Team Fortress 32

[yuyukos]

Thursday sounds good for me.

GOD STRANGE MINIGUNS ARE WORTH SO MUCH
I Just want to make my Mini-Hakkero so I can unleash the power of love upon my enemies. Is that so much to ask?

3 Dueling Games. 3 Scrap. I don't care if they're worth more. I need metal.
And I still have an extra Machina, if anyone wants it.

And Thursday sounds great.

[Esifex]

I has a strange Flamethrower, but I won't be around... starting tomorrow, until like Saturday

Hey, I don't know if you guys already know this or not. You can go to the Mann Co. Store and Rent a weapon of your choice.

[Gpop]

Ooh nice. Though I prefer owning weapons on my own :V

Also, I guess the reason why my mini sents worked that time because I've always been more the, "take alternate path and ambush/sneak behind team" type of guy (which is why my top two classes are pyro and spy). So using that same tactic I always placed my mini sentries in places they never expect, creating a bit of chaos as they searched for that one sentry that keeps shooting them.

Plus, I hate going head first just to get killed :V

It's been implemented in Manniversary Update. As the only unique weapon I lack is the Fan O' War (and upon playing with it in Randomizer I've come to not really like), I probably won't be using that feature yet.

That's a proper way to play Gunslinger Engie. Distract them with mini-Sentries while the rest of the team pushes forward using your established base further back from the frontlines.

Hey, I doubt that I'll be able to play by the Thanksgiving day due to the computer failing on me. This computer has the game, but only runs 10 FPS at most.

EDIT: Nevermind about this post. I think I can still play.

[DX7.EP]

Oh dear that isn't good. Have you tried using -dxlevel 81 in Launch Options?

As for mine, I can play 30FPS easily with that option on on my laptop...except that every now and then the entire system will lag horrendously for 30 secs - 1 minute due to CPU throttling (one problem ThinkPads have - interestingly I've only had it happen while actively running TF2 and Portal 2), even with a cooling pad running at full blast. Have to get out of game a bit to let it cool down before going back in to repeat the process, or apply ice to the bottom of the laptop every few minutes. It also tends to shut itself down due to overheating after about 2 hours of straight play and don't use a cooling pad (usually I do, though).

Perfect. I feel right at home then :V

*adds Gunslinger Engie into 3rd class to be on offense*

[Molten]

Oh man, more gunslinger engies. Next meetup will be fun.

I also managed to beat my previous point record as a Gunslinger Engy. Just put that sentry down and start shotguning down people close or using the pistol to take down people who are a bit further away.

[Fetch()tirade]

Personally I use mini-sentries to support a demo/soldier comp so that pyros and scouts don't have an easy time picking them off. I also use them passive-aggressively by placing them ahead of a friendly push and trying to soften up the enemy team. I usually don't try and salvage the sentry if it's too far back and prefer to just blow them up and rely on drops or boxes for more metal.

I do the exact same really, anytime we push up, I just blow up the sentry and place another one. It's much faster anyways than to carry something weak and small anyways :V

[CadrinHaverit]

And I still have an extra Machina, if anyone wants it.

I still kinda want it, but how the heck do I trade with you in this game?

[Agent of the BSoD]

Oh dear that isn't good. Have you tried using -dxlevel 81 in Launch Options?

Uh, you said it was -dxlevel 80 before. :V (and it's what I have and it works)

You know, if I was smart, I would've saved a replay of me killing you at the exact moment the gates opened up with a taunt. :getdown: That was just too hilarious.

[DX7.EP]

My method of Gunslinger Engie is not quite as aggressive as Gpop's or Molten's. It's used more as a supportive device directly in the front during a rush, or usually as a deterrent in a hidden corner to distract the other team and keep them pinned in an area (such as with the final CP of Gold Rush area 2 as BLU). I also don't bother picking up or refilling mini-sentry ammo - it's cheaper and faster to make a new one.
I don't do too well with this combination, but I'm not really an Engie player to start with (usually I go Engie as a helper unit in setup time or when the team is lacking one - and sitting back with upgraded sentries is too boring for me). But it does its job.

I still kinda want it, but how the heck do I trade with you in this game?

Inside TF2:
Items -> Trading. There you can use anyone from your friends list (provided they are playing TF2 as well at that moment), the current server, or any player whose Steam Community URL you know (though they'll need to get on TF2 as well).

Steam Trading:
Send a trade invite to anyone on your friends list provided they are online.

Uh, you said it was -dxlevel 80 before. :V (and it's what I have and it works)

I say use -dxlevel 81 first, then 80 if problems persist.

You know, if I was smart, I would've saved a replay of me killing you at the exact moment the gates opened up with a taunt. :getdown: That was just too hilarious.

People can and will do that on real matches, usually failing miserably of course. :V

I should've saved a replay of us tauntkilling each other at the same time...if that even happened. Gah, busy busy....
(for some reason though the replay editor crashes on my system)

Anyone wants a Strange Brass Beast and/or Strange Fists ?

[Dr.Strafe]

Anyone wants a Strange Brass Beast and/or Strange Fists ?

Sure. Is there anything in particular that you're looking for?

[Kyo Tanaka]

Anyone have a spare Gunslinger? I'd like to trade an item for that.

[Gc]

Sure. Is there anything in particular that you're looking for?

The only stranges I want are a postal pummeler (or axtinguisher) and a quick fix
*mainly plays medic and pyro*

Also, see if you want any of my duplicates/crates before I craft metal for 30 minutes straight

I'll take the Cow Mangler and Bison, been looking for that.

Trading will have to wait. TF2 item server died just at the right moment. Even Steam can't show my TF2 inventory.

GABE
Y U EAT MY ITEMS

Nothing to see here, move along.

Sucks

Anyways, if there are any duplicate items I have that you want to trade for as well you can take a look

GAAAH! I'm really going to hate the next sets of community slugfests and TF2 for the next few days.

This laptop's (ThinkPad x201) ridiculous tendency to throttle itself in moments of high CPU/GPU usage strikes again (and within 10 minutes of starting TF2 too). Happens regardless of settings or if other CPU-intensive tasks like MSE are closed.
Details have been moved to here for those with solutions or the sort.

[Kyo Tanaka]

Just making sure, is the Thanksgiving game going to be at 2 PM? If so, I can't play then. At the latest I can get back on is like... 5 PM or so.

[DX7.EP]

5PM EST (GMT-5) is what we have planned. There may be another round at 8PM, however, though chances are most US-based players will be busy by then.

On another note, may be a bit old news here but hooray another bad TF2 clone. And I thought HAVE Online / MicroVolts / Toy Wars (JP) was bad enough at that....

WTF... I think I saw this before. Soldier from TF2 + Battlefield Heroes maps.
:colonveeplusalpha:

[Gpop]

Yeah the Chinese TF2 game was known about before, except that they have a new class which is pretty much a CoD class that's mostly likely gonna be OP :V

And that H.A.V.E game isn't as much of a TF2 clone as you think. You can only choose 4 characters to be, and give them any weapons. But the only thing that strikes a resemblance are some of the weapons really.

[Fetch()tirade]

Is the meet-up happening right now? Because if it is, I dunno where. The MotK server has disappeared from my favorites list.

And now I have 2 sets of strange fists.

I don't think it is. No one on my friends list is even on TF2. And yeah, the server likes to change IP addresses, so you're gonna have to find it again. I've had that issue before.

[yuyukos]

Yes, we're playing! Me Gpop and someone else anyway. Come join us, bots make me cry .Add Gpop or me to friends and follow us to game, the server in the OP has changed.

edit: or this!
