Was playing a bunch of FF2 earlier. Turned out that me, a pub, and Messiah were next in that order, and aside from the pub we could choose who we wanted to play as. So we chose....
I went first as Koishi. A bit sloppy play but managed to win with <1000HP left and a timely rage on Messiah (quite the brutal Koishi player, whereas I'm more with Aya).
Pubbie managed to get Aya, but probably due to inexperience the round ended in our favour easily with ~10 players to spare.
Lastly Messiah finished the Touhou Triple Entente with Mokou and we were easily turned to toast. :V
During this time the rest of the players' responses were along the lines of 'oh god not another Japanese anime girl', 'why are they so OP', 'noooooo we're all dead', 'I'm timing out this spellcard', 'why does X use Y as weapon', 'where are Reimu and Sakuya', and 'hey EP spill more details about your currently WIP bosses'. Silly playerbase. :V
Quite a fun boss smashfest nonetheless.

I still find that phlog a bit OP, but oh well. :derp:
I still couldn't grasp the mechanism of aya's/Gaben's rage. Does they get the boost speed when pressing M1?
Where is Reimu, EP?

Yeah, you have to press M1 to use the speed boost. Enemies that are in your way will just end up dying.

Allow me to code her rage first.

Hmm... A temporary Youkai Buster (that is, cow mangler) 5000, or a cheating automatic homing attack of some sort? Then again, homing attacks seem like something that tf2 probably wouldn't accommodate very well....
Will she be beating people with her Miko Stick, by any chance?
-
Homing attacks are possible to code as a separate sub-plugin, but I'm not going to do that yet.
As for Reimu killing with her gohei, it really depends on if a gohei model exists (and likely if one is there it'll have to be ported to Source format) and whether I'm willing to modify the Reimu model to hard-bind it to her hands (due to a stupid TF2 restriction on plugin-based model attachments). What I'll say now is that the kill icon won't be a gohei due to engine limitations.

I especulate (as many others) that it will be used in some kind of event. Because the drop rate of lint/banana/cheese and others were very high while I was playing.

If you folks haven't heard yet, the descriptions change on the new items if you read them while equipped with the Eliminating the Impossible set, and put together read:
"Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser."
(Sherlock Holmes quote)
I've heard references drawn between the items and Abraham Lincoln implying something Pyro-related but I don't remember them off the top of my head (there was something blatant on the capacitor iirc spelling out "ABE", the others idk).
EDIT: Just clicked Gamecubic's link. :derp:

I am realizing that I love playing offensive engineer, setting up near spawn then slowly hauling my gear up to take and hold territory. The reactions from your enemy when you manage to haul a level 3 sentry to their side of the map then put a teleporter and dispenser behind it are glorious, especially when you're on an alltalk server and can actually hear them freaking out.

Have you tried setting doing that on Doublecross? I did it once with some of my friends and the result was hillarious, with reactions along the lines of "wtf team, how could you guys ket them set up base in out flag room". It's hard to beat the feeling of trying some crazy Engineer sentry push and actually managing to pull it off.

A very, very sad time is coming for the Demomen.
Airburst stickies are one of the worst things to fight as a Pyro. Fact.
Grenade Launcher interval is lower than airblast interval too.
And then good soldiers are going to have a shotgun anyway. Only class that really needs to worry is spies.

I find that more luck-based if anything.
On a Pyromania-unrelated note, apparently Darthmule (Sakuya's coder) plans to release his Suika boss on 16 July (bottom of post). (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showpost.php?p=1710759&postcount=867) Considering that the Sakuya boss was fun (but basic) by FF2 standards and inadequate by Touhou ones (what time stop?), I guess it's all the more reason to get my own version out by then, eh? :V
-
Reflect arrow back to kill the sniper, best feel ever.
"You got more headshots as Pyro that round than your previous best: 7"
Possibly the highlight of my Pyro career. :V

Eh, Huntsmans are predictable. The ones that you can't bait into free reflects are shotgun/axe food anyway.
-
Airburst stickies are one of the worst things to fight as a Pyro. Fact.

Eh, I'm referring to the more sneaky W+M1 Pyros that have the element of suprise on their side.
As a Demoman like myself, there's nothing more humiliating than being killed by a W+M1 Pyro and being able to do almost nothing about it. Stickies don't activate fast enough, and my grenade clip is usually empty by the time a Pyro starts burning me to death. I try to switch to Caber and melee kill them (resulting in both our deaths) but they usually kill me before I can land a hit.
I can definitely put up a fight against airblasting Pyros, though.
...I go on too much public servers.

Got Reimu's rage coded yesterday and it seems to work well! o/
Might be able to have it ready for beta-testing by Friday.

Also have
- Strange Shortstop
- Strange Tribalman's Shiv
- Strange Overdose

I'll definitely go for the Shortstop - somewhere around 0.66-0.88 ref seems appropriate.
-
Hmm how much for strange Southern Hospitality?

Some new weapons (http://www.teamfortress.com/pyromania/cityonfire/)
That Rocket launcher seems somewhat fun to use.
-
SMG and sniper rifle goddamn.
The new sniper is gonna replace the sniper rifle now, calling it.
-
...Oh lord, they've given the CoD players a reason to SMG Sniper the hell out of everything.
-
Ho damn. Immunity to falling damage on Scout is pretty nice, but I guess doublejumps already serve the same purpose. That new sniper rifle is pretty keen too.
Pyro's new flaregun is amazing. Ranged knockback combined with an AOE ignite? Very yes.
-

