[Psychopath]

This build menu dispute has got be among one of the dumbest I've heard.

So much energy invested in discussing something that's so ultimately trivial.

3:19 PM - [FAUCᴱT] Psychopath: One thing that I wanted to do was make it so alt-fire would toggle "build mode"
3:19 PM - [FAUCᴱT] Psychopath: kinda like the infiltrator's cloak
3:19 PM - [FAUCᴱT] Psychopath: and then just clicking primary fire while in build mode would build/destroy
3:19 PM - [FAUCᴱT] Psychopath: instead of the shotgun
3:19 PM - [FAUCᴱT] Psychopath: seems more intuitive that way to me
3:19 PM - [FAUCᴱT] Psychopath: less accidents

When he enters build mode he will hold a tool box.
If he has a sentry already built, he'll instead hold a cartoony dynamite plunger.
If he has no sentry or enough metal build them, he'll just look at his watch when he's in build mode.

Could someone sprite that?

Easier to just give him a PDA. 1 item for both functions. Like xbox tf2.

Why does "make it a plugin" seem to be the magical copout now? Some things deserve to be resolved within the actual game.

I'm going to make a forum poll to gauge opinion

Then I'll see whether that's a valid answer

Why more polls

[notajf]

Why more polls

Want to gauge opinion

[CobaltBW]

Maybe we should all just shut the fuck up for now and actually let this sink in for a week or two so we have more time to come to a consensus.

[Orpheon]

Read posts, gives much better idea of opinions.

Not really, only the most vocal have written long posts

[Intel Guard]

Uh, no. If you don't think reading posts is a better method of gauging opinion than a cut and dry poll, I'd reconsider your philosophy as developer

[Meower]

This is just like that Launchpad McQuack and that other einstein lookalike thing I've heard about, ajf

Shit like polls doesn't fly over well constructed opinions or even just opinions

[NAGN]

Uh, no. If you don't think reading posts is a better method of gauging opinion than a cut and dry poll, I'd reconsider your philosophy as developer

fyi intel guard, he isn't a developer. None of us are technically at least.

tbh i thought that the removal of the sentry build menu was unnecessary and is now causing arguments over preference
if you had the quick switch option ticked in tf2, you could instantly switch weapons by pressing 1-4.
it's not like pressing 4->1 (to build a sentry) or 4->2 (to build a dispenser) in tf2 was difficult, m2->1 and m2->2 is even easier in gg2

people barely mentioned that the build menu was inconveniencing them in the past, but now it's inconveniencing people?
i'm not with or against the new change since i never play builder, just putting out my thoughts regarding the recent issues over menu vs. no menu

[NAGN]

the issue is that people accidently destroy their sentries, I guess... people also accidently manvich too...

[CobaltBW]

Because people are still used to the way the building/destroying worked before. A week or two from now, I'll bet everyone will have adjusted and this won't be an issue anymore.
