>>43438594good surveyeverypony vote responsibly
Finally, we can live in a world where the bison is the best weapon in the game
>>43438594I prefer ammo drops to weapons dropping desu. The question was worded oddly though
>>43438594Not that there’s likely going to be another any time soon but I think some executive decisions can be made on votes for obviously unpopular stuff like item sets to trim down the list
>>43438594Vote for Amby and DR stock.
>>43438594Never played on the server, so I probably shouldn't vote, but sweet Celestia why are half the weapons reverted to a more annoying (to use or fight against) state!?
>>43439182If they weren't there you'd be calling it rigged. No reason not to include everything imo, you never know what people mightve changed their opinions on
>>43438594voted for everything stock except Amby and DR
>>43439236at the very least vote for DR stock, im so tired of this slop
>>43438557
>>43439248Yeah idk, personally i would just prefer we not use any reverts at this point, normal tf2 is balanced well enough and plenty fun, the only thing it really needs is a new weapon rebalance to bring a handful of over-nerfed or redundant weapons back up to par, but you cant really achieve that with just a revert.I wonder if the server would be interested in trying out a full on weapon rebalance plugin.
>>43439299The thing about weapon rebalance plugins is that they're all closed source. Or at least I have been unsuccesful in finding any.>>43439248They really aren't. Half the weapons in the stock game are useless garbage. Reverts just bring them up to par with stock. The only seriously egregious OP weapons imo are reverted DR and beggar's bazooka.
Friendly reminder that filly sprays and human filly sprays (fictional) are a-okay, and not at all messed up like Kike Sparkle tries to say.
>>43439321I think a lot of the reverts I took issue with were near the top. (Buffed black box; just no. Atomizer takes health on jump...just why?)The lower on the list you go, the more is either fine as currently picked, or stuff that doesn't really matter.
And niggers wonder why some of us mute the VC and text chat. The last thread died bitching about pointless namefag drama, and that's all that happens most of the time.
>>43439348Nigger, I will cut off ur penis
>>43438594You’ve already read why I don’t want the Dead Ringer reverted to either of its pre-Gun Mettle states and why the Panic Attack should remain as it is on classes that aren’t the engineer, so I’ll skip the drama unless you want me to post it again.But what I think should happen is perhaps we should have a second poll after this one and determine whether we should have reverts enabled on the server at all, especially since many people may not like what has been chosen by the group. This way, we would be moving ahead with something the majority of the server users agree with.
>>43439348flaremare stop seething
>The free feedback section at the bottom can be used for anything, not just reverts. Don't like the map pool? Don't like the plugins? Don't like Gielnik? Share it!Gielnik is a cutie.
>>43439550After reading this post I regret not calling him a nigger when I filled the form
>>43438594What if we had a second, no-revert server or we relegated the use of weapon reverts to a particular time of the week and make it an event? Maybe we could have something like Weapon Revert Wednesdays in addition to TF2C Thursdays, Mare Friday, etc.
>>43439371I don’t remember a single person bringing up any drama last night lol>muh cake/flaremare Literally no one cared except the two involved, it was never discussed in chat or on voice
>>43439566You can edit your form, Anon. Go back and correct your errors. Call Gielnik the nigger he is.
>>43439591Done
>>43438594Democracy does not work. The Poyim have proven time and time again that, while an ensouled /mlp/tf2er will be rendered sick with himself voting against universal truths, those lacking such scruples will always shamelessly vote for whatever gives the most immediate benefit to themselves with no thought put into the effects this would have on the future. Every /mlp/tf2er knows in their heart and soul that the reverted Ambassador and Dead Ringer are perfectly balanced where they are, but to a large portion of them this means nothing. To them all that matters is what directly benefits themselves, which they stand to gain by disingenuously voting against what is self evident. They would have us dragged back to 100% stock tf2 if they believed it would give them a 1% higher chance of winning each round. Words like "skill issue" mean nothing to them, to them when the only thing tangible is that they are losing and they want to be winning. There's no point in trying to argue in favor of ideals such as "the potential to improve" and "the satisfaction of overcoming adversity" to someone who, existing solely in the material and lacking any divine spark, cannot begin to even begin to fathom that which is not right in front of them. I believe you are making a grave mistake putting the future of /mlp/tf2 into the hands of these "people", Gielnik, especially given their track record.
