[@SVDBlitz]

The Guard Dog is a cool concept and all, but it is far too overpowered. It's a walking sentry, can pick up medkits for other players, and..let's face it. No one wants to shoot a dog. PETA would have a field day. I can see why Call of Duty can get away with it because..well, it's Call of Duty we're talking about.

[@rad_nor5861]

Maybe if it was a robo dog, like in MVM style, but shooting a dog, not to mention the weird unhinged fanbase some tf2 players can be, i wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to do some unholy things with the dog class. a cool idea, but i think we should get something like a strategist instead of a pet, that doesnt really fit the bloody goofy style of tf2.

[@RedLaundryBasket]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@rad_nor5861I feel like the guard dog being a robot dog in the MvM machine style would be the best way to go about it. As if you destroy the dog, it could just explode or something, so it doesn’t feel like killing an actual dog. And about your point of people doing unholy things to the dog, I think that’s just something that comes with creating any character unfortunately. Now, I do think the idea of a little robot dog fits Tf2 well. As we have characters like engi who make machines, so the robot dog isn’t unrealistic in the tf2 universe. And it would save the team behind tf2 time in making a new human character, as when making a human character you have to give them a unique and memorable design that fits all the design philosophies of the og classes, you have to give them a unique nationality/accent that can be made fun of without it being offensive (ie spy being French, demoman being Scottish, engi having a Texas accent, etc.), and you have to give them a unique personality that works well with the other classes’ personalities. A robot dog is much easier, and it technically does fit all of the criteria I listed. A robot dog in the style of MvM machines with team coloring like engi’s machines fits the design philosophies well, we haven’t had a robot character yet, so it’s different from the others (yes, the robot dog won’t have a nationality or accent, but pyro doesn’t either), and the robot dog would have a unique personally of being a pet, which could work well of the characters. As I imagine it, scout would love the dog, but the dog would find scout annoying and usually won’t listen to him. Soldier would try to constantly train and toughen up the dog. Pyro would absolutely love the dog and would always want to play with it, but the dog would be terrified of pyro. Demoman will probably be indifferent to the dog, maybe he would try to get it drunk with him or something. Heavy and the dog would probably have a mutual respect for one another. Engi would be it’s creator and the dog would love engi. Medic and Spy would find the dog dirty and disgusting, but medic would probably experiment on it or something. And sniper and the dog will probably have the strongest relationship, giving sniper a very close friend, which he doesn’t really have at this point. But anyway, that just my view on why the guard dog as a robot dog would fit well as a class. I kinda started rambling and forgot I am replying to you, so sorry I guess. Also, I have ignored everything about the gameplay of the guard dog, and that’s because I don’t have much to say on it other than it needs to be changed for it to work or be more fleshed out. I just wanted to say how the idea of the character would work well in the game and fits the “bloody goofy style of tf2” like you said.

[@kuddlesgamergirl]

I mean, no one has a problem shooting a hamster in Overwatch. I think what differentiates this from shooting a normal animal in some other game is that this dog is trying to kill you.

[@Vini_31]

too op? turn it into a drone dog, spy will have another reason to use the second slot that only is user to counter engineer. and he can't use medkit (he is a robot) that will conflict with the engineer gameplay and make it more balanced

I had an idea for a tenth class; the caster's quarterly witch. She had a revolver, a spellbook (basically a pda to select spells to cast), and a staff. I even created 2 unlock: a tarrot card deck that gave you a random AOE spells ranging from jarate rain and meteor showers to making enemy heads big while reducing the size of teammate heads, and a summoning circle that let you summon ghosts, skeletons, monoculus, and a jr version of the Horsless Headless Horseman.

