As a sniper player, I truly think just adding a fairly decently long reload, perhaps with a new reload animation over the garbage we have now would be incredibly balancing for the class, as well as less max ammo. I find that in most of my matches I forget I even have ammo in the first place as I can almost always shoot forever and by the time I take some sort of damage and go heal I get my ammo back too. 25 is just far too high, 12 or 10 would work better but it could be argued for slightly more.

When people discuss Sniper balance they always forget the one thing that he has had since the beginning and they NEVER consider tweaking it. The Charge mechanic on sniper rifles is already a perfect method to nerfing his quickscope potential - just make it so shots under 30% or so charge don't do crits. No more quickscopes, people actually have to setup and plan ahead before sniping instead of running in guns ablaze. Whats more, is you could add that little laser everyone talks about. The dot sucks. too easy to miss. Make it a laser that increases in opacity the more its charged. You can setup a shot while being relatively hidden but as you keep a closer eye on targets their awareness of you increases. Whats EVEN MORE is add a "Sniper!" callout. How come the Spy gets a callout but the Sniper doesn't? Both are the assassin classes, and while there is plenty of counter play to Spy because fuck him in particular(?) there is no meaningful way to address a Sniper in his nest unless your teammates have more than two brain cells.

Totally agree, and i dont get why the tf community has decided to say its our job to save it. Sure, we love the game, but this is a product. Valve is paid to keep it live, and its up to them ultimately to keep it live. Im so sick of the toxic positivity, as that will never get anything done to it. If you ask me, as a helldiver and tf2 player, the tf community ought to take a page out of our book. When movements like 'save tf2' happen, it just reinforces to valve that the games players will support this carcass no matter how long they leave it to rot

I don't think Dane is necessarily *wrong* in saying "Valve is 100% to blame for any 'bad' cosmetics/maps being added to TF2. They hold all the power. The workshop is a wide spectrum of talent, artistic integrity, and gameplay awareness. It's Valve's responsibility to sort through it and choose the appropriate content." In all honesty, I think he's completely right! But I think saying that "It's Valve's fault" and ending right there is kind of missing the point of the overall discussion surrounding community cosmetics. I feel like where we should have the goalpost is getting overall higher-quality stuff overall, rather than just begging Valve to do stuff for us. This can be achieved in a myriad of ways, but the first and most obvious way to get this done is of course having overall community review and going off the stats of how people rate items. ...which, if I'm not mistaken, are only viewable by the creator for cosmetics and war paints. For maps it's a bit of a different issue (level design is a lot harder than creating cosmetics, trust me). I don't believe I'd be mistaken in saying though that people would rather have things that the majority likes, rather than something that 5% of players will like.

@lpsp442

6 ай бұрын

What's so crucial about cosmetics is that they represent an imposition from one player unto *all others* on the server as themselves. With maps, you can just choose not to play on that map, but if someone turns up in game with horrific cosmetics that ruin the experience then what can one do? A tool that lets you target specific players to turn their cosmetics off, or a selecter that lets you pick cosmetic items and say "make those invisible for me" would help, but ultimately a solid layer of public review would go a mile towards eliminating problem items that 5% of players like, 10% tolerate, 20% dislike and 65% outright detest.

In my opinion, forming your own opinion rather than absorbing one you're exposed to is a skill that has to be learned and practiced over time, whereas if it was something we were all inherently capable of, it'd be a lot harder to spread misinformation, conspiracy theories, extreme political or religious views, prejudice, dumb internet trends, and other things that thrive on a lack of critical thinking than it currently is. It also certainly doesn't help if you're like me and don't play the game enough to have a grasp on various aspects of the game and have to rely on secondary sources (namely content creators) to fill in those knowledge gaps 43:57 "Maining a class" doesn't mean "exclusively playing one class unless forced to play another". Most people will be more drawn to a select few classes because they facilitate playstyles they like, but that doesn't mean everything else is off the table; this applies to just about any game with multiple characters or playstyles. Obviously playing a wider variety is good because you experience more of the game's content and it gives you valuable experience, but maining is still a natural thing to do and serves a good purpose

I wish Valve did a reprint for the overpriced strange weapons. The huntsman, kritzkrieg and gunslinger cost $80, $170 and $340 respectively. That's a lot for a kill counter.