FaN Flaregun :V
Rocket launcher in all honesty seems useless in most cases except for taking down sentries (shoot all three at once before engie could repair, in fact it could kill him even :V). But other than that, it's a rocket launcher with one less rocket that can charge up.
Kinda reminds me of the rocket launcher from Unreal Tournament :V
-
inb4 the actual area of effect of the new flare gun is smaller than the Direct Hit's splash damage
Calling demoman buffs too. He's not broken enough.
-
Yeah itd be nice if that flare gun still crits burning targets and the splash area is semi decent. Maybe the knockback will be good i dunno it'd probably be good for making getaways but that 50% damage reduction is a pretty big deal. And that scout pistol seems pretty cool, too bad im a terrible scout and i always get caught on fire.
-
In all honesty, Sniper got the best end of the deal, I mean look at them.
-
New scout pistol is going to be fun.
Scattergun is ultimately disappointing, though. It's a weapon designed for getaways and ctf, not for the scouts role of quickly closing in on and picking off enemies.
-
And even then, it's terrible because it completely resets boost on jump
I think they should've kept it at double jump instead.
-
I think they should've kept it at double jump instead.
Agreed. Thankfully the pistol looks sexy. :L (<--- that there is me drooling).
As for the rest... meh. Hope I can flare jump with the scorch shot, but if not it might still be fun sending a scout into atmo with it.
-
New weapons = new attributes I can apply to weapons with FF2 bosses.
In particular the boost effect that could come in handy for one boss....>:D
But yeah, Sniper got quite a ton of the good things, though that means more CoD idiots playing SMG Sniper. Scout pistol seems nice though.
-
New weapons = new attributes I can apply to weapons with FF2 bosses.
New major update = Metamod: Source and SourceMod broken for 2 days. Don't expect new FF2 boss attributes too soon.
I'll definitely go for the Shortstop - somewhere around 0.66-0.88 ref seems appropriate.
0.66 is fine
Hmm how much for strange Southern Hospitality?
Spreadsheet says 0.66 so that should be fine
-
New Scattergun is just another case of an unlock that would've been perfect to balance Pyro, but went to a class that didn't need it instead. :< Would've fixed both his mobility and range issues.
Pistol looks swag, but that's about it. SMG was already the weakest gun in the game, reducing clip size and lowering firing rate for a 3 second crit boost in a situation where you probably aren't even going to benefit from it does nothing for you. New rifle has less bodyshot damage for an upside that isn't always active and will almost never make a difference. The bazooka description's pretty vague but it sounds like it'd lose to anything in a direct fight or even ambush, and is probably just major reflect fodder.
And then that flare gun.
15 damage flares yeahhhhhh
I'd have to see the knockback and AoE size though, but knowing Valve it's probably direct hit AoE with really minor knockback.
-
This update event is shaping up rather nicely. I'm liking the new weapons and hats/misc gear. I'll probably be acquiring all of them (completionist tendencies, woo!) but at the very least, I'll snag that item for the Sniper that makes him look like Jean Reno from The Professional. :3

New major update = Metamod: Source and SourceMod broken for 2 days. Don't expect new FF2 boss attributes too soon.
Already know non-vanilla and many servers (including ours) break after each major update and such. Even with that taken to account we have to figure out how to use said attributes.
Also, yeah, that trade is good.
-
Alright, figure I should put up some of the stuff I'm trading to get ready for the update.
First off, I'm selling all my crates for a rec if anyone's interested. Some old series in there including 3 and 4. Sold for a scout and secondary token to Hourai.
Secondly, I'm buying 3 secondary tokens and 3 scout tokens for 2 scrap per token.
All done! Ready and waiting for the update.
-
I don't think The Beggar's Bazooka actually has a missing rocket? Or is that implied?
-
Beggar's Bazooka's description is pretty vague. I'm under the impression that you charge up and fire the full clip at once, which would mean a three-shot clip, but I've heard some other interpretations of it too so I'm not sure.
Kind of curious about how severe the spread is too.
-
It doesn't have the customary -25% ammo the other three shot launchers have, and it does mention that the max burst is 3. What's really got me interested is that this implies a clip of four, and thus a spare rocket to jump with. Theoretically, if the charge is fast enough...jump, triple burst? Shouldn't get my hopes up, though.
(not that I play solly)
-
New SMG, Rocket Launcher, and Flare Gun all pique my interest. Not sure about the scout items, but I think any new Sniper Rifle would have to be off the wall bananas good to replace the Machina.
15 hours to go, Mm mmf!

The video was... Sort of passable in a strange way, yeah. Was hoping for something massive to make the pyro more interesting (i.e., dialouge), but the chances of that were prety low for a number of reasons. Dominations and revenges feel just a little emptier without the insults or one-liners... :derp:
I still hope for some sort of liquid nitrogen iceflamethrower, though. With a modest snare and "blue Australium" spycicle ice effect? It sounds workable, but not really a pyro thing :P. Sort of another "not before a cold day in hell" wish, I'll admit.
The new scattergun seems sort of interesting, too. The -30% damage looks sort of like a GRU/atomizer debuff to make it garbage for shooting at first, but the large spread reduction may make it beat out most other scout weapons for midrangeish DPS. But yeah, the lose boost on jump thing may be a bit harsh. Make it on crouch, or something. :V

The lesson to remember from Meet the Pyro is that:
Anything involving colors other than gray and brown is BRONIES and should be banned from this universe.
Because a happy mood is only for children and not for real adults and gamers such as myself.

Side note, Scout says "He's not here, is he?" in the interview.

Yeah, true enough, but it is the first time they've referred to Pyro with an actual gender that didn't involve a switcheroo (one of the blog posts years ago said "she", then "he", then I think was changed to "the Pyro" or something eventually).

Dang, that's quite a turndown for many users. It's good that the damage input is still the same but I can't run fast and do quite the damage as soldier anymore :(
And it's funny how I saw many people asking to a pyro nerf, and he gets a buff :V

Very happy with the balance adjustments as a whole, though I lol'd that phlog got nerfed (this thing was already trash, why nerf it?).
They're years late on the Equalizer nerf honestly, fucking Robin and his being a Soldier main >_>
anywho, time to finish updating then tweak items_game.txt to play with the new toys BV

Actually, now it makes a difference between degreaser and normal flamethrower with damage it takes now since the others have a +10% damage increase :(

Equalizer nerf T_T
BUT....

Got a #444 pistol \o/ (probably be an idiot and rename it 44.4 magnum as a joke).
May try one of the crate keys, but not till I'm sure what it drops (also on that note, anyone want a scorched cheese wheel? It's free)

Messing around with Scorch Shot.
It's even worse than I expected, and I already expected it to be one of the worst weapons in the game.

I crafted 3 sets of Ashes. I got a Lollichop and 2 46s. I bought some keys, unboxed a Strange Rainblower and a Gentleman's Ushanka.

