The only positive from this is that two wrongs have accidentally made a right.

1st Wrong: You drop uber% on death.
2nd Wrong: You can't change weapons except in a clumsy retarded way.

The Right: it's actually quite hard to take two mediguns with you over any distance. This means that to use 2 ubers you have to use the first one in, trade ubers, then retreat back to your other medigun and use in again. It's perfectly viable and actually might prevent this snowballing we're talking about, but in some situations it means it's better to stalemate and build 2 ubers instead of pushing with a small advantage on 1 uber. What a time to be alive.

It just makes milking the uber or holding during a force a really bad move. One wrong step and your team has lost the round, not just a cp or two.

You can argue that this raises the skill ceiling but in actuality all it does is make medics more likely to bitch pop. Makes roamers' lives easier, makes medic less fun and interesting, and makes countering a sniper much harder.

Just tried it, it is fixed but you seem to be able to go a little bit further...it's still very possible to fail that jump, but now you only need a good crouch jump to get there instead of a perfect one. You never actually needed a ctap for it, only a really good crouch jump.

Oh and sticky falloff is still broken.

Yeah we just tested it, it's now broken. It was good before! But now it's fucked. Dropping uber now gives the enemy team a full uber to push with, and if you kill a med kritzing then it'll drop whatever they have left. And if you dry push with uber disadvantage and win, you have a tonne more uber. And if you kill the med at mid you have a 60% uber and your own too.

Halftime is a great feature imo, I really like it, but it does rely on a plugin. In the 2nd half there's no way built into the game of setting the winlimits properly.

I think there are plans for a bigger, better tournament which imo would be the perfect "introduction" to Razer Arena for TF2. If we casted this 8 man practice tournament I think it takes some of the hype out of the bigger tournament with real good teams and competition. We should let this be a test for the system and how everything works, iron out bugs and give feedback, and prepare for a sick cup later on which will be the beginning of TF2 Razer Arena for real. My 2c.

I think we should be moving towards united rules and whitelists, but people will be very reluctant to change. There are merits to both ways of running the rules, personally I think EU is better because it's better for scheduling and provides tense time-based moments towards the end of close games but equally there are problems (dead time at the end of maps for a few minutes, no half-time, potential for stalemates - though that doesn't happen in practice).

we made a pug team and signed up GET HYPE

It's an awesome update but as usual they did it VALVE STYLE and broke everything. As soon as they fix all the stuff they broke this will be an excellent change to the game.

yeah this is totally stupid - and you can't drop/pickup gunboats and other passive weapons, or conch for some reason

they also broke sticky falloff again - sticky launcher sniping does insane damage now

EDIT: and the radius is back to being huge again wtf

they broke jumping - small jumps make you go really far

naw it's AMS, but I think he got me spot on

wasn't actually me, raja asked alle and AMS to get some footage of owning with the loch and load

and they thought it'd be funny to make me seem like a shitter to the pub audience

much appreciated guys
