There's no downside at all for those weapons.

DICKS EVERYWHERE

laser guns should be engineer weapons.

as a soldier player i feel more filthy with each passing update.

haven't got a chance to use one, but I haven't been killed often by them either. Been able to dodge them well enough I suppose.

I like how the comic shows more of red soldier's crazy side. I also like the sci-fi feel of them. Those are my shallow opinions. I don't do well figuring out how things will balance, etc.

i still feel as if the Soldier and Demo battle is still going on. Soldier is now getting more weapons with no downside, just like Demoman. oh god.

>comic
>"Space Marines"

That's why I left PC gaming in the first place. TF2 made me come back because it wasn't that. Don't do this to me, baby.

>>7638
Valve, why do you hate my favorite class in the game?

I wouldn't have as much of an issue with this update if it didn't completely fuck over servers. It's causing serious lag issues, sourcemod crashing left and right, servers just not responding, and all sorts of shit.

"peter pepper pants"

really soldier?

That's right, Valve. Give Solly Space weapons instead of Engineer. Hell, why not make those weapons really unfriendly to Engineer. I don't care.

Go ahead, offer promos to people who can visit Comic Con. Just do it. Forget about people who live far away, in other countries like Australia, for whom visiting is a pipe dream...

I don't care, Valve. Keep cutting through my heart. KEEP DOING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN

>>7647
not like they drop or can be crafted right?

>Energy Weapons
>not for Engineer
>instead for Soldier

ALL OF MY GODDAMN FUCKING HATE

SOLDIER HAS THE MOST FUCKING WEAPONS OUT OF ANY GODDAMN CLASS, STOP GIVING HIM SHIT. SERIOUSLY. STOP SHITTING ALL OVER ENGINEERS FOR FUCKS SAKE.

I MEAN SERIOUSLY. IN THE LAST UPDATE WHICH WAS THE FUCKING "UBER UPDATE" /SOLDIER/ GOT MORE WEAPONS THEN MEDIC. HOLYSHITFUCK I AM SO MAD RIGHT NOW

FUCK

valve, why do you do this

Valve, why do you do this?

Valve, WHY do you DO this?!

VALVE, WHY DO YOU DO THIS?!?!

Why the heck is soldier getting all these new items?
Give them to Engie, who clearly needs the update.
Cmon Valve, just what are you up to?

>>7647
>in other countries like Australia, for whom visiting is a pipe dream

its easy enough to make dreams into reality. if i'm doing it right now, anyone can.

but hey, i'll grab another one just for you, ausbro

This week is the week.

>New engie building.
>New turret.
>Air strike.
>New pyro flamethrower.
>Napalm grenade.
>Railgun for Sniper.

I told you about items bro.

I warned you dawg.

I squealed with glee. Then I felt bad for squealing. Goddamnit, Valve, Engie was halfway to steampunk already!

That said, the comic was rather adorable.
Soooo, who wants to be the one to tell Soldier he's wearing a /French/ pith?

the TF2 wiki links to it, it's the missing ship manifest of dr Grod
geuss how many weapons it has on it

I'm saving so hard, believe me

This is stupid. Don't like the sci-fi direction and Solly is NOT worthy of those weapons.

The comic is the result of Soldier drinking too much scrumpy, clearly.

Also, ahem.

Excuse me while I use the ingame report bug feature to voice my opinion. I urge all of you to do the same - They listen to that much more than to unfriendly bitching and moaning on SPUF or somewhere else. Select the last point for suggestions and ideas. DO IT.

... Soldier, now go and gift this stuff to Engie. Seriously. You are a greedy fuck and you know it.

Also wait

Weren't there THREE rockets crashed into different areas?
And looking at that awesome stuff from WETA that looks VERY Engieish, I still have my hopes up.

... Doesn't make the stats of the new Soldier things and their completely superfluous existence any less aggravating, though.

>>7671
and weta showed off a steampunk sentry
and the mystery shotgun still hasn't been revealed
and yeah. 3 rockets

valve
what are you doing
seriously valve

what are you doing

>>7663
PLEASE VALVE! Don't let an Engi-bro down! Don't tase him bro!

WORST

UPDATE

EVERRRRRRR

>>7662
>>7663
I REALLY hope to the TF2 and Valve gods that Engi will receive this update. Engineer didn't get anything during the UberUpdate, so they really need to make up for him. Hopefully, one of the 2 remaining Rockets will go to Engineer. PLEASE Valve... Please? We will all love you forever?

And if they will do three updates, I have a feeling either Sniper or Pyro will get the last one.

Not only are the weapons stupid and out of place (WETA you are stupid), but I can't get excited unless HEAVY SHIT HERE is plastered everywhere.