To be fair to DRG, it's monetized in a Pay2Play-Manner with a "No content gets wasted" policy that also doesn't allow any type of micromarket to grow out of it. This creates are more healthy way of getting cosmetics by actually earning them (random selection be damned for a moment) and people can buy more cosmetics if they wish to via DLCs. That being said, the unfortunate side-effect is that trying to get a specific cosmetic becomes harder and harder with each season released, since they're linked to random spawns that max out around 22% for a Max-Complexity cave, which may take around an hour to finish if played...normally, I guess? Similar issues with Overclock-Cosmetics, but at least for that there are ways to work around this and expect a consistent stream of new OCs. Still a way better system than just making certain cosmetics just outright unreasonable to gain or unobtainable, tho. Nothing interesting to say regarding the TF2 Takes on my end lol

There will be a point where increasing the methods of earning additional cosmetics needs to be increased, as well as additional ways of being able to choose what cosmetics you want or not (similar to Machine-Events and Overclocks since a similar but more important issue existed there as well, given OCs affect gameplay). Ultimately tho, one could argue that some of the cosmetics could be moved towards the normal ingame-shop if that isn't done already.

Kunai balance- Every backstab drains the health gain bar but once that runs out you start using your cloak meter instead, if you run out of cloak you no longer get any health on kill.

Holy shit I watched a 50 minute video and never once realized it was 50 minutes until it was over, good shit Zesty

Hot take: I just stole your torch.

I’m at the part where you’re talking about how sniper’s limiting factors are too easily overcome by skill. I think a neat change that could be made alongside some numerical tweaks would be making sniper take minicrits for 2~3ish seconds upon scoping in. This would encourage snipers to charge up their shots more often from behind cover, slowing down their kill rate, as well as making the act of entering scope itself a weighted decision with downsides that can’t be overcome by just aiming better. Additionally, since minicrits remove damage falloff, the enemy will have an easier time fighting back against a sniper that’s going too fast. Plus, sniper can have spy-like moments of bad luck where they scope in at a bad time and get obliterated, which can be funny and gives tf2’s two ‘assassin’ classes a shared identity in that sense.

i love your content and ideas, keep making cool videos

34:01 is Zesty's foreshadowing of a Raiden vs Sam representation with Dane

The reason why competitive sucks is because meet your match was a crap update. This wasn’t due to the concept being crap; but rather because it was handled like my penis when I realized I had a testicular torsion

Damn I’ve misunderstood you. You seem cool.

finally! i had been waiting for this vid since you made that twitter post!

14:37 Y'know it boutta get good when the Metroid Prime _Phendrana Drifts (Depths)_ theme plays.

11:05 I don't know bout other TF2ubers but believe me I could be negative bout the game and talk about it. I have no fear of being open about this bullshit. Why though? What is there to say that isn't already blatantly obvious? 1 Dev, bots everywhere, yeah games shit. The entire community has been an echo chamber of the same grievances they have with Valve since 2017. There is nothing I could announce that hasn't already been repeated 100 times already so I don't bother. I don't need to "inform" the community about the bullshit. It's constantly thrown in their face everytime they play the game.

yooo Zesty Jesus tf2 now has 64 bit updates !! 😊 🙏

Happy new year! hope you can hit 100k

Finally someone said it about the Direct Hit. LP really gave it a reputation as an anti-scout gun, but it really isn't warranted. As the titles of his videos suggest, he's a very emotionally driven player, and I'll agree with him, landing a Direct Hit on a Scout is deeply satisfying as a Soldier. It's also terribly frustrating as a Scout. However, at the end of the day, rocket+panic will kill faster and more reliably than the Direct Hit, and as a Scout as unfun as it is to fight the DH soldier, once they whiff a rocket, I've basically won, without losing a sliver of health.

