PropHunt Hell / Re: OP Weapons/ suggested weapon changes.

I like how the beginning of every one of your posts is an insult. Really gets people to like you. Not to mention your post is longer than my last one.

I'm not sure where you got that from my post. I'm pretty sure I never I said I like it that way - that's just how it is right now. Not to mention this notion that I never have fun when I'm playing.

If a prop gets slowed down they're as good as dead. Anything less than a 2 speed boost pyro is as good as useless unless there's no way a pyro can get two speed boosts. It might not be unbalanced but for the ONE prop that you manage to get throughtout the whole round, they have little to no chance.

OH WAIT, you could just sit on the control point and deny it better than anything else.


1) You don't have to try hard to be good, nor does trying hard rule out having fun.
2) You can dodge flares. Short circuit is hitscan.
3) I'm right there with you on the axe.
4) You DO have the option to play the way you want - I'm not sure where I'm denying you that. However, with the current config, it's not possible to slow people down using the short circuit and it's not possible for you to play that way.
5) Your way of playing doesn't bore me in the slightest. If I want to win something I'll play PH or a lobby, and you not trying at all doesn't hinder me from doing that at all.


There's a reason that you don't get permanently frozen when you prop lock. You have two ways to prevent dying - hiding is the first and running the second. Hiding might prevent you from dying longer but if you don't run when you're found you're sure to die.

Everything looks like an insult to someone with no sense of humor.  Which is my smartass way of saying...I wasn't trying to insult anyone.


But if you aren't happy about it why are you arguing about it at all?  Why not just suggest something else?  My entire point was that the server only has 1 option on blu, hunt and kill, anything else is considered banworthy by the admins. 

And if a "prop gets slowed down he's dead"....that's kind of the point.  Having an engie item that slows down (doesn't have to be short circuit ovbiously) it is still less powerful than any pyro loadout which can kill almost instantly.  I honestly don't even know what your point is here, if it is that the short circuit isn't a good idea to give slowdown, fine.  If it is that any sort of slowdown will break the game, that's clearly wrong, anything can be balanced.  If it is that there should only be 1 objective for blu team, to kill...then fine but that is boring. 




Please though, if you respond say something less argumentative.  It's a suggestion thread, not a "argue anytime someone suggests something that would effect the way I play" thread.  Actually scratch that, to be honest I never cared about this anyway, I just wanted to suggest something to try out because I was getting bored with PH.  Do whatever you want, I couldn't give 2 shits.  I would rather have an inch long zit on the middle of my ballsack than continue talking with you about this. And for the record, THAT is what an insult looks like.  lol




And in case you were wondering, yes, this is just me being a smartass again lol, no need to take it personally.

Just to be clear though, and despite my epic poem of a post, I don't really care either way about the short circuit specifically.  I just wish there was a way to play prophunt that wasn't entirely chasing and killing the props.  It just gets a bit boring.  The great thing about VSH is that there are tons of options as to how to play.

Dude, how many keyboards did you just go through typing all that?  lol



To sum up your post, you like points and don't care about it being team oriented.  Fair enough but that is extremely boring to all of us who don't care about rank, those of us who just play for fun.  Also the Short Circuit has a small range and heavy ammo cost, to try and say it would be OP is silly.  Like 43 clowns climbing out of a VW Bug silly.  Stop being silly Shooter...STOP IT! 


Also it would be entirely optional class, you realize that right?  Keep playing pyro all you want, but team players want to have something to do too.  I honestly don't even like hunting, especially as a pyro.   And if another hunter can't finish the job when you slow a prop down good for the prop, another reason why it wouldn't be OP.  Also the slow down wouldn't need to be set to a billion, you could set it low enough though for pyros without a kill to catch up to it or soldiers who are slow as balls anyway.  Engie with a Short Circuit = one less pyro chasing the prop btw.


If you honestly think adding a slowdown to the Short Circuit would make it boring...here's some bad news.  There are a big group of people who play for rank and basically just to win, that's fine.  For me, boring is being killed in literally 1 second by a degreaser+axe or flare.  Boring is also only being able to hunt and not even given another option.  Boring is anything resembling tryhardness.  I grew out of that with COD4 lol.  Not that I mind any of this, I'm only pointing out that your way of playing bores me as much as I'm sure mine bores you.  But that doesn't mean I shouldn't have the option to play the way I want.  And neither should you.  Assuming obviously it doesn't unbalance everything, which I don't think it would.

