Team Fortress 128

[DNAbc]

I believe it's myself to blame, but the Saharah Spy has made me basically forget how to properly hit-and-run,resulting in hilarious situations which I sap a giant and hope I will kill him in one go (and get brutally murdered.)


Maybe I should stop using the YER

[Kyo Tanaka]

YER is only good if your team doesn't kill all the weaklings right away AND does not have a pyro. They have much faster disguise than the kit, but the only problem are the giants. Just sap then at a spot where he'll get mowed down instead, you murder the little ones. Course, this is more effective with a stock knife, but after you get a backstab or two, bots tend to attack you until you disguise or DR.

Yer is for when you want to backstab bots and quickly redisguise. Any other use for it I dont see happening.

In other news...

An update to Team Fortress 2 has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart Team Fortress 2. The major changes include:
Fixed matchmaking sending players to out-of-date servers
Fixed the server browser showing an incorrect player count in MvM games
Fixed a crash that could occur on map change if another player was being healed by the dispenser or payload cart
Fixed a rare server crash when firing hitscan weapons
Fixed MvM intro video not playing on some Macs
Fixed the sound precache string table being nearly full in non-MvM games
-This was causing the "error writing string table baseline" and "failed reading message net_SetConVar" errors

Possible fix for FF2? Let's see how this will go.

I wasted a hour of my life playing mann up only to get this shitty hat with a dumb unremarkable level http://tf2b.com/tf2/item/MasterBigode/1051177720

[N-Forza]

Don't use the YER in MvM unless you're using it with the Dead Ringer. Even then, you're better off using the Big Earner or something.

FFFFF goddamn.

Does Mann Up really increase your chance of getting rare items?

[Kyo Tanaka]

How does one do Mann Up? I am interested in rare items.

Buy a ticket for $0.99

[Kyo Tanaka]

Buy a ticket for $0.99

For one try? And is it tradable?

[Fetch()tirade]

For one try? And is it tradable?

The ticket does not get used up until a Mann Up mission has been completed.
And yes, they can be traded.

My only question is this: do you have to buy 6 tickets (or however many the badge requires) to finish a Tour of Duty?

[Dr.Strafe]

If you have a ticket, you can keep playing Mann Up until you complete a mission. The ticket is redeemed once you win. And yes, you can trade them, but people seem to be asking for asinine prices for them (multiple keys, etc)

My only question is this: do you have to buy 6 tickets (or however many the badge requires) to finish a Tour of Duty?

Yeah, you will need 6 tickets to complete a Tour. The only catch is that you need to pay attention to which mission you are about to play.  You can select a mission on Coal Town, but be thrown into a mission on Mannworks, you see. If you beat a mission that you have already completed before, you still lose the ticket.

[Gpop]

I still want to know if you're more likely to get rare items in Mann Up outside of botkilling items.

Also, Lol spreadsheet drama

[Barrakketh]

If you beat a mission that you have already completed before, you still lose the ticket.

No, if you're using a Tour of Duty ticket it will only be consumed upon completing a mission that you haven't cleared.

Squad Surplus Vouchers are always used when completing a mission since everyone gets extra drops.

[Romantique Tp]

FFFFF goddamn.

Does Mann Up really increase your chance of getting rare items?

I don't think the chance of getting normal rare items is any higher than usual, but MvM update items do drop a lot if you use vouchers.

And thus my (not so) luxurious Sniper set is completed.

[Dr.Strafe]

No, if you're using a Tour of Duty ticket it will only be consumed upon completing a mission that you haven't cleared.

Then does that mean that you only have one shot at getting a Botkiller weapon? Or does your seventh ticket give you unlimited Mann Ups after completing the Tour?

[Barrakketh]

Then does that mean that you only have one shot at getting a Botkiller weapon? Or does your seventh ticket give you unlimited Mann Ups after completing the Tour?

It takes one ticket to complete a mission.  There are six missions in a Tour of Duty, and upon completing a Tour of Duty you get a botkiller weapon, your badge ranks up, and all of the missions are reset so you can clear them again.

You then have to buy more tickets if you want to clear the missions again and get another botkiller weapon.  Total cost to get a botkiller weapon: $5.94.

[Dr.Strafe]

...and all of the missions are reset so you can clear them again.

and that was the fact that I was seeking. Thanks

Your sniper rifle has the exact same name as my axtinguisher :V

[N-Forza]

Now that the craze has died down a bit, I was finally able to hop into a Mann Up match of Ctrl+Alt+Destruction. There was a bit of trouble from our slightly sketchy Engie, half-Battle Medic, inability to collect cash and Super Scout swarms, but we managed to win in the end. I ran Soldier with the Black Box and Righteous Bison, which helped out a lot when taking on tank and a mass of bots.

[DNAbc]

Sorry mate, being a Mokou fan I couldn't possibly resist naming my Rifle (despite pyro not being my profession...sigh....), I am sorry for all the possible copyright issues and whatsoever.

See you in court.

[Dr.Strafe]

Your sniper rifle has the exact same name as my axtinguisher :V

"Honest Man's Death" is also the name of my S. Dead Ringer :V

[DNAbc]

Nevermind that set, this is the real one.

I was trying to go for a...fiery Mokou vibe, until I realize the outback and anger turns blue when I get on BLU team, dammit.

And...yeah, it's a really classic Sniper loadout, really, but I am F2P. >:3

[Messiah]

But Mokou related names should be associated with pyro items by obligation.

There aren't enough Reisen references in sniper items.

E2: I'm running Chris's FPS Config, so the graphics are totally horrible :V

The trade misadventures of Master Bigode  :V

[Dr.Strafe]

In my trade adventures, I've dealt with people that wanted me to give them my rare stuff, but that kid takes the cake. His ultimate offer was $5 or 4 keys for a S Kritz? Really? What a ponce. :V
