Yeah, right off the back I chucked a demo grenade at one and blew 'im up in a single shot. That didn't work a couple nights ago. Then, I tried a pyro attack and found myself needing to go at it significantly longer to down other players, plus no "critical hits" for blasting the heavy in the face.
Just found the update list, and they don't mention anything about damage or hit detection, but honestly - who here can say that they didn't change something.....?
Added "Very High" texture resolution option
Added "Minimal HUD" option to Options->Multiplayer
Fixed headshots not always registering for crouched players
Fixed player interpolation bug that caused jittery player animation in some cases
Fixed rare crash when players exited water
Fixed server crash related to Spy sappers
Fixed overlapping UI elements in Options->Video->Advanced
Fixed non-English language text overlapping in a few places
Fixed players being able to use spectator points in dustbowl that were not in play
Removed "listdeaths" command that could be abused by clients
I can say that Pyros feel more "Right." Played with one last night for about 45 minutes, and I found it to carry the right mix of risk vs. reward. It felt similar in power (In its own way) to the other classes I play regularly (Demo, Spy, Sniper) . I think the fire range could be a little longer, though.
Also, the new very high textures, 90 degree FOV and interpolation fixes are very welcome.
I'll second and third all that has been said about the updates.
Surely progress is being made.
Had a great time last night leaving Folding@Home Team 93 spray logo around!
After fiiiiinally getting on!!! Started trying to connect with you guys on the game at 9:00 pm and didn't get in till 11:00 pm or a little later. Hehehe, Played till 4:00 am.. This game is addicting... I think that muscle between my shoulders and neck has just givin up and torn to give me more movement..
Got booted over to the opposing team a couple of times by auto balance and all the other team was Icrontic!!! Thiss!!! Icrontic That!!!! Trying to compensate for their lack of play skill. Not that I'm that good either..
I think they were frustrated about all the {IC} players on the server!!! Hahahah
pigflipper got me a bunch of times last night as well as a bunch of you guys did, when I had to play opposing team. I think I'm getting a little better.
Got a few achievement badges now.
BTW, Nice screenshots prime!! I always love seeing those. even if it's me getting capped.
Oh, And thanks for all the uber health CB!!!
So I clearly need some more work. When I left, mas0n was my nemesis, and three other people were "owning" me. I just can't find the right character or something.
It was fun getting completely mowed down again and again by mas0n's heavy, though.

I'd be whooping all y'alls asses if you guys would happen to choose an east coast server.
The Steam community makes it easy, just click on the person you want to play with in the friends list, and click 'join game'. It'll take you right to the server they are on.

Thats what it seemed like to me. At least the Pyros weren't completely owning me anymore
Not sure they made it official though.
Wait...

Whut!
must be ur isp...i get 40ms and im in the middle of the US
Me too.
How do I find youse guys?
..and I would still be 1.5 thousand miles away while your connection doesn't have to pass through underwater cables and a dozen of states.
In other games I've gotten pings in the 70's from servers in NY but I'd be lucky to find servers with less than 100ms in TF2.

yea i didnt think about the underwater cable factor :o
You guys kick my ass, but still fun.

Can we pwn them?
YES WE CAN!
I blame myself.
What will the strategy be next time we play those maps?
