Ambassador and Jarate are CLEARLY broken. May I kick people for using them? (I'm not kidding).

Watch this for Ambassador: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQW58xRYebc

And if youre running dxlevel 81 and get hit by Jarate - you'll see what I mean.

played another 4h and all I got is 2 more duplicates. Why do i need DUPLICATES!? Seriously. How hard can it be to check the inv before awarding an item?!

Soo, in a nushell: 13h played today and two of the new weapons found. Out of 6. And looking at how others are doing, like poor Johhny, this was a "lucky" run.

Fucking ridiculous.

If you want to change a system and you're not sure if it's going to work properly, keep the old one as well until the new one is ready. I've loved this game since the first day I met the tf2 guys, but I've never felt so frustrated with a game. A week of anticipation, hype, reading every post on the site, talking and making suppositions and jokes about the update..and now what? This pisspoor annoying day? No thanks.

It's always like this after an update. It'll go back to normal in a week or two.

So who's unlocked what so far? be interesting to know :D
Author:  Lim-Dul [ 23 May 2009, 00:51 ]
Post subject:  Re: The spy update
Because many people don't have them unlocked yet and in future you will have more items than you can carry so you'll need to delete some of your stuff and otherwise you could never get it back.

Nevertheless the system is currently simply bugged. We have people with like 6-7 unlocks and I've been playing for the whole day and got 2 - the Force-A-Nature and the Kritzkrieg. ;-)

Cant stop caring about the game i had tons of fun before this update,even the first scout update week was torelable.

In my opinion sniper didnt need an update,especially this jarate and razor back stuff(with 26 server games in mind).
And ambassador is too much......its nice to be able to defend yourself as a spy if you get discovered.........but rushing with no disguise and guns blazing is not spy class at all........

Hehehe no wonder, that Doctor Bob was able to kill more than 200 players already with Ambasador, since you just shoot "something there" and hit :shock: And best player with normal spy revolver have just 1200 kills :roll:

that was cos of class limiter immunity and my need to chuck around piss like a monkey :p

Post subject:  Re: The spy update
I thought that the class limit immunity stuff wasn't supposed to kick players out of their class anyway? Yesterday I was kicked out of my class about 7 times due to people with the class limit immunity taking my place (so 7 maps I got kicked out of a class I had already been in for 5-10 minutes). That is something that will definitely deter people away from the servers, mainly because I'm not going to just leave the servers due to it, but it's so annoying that others will.

Post subject:  Re: The spy update
Surely though, with these updates, the class limit immunity should be turned off (and the countdown on them ending for players paused) so that we don't get 5 snipers on one team?

Calm down:
Valve wrote:
* Fixed Ambassador not using hitboxes to trace against players. It now works like all other bullet-firing weapons in the game
* Fixed Ambassador shooting through gates
* Fixed Ambassador not critting during the round win period
* Fixed control point not being named correctly on Arena Sawmill
* Fixed cloaked Spies being able to taunt attack
* Fixed Spy feign death not being reflected in scoreboard
* Fixed Jarate effect on DX8 machines
* Fixed rare crash in Spy "A Cut Above" achievement
* Fixed the backpack icon appearing over the "Could not connect to Steam" message in the client inventory
* Fixed German localization string for respawning players showing %1
I'd prefer some changes to the drop system like:
* You kill for example a spy.
* Then there's a chance of x % that he drops a spy thingy you (and only you) can collect by walking over it.

So like the current one, but less randomly.
