    I'm not saying I agree with it, but I understand why they did it.

    This is the area they are talking about right? (sorry for the bad picture, gaming sites are blocked at work for some reason)

    Oooooh man :-/ I've never seen stage 3 successfully defended without having an engie nest there...

    I interpret that as fixing a glitch related to building inside the exit *door* to the alternate exit route, the one which locks after 3.1 is taken by blue. Has anyone confirmed this? It really seems unlikely to me that they'd consider disabling building in that whole upper area a "fix" when it's been there since day 1 and everyone uses it.

    I didn't think this was a big deal, until I realized the spot they were talking about. I gotta agree with @primesuspect. Which is kind of saying a lot, the entire 3rd stage defense is built around that single spot.

    I have a question, did that defense pretty much mean you were able to defend it 90% of the time?
  • d3k0yd3k0y Loveland, OH Icrontian
    Yup! It was pretty annoying, I know it is too easily of a defend-able location, but as the same time where else can you set up without having 7 different ways to get around it.

    No. The first point only gets held like 25% of the time in my experience, and there's a sentry (or 2) there nearly 100% of the time. A solid uber or 2 will almost always break it.

    Whoa. I really hope Linc is right about the interpretation of that fix. That would really limit engie options on defense.

    The Reddits are saying it is just at the door. My bad for the misunderstanding.

    No worries. I thought the same thing too when I read it.

    Given how old this game is I'm pleasantly surprised that they're still making level updates (however small).

    Figured a new thread wasn't necessary.

    That's going to hurt our quintuple sentry fort.
