But everyone can backpedal faster than they can taunt.

It's a 3-5 second taunt >_>

[Siquo]

That means that ONE guy can make an ENTIRE team retreat. Which is an awesome superpower. Even a heavy-medic-uber can't do that, and that's 2 people who need to work together to get that uber. Phlog is a "Solo Fortress" weapon.

In other news, I'm learning sniping on pub servers, and it's fun. We won a koth game with a 50% sniper team. That bad.

[Enzo]

Speaking of snipers, a sniper or a spy can end a Phlog charge in one hit. Really, any concentrated fire can take out a kritz pyro as well, even a single power class with a bit of distance between them. Unless you catch the other team completely off guard (which takes some legitimately skillful maneuvering), the phlog doesn't accomplish too much against players who know how to counter it.

I'm a terrible Pyro who can't airblast so it's a sidegrade for me, but any respectable Pyro I play with wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole.

True dat, but I play on pub servers, and lately make it a sport playing my least-played classes and still trying to end up as #1 On pub servers the Phlog is... devastating.

[Enzo]

I usually pub too, but I regular a server with a couple comp pyros. That is how I got good at spy. Trial by fire, as they say.

But yeah, like a said. Lots of pub players can't understand the concept of strategic retreat...even for three seconds. And again, that's what makes the Phlog fun to use.

[Siquo]

Speaking of servers, now that we don't have our own anymore, on which servers is everyone playing these days?

Aerolitegaming.
'tis my community, and they have neat servers with neat people.
(well, the payload server is neat. 2fort/turbine 24/7, 32 players and instarespawn is a tad less neat )

If they just took away the reduced damage during the taunt, the phlog would be half as bad.

(same goes for backburner, take away 10% extra damage, get non-op weapon. But thats more because 10% extra damage disencourages ambushing. I only see a few new pyro players use the backburner as it was ment, hiding around corners and such. Then they think over the 10% extra damage, and go all w+m1.)

I think I've killed your clanmates quite a few times then... [ALG] is it?

I'll be around

[Duke 2.0]

Hmmm, that Plotighus thing... Pyro Weapon...

A little overpowered is it not? It ignores the pyros ability to take less damage from other pyros and such. Just did a test, he killed me faster then i could kill him with any other pyro weapon...

Nah

Darn thing will get you killed more often than not. You honestly don't need to backpedal with three dudes working on the guy, you'll kill him faster than he can kill one of you. If you are less than three dudes than that is hardly an entire team and plenty of other classes can be that intimidating. If you are reloading/don't see him approach/are distracted with other dudes then congrats, you just got ambushed.

[The Scout]

NCG guys are my group. Most of them are pretty bad, but they're pretty lucky at times.
Airblasting back arrow after arrow has an awesome feel to it. Until you let a team mate die.

[miauw62]

Yup, [ALG].

A old friend from the minecraft freebuild server i used to roam:

Looks like somethings coming up shortly.

[Enzo]

Is this the MvM update, or Meet the Pyro? Because it's about damn time for either of those things.

Mysterious. Very mysterious.

[PTTG??]

Aparently the new "garbage" drops appear every time you get any drop, including gifts. Anyone want to hop on some server? I'll open a big gift thingy so everyone gets at least one.

[Enzo]

So, it's not every time you get a drop. I've received 0, 1, and 2 junk items with various drops. It's seemingly random but very common to get 1 on most drops.

Also thanks for the gift PTTG :3
