W O A H (c) Bandicoot
I updated it
v2
only took 4 monthes or so
I have to judge and uni and stuff

I adressed issues, all written for sure

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZKDndO3gWTfTlXPlcJRsYJSVw5YMqzYK

Changelog:
I legit don't recall but I adressed all written issues
like I legit don't okay

Restrictions:
Please have me on testing/judging

Balance issues:
W4:
Too much active at once. Tone down all the heavies.
KGBs last too long.

W5:
Phlog pyros last way too long.

W6:
Tone down the stats of the golden bots. That should hopefully fix most of the issues.

W8:
Lower boss health by 10k.

Pacing issues:

Total wave time breakdown for: mvm_casino_city_b6_adv_sketchy_swing [Victory] Time spent on Wave 1: 3 min 48 sec [Victory] Time spent on Wave 2: 4 min 7 sec [Victory] Time spent on Wave 3: 3 min 46 sec [Victory] Time spent on Wave 4: 8 min 30 sec [Victory] Time spent on Wave 5: 8 min 13 sec [Victory] Time spent on Wave 6: 7 min 42 sec [Victory] Time spent on Wave 7: 5 min 2 sec [Victory] Time spent on Wave 8: 7 min 2 sec Total success time in mission: 48 min 10 sec (100%) Total time spent in mission: 48 min 10 sec

So anything here above 4 minutes needs to be reduced. 8 waves with 4 minutes each is exactly 32 minutes. Just cut the length of most subwaves in half.

General
-There's simply put too many bots. While pacing is appropiate, if it still takes anywhere from 4-5 minutes when holding front that will still amount to a long time with 8 waves (32-40min) in a best case scenario, not to mind the occasional loss or upgrade session.
It has to be take into consideration the time it'll take even when falling back, which is kind of inevitable on an expert.
You feared that it'll become too short when holding front, but I'd argue the faster time to completion is a bit of reward you get for being thusly skilled to hold front throughout all of that. Besides that I don't fear it will become unnacceptably short if you do hold front succesfully.
Any wave that's reaching 7+ minutes could do with a good culling in bots, so why not go Thanos on their ass and erase ~50% of them so it all balances out.

Oh fak I forgot to update it or something

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZKDndO3gWTfTlXPlcJRsYJSVw5YMqzYK

TL;DR nerfed W4-6
helped a little bit extra timing here and there so you shouldn't be pushed much off front
(if that won't help I will start working at TotalCounts for sure)
and cut boss by like 15k to be safe

... I took me three weeks to upload, I am a big dumb

Restrictions:
Have me on judging
No Heavy

You managed to cut out about 10min out of the running time of this mission
I'm starting off with this because that is one impressive feat

w1
bit of a slow end with the pyros, there

w2
cut one tank and the giant medics from the last two giant soldiers
you probably could have them show up a bit earlier to back up the 10k tank, too?

w3
remove qf meds from giant scouts
maybe remove the giant scorch pyros?

w7
you probably can cut the crit bonks at the end

w8
considering how long the mission already gets, you probably could cut this wave out entirely
doesn't hold up much to the prior wave imo

Here's your split of the pot: the demo file.[demos.potato.tf]

also W3:
Why were the scorchshots sooo sloooow. I am not sure if they were supposed to be aiding the flareguns but with the scorch's speed they just end up eating the flare's dust, get left alone and become easy pickings.

Oh uh
Yea I am not dead (am pretty close morally but what can you do)

> Decreased Speed on MiniBoss chip robot by 33% (to 100% aka pyro/engi/sniper speed)
> Renamed Soldipers to Not-So-Direct-Hit Snipers [apparently that portmanteau wasn't good enough]

> W1: Cut 3 Dragon Fury Pyros
> W1: Cut 1 pyro Giant that relied on MaxActive 1 and staggered the wave

> W2: Removed 2nd tank (money from it went to 1st tank so it should make it easier that way too)
> W2: Replaced all Conch soldiers with Burst Fires (yes, I axed double damage of template)

> W3: Halved Shortstop count, rejigged some money to giants
> W3: Added extra 12-16 seconds of WaitBeforeStarting to Major Leagues/Super Scouts
> W3: Halved TotalCount on all Giant Pyro (now it's 4 giants, two per type)

> W5: Removed 6 pyros and 12 frogs to keep wave from dragging on much (money rejigged to earlier in wave)

> W7: Decreased speed of Tanks to 135, they don't fall through hatch anymore, and decrease dps req by 10%
> W7: Decreased spawnrate of Super Scouts by 33% (2 every 5s to 2 every 7.5s)
> W7: Cut 18 scouts from end of the wave

> W8: Decreased TotalCount by a 1/4-1/3
> W8: Made boss spawn sounds louder
> W8: Introduced proper heavy_deflector_giant.vmt because it's all gettin' trunkated now

If it is possible, delaying judging/pre-judging till this weekend so I can get on

Sketchy Swing

W1:
Remove 5 DF Pyros

W3:
Remove 4 giant scouts, we were stuck waiting on them for a while. Also why do they have 1200 hp? They're not super scouts.
Flare giant ending was kinda lackluster.

W5:
Either change the shield meds to a different med or remove the crits from the sticky demos. Also give them passive weapon grenade launcher so they dont spin around like morons.

W7:
Remove like 6-7 super scouts and ~20 bonks

W8:
Giant banner soldiers need the deploy time fix
Give your boss an actual name :^)

Big and Mean
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZKDndO3gWTfTlXPlcJRsYJSVw5YMqzYK

it's 1:37 here and I still want to test it with pubs
TL;DR
pyros on W1 shouldn't hang

W2 a bit easier now since crits are gone, and so are giant meds

W3 timing reworked completely to be what it should've been day 1 cause I'm an idiot
Giant Pyro walks faster

W4 : bots not tied to giant cut to 3/4 so wave doesn't get over 5minute mark

W5: Removed shield off sco-res medics

W7: changed last subwave to be a bit faster, and transition a bit more sharply to grab people's attention

W8: fixed banner bug

ok nvm serious update 2
changed W3 pacing to be more forgiving

thanks pubs for that
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZKDndO3gWTfTlXPlcJRsYJSVw5YMqzYK
let's hope it doesn't drag on like attempts before

Can this mess get any more messier
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZKDndO3gWTfTlXPlcJRsYJSVw5YMqzYK

BT done big oof to this mission

Names added for most robots
Fixed Stickybomb demos going full "You Spin Me Round" mode
W3 - cut 3 giants scouts
W4 - cut the last subwave, wave now edns on tank+gauntlet push
W5 - pyro squads now tied to WaitForAllDead, so it shouldn't be BT problematic
W6 - slight nerfs to all robots all over the board, stats on giants specifically, and Tommies are Easy now
W6 - cut all TotalCounts of small robot subwaves by a third (let's hope this doesn't horrifically backfire in some way)

P.S. Night shift, if you want to run this, you need 2 judges to pass this shite so

Posting here for posterity: as of 8/12/2019, this mission has been accepted into Madness vs. Machines.