Does it shoot the rockets consecutively, or simultaneously?

Consecutively. Starts out with zero rockets in the clip, holding it down will load rockets, releasing will fire them. When you load all three rockets, you have just about one second to fire them or else they'll explode in your face.
The spread makes it hard to hit a single target but it's good for hitting and breaking up crowds. Seems like it's for people who like to play the artillery.
Btw, since you have to load rockets to fire, rocket jumping will be considerably harder.
EDIT: Oh sweet, something for Demoman? I pray that whatever it is will help against Scouts and Pyros.
-
Consecutively.
Christ. This is going to be hell for Pyros...
-
Liking the silly bulletin boards and slideshow presentation in Doomsday quite a bit. Not surprisingly bots are unable to play effectively on this map after nav generation.
Also got a S. Escape Plan and a Vintage one. No, I won't be trading them, but it is interesting to see the original Equalizer item qualities get carried over to the Escape Plans.
Lastly SourceMod broke predictably, and assuming an update we'll announce a Doomsday (and possibly Reimu) meeting for this weekend.
-
I, however, don't plan on using my S. Equalizer anymore, so both it and my S. Escape Plan are up for bidding. :V Alongside a Sight for Sore Eyes and possibly a Dillinger's Duffel.
And man did the pocket pistol get crafted fast. I was late to the crafting by less than a minute, yet I ended up with craft number 1165.
-
Trade ate up my new heavy misc, other person had the same happen to their item. What do?
-
Wait until the item server sorts itself out.
A lot of those rebalances were a long time coming, and they made the Quick-Fix a bit more viable with the bungee cord-like feature. Good times.
-
Yeah, the item servers have been screwy all day. Some of my items migrated outside of my normal BP capavity while still equipped. :V
-
EDIT: Oh sweet, something for Demoman? I pray that whatever it is will help against Scouts and Pyros.
A good Demo already has no counter, and is overpowered. The last thing it needs is something for Scouts and Pyros, who are pretty much the only classes with half a chance against a good demo. [And a very good Demo will hit Scouts anyway, and Airburst to kill Pyros...]

At times like this I regret having no money in my paypal, bank account and no credit card. Especially right before potential Steam Summer Sales 2012.
Paypal because no credit card, only way for me to pay online.
Bank account because can't transfer money to my paypal.
Credit card because paypal takes forever to transfer funds in Canada.

Got two scorched crates so far, and both contained The Gentleman's Ushanka. So, anyone want to trade for one of those?

Are you looking for anything in particular ?

How much do you want for one?

Not really. I'm waiting to get a S. Rainblower from one of the crates eventually. So other than that, even metal would suffice right now. (idk how much, I'm not great with trading since I hardly do it ever :V)
-
Two ash piles, two 46es, unboxed myself some soup cans and a balloonicorn, which, I confirm, does get assists. I think I may name
him her after a certain Touhou (feel free to guess who) to check if the new name shows up as the assist instead of "Balloonicorn", but I?m probably going to wait until someone puts up screens on how it takes paint. Yeah, apparently it?s paintable. I wonder how long till the pyrovision makes me sick? :derp:
I chased down and punched out a spy demo after eating a Steak Sandvich, so I?m guessing it gets the same speed boost as the cola now? What a game changer.
-
4 Ash Piles -> 3 S46 and a Cleaner's Carbine. Other crates had Gentleman's Ushanka, Idea Tube, and S. Rainblower. Not bad.

If anyone does not want their Scorched Crates (aka S46), I will be glad to trade them off your hands.

Getting steamrolled on gravelpit defense (gravelpit already makes me want to uninstall TF2) because "quick fix is best" according to your team's medics (enemy team running kritz and uber)

Played around with the new scattergun. It's actually not bad? Once you're in the mentality of 'don't jump, run everywhere at MAXIMUM SPEED', it's actually really cool. Rolled it with Bonk!, and I was just everywhere. Shotgun itself is ass, but the awesome speed is just...well...awesome.
-
Sniper isn't too bad, in fact, I dunno if it's just me, but charge rate seems...a lot faster. Makes up for the weaker body shots, but it encourages me to get better at headshots.
Also, who's up for coming together tomorrow at the MotK server tomorrow? Just for Doomsday/Pyromania update fun?

Sounds fair to me, I'll add you in a moment.
Out of curiosity, would you be willing to part with your Quick Fix instead of one of the scraps? It's the only Medic unlock I don't have yet.

It's a nice map, though I'm partial to hightower and frontier. And that was the engie update, with the top of each base having like 4 wrangled sentries.... Good times...

I will eventually get one and may even work on ranking it up, because the other weapons still aren't going to shoot bubbles and rainbows :V Gonna wait for prices to drop though...they always do unless you're talking about items from a Salvaged Crate.
I'm hoping we get some videos on Youtube of some good Quick-Fix medic shenanigans now that they buffed it. I'm interested in seeing what happens what happens a soldier is jumping off of walls (like when going to the roof of Gravelpit B's roof...jump out of left exit, jump off of wall above shack to roof).

Quick Fix tether basically just mimics the jump without causing self-damage (though it can cause fall damage). Interesting to note, lots of people forget that Megaheal gives knockback immunity, so Quick-Fix is probably the best uber to use for things like attacking Gravelpit C, allowing a Medic-Soldier to jump on top despite sentry fire, airblasts, and whatnot.
SEKRIT VIDEO OK (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvJeDHNfTvY)

No problem with Unusual Chat, especially if it is informative/helpful in attaining my goal. :V Do you think the gap between effects would be enough to ask for a low-tier rare Strange like the Mantreads?
The plan was to get bubbles and color the cap Lime so I could have a Nitori cap (and name it Kappa Kap) (because I am a terrible human being) but I am open to suggestions on how I could work with my current one. I'm thinkin' brainwaves or something but I dunno.

2x Gentleman's Ushanka
Coupe D'isaster
Tough Guy's Toque

What would you like for the a Ushanka and the Coupe?

You know, this update kinda made me want to try playing again, but my performance kept being terrible.
So I absolutely minimized anything graphically that I could.
Should have done this way sooner. The game may look like CS 1.6 now, but I get double digit fps again! I pretty much lost any pretense of skill I once had (and I wasn't really good to begin with), but damn, at least now, I would have a chance. :V
I'll try to see if I can join on the next occasion.