And most importantly, the biggest defense tool in PH isn't running away...it's hiding well.  Which is the entire point.

Also, I disagree that having a dispenser is strategic.

Of course it is. 


PH in general is not played as a team mode, most people just mindlessly go after kills and it makes it a really shallow mode.  That said if you play engie as a support class rather than a hunter not only is it more fun, but it's a lot more interesting.  It is the biggest problem with PH imo, people who just tryhard for kills.

When I play engie I usually pick a spot where props most often run to when being chased, set up my dispenser in the best spot to block or slow them down, and not really go for kills....just sort of funnel the props to my teammates and assist when I can.  If there isn't much traffic I just start clearing the bottom floor usually with my melee.




Turning the engie into a hunting class by giving him some sort of jump is a bad idea imo.  I would rather see a Short Circuit that slows props when hit, we have enough hunting classes, we need at least 1 good support class.  And because engie wouldnt get many kills doing this it wouldn't upset the rankings or anything by changing one of the classes and there isn't a need to balance the Short Circuit because the metal cost is insane already. 




Bushwacka jumping and slow effect on the Short Circuit.


Pwwweeeaaaassssseeeeee...?  We need at least 1 blu support class.

Is it possible to apply the sapper's slow down effect on players or does it only work against robots?

Instead of making a thread for it, one small request.  Can people try not to say "friendly CP"..etc at the start of rounds.  When I spawn as a haybale for instance and someone says "friendly haybale" the whole blu team knows to look for haybales or places haybales usually hide.  Or if they say "friendly CP" the whole blu team goes out of their way to check all the high spots.

Not that it's a big problem though.

When I join the trade server 9 times out of 10 2 or more people are playing over each other.  Someone shouldn't be banned just because the other players don't know how to mute on a sever where mic spamming is allowed.

PropHunt Hell / Re: New Map Ideas.

« on: January 21, 2013, 10:14:49 pm »

I would say make a hell map.  Like literally, hell.  Like Lolcano a bit, but not terrible for ph.  We've been needing a saxtonhell themed map.


Also if you do make a map plz make the blu spawn out of view from the hiding props and put the invisible walls high enough to let soldiers fly around.  More than one type of prop types and areas for them to hide (enviromental props, office props, construction props..etc) and multiple levels would be nice for the parkour'ing.  Like maybe using bridges like canyon does, it would fit the theme.

But yeah a hell themed map would be my suggestion, with lots of big rocks, some lava, in a big open cave, basically like a heavily modified lolcano.

You mean he was just micspamming over the other micspammers?  Why didn't you just mute him?

Cardboard nan nuqqa you p1e as fck bro! (err, she-bro)



I'd like to use this time to make a very serious complaint, something needs to be done about Marshii.  His behavior is inappropriate and shouldn't be allowed in these servers.  It has gone on long enough without anything being done and his victim count is in the hundreds by now. 

Just to explain, it all started one day last month.  He asked me into the copy room under the guise of fixing a jammed copier door.  When I bent over to check it out, I felt him gently run his hand down my right buttocks.  I assumed at the time it was an accident but it didn't stop there.  Two days later he requested my help yet again, this time checking that an ethernet cable under his desk had accidentally been severed by a wheel on his desk chair.  When I checked it out it had been clearly been bifurcated with scissors, and when I tried to get out from under the desk Marshii had blocked me in while sitting in his desk chair.  He sat there for what seemed like an eternity with his legs opened, as close as he could get to my face, just sitting there with the faintest smile and a weird glisten in his eyes.  It was at this moment I realized for the first time I had been lured there by a seasoned male-on-male sexual predator.

Ladies and gentlemen, Marshii is a dangerous sexual predator that must be stopped.  It has taken every ounce of courage I could muster to come forward like this, in the hopes that somehow we can come together and end his reign of terror.  Something must be done.  The time to act, is now.
