Engineer Class Limits

Vital wrote:I believe 2 engies seem plenty to me, instead of having 3 which is pretty much overkill, 2 would make it sort of challenging to the engies themselves if they were on the same team and actually communicating. We reduce the Heavy limit and Sniper limit because they were the only class that actually are a very OP class in game when there's minimal of ppl. Now that the engie update has came out, and it's a popular class only because of the new items, the engie has now become a class that can kill snipers, heavies, and any class that can't slip through the defense of the sentry.
Also the way engies work is when you got 3 engies, one can move it stuff forward very easily because it's a level 3 Sentry that's been upgraded since spawn and the other 2 engies can sit back and defend that 3rd engie. With 2 engies, it causes a challenge for both of the engies and would make a demoman or spy a valuable class again to take out the engie who's defending that 2nd engie trying to make a push with his level 3 sentry.
Since the Engie update, I have not seen the group of noob engie work alone, they're always working together in upgrading the buildings and covering each other back, so sapping there things would take awhile before the buildings actually die out when you have 3 engies banging on each other buildings.

But i did notice the gamepace was a bit more back to normal yesterday compared to the days before. Also don't forget that when we limit it to 2 a team could still have more then 3 engineers because of a donator going engie. So i think limit of 2 is best for now and maybe even 1 in the future.

I don't think Valve took our wide open orange map into account when making the wrangler. I won't be surprised if they nerf the shield absorption % down a bit.

Also i get the feeling with all those lasers going on it decreases the fps of mid and low end computers a bit? Or it just might be me.

Yeah, since the update my FPS went down to 15 on orange instead of 50. Google's it and got to the steam forums. Just delete your TF folder and everything should be fine. No re-download either n.n