I'm a Heavy player through-and-through and no update will change that, so I'll just cry in my corner.

I'm actually disappointed. I never thought I'd say it, but I am.

Well, I think I might as well voice any grievances I have with this—

>>7659
>>7661
>>7662
>>7663

...never mind, I think I'll just wait and see what's going on with these first.

I will say this, though: I went up against a shit-ton of Soldiers wielding these things last night as a Demoman, and still held my own pretty well. Faced one with a Cow Mangler as an Engineer, and my level 3 Sentry still took him out even after several blasts. Crafted myself a Cow Mangler because hey, they still looked pretty fun, and I was no more effective than I normally am as Soldier.

So, maybe I just surround myself with shit Soldier players (and maybe I am one myself), but I didn't really see that much gameplay difference last night.

I should be upset about this, but

a) I don't play Engie much
b) I actually think these things look great and it's a great art direction for TF2 to go in. There's loads of 50s sci-fi stuff they could dig out and use for reference material, and it wouldn't look out of place at all. Pic related.

It shouldn't have gone to Soldier but we can hold out hope there's more stuff coming to more deserving classes.

Holy mother of God...Solider is having a tea party. I could not DAWWW more.

PEW PEW PEW

  zzzzap

>>7686

A tea party with cardboard cutouts, which are basically his equivalent of dolls.

I loved the comic...despite the fact that I still badly want something for Pyro or, to a lesser extent, Engineer.

>>7690
Yes, Pyro needs more non-melee stuff.

the heck, Solly already had five primary weapons and seven secondary weapons and now there are more.
Don't really like the weird sci-fi style, early TF2 was more like, minimalist looking.

I don't like the Cow Mangler's charge shot, it causes serious lag and you have no clue where the splash damage ends.
Add the afterburn and the building sapping ability, you've got yourself an OP headache.

As a Medic, it just makes me want to give up pocketing Soldiers until this update settles down or people start using it competently.

> Soldier comes in with his beard
> Engie: Gran... Granpa? Is this you?
> Soldier: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MAGGOT?

Soldier looks ridiculous manly with this beard. Like i´m so confused if i want or not. But for the sake of grandpa bills beard, he has a pipe!
(And i like his hair a bit better than this military cut. Looks classy.)

I laughed prety hard about the comic. Pew. Pew.

>>7703
the australium treatment worked

Oh come on - at least spoiler tag that. Not that I be hatin'.

>>7715
You do remember what website you're on, I hope?

>>7719
>>7715 is quite right, people ought to spoiler tag things like this when you're in places less suited for them such as here in /dis/. Also posting just to get it off the front page.

The thing in the dooobly doo.

Solly, why you taking all of Engie's things!

>>7736
I can imagine this hapening
I can imagine it

ok comicon freebie is a promotional code for a free "righteous bison indivisible particle smasher"

i'll be seeling them for two refined each :V

but seriously i'll try and grab you fine folks as many as i can. just message me if you want one.

now i'll get some photos together from the exhibit

>>7742
here is some props from the universe or whatever the fuck it is

>>7743
and here's the armoury. i belive all these were actually for sale.

just realized its going to be harder to get multiples when i'm in quite an obvious costume

>>7744
oh yeah and i guess here's a life size statue of the soldier

not that you would care

>>7742

Sold, contact me when you have a spare moment to conduct this trade

>>7751
sorry if i misslead you guys, the ":V" was supposed to signify that i was joking.

thats ok i can wait for you to gather your refined

>>7752
Gathered, my body is ready to give and recieve

>>7752
KEEP ONE FOR MEEEEEE!
Plz? Would ya take a towering pillar?

So, wait. You're telling me that incredibly Sentry-like thingamajig is actually another freaking weapon wepon for Soldier.

>>7736
This exactly.
I love Soldier - he's my third most played class - but Engie is my second most played, and it depresses me that Valve is treating him like the redheaded step-child of the classes.

THERE IS NO JUSTICE IN THIS WORLD

May this means Engie's next update is going to be like, a freakin' sexy robot maybe? Or something. Or a new hat!

>>7757
I don't know why, but I immediately thought of this.
Just imagine her rolling around the battlefield like a portable, nagging dispenser.

>>7745
Wow, pepakura? You'd think WETA, of all people, could do better.

I'm calling it now.

Valve is intentionally dissing Engi, although the new items would obviously be the most fitting for him. They'll also give the last two grockets to others (likely Demojediknight, maybe Sniper), and the shitstorm will grow with each update.

Finally, when it turns out the last grocket wasn't for Engi either and the shitstorm reaches critical mass, one last comic will be released. It reveals that Engi ordered the items for himself via rocket delivery, but the rockets malfunctioned on the way. The Administrator finds out, is disappointed with others stealing Engi's gear, and hands them back to him.

