...so, is there going to be some MotK new-year rocketeering, maybe? :V

you can't handle all these bits

Man now I really wanna see a TF2 with low-poly Goldeneye-esque graphics.

ECCE GRATUM ET OPTATUM VER REDUCIT GAUDIA~
I still have a Naughty Crate up for trade if anyone wants.
-
Hmmm...just played a match after a year long hiatus. I don't remember being that good with scout.
That said, I would like to get all the weapons I missed out on.
If a weapon doesn't show up here (http://www.tf2items.com/profiles/76561198008112067?p=1), I want it, and I'll willing to give up any non-vintage weapon for them. I may be willing to trade a vintage if I have 3 of them, but my psuedo OCD or whatever it is forbids me from going any higher. I'm open to negotiations though.

I want to see TF2 with Slappers mode :V
I decided to play for a bit to get the Gift Grab achievement. Practiced with the Axtinguisher for a bit; not particularly good with it so far.

I was more partial to the Remote mines. Fast detonation in their face. YEAH. But I'll settle for some Paintball mode or even the Gold PP7 :D

aaaaaaand now I've got the music from the Dam on repeat in my head AGAIN, thanks guys
-
I decided to play for a bit to get the Gift Grab achievement. Practiced with the Axtinguisher for a bit; not particularly good with it so far.
Axtinguisher benefits more from coming out of the sidelines and flanking people, not supplementing a head-on assault. It's also probably the fastest way for a Pyro to kill a Heavy, so long as you're either agile enough to stay out from in front of him (Heavies only need about a half second at point blank range to slaughter a full-health Pyro, so be wary) or catch him by complete surprise. You can usually take out a Medic with one swipe, depending on how long you left the flamethrower gout on him while you were closing the distance.
Otherwise it's a LOT of fun. Typical weapon to use with it is the Degreaser (duh) but I've seen some people get away with the Backburner or default Flamethrower nonetheless.
Degreaser + Reserve Shooter = Axtinguisher is in your hands before you even think of hitting quickswap :getdown:
-
In my experience, puff-and-sting works on everything but a Heavy or overhealed Soldier pretty much all the time. For a Heavy, you either need to hold the flame on him a moment longer or hit twice with the Axtinguisher, which is dangerous. Ambushing is key.
-
I don't have a Degreaser yet, so I've been attempting to pair it with the Backburner for ambush tactics. Degreaser would be more ideal for puff-and-sting, but right now my current tactics are more along the tactics of "light target, switch and attack if I have time, or retreat if I'm outgunned". I pretty much do everything I can to avoid a direct face-to-face confrontation when playing Pyro.
-
Err I thought this was going into GBA since it has it's own server now
-
I was thinking the same as well, or at least for the next events we can make another thread regarding server-only events and happenings over at GBA.
That is, once we have confirmation of when we'll be killing each other next :V
-
New Years this weekend?
-
Sounds fine with me. Might not be able to make it myself, thanks to holiday and desktop woes.
We should probably make the TF2 server thread as I think another meet on Chinese New Year is a good idea, and we can separate administration issues from general chatter (some questions on plugins for our server that I noted are yet unanswered, for instance).
-
Well I can make the new thread then, we'll try to set up for New Year's then.
EDIT: DONE! (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,11689.0.html)
-
I should stop playing on foundry, the Medics there don't heal because they are trying to get the classassin achievement.
I also unboxed a Festive Flamethrower and a Strange Your Eternal Reward, if anyone's interested then what Festive or Strange weapon can you offer? But for festive weapons I'm mostly looking for a Festive Minigun.

I have a Festive Minigun that you can have.

Derp, I meant to say Medigun, they both start with and M and end in gun. But a Minigun is ok too, since it's the second one I want. This is my Steam ID (http://steamcommunity.com/id/SSkye/).

It was pretty hilarious when they signed in. :getdown: (think I was the only other person on the server who understood their name) Wonder if they're on MotK, cause I have no idea who this person is. :\
Eh, I sometimes see people with Touhou names on my usual server (last night there was one Yakumo Ran on the other team). I doubt they were from here.

That Strange Festive Sticky Launcher is so shiny, and I main Demoman, but I don't think you'd be willing to trade that away. :qq:
I like that Vintage DR too, but I rarely play Spy and I suck with DR.
-

Play some more DR Spy then. I started off ghastly with the thing. About 10 hours of consistent play and I'm pretty goddamn deadly, and hard as hell to kill. Use an Enforcer with it for bonus awesome.

That Sticky Launcher is my very first strange, of course I'll be keeping it.
However, if I get a good one from that Naughty crate of yours, I'm going to give it to you.

Alright, Steam's in my sig. I'll get on later today and give you the crate, and if you don't get anything you like then I guess I'll just take some Spy stuff from ya.

Oh my gosh, so sorry for late reply. Was playing some TDU2.
1:30 in afternoon here. We can trade right now if you want.
-
I'm on the prowl for a Strange Pistol, if anyone one up for trade. I have the following Stanges and Festives up for whomever is interested:
Strange - Black Box, Brass Beast, Fists, Eyelander, Syringe Gun, and Sandman
Festive - Rocket Launcher, Flamethrower, Stickybomb, Wrench, and Sniper Rifle (sorry, I'm keeping that SF Minigun :3)
There is also an assortment of random items on the first two pages that I am willing to part with.
-
Who was it that I was gonna trade my Strange Syringe Gun for the Strange Sniper Rifle for?
Also, this just in, the Spycicle is amazing. I love it :V
-
That was me Gpop :derp:
-
I got an extra Naughty Crate and this game (http://store.steampowered.com/app/91200/) which I got from the Steam Coal thing, though I'm not sure if I should trade the game for some items or keep it. I'm not really interested in Tower Defense or in this case Tower Offense games, but I kinda like trying new genres. So I might keep it if no one wants it.
-
Oh man, newbies and low skilled players in this game are an endless source of amusement. My friend and I try to rationalize their behaviour, or get into their heads, trying to explain their thoughts. 'Oh hey, why is there an identical heavy right next to the one I'm healing? Oh, why is there only one now? Did he drop his Sascha? Huh, must have been server lag... ignore and continue.' (in case you did not understand, we were a spy disguised as the very same heavy that the newbie medic was healing, then Your Eternal Reward'd said heavy's back yet again. The medic was probably too new to realize what happened and continued to heal us after we 'disappeared' the real heavy). Or 'they must have read or seen somewhere that medic and heavy is a winning combination. Well, I hope we don't discourage them from playing the game as we crush their hopes like that'. 'Ahh, he blew himself up again... Will he make it this time?... (brief pause) That demoman here is simply the Chosen One.' And so on and so forth. One person playing and the other one doing the commentary beats playing cooperatively together, in my humble opinion. Turns my friend's tendency to nerdrage into comedy gold, too.

Yesterday, when I was in a payload match, there were four W+M1 pyros on the enemy team. One of them had a Server-Clearing Flamethrower.
:derp:
Hm, I want a strange stickybomb launcher now.

During a trade in our meetup, I got a degreaserrrrrrrrrrr! <3 I really like that fast weapon switch. Now all I need is that game breaking-overpowered-ridiculous-uber Phlogistinator. That thing is just pure evil. (and lagtastic, just like the Double Cross map) I still haven't used my Secret Saxton yet. I will eventually. :V (I didn't forget >_>)
-
Phlogistinator doesn't appeal to me because of that lack of an airblaster. Seems like a huge hindrance doesn't it? Especially now that you're vulnerable to rockets now eh?
-
Hm, I want a strange stickybomb launcher now.
The funny thing is...I just unboxed a Festive Stickybomb Launcher :V

Oh that was one of the best meets I have ever gone into.
The VSH was funny too. GG's to everyone who went in!

So random. :derp: Though it is always fun to be a scout with a minigun. And in the case of a spy getting Bonk Energy Drink, it literally takes over part of his arm, and looks kinda funky.
Oh, and a grenade launcher with 190+ ammo is awesome.
-
Black Box with clip of 1 and no spare ammo is not awesome :derp:
Hope everyone had fun.
-
I experienced first hand that not even Hale's muscles can stop that jerk train :V
-

It is decided. Yukari is the strongest class most powerful force that mere humans can't compete with. :V
That was my first experience with Saxton Hale too. Have to say it was quite funny when someone couldn't hit that one mini sentry. :getdown:
-
How about successful minisentry defense on dustbowl? :V
-
Black Box with clip of 1 and no spare ammo is not awesome :derp:
That's the Army of One, a custom item that fires a very powerful but slow rocket.
I experienced first hand that not even Hale's muscles can stop that jerk train :V
Nope, Yukari wins above all. At least with the Sawmill blades we VSH players joke that Hale is taking a shave.
Have to say it was quite funny when someone couldn't hit that one mini sentry. :getdown:
Indeed. :V
Many Hale players tend to go for sentries first, and mini-sentries are just as annoying here as they are in the main game. So quite a lot of damage can be done with those!
-
So today I had some really fun matches with kyo. Since he had the philog I decided to go medic and it was so awesome cuz he had the crits ready.so once he activated that he eliminated the sentries and people like no big deal. However I had to leave so we couldn't do it much more =( I look forward to doing it again though ^^ also get a manmelter so you can extinguish me :V

My Philog came with a great price... T_T
I'll try to get MANMELTER as soon as I can though
I've got a couple of matches done with a medic combo, and I pushed the enemy so far back into their spawn and hold them there for a few seconds. This is a great pubstomp weapon. I've believe that I've got enough experience to post what to do against a certain enemy and how to counter them.
-
This game is fun I have no idea why I did not try it sooner, if you want too add me my Steam name is the same demonbman, I main Engie/Demoman and will play anything that isn't Heavy or Soldier
-
but soldier is fun why wont you play soldier
-
I just don't really like how slow he moves :/ And I'm terrible with the Rocket Launcher I have no idea what it is I just can't hit anything near what I am actually shooting at
-

His Equalizer also makes him move faster in case you took very heavy firepower.
Soldier is an easiest class (pyro dont count) to play in the Offense.
-
I know how easy his, but I just generally don't like using him :/, and The Equalizer to me is really risky to use if your not that good as the soldier in the first place.
-
Have to say it was quite funny when someone couldn't hit that one mini sentry. :getdown:
That was my sentry. Did several thousand points of damage before it blew up :getdown:
Also whoever told me that my festive crates would turn into normal crates :derp: they simply were deleted the 1st.
As for randomizer... Heavy: Bazaar Bargain, Darwin Danger Shield, Tribal Shiv. I really wanted a medic to overheal me since I had 325 health with the shield on.
-

Indeed. Sparda gave me one of his crates earlier today, and it seemed to simply vanish. Of course, not before I went and bought another Naughty Key... which is still in my inventory for some reason. :V So much for the festive keys becoming "normal" keys.. Ehh.. I'm sure it will happen later
I main Engie/Demoman and will play anything that isn't Heavy or Soldier
Good to have another member of the crew playing! As far as the classes go, I recommend giving all of them a fair shake before simply writing them off. In the beginning of my TF2 career, I swore that I couldn't "get" the Spy. After quite a bit of playing, he became one of my favorites, as well as the most used class for me by far.
If running speed is your main turn-off, then I advise looking at their strong points instead. Blowing up a group of enemies with a single critical rocket will change your tune.. ;)

I've given each class a good solid hour of playing, but I guess a hour isn't enough, so I will give them another shot. I guess you only get better with time, and I know what you mean about the spy thing, I was like that with the Demoman, and now he is my second main!
-
One hour is not enough to learn the classes well, I think - at least 6 per class minimum, I say, after getting some of the achievement items to experiement with different gameplay mechanics.
Good to see a new player on board though!
Also whoever told me that my festive crates would turn into normal crates :derp: they simply were deleted the 1st.
Damn.

Thank god I used up my last Naughty Key on that Naughty Crate on the 31st :V Got myself a Festive Stickybomb Launcher o/

I've got a Dueling Mini-Game, 5 Uses untouched. Fresh from random drop!
-
I have 3 unused ones from drops that you can have (will trade in values according to standard TF2 pricing guides).
-
I'd also appreciate any dueling games people feel like slinging my way.
I have 3 unused ones from drops that you can have (will trade in values according to standard TF2 pricing guides).
Which is?
-
I use this item pricing guide (https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AnM9vQU7XgF9dFM2cldGZlhweWFEUURQU2pmOGJVMlE&gid=0) for such trades. Also commonly used in trade servers.
They are worth anywhere from a scrap to a reclaimed, depending on number of uses left. As they are full I'll go with 1 reclaimed per dueling item.
-
I buying dueling mini games with 5 uses for 1 reclaimed and the ones with 3 uses for 2 scraps.
-
Very well, but I'll be keeping the 3-use one and one of my full dueling sets, though.
Feel free to send a trade invite on Steam - mine's in my sig.
-
I have never paid more than a scrap apiece for mini-games. Y'all are crazy.
-
Very well! Add me on Steam so we can trade later on.
And I must be lucky. I found someone trading a Spycicle at a very good price yesterday, and I received the Holiday Punch (Thank you Must Hug All Cats!) for free!
-

I could get a Spy-cicle for approximately 2 reclaimed right now (but I already had mine from opening a crate).
Also managed to uncrate a Strange Stickybomb Launcher and a Strange Your Eternal Reward, so that was two keys worth of metal well spent.

The 33 has one of those (oh hey and I have a 33!). But trading 1 scrap for it... Well I dont buy keys so better for you then me :P (If you buy keys).

I just found out that the Strange Medigun's rank counter is the uber counter, and assists do not contribute to the rank. If I appear to be wasting ubers during a future MotK TF2 Meetup, I probably am wasting them and you know the reason.
Also (http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/595832927312195461/CC16564B0B2CF1FEFFB7E6A368D52A8857A13E4F/)

How much metal for one?
-
and this is why strange weapons are a problem
Except it's more likely that I'll end up playing correctly, assuming the meetups don't turn to loldomizer. Wasting ubers on jail top/surf end is quite normal. (loldmsurf)
-
Besides, it's better to waste ubers on yourself to save yourself than to lose it when you're killed with a charged uber.
-

Granted. Ubers are really a "use it or lose it" thing.
But using your uber as you walk out of spawn or when the only guy around is a Sniper is... :colonveeplusalpha:
unless of course it is the dreaded melee sniper of doom
-
How much metal for one?
TF2WH has them for 9,940 credits, so I'd say no more than 2ref 1 rec (you can sell a refined to them for 4,400 credits, and a reclaimed for 1,275).
-
Uh, so I don't know if this has happened to anyone else, but this is a first for me. I was in training mode (just testing out some weapons) and the match I was in just quit with the following error:
"Secure Connection Failed
A connection to the Steam VAC servers could not be made. ..."
How does this happen I don't even...
-
That has occured to me a few times. Now why that is the case, well, I bet Steam server overload, downtime, client connection issue, or something of the sort.
-
I am once again buying dueling mini games. Give me them all :3
-
"Secure Connection Failed
A connection to the Steam VAC servers could not be made. ..."
How does this happen I don't even...
This is what normally punts me offline whenever I tried playing. The forty hours of Pyro play I've accumulated had to be spread out between occasionally fifteen minute intervals, because Steam refused to stay connected and kept flipping me over to Offline, which in turn means no Valve Anti-Cheat. A minute or so after that, the server would punt me off.

Here's my backpack: http://tf2b.com/?id=76561197962603076
Nothing really for trade except for some metal, a Bootlegger and lots of crates (last page), but I'm looking for Duel Mini-games pretty much all the time so if have any, let's work something out.
-
Man, ever since those recipe has been released, I've been getting into some good trades.
Traded a scout weapon for a Strange L', and somehow managed to trade something for an Ellis' Cap.
-
Ellis' Caps are craftable now, so that's why the price spiked.
Oh, and I could use that spare Bootlegger if there's anything on the last page of my BP that interests you.
-
Oh, and I have the Scout's Halloween footwear, if anyone cares. I also uncrated a Strange Scottish Resistance today. Trading that, too.
Unless you're going to be crafting those Jags, I'll take them.
-
Yessssss, I have a phlog. Thanks shady for that backburner! Only thing about it is that using it lags me down, but whatever, it's awesome. :derp:
-
Hm.. The S Scottish Resistance looks tempting. It might persuade me to play more Demoman. Anything of mine that suits your fancy?
-
Name tag might be nice.
-
I sold my Ellis' Cap 1 day before it became craftable and I was holding it for like, 2 months.
Bring me the Hina doll.
-
Looking to trade all my crates and Engineer weapons for metal
I can also give the non-strange weapons I also have in Strange quality
And some of my hats and miscs
Backpack (http://tf2b.com/?id=Gamecubic)
I also appear to have more strange Amputator kills than strange Axtinguisher kills :derp:
-
How much metal for a 32, 2x 28s, 3x 24s, 3x 20s, and the 19?
-
Personally, I'd just go 1 scrap for every 2 crates, so that would be 5 scrap
-
Name tag might be nice.
Bah.. I was just about to use that too. Alright, we have a deal.
Gamecubic, I'll toss you a scrap for both of those 23's.
-
Medieval mode apparently has a built-in third person mode (http://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/oh8e8/)
-
I have crates too you know!!!!!
If you were going to use the name tag, that's fine. I'll take the Strange Brass Beast and the Strange Amputator instead.
-

This is fine with me. 1 Rec 2 Scrap ok?

Best amount of achievements at one time. Don't know how, but I did it.
And I'm also becoming quite decent at playing spy. :3
-
I uncrated a Magnificient Mongolian, if anyone is interested. I'll trade it for metal or some of the new weapons (minus the Heavy gloves and Scout wrapping paper tube).
-
Gah! Crate #23 hates me. I don't want Scout stuff. I want that Strange Pistol, dammit.

I've managed to setup a local surf server, thanks to MetaMod:Source, SourceMod and RFBhop and I have to say, "rfbhop_multiplier 100" is madness (defaults to 1)

Shotgun and Ambassador seems really good for me. What do you want for them?
Also, I'm looking for 2 L'Etrangers. Mostly for the Familiar Fez set for that silent cloak on the dead ringer. (the second gun for crafting the hat)
2x Crate 29s, strange Boston Basher, and a normal Detonator for my Strange Shotgun and Strange Ambassador ok?
Cool. I'd be interested in trading for the Rocket Launcher and/or the Pain Train. Also, I know that Demonbman is looking for a Strange Jag, so track him down.
Yeah, he messaged me earlier and I got it to him, thanks. Are you willing to trade Name Tags? If so, would you do 3 Name Tags and a Strange Black Box for my Strange Rocket Launcher and Strange Pain Train?
Goddamit i wanted that.
I have more Strange Ambassadors, but I'm using my other Strange Shotgun, sorry.
-
I have more Strange Ambassadors, but I'm using my other Strange Shotgun, sorry.
I'd like to get my hands on a strange amba, but regrettably doubt I have anything you might care to trade for it. (of course you could always check just to see) :derp:
-

I'm not against trading Nametags, although I buy them so I can use them.. However, your trade is a bit steep. I can go 1 Nametag and the the Black Box for the two, but not more.. Sorry.
-
The strange RL is actually the most valuable non-limited strange. His deal is better than anything you'd find at normal market price really. :V
-
Finally get round to posting...
Also, yeah, look at how empty and small (and pointless) my backpack (http://tf2b.com/profiles/76561198046158441) is! [Not big surprise; only 5 hours of play so far.]
I swear I'll have that full at some point. ><

That being the case, I still don't have 3 nametags. The trade isn't that important anyway. :V

I spy that Kanjou uses an F2P account! This will make trades and multi-user Steam chats much more difficult; I'd get around it by buying any item (cheap hats are probably a good idea - you can easily get weapons as you go) off the TF2 store.

I was about to ask about stuff like that...
Now I know the answer, I'll be right back. :derp:

2x Crate 29s, strange Boston Basher, and a normal Detonator for my Strange Shotgun and Strange Ambassador ok?
That's a deal. I don't use crates anyways :V

My bro gave me a Flamboyant Flamenco, which made me play a few rounds of payload as Pyro for the first time in months. Around 50 kills and about 20 deaths in 3 rounds. I think I'm getting the hang of this!
I'm thinking of trading away the Flamenco for an Attendant so I can get the Gas Jockey set bonus, but I dunno. I really like this hat even though I'm not a hat collector. Plus, Gas Jockey = no Axtinguishing and the satisfaction that comes from it.
Or, I can trade it away for a Madame Dixie!
-
Btw
Also, I'm looking for 2 L'Etrangers. Mostly for the Familiar Fez set for that silent cloak on the dead ringer. (the second gun for crafting the hat)
So if anyone ever gets one or 2 I'd like it so I can get my set. Silent Dead Ringer sounds so awesomely OP :V

The Flamenco is my second-favorite among Pyro hats, next to the Pyromancer's Mask. If the Pyromancer's ever gets turned into a misc item, I'm going to get one to go along with it. :V
And I used to use the Gas Jockey set back when it first came out. I missed my Axetinguisher far too much to keep running with that setup, though, and the deal was sealed when they went ahead and gave the Powerjack the melee vulnerability to top off the extra bullet damage.
-
I'm starting to get incredibly bored of Intox Surf #1...
- Engies break the server
- The server has a plugin to prevent sentries from automatically shooting at people. Fair enough. Put two level 3 sentries watching a single surf ramp1, and nobody can cross. But that plugin also breaks the Pyro's air blast. I can reflect projectiles but I can't push or extinguish people.
- Teleporters take non-surfers/scoots2 to the end without effort. Since they have no problem whatsoever coming back in less than 5 seconds after they die, any form of truce3 is pointless.
- Alternatively, they take people in the harder parts of the map, way further than any scoot2 would be able to reach, and they are slower than surfers. (because they didn't have to get speed to reach that point) And with player clipping, they just block everyone from surfing.
- Eureka Effect in melee only sudden death. While most people are fighting in jail4, engies can safely return to spawn any time they please. And they get spawn protection after warping themselves back to spawn. And there's no cooldown so they can spam Mouse2 for infinite spawn protection. Not only are they safe from the people in jail, but they're also safe from the people who can surf to the end in less than a minute to get back to the spawns5.
- Most people suck at deathmatching. I'm not supposed to pull off 50-10 as Pyro(no airblast) on sniper maps like surf_the_flow (http://i.imgur.com/ejT29.jpg) or surf_bathroom_final (http://i.imgur.com/trGAV.jpg). It gets boring to have no challenge at all. There's the occasional regular that comes in and actually knows how to play first person shooters, but there's usually no challenge at all.

