Jump to: navigation, search

This page is for suggesting new tips to be added to the project, or changes to the tips already in the Final page. Tips here will be regularly reviewed and, if of sufficient quality, will be moved to the Final page; tips not of quality will be left for editors to improve.

Formatting

Changes

When suggesting changes to current tips, include the existing full line from Final page, and your modified line below - this allows for easy comparison of your changes and for easy replacement within Final page.

*  "Tip_1_1"     "As a Scout, jump while in mid-air to change direction and avoid enemy fire."
**  "Tip_1_1"     "As a Waffle, invent a Dispenser to shoot chickens on the moon."

New tips

For new tips, simply suggest the tip's text - not adhering to tf_english formatting - this will be implemented if a tip is accepted into Final page. Feedback on new tips, or changes to them, should be given on a new line below the tip. Sign tips and responses to tips to make it easier to keep track of changes.

Scout

Soldier

  • "Tip_3_1" "As a Soldier, you can rocket jump to great heights by simultaneously jumping and firing a rocket at the ground."
  • "Tip_3_6" "As a Soldier, a crouch-jump will increase your rocket jump height!"
  • "Tip_3_11" "As a Soldier, angle your rockets slightly behind you to propel yourself forward faster!"
    • "Tip_3_1" "As a Soldier, you can use rockets to alter your jump, the angle of trajectory in which your rocket impacts will change your speed and velocity. Crouching will also increase your distance." - 6vKcd.pngnixshadow (t|c) 21:45, 15 September 2011 (PDT)
      • I feel these three can be condensed into one.- 6vKcd.pngnixshadow (t|c) 21:41, 15 September 2011 (PDT)
        • I wonder if this could be simplified, "the angle of trajectory in which your rocket impacts will change your speed and velocity" - this seems a bit of a mouthful for a tip. -RJ 02:16, 17 September 2011 (PDT)
          • How about, "Simultaneously Jump-Crouching and shooting a rocket behind you would propel yourself forward further and faster, while Simultaneously Jump-Crouching and shotting a rocket right at the ground below you would propel you high into the sky."chongy 07:12, 18 September 2011 (PDT)
            • Not really a fan of that either. :s Perhaps "As a Soldier, you can rocket jump to great heights or distances by simultaneously jumping and firing a rocket on nearby surfaces; crouching as you jump will increase the energy you gain from the rocket." -RJ 07:30, 18 September 2011 (PDT)
              • Although I still feel it could be condensed a bit more (that's quite long.) That is much better. - 6vKcd.pngnixshadow (t|c) 23:37, 18 September 2011 (PDT)
                • I'll leave this one a couple more days as it is a bit long, and I'm not a huge fan of it's wording; however I can't really think of how to adjust it. -RJ 05:57, 21 September 2011 (PDT)

Arena tips

  • "Tip_arena_2" "With no healthkits present on the map, Medics are invaluable in Arena mode. Protect them at all costs."
    • "Tip_arena_2" "With many maps lacking healthkits, Medics are invaluable in Arena mode. Protect them at all costs."--Focusknock 06:31, 21 September 2011 (PDT)

New tips

Scout

  • "As a Scout, you can combine the Atomizer and Force-A-Nature to achieve four consecutive jumps."
    • The FaN jump isn't technically a "jump", so I'm a bit iffy as to how this is worded - newbies reading the tip might interpret as meaning you can mash spacebar 4 times. -RJ 22:01, 15 September 2011 (PDT)
      • Gonna leave this one open for suggestions, see if anyone has a better way of phrasing it. -RJ 06:14, 21 September 2011 (PDT)

Soldier

  • "As a Soldier, the Righteous Bison can hit the same enemy multiple times, and will hit more on enemies who are moving away from you. Use it to punish retreating enemies!"
    • "Will hit more" throws me off from accepting this, really don't like how that's written. -RJ 22:01, 15 September 2011 (PDT)
      • * "As a Soldier, the Righteous Bison can hit the same enemy multiple times, and will hit the most times on enemies who are moving away from you. Use it to punish retreating enemies!" -RJ 06:14, 21 September 2011 (PDT)

Demoman

Engineer

  • "As an Engineer, be careful when using your Widowmaker near your Dispenser. If you are not careful, you will quickly deplete your Dispener's ammo reserve!"
    • "As an Engineer, be careful when using your Widowmaker near your Dispenser - it can easily deplete your Dispenser's ammo reserve!" -RJ 22:01, 15 September 2011 (PDT)
      • Hm, I was just about to add this; and then I changed my mind - people could use it to grief; adding it as a tip only increases how it can be used for mischief. -RJ 02:37, 17 September 2011 (PDT)
        • I'd like to hear other folks opinion on this one... It's a good tip, but is my concern justified enough to not accept it as a tip? -RJ 06:14, 21 September 2011 (PDT)

Medic

  • "As a Medic, if you need to heal a lot of patients on battlefield in no time, consider using Quick-Fix. But don't forget, that you will lose invulnerability with it."
    • "As a Medic, the Quick-Fix is worth using if multiple patients need healing within the same timeframe. Remember, though, that your ÜberCharge does not grant invulnerability, but instead an increased heal rate and immunity to knockback forces." User RagnarHomsar Userlink.png RagnarHomsar 23:22, 15 September 2011 (PDT)
      • "As a Medic, the Quick-Fix heals teammates much faster than it's alternatives, at the expense of it's ÜberCharge; it is worth using when you need to keep numerous teammates buffed." - other Medic tips use "Teammates", not "Patients" - we should use "Teammates" for consistency. -RJ 02:37, 17 September 2011 (PDT)
        • I don't think this is a bad tip, but I'm not too keen on my wording... will leave it here for suggestions for a few more days. -RJ 06:14, 21 September 2011 (PDT)

General

  • Try to remember where health and ammo packs are located in each map. You might need them during or recovering from the fight.--Focusknock 06:21, 21 September 2011 (PDT)