[@KeyboardTarantula]

here's an entire insane Idea for a Class. Meet The Viralist: similar to the engineer in only one aspect: building. you set up traps around the map, that unlike sentries or demo's stickies, are completely independent of themself. this isn't the main function, but it is one. these traps aren't harming so much as harassing, from the glue bucket, which halves the movement of a class when it falls on them, (activated by walking through a doorway it's planted on), the air canister, a ground placed one that fires an airblast to any player... ANY player that walks in front of it, pushing them, and then finally, a decoy, that's appears to be a cardboard cutout with a spy mask on of a random class. it will loop the kazotsky kick emote to enemies that see it, appearing as an enemy. it has a pitiful 25 health. then, there are the cameras. you have 3 cameras. these can be placed across the map. you have to actually look at the ipad model to see what's on them, pressing the fire key to switch, and the left trigger to self distruct them to allow you to place them. there's no pinging feature or anything, but it can see through spy disguises and decoys. not invisibility though. these cameras do not pan. you can destroy them easily with their instant destruction speed, (10 hp) allowing for easy counterplay. it's a useful way to gather information, especially on MVM gamemodes and surveilance on sentry nests. the cameras make an obvious whirring sound like a console overheading. main weapon is a railgun (in function.) it's a simple gun scrapped together from road signs and stuff. the weapons barrel end is a toaster that's loaded from the front. if you tap fire, it fires a pitiful 20 damage shot with no crit chance. if held for a short while, it will cook the toast, making it deal more damage and actually have a chance to crit. if held even further, you lose the crit chance, the damage becomes 20 again, but it also sets enemies on fire. it fires TWO projectiles that TOTAL 20 damage, so if one get's blocked you are only doing ten. if held long enough, it will explode in your hands, killing you instantly. stock meele is a plunger that pulls enemies toward you each time you hit them, but only does the damage of a stock bat. the reload for the toast railgun thing is about 3 seconds (missisipi). the main goal of this class is harassment. the projectiles will arc starting at 30 meters. you hold alt fire to charge the railgun, so you can precharge shots. I know he doesn't fit the 1900's theme of tf2, but I still thought it was funny to design a class after prank yt channels. might also work if rebranded to a more reality tv host vibe.

to balance the guard dog a few things they could do is: 1 make the hanger fire like a tier 1 on sentry, 2 make it so the helper reduces the health\ammo on tier 2 and 3 by ether 15% or 20%, three give the guard dog some sort of voice modulator so It can use voice lines. 4 make the hater have a jump similar to the detonator's jump.

[@purpleapple4052]

For one of TF2's "lost/removed 10th classes" like the Civilian I would like to add the Commander - back in the early 2000s when TF2 was still in development hell and meant to be realistic, the Commander was to be a non-physical class - there would be only one per team, he wouldn't be ON the battlefield but be supervising it, giving general orders and calling special attacks like air strikes, and look at the map through the eyes of the other players + cameras Engineers could build He was removed after the decision to make TF2 cartoony as the whole game in that stage was way too difficult to make it balanced and fun

[@MeiGoat]

As for 10th class, I do like the idea of another support character and after playing in bot lobbies and casual games for a bit I'm thinking a class that can build like walls and things would be neat Like a breakable shield for others to use as cover If this class worked with snipers to better secure their sniper spots Or engineers to give their dispenser or teleporters a little more protection Or just at the control point when their team is pushing to give them a safety spot to better hold ground But just walls wouldn't be enough so maybe building small steps could also be something, to help classes jump up onto a bit of a high place that'd normally be harder to get up to (Up to a certain height) And of course there'd have to be a limit to how many things they can have built at a time (I think there'd have to be something else he can build to really settle him but I can't think of anything right now) It'd probly work similiarly to engi where you have to upgrade the walls and the more upgraded the sturdier/harder to destroy it'd be And their melee weapon could be a hammer instead of a wrench And maybe a rapid fire nail gun as their secondary, possibly one of those staplers that can shoot as an alternative, so kinda similiar to Medic's stock gun or sniper's smg (An inbetween of the two?) how it works Main gun I'm a little unsure of, it looks like there's a want for assault rifles by others but I'm just not sure how well they'd fit into TF2, plus then there'd be no point of his secondary being what it is either. After some thinking, maybe some sort of stun gun or other type of electrical weapon which could have an effect on wet players. It might be a little too similar to the engineer being a construction guy, however engi is more robotics instead of actual construction, and I think there's a way to make this guy's aesthetic much different than Engi if you think of him instead of just a regular construction guy, more of someone who does his own home stuff, without a helmet