TL;DR: Looking for classic TF2 servers to play on. Suggest. That means no VSH, no randomizer, no prophunt, no whacky gameplay mods. Just classic TF2.
1 The long slanted blocks you slide on.
2 People who can't surf and generally go Scout so the double jump + FaN jump + Atomizer jump help them. It's worth noting that any form of midair jump makes you lose all your speed. They are often found hanging low on the ramps, going around a snail's pace, stopping people from going faster. The use of the word "Scoot" is specific to Intox Surf #1.
3 When you get to the end of the map, usually you don't kill the other surfers that are at the end. Most non-arena maps let you kill people who have failed the surf so you can just farm points peacefully.
4 Where people who fall of the surf ramps go.
5 When you finish a surf map, you can usually go back to the top of the map to restock on ammo and life. Also to kill AFKers during sudden death.

I agree this map is silly, having played it as well (albeit in CS).

If I do look for a regular match, I tend to favour LotusClan and NoHeroes servers, and frequent Payload maps. However lately I've been joining whatever games anyone else is in, which results in a few too many Dustbowl rounds with lousy Engie camps.

I'm loving foundry.
The huge map's amazing for spy. Many routes to flank the enemy, ammo boxes and health packs galore.
Too bad my local server doesn't add this on the rotation.

http://tf2b.com/?id=76561198045707641
My Touhou collection is coming along nicely, though some items still need names. So far:
- Reimu's Incident-Solving Rocket Launcher (Liberty Launcher) [inspired by a miko skin for the soldier]
- Yuuka's Personal 12-Gauge (Shotgun)
- Reisen's Handgun (Pistol)
- Nitori's Wrench (Wrench) [not named yet]
- Youmu's Roukanken (Zatoichi) [not named yet]
- Spell-Card-on-a-Stick (Objector) [Reimu decal and a quote from one of her spell cards in DS]
- Aya, Traditional Reporter of Fantasy (Photo Badge) [short description]
If ever they make a Strange Concheror, I'm naming it the Moriya Shrine Portable.
Also, Poniponiponi is a fantastic server.

I have more Strange Ambassadors, but I'm using my other Strange Shotgun, sorry.
What do want for it? Check my backpack (Stranges and anything equipped I am not going to give, besides that strange bonesaw.)
On an unrelated note, guess what Steam gave me.

Crates, too.

Finally made a Backpack viewer thingy you can find my backpack here (http://www.tf2items.com/id/Demonbman) let me know if anyone wants something that is tradeable, all stranges are up for grabs except The Jag and Knife.
-
yuyukos: Friend me if you haven't already and message me when you're ready. I'll only trade 2 17s and 2 32s though. I'll throw in a random weapon to make up for it.

That Strange Soda Popper looks mighty tasty. What would you like for it?
Edit- I have it now. :3 This will do nicely. Thanks again
-
Hmm...in all honesty, I'm not doing so great with my strange Amby. So if anyone got a Strange Enforcer later, I'm willing to trade mine up for that.
-
I know someone who'd kill for that S. Amby *looks at Frey*. Considering the current value on TF2 pricing guides is 1-2 rec, and IIRC S. Enforcers don't drop yet, it makes more sense to trade it off for the metal as I think the S. Enforcer will start with 1 ref minimum baseline.
-
Regrettably I lack the metal for such a transaction (since I keep giving spares to new players and thus cannot make metal). Last I heard the sharp dresser (a cosmetic knife for the spy) could be traded for a decent amount of metal, but I think Gpop would be better waiting for the enforcer crate to pop up. I doubt that it'll be too long before we see a crate with it (only 2-3 more years). :V I could always give you my spare Coup' Disaster though! (again :V)
-
Coupe D'isasters tend to go for 1 to 1.33 ref, according to this (https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AnM9vQU7XgF9dFM2cldGZlhweWFEUURQU2pmOGJVMlE&gid=0). I think Gpop can throw in a few spare weapons along to even the deal a bit.
-
Nah, I'll just wait for a Strange Enforcer more. I really don't like the idea of trading for scraps.
-
I just traded for a Strange Gunslinger and Strange Festive Flamethrower. I'm one happy evil little bastard right now.
Adding my normal Festive Flamethrower to the list of extra festives up for trade.

You lucky bastard.
-
How much did you give for the S. Gunslinger, just out of curiosity? Those tend to require an obscene amount of keys to get in a trade. :V
-
My little secret.
7 keys...
[/size] :derp: Yeah, it was a hefty price, but it was really the best price I could find for it at the time, and the seller was really cool. Some people wanted 15+ Refined for it, which would have taken ages to stockpile.
I'll take it off your hands then :V
2 Reclaimed seems to be about the going price..
-
Hint for those willing to buy store items and sell them off for metal: buy gift wrap.
Average price for one is around 2.66 to 3 ref, but in-store price is $1.99. Compare that to black/white paint (5-ish ref, $4.99) and keys (2.33-2.66 ref, $2.49),

That's fine. Just hit me up whenever you're ready. I'll reserve it for you in the mean time.
Also. Strange Festive Knife GET! brb..maniacal laughter.. >:D
This means that I am finally retiring my beloved Strange Knife after 400+ kills. (thanks again, Exuro) It's up for trade now if anyone is interested.

...actually I want that strange knife now :V
-
I want it - damnit Gpop, but I lack much metal anyway :V
-
Heh. 3 people gunning for it already. Shady, Gpop, and EP. Guess that means you'll have to all FIGHT TO THE DEATH. >:D
-
If that is the case then Shady instantly loses due to netbook. :V
...hm, about 1 ref for one (usually new) one, I see. Well, I'm not sure how the current kill counter would affect pricing, though. Might be able to scrap together a trade.
-
Kill count will reset upon trading. It will only remain if I were to gift the knife to someone.
Yeah, the going rate seems to be 1 Refined.. I know you three are all trying to save your metal for other purposes, but I think we'll work something out. So, I guess I'll give first dibs in the order in which you guys expressed interest. Shady, then Gpop, then EP. Shady seems to be hurting for metal until the next drop set.. but we'll see >:D
-
An S.knife is 1 ref each. I bought it with that price.
I never really did like the festiveness of an S. Festive knife. I like stock better.
Oh also, I'm willing to pay 1 ref for a strange amby.
-
I actually have a refined on me now, but unfortunately I accidentally created it with a non-tradable item I had which the ref itself non-tradable x.x
-
Yeah, I'm not asking for more than the Ref, honestly. That is unless the guys get into a bidding war... We'll see how things go here in the next day or so. I'm not in a rush.
I felt the same way as you did about Festives, Yukarin. I guess along the way, they sort of grew on me. The lights are pretty cool in-game.
And yes, the Ambassador is nice. A must-have for spypers everywhere :V
-
I can exchange a ref with a Name Tag, as they are worth about 1 ref themselves. However, Exuro has already claimed some interest in it, and even I was alternatively planning to trade it for a Description Tag. However I'm not exactly sure about the former's trade deal.
-
Welp. Shady went off and found a knife of his own. :V Focus now goes to Gpop, unless he concedes to EP.
A ref is fine. Although, the way around the 'non-tradeable' aspect is to use Gift Wrap.. It's a shame that Valve sells that crap. I guess they have to get a cut on the trade as well.
-
Congrats to Shady, now we'll be facestabbed even more often :V
Ugh, that note of Gift Wrap reminds me to probably buy one for my Poker Night Luger, as well as 3 keys. I'm not willing to use that Luger for crafting a dirty item, and should Gpop trade first I might as well trade BSoD the Name Tag for his Description Tag and his 2 S33 crates, then try to unbox a Strange YER again. :V (and afterwards go for the S. Knife using S24s)
On an off-note, I decided to sum up the total cost of opening up all the crates in my alternate account (mostly transferred from my normal one)...US$171.81. :o No way I'm opening all of them up at once!
-
I feel like sacking my 5 keys on trying to get a hat.
How have I fallen so far?

Just got a Strange Festive Sniper Rifle. :3 This means that I'm putting both my Strange Sniper and Festive Sniper up for trade.
I have another trade pending in hopes for a Strange Festive Medigun. If it goes through, I'll be putting my Strange Medigun up as well. Wish me luck. :3

-
That is, if I get a second. :V
Time to frequent trade servers more often, I guess...those Decal Tools I have sitting around should help.
EDIT: After a bit of trading, I've gotten a S. YER, two dirty hats, and two spare weapons. Some progress!
-
Strafe: I'm interested in your Strange Rifle, but the only thing of any value that I have right now is that hat I keep posting about. If you're OK with that, I'll take it.

The only other person that has expressed interest in the Rifle is Sparda, who needs to sell some Demo hat first. I'll keep the rifle aside for you guys. Yeah, Sparda bought it after all, sorry..
EDIT- Well, I managed to get that SF Medigun after all. I just got held over a barrel to do it. :V My Strange Medigun is now available for trade.

Sure! Just hit me up with a trade request then. The profile's in my Sig.

Goddammit.
How come EVERY DAY I get a good spy day, replays decide to shit on me and never save?
Fuck, today I was doing so good, stair stabs, destroying FULL sentry nests, everything, with the vanilla strange knife.
Fuck
-
I feel ya there, except that I've never had the Replay Editor work on my systems. Lost a ton of silly moments that way...oh well, I have FRAPS for that so not a huge loss. But either way... :\
-
ACtually, looks like most survived BUT the one I wanted to see the most, which had the longest life and most deaths. Damn, I was pretty much the only person on my team actually doing everything (taking sentries, weakening defense and final payload push, taking out snipers, etc)
I got them so paranoid that the engineer nest disappeared since all engies went pyro :V
-
I got my first airshot kill yesterday with the standard rocket launcher (well, the Original at least). Felt pretty good.
-
I've gotten at least a 5 kill streak several times using the Fist of Steel without the help of Minigun. I manage to save the replay.. but most of them had errors.
-
You know, playing with the Strange Knife more, I think I'll stick to the normal knife now. Having a lack of knife from those pyros really hurt, but the original knife is pretty much what I need, I was killing everyone anyways :V

Excellent. Yeah, I love the default knife as well. Once I remapped the "last disguise" key, and switched to a shorter disguise menu (only using keys 1-3), switching disguises is much easier and efficient. Playing Spy is so much fun :3

Anyone else want a Strange Scottish Resistance? I was hoping to get a Strange Reserve Shooter but welp.

Stabby stabby's spy config disguises you with the function buttons. You can remap it as well in the spy config.
Also yeah, default knife FTW. I don't have a spy-cicle, but I imagine the pain to fight a pyro without a knife.
Besides, cornerstabs take most pyros with ease. :V
-
Well damn, even with the recent update my system still hates replays. Can't even get to the editor regardless of where I get the replays to start with....
However, I think I finally (re-)found the server where a modified VSH mode starring Cave Johnson and the lemon grenade launcher are. Shame it didn't kick in though.
-

I've seen some people get a lot of use out the Conniving Kunai or w/e its called. Taking out a Heavy-Medic combo with backstabs makes you pretty much indestructible for a little while.
'Course, I am terrible at Spy for the time being, so whenever I get even one backstab I get all giddy and shit and then fuck up and get killed :derp:
-
but I imagine the pain to fight a pyro without a knife.
You don't. You pick Enforcer and kill them before the fire invincibility runs out.

TF2WH had a Strange Reserve Shooter going for slightly less than a Strange Scottish Resistance. Both a bit less than a refined.
Stabby stabby's spy config disguises you with the function buttons. You can remap it as well in the spy config.
Function buttons are cumbersome. Simple disguise menu lets you use the buttons 1-3 after selecting the disguise kit.
-

Indeed. Using the Function keys is really no different than the default setup. Reaching to "9" versus reaching to "F9", etc. I find it much easier to just quickly type "4-3-1" while running, and I'm suddenly a Medic. :3 If anything, this practice has helped streamline my Engie construction.. especially Gunslinger.

Using F9 (or the default setup) also means either taking your hands away from WASD or your mouse. That's not ideal. I can keep running with my middle finger and press 1, 2, 3 with my index and ring fingers, so simple disguise wins for me.
If anything, this practice has helped streamline my Engie construction.. especially Gunslinger.
I bind "F" to have a sentry ready to place. Shift+F will destroy an existing sentry and have one ready to place. When I'm a spy, "F" is last disguise. For everyone else, F is melee (more convenient for axtinguishing someone).
-
Kind of hard to trade TF2WH stuff they are already maxed out on inventory of. Otherwise I would've done it a long time ago.

I remapped mine so that F1- F5 are disguises I normally use.
F1 is scout, F2 is sniper, F3 is pyro, F4 is spy, F5 is engie.
To each their own though.

True...unlike the regular sticky bomb launcher, the Scottish Resistance isn't a weapon that a demoman usually uses so it's not really desired.
I'd probably give the Scottish Resistance another shot if they they made the stickies immune to being moved by airblast and other explosives.
-
Lots of good early morning trades. I got a hold of SF Wrench, SF Rocket Launcher, SF Stickybomb, and a Strange Grenade launcher. :3 The only SF weapons I need now belong to that damn Scout... Well, he can wait. :V
I'm putting my Strange Wrench up for trade along with that Strange Medigun, if anyone is interested.
I also have the following (normal) Festives: 2 Wrenches, 2 Rocket Launchers, 1 Sticky, 1 Flamethrower, and 1 Sniper.
I figured I'd let you guys get the first shot at them before I throw them on the trading boards.
-
I'm sorta interested in that Strange Wrench, for when i'm not using the Gunslinger. Just tell me what you want for it.

Strafe: I really want that festive sniper still, but all I have is the S ScotRes. Is that OK?
Exuro: I had a Manmelter drop last night. I'll trade it to you for three random craftables. I also have a Bootlegger I'll trade for any 1 craftable.
-
Sounds good to me! I'll add you and we can get to trading whenever possible.

Speaking of items, I've got a strange Family Business and an uncraft Machina up for grabs.
Also, I really like my new strange Bazaar Bargain even though I'm a poor-as-piss sniper. It just sounds so cool.
-
Just played a bit on the Reddit Great Lakes server. I AM TERRIBLE AT THIS GAME. I can play medic, though.
-
Well since we seem to be talking trading as of late:
Would like to get a... S. knife (default or festive), S. Rifle (any but pisser), S. Ubersaw, S. Reserve, S. Scattergun, S. axetinguisher, or S. Ambassador . Not sure on pricing but most go for one rec (only have 2 atm) from what I understand >.>
Selling: One Coup Disaster (hat crafting duplicate, yay....), anything on page 5 of my backpack, 50% off a Valve title :V, and some crates (26, 31, 32, 33x2, and 37x2) Could also possibly trade my sharp dresser since it's only for aesthetics, but it's still bad ass enough I'd rather not part with it (could try making me an offer though).
-
Strafe: I really want that festive sniper still, but all I have is the S ScotRes. Is that OK?
Yeah, that should be fine. Hit me up at any time.
Freyband: If I can get my hands on a SF Scattergun, I'll keep you in mind when I'm looking to trade out my S Scattergun. It might be a while before all this comes to pass. The SF Scout stuff is just too damn pricy. :V
I'm going to be dramatically slowing down my purchases and un-crating for a while as Valve has waaaaay too much of my money.
However, if I stumble across anything worthwhile, I'll let you guys know.

You might want to wait until you see how the Enforcer is getting nerfed before you decide to get a Strange one (once they're available) :D
At least it has a downside for the Dead Ringer now (it takes longer to uncloak), and I want them to change the "can't see enemy health" thing to always be in effect, not just when you're undisguised.
-
Hm, saw the Beta changes (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/January_27,_2012_Patch_%28Beta%29), and yep, not surprised the Enforcer is getting a nerf. Was doing a bit too well with that gun anyway with it, DR, and YER. :V
But the Sandvich change...agh, that sucks. Hopefully it isn't put into the official releases.
-

I hope it is. And maybe revert the heavy's spin-up buff while they're at it.
-
If that happens might as well go back to Revolver :V
Health is really important to me. So I can tell if I can finish them off with the gun or rather leave them rather fight them and risk too much :V
-
Some servers I play on hide enemy health anyway, so this doesn't matter too much to me. As long as I can still see the damage dealt, I'm fine. I can think of worse things they could have done to the Enforcer. I use the other guns more anyway. :V
Now, they just need to get around to nerfing the Phlog. I like that weapon, but.. MAN is it overpowered.
-
Remove the healing while taunting. It's just entirely stupid how damage entirely stops while they taunt. Need to make it less of an "I pop this and say 'fuck you world!'" weapon. I don't know how it generates it's charge, but with how long it seems to take, it needs nerfed badly. (then again quite a few weapons probably do, such as Exuro would say about the FaN!) :V
Edit: Don't worry about me and the Amba, I just traded Shady for a strange one (first strange! Yay!). Still have one rec, and a crappy hat to toss off! (plus some crates, a 50% off valve, and any spare weapons)
-
Phlog: DEFINITELY needs nerfing at the current rate - slower charge rate + shorter effect duration, at the very least. The very basis of the weapon, to W+M1 all day, is bad enough....
FaN: Major complaints I have with this weapon are VSH-pertaining, so not much comment. But it is annoying even in vanilla play.
Other weapons: Mostly fine as is, since the problems they have usually tie more with the players using them

POWERS OF 2
-
The Phlogistinator is fine (well, aside from the lack of airblast). It shines in three situations:
1) When ambusing people. Pyros are "supposed" to be awesome in close quarters, and quite frankly the flamethrower is a shitty weapon for that. It wouldn't really matter if the flamethrower did no damage except for afterburn, because the Axtinguisher (and sometimes your secondary) are what's used for killing people and afterburn is unlikely to get you any kills (assuming it isn't immediately extinguished). Burst damage is king in TF2, and the flamethrower doesn't deliver.
The Phlogistinator's crits lets it do what the Backburner was meant to do, but better (kill people you get the jump on) since the Backburner has terrible range for when it is actually hitting the enemy's back. Deal with it, the pyro is now situationally an actual threat.
2) When playing against the mentally deficient. If you weren't ambushed, you can see/hear the Pyro use the taunt. Depending on what class you are, you have a few options - heavies can gun him down when the taunt is over, demos can place stickies at his feet and detonate them when the taunt is over, soldiers can juggle him, pyros can airblast him away.
Snipers, engineers, medics, and spies shouldn't be in range of him, and they all move faster than the pyro so they can run away. Snipers could shoot him in the head after he is done taunting (or if your teammates have done any damage to the pyro, a bodyshot will work just fine) and spies could backstab him while the pyro is taunting. Medics and engineers, keep your distance.
3) When being pocketed. Harder to kill, and and the critboost works great when combined with an uber. Counter it the same way you would any other uber - airblast the bastard away from your team.
The very basis of the weapon, to W+M1 all day, is bad enough....
Let's go ahead and nerf heavies first. They don't even really have to press W if they don't want to, and they do several times the damage that a pyro does while also having significantly more health. Oh, and soldiers only have to press M1, demos alternate between M1 and M2.
Actually, even if pyros did nothing but W+M1 against competent opponents I'd say that requires more skill than any of the other combat classes except the scout, because the pyro has to practically get into melee range without the scout's speed and double jumps (mobility) or the spy's disguises and watches (stealth). The same challenge (getting in your opponents' collective faces) without the tools the other ambush classes (scout, spy) have.
-
FaN: Major complaints I have with this weapon are VSH-pertaining, so not much comment. But it is annoying even in vanilla play.
FaN is a downgrade from the stock scattergun. You're basically trading your ability to kill in 2 hits for more constant reloads, reduced air control and knock back that more often than not just screws you over. All Scout unlocks are pretty bad, but FaN is a total joke.

FaN is fun for silly jumps when running the flag. Like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAIcCFeSius).

