Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: Pass (with changes)

Team Lineup:

• MIKObscura (Scout -> Engineer)
  
• Bazooks (Heavy -> Engineer -> Medic)
  
• Jurrell (Soldier)
  
• Deaf Gaming (Spy -> Medic -> Sniper) -> EvilEngineer (Sniper)
  
• Mudun (Pyro)
  
• Sntr (Engineer -> Heavy)

• Mission is in a good spot
  
• Mission can feel awful to play for pyro and engineer due to the amount of things that wreck those classes

• The finale can feel very brutal as some combinations of flank/noflank for the gheavies can lead to 4 giant heavies arriving at once at the hatch, should make them a fixed pattern instead of randomly flanking so there isn't a random chance of getting surrounded by giant heavies
  
• Infinite conches makes this even worse as it makes it nearly impossible for players to exit the hatch with how fast the gheavies arrive although it would probably be less of a problem if the combination of flank/noflank makes less giant heavies able to get to the hatch at the same time

• Pescoço (Demo)
  
• watermelon (Medic)

Custom upgrades approved:

• Engineer - Compact Sensor

• The mission is shaping up well but suffers from an inconsistent difficulty

• Burst chamber is currently too powerful especially with clip size

• These waves have too much commons which makes navigating around the map tough for more mobile classes

• Having most of the common support spawn at the catwalk is not very good idea as it's very easy for an engineer to keep his sentry there and prevent the support from ever doing anything

• Loch-n-Load demo support arrives too late

• Burst demos with regular demos can be confusing since they have the same weapon, replace either of them or give them different weapons so they are easier to tell apart

• This wave felt too long considering the amound of waves

• A bit on the easy side for expert but it might be better to test it again before doing something about it as heavy+med and demo with burst chamber oc might have cheesed the wave

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: Strike

Team Lineup:

• MIKObscura (Soldier)
  
• UltimentM (Engineer)
  
• Mudun (Heavy)
  
• Seelpit (Spy)
  
• Aluminium Botkiller (Medic)
  
• Dylan_is_legend (Scout)

• We strongly recommend that you playtest your mission before submitting an update, playing your mission yourself helps a lot in finding issues and improving it
  
• The mission feels more like a random mishmash of bots rather than structured subwaves with thoughts put into how bots interact with each other
  
• Sentry Busters currently have a cooldown of 16 seconds which is very short and makes playing Engineer a nightmare if you add all the spam on top of that. For reference, Caliginous Caper (valve's 666) has a buster cooldown of 120s
  
• Crit and heal on kill bots are overused in this mission and some of them need to be axed down, while it is fine to have a few of them, putting too much of these bots leads to the mission being too punishing for the average player
  
• This mission still lacks of cash, the difficulty notably spikes mid-wave as the robots get exponentially stronger with a lot of hitscan bots which destroy everything on a map as open as ghost town. On top of that, players get very few cash to put into both resistances and offensive upgrades which makes the mission nearly impossible without heavy+medic
  
• Don't put arbitrary buffs to robots that aren't similar to what valve does, it feels unfair to get killed by a giant scout that deals double damage because you couldn't know that. It's an example but this applies to most of the custom bots in this mission

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: No Strike

Team Lineup:

• MIKObscura (Pyro)
  
• Mudun (Heavy)
  
• DaMno (Engineer)
  
• Dylan_is_legend (Scout)

• mission is ok overall

• the wave felt very short and the heavies at the end were a bit lonely so you could maybe extend the last subwave a bit

• some commons on these waves straggled at the end so you could add more giants

• Medics count doesn't match the wavebar
  
• the giant demos don't use rapid fire icon
  
• this wave could benefit from having a few snipers as it felt too easy to hold

• this wave could benefit from spies to keep sniper in check given how he can destroy that wave

• giant heavy with uber medics felt too strong, either remove their crits or the uber medics and maybe give the giant heavy a lower max vision range given how strong he is on a map like ghost town

• tanks were too strong and need to be toned maybe somewhere around 22k each

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: No Strike

Team Lineup:

• MIKObscura (Engineer)
  
• Mudun (Scout)
  
• DaMno (Demo)
  
• Sergeant Table (Medic)

Custom upgrades approved:

• Engie's Offensive Specialism

• Mission seems fine overall

• Scout defensive specialism gives too much resistances considering scout already has money overheal, consider lowering it down to 20%
  
• Demo's defensive specialism isn't very good as he isn't a class that interacts much with robots, think of another stat to use as less damage taken for less damage dealt is not going to work on demo

• demoknights have robots skin

• the bots that arrive after the first gsoldier arrive too late which leads to an awkward moment of nothing

• the giant smg snipers were too fast for the amount of health they have, either make them slower and replace them by giant pistol scouts if you want to keep them fast

• Seelpit (Demo)
  
• MIKObscura (Engineer)
  
• totally not Junko (Pyro)
  
• Mudun (Sniper)

Custom upgrades approved:

• Dispenser Health & Ammo Regen

• Dying late game punishes you too harshly as you respawn with just the default weapons you had, which is especially bad for engineer which only has his wrench and pistol, with how much zombies spawn there isn't much you can do before you get overrun
  
• Revive powerup seems good on paper but being revived with 1hp essentially means you'll quickly die right after unless there's a medic right next to you when you respawn, adding a large healthkit in spawn could fix this
  
• Grapple zombies felt too punishing considering they have a pretty high attack speed for the damage they can deal and their ability to grapple people
  
• Adding an indicator of how far into the round you are would be a great QoL improvement

• Buying raygun's damage upgrade is pretty much shooting yourself in the foot since it deals so much damage you instantly die from self damage even at full health

• Uberweapon upgrades aren't very clear in what they do and sometimes feel like they didn't change anything at all, which is very bad considering these upgrades cost 5000$
  
• Grenade Launcher damage upgrade could use a more gradual increase instead of just one 5000$ upgrade so you can have more freedom to buy other upgrades instead of saving up everything for that one

Feedback is for v1

• Mudun (Sniper)
  
• Bogus (Soldier)
  
• Hell-met (Heavy)
  
• MIKObscura (Pyro)
  
• Tindall Berry (Scout)

Custom weapons approved:

• Custom weapon for scout

• Mission is standing in very good and solid spot, there are however couple of issues our judging pointed out.
  
• Bots as skeletons makes the game very laggy and almost unplayable, i had 20-30 fps mid wave - DaMno

• Demo's custom weapon seems pretty weak for max upgrades, 116 dmg per pill isnt enough to even kill light class, consider increasing to 125-130.
  
• Engie's custom weapon has a very loud firing sound, other than that it's a pretty fun alternative without being too good

• Stab Vest - Seems pointless when there are no melee bots except w1 and in w1 there are more important upgrades to buy than this just to have 60% against melee in last subwave.
  
• Pyro's custom upgrades are kinda pointless, they aren't bad but they aren't good enough to be worth taking over res/flamer upgrades and the money the mission gives isn't enough to take both necessary and custom upgrades

• Last subwave shouldnt be waitforalldead, it drags a lot when pushed extending the wave by 2-3 minutes

Where have you heard of that? I tried searching for that and didn't find anything about a code leak this year