>>43439624If they're perfectly balanced then why haven't they been in the game for over a decade?
>>43439633compfags
So mare-tts tonight since most people won't be on?
>>43439624You expect me to read all that?
>>43439624Well said psi I agree with the sentiment even as someone who voted every revert but ambassador off
>>43439643In summary, people will vote for what they want best rather than what is in the best interests of the group.
>>43439624>Every /mlp/tf2er knows in their heart and soul that the reverted Ambassador and Dead Ringer are perfectly balanced where they areaaaaand into the trash it goes
>>43439915So you’d rather have spies be immune to backstabs while being unable to run away from pyros? As a spy main, I’d take being able to get away from pyros, since backstabbing another spy happens only rarely.
>>43439919>as a spy mainkill yourself nigger
so how bout that homestuck and deltarune, eh? eh?!
>>43440092I kinda wanna cockvore Noelle.
>>43440100Ok melodic
>>43439624The "benefit" to even joining the server is just having fun. People dont care about winning as much as you think.Having a challenge is fun to me which is why I voted for the most OP form of every weapon.
>>43439624>its actually really fun to be killed by someone using a scopeless rifle the moment your head crosses a choke without a laser warning>its really really fun when you try to retaliate against this person only for them to pop their get out of jail free card and be two cities away in four seconds>The most fun you can have on the server is for both of these things to happen simultaneously all night by the same person until you see at the end of the match said person has double score compared to the person below them>all while not even touching the objective
>>43439915>where they areYes I agree, in vanilla. as in stock.
>>43440234>he believes that the one guy who actually uses the amby is competent with it (he's not)
>>43440252>he thinks this post is about psi
>>43440092Dirk loves dashie so he is based
>>43440256>he thinks
>>43440505look at (you), thinking
>>43439017I got bad news. We've got 30 submissions so far, and Bison is overwhelmingly being voted in favor of remaining nerfed. Same for weapons like Liberty Launcher, Loose Cannon, Blutsauger. But.... some other weapons that are stronger are going to remain strong at the rate the survey is going.The results are a little bizarre at this moment, and I expect them to generate a lot of discussion when they're revealed.
>>43441116Then what is your opinion on having weapon reverts dedicated only to being on particular days of the week or on a separate server? I don’t know how many people are necessarily willing to make that drastic of changes to their gameplay just to play on a pony server.
>>43441156Dumb, we already have a stock vote option for those who prefer stock. There's no reason to omit the revert plugin altogether and go all-stock if we're nor forced to because the plugin presents an option to pick and choose.
>>43441193But it doesn’t seem to present such option, nor has it for the past couple of years or so.Also, the issue here is that many of these reverts have more than two options, so there may be weapons where the most popular option is not one that most people would want implemented, for example, if a weapon with 3 potential reverts had a 34%-33%-33% split over which one to choose.
>>43441209You can't keep everyone happy. No matter what we choose somebody will be sad. Overall the option that allows us to pick and choose among available features is the best one.>for example, if a weapon with 3 potential reverts had a 34%-33%-33% split over which one to choose.I addressed this inside the survey.>A runoff survey will be held later to resolve any ties or inconclusive results. After the runoff survey finishes, the changes will be applied ASAP.
>>43441116>Liberty Launcheryes, the current version is worse than the reverted version, but it's also infinitely more interesting, allowing for combo and semi-trolldier playstyles. the old one is just the very definition of a crutch.
>>43441581>infinitely more interestingDealing 70 damage on direct hit isn't interesting. Boring crutch is better than straight downgrade.