I wish I was even a tenth as good as Stabby. Ye gods.
-
In response to heavies gunning down a phlog pyro when taunt: If he has a medic healing him after the taunt, then the heavy will do essentially do nothing to him. A balance would be adding the equalizer penalty during the taunt (so medics cant heal or uber you until your rampage ends). You've essentially used an uber on yourself anyways, so I dont think a second one is really necessary (*couch*balanced*cough*) ... As for the FaN, Ive just given into peer pressure and taken up the Scatter (which Ive seen as extremely useful once you become good at dodging). As for other guns: goes by opinion >.>
-
The phlog isn't really that big of a deal for me. Maybe increase the time to charge the Mmph, but I think that's it.
It's annoying to cornerstab these people though, especially when critting.
-
In response to heavies gunning down a phlog pyro when taunt: If he has a medic healing him after the taunt, then the heavy will do essentially do nothing to him.
Unless you meant "a medic healing a pyro while he is taunting means the heavy will do essentially nothing to him", then no. At close range the minigun does more damage than a crit flamethrower (all the time - minigun doesn't need crits to out-damage a crit flamethrower). Unless the heavy was dumb enough to stand right in front of the pyro waiting for the taunt to end, a heavy that can actually aim (which isn't hard) will absolutely destroy a pyro.
If you're a class that has to reload your weapon, shooting at the pyro while he is taunting is dumb unless you're a demo placing stickies at his feet. They die the same way as any other pyro, and they can't burninate you unless you let them get close.

As a Pyro, the thought of ever running into a player like stabby is absolute fucking nightmare fuel. Now you know why I'm so paranoid when it comes time to SPY CHECK ALL THE THINGS.
Oh, and updated my tradelist on the last page. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,11686.msg782788.html#msg782788) Someone loaded me up with stuff for a Backburner to be used in Phlog crafting, which crossed the Conscientious Objector and Sticky Jumper off my list. Added a couple to the stock of tradables too. Planning on getting the Manmelter, Sharp Dresser, and Bootlegger from trades mentioned here as well, once I get the time.
-
Now you know why I'm so paranoid when it comes time to SPY CHECK ALL THE THINGS.

It really does.
I played a couple rounds of KotH as Spy last night. The top of the scoreboard is a very comfortable place. :V For some reason I don't do that well as Spy on Sawmill (though I still managed to take first place the first couple rounds before switching maps), but I absolutely tear through people on Viaduct or Harvest.
-
This happens more than it should...
Agreed there. But on the flip side, should the enemy team do this that typically means that the Spies are busy trying to sap-and-stab, meaning it's much easier to get the job done. If my team gets affected by this, a decent Spy-check could mean a free Spy disguise with a YER. :3
-
I never got the hang of the YER. The DR makes me nigh-unkillable if I'm playing well (my K:D ratio last night was something like 5 or 6 to 1, and that included a couple very stupid deaths on my part), but I a) value being able to disguise to get to people in the first place a lot, and b) like being able to pick my disguise. I'll usually disguise as Pyro or Demo for the movement speed, but I do switch around to Engie or Medic or Sniper as the situation calls for, and I don't want to get stuck as, say, a Heavy for a while.
-
Looks like we have an update. Crate series 38 has arrived, which has Dead Ringer, Submachine Gun, Quick-Fix, and Killing Gloves of Boxing. (or rare item) A strange Dead Ringer would be :3.
They also smoothed and took out bugs in the Foundry map.
-
S. DR? How would that work? I guess it levels up depending on number of times activated. In which case...must...get....
-
Strange DR? All of my moneys Valve, take it.

Hahaha. They actually came out with the Strange Dead Ringer. Yep. I'll definitely be trying to get a hold of this one.
inb4 people randomly jumping off of tall structures just to level it up. :V (edit) Oh, good. You can't do that.
SMG and Quick Fix would be nice to have as well.

Yeah, I noticed that and edited my post accordingly. Anyway, if you manage to get a hold of a crate, then how about a discount on that S Medigun that you're looking to buy? :3
-
I'd take it (a 38 crate) myself. Sounds like one I'd want if I ever got a key (and then I get a quickfix and :colonveeplusalpha:). By the way Exuro I got a Third degree if you really want one (I only really like it for the awesome taunt). Pricing for it is showing up at 1 Reclaimed.
Played a game in 2fort today. I really need a strange ubersaw (since I killed about 10 people, including a medic who mistook himself for being a combat medic).
EDIT:Ok stabby is pretty good... at killing every single fricking thing that breaths (or probably doesnt for that matter it would seem). Nice to know about being able to crouch jump over people. (Also a question: Having a hud that changes to tell you when your cursor over a player is fine with valve? The video I saw had him using a reticle that changed on targeting a players head and also zoom in I think:).

I sold my Strange Rocket Launcher for 7 Ref and used 4 to craft The Attendant. Moving fast is great :V.
Also one of stabby's recent videos said that a target moving in the air was easier to headshot with the Amba and once I tried it, he was right.

Damn if the strange smg isn't expensive. I could've gotten that strange sticky launcher so I could force myself to stop demoknighting to level up my Roukanken. It's not easy to get kills with and burns through its relatively low reserve of ammo very quickly.
Am I regretting buying it? Not it the slightest. :V
-
Is there actually any weapon besides the SMG that has is a fully automatic weapon that doesn't have ridiculous amounts of spread on the shots, a la Heavy miniguns?
-
Not that I can think of atm. Even the pistol (which is semi-auto) has a good amount of spread unless the shots are paced.
Also, I found a way to use it that makes it slightly less sucky: imagine yourself as a really slow scout and use it in the same way you would a scattergun. If the enemy is strafing, strafe in the same direction and keep the reticle on him. In terms of the best general way to use it, it functions about the same way as the shotgun, with around the same effective radius (maybe more if you fire in short bursts). I also recommend turning on the auto-reload, because you'll be doing it a lot. One of the only redeeming traits about the SMG is consistent damage. A full clip is enough to kill a lot of the weaker classes, if most of the shots connect.

Me wants a Strange Persian Persuader. I like the eyelander but it's funnier to travel around maps with charge.

Medic/Pyro main in a nutshell (http://i.imgur.com/LzrTi.jpg)
I love the Reddit servers. It feels like I'm playing with humans, not type-writing chimps :V
The downside of playing against humans is that I can't reflect to save my life.
-
I've got about a day and a half of time logged as a Pyro, alone, and I still have a hard time accurately reflecting everything that comes at me. It usually boils down to any server lag, or if the computer you're playing on is worth a damn, too. Nothing sucks more than seeing the Soldier firing animation, the recoil buck his launcher up, the exhaust plume starts, then the rocket freezes in midair before teleporting into your face. Alternatively, the rocket pauses for a moment after the firing animation before finally deciding to fly away - that'll botch my timing something fierce, too.
-
Noticed stabby has a TwitchTV stream, learned that he's actually a human and not a robot.
-
Every pyro should do that IMO.
Also, what would you like for that sandman? Backpack's here. (http://tf2b.com/?id=YakumoSilver)
Just a scrap or any 2 random weapons, really. That can change if there's anything else you'd like in there.
And I feel your pain on lag reflecting. I usually get the variety that causes rockets to freeze and teleport, myself. It's not quite as bad when the Soldier you're up against has a predictable pattern of rocket fire, at least.
-
Just a scrap or any 2 random weapons, really. That can change if there's anything else you'd like in there.

Not to rain on your parade but strange drs usually go for 5 ref :derp: But hey props to you if you get it for that price.

BLU team really sucked if we could make our base in their base.

That's 3 sentries (that engie in the second shot placed one), not to mention sticky bombs everywhere. (which more were placed too) Took a little bit for them to realize what happened, especially since we had their intel but never left the base with it. :\
And yes, I was using a Quick Fix. First time really using it too. Trying to grab an achievement faster with it.

Definitely a terrible BLU team. If he was using YER and working his way forward that would be more plausible, but even then the team should be watching their backs.
Also, the cart doesn't move any faster after 3 people are pushing so they shouldn't have been clumped up like that.

I predict the scout set will win because scouts kill people and medic don't kill people so scoots r more better useful dan medix
(aka the "doesn't matter; got kills" mentality of most F2Pers/CoDkids)
I also predict that they will be incredibly broken and overpowered weapons. Because there hasn't been a space set with no OP items yet.

I'm hoping for both, actually :X

I'm hoping both sets make it. It would be cool to have every class with a Dr.Grordbort's set. But if only one set wins, then I hope it will be Medic.
-
I'm hoping both wins, I don't mind either. But giving Scout a rocket? FFFFFFF
-
Personally I want more medic stuff. Also I will laugh if the scout gets to use the rocket as a slot weapon. Press mouse 2 to jump up and fire the rocket to fly in the opposite direction from where you are looking (lighting any poor SoB in front of you on fire)! It's only slightly more laughable then the idea of pyrolls (which also sounds like a delicious pastry)!

As an Engineer, I fuckin' love it. My preferred primary gun on my main Engie. >:D
As a Medic, I don't see it as too much of a threat. Yeah, it drains 10% of Uber or so, but as long as you're attentive, you can dodge the shots quite easily.
As a Spy, the Pomson can completely shut you down. Shady and I did some field testing with it and the various cloaking watches. If you have any of the watches engaged and the Pomson shot hits you, you damn near lose the entire cloak gauge. If a Spy does a DR feign on one of those shots, they will reappear almost instantly. However, if your cloak isn't engaged, you only lose a slight amount if a shot hits you.
And as always, the random crits hurt A LOT.
-

I do get hit by Pomson here and there, but unless I'm at >80% it's not a major setback. I don't see many Engies using that directly in combat anyway. I haven't gotten hit by said weapon while cloaked, so can't comment on that.
But as Engie? Definitely a great weapon, but in terms of reliability the shotgun wins out.
-
The Pomson's takeaway isn't that significant to a medic, in my opinion.
-
I don't think I've been shot by the pompson much as a medic (don't know if ones ever killed me either). As long as you know it's coming it's pretty easy to dodge (unless you're in melee range, in which case you should rip 25+% ubercharge back out of the engi). As an engi I like using it for medic rushes because the only other counter is a pyros airblast (which almost never do pyros try that -.-'), but it's a trade off for being able to commit the pointblank murder of my widowmaker.
Something to remember, Kyo: Everyone has weapons they hate. For me it's the phlog and almost any kind of rocket. For Alpha it was the gunslinger. I've also seen many people complain about the spycicle, and the enforcer (I think Yukarin or Yuyuko was hating that one yesterday). Every gun is good at killing something, it just sucks when that thing it's good at killing is you.

However, if your cloak isn't engaged, you only lose a slight amount if a shot hits you.
This is a bigger deal than you think. Losing even a little bit of cloak with the DR means that you can't activate it, so getting hit with the Pomson does one of two things:
- Your DR is up and gets activated, you reappear shortly thereafter and most likely die.
- Your DR wasn't up yet because your health was good and you wanted to travel further, wanted a more believable feign, or there was no one shooting at you yet. But then you get hit with the Pomson and most likely die since you can't use the DR until your cloak fills again.

This is a bigger deal than you think. Losing even a little bit of cloak with the DR means that you can't activate it, so getting hit with the Pomson does one of two things:
As a Spy, the Pomson can completely shut you down.
I wasn't discrediting the Pomson's lethality against Spies. I was just noting the significant difference in the Cloak drain. While losing a slight amount of cloak means that you cannot trigger the DR, at least it you don't lose the entire gauge. The recharge is kinda quick.
-

"Kinda quick" is relative. Even if you only get hit once, that's 3.2 seconds that the enemy has to kill you before you can activate it. 3.2 seconds is a long damned time in TF2 (think of how many stickies and rockets could be coming your way in that time), and unless you got hit right as you rounded a corner there's a good chance you'll die if you were trying to get through a choke point.
-
I think the Uber/Cloak damage could be dialed back by about half since it'll almost always hit twice anyway, but otherwise it's all right.
-

The uber/cloak reduction only happens per-shot, it's not based on the number of hits the projectile does. If you lose 20% of your uber it's because the Engineer fired two shots and both connected.
-
The Pomson is one of the worst things for me to see when playing Spy. That thing is basically a hard counter.

You're making it seem like the Pomson negates your disguise when hit. Your scenario is circumstantial, along the lines of if your disguise is compromised or non-existent. If that were to happen, would you prefer to stand and fight or retreat and try again? If you're in disguise and the Pomson shots are part of a random Spy-check, then continue your role and hopefully they'll get disinterested. The worst thing that could happen is getting hit by a full four shots on the check, or a Pyro joining the scene. It's up to you whether or not you want to lose your disguise while trying to fight back.
Like I said with the Medic, the shots aren't difficult to dodge. Maybe I've just been playing against Engineers with horrible aim and Spy-checking skills. :V

Dammit, I haven't been able to play since before the Australian Christmas patch hit :C
Is this Pomson an Engineer shotgun, or does it shoot some kind of ball projectile thingy, or what? And what exactly does the fancy new Pyro secondary gun do?
-

Yeah, the Pomson is pretty much a Cow Mangler for Engineer, except that the shots drain Uber and Cloak on your enemies and you cannot do a "charge shot". The Pyro secondary, Manmelter, is similar to the Flare Gun, but has the ability to extinguish allies in order to gain guaranteed crits.
-
You're making it seem like the Pomson negates your disguise when hit. Your scenario is circumstantial, along the lines of if your disguise is compromised or non-existent.
Disguises don't work well against good players. If you're fortunate they'll buy you the seconds needed between the time you uncloak until you reach your target and stab it. If not you get spy checked and die before being able to do anything.
The #1 rule about spies is that everyone is a spy. If you have ammo and aren't actively shooting at someone, you should be shooting at any and all "teammates" that you don't see actively firing a weapon. This goes thrice if you're an engineer. As engineer I kill most spies before they get in range to sap any of my buildings (unless they're at spawn).
The only spies that are really annoying are those that do nothing but hang around spawn and sap teleporters the entire round.
Is this Pomson an Engineer shotgun, or does it shoot some kind of ball projectile thingy
It's an engineer primary that shoots projectiles like the Righteous Bison, but also saps uber/cloak.
And what exactly does the fancy new Pyro secondary gun do?
Flare gun without crits against people on fire. M2 lets you extinguish teammates, and gives a crit for each person you put out.
-

Pomson bullets go right through someone, just like a righteous bison. On hit, it reduces cloak or ubercharge meter, depending on what you hit. Being an energy gun, it doesn't have bullets.
The Manmelter's a secondary laser gun for the Pyro. Oh alt-fire, it extinguishes burnt teammates, and adds a guaranteed crit on the manmelter.

I have a Strange Dead Ringer and I want something good for it. Mostly weapons I don't have but metal and keys are OK too.

Gpop was interested in one a while ago. I think he was going to give something like 3 Refined for it? Although.. some people have been asking for more for one.
Anything in particular that you're looking for? TF2TP (http://tf2tp.com/searchMongo72.php) is quite useful for expanding the scope of trading. I'm sure you could do a couple of exchanges to get what you want, as Strange Dead Ringers are still in fairly high demand.
-
I checked and didn't see anything of interest except for one guy who already made the trade. In fact, I guess Gpop's offer is the best I've seen so far.
-
1 key is the lowest I've ever seen for an S.DR. Most of the others sell them for 5 ref.
I'll just wait till s.dr's go to 2 ref status before I set my sights on one.
-
Going price for S. DRs now seem to be 2 keys according to pricing guides, which roughly correlates to 5 ref.
I'll just try and unbox my own, I guess. Have an S38 for that in my alternate account, just not the keys (or the spare funds for them).
-

yeah 3 refined so far, but I might throw in a key since I think I might have enough money for one.
-
According to this (https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AnM9vQU7XgF9dFM2cldGZlhweWFEUURQU2pmOGJVMlE&gid=0) guide EP posted awhile ago, S DR goes for 1.5-2 keys (one key is 2.55 refined). If Gpop we're offering 3 ref and a key you'd be getting about 5.5 refined.
Edit:
Turned on TF2 to see what new was added... Then I get a bunch of spam notices about these ring proposals... (The first of which involved some sorry SOB getting called a "faget," by whoever he was stupid enough to offer it to). I really hope that we don't get notices for each of these damn things -.- (moreover I hope they make it so we don't, because we currently do). Fun stuff logging into tf2 and thinking Im getting a notice calling me a "faget" (I mistook the notices as a PM at first, failing to read the notice in it's entirety).

I'll take a ref then and give 2 ref and 1 key :V if that's alright with him though, since it'll be 4.55 instead.
I was originally saving them up to craft a hat for the silent cloak set :V

A Fez only goes for 2.55 Refined you would be better off just buying one, I bought a level 95 Fez for 2.55 ref.

Sandvich nerf takes effect as of latest update (not surprised, but where's the more needed Enforcer nerf >:()...and oh great, these rings (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Something_Special_For_Someone_Special) are added to make an extra dimension of annoyance in the game. Already received a ton of complaints about it on Steam, mostly due to the global announcement of these rings being accepted as well as the bad taste in some of these (tons of innuendos about, from what I've heard).
This game gets all the more absurd and sillier with each update....
-
Yes, the whole ring announcement thing is quite annoying. One time, I had 5 pop up within a 10 second timeframe. It was frustrating to constantly have to stop to clear off the announcements, else my field of vision would be blocked. Hopefully this nonsense is just for February 14th.
-
People just have more money than sense.
Speaking of, I'll take that offer of 2 ref and a key, Gpop. Add me and we'll trade later.

So, your area isn't whitelisted for the game? I'll look into it for ya.
It's a nice looking knife. I wouldn't mind having one for myself too :V
-
Alpha and I played AVA briefly to get said knife, which does look nice indeed. The knife, however, will require gift wrap to send. Can't say much about the game though, which is essentially a really bad version of Counter-Strike Online with some Battlefield Play4Free (or better, Pay2Win) elements.
I'll get it using my alternate account and we can arrange a deal.

Just download the Steam Achievement Unlocker. It'll save you from installing that terrible anti-hacking software, too.

Also Forza, are you sure that that thing doesn't get me banned or something? I'm kind of worried.
Not sure, since your region doesn't allow the game at all. Just make sure that none of your Steam games are running whenever you use the program and you should be fine.
If you don't want a trace of the game on your account, then unlock the achievement using the program. Log into TF2 to claim the knife. Then exit TF2 to use the program again to remove the achievement. You'll keep the knife but won't have any record of playing the game. This way, it makes it seem like you traded for the knife. Well, damn. While this method does work, other people will still show that you unlocked the achievement. :V
-
This does show a trace that you did get the achievement in the Steam Community blotter, though. This wouldn't be a problem if there weren't at least 3 other achievements that came before that, but thanks to those, it is a bit obvious that there is something fishy going on.
Now, whether Valve will bother enforcing this kind of rule is another question entirely, but going by the Cheater's Lament incident and all the fake idle servers, I'd remain wary.
EDIT: Speaking of traces, removing the game content through Steam still leaves the nProtect GameGuard service in all its rootkit-esque damnation. In your Steam directory, go to /steamapps/common, delete the ava directory, then under Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services search for an nProtect entity; double-click it, stop the service if it isn't already, and set Startup Type to Disabled.
Afterwards search your hard drive for *.des files. Go to GameMon.des's directory (under /Windows/SysWOW64 on 64-bit Win7, unsure of other OSes); delete that, nppt9x.vxd, and npptNT2.sys.
To finalise things, go to regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\ and delete the entire npggsvc branch. It'll take effect on reboot.

Alternatively, the people of TF2 could refrain from going batshit insane over a knife reskin that is functionally identical to the vanilla knife.
Besides potentially causing more lag because
- More models to hog memory at the same time
- More polygons in the reskin

Um...what the hell? We know it's a reskin, we like the way it looks, we'd like to get it. TF2 has plenty of functionally identical items. I'd still like this knife. I prefer the vanilla knife anyway, and this one would give me a fun new look on it.

Reskins are fine. Intentionally installing rootkits or possibly getting your Steam account banned* for a reskin is not.
IMO, of course.
* I don't know any case of people getting banned for using the Steam Achievement Manager once (unless they are dumbasses), but it can get you VAC banned.
-
I haven't heard of anyone getting banned for using the SAM. It doesn't directly affect gameplay and since it's a F2P game anyway, I doubt anyone will care enough to VAC ban you.
-
VAC bans are automated, and the ban is delayed if it detects you cheating so you won't have a good idea of what exactly you were using that triggered the ban.
-
As if to add insult to injury, the Black Rose is not giftable at all. I couldn't give mine to Yukarin, and that sucks. It looks like people in countries that aren't whitelisted for the game will have to use the Achievement Manager if they want the knife.
Ah well. Worth a shot, though.
As for me, I destroyed mine. Since I used SAM in the first place, it didn't feel right keeping it. If I get VAC banned as a result, so be it.
-
Hopefully the Rose gifting situation is just a bug in the item or something, and that it patches within the coming weeks.
Otherwise we may have to resort to more drastic measures....

