A Well deserved nerf :P
Joining servers where half the people were demoman was a little silly... hopefully this will help.

It's a nerf?
I play a lot of demoman and I wasn't even sure what this patch note meant, and I've not noticed a difference either.

What used to happen?

[Tsung]

Pryo's rock now, they cause so much damage / grief to the other side.. :). Heck in 2fort I was easierly capturing the flag as a pryo (then again the other side didn't have any real defence!). Demomen are the bane of my existance, I cannot ever seem to kill them except up close and personal with Pryo's. There will be more updates to TF2 as they sort out the bugs / tweak the classes. This is turning out to be the most enjoyable game I play at the moment.

[swarfega]

with funny quips too!

Hmm bit concerned tbh at the number of peeps now playing pyro and frying engies etc instantly...

[Lucifa]

Yeah they are lethal now at close range, especially thin corridors like you get in dustbowl.
Good in a way, that's what they designed the pyro to be - next to useless out in the open and very dangerous in closed areas (or ambushing).

[Nivek]

pyro's are utter win against scout rushes

[Lucifa]

It's a beta, there's going to be lots of updates :)

[MinT]

If you are doing the update tomorrow does that mean servers will be empty again 2nite then ?

[Lucifa]

Zhardoum doesn't work for multiplay if that's what you meant, he owns a cyber cafe in Ibiza :)

[MinT]

Heh - okay. Well hope we dont get the problem we had at the weekend :)

There was an update last night that killed servers until they themselves updated. :( I only know cos mine updated then on joining server it told me the server files were older than mine and dumped me out of game. Sorted now anyway thankfully.
