People being mad over a robot.

yes because it would be even if it damaged and it would take 1 hp damage for it to be a weapon for battle engienners if it dose not happen im fine with it being a cosmetic

HELL no

No, just no

I'm sorry but we don't need more following cosmetics. Botler already caused a stir and god knows what will happen if another one gets in.

ЛЯ БРАТАН !!!!

please no, no more of these stupid pets

Can't wait to hear the Botler 2000 conversation/complaints returning if this gets in. You still did good work tho!

It looks like D-0 from one of the Star Wars Sequel movies.

@Kingkrool94 I can't imagine it panning out that way, but I could be wrong. I suppose it would have to be tested. Not that that is easy. I still believe even if people were confused and shot at it, the Engineer would still be close to it, and take damage, or would at least be the main target before the sentry, though. If this is a criticism though by a lot of people, then I guess regardless of if it confuses people or not, it probably would warrant a redesign.

FuFu, you seem not to understand that humans have motion-based vision. If something moves, you'll look at it. The only things in TF2 that move are people, sentries, and things of importance (doors, trains, intelligence, carts, etc). Let's pretend that you're new to the game. You know nothing about cosmetics or crates. So when you're playing the game and you see this thing moving around, looking like a sentry, acting like one. You will shoot it, you will be confused and unfairly put at a disadvantage. Sure you may fooled once, but that doesn't mean that this is acceptable. no cosmetic should ever give you a advantage.

this would 100% fuck with new players but it's still very cute, almost makes me wish it was an actual weapon and not a cosmetic

Pet cosmetics are really gay

@Thiagaval, I don't think this would be very confusing, it probably is distinct enough from the actual sentry guns, and the fact that it is near the Engineer means whether or not you shot at it because of a sentry gun, or to kill the Engineer, an Engineer is still going to die, or at least take damage. And the fact that the cosmetic itself would be moving around would be a very easy giveaway that it is a cosmetic. I could be wrong though. I just don't see experienced players being confused by this. Plus new players would be too fresh and inexperienced to notice this cosmetic and think it's a sentry gun. If it's not shooting at them, they won't see it. By the time they are experienced enough to see it, they would be able to distinguish it from the real sentry guns in the game. I am glad though this cosmetic would be Engineer exclusive, you wouldn't see a lot of it.

yeah no.
making items that don't stylistically fit TF2 is one thing, but making items that fuck with the gameplay have no place in the game, period.

How do I put this? If you see a sentry of the enemy team, you take cover and corner peak it. But what happens when it's not a phisical object? You get killed by the engineer wearing the cosmetic because you were shooting thin air. This is nothing more and nothing less then more moving shit the player has to ignore. It's too easy for someone who doesn't know everything there is in the game to confuse this for a threat and not a cosmetic.

i lolve tf2

I wish we still got new weapons because a turret pet that follows the Engie would be peak

I say let new players be confused.

The only time I ever see people get confused by cosmetics is that one pyro loadout that obscures team recognizable colors.

I never found the waiter bot pet distracting but this one feels like it's pushing it. At a glance in battle it looks like it'd be very easy to think it's a real mini. Maybe if it was a heavily stylized dispenser or a toolbox or some other engi-related tech thing it'd be fine, but as is it just looks way too much like an actual building.

It'd also confuse the fuck outta new players too probably lol

t hese guys dont understand what it means to be a brat

@fufu i think this one would be WAY to confusing, the fact that it basically is a sentry on wheels, if i saw this next to an engineer i would absolutely believe its an actual sentry and not a cosmetic

I don't mind the idea of a few pet type cosmetics, however they should be pretty exclusive and uncommon in new crates. This one isn't offensive, and for a cosmetic that only Engineer has, it's not bad, and fits something he might make. I just hope people don't start making a ton of these. I personally think the robot waiter was a bad attempt at it, but this one isn't so bad.

really cool!

absolutely fucking not. so tired of these stupid fucking pet cosmetics

Honestly my only complaint is the same as the one I had for the R-Cat a decade ago; I wish it was an actual turret replacement as opposed to just a cosmetic, because it looks like it would make for an interesting playstyle that calls back to the Recon Droid of SWBF (04).

You know. After the waiter bot cosmetic, I don't think we need these as the norm. This shouldn't be a thing. Please don't make following pets like in Roblox.

if you don't like funny cosmetics in the funny hat game then install a mod that removes cosmetics

holy shit, stop it.

maybe make this a shoulder pet?

very rude way of putting it

Awful. The last thing tf2 needs is a pile of awful distracting pet cosmetics, one was bad enough. Please go and ruin another game.

I think "following pets" are cool. I think from a technical perspective, this is cool. I do worry that having a sentry buddy on the ground could possibly cause some visual confusion at a glance (especially since it has the minisentry patterning on it and looks a similar size), since the average Engineer player tends to hang around his buildings.

That being said, I love the design and think it's a cool little guy.

this is really cool but after this one we shouldnt get more cosmetics hats like this, this one specficially can confuse people because its a sentry

@Nameless: Please explian in detail how this is supposedly "gameplay breaking"? Or are you just randomly parroting words you heard?

"Gameplay breaking" should mean exactly that... it either breaks the game's code, or it allows players to do things or access places in the map they shouldn't be able to. Like the Scream Fortress spell that shrinks players down to the size of a mouse which allowed them to exploit tiny gaps in map geometry a normal player would never be able to reach, and get outside/below the map.

this would absolutely fuck with new players and add a lot of visual noise for veterans.

i told everyone that the crappy butler bot would lead to more follower cosmetics that made everything even more sloppy. here we are

Having a sizeable following thing completely detached from the player model is too much

Stop with this, we don't want it

brat summer isn't over yet girlies

@JAS-C No it isn't. Wtf is that logic, by your definition that can imply that every cosmetic ever added/created is visual noise. That isn't very respectful to the people who make cosmetics and to those who carefully take the time to make cosmetics that flesh out the characters.

In short, no. That not how cosmetics works. You can make something without it being distracting in any way both conceptually and design wise.

@Typical That's how cosmetics works.

Just more visual noise, Great.

You just have to see the image the creator put with the engie handling a wrangler running to understand that this can't be in the game

But @MeatwadMeatwad 's point about it looking similar with other sentries is some kind of viable.

@Shiro-Luna Do you was confused when you saw Baloonicorn? Or RoBro 3000? Unknown Monkeynaut? Dead Little Buddy? Hooded Haunter?! They all are Following pet type of cosmetic. But they are flying ones. And if you will say "It's a different", just sent your ass in space with rocket jump and good luck to see a difference between them and Botler.
You're underestimating players, if you think that they will misfire just because of little bot around them.

roblox slop

calm down dude it’s just a sentry on a wheel

The community kills tf2 more than valve does

"It'll cause gameplay confusion " these niggas are retarded as fuck and need to be castrated. If a tiny robot fucks you up that bad you dont need to be spreading your genes or wasting air
