Team Fortress 32

[Dr.Strafe]

But good lord they made the Foundry achievements frickin' absurd.

Indeed. I had to really work at getting Classassin in time. Get a kill, class-change suicide, run to get another kill, repeat. As for the Claim Jumper, and the Five in Five (or whatever it's called), I just relied on my Engineer skills

Spoiler:

on an empty server with idle bots.

:V

I came sooo close to getting that one achievement where you win after your opponent attempts to capture your final control point. It was a long struggle, with a rather inept team. But we were managing to tilt the scales back in our favor. As we were rushing in to their final point, TF2 crashes. Oh, man.. Rage was flowin' through mah veins, it was.

EDIT- Is it just me, or are players adamant (even demanding!) about getting the new Christmas stuff? This one guy kept badgering me constantly about my Spy-cicle. Like I'm giving that thing up, much less for a Dr. Grordbort's Crest. :V "I trade good stuff" my ass! Another guy kept spamming trades until I finally met with him. He didn't even want to trade. He just wanted me to GIVE him the Christmas stuff. Fuck that!

Anyway, I discovered that some of the items within the Naughty Crates were Stranges. I saw one guy with a Strange Festive Sniper Rifle, to which I thought "oh man Strange Spy-cicle.. gotta have that one :3". But I guess only the Naughty crates have Strange variations. Interesting to have, but I'm not hurting for those. So far, I've ended up with a Festive Rocket Launcher and a Festive Stickybomb Launcher. I'm thinking of keeping the Sticky.. but probably won't ever use the Rocket Launcher. It will just sit on the shelf unless one of you fine folks might be interested.

Also, Agent. I keep forgetting to ask you about your Emerald Jarate (backpack for Medic). I am interested in trading you for that, but I'm unsure if you're willing to part with it.

Definitely. Not surprised that a few servers are just on that map for achievement farmers, with admins angrily shouting at some players to stop hindering progress.

This always happens after major updates. It also doesn't help that the items are either obtained with keys or crafted with the generic 'make class weapon' blueprints only.

The Naughty Crates have a chance for Strange items. Stange Spy-cicle would be lovely, indeed.

I too have a Festive Stickybomb Launcher which I probably will rarely use (as in, mostly in VSH), so it's up for trade.

One more thing concerning our server. omgkitties and I discussed the possibility of adding Taunt Crits, Amplifier, and Goomba Stomp to our server. He, Gpop, and I would be able to enable/disable them as needed with cvars, will be set to work well in both vanilla and VSH, and for the first one I am intending to make it just mini-crits. However, he also suggested that I discuss this with the rest of you just to make things certain.

edit- make that 5 done.
edit 2- make it 6.

Clasassin is more luck on having the game go on for awhile.  Getting the Medic kill is a bitch.
Cap Trap is the easiest.  Pyro + Backburner.
Claim Jumper, Two Minute Warring, Five the Fast Way, and Dead Heat are soloable. 
-- For CJ, go Engie on an empty server an build both tele entrance and exit near the cap point.
-- For TMW, the Scout is fast enough to do it alone on an empty server.
-- For 5tFW, go Engie and build the exit on the last cap point and the entrance on the next to last cap point.  With a bit of luck, teleport just as you cap the next to last point.
-- For DH, just cap the middle three points and switch teams.  Obviously, Scout will get this done the fastest.

Ehe, I'm kinda attached to that item. It just makes the medic look cooler, so I'd rather keep it. Unless I happen to find another one if they come out next Halloween.....

I have an extra Emerald Jarate.

[Agent of the BSoD]

Freakin YES! I went into a server, that by the time I connected there was no one on, and the map changed, and I came in as spectator. So I left and got an item, the Cow Mangler 5000! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! That's one way to get a good weapon! :3

[DX7.EP]

The Mangler's a lot of fun to use. Great for anti-group attacks and for shutting down Engie nests for other teammates.