As much as possible, I don't want to use SMA for this.
-
Well, I think that after 1-3 weeks the promotional period will end, meaning the item becomes giftable (as with many of the genuine promo items).
Also updated that post about removing the rootkit AVA installs (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,11686.msg792177.html#msg792177) (EDIT: now with registry editing and more file removal).
-
I wouldn't be all panicked over getting the rose. It's entirely likely that it will be craftable after a time. What weapon hasn't yet been craftable via some method? I'd say save up a refined (for trading) and check what's updated whenever tf2 runs an update (or save a spy token, melee token, and one scrap). Only alternative right now would be if someone used giftwrap to send you the rose (but I think you need not be so rash, in time it will not cost so much).
-
AVA... Played it a few months ago. Definitely one of the better "tactical-themed" MMOFPS games, but got boring fast. I don't want to reinstall it just for the new knife, though.
Btw, my first ever random hat drop. Medic's Mountain Cap. No thanks, anyone want?

Eh, preferred CS Online myself. And yeah, reinstalling it for a reskin is probably not worth it.

I'd go for it but I'd prefer trading it off properly (current price for that is 1.66 ref). However I lack that at the time.
-
I am requiring assistance with this issue I'm having.
On some classes, I won't hear certain sound effects. This is really bad on spy, since voices, deadringer, or his revolver won't make any noises at all. I don't know how to fix this issue.

how am I better with the Direct Hit than the Black Box
-
how am I better with the Direct Hit than the Black Box
Maybe because of the +80% rocket speed.
Maybe because it hits upwards of 80 damage per rocket, and over 100 in mid-range.
Maybe you run into a lot of heavies.
-
You get a lot of lucky kills for the most part. The real strength of any of the non-Direct Hit launchers is the ability to use splash to hit around corners, juggle people, hit groups, etc. which is a lot more useful once you get the hang of it.
-
how am I better with the Direct Hit than the Black Box
You have 4 rockets.
-
Direct Hit is meant for taking out bigger, slower targets (because the spalsh really is the power of most rocket launchers). The LL and BB (the two rocket launchers carrying 3 rockets) are meant for killing smaller targets (the liberty launcher more-so then the black box), only having issues with heavies in most scenarios since base rocket damage (so for any that aren't cow mangler, or direct hit) is 90, which kills any class that isn't soldier or heavy in 2 (well placed) hits (unless overheal/health buff are applied). So quit whining about the 3 rockets, you're a soldier not a sissy (unless you want to be, whatever floats your boat)!
P.S. My last sentence is a joke. The number of soldiers I see complaining about the 3 rocket thing is kind of high. :derp:
-
My Soldier career is almost entirely fueled by the Black Box, as it was my first Strange. I've gotten used to the 3 rockets, so it doesn't bother me much. That is, unless I rocket jump and try to kill people during my flight..
During my games, I see many Soldiers sporting the Direct Hit. The increased speed and power is nothing to scoff at.
In other news, I've finally gotten around to putting some time in on Demoman. MAN, I didn't know what I was missing. That surly bastard is lots of fun to play as. Especially with the Caber. >:D After two game sessions, my S Grenade Launcher logged in 300+ kills.

gdi
oh well, I'm saving up for s.shotgun and s.degreaser for my pyro stuff. shame that it's only 2 scrap.

2 ref for a S. Dead Ringer, huh? I'd do that if anyone's got one lying around...

Wow. They're running out of weapons to make into Stranges. I already have the knife (well, its SF counterpart) and I'm not terribly interested in the Overdose or Loch n' Load, unless I'm aiming for completing the Strange collection. I've been trying to break out of the "Gotta Strange 'em All" mentality seeing that I have 50+ of the little buggers.
Yeah, Yukarin. It's unfortunate that some of the prices really suck. It seems that they hinge on availability, usefulness, and overall demand for that item. When the S Dead Ringer came out, some people were paying 4+ keys for one, due to it being new and the fact that Spy stuff is incredibly popular. Now, 2 Ref is a lot more down-to-Earth. The other Medic saws are much better, so not many people would be interested in the default bonesaw, aside from collectors..
I wonder if Crate 40 will be one of those rare ones like 30 is. Then again, I can't think of many high-demand items that haven't been Stranged yet. Enforcer and Huntsman for sure... but not much else. It's still too early for them to want to Strange the new weapons from the Christmas update.
-
Hmmm I'd be all over that loch n load had I not realized the awesomeness of grenade spam :V Kinda weird that the knife got put back in again wonder why they did that.

It's funny that the SMG is down to like 1.33 because everyone remembered that it's a shitty weapon :V
-
The same thing happens every time strange weapons come out. People start out wanting way too much for them (new, shiny) and the price quickly plummets in the following weeks.
The only real exceptions are items from the #30 crates, and to a lesser extent the strange pipe/sticky/rocket launchers...I suspect those are mainly due to them being so damned easy to rack up kills with.
-

But yeah, if it's just 1 ref for axtinguisher I'll go for it.

I also forgot to put in that post about the new crate, since TF2 got an update today, they fixed something on Dustbowl. Area 1 Blu Spawn had a fence fix. Engie's can no longer build whatever right at the locked fence during setup. Not like that really matters anyway. :V

I never could find that sweet spot prior to the match starting, so no big deal here. I just use that time to goof around, unless I'm a Medic.

True true. Don't forget the Strange Festives. They're quite hard to come by now, and even then, they're quite expensive. Do Crate 30's still drop, albeit very rarely?

Yeah, 30's still drop. I've never found one though.
And that spot to build was where you could build level with the outside land. (so, mostly floating sentries go!!!)

And the demand will be super high for all of them /jk
:getdown:
I don't believe that they have Stranged the Postal Pummeler yet.
They haven't and I don't think they will, or they might as well make Strange versions of most every reskin and promotional weapon. Obvious exception to that would be the Sam & Max set :V
Any weps I want Stranges for but don't exist yet? Enforcer, maybe, but it'll probably be nerfed before that happens, which may get me back to using the Big Kill instead.

Might be cracking open a couple crates next weekend for the hell of it. Suggestions on which ones I should open? I've got...

Personally, I wouldn't open anything less than series 19, as Stranges began with 19. Those teen crates that you have will mainly give you crap you likely own, but there's a good chance that you'll get a Paint Can. It's really up to you, depending on which weapons/items that you're hoping to shoot for. You can always trade off unwanted stuff for metal and/or keys.
The items that I was personally shooting for back then were:
#29- Axtinguisher
#31- Degreaser
#32- ?bersaw
#34- Scottish Resistance
#38- Dead Ringer, SMG, and Quick Fix
Now watch. You're going to uncrate a rare and much-sought-after Unusual hat. :V

I officially hate Gravel Pit (Gravel Shit IMO)
Especially when half the players disconnect BECAUSE gravel pit is coming, resulting in 6v5. I usually am on the smaller team.
-
Only thing that kinda interested me this update was the new scout shirt, which
one of my friends jumped for almost immediately (http://steamcommunity.com/id/Alpha-Gamma/screenshot/506891210638574993/?tab=public) (they like Aya alot, if you couldn't tell). As for the whole "I want, X strange weapon" debate, I'm still waiting for my widowmaker :3 (which would probably be in one of the rare crates).
For new scout miscs, flip a coin to see if I'm going to trade for it. If it lands on the thin edge, I'm not interested in it.
-

Keep on doubting it. That's just going to increase your chances. Luck is weird like that. :V

Gravel Pit is alright. It only sucks when you're the lone attacker/defender of one of the points because the rest of the team is inept.
-
But it was fun to watch them build up a level 3 sentry and then have it explode the moment the match started!
I built and upgraded there, then grabbed the turret and took off for the other gate. Quick set-up right alongside that full-ammo pick-up? Yes please! Drop lvl 3 Sentry there, start building the dispenser, be ready to go from the side. Only thing is... attacking team, Engy building... in front of the base? :V herpderp.
RE: uncrating
I have never gotten a key to uncrate anything with ever
except maybe once if I've forgotten, in which case I'm pretty sure it was one of the low-teen boxes because I've only gotten like the one strange Flamethrower, and that was via a trade... I probably got a Razorback or something from the crate if I opened one
-
Gravel Pit is actually pretty awesome because it can be difficult to defend until time runs out because of all the entry points into each section. It keeps things from getting stale for too long.
Of course, in the case of pubs, it's either a steamroll or losing at B.
btw does anybody have a Strange Revolver they're looking to get rid of?
-
I like Gravel Pit, myself, for offering many options of attack, but usually pubs fail hard at this map. Same for Steel except more camp-friendly.
-
I personally like gravelpit, partially due to it being so scout-friendly, but mostly because if you manage to get two well-balanced teams, the matches get extremely fun. If you however get a team that, for example, decides to defend A instead of B, I can understand the frustration in that.
-
Gravelpit isn't a bad map, but I typically dislike it. It can get some decently long matches going, but if you're on the losing side of a short match... it just tends to feel so crappy (does on any map but losing this one stands out). As for defending A over B it can be done but you're team needs to be alot more steeled then when chosing A over B (and by that I mean making sure snipers, sollys, demos, spys, and ubers don't take out engi placements vital to keeping the point).
-
Has anyone else been having issues with crashing to desktop a lot lately? I'm starting to think that it might not just be my luck screwing me over here. :V
As for Gravelpit, I think it's actually a fairly fun map so long as the teams are decently balanced. Then again, that pretty much goes for every map, but I still like the whole two-front battlefield setup. Gives me plenty of ambush and escape routes to utilize, especially when on defense. I've single-handedly broken pushes like that by flanking from behind and delivering some axe goodness. Those narrow rooms are a blessing when it comes to those situations.
-
Has anyone else been having issues with crashing to desktop a lot lately? I'm starting to think that it might not just be my luck screwing me over here. :V
Most definitely yes. It happens to me very often and it is quite maddening. My crashes always seem to be at crucial moments or when I'm doing exceptionally well.
Not to sound rude, but I'm kinda glad that it is happening to others. I don't feel so unlucky now.
-
Count me in with the crashing, but I don't get it terribly often.
-
It used to be crashing a lot before, now not as frequently actually.
I'm still pissed at replays always never working when I have a huge killstreak though.

+1 for Crashing, I would say it happens fairly randomly.

Reason I've stopped playing for so long
-
TF2 practically never crashes while I'm playing1, but sometimes I notice that a large number of players on a server will time out simultaneously (likely crashes). When that happens I might crash in a few hours. It happens maybe once every week or two.
1: For some bizarre reason TF2 always crashes when I quit after a long session (3+ hours), but this always happens after I'm already at the desktop...if Windows didn't tell me that hl2.exe crashed I would never know.
-
Most definitely yes. It happens to me very often and it is quite maddening. My crashes always seem to be at crucial moments or when I'm doing exceptionally well.
Same here. Though for the last few days, I've been experiencing near crashes, where the game will freeze up exactly like a crash, then some moments later, be just fine.

Hey guys, how valuable is a S. SMG? Since it's pretty useful with the Sidney Sleeper, I've been thinking about getting my hands on one :V
-
Strange SMG's are going for about 2 Reclaimed, last time I checked. Not a bad price nowadays.
Dear Valve,
Please smite all of the retards that decided to inflate the asking price for the Strange Festive Scattergun to 16 keys.
Ah well. Looks like the dumbass Scout isn't getting his Festive gun after all. :V
-

wtf 16 keys holy shit that only goes for 5 keys at most
wtf wtf
-
Unfortunately, it has been 15+ for a couple weeks now. You'll occasionally see one for less, or even at its original asking price (7-8 keys), but that will get snatched up almost instantly. I think one guy flooded the trade page with the same trade asking for that insane price, and now everyone seems to accept it as the norm. Then again, it is March, and those weapons are getting rather scarce.. 'tis a shame.
-
then my s.f. sticky launcher should go for the same fucking price then if it's like that.
god that's too much inflation
-
You might get 3~7 keys for the SF Sticky, depending on the aptitude (read: gullibility :V) of your customer. For some reason, Scout stuff is always much more expensive..

WELP (http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/468611959294658265/FE65A8E3D0567C8FA99B0AA01C803EA8A000E9AE/) I got some name tags from TF2WH (and some metal and a strange piss rifle)
I am fully aware that my Degreaser is named after one of Mokou's spellcards but the flare gun and axtinguisher are named after Utsuho's stuff.
And the "green stranges" are an unintended side effect of the custom HUD (http://www.rawksteady.com/knhud/) I use.
-
Still looking for 2 L'etranger's, never got a drop of them...at all :(
And I don't want to spend the rest of the money I have in my account in them, neither do I want to waste metal for them (need them to make metal for hats to "buy" them with :V). Anyone got any spare of them?
-
The other day, someone on a server asked for crates. So I traded him.
I ended up giving him 16 crates.
He gave me a Strange Brass Beast and a Strange Revolver.
I was all "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT" and tried to talk him out of it but he was all "nah I got spares it's cool" and I was all "BUT WHAAAAAT"
-
Oh man a strange revolver I'd love one. I MIGHT give my Strange Amby for it.
-
Waaaaaahh, someone sold a crate #30 in tf2wh for dem 500 credits. Slow internet didn't let me reserve it before someone else :(
-
Hey guys, how valuable is a S. SMG? Since it's pretty useful with the Sidney Sleeper, I've been thinking about getting my hands on one :V
You can take mine for 1 rec. I don't find myself scoring many kills with it (as I usually spend most of my time blasting heads with my Reisen rifle (I paid so much for it, but I just love it).
I also sold my s. gunslinger recently since I don't combat engie very often. Got meself a Sanae-themed rocket launcher to match my Reimu one and a gen. conch to go with it (I'm going to name it the Portable Moriya Shrine), and I'm saving the rest of the metal (and possibly my s. minigun) for whenever they release the tomislav and/or a rainy day.
Also, I hate people who are all like "spreadsheet prices hurr hurr." The spreadsheet is a good site for getting a sense of the prices, but they are not in the least absolute. It irritates me that people don't seem to understand that, continuing to try to sell their stuff at inflated prices.
-
While everyone's on the topic of Stranges, I have a S. Overdose now if anyone's looking. And in other Strange news, I finally brought my axe up to 1000 kills the other night. Not bad, considering the timeframe that I did it in. :toot:
-
I'll take that. What are you looking for it? I have a Strange Knife and metal.
-
Naturally, Forza gets first dibs, but if you guys don't strike a deal, I'd like to offer my spare Strange Reserve Shooter. I think Exuro uses that, yes?
I also have other crap on my first four pages that are up for sale/debate/perusal.
-
I'll take that. What are you looking for it? I have a Strange Knife and metal.
Metal is always good. Something around 2 Reclaimed perhaps?
@Strafe: I do use the RS, but I have the only three Stranges that I'll ever use already.
-
Understood. I guess you don't want to lose all of those items that you spent countless Name tags and Description tags on. I totally agree.
But this is Exuro, the rage-tastic Pyro. As long as the Axe is well-fed, it is happy. :V
-
Welp, opened the last #27 crate I had. I had before hand, a S. Sniper Rifle and a S. Bushwacka. I hoped for a S. Jarate to complete the set, but instead I got another S. Sniper Rifle. Anyone want it? Cause I don't need two. :derp:
-
I'd be willing to take it. What do you want in exchange? (feel free to look at my backpack for anything - I also have 1 rec 1 scrap in my alt account I can use).
-
Actually, might just go for some metal. I need to find someone sometime that has a S. Jarate that they're selling and I have to buy it somehow. (though I also need to smelt all my duplicates :derp:) I must complete his loadout and have them all be stranges. :V

I have spares now that I have a strange. Message me sometime.
-
I've seen people that have wanted 1-2 Reclaimed for a Strange Jarate. I can help you obtain one or track down a potential seller.
-
Sounds good Exuro. Hit me up whenever you can.
Strafe, I'll take that S. Reserve Shooter.
In other news, all that stalking TF2WH paid off and I finally have a Maul.
-
Strafe, I'll take that S. Reserve Shooter.
Sure. I'm ready anytime you are.

Well I definitely feel like scout training with Alpha has payed off. Think my scatter jumped ~100 kills in 3 hours playing on a dustbowl/badwater server.

Scout training? I am interested.

I don't understand... This makes me feel stuff I've never felt in TF2... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETTk5wR5bUI&feature=youtu.be&hd=1)
It's a masterpiece.
-
How'd he shoot himself if he was facing towards it... I didn't think it was possible to stare your sentry in the face and do that ( some elements did make it rather intriguing, wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but it is... interesting).
-
I've had some bizarre aiming issues with the Wrangler if you aim at the sentry itself. I imagine, that he first aimed at the wall, and then at the back of the sentry to keep it turned around.
-
I don't like the Wrangler because I feel that the sentry does really well on its own. Also, it gets annoying when you accidentally switch to it and then force it to be inactive for 3 seconds.
Besides, if the target is too far away, you might as well use your pistol to pick off some of their health while staying with the sentry to fix it. The Sentry isn't too effective to kill people from such a far distance, especially since the missiles take quite a while
Also, this'll teach you not to put a sentry in open areas that could easily be picked off by snipers soldiers at far distances :V
-
You're missing the point of the wrangler. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_pJqlG5Y94&feature=youtu.be&t=6m48s)
-
A wrangled sentry is situational (much like almost any different item), and it tends to require situations where it is out in the open. I wouldn't argue whether it's better then taking a pistol as an engi, largely due to the fact that I simply think that both tend to shine in their own areas (but most often normal sentries tend to be easier to manage).
EDIT: To people still after the black rose; it is now able to be gift-wrapped. So if some kind soul wants to give ya one (or you find someone to buy it off of), now you can do so (also new sniper utility backpack added, along with a phlog nerf).
-
Updated the Phlogistinator:
* Fixed a bug where Mmmph-crit flames could cause Mmmph to build fast enough to allow it to be infinitely chained
* Direct damage reduced by 10%. Afterburn damage is unchanged
* Defense buff time during taunt lowered from 12 seconds to 10 seconds
Thank Valve, overdue.
-
Yes, that is a good start.

I like very much of this.
Also I got a Virtual Reality Headset in a drop.

I really didn't see a point in nerfing the Phlog [Except for crit to refill Mmmph instantly], but I hope that it won't hurt it too much.

Now if they only update it to run on low quality settings, because Plhogs lag me down so hard.

I don't think it did. The 10% damage nerf doesn't make a big difference, 2 seconds removed from the buff is noticeable but not a deal breaker.
It's still like it was before the nerf - amazing versus stupid people, like those that stand near the pyro while he's taunting or soldiers that take that time to spam their rockets while the pyro is taunting instead of reloading and waiting for it to end. Situational or bad otherwise (god I hate it when my team has no pyros to airblast ubers).

I personally do better using the Degreaser. Only problem I see in Phlog Pyro is him being ubered :c

So far I haven't experience as much lag with it now compared to it being first coming out.
-
(god I hate it when my team has no pyros to airblast ubers).
Amen to that. Suprisingly few pyros seem to know that you even can airblast ubers away even with other flamthrowers.
Also in the beta the enforcer has been modified to have normal decloak, 20% slower fire rate, and the inability to see enemy hp if not disguised. Not sure how well that'll work for some of you enforcer haters, but hopefully it's better then the worthless decloak time nerf.
-
As for the Beta Enforcer, that's an improvement. Hope it gets fixed soon, but until then, time to resume overpowered Spying :V
-

As an Enforcer user, I agree with these nerfs. The decloak was stupid especially since DR players are the ones that normally use it. In fact, it made no difference to normal cloaks as well.
But I'm just a little curious. Is the enforcer a little more inaccurate than other guns. Because it certainly does feel like it a little
-
Phlog and Enforcer both had it coming. Not that it will stop people from using the Phlog, but the Beta changes to the Enforcer might actually even things out a bit.
And I'm usually the one doing the uber juggling, as anyone who has played with me can attest to. :V

You need the fonts for it or you need to be in Japanese locale for it. Otherwise your comp can't read text that it doesn't have.

You should be able to find name tags for that much on tf2tp and the like.

I haven't noticed anything, though my computer is to blame for that. Bad specs all around and the phlog demolishes this thing. I have one of my own, but I seldom use it because I don't know what's going on when I use it, for the most part.
how do I get these aformentioned fonts?
You can just change the locale on your computer so it recognizes Japanese. (assuming Win7: Control Panel, Clock Language and Region, Region and Language, Administrative tab, Change System Locale) You'll have to reboot. The fonts are already built in with most OS's, you just have to tell it that you're using them, because by default, Japanese will read other characters since that's what their equivalences are in English or some other language. Hence, why EoSD for vsync is weird because 東方紅魔郷 = ?????g????

