CURRENTLY NOT IN EFFECT

Check out the blog post here: http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=30147

Below is a sneak-peak at some of the changes coming in the next major update. These changes are based on online community discussions, emails, playtime data, conversations with players of all skill ranges, and play testing.

Things to keep in mind:
This is not the complete list of changes. Some items (and classes) are still being worked on, and are not ready for review.
We're going a little deeper on some classes this time (e.g. Scout) and not as deep on others (e.g. Demoman)
This is a work-in-progress; items may change prior to release.



Multi-class

• Panic Attack
  
  • 50% faster switch speed
    
  • 50% more pellets
    
  • 30% less damage
    
  • Fires a wide, fixed shot pattern (regardless of server settings)
    
  • Shot pattern grows with successive shots (e.g. while holding down the attack button), but resets after you stop firing or reload

Spy

• Ambassador
  
  • First-shots are no longer perfectly accurate. Bullet-spread is instead reduced by 50%. This makes head shots less reliable at long range, while still very viable at close and medium-range.
• Dead Ringer
  
  • Ammo kits and dispensers no longer refill the Spy's cloak meter
• Your Eternal Reward
  
  • Removed: "Cannot disguise" penalty
    
  • Added: Non-kill disguises require (and consume) a full cloak meter
    
  • Backstab-based disguises are still free
    
  • Increased cloak drain rate by 50%

Scout

• Sandman
  
  • Long-range ball impacts no longer remove the victim's ability to fire their weapon (but the victim is still slowed)
    
  • Max range balls now do 50% increased damage (from a base of 15)
    
  • The flight time required to trigger the "max" effect has been reduced by 20%
    
  • Ball regeneration time reduced to 10 seconds (from 15)
• Bonk! Atomic Punch
  
  • Apply a slow effect to the player after phasing wears off, based on the amount of damage they absorbed
    
  • From -25% at low damage, to -65% at 200+ damage
    
  • Lasts 5 seconds
• Pretty Boy’s Pocket Pistol
  
  • +15% firing speed
    
  • Up to +7 hp per hit (from +5)
    
  • -25% clip size (9 shots)
• Crit-A-Cola
  
  • Added: Each attack while active adds Marked-For-Death debuff for 5 seconds (does not stack)
    
  • Removed: Marked-For-Death when effect expires
    
  • Removed: +25% move speed bonus
    
  • Removed: +10% damage taken penalty
• The Atomizer
  
  • Triple-jump is now only possible while the bat is deployed
    
  • Removed: Self-inflicted damage when triple-jumping
    
  • Removed: Attack speed penalty
    
  • Added: Melee attacks done while airborne mini-crit
    
  • Added: 50% deploy time penalty (to prevent quick-switch by-pass)
    
  • Reduced damage penalty vs players to -15% (from -20%)
• Flying Guillotine
  
  • Removed: Crit vs stunned players
    
  • Removed: Mini-crits at long range
    
  • Added: Long range hits reduce recharge (by 1.5 seconds)
    
  • Distance considered "long range" reduced by half of the previous value when determining mini-crits

Soldier

• B.A.S.E Jumper
  
  • Reduced amount of air control while deployed by 50%
    Removed the ability to re-deploy the parachute once retracted (until the player lands on the ground again)
• Mantreads
  
  • +75% push-force reduction now includes airblast
    
  • Added: +200% air control when blast jumping

Sniper

• Darwin’s Danger Shield
  
  • Counter ranged burn attacks (e.g. flares), and strengthen melee fights vs Pyros
    
  • Afterburn immunity
    
  • +50% fire resist
• Razorback
  
  • Added: -100% overheal penalty
    
  • Added: Shield regenerates after 30 seconds

Medic

• Vita-Saw
  
  • Added "Organs" collecting concept (... you know, hit someone with a saw, and out pops a vital organ which you then take, and hold). Each hit with the Vita-Saw harvests the victim's organs (shown on the HUD).
    
  • Added: On-death, preserve 15% ubercharge per Organ harvested. This effect caps at 60%.
• Crusader's Crossbow
  
  • Ubercharge gain rate reduced in the same way that the Medigun's healing (and therefore, Ubercharge build rate) is - based on the last time the target was in combat
    
  • Reduced by a third when 1 - 10 seconds outside of combat, and scales up to normal over 10 - 15 seconds

Heavy

• All Miniguns
  
  • The 1-second damage and accuracy penalty now applies to the first second of spun-up time, whether or not the Heavy is firing. Previously, the 1-second damage penalty would only be removed after 1 second of firing.
    
  • Accuracy and damage penalties now reset when the Heavy spins down, rather than when the Heavy stops firing. This means if you stay spun-up beyond one second, and fire in bursts, damage and accuracy will remain at 100%.
• Gloves of Running Urgently
  
  • Added: Max-health is drained while item is active (-10/sec), and regenerated while holstered
    
  • Health will regenerate only the amount drained while active - minus any damage taken during that time
    
  • Each time the gloves are deployed, the drain rate is accelerated for a brief period of time
    
  • Removed: Marked-For-Death effect while active
    
  • Removed: 25% damage penalty
• Eviction Notice
  
  • Added: Max-health is drained while item is active (-5/sec), and regenerated while holstered. Health will regenerate only the amount drained while active - minus any damage taken during that time.
    
  • Removed: 20% damage vulnerability
    
  • Fist of Steel
    
  • Added: 40% overheal reduction while active
    
  • Added: 40% healing rate penalty while active

Engineer

• Rescue Ranger
  
  • Ranged repairs now consume metal (at a 4-to-1 health-to-metal ratio, e.g. repairing 60 damage costs 15 metal)

Hello Saxton Hell inhabitants,

With the end of 2016 approaching in the next couple weeks, I thought that the community would appreciate an official gathering across all of our servers.There has been a decline in activity on a majority of the servers in the past year and a half. I am more than postive that players are missing the friendships and experiences that were made on these servers.

Therefore, I am happy to announce that we will be running an event from Friday December 16th to Sunday January 1st to help kickstart the revival of the Saxton Hell community.

A raffle will also be held until December 25th that can be entered here.[saxtonhell.com]
Prizes will be delivered by the 26th.

We of the Saxton Hell admin team wish you Happy Holidays and hope you will enjoy revisiting your favorite server!