Playing a bunch of Doomsday lately and some talking with Amra on IRC a while back has made me change up my tactics; I've decided to switch to Gunslinger for a while, and I'm loving the hell out of it. Having easily deployable, easily replaceable sentries is great since I can drop them down then run off to work on my dispenser/teleporter and then come back later if I need to put down a new one. Compare to a full-fledged sentry gun where I need to be next to it in order to keep it maintained, which sort of ties you down and limits your capability on maps where being mobile is an advantage.
Also, gone back to the Widowmaker from the Frontier Justice. Really decided I prefer the former; while it has less damage output, it's a lot more consistent and isn't dependent on your sentry (and doesn't require you to reload every 5 seconds if you miss a shot).
Came under budget on this month's rent and grocery expenses so I'm thinking I'm gonna unbox some crates I have sitting around. If I have anything of note that I don't need or already have I'm willing to offer it up for trade.
EDIT: I unboxed a spare Strange Rainblower, I'm willing to trade it for a Jag (or an Ambassador/Southern Hospitality so I can craft one)
-
Just a Jag? I have one to trade for it, but are you sure that's all you want?

Sure, I can make it.
-
Gunslingers are ridiculously effective on the SD servers I play on because NO ONE shoots them for some reason.
I bought a Rainblower for a reclaimed yesterday because the guy had no idea what they were worth, but neither did I and we both agreed on the deal, so I guess I lucked out, heh.
-
My experience with mini-sentries is that they are frequently useless unless placed in a really sneaky spot, which is only going to last until one or two people notice it....then it won't work again. Soldiers, demos, and snipers that are server regulars (which is most of them during primetime) are good about downing them ASAP.
It's only when there are multiple mini-sentries and/or the engineers have a dispenser full of metal so they are constantly replaced do they get truly annoying.
-
Mini-Sentry effectiveness is mostly based around what it's shooting at.
Pyros will die to a mid-range mini sentry before they can even get a flame on it. Scouts have a hell of a time with them too (unless they have Baby Face's Blaster's speed boost, apparently that outruns sentry tracking with ease)
Anything else generally isn't in a range they'd need to worry about them from, or can kill them without taking much damage.
-
They're good at killing medics too, but if there's a medic they're either dead anyway or can just hide behind their target.
-
Got 2 clean regular Rainblowers for trade if anyone wants them - going in spreadsheet price (1-1.33) due to how recent they are.

Oh wow, that's amazing. I want that Towering Pillar of Towering Pillars of Tower Pillars of Towering Pillars of Hat.
-
Hats for bullets confirmed for future update.
-
Spreadsheet prices ok?
Going by those prices as a guide, would you take 2 keys for the both of them? I can add a little more metal to the equation if you wish.
Stockbroker's Scarf for 0.66 refined
I'll totally buy that off of you.
-
Not anymore. Traded both for the Business Casual.
-
You know, this update kinda made me want to try playing again, but my performance kept being terrible.
So I absolutely minimized anything graphically that I could.
Should have done this way sooner. The game may look like CS 1.6 now, but I get double digit fps again! I pretty much lost any pretense of skill I once had (and I wasn't really good to begin with), but damn, at least now, I would have a chance. :V
I'll try to see if I can join on the next occasion.
Have you tried Chris' maxfps config?
-
Have you tried Chris' maxfps config?
I haven't modified the game in any way save for what's in the options menu inside the game. I don't even have a console open, and I wouldn't know how to change anything. :derp:
Oh yeah, and a few hours of playing today (doomsday is fun yay) have shown that my glee was apparently mostly unfounded. The fps vary wildly, probably depending on how many high-polygon items are equipped by people in the current vicinity, and most of the time they still make scout unplayable. I guess yesterday I just got lucky.
Also after 30~90 minutes of playing, my lappy tends to do that thing where it immediately shuts down to prevent overheating. So there.
If it is not too complicated to implement, please tell me more about this maxfps config. :3

If that is the case, then you should use Chris' Max FPS. It isn't complicated to install, and it'll boost your performance and helps your laptop last longer
Be warn, though. If you do that your game will look like N64 game. You can remove facial expressions, bodies, and shadows too.
In other news, I got a NEW rainblower. This time I'll be selling this one instead for about a ref.

Here is the maxfps config (http://fakkelbrigade.eu/chris/configs/)
you only need to tinker around with autoexec.cfg on your tf2 directory so it's really easy.
if you still don't have autoexec (which i think it's impossible), you can copy a cfg of anyone and rename that to autoexec, then paste the script in, and follow the instructions written in the cfg.
or just right-click save.

Weird question time.
Is there an easy way to set up a temporary small private server? I have a friend who's bad at FPSes, and just wants to goof around with me a little.

OH MY GOD YES! The game runs at about 40+ fps constantly, never dropping below 20 even in intense battles with lots of people! Instead of missing 19 out of 20 shots with the scattergun and constantly running into things, I am able top scoreboards as Scout again! :]
Thank you guys so much!
And I don't find the game that ugly this way, actually. Still looks several times better than say, CS 1.6 or Unreal Tournament. :V
The only problems are that water gets checkerboarded and that I can't seem to see pyroland textures on the ground (though I still see the weapons and effects). But that is a minor price to pay for, well, you know, playability.
I heard there may be a get-together later on? If it's not too late (lol timezones), I think I'll join. I need to prove that I can do things besides placing mini-sentries. :V
-

2 bots are on by default to keep the map rotating. But if you have 2 or more players on they will be removed automatically.

That was yesterday I think. If we we're having another one today I must've missed that info :V
Also if anyone wants a scorch shot I'm trying to sell it off for 8 small ash piles or 2 of the bigger ones.

I'll totally buy that off of you.
Sorry, sold already. :V

Yeah
I'll be perfectly honest, I know it's nice to meet, but I kinda want to, y'know, actually play :V
-
Do we actually play in the meets? Almost always no - instead we practice :V-logic, test upcoming bosses for FF2, and spam commands in console.
Does it really matter? To me it doesn't, since so long as we get together and enjoy ourselves everything goes well. :D
Probably won't come to this one, or if I do it'll be to watch over the server status.
-
Only time when we're serious is when there's serious stuff going on.
Like burning the donation box. We got our asses kicked, and we were pretty serious.