>>43438594when does the servey end?
>>43441602No specific date, it'll end when it stops getting responses. So far they're coming in steadily.
>>43441116I just voted to keep things how they are for weapons I don’t use, because I don’t know anything about them. I voted to make weapons I use stronger. The only thing I voted to nerf were spy weapons (all of them)
>>43441766How many times did they call slurs, our sweet sweet jewish gielnik
>>43441933Nigger, 10 times, kike, 5 times10+5=15
>>43441945I didn't call you a nigger, I said 'Nigga' the friendly vernacular.
>>43441945shame on you all!
>>43441945and how many people actually used that field for real feedback?
>>43441596Boring crutch version of a weapon is worse than that version not existing in the first place, it’s just a net negative when it’s not a one of a kind experience
why can't we get rid of reverts already
if we buff every weapon to the strongest they ever were there will be no problems
>>43442265Late 2013 short circuit is nightmare-inducing.https://youtu.be/9_pTnrap_mQ
>>43442287>>43442265What is the single most overpowered weapon in the entire history of TF2 (and at what point in time was it so overpowered?)
>>43442368Definitely Engineer's old bugged gunslinger where the mini sentry heals itself while building.
>>43442368This >>43442375 because that one youtuber told me so.But also unironically.
>>43442368the dalokohs bar when it was bugged and you could get infinite health https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNeVY_eAxzs
>>43442368pre-release grenade launcher.
>>43442426Pre-release Grenade Launcher does so little damage that Pyro can survive two direct hits.
tf2 in 10 minutes
>>43442368engineer on the console version of tf2. putting a sentry outside the map on every map is something... but I wouldnt call it fun.
>>43442750are you sure
>>43442265>>43442368So how would you be dealing with highly skilled Sandman scouts who could make your game unplayable just because they were able to aim well? What about snipers who were able to afford the Croc-o-Style set and be immune to headshot kills, engineers who never have to babysit their mini-sentries, Bonk scouts with complete immunity to everything you do, and Tide Turner demos who get crits on every swing?
>>43438552>Here's your food, pipsqueak!
>>43442368Probably release sandman. It used to full-stun (like a moonshot) at every range, including point blank range. And it didn't even have an HP penalty.The 2nd most overpowered is release wrangler. But people didn't realize how broken it was until Sigafoo popularized the Sigafoo save technique.3rd most overpowered is probably release Tomislav. It was a guaranteed I win 1v1 gun.
bamp
i think the survey probably should have let you select multiple options for weapons with more than two options to pick from. personally, i don't see the downside of doing it that way.
I think we should find another revert plugin that allows us to pick and choose which weapons get reverted.
I think we should get rid of the revert plugin because it sucks
>>43444548that only makes sense for weapons like the panic attack, claidheamh mor or degreaser that have multiple variations with upsides and downsides compared to each other, with none of them being actively unbalanced. the majority of weapons are not like this. most weapons are a binary decision between a stronger and weaker version. and being able to choose whether i want my disciplinary action to give a speed boost for 2 or 3 seconds does not change how stupid the reverted sandman is.
>>43444632But being able to change whether the Dead Ringer gives a speed boost in lieu of an extra burst damage resistance would be useful, especially if the Dead Ringer’s effects can make or break the ability to play spy with the kunai. But I would prefer that we keep either of the post-Gun Mettle versions for everyone to use, since being able to survive being backstabbed just makes the game unpredictable and unfun.

>>43439624athenians solved democracy ages agojust do it like the atheniansvote yes/no for each proposalif the proposal is accepted by over 50% of votes, put it in the lottery system pooldraw randomly (random here is very IMPORTANT) from this pool once per week and see how it plays out, at the end of the week, swap it for the new one
>>43446438But if we regularly need to revisit the weapon reverts, wouldn’t this only make it even more unpredictable? The Bad Weapon Rehab servers do revisit their own balance mod, but should we bother going down this rabbit hole?
