Necro Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Tomislav lost its fast spinup, so its stats are now silent spinup and -20% rate of fire. Picking up your own Sandvich from the ground merely returns it to you, instead of restoring HP. The Enforcer affects decloak speed instead of cloaking speed and removes the ability to see enemy HP. I am liking these balance changes. Hopefully Valve will start scaling back its recent trend of power creep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecilff2 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Picking up your own Sandvich from the ground merely returns it to you, instead of restoring HP. Sandvich nooooooo! Looks like I might finally switch to shotty. I wonder though, does it still heal other people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Sandvich nooooooo!Looks like I might finally switch to shotty. I wonder though, does it still heal other people? That's the whole point of tossing it on the ground. What else is it going to do if a Medic picks it up? The fact that a Heavy could toss it and then pick it up as a health pack basically broke the whole "you have to spend time eating it" mechanic that balanced it out.

Powerlord Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Steam Mobile is out of Beta Basically, it's an independent Steam chat app for iOS and Android. You can also see what the latest deals are on Steam (although you can do that from the web) and buy things from your Steam account. Note: They don't sell mobile games on it, just regular Windows/Mac games for your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that said, Steam Mobile's been a bit buggy on my phone. It hasn't crashed (surprise!), but it's not displaying notifications and I'm fairly sure it changes my status to "offline" whenever I swap networks. It is still quite neat having access to Steam Chat on the go, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still quite neat having access to Steam Chat on the go, though. Naw, they couldn't even if they wanted to. Having an app store inside of an app store isn't just redundant: it would also detract from sales the main marketplace could theoretically have, so they don't allow marketplace applications to appear.

ParanoidDrone Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I got the Beta, didn't realize it was out of Beta now. Interesting. Haven't used it much other than to ooh and aah over the shiny and peruse the settings a bit. Only thing I think is really missing is the ability to add people to your friend list, unless you already can and I missed it. EDIT: On an unrelated note, I have determined that my connection woes are the fault of either our router or our ISP. I'm guessing it's the ISP since we had a major snowstorm a couple of weeks ago. That said, the problems started shortly before the snow came in and it's been two weeks since, so idklolbffjill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidDrone Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Huh, the strange Dead Ringer sounds fun. Not sure I care enough to hunt one down though. Also my roommate noticed our modem was pretty hot to the touch last night, so he unplugged both it and the router for the last 24 hours. My ping is now quite serviceable and nonrandom, although I did experience an unexpected disconnect once tonight. PROGRESS! If all else fails he's looking into getting a new modem altogether, but IDK if/when that'll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 If you need a backup/sub player for the Highlander thing, I'd be interested in giving it a shot. I'm kind of a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to classes, though I'm probably most decent at Hoovy/Medic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 On a completely unrelated note goddamn at least I never have to worry about browbeating OCR into not stacking useless classes. If I never see another team with 3 Snipers/Spies again it'll be too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing around pub servers the other day, I landed on one with 3 snipers and 2 spies on my team, and the other team couldn't get anywhere. Anyone who got past the two spies was immediately headshotted before they could even cough on the cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyrai Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Okay running through 5 seperate accounts worth of idle time, only one crate between them all, and it's a series 37. Did they change the drop rate or something? NEED MAH 38s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoopyFrood Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I am sorry, I try new classes(like sniper for example) every now and again and most of the time I'm not any use to the team. So if you guys want me to stay as pyro/medic whilst on the server, just let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
