Whenever a spy starts sapping my stuff and I'm far away, I've always just blown it up. But recently when I bring up the explosion menu, and press '1' the game will select weapon 1, instead of blowing up slot 1.

Is this my computer being retarded, or did they change it so you can't blow you're shit up anymore?
 
You can no longer detonate buildings that are being sapped.

It was in the patch notes last week :p
 
whats the point of destroying if it would be destroyed anyways?
omg they will get points!!!!!

that's actually really gay.

Why didn't they make it so if a character kills himself while on fire, the pyro still gets points for it?

Cause I do that too if I'm not going to make it.



God that really frustrates me you can't detonate your buildings. The spy gets such an undeserved sense of self satisfaction for attacking your defenseless buildings when you aren't there. And I refused to let him have it. If I keep getting upset about it, maybe I'll start changing classes...that'll blow them up.
 
Nope, read the notes. Buildings now blink out instead of blowing up.

well that's fine to, the point being the spy wouldn't get those points.

That's a bit extreme though, I'd have to really be getting upset to change classes.
 
You would. And when spies sap my shti I'm more 'I should build them better' than 'FCKU'.
 
err, maybe you should read the notes.

they used to blink out, now they detonate.
 
It also doesn't get rid of your buildings until you switch to the other class so you have to wait for the respawn.
 
Yeh, thats good, I hate idiots who just destroy their teleporters just because they are so far away from their buildings that they won't be able to save them and kill me.
 
You guys who kill yourselves to deny people points, or blow up buildings to deny people points, etc, etc... you're all fags.

And I don't mean that you're gay. I mean you're douches, dickheads, bastards, dickwads, etc.

Can't you let us have our fun? :D

If you kill yourself while on fire, it says "(pyro) finished off (you)"
 
If you're not near your sentry or building, the spy deserves to get the points. He did his job. It's your fault for being away from your buildings. Of course it doesn't apply in quite the same way for one or the other teleporter, but you have to expect one to die.

It actually means he was smarter than you.

Detonate + rebuild a new tp immediately is a good strategy and saves time.
 
But the majority of people who did it were just being pussies who couldn't let enemy Spies get points that they deserve.
 
Logically it doesn't make sense to be able to remotely detonate a sapped building anyway.
 
TF2 has never been bound by 'logic', just gameplay.