This was an Engi update all along. Valve just wanted to troll us first.

from the grordborg facebook

Dr. B. Aldwin Daniel, we can only confirm that one or more rockets, did not go un-missed. It is often very hard to dis-confirm the absence of missing mislocated rockets.

Dr. B. Aldwin Ah, grief and havoc. The tried and true trade of the raygun. We will reconcentrate our efforts and see if we can mislocate some more oscillatory apparatii.

>>7755
The Comicon guns are untradable, FYI.

Also all this rage is hilarious. Every time there's some sorta update or new items, everybody flips the fuck out, and then a few weeks later things are fine. I'm sad that my mac earbuds no longer make people openly hostile towards me and instead want to trade for them. I miss those days.

>>7768

I generally feel exactly like this, but this is probably the one update where I stopped and went 'wooow'. Not so much because of who got the weapons, but because of seeing them in action.

Playing a game with multiple Soldiers in possession of these new weapons is a definite sort of fresh hell, hahaha. Laser beams everywhere, looking severely out of place and destroying everything in their path (holy shit so overpowered it's like God's Wrath coming for you), and lagging up the server something fierce with every use. Things just stopped being fun with those things everywhere.

If Valve doesn't nerf the hell outta those things I'll be amazed. Can't wait until that happens and their usage drops.

>>7773

Something to think about, guys. If this was a multi-day update, then the rocket launcher and laser pistol wouldn't have been implemented yet. The updates are always put into the game only once all of the weapons have been announced.

You can keep hoping vainly, though.

>>7773
Seriously, they're fucking broken. Who cares about reduced building damage when you can shut them off and let others break them? Also no random crits is meaningless when you have infinite ammo, can charge them up instead, get free minicrits anyway, pierce through players, and set people fucking on fire (therefore edging into Pyro territory). The balance issues are so blatant I don't believe Valve didn't know what was going to happen because of them.

>>7775
Valve have trolled us to hell and back before. Just sayin'.

>>7773
Yeah but wait for the novelty to wear off and people will realize they're not as good as Soldier's other weapons and I'm sure in a week or two you won't be seeing so many lasers. Every time a new weapon drops you see people going nuts playing with them. Like when everybody was complaining about how many crappy Engineers there were all over the maps during the Engineer Update, but it's calmed down by now.

I'm not the biggest fan of the new weapons but I am just loving how insanely enraged everybody is acting over them, like the game is over forever.

>>7779

Yeah, I generally agree, but that's the catch right there:

>they're not as good as Soldier's other weapons

They are probably one of the most powerful weapons Soldier's ever been given, if not the most powerful. Everybody's using them not just 'cos they're new, but because they are now become Death, Destroyer of Worlds.

It's not just engineers this has a bad effect on, it's us spies. A rocket goes off near you, you lose some health, but you can probably get away and it's no big deal. A laser goes off near you, and you're on fire. Just what we needed...another class besides the pyro who can light people on fire. Just great.

>>7784
Huh really? 'Cause the stats on the wiki make it look like the Rocket Launcher is more powerful than the Cow Mangler. At point blank it is more powerful, but it's base damage is 81 while the base damage of the Rocket Launcher is 90. Also the Cow Mangler's minicrit is 109 while the Rocket Launcher is 122, and the charged shot is nowhere near the power of a crit rocket.

But honestly I don't have any first-hand experience with the weapons being used on me so I haven't had any annoying experiences with it. I just tested out my new Bison today and I ended up switching it out because I didn't like it a whole lot.

Looks like the Mangler just received a big nerf pretty recently, that should tone things down. But why they didn't do that upon the initial release I have no fucking idea. Unless they did it on purpose to get lots of people to use it like guerilla advertising.

>>7774

I'm loving the laser rave.

>>7768
the codes arent, dumbass

they've had the same guy giving htem out every day so i've only managed to snag 5

>>7819
ooh we are feisty today! Sorry, it sounded like there was some "trade you SDCC bisons for metal" going on and turns out the bisons aren't tradable!

I'm hoping a tesla gun for engi is on the way.

>>7828
Oh man... I would spend a lot more time as Engie if that happened. My love for anything Tesla-related would demand it.

The SDCC Bisons are just untradable Bisons there's nothing different at all.

>>7844
They don't say anything different? Or look different? That's kinda lame.

>>7844
Yep, absolutely nothing different. Take me off the list.

The only advantage to the Comic-Con ones is that if you have bad luck getting drops or the right materials for crafting, you'll have one and won't have to spend metal on it or wait.