I am happy. Unboxed a S. Rainblower last night. (thanks shady for the help and the sign :V)

You are welcome!
Pyroland gets disabled because you're technically running the game at Direct X 8. Pyroland needs a minimum of DirectX9 for it to show.
Not that it matters. I seem to have gotten a hatred of pyroland. Just me though.
Wait, there's a meet. WHEN
-
There was a Doomsday part 2 meet planned today but only Frey showed up briefly.
Next meet'll be announced in the server thread, probably mid-late next month.

And yeah, I noticed the no pyroland since I run in DirectX 8. Kinda disappointing.
-
And yeah, I noticed the no pyroland since I run in DirectX 8. Kinda disappointing.
Yeah.
DX9 users can actually disable the Pyroland shaders or even force them for maps where it isn't supported. Inside the GCF there's a file (tf/cfg/mtp.cfg) that looks like this:
"VisionFilterShadersMapWhitelist"
{
"arena_badlands.bsp" "1"
"ctf_2fort.bsp" "1"
"cp_badlands.bsp" "1"
"cp_dustbowl.bsp" "1"
"cp_gravelpit.bsp" "1"
"koth_badlands.bsp" "1"
"koth_viaduct.bsp" "1"
"plr_hightower.bsp" "1"
"pl_badwater.bsp" "1"
"pl_goldrush.bsp" "1"
"sd_doomsday.bsp" "1"
}
Setting them to 0 should disable the shader, or you can add a new map to the list to force it on. For instance... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vYu0ZIfqX0)

It's pretty simple. Overloading the rocket launcher causes a backfire, which can be used to rocket jump. All you have to do is keep holding it and you'll continually overload, resulting in continuous rocket jumping.

That's the obvious part.
The part you may have missed is the kill feed.
Basically your backfires also get projected onto random people. Could be loads of fun to get 4~5 soldiers with this in one server and just repeatedly backfire against the supply cabinet. のヮの If nothing else it'll encourage Valve to fix it faster.
In other news, randomly replaced the Detonator model with the Crossbow. I might just stick with this, it fits on the Pyro perfectly. (http://puu.sh/EXK0) Still need to fix the viewmodel though...
-
...well, if anything happened, I fell asleep before it did. The plan was to get a bit of sleep at around 12 so that I would be slightly refreshed at 2 am (i.e. 8pm for you guys), but didn't hear the alarm, apparently. Welp-
Oh god damn it not this again. >:(

Because Valve included the working copy of Meet The Heavy with the Source Filmmaker beta.

While all of the SFM Movies are fun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iz_dj4u6pGA) (it's another meet the heavy), straight gameplay still has some nice gold moments (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpXqgBqCRXU) (here's also something more EP's style of gameplay (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WofcwK8Zvc)).

Because some of us are so heavily into the modding scene that we just can't play vanilla anymore, right? :P
Quite awkward to say the least...and with few exceptions such as this (Koishi) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5tGXU09Q8A), most of the FF2 vids on YT show only stock bosses, fail to properly demonstrate playing as and against a boss, or show bosses who do not have public distribution on AM.

Do you believe in miracles?
1 key for Hunted: The Demon Forge, Sold for 3 4 keys
Bought Merc Scarf for 2 keys 1 2 ref
Bought #82 Liquor Locker for Merc Scarf, Wrap, and 6 ref
Sold the Locker for S. Sapper
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The locker was price checked at 13 keys, but days with the trade open and not a single offer made me wanna trade it for something elseeeeeeeee. Lockers will eventually decline in price a bit (more) and I would suspect that'd be the case with mine. Whereas I expect S. Sappers to grow in price when #40 stops dropping.
My first high tier strange. ; w ;
Edit: ah it was forge for 4 keys and scarf for 2 key 2 ref

Sold the Locker for S. Sapper
My first high tier strange. ; w ;
Very nice. Now, do you plan to use it or sell it off once it raises in price?
-
Iunno if I start using it now, its gonna be hard to sell it off when it does raise in price since i'd have to get all the saps back later, if i still want one. Perhaps if i start jonesing for an unusual or if i get an irresistible offer i didn't solicit, then maybe.

On an unrelated note, what HUDS do you guys use? 'm a user of PVHUD myself.

Customized KBNHUD here

Using CommunityHUD atm but I'm going to change to something else eventually; the massive yellow damage numbers completely block my view of long-range targets and make rockets fired from Soldiers burning at long range nearly invisible until they're a foot away from my face.

On HUDs:
I use the regular one, with the only difference being that the class pictures next to the health display are Touhou-themed.
The charging bars on the right side of the screen are always a bit off of the screen, I don't know how to fix that.

Got an Allies Extinguished part on my Degreaser ("Phoenix's Tail") (http://tf2b.com/tf2/item/76561198001977225/586995363). That guy is why I don't want a rainblower/S. rainblower.
Also, I still have metal and I'm still looking for nametags and a S. Boston Basher.
-
After last night I think I'm starting to like Scout more than Pyro. It's not surprising since I've always been a sucker for high-mobility glass cannons, but I've gone 3000+ hours of "Pyro main, Scout secondary" so it does surprise me to an extent that I've just suddenly made the change. Pyro just doesn't have the killing power Scout has and is just way too situational as a whole, even if he is wildly fun.
-
Recently imported 5 Scorched Crates, willing to sell them in a bundle for 4 scrap. (Or 1 Scrap each.) Anyone interested?
EDIT: Recently sold one for a normal Phlog and Dueling Minigame X5

I've been working on a Ff2 boss for the past few days now (with EP's help) and he is nearly completed! I may be able to finish him tomorrow, and maybe he'll be included in the meet if it contains ff2.

I got a Lolichop out of a Pile of Ashes.
-
I got 3 scorched crates up for grabs for either 1 - 2 ash or 1 - 2 scraps each if anyone wants em.

