JAMES'S SPY UPDATE MEGATHREAD

[Wedge]

I think the gun should do 999 damage, but the spy only gets one shot because firing it breaks his flimsy little arm.

Meh I haven't even played with it yet.  I just feel like it is meant to be a sort of "assassination" weapon.  In which case it sounds like it's in need of some tweaks.

But to counter loqutus, if you made the ambassador "aim based" instead of being behind it would still require some skill, and if you tweaked it so you can't use it while disguised your victim will have enough time to counter if they are paying attention, so it could be balanced that way.

When you suggest disabling disguise (and obviously, cloak) in order to fire a weapon, you take away the point of giving the weapon to the spy. What you get instead is a scope-less sniper rifle that has no charge-up. Not balanced, imo.

Oh I think you are misunderstanding me.  In my "vision" of this there would be a neutral state where he is just disguised and not holding anything.  Then you "activate" the weapon his disguise drops and you pull out the gun.  Then you can fire.  Thats the trade off for having such a deadly weapon.  That plus the current stuff and a very rapid damage fall off for distance so you can't use it to snipe.

This would be like the "Hitman" weapon.  You cloak/disguise to get up to your victim then pull it out and off them.

HUGE WTF Here.

When i was doing achievements, one popped up saying you have 10/15 of this achievement. The icon was a pokemon human character wtf???

Edit: The achievement was "Point Breaker"

It has a tendency to display people's sprays instead of the icon for the achievement.

The Ambassador now does full critical hits on headshots, instead of mini crits

The Cloak & Dagger now fully drains the cloak meter, even if the Spy leaves cloak early

Fixed Spy disguise menu not being visible in HUD minimal mode

Server log improvements:

Added "player_extinguish" event for servers to log when a Pyro extinguishes flame with the airburst

Fixed kill descriptions for Force-A-Nature & Sandman, so server logs can distinguish them

Identified feign deaths in the events sent to server logs

Fixed server crash related to the Jarate

[Maxon]

Thank goodness they fixed the Ambassador.  Now to see what kind of damage it does.

[Wedge]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU

That's an excessive nerf to the DR.  It could have just forced it to half charge, shit's hard enough to use as is.

Me too.  I thought the Dead Ringer was an extremely fun, excellent sidegrade.  Now it seems to be a slight downgrade.
