 3…..
in reply to Rake. the huntsman bow is pretty decent and the abassador can 1 hit kill scouts I believe ? if one team has this and the other doesnt how is that fair ?
Yes indeed, FaN and Bonk! for example are such huge gamebreakers. Most of the unlocks are just something you COULD use. For example the bow; from what I’ve seen as I don’t have it myself is that it deals similar damage, but the arrows are projectiles that fly in an arc making them harder to aim + headshoting at range is near impossible. On the other hand close-range headshots are easier.
Huntsman is balanced, personally. It will never be as effective as the regular sniper rifle, it’s crap at long range but can be a surprisingly effective in close/mid range. No need to ban it, just yet. Let’s see how it play out.
Razorback, no need to ban because tbh it’s useless anyway haha
Jarate, I haven’t gotten yet but for now it should be banned, especially since your screen turns completely white in dx8
The spy stuff sounds kinda silly but I haven’t played with any if it yet… ambassador is damn powerful though
so why allow them ? clearly it could give one team an advantage ? I mean sure its all hypothetical but still ?
Its just funny how much people get the same Weapon all the time.. in Mumble a guy had 2 Ambassadors, the other 3 sandmans in total, and i have 2 Razorbacks. there has to be something wrong :(
and imo, i think this System is a bit of Fail. I see why they did it that way, but Valve failed a bit in the result. There can any Idiot just play 5minutes and get a shit, while other have to play for hours, and get weapons they already have. Little Edit, like a timezone you award a weapon, would help, like from 10mins to 3 hours or something.
Just allow medic/pyro/heavy unlockables in officials/pcw’s, ban all the rest :s
Stop this ridiculous reactionism.
All the new unlocks are good, useful, and above all INTERESTING sidegrades (apart from the Razorback). Huntsman is damn cool, and changes the playstyle of the sniper into something more like the scout (although at slightly longer ranges). Jarate is also cool (apart from the screen whiteout thing).
Ambassador currently is bugged, headshots do something like 50hp (so you need 3 headshots to kill a scout :<), and the new cloaks are also interesting (but pub fodder).
tl;dr: ban them for now, until everyone has them.
How is the sniper like the scout with the hunstman? He is slow (so can’t compensate for low health) and he doesn’t have the double jump, both of which are the main features of the scout and why the class is useful.
Someone needs to set up a 32 slot server with a massive timelimit so people can just join it and sit in it over night :P
Ambassador kicks arse, but is ridiculous

“As in everything else we do, we want to iterate, so this is really the first step towards our desired implementation. We also think we have bugs in the system as well, since we’re seeing some players not finding any items after a few hours of play, which is not at all how it’s tuned. We want unlockable drops to be a pretty regular occurrence for players, with the cosmetic hats being the rare finds.”
thank you for this. Lets hope its fixed soon.

You don’t fix things by making them even worse.
