Team Fortress 9-A Upgrade

Status
Not open for further replies.
There isnt more than one, there is a single 9-A feat that was recalced to 8-C, the rest is literally just upscaling from mid level 9-B attacks that kill them
As stated above feats are very close to 9-A, in fact recently Scott Pilgrim got high 8-C calc which was so close to 8-B that he also got noted 8-B on his profile.

Feat which was recalced as 8-C however is still under at some suspicions of other users, so at bare least evaluation and maybe some other ways (if there is) to calculate feat should be used (especially when no one was strongly against previous calc as far as I saw on this thread).

Most neutral parties and even people who were for upgrading the verse were against using Pyro's calc both on this thread and on the blog itself
 
THERE WAS A RED ******* BOX AROUND IT I'M GETTING SICK OF YOUR F U C K I N G SHIT
Let it go at this rate honestly, Weekly isn't going to acknowledge it regardless of what we say or show to make it as clear as day. Regardless of what they say, its there.

As far as I saw you recalced just explosion but mods here was complaining about the fact that Pyro wasn't really close to explosion...? So what would happen with consideration if distance between Pyro and explosion if mix up your calc and and purpose to consider that distance.

I can certainly factor that in, do we have confirmed heights for classic soldier or classic scout?
 
They don't have confirmed heights as far as i know
but there is probably several shots where their heights can be calced via scaling them to other mercs with known heights
 
It could probably be calced based on pyro or just pyro's gasmask at worst. They both seem to be about the same height.
 
As well as both your message walls, on both the new and old forums, I am also putting this here just for you @WeeklyBattles.

You can not reasonably be believed to have not seen this now. So if you keep pretending it dosn't exist, I am going to take drastic measures.

Again, cool, youre highlighting a value for a calc that came out 4x higher than any other calc for the same weapon when there are five calcs, including the one from the same blog youre taking that scan from, that place the yield of the rocket at .001 tons

It's literally been approved by a Greename Admin. You know, the biggest people on the wiki bar Ant himself.

You should know, you used to have (And take great advantage of) that position.

This does not matter. The .00413 tons end was accepted. The other end is completely irrelevant.

One of the other calcs (my Meet the Soldier one) is incorrect and two others are taken from gameplay, which you claim can't be used. Be consistent.
 
It looks like this explosion from Meet the Soldier is significantly larger than it would seem.

If we look at the file of Meet the Soldier in SFM, at the side, it looks like this:



It's only shown as two explosions in SFM because of the perspective of the camera, and the viewer wouldn't be able to tell it was two since there was a cut in the video. But in Meet the Soldier, it is treated as one explosion, as it is the same explosion that soldier emerges from. (Where would the 2nd explosion have even come from anyways)

If it were to be calced, it would probably be a high end though

If you want i can do a calc based on those if you guys feel the current calc from that clip isnt corrct
 
Okay. I'm probably going to do 2 calcs based off 2 different explosions (I guess both are technically the same, just from different perspectives) than the one you linked from Meet the Soldier. Either way, both of them should net higher results
 
Honestly, Weekly seems right here. I'd like the mercs to be 9-A but the arguments felt very circular the whole thread, and by the third page, it became really tiring to read. For two whole pages the arguments were mostly the same.

I'd be fine putting a "possibly 9-A" if there was several mid-to-high end 9-B feats and a single 9-A, as it certainly doesn't make it impossible or outlandish to assume 9-A in that case. But it isn't.
 
I was asked to comment here... but the thread is already more than 3 pages long.

So is there a summary of things I can get?

Most of the OP has been dropped already, we're currntly down to the recalc of Pyro's explosion feat, which was just approved by the calc team as being 9-B, as opposed to the previous 9-A rating, and discussing rocket feats

Basically, do you think Scout's durability should scale to these rockets, yes or no?
 
From what I can see, Scout is critically injured after that. And it didn't seem like a direct hit given that it sent him flying at an angle. Meaning, that the impact of the explosion sent him flying which wouldn't be the case if the rockets hit him directly.

From the looks of it, I don't think so.
 
He wasn't, though. At a later scene all that can be really discerned is that it knocked out a few of his teeth and knocked him out, and he was already damaged before that point judging by the bandages.

You can see the missles flying right at him and then it cuts off. Scout was already critically injured prior to that
 
I am 100% fine with the mercs being glass cannons, that is what evidence points to so far.

do not try to argue with me weekly. I am not in the mood to deal with your shit.

I mean I agree with you, I'm 100% fine with 9-A heavy weapons and 9-B mercs
 
okay, my bad. Thought they were referring to Heavy since he is referred to as Heavy Weapons Guy.

Also, kind of off Topic, but Medic should get 9-A via Projectile Shield, since it is capable of vaporization like the Cow Mangler. And I guess a "higher via Projectile Shield" on his durability too.

Spy's "Your Eternal Reward" is also capable of vaporization I believe, as it causes the corpse to disappear.

The implication is pretty strongly suggesting that there was an altercation that lead to the grenades going off and the whole place blowing up, which Pyro would have had to tank. If it was some point after that they'd probably just show Pyro actually outside of the building instead of having it stated "oh, there's pyro, in the middle of that massive explosion"
OK... You want the basic knowledge about him: His purpose is literally to get up close and personal and again I can not stress enough see's fire as INOFFENSIVE BUBBLES and as his friend (those who say otherwise get slaughtered horribly), It should not have been just proportional in the slightest.
There is also still the scout feat so
Well yeah but you know "tHeY LiTeRaLly DiE iN A SinGlE sHoT" is going to be brought up, when he was literally injured beforehand and not to forget that we have the same guy launching himself with these in the first place.
