| − | Good idea. We should also demonstrade other beta stuff like the Quick Fix. However, Q F can't heal enemies so it could be hard to demonstrate. [[User:Mentlegen|Mr. Wii]] 18:49, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

| − | As inspiration for the demonstration of whatever the final version is going to be, I found a couple of videos. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NVb7naVj5E Video 1] (a 20-sec quickie that's more of a humor video) and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMrVpfI7-QI Video 2] (a more serious demonstration of flare jumping across 2fort). Obviously the damage demonstration part should be on the regular training map for consistency, but flare jumping could use a context. [[User:WackoMcGoose|WackoMcGoose]] 15:53, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

| − | == Alt-fire? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I was testing out the weapons detonation in itemtest to see how big the radius is, and while the flare would detonate on contact with any solid surfaces and/or enemies, it could not be detonated remotely. Also, I couldn't flare jump, but that's just part of itemtest. Could they be related?

| − | I appear to be getting Crit damage bonuses when hitting burning players with the detonation near point blank range (from the top of the first stairs in the sewers at 2fort to the bottom of said stairs), and this has happened more than once without any boosting mechanism (i.e. buff banner or kritzkrieg). I keep hitting 90's; can anyone else confirm?[[User:Sammyboy0120|Sammyboy0120]] 23:08, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

| − | :Moved this since it had nothing to do with demonstration, please make a new section next time. Anyways, I had something like that going on too. I was firing at a soldier (who was being healed by a medic) and ignited him for around 30 damage. I kept firing since I couldn't reach him with my flamethrower and I seemed to be getting higher damage with every hit, going up by one each time. I think I shot about 8 maybe, going from 30 to 36 and going up by one to 43. [[User:Ericson666|Ericson666]] 15:55, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

| − | == Differences between this and the normal flare gun ==
| |

| − | To most normal players, just reading this article makes the weapon look like an upgraded version of the flaregun. I think more clarification needs to be made between the detonators mini-crit vs burning enemies vs the flareguns full crit, so that unobservant people know the difference --[[User:PlausibleSarge|PlausibleSarge]] 09:33, 26 June 2011 (PDT)

| − | | |
| − | :: I don't think that it is stating the difference between crits v. mini-crits, but rather the inability for detonated flares to cause crit damage. As such, I second that the distinction between the on-burning-target-hit effects. EDIT: I am going to added it after the mini-crit line in the article.

| − | ==Flare Jump Bug==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The article's bug section says that, due to a lack of self knockback damage, flare jumping is impossible. Are we sure that the inability to flare jump is actually a bug and not intended? [[User:Anzallos|Anzallos]] 22:00, 26 June 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :Well, while it is unknown whether or not it was intended, it should be noted that it is not "impossible", as it is possible to do a much smaller jump. [[User:Ericson666|Ericson666]] 09:57, 27 June 2011 (PDT)

| − | :::The self damage is not applied right. It does less self damage than it did in the beta, with absolutely no change in the stats of the weapon.

| |
| − | ::::::Beta is beta. Welcome to what they decided to put in the main game. Stats and attributes are subject to change from beta. It's less likely a bug than a fix. I'm honestly glad they didn't put in something so over-broken as giving Pyros a full rocket jump. I put people off-guard and surprise them enough with just the current flare jump. -[[User:C2Talon|C2Talon]] 11:58, 27 June 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | :::::::But the downside of the weapon doesn't even work... It's a bug. The +25% self damage taken isn't applied to Detonator flares, which is why you can't jump. [[User:Balladofwindfishes|Balladofwindfishes]] 12:42, 27 June 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | ::::::::But you do jump with it. I'm sorry that it can't be the height of a rocket jump as in beta as you seem to expect, but it's substantially much higher and further than a normal jump. Why would you assume that just because something was the way it was in beta that it ''must'' be the same way in main game? All beta weapon pages even say that all details of items are subject to change. Why would this be different? Just because the functionality and name is similar to something that was play-tested in beta? But then, again, beta. -[[User:C2Talon|C2Talon]] 13:33, 27 June 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | :::::::::But the height gained is not from +25% self inflicted damage, which the Detonator is suppose to have. The self inflicted damage does not work currently, which is a bug. It doesn't matter if you get a short hop, that's merely from the regular self-damage. Proper flarejumping was from the added self damage nerf of the weapon, and quite clearly, it's not applied properly. [[User:Balladofwindfishes|Balladofwindfishes]] 14:47, 27 June 2011 (PDT)

| − | Regarding trivia, how is it that the information that the RMF ability mod is able to stay on the page, yet the information about the Advanced Weaponiser mod's weapon has been removed? They're both community created mods that had those traits existing prior to the Detonator's conception, so either both should stay or both should be removed unless someone can provide sufficient evidence that proves that only the RMF ability mod should stay. -- [[User:Psychopath|Psychopath]] [[File:User_Psychopath_avatar.png|16px|link=User_talk:Psychopath]] 20:57, 30 June 2011 (PDT)

| − | == Detonator Explosion destroys stickies ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | First time using a wiki so bringing this up here since I don't know where it should go in the article.
| |
| − | Stickybomb launcher stickies(haven't tested this on Scottish Resistance stickies) within range of the Detonator's explosion(right click) are all destroyed. Similar to the way the scottish resistance is able to destroy stickies. I'm guessing this is a bug, since it isn't mentioned in the weapon's description.

| − | == Possible bug ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I think I have found a bug with the Detonator flare. It only detonates when the alt-fire button is released, not pressed. Most of the other weapons with alt-fire functions, like the Flamethrower, the said function goes off as soon as alt-fire is pressed. In fact, the Detonator is the only weapon that I know of that isn't this way. Does anyone know if that is on purpose or a bug? Or even if this can be counted as a bug.