[@ihavethebrainofarat2309]

I don't think another class is needed, but if there was another one, some sort of coordination focused class could be cool. Like they could maybe place cameras (up to three of them) in places. Maybe they can also be jammed by sappers? Something supportive that demands communication. In terms of a primary, something closer to a secondary weapon in strength would make sense. Maybe something similar to the SMG? Their secondary would probably be the main meat of their kit, where they can check in on placed cameras or maybe even unlockable traps like spikes. If you want to lean into the theme, a wirecutter melee that has its primary role in removing sappers (similar to the Engineer's wrench). They could also have a weapon in the dedicated PDA/Disguise Kit slot where they can place these traps, cameras, etc. The only problem comes from the whole "F2Ps can't use voice or text chat" thing, which would make the class useless to anyone who hasn't spent money on the game. Maybe have certain voicelines be usable regardless (spy around here, sentry ahead, etc). Something similar to the Engineer that is less attached to buildings and their function and more focused on coordinating with their team from a distance, while having some ability to fight. In terms of a name and as an actual character, "Trapper" could be a pretty good one. The class itself might also end up being too similar to the Engineer, though. I would imagine they'd be, as a character, almost similar to Sniper in professionalism though more communicative.

The dog class seems like a cool idea. Before I learned about the existence of Merasmus, I thought having a designated Wizard class would have been neat. Each equippable item is just a different kind of spell, allowing to mix up offense and defense as a specialist class (generally lower health pool too, like around spy health). I also hoped that if they add a new class, they should make that class an "unused" nationality to mix in with the identities of the mercenaries; I thought Italian might be pretty cool, or maybe some sort of Asian ethnicity (Laotian, Korean, etc)

Maybe 130 or 150. Double jump would have to be removed somehow. For the primary. I think it would have to be a heavily modified Tomislav. (It's the only rapid fire primary I could think of) For the Secondary, might be a unique combination of mechanics, like the sandvich medkit recharge, and a gun with no ammo. The idea is to keep track of what item you just picked up, then spawn a new one when you drop it. But for an actual weapon however.. It might be over the top of something like the crit-a-cola. For the melee, swapping to it would equip one of Demoman's shields, like the splendid screen. Then have the melee be something like the Tribalman's Shiv. But with less of a damage reduction, I think attacking would also make the dog lunge at the target too. As for some of the unique abilities. I suppose the tracking one could be done by taunting by an enemies ragdoll, then give a highlight to the enemy player. Maybe a melee taunt replacement? Then for the Jarate one, I think that might be self explanatory. Maybe... replace the fist bump? Then allow it to only be initiated by the dog, then the sniper be the only one who can do it. After the taunt finishes, the sniper would have his Jarate instantly recharged.

The issue with the Guard Dog is it's wide range of abilities and it's small size (meaning small hitbox) also it's a hybrid of all classes which would make it too overpowered. The Hanger is basically just the Heavy, The Helper is a portable dispenser and The Hater is just Spy and Sniper. And don't get me started with the Sniff ability being able to track down spies infintely will be very annoying and too broken

Valve did little bit of trolling

[@stonecycle8199]

I have one question. Why did you skip over the Madcap? Is that a possible video? Or, are you just putting that there so that we go on a wild goose chase?

[@DropsOfMars]

Surprising that the guard dog never made it into other fan projects

[@Simp_Speakerman]

Convoy (music said Convoy Fight)

[@istilldontknowwhattonamemyself]

the guard dogs weaknesses are ubercharged heavys, bonked scouts, and trolldiers

[@InkyStudio595]

To be honest, I think having the guard dog is an amazing idea for a new class. The only thing I see wrong with it is it seems more like a thing another class can summon, like the solider. Also, if you did have it as a playable character, it would be hard to play as considering how weak it could be.

[@thecommenter90]

I love the dig as a class.