Cue my Steam install breaking on a TF2 update

http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Strange_part
*poof*
-
they added crate 40... which has only weapons... including my widowmaker... All weapons though means that... :colonveeplusalpha: (it also adds holiday punch and huntsman to those interested in such items, but also includes man treads, and electro sapper for it's crap items). Wait didn't we predict mantreads and huntsman in the next salvaged crate?
Oh right and the strange mods come in crates 41, and 42, of which I don't think are added in game yet.
-
Oh great, even more statistics to keep track of. Stranges are fun things, but...this is getting towards the point of absurdity.
-
Hm... The Strange Parts don't really interest me that much. I mean, I was excited about them until I saw what stats they would track. I'm just fine with my kill counter, really. I might slap a few on my weapons if I'm feeling fancy, but I imagine that I'd just sell them.
Regarding the new crates: They're really running out of options now. I guess I'd just collect the new stranges for the sake of collecting them. Well, I'd use the Huntsman, the Sapper, and possibly the Widowmaker if I could ever get into the hang of it. How would one equip a Strange Sapper anyway? Is there a new Loadout option on the Spy now? (EDIT: Yes there is. Engineer also has a fourth option also for his Construction PDA. I can't even imagine what stats that would track if that ever went Strange..)
Also, I have another spare Strange Knife if anybody is interested.
Oh, and I've been taking a liking to Scout now. Nearly 500 kills on my SF Scattergun already, and the Holy Mackerel is funny as hell :3

Want me a Strange Widowmaker but if it's in Crate 40...
-
The only Strange Part I'd want is for Projectiles deflected on my s.Degreaser. The others I'm not that interested in.
But Crate 40. I desire a s.Widowmaker and s.Sapper. :ohdear:
-
I don't mind the new counter for stranges, but these ones aren't the kind of thing people would keep track of [except for maybe Airborne kills?]
-
Had one of the new crates drop and unboxed a Buildings Shattered part. Might swap it for a Projectiles Reflected one or trade for keys. Maybe it's just because they're new, but most of them seem to be going for a couple of keys on TF2TP.
-
I am a bit interested in the headshot counter. But I guess I will wait a while before getting one.
-
strange machina + headshot counter = maximum egotrip
-
Wow, it took me 2 whole weeks to choose the most obvious name for the S. Medi gun. It seems I forgot the names I plan to give to my weapons every time I get the name tag to name them. :V
-
Hey guys. Have you seen the new weapon slot for spies which has the Sapper?
Do any of you have an idea what Valve have in mind for the sapper?
-

Possibly that sliding sapper from the Meet the Spy video? :3
-
I'm kind of wondering what they would do for the new PDA slot for the engie.
-
There's also one for the Engineer?
I'm hoping it's not just reskins of them, I hope they have something to change their gameplay styles.
-

They added a Strange Sapper to the series 40 crates.
-
Ok my post was originally pretty stupid, and long (sorry). My the point was that they really need some other items for those slots (of which some already have been popping up in the steam workshop). -.-'
-
Anybody have a spare s.degreaser in there?
Willing to pay 1 ref for it.
-
Got my hands on a paint Color No. 216-190-216, a white-purple, it seems. Does anyone know how much is it worth for? The results of my search showed it costs from 2scraps to 1 reclaimed, but I am not so sure about it.
-
Around 2 scrap, yeah. It's one of the less-desired colors tbh, so you might have trouble finding a buyer.
-
I guess I'll take it off of your hands. I'm looking for paint anyway
-
You'd be surprised how some of the more obscure colors like 216 actually look good on certain items. But most people just stick to standard paints like white, black, and Team Spirit.
Try it on many items before you make your final decision.
-
Thanks for the info, guys.
I used it to paint my Gibus and turned out it is more fashionable than I thought :V
And kyo, There is quite a lot of this paint available on tf2wh, although the steam is messing up with the trades.
-
So I've traded a bit lately and gotten myself some Stranges, some of which I am willing to trade:
- Quick-Fix (w/ Kyo Tanaka)
- Razorback (w/ KlLLAH573)
- ScoRes
- Atomizer
- Overdose (w/ Strafe)
Feel free to ask for one.
-
I'll go for the Overdose, man. What's your price?
I have my spare Stranges on page 2 of my backpack. Newest arrivals are the Knife and Direct Hit. I'm still reserving the Scattergun for Gpop unless I hear otherwise.
-
I'll exchange that for the DH. Send me a trade request when I'm online, unless my status says 'Online on Mobile Device' as IIRC Steam Mobile does not support trades.
-
I've opened a Strange Part - Buildings Destroyed. Let me know if anyone is interested, I'd want 1-2 keys or some amount of metal.
-
Traders, how much are you selling the Quick-Fix for?
-
I kind of regret trading away my strange knife. I only did it because I already had a named regular one, but I'm highly tempted to get one and stick a "Heavies Killed" part on it.
-
I'm tempted to buy that Part off of you, Yuyukos.. but I want to try my luck with this next set of drops first. I'd like to slap a "Buildings Destroyed" Part on some of my main explosive weapons, a "Headshot Kills" on my Ambassador, and a "Heavies Killed" on my SF Scattergun. I'm sure other ideas will come about in time.
Too bad there isn't a "Spies Killed" Part yet... That would definitely go on my Holy Mackerel. >:D
Forza, I have another Strange Knife for sale if you wanted to slap a Part on it. Two Reclaimed and it's yours.
-
Traders, how much are you selling the Quick-Fix for?
1 rec and some extra weapons will be plenty.
-
I have some hats to trade (for metal)
- Honcho's Headgear (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Honcho%27s_Headgear)
- Stahlhelm (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Stahlhelm)
- Swagman's Swatter (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Swagman%27s_Swatter)
and then I have an extra Parasite and Gibus.
-
Strafe: Sounds good, although I'll need another name tag at some point. I actually have a Buildings Destroyed part if you wanted to trade for it.
-
Once they make a Medics Killed part, that's going on my Axetinguisher. Unfortunate Medics are the main thing I feed it after all, maybe followed by Heavies, Soldiers, and Demos. :V
-
Concerning the meetups so far:
fuck u guys, stop being better than me ur all hakers i hate u and reprot u to valve
A little something else:
In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have sold my strange machina a few weeks ago because HOT DAMN have prices gone up.
-
Some of the Series 30 stranges are all going for ~$50 USD now. Machina included. :V
Speaking of stranges, though, I need a S. Degreaser if anyone has a spare, along with name and description tags. I also have a S. Zatoichi and Mann's Mint up for grabs if anyone's looking.
-
I might liberate that paint can off of you. What would you like for it?
Also, I'm glad that I got my S Machina when I did. It is a really fun rifle. Now if only these fools weren't demanding 20-30 keys for the Crate 40 stuff..
-
Does a Refined sound good to you? And yeah, you really are lucky that you got your Machina right beforehand... probably worth somewhere in the 35 key range now, like I was saying. Oh, profiteers. :V
-
Sounds fair. I'll track you down sometime soon. Same for Forza and/or Gpop.
Oh, and I nabbed a spare Strange Diamondback for you saboteur Spies. ~2 Reclaimed should suffice. Let me know if you're interested.
-
Decided to play a bit on the RUGC East server. Fuck. (http://steamcommunity.com/id/gamecubic/screenshot/540671188326741166?tab=public)
-
May want to run Furmark and Video Memory Stress Test for extended durations (several hours at least), to check if that is the case.
-
So who was the one who had the strange Scattergun?
I can give keys instead of metal for you if you want. Sounds good?
-
That was me. Yep, that will be fine.
-
Anyone have a spare axetinguisher I could trade for? I got some reclaimed and refined.
-
Managed to acquire 10 more Refined from TF2WH before Steam Trade decided to stop working for no reason.
Total of 24 Refined in my backpack and enough credits to buy at least 6 more from TF2WH. Looking for a Strange Kritzkrieg.
-
I went to try to craft a hat, and I got the Stagger hat for Sniper.
-
For some reason i keep getting Stranges which i will never need. I currently have a Strange Direct-Hit, Half Zatoichi, Family Business and Fists. Most people (including me) prefer the default Rocket launcher, i would only use the Zatoichi in medieval and i barely play that, no one uses the Family Business and i prefer my globes over the Fists. Anyone interested in something from this random mess of weapons?

I'd be interested in that HZ.
-
I'll go for the Family Business, if you don't mind. Gotta make sure I have enough metal and stuff first.
-
That was me. Yep, that will be fine.
How much is the Scattergun you going for? One key and some metal or something?
-
How much is the Scattergun you going for? One key and some metal or something?
Strange Scattergun will fetch between 4 and 5 Refined, or about two keys. However, I'll make good on my half-price offer from a couple weeks back. 1 key and it's all yours. ;)
-
What's a good price for a named stock weapon? Now that I have my Strange Knife, I want to give my "Another Murder" to a good home, for a good price.
-
What's a good price for a named stock weapon? Now that I have my Strange Knife, I want to give my "Another Murder" to a good home, for a good price.
Generally speaking, the same price as whatever that weapon's normal trading value is.
Name tags may be worth a refined, but most people don't give a shit about whatever name you put on that weapon and are only going to remove it. Unless you somehow manage to find someone looking for a knife named "Another Murder" it has no value beyond the weapon itself.
-
Iam looking for a Strange YER, anyone with a spare for me?
Edit: Nvm, I got one from one of my friends.
Looking for a dirty Familiar Fez and name tags.
-
I found my first random hat today :o
-
So I was bored, and decided to record and commentate on a video of me capturing the intel 3 times in Doublecross, showing how ridiculously easy it is as the Scout :V (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrusD93U8nQ)
-
Bought a Reflected Projectiles strange part from someone on reddit and put it on my degreaser. Let the games begin.
-
Speaking of Doublecross. Me and my friends have started doing this fantastic Engineer Push where we all nest in their sweres until we have around 3 lv3 sentries. Then we just slowly push out towards their flagroom and we have managed to set up a proper base there once. It's hillarious when you see "How did they set up a base in our flag room?" in chat.
Though most people on that Doublecross server has now started to guard their sewer, still a blast to do though.
-
Orange(map) + low-grav = +300 kills on my amba. Was pretty fun just giving the countless snipers no end of hell :p
For double-cross, I tend to be the (one) engi trying to get set up before all you silly scouts come in (usually due to a stupid team who doesn't understand what defense is). Most times I can kill enemy rushing scouts and thank em kindly for the donated metal. Even if it does cost my sentry it at least stops my team from losing in less then 3 minutes... normally. :derp: Also, when will you silly scouts learn to not walk in straight lines? Scouts, pyros and snipers are the 3 top feeders of my Amba. :V
-

Usually several players go engi and help upgrade a sentry to level 3 before the scouts make it to the intel room. You don't lose the sentry or the intel since they all die so quick.
-
Read: "team of idiots" and "doesn't know what defense is." This is most likely just the servers I've played it on (I've mostly been doing lotus servers recently, due to the simplicity of finding maps or games to jump into) since I've only played double-cross on one or two servers (thus the general crowd might just be kinda... eh). Always is nice to get teammates who try to help you out, but most people I see on Double-cross try being loners and just rush into the enemy base. Oh and the strange parts prices are a little less insane now (still 1 key, but that's better then the 2 keys or more they all used to cost)! Still waiting though, don't really think I need one badly enough to get a key just to track anything available just yet...
-
Two nights of 100 axe kills. Had the most epic Pyro intel run of my entire time playing, as well... literally filled the kill feed with axes. Three Heavies, a Medic, and three Demoknights axed, then a couple of odd Degreaser kill. Granted, I had Medic assistance for a few of them, but still amazing. Reached the intel room with 1hp left, which I had since the covered bridge. Worthy of Guile's theme, even. :V
On an unrelated note, I have a S. Pain Train and S. Diamondback up for grabs if anyone needs them. I'm looking for tags, as well, so lemme know if you have any up for bid.
-
I was bored (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pXTDqDpDmw)
-
**Pyro reflecting sentry missiles at Engineer**
Great. Now I hate the Pyro even more now. Thanks a lot :V
Still, that's some pretty awesome footage there. I've done the "Spy hat" on Engies before. Pisses 'em off. Also, nice stair stab.
Edit- Shady, track me down on Steam sometime soon. I got a certain item drop that you might be interested in.. :3

w+m2 op valve nerf pl0x (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfYKHyMvAIQ)
So, now Pyros will be sucking up all of the ammo boxes from now on.. That sucks for Engineers needing to build something in a pinch..
Those weapons are indeed interesting. However, I think that the dramatic use of ammo will turn most Pyros off.
-
Never really liked the Pyro. It doesn't have character.
But I want to grab a Degreaser sometime and try that sweet Axtinguisher combo. It was very effective against me while I was playing as Soldier.
Airblasts sure do turn me off this class.
Oh, and this new axe for Pyro? Looks amazing.
Right now I just appreciate zooming around as Scout with the usual Milk/Fan/Shortstop, though I often feel underhyped and can't be arsed to change weapons so frequently, so I often choose to go with the default weapons. No stranges, no counters, pure and simple.
Soldier with the Cow Mangler, the Buff Banner and the Equalizer is another favourite of mine. Even though I mostly waste my minicrits, I like being able to buff the team.
Then there is Heavy with Sascha, Sandvich and Fists of Steel. It makes snoipers rage. Plus I just love to dive in the thick of battle and pummel my enemies to death like a grizzly bear.
Shame about the Sandvich getting nerfed even more, though. :\ Can't throw it on the floor anymore for an instant +150HP heal.
-
For those "new" pyro items (they arn't being added if you didn't notice, it was an April fools joke), click on the second link in the description (under weapons from this video). That brings up a page with screenshots of the "Creamator's Touch." Click on the first one. The original name of the flamethrower and the two Japanese characters in the upper right corner should look extremely familiar. This flamethrower was based on a certain hell raven that many of you know of very well. ☢☢☢

Gotta curse myself for wanting those miscs from the workshop. Had to sold my bills to buy the Bostom Bringer and the The Outback Intellectual and to get my hands on a taunt and some hats. Now I am totally poor and still want more items :V

It's easy if you're playing against an oblivious team. Most of the routes shown are common knowledge, especially the sewers. I've tried them before, they're usually being used by quite a few people, so you can't just run past them.
Also, STOP RUNNING IN A STRAIGHT LINE.

It's funny, because 80% of games I play, this actually happens (minus running in straight lines), because they don't expect a scout to be there so quickly :V Usually by the second capture they actually start defending with engies, which is where it USUALLY gets interesting :V
-
I wonder how good Sharpened Volcano Fragment + Postal Pummeler is in medieval mode?
Answer, not so good. As in one single "good" kill. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKBoVJO_Syg)

You play against bad people :]
Also, FAN and/or the Atomizer makes for a quicker trip to/from the intel. You can jump from the top of the bridge to the sniper nest and vice-versa, as well as getting out of the base through the back exit (taking you right back to the nest to jump to either bridge).
The FAN also works great for ctf_well, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAIcCFeSius (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAIcCFeSius). Being able to jump between levels and on top of the box cars using a force jump is great for running the intel.
-
Try it with a scout using the "Sun on a Stick" instead of the pummeler/axesting pyro. If you have a good heckler scout then they can just dance on the heads of lit people, and beat them down. You'll only have an issue when another pyro comes in to attack or if you're not working together very well.

It really is worth it. Adds a whole different playstyle to the Pyro once you get used to it, and you only get better with practice. Personally, I've adapted my strategy to be based around slipping behind enemy lines and wreaking havoc in the backlines. Once you get the weapon switch down, you're perfectly capable of finishing off crowds of any class slower than you before they even have time to react, particularly Soldiers and the like who might otherwise be able to finish you if they spot you in their range. If you're able to get the drop on them, even Heavies are fair game for the axe... hell, if they're incompetent enough, you can even wipe out a Heavy-Medic pair in one go all by yourself. On that note, getting a competent Medic on your side has the potential of allowing you to wipe out an entire team just as effectively as a Heavy or Soldier, as well, but that's something else entirely.
...And I think I may have contributed to Strafe's hatred of Pyros. :V He has a bad habit of turning corners and finding me on the other side.
-
I always thought Pyros were made for ambush than w+m1. But that's how I generally play. I HATE going head-on into a huge battle, because it generally feels pointless and leads to my death.
I love to stealth to sneak behind enemy lines, not only as a spy, but with any class. That's why Pyro and Spy are my favourites, because they are built on sneak and ambush (spy for sneak, pyro for ambush). Scout as well since it's easy to move around with him to get behind enemy lines and finish them off with the scattergun since that thing is deadly up close when snuck behind. Followed by demoman, but it's harder because of his slow speed, but when I get behind OH MAN sticky bombs EVERYWHERE
So yeah...I'm generally a "sneak and ambush" type player :V
-
I play pyro like how Exuro plays pyro, wreaking havoc in the sidelines with the axe. I'm still 40+ hours in pyro though so I'm not as good as him, I'm afraid.
-
...And I think I may have contributed to Strafe's hatred of Pyros. :V He has a bad habit of turning corners and finding me on the other side.
Honest to God, I am a Pyro magnet. I attract Pyros as often as (if not more than) you attract Creepers. :V And it's not even the issue of "ambushing Pyros"... I just seem to have horrible luck timing. They seem to run a little faster than I expect them to..
Thank God for Mad Milk. :V
-
Ah, Pyros. As a Demo player, I hate them because I can't hit them with stickies or grenades, but I can kill them easy with the Caber (resulting in both our deaths).
Scouts, though, are the most annoying things ever. :derp:
-

Not even that much here but I play in this manner as well. Makes Pyro much more fun and destructive to play as than W+M1 or Spychecking Homewrecker Pyro.
Mini-Sentries, though, are the most annoying things ever. :derp:
FTFY. FaN Scouts are close though.
-
Although I have 93 hours of gameplay with the pyro class, I suck playing it, be with the degreaser + axtinguisher or trying to be sneaky with the so hated backburner, but due to more of 50% of the playtime coming from dodgeball maps I am at least pretty decent when reflecting some rockets :V
-
FTFY. FaN Scouts are close though.
Call me crazy, but I don't find mini-sentries as annoying as other players say they are. I think they're easy to spot and easy to destroy with stickies because they don't move. Plus, as a Demo, I'm always on the lookout for sentries. Maybe I haven't faced any pro Gunslinger engies yet.
:P
-
As a spy I don't find them annoying, as they're easy to sap, even if I kill the engie first.
-
Ah, Pyros. As a Demo player, I hate them because I can't hit them with stickies or grenades, but I can kill them easy with the Caber (resulting in both our deaths).
I can pipe pyros all day long. It'll still result in both of your deaths if they take more than one grenade to kill.
I find that pyros are the second least threatening class in the game (medics are #1). Going around the corner into a Phlog pyro with the crit-boost active is the only real danger (without the crit-boost they are only a danger if your computer sucks and the particle effect for the weapon makes you lag...they can't reflect projectiles back into your face). Any other time they are easily killed or neutralized (thanks, friendly pyros!).
I guess things are a bit different if your team is filled with a bunch of mutes and players that don't bother to look around (who are also likely to get fucked up by spies).
-
Yeah, well, but Pyros are still a potential #1 threat to our otherwise nigh-unstoppable rampage when me and my friend pick the ever-so-cheesy Heavy+Medic combo. :\ Being airblasted is no fun.
But seriously, that other day... over 80 kills and only 3 deaths as a Heavy. What the hell... Guess that was one of the reasons why the Sandvich got nerfed some more.
He is such a great stress-relief class. Whenever I am being defeated by "skill" classes like the Snoipah, the Scout or the Pyro, I can usually switch classes and spray some lead. Or, if I have a Medic assisting me, just walk up to someone like a Sir and slap them across the face with Heavy's Fists Which Are Made of Steel. He and Sasha MAKE GOOD TEAM!
Snoipers are hard to master, especially when I have random lag spikes... So far the only up-side of using the Machina has been its looks. Inability to no-scope really hurts, too.
I tried to play as the War Engineer (Widowmaker + Mini-Sentries). It's not tremendously effective. But I still think that being able to assault your enemies from two sides has some potential. That, and the mobility resulting from the ability to remain on the move while clawing your way through the enemy lines, where you can hopefully set up a teleporter exit and have another Engineer secure the nest for a great vantage point.
Then there is the Aggressive Spy (Kunai + Dead Ringer + Enforcer). Perfect item synergy, but kinda hard to play. It requires immense quickness of the mind. And of course you quickly fall prey to a dumb spy-checking Pyro, for whom spraying flames on their comrades is a no-brainer. I'm afraid that Dead Ringer + the Saharan Spy set is just easier, simpler and more effective.
And let's not get started on the Ambassador. Theoretically it's an excellent weapon, but in reality, I seem to suck at aiming for the head...
-
Yeah, well, but Pyros are still a potential #1 threat to our otherwise nigh-unstoppable rampage when me and my friend pick the ever-so-cheesy Heavy+Medic combo.
Snipers, spies. If a pyro manages to get the drop on you and manages to be a "threat", a spy could've killed at least one of you (and probably finished off the medic if he stabbed you first).
Plus soldiers, demos, other heavy + medic pairs.
But seriously, that other day... over 80 kills and only 3 deaths as a Heavy. What the hell...
Sounds like a Valve server, or a server with equally terrible players. I don't care how good someone is, against competent players you're not going to get away with only dying three times over the course of a map (at least one that runs long enough for you to get >80 kills), nevermind kritzkriegs and random crits.
-
I should upload a video of me playing against Valve server players as a spy. The other day you should see how well I did. So many kills, only 3-4 deaths in a round. It was ridiculous.
-
Good communication? In TF2? Only if you're playing in an actual competitive server, which usually doesn't seem to be the case for most of the people here. I'd try to get into that more if I had time, but you know. Work and whatnot. :V
But oh man Valve servers. I recall going 25:1 as Pyro back before I found my regular rotation of servers that I frequent now. That's actually how I practiced my axe-wielding skills, though I actually played Soldier more back in those days than anything else. I actually used to be decent at it, but I've been out-of-practice so my skills have slipped noticeably.
-
Good communication? In TF2? Only if you're playing in an actual competitive server, which usually doesn't seem to be the case for most of the people here.
I frequently play on a 32-player server (hence it is a clusterfuck compared to 12v12 servers), and the regulars do bother to communicate with each other. Most will own a mic, and those that don't at least understand how to play the fucking game. During my normal playing hours the server is usually at least half full of regulars (reserved slots stop working when 16 of them are in-use). And they actually check for spies and stuff.
-
Snipers, spies. If a pyro manages to get the drop on you and manages to be a "threat", a spy could've killed at least one of you (and probably finished off the medic if he stabbed you first).
No and no to Snoipahs and Spies. I use the Fists of Steel to make the former rage about not being able to kill me with a fully-charged headshot. I am also paranoid and spray everything and everyone with lead just so that there are no Spies. It really works for the most part. Not many here have the Fez, so I can usually hear them decloak before they have a chance to strike.
Plus soldiers, demos, other heavy + medic pairs.
For whatever reason, it virtually never works out for them. I guess we know how to take cover, especially as Medics, check our six, stay clear from the sticky bombs and minigun gunfire when needed, plus I usually destroy any stickies if I see them.

