[Steam] Thread XIII: The World's #1 Forum-Themed Hat Acquisition Simulator

[Gamerlord]

Once this update is fully finished, I am dropping heavy and playing engie FOR EVAH!

[watsyurname529]

Not only movable buildings, but you can move level 3 sentries.

[memnarch]

Two things; Wrangler'd sentries can be repaired and level 3 sentries can be moved around.

Hahah, poor Wats. He's like the little robot orphan in Futurama but not a robot, not an orphan, and never, ever useful even in the slightest.

D'awwwww.

Err.. Why wouldn't they be able to..?

Am I the only one who sees a connection with the gunslinger and a possible TF3...IN SPACE?

[memnarch]

...

Err.. Why wouldn't they be able to..?

Which? Repair Wrangler'd sentries or move level 3s?

[Jahkaivah]

So.. the best robot leg and laser eye arm doesn't let you carry sentries?

And we're still getting that and a guitar, and a new wrench?

Holy crap.

[drolkcal]

So, What do you mean no update? The GunSlinger, engi gets 2 melee weapons (replaces pistol) and 25 more hp? Combat engi boost?

it says wrench now

[KBF]

Which? Repair Wrangler'd sentries or move level 3s?

I guess Wrangled is less surprising, so lets go with that.

[Jahkaivah]

Err.. Why wouldn't they be able to..?

Given the buff that wrangler'd sentries are getting being able to repair them as well sounds terrifying, moving level 3 sentries speaks for itself.

[tyckspoon]

Lightweights vs. Heavyweights in the boxing ring! Engies vs Heavies, fists only!

Any opinions on which achieve is going to be the 'why the hell would you make us try and do that' one of this pack? So far it looks like Built To Last will be the most obnoxious one, although you might be able to get it along with Rio Grind and the other 'help another Engy' achievements while the other guy plays with the Wrangler.

[Gamerlord]

Is it just me or is the engie becoming a weeeeeee bit too powerful? I have a feeling the following will happen:

This update starts an arms race between all the classes. Practically every month
each class will get more and more powerful.

[KBF]

I dunno, looks like a random 2fort server will have what I need to get enough without farming. Assuming enough people aren't engies. or.. Even if they are, I suppose..

[watsyurname529]

It says final day of the Engie update on the blog. I think the guitar comes out as part as one of the new item taunts rather than it being an item.

There is nothing that lets you move sentries yeohmygod which item gets to move sentries. The pictures would have me believe it's the default wrench.

Power Glove Guitar. Please Valve, please. It'd be so bad

EDIT: And no, Gamerslord, I don't think it's too powerful. Everything seems pretty balanced. An unlock that lets you have only 1 level 1 sentry in exchange for melee power and Medic HP, one that lets you take control of a sentry and have it shoot farther than it could, with double firepower and a sheild, but leaves you pretty helpless and if you have to deal with a threat to yourself you lose the range and it powers down for plenty long to kill it with any class.. Seems fine.

That makes sense I suppose.

But given the achievement says smashes the player head in I seriously hope we will get the play the bloody thing.

[Phase]

There's an achievement for playing the guitar.

577 MB, update slowly trickling in. Hopefully the server will receive a bug free update operation as well, so that we may share in this new found Engineer revelry without a hitch.

[watsyurname529]

So how about this:

Engie power glove guitar rock concert where he finishes the concert by smashing the guitar... and anyone who happens to get in the way.

Yeah, I don't know when I'm going to be able to play with that kind of size.

Pyro is rock. Engie is more folk.

[Worira]

So, the update isn't loading for me. Like, it's not even starting.

EDIT: Fixed.

[watsyurname529]

Whatever... Engie guitar is still going to be awesome.

Also, they snuck in some item tweaking:

Item tuning:

• The Sandvich now uses a cooldown timer, instead of the health pack recharge mechanic.
• The Gunboats now reduce self-damage by 60% (was 75%)
• The Tribalman's Shiv bleed duration reduced to 6 second (was 8), and its damage penalty increased to 50% (was 35%).

Plus, it says Engies are now able to move their buildings so it's just part of the update and not a specific item.

[Dispozition]

Wait....Update is live? HNNNNNNnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggg and I'm about to go see Predators as well, goddamn! Still be on the server when I get back!

And Shiv is now useless...Ah well, it was good while it lasted.

[Fawkes]

WHOO-HOO!

I'm back, baby! And not a moment too soon!

Let's kick some ass... for TEXAS!

[Jahkaivah]

Plus, it says Engies are now able to move their buildings so it's just part of the update and not a specific item.

So very terrified.
