12:24 AM - Doctor Scootaloo: is enough
12:24 AM - Doctor Scootaloo: So see?
12:24 AM - Doctor Scootaloo: The cleaver is OP on ZF
12:24 AM - h_twenty: Yes
12:25 AM - Doctor Scootaloo: So we get 90 damage
12:25 AM - Doctor Scootaloo: and apply it to 125
------------------------------------------------------------------
And from my point of view
------------------------------------------------------------------
The cleaver apparently scales with perks. This means that its damage is going to be buffed more than it should be. >>>HUNTER<<<.
Oh and Voidy also said it IS NOT (not like that though) ignored by perks. Its included and scaled.

PIC UNRELATED!

My math is a bit off, but that seems about right.

Just Humor me here and lets say that the victim has been stunned with the bat and is rendered immobile.
Cleavers can pretty much One-Shot all survivor classes. And if they live, bleed damage willl finish them off.

Cleavers on stunned targets pretty much oneshot people in TF2 in general.

Two options here:
  - Complain to valve.
  - Dodge the baseball.

Post by: h_twenty on July 16, 2013, 11:38:08 pm
Can the cleaver be removed? And the Holiday Punch be re-added in it's place?
Title: Re: Opt for Cleaver nerf (im srs nao)
Post by: Lunacy on July 17, 2013, 01:02:02 am
Cleaver doesn't crit, that's been balanced, but still does deal quite an ammount of damage.
And holiday punch still works as it normally does, last I was on the server. :T
Title: Re: Opt for Cleaver nerf (im srs nao)
Post by: h_twenty on July 17, 2013, 01:25:58 am
As far as I know, the Holiday Punch got the boot. If Ticklish mittens had to go, WHY DIDN'T THE FLYING MEAT BLADE? D:<

Post by: h_twenty on July 17, 2013, 04:23:06 pm
OH LOOKS LIKE THE POLL IS FINISHED. HALF OF THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED THINK ITS OP AND DESERVES A NICE BIG BOOT TO THE ASS.
Title: Re: Opt for Cleaver nerf (im srs nao)
Post by: VoiDeD on July 17, 2013, 04:23:57 pm
And the other half thinks it's balanced or otherwise fair.
Title: Re: Opt for Cleaver nerf (im srs nao)
Post by: h_twenty on July 18, 2013, 09:22:21 pm
The other half voted for something else, not the same thing. The one which says cleaver is OP got the most votes.

Fine, if you're unwilling to remove it, can you at least cancel out the "Sandman+Cleaver" combo? Or set the regen rate for cleaver to as long as the sandman?
Title: Re: Opt for Cleaver nerf (im srs nao)
Post by: VoiDeD on July 18, 2013, 09:40:05 pm
can you at least cancel out the "Sandman+Cleaver" combo?

I'm under the impression that because of:
Cleaver doesn't crit, that's been balanced, but still does deal quite an ammount of damage.
The combo isn't that powerful anyway?

And regardless:
  - Dodge the baseball.

Coincidentally during the recent downtime we had when Valve's update broke shit, I hopped on ZF for a few rounds to make sure the game was stable. During this time a few scouts attempted using the stun/cleaver combo on me, and it wasn't very effective for them as dodging the baseball isn't exactly the world's most difficult thing if you're moving around.
Title: Re: Opt for Cleaver nerf (im srs nao)
Post by: h_twenty on July 19, 2013, 04:29:34 pm
Fine, I'll record a whole session there and skip to the parts where I get cleaver insta-d. Ok, fine, the baseball is easy to dodge, but when you get hit, you move painfully slow (fair) and get more than one cleaver chucked at you. These minicrit or crit with the baseball. Meaning it does 150 damage+bleed most of the time. That isn't very fair to the survivors at all.

Ok, next time I get on zf, I'll record when I get cleavered. THEN YOU'LL SEE THE POWER OF THE CLEAVER.

just add a script that doesn't allow the cleaver to be used with the baseball, that way people can still get the stun+cleaver if they work together. encouraging teamwork.
Title: Re: Opt for Cleaver nerf (im srs nao)
Post by: Lunacy on July 23, 2013, 02:55:53 am
It's just that I think people complain about scouts being able to kill everyone from large distances, because zombies aren't usually supposed to be able to be killing people from long distances because they're usually melee-restricted.  The guillotine with does something like 90-100 damage on a successful hit before bonus atk/def perks, and when the whole team has guillotines being thrown all around every 6 seconds it does seem like it's getting ridiculous on paper.

People just feel like it counters the nature of the zombie team, instead of going in for melee like they're supposed to, scouts can just camp from a distance and chuck cleavers every 6 seconds.