Valve servers are probably located somewhere in North America. I live in Poland. Surely I do not play on competitive servers, I guess this game is just not serious enough to ever become competitive. I was probably playing against some youngsters.
And for whatever reason, we rarely play on servers with random crits enabled. They seem to be disabled on most servers, which I don't get. Getting a lucky crit is fun, even if it means that I die more often.
I don't care if I'm the best in the world or not, what matters to me is whether I am able to play well against people currently on the server with me. xD
It just feels good, man. Being able to single-handedly win every single round on a Payload map. But it's so cheap and so easy, we hardly use that combo anymore. My friend practices his Snoiper skills while I prefer to play as classes with a decent freedom of movement, e.g. Scouts, Soldiers.
On communication: meh. I like to have a chat with my friends, couldn't care less about other teammates. We do talk a lot, though. And it seems to me that guys who communicate a lot do pretty well in the game. Though it's not a rule of thumb or anything, there have been many skilled mutes I encountered during my adventure in TF2.
-
Yeah, Valve servers are most likely here in North America. Those servers actually have the lowest ping out of all the servers from where I am, from about 20ms to 50ms. They still aren't great though, and I don't go to them anymore.
-
Honest to God, I am a Pyro magnet. I attract Pyros as often as (if not more than) you attract Creepers. :V And it's not even the issue of "ambushing Pyros"... I just seem to have horrible luck timing. They seem to run a little faster than I expect them to..
Thank God for Mad Milk. :V
Well, if you're backpedaling, you actually move slightly slower. Might cause problems if you're trying to shoot at them and run away while playing a 100% walk speed class.
-
To be honest, I credit my bad luck to my less-than-savory ping rate. (I really need to get a better internet service) While I can still enjoy the game at 80-200 ping, it does make some bullshit scenarios from my perspective. Pyros manage to cook me when I'm several yards away, and facestabbing Spies are all too common. My ping and crappy computer just make enemy ranges quite deceptive.
Now me attracting crockets is a different story altogether :V

Something funny happened to me today when playing the turbine map. After a enemy Soldier used a buff banner 2 spies of the enemy team who were under the effect of the banner kept the glowing effect on while invisible even after their deaths, since I was playing as a support pyro to the engies I could see the goddam spies everywhere even though they were in the route I would do the spy-cheking. So sometimes just not to be called a hacker I would let some of them do their thing on the poor buildings :V

I don't mind being called a hacker and will tell them I can still see the buff banner effect on them while cloaked. If they choose to keep playing spy it's their fault for getting killed all the time.

Lol, I prefer the nice guy approach in awkward situations like this one.
Oh, facestabs. I got facestabbed once by a spy standing below me on stairs.
That was so BS, I felt violated.
I think I managed to get some facestabs off as well, though. Why do they keep happening? I don't know, they just keep happening.

I only usually get "facestabs" if they're spinning around in circles and I take a stab at them, PRETTY SURE I hit them in the face at that moment but the game registered it as the back, so I would say because of lag :V

Most people don't understand backstab mechanics at all, and cry facestab when you stabbed them fair and square.
For instance, you don't need to be facing your target's back or standing right behind them. You need to be facing the same general direction as them (as dictated by their torso hitbox, pay attention to the shoulders), and within the angle that your knife would register a hit on a stationary target. Load up a map with a stationary bot and fool around with the angles that you'll see the spy start to raise his knife, and you'll start to see what I mean.
That's part of why people bitch about face stabs when they get killed by a so-called "matador stab", which is basically a corner stab without a corner. You bait them into moving where you want them to, then strafe (release "W") and snap your mouse towards them and stab. Usually they are not only turning towards where you were previously moving, but by strafing towards your previous direction the torso hitbox rotates even further in that direction and exposes their back to your knife. Voila, backstab!
Also, you can totally stab people above you depending on the angle. If they are jumping/falling from a height to chase you it is much easier to stab them mid-air. You also don't need much of an incline to overhead stab someone...that incline on the right path out of BLU's spawn on badwater is more than enough, as is the area with the cart tracks at the beginning of goldrush stage 3.

@Yuyuko's: Ouch.
Had my first experience with an honest to god hacker who I could be absolutely sure was hacking. Guy was just twitching all over the goddamn place and it was sadly obvious that without those hacks he was goddamn awful. xD Was also sad how obvious he was. Was like he was flaunting it.
Also if anyone wants a crapload of crates I'll sell all the ones in my backpack (Page 6) for 1 rec (Just want to be rid of the dang things, so I do mean the entire load of them together). :/
-
I'll take the crate bundle. If there's anything you like in Page 6 of my backpack we could work out a deal for that, otherwise 1 Rec works for me.

I saw someone hacking with a Heavy, once. Able to move and adjust his aim while doing the POW! Taunt (because it's an insta-kill taunt at a decent enough range) and could jump around while shooting his minigun with 0% bullet spread and full movespeed while spun up. Only lasted about four minutes or so before everyone - even the people on his team - spammed the shit out of the !admin command to summon the mods.
-
Ah I had a hacker in my last match, but the guy kept changing his name so we couldn't vote-kick/ban as he kept changing to a name of one of the people in the server, until finally we managed to put it in quickly and vote before he could name change again and vote him off.
Man it was a pain x.x
-

When they do that I contact an admin with their Steam ID. They either ban them remotely or join and ban the player after insulting them.
-
I've run into a few hackers here and there. The latest one was a heavy with nonstop crits and aimbot. The funny thing, though, is that even with his bullshit, we still managed to take a couple of mini-rounds off their team (goldrush) until the final area where they just set up right outside of the spawn entrance. It took about 10 minutes to kick him and the medic who was pocketing him out of the server, and many people filed abuse reports, myself included.
-
So I bought a friends Bill's Hat and #110 Gentlemann's Medal, and flipped the Bill's into a Strange Widowmaker.
Now we're cookin'.

I don't know why. It worked before and now it isn't.

I dunno lol.
About cheating: I think I've only seen two cheaters in my entire career, and I'm not even completely sure if they were actually cheating or just lagging HARD. They were both soldiers, running around very fast at full health, as if they had the Equalizer equipped and had 1 HP, but I'm all but sure they didn't. I think they got bored quickly and/or were just testing some stuff, or got banned fast, because they were gone before I knew it.
Also look at Barrakketh's current signature for my general stance on cheating in video games.

That'd be fine Exuro, just send me a trade request when ya can. I also realized another reason as to why my demo loadout is good for killing pyros, and that reason would be that the 30% total fire damage reduction makes me need to care alot less about running right through fire to deliver explody death. Plus the using the loch helped me win a tf2ware (ridiculous gametype) round of land 7 grenades in a moving hoop. Bloody love what was initially just a joke loadout for me xD

So, I just got scammed for a Giftwrap and a Refined. Happy fuckin' birthday to me! :V

Loch shield demo isn't really a joke build. I've seen many people be so good at that loadout.
What's worse is I can't kill them with pyro because I can't seem to reflect that loch projectile and when I try to axe them, they usually hit me with a direct shot and I fuking die immediately.

I don't really see the need for these to be put in the game. Any player with a decent perspective of the game can notice the allied player pointing out where the sentry is or when an enemy is approaching when using the proper command voice. They woud just make the game more visually polluted, imo (since I, myself, use the commands quite a lot just to hear the characters' voice).

As for the Engineer icons, they're pretty cool. I don't mind if they were added to the game, but they're clearly not necessary. It will just attract more instances of POOTIS.

Several players have already tried this idea, actually, but as for making a full-out clan? I doubt it.

All of a sudden I'm thinking about putting the Model Changer plugin on our server to do just that, but considering my current plans on what to do with the Touhou Fortress models it may cause identification issues.
It will just attract more instances of POOTIS.
Just a reminder that this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jC8JIjW2cw) is how one removes POOTIS.

Demoman is your best bet for kritz, due to the insane damage output of your stickylauncher, easily hitting 300 damage per sticky.
Widowmaker is good for kritz, but I don't have one/didn't have one at the time.
-
Wouldn't a Quick Fix be a good replacement for the regular Medi-gun if you have a devoted Kritz medic? As long as the Kritzkrieg is still trained on the same target, you can still overheal, and the Quick-Fix will allow you to take objectives and whatnot without being locked out because of Medi-gun Invulnerability. Still leaves you open to Sniper headshots and Spy backstabs, but then again, the Kritz medic is already in that boat to begin with.
-
I'd say that a Quick Fix / Kritzkrieg setup would work only if the QF can maintain the Kritz's overheal. Much like how you can overheal someone at a Dispenser, and the Dispenser keeps them at 150% life as long as they don't leave its range. I do this to Engineers all the time. Not sure if this would work with the two mediguns working together, but that's my thought on it.
Personally, I liked the default Medigun / Kritz setup that we did earlier. Sure, there are less invulnerable moments, but they're worth it when they do happen.
Afterthought Edit: Y'know, I don't think that the QF will keep an overheal after all. Well, I'm sure that it could maintain the overheal until damage is done to the patient. :derp:
-
QF + Kritz can work but I think it's not that good of a combination. Both mediguns are suited for secondary Medics IMO, ideal for adding extra support to a normal Ubered pair's offence/defence.
However, QF with normal ?ber can be useful. Using both on the same target isn't a good idea unlike with Kritz - instead, heal someone else who will be supporting the charge, preferably one who's flanking the enemies as well.
-
The default medigun is a lot better when it comes to pocketing, or even team healing a lot of the time. The ubercharge with Quick Fix is meant for group healing when there are a large amount of people requiring a large amount of healing before they die. Using it for pushing almost always ends in tragedy.
-
I've always just ended up staying with the standard Medigun. Most uncoordinated players will just rush in under the effects of Kritz and promptly get cut down by a sentry or forget all about me and let me get killed. I've used the Quick-Fix even less, but that's just because I always keep the whole team overhealed as much as possible while I'm either building uber or pushing.
-
I've noticed something since today's patch...
I was training my pyro rocket jumps on Walkway so I did a huge negative hurtme in console. When my HP was above my class limit, it was rolling down much, MUCH faster than this morning.
This might be a problem for Saxton Hale servers...
-
This might be a problem for Saxton Hale servers...
This patch is a major issue for Hale, indeed. Most VSH and FF2 servers are down for now as a result.
The few that are still up report problems such as:
- Rage not working at all (BIG one)
- Crit-boosted weapons lack crits, including all melee weapons. Taunt Crits seems to fail too, but Ubers are fine
- Jarate works on Hale in the vanilla fashion (what is this, the Oct 2010 version?)
- Medics don't get 30-35% Uber after an Ubercharge (might be the server I was on though)
- Damage indicators don't always appear (more often they don't)
-
I kinda like the Quick Fix, however it is completely outclassed by the other two mediguns. I'll use whatever I think is needed for the situation at hand. That goes for all classes, really..
-
The update actually broke SourceMod (and possibly MetaMod:Source) hard.
Even the ESEA Invite (pro North-American league, for those who don't follow comp) matches tonight can't be played because their server plugins are broken.
SourceTV is broken. And that's not even a plugin. It exists since the Half-Life 1 engine (GoldSource) era as HLTV.
Everything besides vanilla (and DM) seems to be dead until a SourceMod fix.
-
Yeah, the pony server I usually hang out on lost most of its plugins, save for text sfx and music. Hopefully there'll be a fix soon.
-

I enjoy the Quick Fix, as well, because there really isn't anything quite like making a super-mobile Scout also durable by letting him tether his pocket Medic around.
But what I meant was specifically in the context of having a Kritz Medic and you on another teammate at the same time. Since you can't double over-heal, and the Kritzkrieg can overheal while the Quick Fix cannot, wouldn't it be smarter to use the Quick Fix's faster healing rate to top off the teammate if the overheal should wear off? The Uber isn't nearly as useful as a regular Medigun, of course, and the Quick Fix's null-bullet shove Uber would really only be situationally useful (say, storming an Engineer nest while the Kritz uber is going... splash explosion crits to kill the Engy while being able to steadily aim against the Sentry Turret) whereas a vanilla Uber is useful in any kind of panic 'oh shit we're being jumped by six people all of a sudden' manner.
-
I think that if you're going to forgo the Ubercharge in a twin Pocket Medic setup, then 2 Kritzkriegs would be a wiser investment. Having a Quick Fix in there is nice, but the Kritz will be the only gun in charge of overheal. The QF Medic would probably be focused on keeping the Kritz Medic alive, as he will likely be the biggest target... until a Sniper, Spy, crocket or crit sticky ruins the party. :V
Now, the Quick Fix Ubercharge should be able to keep your target alive if they're battling a sentry head-on, but they had better destroy that thing within those 8 seconds. Other than that, Quick Fix just isn't a practical gun to use while pocketing. Well, you have a good point on being towed in by a Scout.. that is until they start jumping over walls and such.
I use Quick Fix whenever I play Battle Medic, just to help keep the team alive in between firefights. (and to shut them up quicker) Personally, I dislike pocketing. I'd rather try to keep everyone in the fight. Unfortunately, people seem to get more reckless if there's a Medic on duty. :derp:
Do whatever works for you, as long as the team wins the map. :V
-
I like the QF, but I usually play medic only when the team really needs an uber to make a push, so I rarely get the chances to use it.
-
I like the kritzkreig myself out of the choice of the 3 mediguns, but the standard suits my (very) reckless medic playstyle so much more on account of me being able to just pop uber, and then run like hell if it looks like a scuffle is running down hill (AKA; when Mr.Missles pops in and tries blowing my parade up like a firework (which it kinda is if I had an uber prepped)).
Dispensers, Payload carts and the Quick-Fix no longer maintain overheal
Updated the Spy-cicle to extinguish fire when drawn and giving direct fire immunity for two seconds, but no longer giving afterburn immunity
Well apparently the quick-fix could maintain overheal, yet now it cannot. That spycicle debuff is gonna make many pyro players throw their arms up in joy at least (like maybe Exuro).
EDIT: Scratch that, update today apparently made the QF maintain overheal again and made spies fireproof once more. GDI Valve... (in regards to the spycicle)
-
New update
- Fixed a server crash caused by the Loch-n-Load
- Fixed the Spy-cicle's fireproof attribute not working
- Fixed the Quick-Fix's 'immunity to movement-impairing effects' attribute not being honored by the Pyro's airblast
- Fixed the Quick-Fix not maintaining overhealed health
- Fixed health drain happening faster for players with health above the normal overheal amount for their class
- Fixed unusual particle effects not displaying correctly for the Pyro's Head Warmer
- Updated the Black Rose so it can be traded
- Updated the Ghastly Gibus
- Added LODs for all classes
- Fixed the position on the Sniper
- Updated the vote system
- Vote caller history is now tracked by SteamID to prevent vote cooldown exploits
- Fixed players being able to disconnect before a successful kickvote to avoid being banned
So now we can't airblast Quick-Fix medics. Discuss.

So hitting a teleporter grants an uber charge fill. That seems pretty legit. :\
Also, (this could go on the other thread but whatev) Strafe and I were having some trouble connecting to the MotK server today. He had TF2 freeze up when he tried, and I had that too, along with Steam completely crashing in the process. Happened quite a few times. (on Mac, so map downloads didn't work too, as expected) Don't know what was happening there. Took me like 10 or 15 minutes to actually get back on.
-
Finally got my Hero's Tail (Outpost reaaally sped things up, thank god). Now I just need another rec or more so I can start trying to get the After 8 paint I'm planning on putting on it. If ya want any weapons on page 5 of my backpack, a crate on page 6 (there's only one at current times notice), or a
VintageKGB/Sandvich/fryingpan, then I'd be willing to toss pretty much any of those off for about a scrap (or a craftable weapon on the crate).
Also did anyone else notice item drops being... sparse this week? I got maybe 4 drops then I've gotten nothing after about another 5 hours of play time.
-
Sure, Freyband. I'll liberate that Frying Pan off of you.
-
i loved TFC... i would still play it if there were still people playing it =(. i tried TF2 (bought orange box), it was ok. i completely stopped right around they started added hats and new gear.
i love being engineer ^^.. gotta take care of my turret.
-
I hear that there are still people that go on TFC servers. Not much, but they're still there. I don't have that game though (yet) so I'm not certain. I was thinking of getting it just for the heck of it, and it'd probably run leagues better on this piece of junk than TF2. I believe the original TF used the Quake engine, but I'm not sure what Valve did for TFC, unless it's still Quake.
-
TFC used GoldSrc, which is based off the Quake engine.
However, the two play considerably differently. Expect a high difficulty curve to get into that from the TF2 end - lots of conc-jumping, det packs, incendiary rockets, caltrops, complex disguise/feign death systems, infection, portable medkits, etc. that TF2-based players will get immediately lost on.
Last time I played TFC there still were quite a few servers playing it, though nothing compared to CS 1.6 or even CZ.

Also did anyone else notice item drops being... sparse this week? I got maybe 4 drops then I've gotten nothing after about another 5 hours of play time.
Seems a bit low this week, yeah.
-
Quickfix and kritz has a major weakness, imo. Any setup not involving generic medigun does: huge amounts of burst damage. If the enemy team pops another kritz on soldier or a demo or a sniper gets a bead on you, neither quickfix nor kritz will save you from the instant kill. Not to mention spies.
-
theres drops in TF2?...
-
Yeah. Every week, depending on how often you play, items ranging from crates and weapons to full-out hats and other materials will be dropped to you. There is a cap on how many drops you get (crates being the exception, since those need store keys to use), but if you have extra drops from one week they'll roll over to the next one, resulting in more drops to make up for lack of play.
Feel free to play a few rounds with us to get back into shape! (also recommending the Fortress Forever (http://www.fortress-forever.com/) mod for TFC-style)

...Oh boy. This will end well.
-
Just going to elaborate more on the drop system.
Each week, (Thursday-Thursday, may be earlier depending on where you live) each player gets an 11 hour window in which they get a chance to get new items dropped after they die in game. Like EP said, it can be a new weapon, hat, or tool (or crates) within the game. It is random what you get, and sometimes you get very lucky. Your drop chances fluctuate depending on your average playtime, but the drops only occur within that time window. If you didn't use up the 11 hours within that week, any time left will be added to your next week's time. This way, you don't have to play at least 11 hours a week. The rollover will continue to accumulate if you take a break from the game. Valve makes sure that everyone that plays gets the same amount of drop time no matter how often they play the game.
Some people capitalize on this by going to "Idle Servers", where their character will continuously die over and over. Since you only get your new items after you die, the repeated deaths increase your drop chances during the time window.
Personally, I just play the game normally. Any drop, whatever and whenever it is, is appreciated. Now, if only I could obtain that elusive Crate #40... :V
-
I've actually gotten two items off a death, once, by simply not dying for a very long time. Came up for air after a messy death and suddenly two items!
I forget what they were, as it happened a while ago and I haven't played in forever, but I bet it was a Huntsman or a Razorback, or both, and maybe some Gunboats. Nothin but crap drops for a looooooooooooooong time.
-
I've had that happen before too. However one was a normal drop, and the other was an unlocked weapon from a Milestone...
-
That's happened multiple times for me on normal play.
On idling, however, it works somewhat differently. Many times people will get a boatload of items at once, despite dying very often. This is because you only really get items after getting the 'New item found!' screen, and idlers often leave their systems in TF2 for hours on end while doing other things. Result is that the New item screen can have several entries at once.
-

Gpop mentioned it earlier...he isn't online yet to verify this though. But as for this, closest I'll get is playing more VSH/FF2 or more server management.

Yeah I just got home sorry, sudden baptism mom forced me to go to :V
If you guys are still wanting to go I'm down, I want some MotK vs everyone else :V

Gonna be selling my V Lugermorph, putting it up on here to see if anyone wants it before tf2outpost. Part of my Aya set, if anyone cares about the tags.
Looking for around 7~ keys, or equivalent in metal, which is about 17 refined.
EDIT: Sold it for 7 keys.

Yeah, there are quite a few variants of the Luger, and all the uncommon ones are highly collectible. The Self-Made Lugermorph is rather prestigious, probably due to the sparkle combined with it's tradability.
Sadly, I only have an average Vintage Lugermorph.

