PYROMANIA (Official "Meet the Pyro" Discussion)

Why can't keys drop. I don't want to fucking buy them.

....WEll still, VALVE messed up teh degreaser -.-"

they didn't change the degreaser.

They gave it -10% damage

but since they gave all flamethrowers a +10% damage, it makes it unchanged. So its the same as it always was...

Why does everyone seem to love the update? Am i the only one that hates it?

The doomsday map is totally fun but its small. even 24 players would be just a cluster. We played 9v9 yesterday and it was still hard to cap.

 

[Mewkin]

I only really dislike it because servers have been lagging and everyone's going pyro and scout. Kinda hard to see how much I like the new sniper rifle when I'm on fire 47% of the time and none of the people that went pyro want to airblast or spycheck.

You're complaining about the balancing of an obvious stock upgrade and the unchanged Degreaser. I'm very dissapointed at the lack of pyro weapons myself, but the balancing changes are great.

Probably pyromania because of meet the pyro, I don't care for the weapons, I wanted MTP.

Whatever you do, don't get the Beggar's Bazooka.

You start with 0 ammo, then you have to M1 to manually load the rockets. As soon as you release M1, you let go of the rockets you loaded. Except that you can't load more than 4 rockets at a time.
Plus, the rockets are consecutive, not in one big triple rocket attack.

In other words: You leave yourself open to attack while attacking.

Useful level: 0

Well he's only marked for death during and 3 seconds after use, and they increased its base damage from -50% to -25%.
I much prefer that over gradual health loss, and as long as you're careful the minicrit damage shouldn't come into play.

And yeah I hate that I can't insta-heal 50% with a thrown sandvich, but I'm terrible at heavy anyway so it's no big loss to me.