My only idea to solve this without banning the item completely is to either increase the recharge time or give it a 1 charge throw so it doesn't recharge until death.
Title: Re: Opt for Cleaver nerf (im srs nao)
Post by: h_twenty on July 24, 2013, 02:12:31 am
Agreed. Either changing the regen rate to longer or equal to that of the sandman, canceling out the Sandman+Cleaver combo, or -if needs be- banning the cleaver would be agreeable.

Hi, I'm Silver Mint, I mainly hangout on the Deathrun Hell server, and I hopped on by to play some Zombie Fortress on the Zombie Hell server.

I cannot count the times I've seen multiple scouts running the cleaver-sandman combo. I was just playing a few maps ago, and as the game started, I immediately saw 5 sandman balls and 4 cleavers.

Jesus fuck, if it's running rampant, clearly there is a hint of overpoweredness to it. I mean, why do something else if it doesn't deal fucktons of damage, like the so many cleaver-sandman combos?

Post by: BoBoBo-Bo Bo-BoBoBo on July 28, 2013, 08:08:48 pm
its not as op as u think i cause u need to move like hell and never get hit by clevers besides zombies needs something to end the round
Title: Re: Opt for Cleaver nerf (im srs nao)
Post by: Lunacy on July 29, 2013, 05:56:21 pm
It fights against the natural zombie nature of getting in and swarming the survivors.  You aren't swarming very well if the entire team is cleaver scouts, camping across the map chucking guillotines.
My only idea to solve this without banning the item completely is to either increase the recharge time or give it a 1 charge throw so it doesn't recharge until death.
I wouldn't mind such a nerf, it would be completely understandable, but I just don't want things to be completely removed.

dont nerf the clever its so fun to get kills with u see people go flying in the other direction when they get hit by the clever in one hit its so fun people do back flips and stuff
Title: Re: Opt for Cleaver nerf (im srs nao)
Post by: Lunacy on August 01, 2013, 04:01:14 am
Okay so I noticed the cleaver has it's stuncrits back. How and why?  Those are OP as hell for zombie team.  What happened to the no-critting fix?
Until them I'm going to crit everyone with my Supermurder Skyknife.
Title: Re: Opt for Cleaver nerf (im srs nao)
Post by: VoiDeD on August 01, 2013, 03:31:37 pm
Blame Valve for that one. The next TF2 update will probably fix it.

I love how
no one finds my Hunter spawn
or I put it some place unaccessable
if I get the hits, I can 1hitkill anyone who is even overhealed
Title: Re: Opt for Cleaver nerf (im srs nao)
Post by: elsoqo on August 13, 2013, 04:16:35 pm
To be fair, I usually find myself eventually killed due to some form of stun rather than by any cleaver.  Stun+Cleaver certainly helps zombies on maps like Degroot, and even with this combo survivors have been known to win just about every map I've seen played.

Post by: BoBoBo-Bo Bo-BoBoBo on August 15, 2013, 08:29:43 pm
before clever was added people said boston basher should be nerfed and clever i just did a study on does 162 on crit when it use to be 150 or its me cause i have damage thing to say how much damage i did if i keep on atacking but really can we just remove clever cause i seen on other zf they got banned and since the combo is very op which all the admins i was talking too in different zf servers and normal tf2 servers
Title: Re: Opt for Cleaver nerf (im srs nao)
Post by: Lunacy on August 15, 2013, 08:37:16 pm
It will only do more than 150 if there is attack or defense stats happening.  A hunter can easily crit a cleaver for over 250 if they get a hit right after spawning, which is even enough to take out a turtle medic in 1 go.
Title: Re: Opt for Cleaver nerf (im srs nao)
Post by: BoBoBo-Bo Bo-BoBoBo on August 15, 2013, 08:51:45 pm
yea clever needs to be removed or have a damage pently on it since that is so op
Edit:how bout it has a -50% damage on it so it only does 75 on crit
Title: Re: Opt for Cleaver nerf (im srs nao)
Post by: BoBoBo-Bo Bo-BoBoBo on August 17, 2013, 07:44:26 pm
is the clever getting a damage pentily or being removed
Title: Re: Opt for Cleaver nerf (im srs nao)
Post by: Snackcakes McGee on August 29, 2013, 03:00:45 pm
OP or not, it takes all the fun out of the game when 80% of blue team goes scout and equips it.
Title: Re: Opt for Cleaver nerf (im srs nao)
Post by: Lunacy on August 31, 2013, 09:13:49 pm
Noticed the guillotine no longer has its broken stuncrits.  Back to normal hardmode zombies!