Ah yes, that spot. Typically you get one or two demos up there, sometimes more. Nobody really wants to touch intel with over a dozen stickies on it.

*runs in with the Short Circuit, runs away with your intel while laughing*
Actually, DR spies are great for when the intel is being camped. Run in with it armed, pick it up and let the demos trigger the stickies, immediately uncloak and keep running with the intel. It's even more effective with multiple spies working together. You can basically keep the intel alive and inch it toward your base a few feet at a time that way regardless of what the other team does.

That's what you'd expect to happen, but unfortunately most CTF servers don't have that level of teamwork. That tactic only works if their team doesn't have an engie pyro combo on the intel, which is very rare on turbine. Generally the pyros will just airblast them back to the original resting spot of the intel and kill them if they make it past the sentry/destroy the sentry.
-
If your spies are working well together, then why not just knife all the demomen in one quick shot (take out any sentries in the room since 9/10 demomen I see using stickies can't do shit with their other weapons. :l

Actually, it's possible to do it with a steering wheel, but how Lei Lei does it is using a mouse + Xbox controller. The result is more or less the same, but I'd imagine the controller would be easier to use.

Well, this should be nice. Hopefully pyros will go out of their way to actually airblast people now...

Man, they had to go and add a strange Detonator after I went and bought one when they released it way back and even put a tag on it. Welp.

Welp. It really was a matter of time. As much as I liked this feature, it really made things unbalanced. Besides, Shady was the only person I noticed that capitalized on that feature when it was in play. I only remembered it when I had my Blutsauger..
Strange Part: Allies Extinguished
Huh. I'll want to pick up a couple of these. I've been taking a liking to Pyro lately, and I definitely go out of my way to extinguish allies.
As for the new Stranges, I'll be looking into them as well. Tribalman's Shiv and Detonator will entice me into changing up my playstyles a bit. I hear Detonator jumping is fun. :V
-
I hear Detonator jumping is fun. :V
Not only that, but it's handy for distance shots, too. You can't quuuuiiite jump as high as a Scout with it, but you can definitely get places people don't expect Pyros to come rushing out of.
Also, I am hype for a Strange: Allies Extinguished Degreaser, if that'll be a combo. It'd probably be the only Strange I'm interested in tracking; kill tracking just seems kind of epeen-y to me. I'm playing TF2 for mindless fun, not to shove my kill count down other peoples throat.
-
I see where you're coming from. Yeah, there are many people that inflate the kill counter on their stranges to flaunt their "epeen" around. They'll usually farm their kills on idle servers to speed that up. Honestly, I think that's ridiculous.. but that's how some people are.
Personally, I like having the kill counters on my weapons. I mainly use them as a reference to see how well I use a weapon, or how often I use it. I guess I'm a bit of a stat-whore, but I generally don't care what other people think about my numbers.
-
what are posthumous kills
is it afterlife kills or something?
-

I imagine it'll be afterburn kills, as pyro's the only real class that can do damage after he's dead.

-

Definitely offers the Pyro more mobility. I use it mostly in VSH/FF2 however where the blast force is greatly increased, allowing for a very easy quick escape from Hale.
Posthumous kills - I think these are those 'X has been finished off by Y' kills, but I'm not sure.
-

As well as pipe bombs. Huntsman arrows, too, though that's probably the rarest of 'em all.
-

Posthumous = After death. X finished off by Y doesn't track what weapon killed someone (on an off note, a finished off tracker might be an interesting strange Misc item (like the gifts given one)). Posthumous is definitely one to toss on a flamethrower.

Nobody really cares too much about insane strange kill stats, due to the majority of them being farmed. I just like keeping stranges around for the classes I play most to see how many kills I get with each of their respective weapons.
There are, of course, exceptions to not caring about others' kill stats. When you can affirm the legitimacy of the kills, and the period they've had the weapon, those 17,000 kills seem a lot more impressive.
-
I buy stranges exactly to give me motivation to play some especific class and to increase the counter of the weapons. Due to the stranges I pratically play with all classes regularly - except for heavy.
-
I love stranges because I love increasing numbers, and it helps me keep track of my overall skill on that class.
it makes me feel proud that my Knife and shotgun has 1300 and 750 legitimate kills.

Medic.
I find myself playing Heavy a lot when the team needs one, but it's still my least played class. Medic, however, is one of my favorite classes to play, provided my team is not composed entirely of incompetents.
-

> "guys we need a medic"
> team composed of engies, snipers, and spies
-
In both vanilla and FF2 I often go as Medic since few bother to do so - combat rage Medic for the former and aggressive group healer on latter.
Heavy is my least played as well since he doesn't fit my style of play (mostly suport/alternate, never a primary).
-
I can never seem to figure out Heavy's preferred playstyle. I mean, I get that he's pretty much a portable meatwall, but every time I try to do anything with him, I either never see anyone, barely deal any damage, or get immediately headshot/backstabbed and just switch back to Pyro or Demoman.
-
Because of my ambush/sneak playstyle, heavy is not my character at all, since he feels more like the "head-on" class that tried to clear everything in his way, but I like to ambush and take the route less travelled instead (partly because I hate dying :V)
-
Heavy is best on defense, forcing close range encounters with the enemy team by holding choke points. You want to stick around areas where you can easily hide behind cover to heal, and avoid very open areas and common sniper lanes at all costs. Also remember that you're free to do anything you want while revving down except switching weapons.
-
I should also probably point out that I hate being the main target, which is why I avoid medics and heavies, since they are generally the main targets for spies and snipers :V
-
> "guys we need a medic"

Too often. Just... too often.

Holding on to a charge too long will certainly result in a stab or headshot. Sadly, a lot of people tend to hang back despite you spamming for them to go.
-
I don't like playing heavy because 7/10 times I get backstabbed within 12 seconds (yes, even if I've been looking around). As for medics, I like em (as long as they're mine, if they're not... all my hate), and I can typically play them fine. I get stabbed alot less often then I somehow get abandoned in a small tunnel with a <pyro/soldier/heavy/what have you> and often end up saving my heal target's backside from getting an additional hole if I do have a pocket I'm healing. It's just kind of amazing how often people do not check their backs (unless you're a spy and really want them dead, in which case, they're Satori/Koishi(AKA; they know you're there) and you're just about to walk right into a very quick death).
-
I'm still waiting for some kind of Spy gun that doesn't deal damage, but doesn't break disguise when you fire it so you can appear to shoot while disguised. A Soldier who isn't spamming rockets across the map or a Medic who isn't healing is usually the first people spychecked.
Also, Heavies who never spin up or hop past a corner while spinning up :C

That's actually a very nice concept. It doesn't seem like something that would be added at such a late stage, though. Nonetheless, I'd love something like this.
What would it do while undisguised, though?

FINALLY, GRAND FINALS TO UGC PLATINUM TONIGHT !
4 slot STV server. Don't want to stream 3 hours of 720p video.
Fuck UGC tonight.
-
What would it do while undisguised, though?
If the spy were dumb enough to shoot a gun that doesn't deal any damage rather than resort to his knife while undisguised, it'd just stick a little flag out the barrel that says 'BANG!'
That, or it'd be a plastic light-up gun that makes pew pew sounds.
-
Will it actually shoot fake projectiles though, because if not, I'd find it completely useless since it'd still be a damn dead giveaway unless it's in the middle of a large battle (which in that case not shooting wouldn't be obvious either since there would be too much chaos to notice anyways)
-
If anything, the gun would have to make a specific sound when it fires that still makes it a give-away that you're a Spy. Something ridiculous like a squeaky toy, or even fire paintballs. :V In my opinion, there has to be another side effect to using that weapon to counter the ability to keep your disguise.

I don't think you quite understand what was said. What's being suggested is a weapon that would mock-fire the weapon that your disguise is holding, i.e. if you're disguised as a soldier, you'd fire damage-less rockets to blend in better.
-
No, I understand perfectly well what he was suggesting. Most non-Pyros that try to Spy-check are looking for people that can fire their weapon as a sign of legitimacy. Having such a revolver that will allow the Spy to keep their disguise sounds good, but it will unbalance things for the Spy, in my opinion. Having a telltale sound that the weapon would make (regardless of disguise) would help balance things better.

Possibly change the pitch slightly? It can't be too obvious, or the weapon wouldn't be effective enough to choose over any of the other primaries.
-
Slight pitch and particle changes would help, plus missile-based weapons would just pass through players on the Spy's team and not deliver any effect. Hitscan weapons are a bit trickier though.
This basically forces the Spy to fire towards his team but not hit too close to them, or the lack of on-hit effects will give him away.
-
Maybe the fact that he can't do the 'reload' animation anymore, then? A Soldier who fires eleven rockets in a row would be kind of suspicious, or a Heavy that continues firing for too long. The revolver/handgun would have to likely not have any sort of ammo at all (and only be able to make little 'Bang!' flags out of disguise or just not any any restrictions on how often he can 'fire' in disguise), or only one clip so he has to pick and choose how he's going to act, and when.
It would clearly need some tweaking, but it'd be nice at least. A smart team doesn't need a Pyro to spycheck when there's a Soldier or Demoman running around not spamming things.
Maybe explosives would just fizzle out instead of detonate?
-
Maybe the fact that he can't do the 'reload' animation anymore, then?
Depending on how the weapon would work, that might not be a problem. You can already fake the disguise's reload animation with your revolver.
-
I think you guys are vastly underestimating how much it hurts a Spy to not be able to shoot things.
-
I think you guys are vastly underestimating how much it hurts a Spy to not be able to shoot things.
I'm well aware, which is why I originally mentioned that just not doing any damage is enough of a debuff as it is. But seeing as it's removing one of the primary signs that someone is a spy from a distance, overbalancing it might be needed. You never know until you actually try the weapon, which I doubt would be easy.
-
I think the spy is perfectly fine the way he is. The only thing I would think of is the sapper slot change, but that's it, since I think it'd be nice for variety there :V
-
The spy having a gun that does no damage..? I'd rather (when undisguised) he just be holding out his top two fingers and yell "BANG" at people because it'd have the same effect and amuse the hell out of me more. Also let it do like 10 damage when undisguised just so you can laugh more when you kill someone with it (like the short circuit). I might never use it (because lolamba) but I just think it'd be grand seeing both teams comprised of only spys running at each other yelling "Bang!" "Pew!" and "pow!". :derp:

Final Combat's Rocket
This, I can honestly say, I did not expect.
So let me ask.
Why the Rocket? Specifically, what unique traits are able to be made in to a proper boss?
-
I had a Rocket skin for the Soldier sitting in my TF2 directory, so I went, 'why the hell not?'
Likely, though, his abilities will be improvised to my liking, rather than being from the actual game itself (which I'm in no way even touching).
Now why is he fighting the TF2 team? Let's say he's trying to assert that Final Combat is in some way not a TF2 clone. :colonveeplusalpha:
-
And now for some reason making a 7-person boss with just Pans everywhere seems like a good idea. >:D >:D
Why not just make a reverse saxton hale boss (one person running like hell from a team of nutters trying to beat him to death before a timer runs out). :/
Or just fix the plugin for melee mode and then force everyone to use the pan via admin hax :p
-
I don't see the fun in the former, especially for Hale. Deathrun's already a bit similar to that anyway (Hale uses contraptions to kill the enemy team, who is on the chase after him).
I can already do the latter with other plugins on server, you know. :V
Lastly, anyone know a good source for Koishi and Mokou sound clips excluding M-1 Grand Prix? This is the major impediment to their online play tests right now.

Looks like you'll have to find voice actors. I have no idea for any sound clips.

Well, using VAs seems to be an unlikely proposition.
I guess I'll have to find a few fitting voice clips from the M-1 skits and use those, with some audio editing if needed.
-
A Chen hale would be nice.
-
What is her rage, a CHEEEEEEEEEEN-loaded cuteness overload? :V
While other bosses would be nice to see, the largest obstacle to these are a lack of TF2-compliant models and a lack of modelling ability. It may be possible to import MMD, GTA:SA, etc. models over, but that doesn't address TF2's bone rigging, animations, normal maps, etc.

I propose Gpop as Koishi's voice actor.
THIS CAN NOT GO WRONG
Manry Koishi go go go :getdown:

I would like to test a Touhou Hale!
-
I'm aiming for the next public Hale testing to be either tomorrow or Sunday, which should be enough time to finish Mokou and Rocket.
Other modders' bosses I ll be adding include:
- Female Spy (with an option for a Gentlespy duo battle)
- Ass Pancakes with custom materials and hat (DX8 has materials issues :<)
- Gangplank (pirate with overlay-style rage)
- Cuddly Heavy (special TF2Ware guest!)
Koishi is pretty much complete, BTW, but I'll upload her files with the other bosses. The only issues I have with her now are overlay render issues on Intel GPUsand that sometimes she gets killed VERY easily (probably an issue with one of her abilities).
And have a screenshot of an upcoming Rage ability (http://steamcommunity.com/id/apr0396/screenshot/595843756312573392) :V

On an entirely unrelated note, I am 140 kills away from having an Epic Momiji.

I've played against Gangplank before. His rage isn't all that great, but just seeing a pirate medic running around is hilarious.

Cuddly Heavy... I can never survive that minigame. The kill on touch is generally what gets me.

I wish this version of Cuddly had that power, but he doesn't.
And the easy-kill Koishi and Ass Pancakes materials problems were solved, former due to testing environment fixes and latter via an updated model and config file. On to the next bosses!

I agree. Fantastic.
On a different note. I managed to recently snag a couple of the elusive Crate 40 stranges. A Widowmaker, which I will probably name "Knockout in Three Steps" or something.. and a Huntsman, which I named after Nue's final spellcard. I fuckin' LOVE the Widowmaker. Playing RAEG Engie is so damn fun. I'm.... not so hot with the Huntsman, yet. :V Exuro, you're safe for now.

I traded a Bill's I got a while back for one. I probably got the raw end of the deal, but I don't care. The Widowmaker is cool and I was never going to wear the Bill's anyway.

...and I was never going to wear the Bill's anyway.
:ohdear: You don't like the bills?

Glorious.
-
Well, at the time, the going price was around 9 keys for a S. Widowmaker, so it seemed fair enough at the time.
And it's not like I don't like the Bill's, but I got enough hats as it is, and a bunch of people that play on my regular server also have one.

Because we are not weeaboos in this game. We actually WANT to get better, not to just play it for enjoyment.
Once I joined in a local Pub server and carried my team with over 70 points as Pyro. My second place had 20 points.
-
Yeah, what started as another fun Kritz Widowmaker experiment suddenly turned into.... "Fuck these guys. Fuck that Spy. Fuck those Scouts. RAEG >:(" They had us pinned back at our base for quite a while, but we had a massive turnaround at the end. Honestly, it felt that Exuro, Shady and I were the only ones trying to win the match. It was funny, since we were only using voice chat amongst ourselves via Steam, instead of in the game. Good thing too, since we weren't exactly saying nice things about our teammates either.. :V
Also, I'd like to credit our turnaround to the point when Shady stopped camping their teleporter and finally destroyed the damn thing. :getdown:

Honestly camping a teleporter is generally better until you think they'll discover you soon or they do discover you, because not only will it give you free kills, but the idiots who keep taking the teleporter will keep getting killed, giving you guys time to move up as they keep getting killed in one spot :V

I wonder if the new Mann Co. Store Package can be used to upgrade someone to premium.
What do you mean? The packages, according to the wiki, are awarded after a 20 dollar purchase. It's tradable, but I don't see how it would upgrade someone. You can already do bugged trades with free-to-plays, and they don't get upgraded from that.
-
I wonder if the new Mann Co. Store Package can be used to upgrade someone to premium.
If I remember correctly, you just need to buy something at the store to get upgraded to premium. The wiki has a tutorial video that has a user buying a cheap paint can (Australium Gold for $0.99). If you don't plan on purchasing things regularly, then I'd suggest getting something that you can't really obtain via normal drops: Rocket Jumper, Sticky Jumper, or maybe a key if you want to crack open a crate..

Just buy $5 worth of junk, since that's the minimum you can transfer to your Steam Wallet. Two keys are almost enough.
(Unless you already have money in your Steam Wallet.)

buy gift wrap
I don't know how much I can overstate this but do it. It's 50 cents cheaper (which can add up in bulk) but worth at least a key (and maybe a little more more if you're willing to push it) in the market.
For $10, you can get:
- 4 keys
- 5 wrap (which you can sell to make 5 keys)
Sure, some may see it as profiteering, but not enough people have taken notice yet to really matter.
-
Gift wrap works very well for trades, I agree. Unless you want to gamble a bit and open a few crates for yourself, but even then you can trade some wrap for keys.

Not everyone has a credit card or lives in US guys. Poor people like me will probably never get premium.

I don't see how you can function without a debit card unless you're an adolescent. If you're capable of purchasing games on Steam, you can get a premium account.
And you could still probably buy a pre-paid Visa/MasterCard to get it that way.

Only scout on my team.
Other team has 2 scouts from ESEA-I (professional) teams.
On Gullywash.
I got destroyed.

So I started using the Ambassador and I must say.
I think I'm in love.
I like how it feels so much more accurate than the Enforcer (from the slower firing rate that helps), and headshots aren't as hard as I thought, that or I'm better at aiming apparently :V

Good deal, there. The med might end up being more in the long run, provided it's not in another crate, but that's veeeeerrrrryyyy long term.

Had a chance to sell my BBB for 19 refs, but due my honesty (read: stupidity), I ended up selling it for 12 refs. I still got some profit, so it's all okay :3

With their respective crates having dried up, the old Stranges are getting harder to come by. I can see a lot of them having been tossed and forgotten somewhere, so they're all essentially off the market. It happened first with Series 19 and 20, thanks to the demand for the weapons they had, so I've been expecting it.

Guess I'll throw my trade up on the board too. The following Stranges are up for grabs:
Fists, K.G.B, Syringe Gun, Scottish Resistance, Conniver's Kunai, and 2 Pistols.
If you're interested, name you're price. I'm not picky, nor am I going to demand anything outrageous, so please be fair.
They're mostly cheap stuff anyway. :V

Also got 10 scraps and 1 rec, if anyone needs 'em.

Craft those scraps to rec, and rec to ref.
I'd open the crates which have items for the classes you play most often.

;) Whatever you feel like paying for them.. (within reason)
I got a ref I can trade and some crates, apparently which is enough for both Kunai and pistol is worth 1 ref together. Any crates from my bag you want I can add in?

Already said this on Steam and TF2, but:
#1. Play the Training Mode (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Training) and its tutorial. It may only cover 4 of the classes, but it'll tell all the basics of the game at the very least.
#2. Try some offline practice against bots, starting with Easy and working your way up.
#3. For specialised practice (eg. backstabs, headshots, Direct Hit airshots), download the map tr_walkway_rc2 (http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=8909), read the readme, and play it on your own system.
#4. Join a few public games and test your skills! Feel free to send a message to me about certain things, or (if I'm in-game or anything other than 'Online on Mobile Device') send an invite for either coaching or joint training.
Seeing that you're playing mainly Soldier, I'd also recommend contacting Bigode and Exuro about this class.
-
Seeing that you're playing mainly Soldier, I'd also recommend contacting Bigode about playing this class. He plays a fairly good Solly IMO.
Also ask me and Alpha. Alpha mained soldier before scout, and my soldier roots back to the good old quake days.

Also ask me and Alpha. Alpha mained soldier before scout, and my soldier roots back to the good old quake days.
Also noting Exuro as a good contact. He's mostly a Pyro main but has very good Soldier background.
Actually, some of us should make a list of players and their specialised classes sometime. While offence and support classes are clear, defensive classes...many of us seem a bit grey there.
-
I actually used to consider Soldier my main at one point. It was the easiest class for me to naturally fall into; I actually had to play a lot of Pyro to get the point I'm at now. On that note, I'd be willing to help you if you want to learn Pyro. Gamecubic and Shady are good choices to ask for help on that subject, as well.