Dropped a hat, a rocket jumper and the scout's new scattergun which I wanted to test. I am satisfied for the week :)
I will gladly accept those.
Just add me on steam.
-
Drop rate seems really high lately. Got a bunch of ash, a rocket jumper, a sticky jumper, and a bushwacka in the span of one day.
-
Drop has been really few for me actually =/

When did the jumpers start dropping?

Ithought it was when they were put on the store, but I am not so sure myself.
Got a birdie for my pirate demo for 3 refined.

Also this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW7D6r1S6W8&feature=related)

P.S: I can and will take any Scorched Crates and sell them for you, but please make it quick, as you know, it takes a loooooong time to sell those things.

Decided to unbox two crates today, and got a Strange Equalizer and Soldiers Killed part... which were the exact two items I got last time I opened crates.
On the bright side, piles of ash have netted me a Beggar's Bazooka; not sure if I'll use it, but it's certainly a nice piece in my collection. Also have two more Scorched Crates; willing to dump them for scrap since I don't particularly want to shell out for keys.
-
I'll take the diamonback. That's two scrap, right?
.22 will work. My profile (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197995243412) if you need it (alternatively just look through some other motker's profiles on steam, names Freyband). I've darkened the diamondback to reserve it for you. All I have left to sell now is the strange equalizer.
-
I'd part with mine for an appropriate offer.
Being 3 refined, right? All I have is 1 right now, although if you'd be willing to accept a key instead, I can do that.

Alas, my collection is incomplete once more! Buying any of the new nonreskin weapons for 2 scrap each.
(...did I mention this already?)

Okay, starting to come back to TF2. I'm so bad now :(
Can't play any class to any effectiveness sans medic.
-
Tales of TF2:
One time I was on Badwater offense. I decided to play medic for once because it had been a while (and because we had no medic)
Gates open. Ok, I'm not dead yet, it's a good start. I find a Heavy, we both go out, uber pop.
Heavy decides it's a good idea to go back in the spawn and wait there until the uber is over. The only other people around me are snipers.
I stopped touching my keyboard and mouse for a good 30 seconds, looking at my screen. Then I ripped my PSU out of my computer, flipped my desk 3 times, threw my screen by the windo--- decided my team didn't need a medic to end up losing anyway and switched class to terribad Scout.
I didn't play medic since that happened.
-
Tales of TF2:
I didn't play medic since that happened.
Have you tried asking people?
When I'm Medic and there are 3 sentries guarding the point, all I have to do is ask for a demoman, and someone is usually happy to oblige.
-
I only play Medic if I know someone on the team actually knows how to do their job.
No use in asking for a Soldier or Demoman if you end up getting someone that doesn't know how to play the class or work with a medic.
-
I tend to use Blut and switch to it during combat at the slightest hint that my partner doesn't know what he is doing. If he -does- know it afterall, then he is going to survive two or three seconds without healing before I switch back, and I will know to rely on him for further situations. If he doesn't, then that is no longer my own problem and I am of more use that way. (I actually like playing battle medic, sue me)
Also, trading scorched crates against any of the new items. I got 5. Make me an offer.
Actually I just want a rainblower. :derp:
-
I've a spare clean one, feel free to send a trade request!
-
And I am the one demo who usually asks for medics in vain in the payloads maps when on blue team, so I end up doing sticky jumps and killing snipers with the bottle while in the meantime we lose :V
-
I tend to use Blut
whyyyyyyy

Every Source Film Maker video we noted here on the forums was put on the official SFM site. (http://www.sourcefilmmaker.com/) :o
@ Gamecubic; yeah, I don't medic often either. Guessing this is a recent experience?
-
whyyyyyyy
I'm talking about the games where I shoot more than I heal. This is of course not applicable when playing with reliable, good players where even during combat whipping out your primary should be the exception.
Though really, even when I know it is not as good most of the time (heck, usually battle medic is not as good as healing medic to begin with, so what the hell :derp: ), it is fun for me to use it. I don't really need more reason than that, do I? :V
Also, I totally forgot that there were new Scout items. Also, I have so many dupli- and triplicates of weapons that my backpack is almost full. Though almost one of the 6 pages is taken up only by crates, of pretty much all ages. Teehee.

I know that feel bro. :V (looks at own backpack) Least it isn't as bad as that time I had more than 5 of one weapon.

Woo. Decided to open a scorched crate; got a birdman of aberdeen. Anyone interested?
-
How much for it
-
Spreadsheet is telling me 1.5 keys. I'm flexible in that regard though; 'm really not too experienced with this.
-
Being 3 refined, right? All I have is 1 right now, although if you'd be willing to accept a key instead, I can do that.
A key is fine. Try and catch me online over the next few days.

Tales of TF2:
I do/see so much stupid crap in tf2 that I need to do one too now. Dunno how to quote like that though.
---
It was a time ago on Badwater. Offense. I was a medic, as I regularly am for my first life, for the free Uber. SCIENCE My philosophy demands that half the team should be. I'd just finished talking my friend into letting me medic him. A hard-won victory.
When the gates opened, we rushed out an inadvisably-long distance, as I often do, before I popped my Uber.
Kunaitotheface killl.
Backstab.
Backstab.
Backstab.
Backstab.
Backstab?
Regrets? That the server had no replays, and that I didn't have a mic.
---
And somehow we ended up taking out 5-6 members of the enemy team. I got 0 achievements for that. Their medic-heavy seemed to ignore us completely and got stabbed en passant, which may have been the funniest part.
I've had less success on subsequent sniper/engie/spy Ubers ("THIS IS WHY THERE IS NO ACHIEVEMENT FOR UBERING A SNIPER!") . Like 4 kills and one sap total or something. Pubs are cannot think on their feet. They always panic or run at the spawn. =M

After plenty of trading, here's my final trade stock. (http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/2693892) MotK prices applicable, of course. :3
-
What would you like for Helmet without a Home, Captain's Cocktails, and the Sight for Sore Eyes? Preference going to the helmet.
-
Unboxed a Strange Stickybomb Launcher, doesn't really want it, a
nyone wanna swap it for a S.Rifle? (1 Reclaimed as sweet.)
EDIT: I would much, much rather prefer a strange Your Eternal Reward, does anyone has one for sale?
-

