TF2 Update - April 1st

Team Fortress 2

• Added Custom Tab explanation dialog to be shown the first time the server browser is opened
  
• Changed Medigun Ubercharge meter to drain faster for each target that still has Ubercharge beyond your current target. This means there is a penalty for having multiple people being Ubercharged at one time
  
• Fixed crouch-jump exploit that allowed players to get outside of the world
  
• Fixed bad characters in the chat string when achievements are announced in languages other than English
  
• Fixed a few instances of truncated text in the menus and dialogs for languages other than English
  
• Fixed problem that was preventing some dedicated servers from uploading gamestats
  
• Fixed scoring bug during Sudden Death when the map timelimit is triggered
  
• Added the string "(extra slot was added for SourceTV)" when maxplayers is increased for SourceTV

NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE

Now that just makes me upset.
Medic nerf

So Valve basically just said, "We do not support multiple ubers."
.... or uberees getting bounced, or tactical switches from demo for SG to heavy for warm flesh. Think it through Valve: It's hard enough to get people to play medic well, this doesnt help

Saying that's an outrageous change is an understatement.

In TWO recent articles they've said they were gearing towards rewarding the more skilled medics with the new weapons, new tactics to use, and whatnot. Now that's a pretty silly statement in itself but it's what they said, I'll need to fetch the article.

This goes 100% against that. Being able to mulit-uber correctly, efficiently, and in the right situations was where a more skilled medic could shine. Punishing us for using a skill that takes practice and time to be able to use well is so dumb it hurts.

It was one of the bigger slight skill rewards we had, what the fuck?

Hey medics, instead of letting you actually be skilled with your trumpcard action let's just dumb it down and give you HARSH penalties for trying to think outside the box. Go follow that one guy into battle!

lol. Why dont we just add:

Team Fortress 2

• Removed class option "Soldier"
• Sticky bombs must be manually armed by the Demoman
• Spy knife now performs a backstab animation even on a regular hit, but does not do backstab damage
• Replaced Scout Scattergun with a regular shotgun

K, now its april fools. And wtf at the medic "fix," thanks valve!

If they are going to do this, then at least make an ubered sniper last twice as long.

offtopic: voss's # of posts is 1337 (no, literally!)

ontopic: I kinda like this patch because

1.)It makes it so the crit-uber is not completely broken with multi-ubers
2.)depending on how fast it drains, medics may still be able to multiuber, just not as efficiantly
3.) Is there ANYTHING scarier than seeing 3 ubered pyros running at you?

wo-oh I sense a riot about to break from the medic union

Alright, since I like to argue and be insulted here are the reasons I think this is a good idea

1. When the crit gun comes your not gona want multi crittin
2. Makes a uber much easier to handle for the other team and makes it possible to survive without a counter uber
3. You pick your targets more carefully

Edit - Woah, there was only one post when I started writing now Im like 7th, TYPE SLOWER!

Well, in a way it does, now you gota use your uber weller and decide if its worth multi- ubering

if you lose time for ubering 2 or 3 people you should gain time for ubering only yourself
