My verdict: fun but buggy. Played through the first wave of mannhatton, it's a lot of new MvM stuff. Medic is really rewarding and fun now. However, couldn't get the shield to work, and upgrades are wonky.

All shields. Is legit strat

Alright, final version.       Went through and cleaned up the geometry, sealed up a bunch of holes, and corrected a few textures. And got the poly under 6000. This version has been getting positive reactions all around, so I've gone ahead and submitted it. We shall see...

Alright, ran the numbers.     So, the homewrecker does 130 damage to buildings at point blank range. It has an attack interval of .8 seconds.   The flamethrower does 6.82 damage per particle at close range, 4.09 at far range (edge or approaching the sentry.). It has an attack interval of .04.    A mini-sentry at full health has 100 HP.       It takes .8 seconds to deal 130 damage with a homewrecker, destroying the sentry immediately. It takes ~20 particles to deal the same damage with the flamethrower at close range, 14 to do 100 damage. That means it takes .8 seconds to deal the same damage as the homewrecker, .5 to kill the sentry. HOWEVER, that is requiring that all particles connect, and the damage is maintained in close range.      So yes, on paper, the flamethrower is more effective in an optimal environment.  But in a multiplayer game, there is the requirement of lag compensation, making sure ALL particles hit the sentry, and that you can maintain that distance.   I prefer the burst damage that the homewrecker provides, if you start the swing before you reach the sentry, it does kill it quicker. There's the numbers, there's my opinion. Do with it what you will.

Similar, but edited. I'm going to have to take a look at them.     Another idea I was tossing around in my head was having a list of "sponsored" servers, where people can be sure that replays will be enabled. Obviously the selection would be manual, and I/a team of people would have to visit the server before adding it to the list and make sure it is free of spam, bots, hacks, ect. Is that worth the effort or no?

I wouldn't ignore this, sounds like some sort of virus.

This. Or run another scan. Possibly another with a different AV.

Except that ad hominem means there is no correlation. I do admit that uninformed or unskilled would have been better words. And I will run the numbers on damage when I get to a computer.

I mean pyros with map awareness that don't run straight at them. There are very few placements that have no cover leading up to them.

Tf2 in general. Reddit, facepunch, etc. 

     

I'd also like to point out that the homewrecker is a thing so it does not shut down intelligent pyros.    Aside from that, I do think that it is balanced. If anything it could use a range reduction or knock back reduction, just because it is a smaller gun. 

  So the knob on the side lets you adjust it forwards and backwards, which makes sense to fit different heads. But there's a piece of duct tape or metal plate or something between the visor and helmet rendering it immovable?   And there's a random armor plate strapped to the top of your helmet. Seriously, a random piece of armor strapped to the top of your armored helmet. Is it covering the sunroof or something? And if it's welded on, what are the purposes of the straps? Makes no sense.   /criticism   Otherwise it's shaping up nicely. I look forward to wearing the final product when gets in.   1) The metal thing is a stopper. So you cant move it any more forward. 2) Toche. I guess it's supposed to be adjustable or something.

  Added some more details, I really like how it looks.

I... I can totally afford that. Yes. Very much...

    Kunai and homewrecker confirmed.    Frsrs?

I... bought mine on the market... It was a really good deal though.

So I think my favorite hero from this patch is earth spirit. Pretty sure he's the most fun hero overal. Probably very easy to mess up, but with practice, I can see myself playing him quite a bit.

  Wait what. That's how it works? You just submit a rough draft and they say what to change and you have to do that? I thought you at least had a say in the creative process up to the completion of the product.   Well anyways, if you really have to go without a visor, can you at least brush up on the tops and sides? It seems extremely bland with lots of blank space.   Not exactly. Its more of "if they don't like what you make, it doesn't get in, so you better make the changes they tell you."   And yes, that is where I need to add detail.