Can go 1.33 ref each for the helmet and cocktails. Thinking 3 ref for the eyes, possibly less. Been getting nothing but lowball offers. :V
-
Been getting nothing but lowball offers. :V
I tend to lowball on practically every offer. If someone doesn't want to set a price on what they think a given item is worth to them, I'd much rather not trade with them...and if TF2WH were working, I wouldn't even bother with sites like TF2Outpost and their users.
And then there are the douchebags that raise the amount that they want for an item after you start a trade session >:(
-

Sounds fine. Would a couple of keys suffice plus whatever additional metal it takes to meet your quota? I'll stalk track you down later. :V
And then there are the douchebags that raise the amount that they want for an item after you start a trade session >:(
and that's when I play hardball right back at them. Either they could honor the advertised price, or close the deal and fuck off. I don't like the ones who advertise something for Reclaimed when they really wanted Refined. (or even keys) There are just some really greedy pricks out there.
-
Sold a dirty FDU which I got for 1 refined for 3.
Time to buy a Cremator's Cons.
-
Asking for someone to swap my Strange Rawket Lawnchair for a Name Tag and Desc. Tag respectively.
EDIT: Swapped it off immediately after posting. :/
-
Someone sold me a name tag for a refined and I bought some grey paint from the store so now I finally have a "youmu (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%A8%E3%82%A6%E3%83%A0)" for my Demo.
-
And tf2wh is back up.
And of course, the new items are either overpriced or underpriced.

So, I haven't gotten any of the newer Pyro weapons since before the Phlogistonator and Manmelter came out, and haven't had the opportunity to play around with them. How do they fare against the average Puff'n'sting Degreaser/Axtinguisher combo? Would the Manmelter or that new bubble gun be worth using and getting used to, or should I stick to my Detonator/shotgun secondaries? Is the Phlog and Rainblower interesting enough with new mechanics to switch out of my Attendant set?
-
Manmelter isn't bad, but the flare/detonator is generally better. Rainblower is pretty much just a normal flamethrower, but with PYROVISION. Phlog is...well, if you don't want to think, and just burn things, there's that. THe lack of airblast is a major disadvantage imo.
scorchshot is absolute bullox, don't bother.
-
Rainblower is identical to the regular flamethrower, except it a) grants you PYROVISION and b) has an aoe tauntkill. And I -still- want one! :V
-
Scorchshot is bubblegun? Something about the longer it flies the further it bounces people around or something?
Also I am sad Cremator's Touch isn't a thing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfYKHyMvAIQ)

I'd say that the Phlog is a great weapon to ambush with. And I don't know if this is actually what it is or just what I think, it uses twice as much ammo, so it probably dishes out a bit more danage? The big disadvantage with this weapon is the lack of airblasts, so you just really can't W+M1 to everyone and expect it to give you a kill. You'll have to be careful so you won't get rolled so badly from a class like demoman or solly.
The rainblower is pretty much a stock flamer with Pyroland. It dishes out more ammo than the Phlog I noticed, but the damage is pretty much the same. It's basically just a reskin with happy stuff.
I got a spare Phlog on me right now if you wanna give it a try.

As stated, Rainblower's just a reskinned flamethrower with PYROVISION and a (badass) taunt kill.
Phlogistinator's a little weird, it's tough to use against good players but steamrolls low-skill servers (i.e. 35:1 kdr on valve servers). It trades airblast and lower damage output for a self-heal+self-kritz for every 225 fire damage you do (all fire weapons count for this). Generally speaking good players will just camp you until Mmmph's animation ends and kill you before you do anything though, so it's probably best to just use for self-healing when roaming. In general it's not worth giving up airblast for.
Manmelter's...pretty bad. I guess you could replace the Flare Gun with it in Backburner/Phlog loadouts so you can extinguish teammates, but unless there are Pyros constantly diving into your team it's a straight downgrade from all the other secondaries.
Scorch Shot's also pretty horrible. 15 damage to shove people around...at long range. At close/mid range the knockback is negligible and at long range it's unpredictable. It has niche uses like shoving people off the Badlands spire or knocking an ubered medic away from his patient, but you have next to no combat capabilities when using it.
-
You do have a swanky taunt though.
-
I killed some people at spawn with that taunt before it got patched :V

The hard part is not using the Degreaser. The minor damage buff that the other flamethrowers got doesn't feel that great.
And in a weird twist of fate, Flamethrower damage is now back to where it was two years ago :V

It's a lot more noticeable on servers without damage spread. I wrote up a thread on it here. (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2787539) But yeah, I've actually been occasionally running stock over Degreaser now.

It's still like 5 DPS off or something.

Most servers use damage spread, and disabling damage spread makes servers ineligible for quick-play. I think it's going to be hard for me to go back to slow weapon switches for a small damage boost...but I still traded for a Strange Rainblower anyway :3

I don't think that is how Valve is handling their math. The patch notes specifically mention the Backburner and Degreaser damage staying the same as a result of the changes to the base damage.
Current Flamethrower with -10% damage: 138.105 DPS (right about the Degreaser's wiki value of 138.15 DPS).
Current Degreaser (and pre-Pyromania Flamethrower) with +10% damage: 151.965 DPS (less than the Flamethrower's wiki value of 153.45 DPS).
That might explain the DPS difference you see with your math.
-
I don't think that is how Valve is handling their math.
Well, there's an easier way to prove this directly:
(http://puu.sh/Hf3U)
Damage was listed as 180 at launch.
EDIT: Which reminds me of a long-standing flamethrower bug that hasn't been addressed. I doubt they'll fix it now but I may as well e-mail Valve about it just in case.

