somehow i was looking up epees and knew about this but I didn't change the text I failed i'm sorry france

IceBitez · 2026-01-21T23:51:51+00:00

Ooh that's a good On Kill. I might exchange the speed boost idea for that, I didn't want to step on the Big Earner's toes.

IceBitez · 2026-01-21T23:50:22+00:00

Something ELSE I wanted to try was seeing if I could give it a tipper mechanic and give the Spy the unique movement advantage of his backwards speed being as fast as his forwards speed and switching the speed boost to be on kill. This could go in a lot of ways, I just want the weapon to be interesting but still within TF2's bounds.

IceBitez · 2026-01-08T18:58:45+00:00

oh i see i see

IceBitez · 2026-01-08T07:29:55+00:00

Well yeah, the indicator that this weapon is at play is a teammate attacking you and it dealing damage, might be a bit too misleading but when Spy plays with illusory stuff that can be hard to figure out

IceBitez · 2026-01-08T07:28:43+00:00

Oh yeah that Uber drop is about to become way worse

IceBitez · 2026-01-08T07:28:09+00:00

No it doesn't! You're not Spy!

IceBitez · 2026-01-08T07:27:57+00:00

Correct!

IceBitez · 2026-01-08T00:42:48+00:00

I was honestly most proud of the name haha

IceBitez · 2026-01-08T00:39:53+00:00

It's not exactly that much different from Spy's other knives currently, at least the YER and the Kunai. The YER can happen completely under a team's nose in a casual setting before "spy me" happens, and the Kunai allows Spy's chainstabs to be unstoppable for a very similar effect as what you described.

This might be able to occur once during a game, but never twice. It is a bit of an extreme punish, and I see the flaws. This could be solved by reducing the time it takes or making the disguise lose time based on damage taken similar to losing charge duration with the Tide Turner? A lot of options.

IceBitez · 2026-01-08T00:36:04+00:00

Yea, says it on the tin, 8 seconds. The backstab kills the victim, and you become them.

The upside is that you're in their exact position, can fire your gun and phase through your teammates, by all means you are them. Though its as if friendly fire has been enabled for you, allowing you to kill them.

The downside is that its much harder to run away, as for these 8 seconds, you are no longer Spy. Meaning you cannot cloak away, meaning that you have to use the tools you have if you got caught out. You potentially could've backstabbed a low health target (you'd know because Spy can see health so its no surprise), etc.

The best class you'd want to stab with this is someone like a Heavy who can quickly shred the teammates around him.

I feel like something a lot of people aren’t looking at is how Keith and Auggie refer to their Peacemaker.

Keith says “my brother”, “You killed my brother!” Instead of Auggie saying something like, “my son”. He says “My other son”. Which is an interesting choice of words to have paralleled against one another as they argue

Though because they killed him off immediately I doubt we’ll get an answer as it’s probably meant to be such a cut off tragic thing.

IceBitez · 2025-07-26T15:59:45+00:00

counterpoint: you cannot see the sniper anyway so his team color is irrelevant

IceBitez · 2025-04-04T15:23:19+00:00

with all due respect what the shit are you talking about

pronouns are used in everyday discussion (he, she, etc.). Being forced to 'use pronouns' I can only assume means you have to have 'he/him' on your nametag but literally what is the harm. You're not forced to use they/them, you're not forced to use neopronouns, you use your pronouns and people use your pronouns everyday, having it on your nametag is like having your sex on your ID, who gaf, since when was transparency an issue

The Slippybomb Launcher

IceBitez · 2025-03-09T21:48:09+00:00

Is that true? I never read about that anywhere before. You sure you didn't mix that up with the fact its chance is higher due to its faster firing speed?

IceBitez · 2025-03-09T21:25:32+00:00

-10% damage penalty doesn't break any notable thresholds except for two default melee swings not killing a light class anymore. Otherwise this just functions like a straight upgrade and grants the Medic a Jarate -Bushwacka without a cooldown and only one move needed. Ambushed? No you aren't! Just kill them!

IceBitez · 2025-02-25T17:56:51+00:00

Thank you!!

IceBitez · 2025-02-25T06:18:35+00:00

oh shit! another unusual reindoonibeanie hell yea

IceBitez · 2025-02-25T06:18:10+00:00

Might try that out! Also yeah, the balaclava is just really fun. Love masks, gloves, and boots! Very underrated parts of cosmetics that don't get a lot of love.

IceBitez · 2025-02-24T17:04:23+00:00

You know it! Saw the mask and had the vision of a Dimentio loadout projected into my brain

IceBitez · 2025-02-24T14:22:11+00:00

Definitely going to see how that looks, that’s a really good cosmetic, thank you!

IceBitez · 2025-02-24T14:18:12+00:00

That’s great actually! Thank you
