Trickjumpers for beta testers.

The primary difference in FF at the moment is the chaining dynamic is slightly different than TFC. A flat ground drop conc is a bit more powerful in the horizontal and a bit less in the vertical, but subsequent held concs while in the air don't provide quite the same additional velocity.

However, the conc radius is slightly increased, and because of this, very skilled trickers can get a significantly larger boost off of them if they time it very well. I would say this aspect is improved from TFC, as the skill curve is just a bit higher in the timing department for hardcore players. There is more room at the upper end of the skill spectrum, which should work out quite nicely.

I'm not certain if mirv coded them that way on purpose or if it just randomly turned out better. At any rate, you honestly have nothing to worry about, and you shouldn't assume that the dev team is so unfamiliar with the TJ community. Some of us have been around a looooong time.

That's assuring to hear .

Lost: I'd have to send you a demo... but it's starting off with an HH, and then doing another HH in the air. Usually done by laying two on the ground, HHing third, throwing fourth up as you're going up and holding fifth. If you time it right, the fourth will fall below you and then you'll be able to HH the 5th for more height.

Makes it a lot easier to do the last jump on 2v2.

I love to conc. I love to play. If I must choose between the two, I will choose play But it is still nice to know we don't have to make such a choice

Speaking of playing, insert randomly phrased "I WANNA PLAY!!" comment <>here</>.

Also with the addition of trimping and double jumping, we'll definitely see interesting new jump maps. The velocity add from a well timed trimping hand held conc jump is going to be fun for mappers to build off of.

I remember playing with schtoofa on IOD's server like 8 years ago, forever indeed!

i have been retired from tfc gaming for quite some time now, but last i checked vi disbanned do i stand corrected?

[o_zsilver_fox]

I don't think so. Hell, a few months ago I saw TopHat[x] wearing a vi tag.

/me votes rizzo for Beta-team.

Come on, I want to see something interesting for a change

edit: before you ask what "interesting" means
It means a) TeamFortress b) fast c) looks like luck d) fast

[o_rizzo]

Not possible they hate me ;<<<

[o_darksoul]

bastid rizz is what we call him

[o_rannibunny]

You have no idea what you're talking about.
I'm the one who's hated.

I expect people to have to log in when FF finally outs and if you log in as rannibunny (aka wrong login) you can't download anything, don't even see a notice about the release...

That's what I'd do.

[o_rizzo]

I know what im talking about! But anyway pointless since i cant even run HL2 atm, need to buy new gfx card murmur

Pfft, yeah, some of the devs are so old school they played TF with moon shoes, paintball guns, and nerf bats.

You're gonna want a DX9 card if you can do your best to get one.

Concmap_r yeh

but other high skilled concmaps , you wish

Needed to add one :P I'm not only an elitist tard by mind ;D I have done quite a few high skilled concmaps quite fast such as.. Vi3, under 6 mins as nn sol concmap_exist, 9 minutes as nn sol.. Well you get my point /flex e-penis

[o_rannibunny]

okay, let's have wetmule as tester.
I don't care who does it (if you insist, I'll do it :-p ) but _please_ release a new movie soon and _please_ show us concing (HH and non-HH) and bunnyhopping ("topspeed", max-turnrate, "how it looks not to trimp down a ramp, especially on 2fort spiral (OUCH, bumped my head again)" and Openfire (man, I really hate spawning on the long resupp...), "land after a conc and see how fast you are", acceleration, whatever I forgot)

[o_thewetmule]

Yeah, gogo me as test0rz (/sarcasm) I'd be terrible as a tester, I can't do concing overly exceptionally :P Sol is meh main point I can demo tooz and ctf? Rather not explain TK GOD GOGO!

I've got a 6800 LE now, but while installing better fan some part (prob. memory resistor) just dropped from there D; now i get this legendary black screen bug on HL2 after few mins of playing, although havent tried overclocking/underclocking it yet so it might get fixed but bleh, tfc works its enough =D

If i cant fix it im probably gonna get 7600 GS it was pretty cheap

I see, I thought you might have been using an old POS like I used to, hehe.

yeah seriously

dystopia v1 is coming out next week and there hasnt been any real news since that media update

[o_ivaqual]

come on cut the devs some slack.. yeah keeping people in touch with the development is their weakness but they have made huge efforts regarding that since january, i as much as the next person would love to see a vid but hey.. i'm sure they too know that people want to see shit

That's the whole reason why I'm pissed right now.
I don't want to see any more shit but I finally want to find out if what I really want to know.
Everything there is about movement.

edit: Sorry for sounding like a real asshole right now, happens sometimes ^_^
