You need the pickaxe if you're building and you only want to get rid of one block at a time.

I am looking forward to the new update because I use the SMG more than I use the semi now and I'm getting quite good. The new update should make it even easier for me.

Right click pick is just weird.

It is just the pick's animation applied to the shovel on left click.
Perhaps a small little shovelling movement would suit better? or use the pick's anim except tilt the shovel at 90 degrees?

I want the pick back. Shovel just doesn't work with the pick's animation or hit speed.

I'm loving the nerfed fall damage as well.

Ah okay.

Then I am just fine.

i like the fact that right mouse is shovel and left mouse is pick

Pick unneeded when everyone uses it?
Damn shovel better have alternative functions because this is stupid.

Yeah it was fun to play. People harrased the clan and called me a 12 year old, the usual stuff. I was tempted to record but didnt.

tek2 thats up to mat to do

Damit i was hoping we would have a global listing :(

Removed pickaxe? How is melee damage done now? With spade?

I think its more like every game out there where its like Player x killed player Y.

Um by killfeed to u mean like a tally?

CaptainOAP im not going to give it out you will have to talk to dahnzee about that

Where is it?

Yeah Im with Flutter. It messed me up alot now:

1) Im not used to the new hotkeys

2) It confuses you alot! I get mixed up, thinking about with one.

I also forgot to mention you can change your keys in the read me file. Can change most of everything.

Go to IRC and ask Dan

pink dirt lol

Where's this prerelease?

i felt that there was no need for it. and besides how realistic is it to dig dirt with a pick?

they removed the pickaxe? why?....

This is how i feel about the .60 pre release:
Smg is awesome. It is easier, but still gives a challenge.
New way for digging. All I will say is you have to switch off by right/left clicking.
Now on the left it says Duece7 (blue). When any1 kills some1 it goes on the right side.
Instead of restarting the map it stops the game and then starts a new map.
The reload is kinda rare. It only happened once, so it shouldn't distract people so much.
There are some more features there I haven't yet seen so there is more to discover. I even heard, like the mc launcher, you can put it on your desktop and go from there.

the wired frames look very cool in game.

also when you die you have to look to the right of the screen to see who killed you.

also you can hear when other people reload but you cant really tell who is reloading.

it also looks like it might be just the shovel now.

The SMG as been buffed and it feels awsome. (bad thing for you SMG haters.

i will try to get im some pics later today so stay tuned
