[Duke 2.0]

 I know there is an alternate spy menu where you only need to use three buttons, so that is alright. And I don't really have the tools to verify this video. However, From what I assume is relatively accurate assessments of the damage values and DPS, there does appear to be something fishy about the flamethrower now.

Seems very fake. That pyro must have been damaged beforehand. The shots dealt 58+58+58 damage. This equals 174. Pyros have 175 HP.

Still pretty broken, I'll admit, but the pyro WOULD win that fight (albeight, very, very, severly wounded). Unless I'm missing something, which I probably am.

Wait, I was wondering what the text about "Crit-a-Cola" was in the update notes. Apparently it's another new weapon. 

It's an alternative soda that makes the scout deal mini-crits for 6 seconds but also take mini-crit damage from everything else in that time. Interesting, I wish I had one to test.

I saw that, kind-of a stealth update.

I like the idea, but I'll always forget to use it.

If you could coordinate it, an ambush uber+critcola would be pretty devastating.

The pyro is dead. Long live the heavy.

Goddamn the pyro's regular flamethrower is weak. I still don't understand why they nerfed it.

You are too good for them Sir Umiman!

Screw good. I can't even defeat you half the time. xD

Currently in the process of sorting out the servers sourcemod.

Also, pyro's main weapon sucks anus now.

Edit: decided it would be faster to reinstall it instead; can people suggest some _good_ sourcemod plugins to install?

Natascha does ok... It helps if your enemies are standing still.

But the pyro... Really, I'm taking time with killing spies. SPIES!?! I want to run past a spy and kill him while not even having to slow down! What's all this "no you have to take along time to kill it"? Also, I just typed "past a spy" and pastaspy is funny to say ten time in a row, for no reason other than that it's funny.

I think Valve has definite math problems.

Remember the Direct Hit that dealt +50% damage when it said it dealt +25% damage when it was first released?

Does it seem to anyone else that Natascha does WAY LESS than 25% less damage than the normal minigun?

I like Valve, but their numbers tend not to add up, it seems.

I think the Natascha does half damage? I normally see 10 damage per hit with Sasha but with Natascha it's about 5. When Natascha has crits, it's almost unnoticable. Still excellent against fast movers though and I don't really have a problem with it.

I thought they fixed Natasha's damage problem?

Yesterday me playing pyro was downright useless.  I start burning stuff and they refuse to die.  My flamethrower is sitting on a target for a good 2 seconds and it does nothing but get their attention.  So they can turn around and shoot me.  I even tried ambushing folks like I used to back when I used the backburner, nothing. I can maybe axestinguish one of them to death.  Used to be a good ambush could take out 3 or 4 guys, or failing that do significant damage.  You should have to be aware when going around corners.  Now a pyro in ideal circumstances can't compete with anything.

It doesn't feel like they nerfed the flamer by 25%  It feels more like they nerfed the flamer DOWN TO 25%.  Successfully circle strafe a heavy for 2 whole revolutions before he finally gets me, flamer on him the whole time, before that was plenty to kill a lone heavy, now it takes them down to about 50% health if that.  I'm actually thinking somebody at valve messed something up inputting numbers, that's really does not feel like a 25% nerf.

The pyro has gone from being a decent class that could only effectively get a few kills in close range to a class that MIGHT kill a medic or spy at close range.  And even a spy has a good chance of magically warping behind you and backstabbing you unless you have a ping of less than 30.

It seems like now if you want to accomplish anything with a pyro you are forced to use the damn backburner.