Plus there is little that can beat discombobulating people :3

[Dr.Strafe]

Is there anything in particular your looking for? Is there anything from my backpack (first two pages) that you might be interested in?

[Barrakketh]

Nope.  Might as well get rid of it anyway since they aren't even worth a scrap :V

The DH is better for sentries. Also, why discombobulate when you can kill?

[Barrakketh]

Because you enjoy the fact that it takes 5-7 hits to destroy a mini sentry?

[DX7.EP]

Of course, of course, and thus I don't use the Mangler (more of a BB/Original user).

The Bison, however...yeah, that suits my love of killing via discombobulation >:V

[Romantique Tp]

Just downloaded this, this game is fun.
Though it would be better if you could run as fast as Doomguy.
hmmmmmm

Welcome to Team Fortress 2, one of the best games ever made!

Yeah, Doomguy runs HELLA fast. Faster than Scout. Although I imagine that the game would be hard to control if everyone ran at a comparable speed to Doomguy.

[Fetch()tirade]

The new flamethrower is retarded. I was a heavy, shooting at a pyro who was just activating the alt-fire from about 5 to 7 feet away. Not only did I not kill him, he then charged our spawn (blue's for dustbowl stage 2) and killed me, the medic healing me, and 3 other people who had just walked out the door.

People say, "Oh it's not OP because it doesn't have airblast." Horseshit. Unless you happen to be a pyro who knows how to airblast properly, you stand no chance against a pyro with a full charge. I don't even know why Valve decided to add the health restore. Hell, they might as well just have thrown in a health and speed boost to fully recreate the Nighteam experience.

He can be killed after the taunt is completed, while he is taunting it is like having the DR damage reduction.  If you couldn't kill a pyro (or stayed close enough to him that he was already in flamethrower range then you really need to learn to aim/play smarter, especially since you had a medic on you.

Do you know what does more damage than a crit flamethrower?  The minigun at close range.  And that is without critting.  You should've been more than capable of killing him before he reached you.

As a long-time Pyro player, I am seconding that. Getting up close to a Heavy who sees you coming is usually suicide.

[InfernalExuro]

For everyone who had planned a trade with me, I should be off 13-hour nights as of tomorrow morning. I should finally be able to get around to trading. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to collapse into bed. :getdown:

[Kyo Tanaka]

Anyone got the new Pyro weapons up for trade? I'd like to get my hands on one, and for some reason I keep getting duplicates of the same weapons in a row. Like the Sleeper sniper.

[yuyukos]

Tried to craft a Phlogiston.
>Pyro Token
>Primary Token
>Scrap Metal
... Degreaser. Crafting is suffering. At least I unboxed a strange YER today, but my holiday crates have been nothing but Misc. slots.

I tried to craft it three times. I got 2 backburners and a Degreaser.

[DX7.EP]

While trading with yuyukos, we thought that a Christmas meet-up (probably 5-8PM EST again) would be a good idea, and a great place to use those Secret Saxtons we all got. Any takers?

[lumber_of_the_beast]

Isn't the holiday stuff uncrate-only right now?

[Aya Reiko]

I have a Phlogiston via random drop.  Want it?  What do you got?

[DX7.EP]

It was, but now it can be purchased at will, among other methods.

[Kyo Tanaka]

I can trade a strange Half-Zan and a bit of Vintages.

[N-Forza]

Anybody want a regular, non-craftable Powerjack? I'll just give it away, since it's better than just deleting it. I have a Strange one so I don't need it anymore.

[Dr.Strafe]

I don't have a Powerjack yet, so if you're "donating" it, I'll take it off your hands. Alternatively, I can just trade you something for it.

[N-Forza]

Invitation sent, my name is Japanese that begins with a ⑨. If you really want, you can just give me some other weapon you don't want anymore.

[yuyukos]

If you want anything from my backpack, just let me know. Relevant links should be in my signature.