[@cryptidkoi8418]

Guard Dog is a cool idea, but I think I’d cry anytime either dog was killed during a round

[@raineltv910]

There is a fan made class called "the deathmatch mercenary"He has a meet the class video

[@DK_731]

The Seriamon clip 💀💀

[@DaFunnyMan1]

i thoutght,,, it would be a commander...

[@raygagnon4809]

If added would not be suprised if they made it in the game, that in the comic that it was either a robot made by the engineer to look like a dog but be very intelligent or it was a normal dog at first till medic put the mind of one of his previous experiments victims inside it giving the dog human intelligence and the mind of the original person.

[@user-pv1gv5qm8d]

Balancing it would be nice but the only thing I know that will help with the guard dog which should have been added was that the guard dog would have low hp, there is a cooldown for The hater and the gun on the guard dog’s bag should have a reload or a cooldown.

[@santipiola2752]

It's me or the ct_convoy was revealed in the 2023 leak? If i remember right it was like 50% done (becouse of reutalized textures).

My head canon 10th class is the Mercenary from Open Fortress.

[@Destical]

the madcap!!!!!

[@Glitchmouse2]

Madcap is just scout with an epik cosmetik

[@johndolenc7658]

I e never played tf2 before so correct me if this sounds a bit odd. The wallhack ability while even though it’s just for a general direction would just feel off to some players imo. You’re not supposed to be 100% dps from what it sounds like, and there are still other enemies you have to deal with. Instead I would think a separate ability would be increased sound on footsteps, and you could hear them from further. It should also be able to “sense” when another guard dog is nearby. I love the idea of guard dog no matter what though. Imagine seeing this in expectation date, eating bread and parasites growing in an environment of pure wheat!

[@jimmysuros6302]

How would spy disguise work then with the Guard Dog? Or would he not be able to disguise as a dog? (if the latter, this would undermine the Your Eternal Reward)

[@user-yi1rd5bz7c]

I thought the 10th class that went through the torture of the respawn machine trials from emesis blue

[@YourUniversalShowerShitter]

0:26 it was merasmus

[@blackmask3324]

i think they should maybe redesign it if it gets add to like something engineer built out of scrap

[@orangejuice6360]

another reason why we never got the 10th class is because he wouldve ruined tf2's jingle (since the closing melody's number of notes are the same number as the mercenaries; 9 beats)

[@Beeboyhaha]

1:11 the civillian is added to team fortress 2. just not the one you know of today, there is another tf2 called "team fortress 2 classic". its the same concept, except some of the classes have different weapons, like the scout has the sniper's secondary.

[@conorkavanagh4605]

We should has got a shotgunner class

[@killock7788]

I like to think that the valve employees didn't want to add the guard dog in the game because then it would be sad to see a dog explode into pieces or killed

[@flynneugene2675]

TF2 class we never got is Dog. saved 17 minutes of your time.

[@elijahsmith4047]

Honestly I really feel like TF2's current cast is way too balanced in the roles they play. Like, they cover so much ground on their own that I can't imagine a new broad archetype being introduced without it throwing off the game's balance in a major way. In my opinion, if they were to add new classes I think it'd be cool if they approached them like alt versions of the base 9. Classes that share the same general idea as their counterpart, but go about it in a different way. One idea I had was the Spy having a counterpart called the Infiltrator. They'd share that idea of stealth. They'd be able to cloak themself and they'd have an emphasis on staying undetected or getting completely screwed. But instead of sentry saps or using disguises, they could instead focus on things like limiting enemy resources and tagging the locations of enemies, sentries, and sticky traps so that their team can better prepare for encounters. I think ideas like that would work way better than trying to fit in an entirely new concept.

[@amry_the_noob9846]

i miss madcap, why did they remove him

[@mimimaxxing]

I completely forgot about madcap, so glad I was reminded by this video honestly

It’s eternity in there.

[@timothyherrmann]

The 10th class was made by a fan.

welp, you didn't lie on Reddit, you did freaking mention Madcap. God damnit