@24:06 "Likely the biggest reason for the Cow Mangler's ban is one-tapping Scouts peeking a choke with the charge shot, and god forbid we have anything that makes Scout anything other than overly oppressive." *_AMEN._* The absolute simping for Scout in 6v6 like he's the next coming of Melee Fox is precisely why I gave up on competitive in general, as if the removal of random bullet spread, one of the *_very few_* limiting factors of the class, wasn't already bad enough as it is; TF2's core balance barely hangs on with the thinnest of threads to begin with, as evidenced with Sniper's quickscoping and Medic's crossbow to a slightly less oppressive extent, and these community choices only make it come apart at the seams -- especially when the only way to play the game now is through said community. Also, yes, the game needs team scramble back badly; not autobalance, *_TEAM scramble._*

What if the Pomson functioned exactly like the Righteous Bison (fast reload, penetrating projectile, same damage, etc), but instead of the cloak/uber draining stuff, it just caused spies to have an electrified effect similar to the visuals of afterburn that'd be visible while cloaked? It's not negating the Spy's skill because he has to get hit by the Engineer for it to apply, which means he either approached through spam or got caught and is retreating, but it rewards the Engineer for hitting the Spy by making it easier to track him down and finish him off.

I already know this is gonna be a classic video; This is gonna blow up. (In a good way-)

I wonder if nerfing the Kunai's overheal depletion rate to be the same as a Medic could be a good nerf. You're still rewarded but you have to act quickly to benefit from the bonus health and otherwise you'll more quickly return to your more vulnerable base form

Any class with overhealing is difficult to kill, in the case of the kunai, let it have the 210 maximum overheal.

the amount of times someone has gone direct hit to counter me when i’m scout just to get absolutely destroyed is hilarious

The thing I actually took away from the cow mangler part, was that players drop ammo packs now. Which lead me down a rabbit hole to find out that you can pick up and use other players' weapons now, and somehow I missed ever hearing about that being a thing. I hadn't realized it had been *quite* that long since I played much. Also, nice dispenser-chan.

"People are just nostalgic for arena, they didn't actually play it for more than a few minutes!" Explain why I spent 99% of my TF2 playtime in the late 2010s on the Randomizer Arena server (back when the original was still up).

zesty never fails to be entertaining

@@bullhammer59 Yes but because Pyro won the update and Valve ''fixed'' flame particles (bison and pomson used that before) i don't even think Valve could revert them back even if they wanted.

My idea for balancing sniper is to make the sniper rifle have damage falloff that the scope charge negates, meaning a 100% charge having 0 damage falloff and an un-scoped or quick-scope shot having normal bullet damage falloff.

i killed 4 people with a direct hit crit. direct hit has a splash damage, thus it is op (i am joking, alright?)

My idea that I’ve always had to for putting old content back in the game is some contract or trade up that allows you to give a certain amount of ref for a chance at any crate in the game. It would work similarly to how the Halloween items work in which you place say 3-5 ref and you have a chance at any crate in the game (excluding one you can’t open) not only would this fetch valve hella money. It would also help the key inflation issue immensely. Also it would allow for older hats (like ones in the gargoyle case) to actually have a legit chance to now have new effects on them as cases won’t be an obscene 10-20 dollars per pop

I was the medic in some of the clips, so fun playing on stream. But great vid man, love the content.

Making the Kunai heal up the Spy the amount gained on backstab like he's being temporarily pocketed by a Quick Fix could be a possible change. It'd mean there's a few seconds where direct hitting him with rockets and pipes is still lethal while also letting the spy run from minor damage sources.

What do you think of the Short Circuit having a longer deploy time like the Atomizer and no metal from dispensers and payload carts while active (or even at all and you must use ammo boxes)? It would reduce it's ability to be used in a quick reactionary way, thus forcing players to use it preemptively or not at all, as well as reduce turtling. This would make it far more manageable and less punishing to fight against while still keeping it functionally the same for the people who like to use it.

I wonder if bringing Sniper's melee damage down to that of Spy or Scout would be enough, just such that a crit wouldn't kill most classes on it's own. Hey that might even end up fixing the Bushwacka by proxy.

Add a cooldown to being able to headshot with sniper, aka it takes a second after charging to be able to get headshots, you know, to make him weak at close range