Well, I've got most of my spy stuff down, like feints and what not. Any good way to practice trickstabs?
-

Watch Stabby's videos on YT for some insane Spy stuff. Also tr_walkway_rc2 (see my post to Suikama earlier) is a good practice map for facestabbing. :3
And as for that list of specialisation I noted earlier, I might as well make an early version now:
- General: (any class for any situation): EP, Frey, Strafe
- Scout: Alpha, Frey, Cubic
- Soldier: Bigode, Exuro, Yukarin, Alpha, Cubic, Dibble, Shim
- Pyro (puff & sting): Cubic, EP, Yukarin, Gpop (shotgun); Exuro, Demonbman? (RS); Shady (flare guns)
- Pyro (other): none I'm aware of and W+M1 is not legitimate in my book
- Demoman: Shady, Wisp, Demonbman
- Demoknight: do we have Demoknight specialists?
- Heavy: Wisp
- Engie: Molten, Strafe, Demonbman
- Medic: EP, Exuro, Alpha, Cubic
- Sniper: KlLLAH573, Sparda (sniper rifle); none I know for Huntsman
- Spy: Gpop, Yukarin, Shim, Demonbman
Hopefully this facilitates (1) other members asking for general or specific help and (2) a possible competitive meet.
-
- Demoman: Shady, Frey
Might want to count me off that list. I'm not the greatest demo and I tend to mostly use the sticky jumper these days. You'd be better putting me down as scout or spy (lolamba+deadringer) :V
-
EP, put me up on the list as Engie!
Also, stil have a couple of stranges if anyone is interested. Have a S. Direct Hit, S. Fists and a S. Half- Zatoichi. I think Kyo said he was interested in the Zatoichi last time i posted, but i haven't gotten around to poking him yet ( because i'm confused about people changing names on steam )
-
I'm actually a great Heavy, but I just don't like playing him too much. Just when a team really needs to be carried or RAEGMODE. Also you might want to note Shady as Flare Guns in general, not just the Detonator.
As for junk to trade, I have a spare V. Ambassador up for grabs, along with a S. Pain Train and S. Diamondback. Basically anything on the last page but you know the drill. :V
-
Count me in on the shotgun pyro as well. I actually main pyro now. I just don't use him enough on meets because it's obviously hard to reflect shit at 200 ping or more, and aiming the flamethrower is a hard job with that much delay.
Yep, that's the reason why I use a battlespy (read: amby spy) on our meets. :V
-
I consider myself a Jack-of-all-trades style player, and spread the love across every class. I'll play whichever class is needed at the time. If given a preference as to which class I "specialize" in, I would say Engineer and Medic, with Sniper and Pyro as good alternates.
My philosophy is to learn by experience. Learn how to play each class effectively. Not necessarily to have that "jack of all trades" approach, but it expands your scope of the game.. You become more effective as your preferred classes if you learn how to play the classes that counter them.
You could really ask anyone here for advice on any of the classes..

Well, I've got most of my spy stuff down, like feints and what not. Any good way to practice trickstabs?
All I can say is that it takes some practice. Heck, even Valve servers are great for this since they're full of mindless players to practice on :V
Sidestabs are one of the easiest to start with imo. As the come onto you, feign one direction, and just as they start following you towards that direction, quickly sidestep to the side and stab the side RIGHT it reaches the hitbox of the back.
Corner stabs pretty much uses this technique, once you get side stabbing down this'll be easy to get down as well.
Stair stabs are a bit trickier, heck I'm still pretty terrible at this (mostly because in servers I play in they know too well about them and just intelligently back up or puff me away :V). Just as long as you know to crouch over them you'll ALWAYS jump over them
-
Don't forget matador stabs; those are quite hard to do but are extremely rewarding IMO :V
I updated the little brief list in response to your posts.
-
I am pretty solid at everything but Scout (although I've gotten better at it) but I'm probably best as either Soldier or Spy.
-
I know how to die with any class. If you want some tips, just ask.

Also, yeah put me under shotty pyro as well. I tend to switch between the two, depending on the match :V

I think we do, but I'm probably unaware of them. Should probably take a closer look at everyone's playstyles on the next meeting, rather than just the few who regularly get together for pubstomping and shenanigans.

The problem being we may have proficient demos and such, but they don't play the class that much.
-
Whoaaa, I haven't posted in weeks but I still lurk around here every day.
Hey EP, can you put me on the Demo list? And Heavy too, if we can be on more than one list. I main Demo but I've started to like Heavy, so he's pretty much my second main.
Starting to get back into this game (not that I left, just a bit inactive) so you might start seeing me at the TF2 meetups again. Not 100% sure, though, because of school stuff.
-
You can put me as a soldier. I can also play a huntsman sniper decently once I warm up a bit.
-
At the start of my TF2 career I said to myself I would main pyro. The reason why I played spy was to know how spies work, so that I can counter them effectively. That's my reason.

Today's update adds new crates with s.Rocket Launcher and s.Stickybomb Launcher. This should make their market price drop considerably.

Crate 45- Grenade Launcher, Scotsman's Skullcutter, and Persian Persuader
and of course, new Strange Parts. Before long, you'll be able to snag that "Medics Killed" Part, Exuro. :V

The Kunai's just so fun to use. Getting cornerstabs with it is just so much more rewarding, especially with oblivious pyros.

Mind teaching me how to cornerstab? D:
-
Mind teaching me how to cornerstab? D:
Play on Degroot Keep. To cornerstab, it's just a matter of stepping to one direction, and immediately strafing in the other direction. You don't want to touch "w" or "s" while in the movement.
There's also a jukestab, which is cornerstabbing without a corner. Same thing applies, but you need to make your enemy believe that you're going in the direction you went, then it's just strafing in the opposite direction and hitting M1 once you get to his side. I can't really teach you that; you need to try it out yourself to get the feel for it.

Added ya though I'm not 100% sure if your Pyro is shotty or RS.
Also added Demoknight and non-Puff & Sting Pyro as categories, along with a Huntsman section for Sniper. All are empty ATM.

I myself haven't watched these, but in addition to those videos, the TF2 wiki has a section dedicated to the roles of the 9 classes in a competitive environment, located here. (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Category:Classes_%28competitive%29) It's a good idea to learn what you should be doing before you learn how to do it.

Also might want to look into Rocketjumping/airstrafe tutorials (I've seen a few people who might want this)
Part 1; (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRnw1SV06lk)basics
Part 2; (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm-BGnaBCgE)air strafing , duck tapping, and basic wall/object jumps
Part 2.5; (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxAXe6jQyvk)Boost jumps (wall hugging/climbing, and ground boosting)
There's probably a few other tricks to look into but I hope that some of these help a few of you. Knowing how to rocket jump is mostly what actually got me to start playing soldier again.

The server ATM doesn't have Aya or Koishi, for somewhat understandable reasons (possible marginalisation of playerbase).
Moreover Koishi is so broken at her current state (that cloak especially) that an update seems necessary.

Everyone you play gets nerfed >: V
-
But but
:<
Short story:
Koishi's cloak is far too OP and her weapon's a tad too strong. Expect a nerf in the upcoming boss update.
Long story:
The cloak's current statistics lets her traverse great distances discreetly and come out unnoticed, then land a chain of surprise attacks. While this is very nice, demonstrating this via a triple backstab on Frey, Messiah, and Strafe at once on Hakurei Winter pretty much proved that it's too effective. So the silent decloak is no more, blink time increased, and damage taken during cloak boosted.
As for her weapon, I still usually kill weaker classes in one hit before bleeding applies....too much damage. To counter the cloak nerf I may add the Spy-Cicle extinguish effect, with the melting and cool down as well.
Aya suffers from similar problems with her Melee weapon.
Gaben's slowdown power will face another nerf amid today's test, and he'll drop cakes from killed players (a suggestion from FlaminSarge over at AM as well as other players).
Rocket...maybe a few tweaks to his RL to demolish the player-killing bug. Hopefully.
Mokou is almost ready, on another note.

Got my hands on a cheap projectiles reflected earlier today. Don't mind undercutting the price a bit if I know it's going to good people. I listed it at 2, would probably take 1.66 if it doesn't go. But I can sell it for 1.33 to anyone here if they want it since I know there is a fair amount of pyros.

I myself just have some buttons to toggle some viewmodel settings manually, but something like that should be reasonably easy to find. Things like that are generally in competitive configs and scripts, so that would generally be what to search for. However, if you only use the number keys to change weapons, you can just bind 1, 2, and 3 to something like "slot1; r_drawviewmodel 0" instead of just "slot1."

I sold off my bills hat for a crate 40 and after some contemplation I decided "what the hell" and popped the sucker open (with a kind donation of a key from alpha).

They added those Strange parts for it. Made people start spazzing and buying them up for whatever reason.

Probably since it's one of the more sought-after Pyro weps (tying in Exuro's reasoning with this too), plus S31 reserves shrinking.

It's hands down the best flamethrower in the game and now there's a limited supply of it.

So, Shady and I were playing a round this morning and Stabby Stabby makes an appearance. Seeing him do his Spy work in person is frighteningly awesome.
I'm just glad that he was on my team. Poor Shady didn't get that luxury. :V Instead, he got Haku.. one of Stabby's clanmates and a damn good Demoman.
Unfortunately, after a few rounds we began to lose.. Many of our other teammates decided they wanted to mimic Stabby. Five Spies on Red.. and one outperforms the other four combined.

Second this.
I find that the only real time for the QF is when your team already has at least 2 other active Medics (at least one of whom has regular Medigun). Use the QF ?ber on either a side flanking group (while enemies are distracted with a normal ?ber on another front) or on a forward Kritz Medic, whoever he's healing, and your own heal target. For all other times, stick with Medigun if you're the only Medic; Kritz is okay too if another Medigun Medic is already there.
As for the Demoknight suggestion, I find them useful if your startegy focuses on attacking enemy units, but the sticky launcher makes Demo a lot more versatile than the shields.

Many people seem to go on a Spy spree once Stabby is on or uploads a video on his YT. Sure, it helps, unless of course they're fighting Stabby himself. :V

For the rocket launcher, don't do it for at least a month. I'd say that's ample time for the prices to settle.
Beyond that, there's not much to really suggest for keys and refined. Just don't unbox, buy whatever it is you want, and be prepared to wait till you get that perfect trade.

What an honor to actually fight him. How I wish I could play with him, but that's impossible since 200 ping.

This.
The stickybomb launcher is the reason why only one Demo is allowed per team in competitive TF2. Really wish more Demomen could see how powerful and useful it is.
Now, Stabby? Like Yukari said, it would be an honour to fight against him and with him. But I'll just say that I'll love him when I fight with him, and I'll hate him when I fight against him.

Oh what is thisssssssssssssssssss. Wtf is thisssssssssssssssss.
So. I've had a little business now going for a quite a bit of time that some others know about. I buy and sell Dealer Visors for .66 and 1.00 respectively (I'm totes legit now). Basically how I make all my metal as of late and how I afforded all my hats. I received a comment from someone today remarking on how the average price for visors on tf2op had risen.
I took a look and saw he was right. Before, people mostly sold them for under and up to a ref. Now I've seen some recent trades ask for 1.22 or crafts hats or even 1.66 for them which is unprecedented (ohemgee dey going over da spreedsheet :O ). I never saw prices that high for them during my venture into visor trading. I also took a look for people buying them and was jawdropped at what I saw.
There was always 1 other dude buying them for my same price of .66, which was no big deal, but nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww there are 2 other people buying for .66 and one buying for .77
Keep in mind that was ALL TODAY, I check this at least daily.
;________; Mah business.
tl;dr I think I helped break average visor price ;-;

Reserve Shooter is too good. Why didn't I get a strange for this weapon sooner?
-100+ damage on puff and blast is uggh
-
RS is an excellent weapon for Puff & Shooting indeed. I rely more on the Shotty though since I don't have to reload as often, allowing a better chance of finishing off enemies I ignite but can't safely Axtinguish.
But, note that RS is almost always banned in competitive leagues, and thus if we have a competitive whitelist expect me to ban it too.

No matter. I personally like the Shotty too. The 6 shots make all the difference.
-
Yeah, I prefer the shotty as it's the only long-ranged weapon I can use, and the only weapon I can use against pyros.
Only time I feel the RS may be good is if it's in an open field, and puffing them away is better than to get yourself killed against a heavy or so, so as I puff them I can get some mini-critz on him :V but honestly, I'd probably be dead if I did that or just tried to axetinguish him.
-
Flare gun fo lyfe \o/. granted you're screwed if an enemy pyro has a shotgun or whatever but if it's really an issue i can always switch. otherwise, flares are a great harassment tool and have good range.
-
Puff & Flare - another legitimate and good strategy. Very much geared for a Pyro who loves to be a hindrance to groups of enemies, rather than anti-unit powerhouse (Puff & Sting w/ Shotty or RS).

So. I've had a little business now going for a quite a bit of time that some others know about. I buy and sell Dealer Visors for .66 and 1.00 respectively (I'm totes legit now). Basically how I make all my metal as of late and how I afforded all my hats. I received a comment from Alpha today remarking on how the average price for visors on tf2op had risen.
I took a look and saw he was right.

Fixed.
AND I DUN' TOLD YOU.

Admin got a big nerf, Aya got a buff (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showpost.php?p=1719354&postcount=1095) amid feedback from AlliedModders and other servers.
Wooohooo Aya buffs :3
Yeah, I prefer the shotty as it's the only long-ranged weapon I can use, and the only weapon I can use against pyros.
Only time I feel the RS may be good is if it's in an open field, and puffing them away is better than to get yourself killed against a heavy or so, so as I puff them I can get some mini-critz on him :V but honestly, I'd probably be dead if I did that or just tried to axetinguish him.
I myself prefer the shotgun as well, the reserve shooter isn't the role I'd like to have with pyro. In order to get the full damage boost, or even a damage boost at all, you need to be in airblast range, and I use the shotgun for instances where I'm well out of range.
Puff & Flare - another legitimate and good strategy. Very much geared for a Pyro who loves to be a hindrance to groups of enemies, rather than anti-unit powerhouse (Puff & Sting w/ Shotty or RS).
Not really. A friend of mine pretty much exclusively plays Puff and Flare, but they're very good at picking. Flares do a good amount of damage if they're lit, and the damage remains the same even if they're at much longer range than a shotgun. All in all, I'd say the flaregun is mainly for pyros who rely a lot on airblast, but still want picking capability.
-
the only thing with flareguns, good luck going against another pyro who has a shotty :V (and in A LOT of games I play, teams generally have 2 or 3 pyros because lolmespy)
-
I think I might be the only one who prefer using the RS on Pyro, it seems. I have a couple reasons for using it over the stock shotgun...
1. It's the best Anti-Pyro weapon available, especially when it comes to facing Phlog Pyros. Two good airshots and they're dead, and most Phlog Pyros are either too stupid to swtich to a secondary or carry the Manmelter, so they're a sitting duck.
2. One good airblast reposition and airshot can kill Scouts harassing you. Scouts that are always jumping around, especially when doing something like carrying the intel, are easy prey if caught unaware as well.
3. I tend to anticipate when an enemy will be jumping (say, making a leap for the water to extinguish fire) and put a stop to their retreat with it. The minicrits can mean the difference between life and death for them. Especially effective on enemies who you've damaged enough to force the retreat yourself, in the occasion that you keep whiffing with axe swings.
Besides, it's always just such a satisfying combination to kill people with. :3

You aren't fighting the right scouts. The point of dodging is to make them hit less by making their aim swerve, not to avoid damage completely, which a lot of scouts don't seem to comprehend. As such, it's greatly effective against reserve shooters if you're doing it properly, as you'll have taken minor damage with them quickly out of ammo.
-
I swear, if I ever found stabby, I wouldn't even bother trying to spy duel. I'd just shoot.
I would still die.

I don't think you remember how much hell I gave you the last few times we were both pyros against each other... (I was using the RS before you were even) :/

Pretty sure that's the general response and results from Stabby encounters (except most people realize too late that they've run into him). :P
-
See, the problem in my statement is that I have to find Stabby.

Erhrm, through a bit of miscommunication. I forgot alright? ;-; I've come into some cheap strange parts. 2 of the explosive jump kills. Before I sell them off for a higher price, does anyone want to buy them for 1.33 for personal use?
whoops one gone already

I finally managed to buy a strange rocket launcher for 2 ref. Today is a good day.

Welp, I'm reverting back to the normal knife. The Kunai gives me TOO little health to actually play with that I die WAY too easily.

Apologies for the double post, but I need a bit of help.
So recently, after a mishap with my steam cache for TF2, I've been getting a validating steam files pop up every time I try to start TF2. It'll go until it reaches 100%, then just sit there, doing nothing. I've been getting around it by defragmenting, then quickly starting up TF2, which somehow gets around it, but does anyone know how to permanently fix this? It's pretty annoying to have to do that every time I want to play TF2.
-
You may want to verify the integrity of the game cache manually rather than having Valve's system do so. If that doesn't work you might need to redownload the TF2 files - custom maps, addons, etc. should remain however.
-
Am I the only one getting the scores glitched in CTF? Like I don't ever see it.
Also, oh god degrootkeep spying (http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz257/Hartmarco/2012-06-02_00002.jpg) (score of 30 for me)
I also find that Turbine is a GREAT map for stairstab practice. The giant stairs is amazing. Been getting good practice. I just have to time my jumps to get behind them. But at least I getting them a bit more now :V
-

Already fixed itself by the time I read this. Thank you anyways, though.

What do you mean by this? I haven't been playing TF2 recently, might go on and see if it happens for me.

No score in the bottom for me at all, and I use the default layout.
I think one time I see it barely cut out in the top left corner.

So I nabbed a cheap Cremator's Conscience. Would anyone want it for 2.66 for personal use?

Would anyone happen to have a spare Manmelter or (normal) Holiday Punch to sell to me? Those are the only two I'm missing before I have a complete set of weapons (not counting reskins).
EDIT: And, well, a Sticky Jumper and Rocket Jumper, but it'll take a little while longer before I can afford either of those :V

I inspired so much raeg last night as Pyro in a server I rotate playing. There's this tryhard Pyro who always seems to be around that server, and I kept on killing/dominating him. By the end of things, the guy kept screaming about STOOOOORRRMMCROOOOWWWW and threatening to rape my soul. I kinda like Stormcrow though, so I ended up dropping the n off of Stormcrown to go along with it. It's a shame I didn't think to get some screenshots, but Shady was there to witness it. :V

I have a Holiday Punch available - a scrap will do in exchange?

How do you kill a fucking good demoman that's always pocketed by a Kritz medic?
HOW
because we just got spawncamped by one.

Saharan Spy

Frankly, I despise spawn camping on either side. My solution is to either mow them down with Heavy, or use Dead Ringer to get past them and then come back to stab. Worst case scenario, wait it out and use Ubercharge.
Actually, I had a similar situation earlier, where I used Pyro to toss them aside, ran away, and then ambushed them while they were focused on the rest of the team. Axtinguisher, of course :V

Have someone play scout or avoid servers where the soldiers can't rocket jump.
Saharan Spy
Only bad players fall for people dead ringering out of spawn. Only a brain-dead person would fall for a item set that screams "I'll decloack right behind you, completely undisguised ~<3". :|
-
Even if the spy doesn't get the backstab, it should distract the Demo long enough for everyone else to come out.
-
That would only work assuming the demo is spawncamping by himself, which is a very unlikely situation. (If that does happen, your team is probably on life support)
In such cases even spamming jarate out of the spawn doors would work.
-
Bigode you are one of those people who I see a medic healing and either sigh in frustration or smile because you're one of those soldier who just wrecks into shit. Good playing.
-
I'll be honest us MotK people are one of the better group of players I play with that I'd never rage on how bad anyone could be :V
I just want to see if we could actually get all of us in one team against randoms and see how well we do. No randoms on our team, just us against everyone else.
-
Oh, I'm pretty sure I'd be Odd Man Out. Autobalance fuckin' hates me. :V
-
All of my rage is just superficial, really, despite how much of it there can be at one time.
Unless it involves the Lucksman, that is. :V
And I'm with Strafe on that one. Probably literally, considering how much autobalance likes to kick me around.
-
Aaargh, i want to play with you guys but school, timezones and sleeping schedule likes to screw me over. Hopefully I'll be able to join you guys on some games during summer. Beware, the above average Gunslinger Engineer is approaching.

So invite a bunch of pubs/keep the server open, wait for people to join, then password and team up?

Then people will be ragequitting, and the teams will be permanently imbalanced :V
-
keep it open but the other team will always be open for new players :V
If we get too many we'll let some pubs into our team

Oh boy, a flamethrower rage. This won't end well.
-
Oh boy, a flamethrower rage. This won't end well.
Actually the flamethrower was on death (meaning she gets it 4 times) alongside a crit and knockback reduction. Her rage powers up her detonator (probably to ~200 damage I'd guess) for 8 shots. What I'm wondering, does she have a melee weapon or just the detonator? Or was it that she gets a BUFFED detonator with 8 shots and otherwise has an axetinguisher/volcano shard as a melee weapon?
-
She has a melee weapon (a Maul because I felt like it), which does less than normal damage but will ignite on hit and crit burning targets.
Detonator is her normal rage, not tied to lives. It's buffed with extra damage, splash radius, and ignited target mini-crit.
-
Should've done Third Degree for the badass guitar solo :V Was going to say the volcano fragment or a festive fireaxe would fit better, but then I realized that there is no festive fireaxe :ohdear: (ohdear because now I want a festive axetinguisher or mailbox).

So is it me or is Foundry really easy to get corner stabs and matador stabs? (I can undertstand the former because the amount of walls and corners in there :V)

Foundry's incredibly huge. It's no surprise that you're getting matador stabs (in my case instant 180 stabs) because people usually are busy and shit.
I tend to not jumpstab in foundry just because the inclines are too obvious and cornerstabs are waaaaay safer to try.
-
Had an Aladdin's Private Reserve drop just now, so I turned it into a S. Shortstop and Name Tag on TF2WH. Not too bad, I'd say, although it's weird how expensive name tags have gotten.
-

Definitely could do either. Might change it in the next update, along with fixing the crit and knockback effects applying at the wrong times bug.
So is it me or is Foundry really easy to get corner stabs and matador stabs?
Nope, it's an easy map to do both.
