What?

You better not be lying to me. If you are, I swear I will find you and Hunt you do…oh wait, I’m updating too.

nevermind…

Updates!!

Update from Steam…

Anyone who does not have TF2…try it out this weekend!!!

http://www.steampowered.com/goldrush/

Awwwww shiettt guysssss

It looks like the weapon change happens before going into a server…

Is anyone else having a problem connecting to a TF2 Server?
I keep getting something about the server using different class tables…WTF??!

it means the server hasn’t updated yet.

any way I’ve gotten 6 updates so far. I got the 1000000 heal points one right off the bat. Playing medic for so long does have it’s benefits!

Damn man…

Just as I expected, I join a game, and almost everyone is a medic. I said fuck that, and played soldier. And Goldrush is awesome!

It plays alot like Dustbowl…

I really like Goldrush. I’m going to make an annoucement on the srk group… But I think we should try and find a server to get all the achievements out of the way that aren’t like heal 1000000 points or whatever. Okay… So please just reply here with some good dates… I was thinking maybe saturday night like 8:00 Pacific? And then we must find a server.

Achievement Farming announcement posted. If you know a private server that would be easiest as GGPO isn’t updated. But I’m gonna look through all the achievements and make out a plan for the easiest ways to get them when I have a minute. Cool.

lmfao these medic cluster fucks are actually pretty fun. Everybody spams E so they can get the achievement faster hahahahahaahah

My framerate is getting owned hard from goldrush + medics…

Also, anyone else frustrated at the “Second Opinion” achievement? I believe it’s just uber two guys but it doesn’t give it to me…

EDIT: NVM I got it somehow.

I love how Medic is the go-to disguise now for Spies. There are so many now on every server that nobody even questions it.

Also hooray for Spies being able to take teleporters now without the aura/glow.

WHOA

WOW…

…Speaking of spies and medics. If anyone has the crit-uber gun already, do you know what happens if you crit-uber a spy? Will all his stabs be CRITICALS? Would that mean that he would instant-kill everyone? I already tried crit-uber + normal-uber and you can stack them…lol

There is a cvar that will unlock all achievements. It seems Valve forgot to take out the debug haha

It’s all over steam forums and youtube and such if you wanna learn how. You can also PM me for it if you want.

And no, I didn’t use it. I have all 39 achievements, LEGIT:tup:

Camping Engineers are now officially fucked…

Snap… to cheat or not to cheat for these achievements… bites nails

If anything I feel kinda sorry for Valve. All their hard work and it’s just going to be circumvented unless they hotfix FAST.

I may just farm some of the achievements if possible…but the majority I want to try on reg. gameplay.

Has anyone seen if Inv. Uber and Crit. Uber stack?

what is this cvar and how do i use it?

Seriously though, had a lot of fun playing goldrush last night, even if there were a few too many medics. I actually noticed a drop in the number on any given team after about 12:30 EST. I managed to rack up a good dozen bonesaw’ings on rival medics in the time I managed to play last night. Trying to figure out how to get the uber 2 people at once achievement. Goldrush seems fun, and its entertaining, but it plays very much like dustbowl. It seems that after each checkpoint, there is a period where you just run up to the next area and the game doesn’t really take advantage of the “fight EVERYWHERE” on the map mentality as much as I originally thought it would; that cart moves when you have 5 or 6 people standing on it.

I like how they give Red more ways to get behind you. Seems like defensive spies can have a bit more fun on this map than some of the others; plenty of blind spots and weird corners no one really checks. I think it was round 2 or 3 where I noticed the first thing that kind of aggravated me about Goldrush though. There’s a steep incline that blue rushes out of, basically a deep looking version of blue’s spawn entrance on Dustbowl round 2. It was my first time playing the section and I fortunately had Demoman. The rest of the team that wasn’t Medic was demo/pyro/engie.

We destroyed them even worse than I’ve seen on Dustbowl 2. Sure, everyone can say “well, they could’ve just sat in the spawn and built up ubers.” Sure, they could’ve. You can do that on Dustbowl 2 as well, but it’s hard to organize 12 random teammates on a public server. Sure, there is a left exit like on Dustbowl, and it’s actually pretty good for flanking, but when you have 2 demos and a pyro just sitting outside your spawn with another 3 outside the ramp spamming the corridor with stickies–well, sometimes you just get screwed.

It’s not that I think such tactical chokepoints need to be changed or removed, but I find it to be really advantageous on public servers for the defense. I’m sure anyone who’s played the map knows the spot I’m talking about. You don’t even have to look at what you’re doing and you can score random kills with the occasional crit. I’d love to see what kind of havoc a crit ubered two demo combo could accomplish there. Overkill.

Anyway, map seems good, but that were the two things that stood out the most to me that likened Gold Rush to Dustbowl.

Edit: I read on the steam commnity forums that reg uber and crit uber do stack. Maybe that means you can do the ungodly team of 2 uber medics, a crit uber medic and a Pyro or Heavy. Crit uber and reg. uber hit the offensive guy, 2nd uber medic hits the crit uber medic, and you have an invincible quartet ready to take out whoever. Then the medics with the bonesaws are swinging at any stragglers with the ubersaw to score a 2nd round of fuck-you-in-the-ass.

It’d be difficult to organize, but it would be a godly fucking tactic.

I tested this and so did Magnetro and yes you can.

Also I like the new animations and voices that came with this patch.

ALSO BIG NOTE TO ANYONE WHO DOESN’T HAVE TF2!!!

this friday starting at 12:00pm pst (I think) is the start of the free tf2 weekend. Come get some!

Wild Kitty: IS that your steam name? Did I play you?

Well I did it. >_< I don’t even play medic very often so I figured why not. I feel bad. :sad:
