Pyro Achievements.

I ride the short bus when it comes to achieving achievements. I cannot get the lumber jack achievement (kill 3 people with the axe in one life) and the one after that (kill 6 or 9, I can't remember).

Anyone want to help, or *shudders* does anyone know any good maps that could... help this along?

I vote against putting any achievement box maps on the server.

That being said, several of us got together on the ToJ server tonight on dm_fortress and knocked out a few of the easier Pyro achievements. Elihu and I got our Flare Guns tonight, w00t!

When the server's empty or sparsely populated, I don't mind switching the map to dm_fortress to help members and regulars knock out a few simple achievements.
 
And we really should have a achievement night...will have to try and organize something soon.
 
We at FDG had an achievement night and got all 3 weapons in about 30 minutes of trying. These are much easier to get than the medic ones, since you don't have to get them all to reach milestone 3.
 
I got the flare gun the first night, and those lumberjack ones were some of the ones for it. (the 2nd is 6). I got it on the toj sever i think, it was about 6 of us just playing around goldrush and went for a couple "melee only" rounds. That is one way to get them, and is the only way I even would without farming.
 
Heh, I was on when that happened Zanthox. That was fun. I managed to get both of the axe achievements, though most likely because it was melee only. xP I just managed to get the flare gun tonight.
 
I went to some questionable achievement servers and knocked out a bunch, including the 50 heavies, the 3 and 6 kills with the axe (those two I did with no help against REAL enemies... since no one was achieving on the achievement server...) and the kill 10 people underwater.

I need one more to get the better flame thrower.
 
Update: I have achieved the upgraded flamethrower, I didn't know it could not do the puff of air thing. Interesting.

Anyhow... I look forward to our next scrimmage /evilgrin.

:D
 
I can't stand the backburner... don't like weapons that bonus health and put crits when positioned right (which is way to often I might add)
 
Honestly, they pyro needs a nerf. The backburner doing instant crits from behind and giving the pyro more health than a solly is just wrong.
 
I like the HP buff, but being more than a Soldier is a bit silly. Maybe 50% better crit rate from behind is more adequate? Dunno, its hard for me as it is my favorite class, lol.

I finished getting all three weapons, and I only needed help killing X amounts of soldiers, surprisingly. I did the lumberjack and most of the others on my own.

/glee!
 
I agree totally. The backburner either needs to have the crit rate substantially lowered or lose the health boost. I'd be okay with the 100% crit rate if there was no health boost, but giving the pyro more health than everyone but the heavy is not right.
 
just a side note: does anyone know if you can create a server that disables the inventory, so you have to play with stock items?
 
was just thinking that there may be purest out there that want to play without the achievement unlockables.
 
honestly, i think one thing that would make the back burner a lot more fair is if they added a side effect : the pyro's movement is reduced by 25% while using it ... or something like that.


EDIT: or at least, while they are shooting fire, their speed is dramatically reduced.