Also, quoting myself from elsewhere:
http://www.tf2items.com/id/esoterica
Selling 2 scorched crates, and I suppose assorted regular crates.
Looking for:
-Metal
-Wrap Assassin
-Unarmed Combat
-Overdose
-Perhaps a last charred/roasted item so I can make one last ash pile (or I'd trade the three I have for any of the above as well, since I have a feeling I'll just get another crate anyway)
1 scrap or weapon per, I guess. Not really sure what the crate market's like.
-
I have a spare Overdose that I give to you. I'm not terribly interested in crates :V
-
[...]
-Overdose
This one is still up for trade (http://tf2b.com/tf2/item/Gamecubic/840794843)
-
Yeah got one scorched crate to trade, already used money for 4, don't want to spend any more :<
-
Used keys for 3 here and they keep coming. These time-only crates really do emit that feeling.
-
This one is still up for trade (http://tf2b.com/tf2/item/Gamecubic/840794843)
Unless you mean for crates I don't think I'm interested in a strange overdose necessarily. I'm a crossbow medic at heart, I just want an overdose because I don't have one. :V
-
shameless plug (http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/2792552)
I also have a bunch of crates I'm never going to open, including 2 #46s. HOORAY
-

I know that feeling, these 46s compel me to open them due to that silly line about disappearing after 7/11.
Highlight of the night, kill an enemy pyro 1v1 in a hallway with degreaser, immediately get called a cheater. Clearly my tactic of blocking the exit while enemies walk into my m1 is a terrible cheat and I should be banned. :V
-
I don't think you'll be able to get an Unarmed Combat for just a scrap. They still go for a bit more than that, since you can only get them through crafting or drops.

Yes! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_W9WK7JtsM)

custom scripts (mostly making the hugeass ambassador not visible while firing) make some things so much easier.
-
custom scripts (mostly making the hugeass ambassador not visible while firing) make some things so much easier.
All of my scripts basically handle mucking around with keybinds and aliases. For instance, my basic weapon select stuff looks like:
bind "1" primary
bind "2" secondary
bind "3" melee
alias vm_state "r_drawviewmodel 0";
alias vm_on "r_drawviewmodel 1; alias vm_state vm_on"
alias vm_off "r_drawviewmodel 0; alias vm_state vm_off"
alias primary "slot1; alias nextwep secondary; alias prevwep melee; vm_off; alias qswitch secondary; fov90"
alias secondary "slot2; alias nextwep melee; alias prevwep primary; vm_off; alias qswitch primary; fov90"
alias melee "slot3; alias nextwep primary; alias prevwep secondary; vm_on; alias qswitch primary; fov90"
mwheelbinds //sets mwheelup and mwheeldown to nextwep/prevwep
alias qswitch secondary
bind "q" qswitch
alias nextwep secondary
alias prevwep melee
Unless I left out something, that sets up my mouse buttons and scrollwheel to use the weapon select aliases I configured, which toggles the viewmodel, sets the FOV (which I set to 75 for a "zoom" effect on the Ambassador, but only on the spy), and sets my quickswitch to toggle between my primary and secondary weapon. It also makes sure that if I happen to use the scrollwheel that it still follows my preferences. But when I'm playing medic:
alias secondary "slot2; alias nextwep melee; alias prevwep primary; vm_on; alias qswitch primary"
alias melee "slot3; alias nextwep primary; alias prevwep secondary; vm_on; alias qswitch secondary"
bind "g" "+use_action_slot_item"
bind "ALT" "taunt"
Enables viewmodels for my medigun (which helps me remember which one I have selected, especially when the item servers shit their selves) and rebinds my taunt key so it uses my action slot (Meet The Medic taunt). Rebinds alt to the normal taunt so I can use the Amputator's taunt.
I also use a handy Engineer quick-switch macro. In autoexec.cfg:
alias lastClass "join_class engineer"
alias urgentClassChange "lastClass"
bind BACKSPACE urgentClassChange
In engineer.cfg:
alias urgentClassChange "lastClass"
For the other class configs, lines like this:
alias lastClass "join_class medic"
alias urgentClassChange "join_class engineer"
alias lastClass "join_class heavyweapons"
alias urgentClassChange "join_class engineer"
Long story short, I can hit backspace to switch to engineer (for quickly removing sappers, every second counts) or upgrading teleporters. Then I hit backspace again to return to my previous class.
-
Oh so we're talking scripts, now?
alias "nmeuber" "say_team === ENEMY UBER POPPED ==="
alias "nmekritz" "say_team === ENEMY KRITZ POPPED ==="
alias "+alt" "bind "PGDN" "nmekritz""
alias "-alt" "bind "PGDN" "nmeuber""
bind "PGDN" "nmeuber"
bind "ALT" "+alt"
Tells my team when the enemy team uses an Uber or a Kritz.
PGDN: Uber
Alt+PGDN: Kritz
(Page Down is really useful because it's my mouse's 6th button. I use my mouse's Page Up for my local surf server's teleport command)
// Aliases
alias "+flamer" "slot1; +attack"
alias "-flamer" "-attack"
alias "+shotgun" "slot2; +attack"
alias "-shotgun" "-attack"
alias "+axe" "slot3; +attack"
alias "-axe" "-attack"
alias "+airblast" "slot1; +attack2"
alias "-airblast" "-attack2"
// Binds
bind "mouse4" "+airblast"
bind "mouse1" "+flamer"
bind "mouse3" "+shotgun"
bind "mouse2" "+axe"
This is every class-specific config I use, slightly modified to fit my loadout for each class.
No I can't use the Detonator properly with that config. I don't like the Detonator anyway.
bind "KP_END" "join_class scout" // 1
bind "KP_DOWNARROW" "join_class soldier" // 2
bind "KP_PGDN" "join_class pyro" // 3
bind "KP_LEFTARROW" "join_class demoman" // 4
bind "KP_5" "join_class heavyweapons" // 5
bind "KP_RIGHTARROW" "join_class engineer" // 6
bind "KP_HOME" "join_class medic" // 7
bind "KP_UPARROW" "join_class sniper" // 8
bind "KP_PGUP" "join_class spy" // 9
bind "KP_SLASH" "load_itempreset 0"
bind "KP_MULTIPLY" "load_itempreset 1"
bind "KP_MINUS" "load_itempreset 2"
bind "KP_PLUS" "load_itempreset 3"
So I can use my numpad to select a class and a loadout preset
And then I use a maxgraphics config. Without HDR, antialiasing, gibs and ragdolls.

Last night I scored an Infernal Orchestrina for what would come out to about 1 ref 1 rec thanks to an incorrect (perhaps default) price at TF2WH. Which is probably why they were disappearing before most people could managed to reserve one...I think a user bot was auto-reserving them or something.
I paid 5,950 credits for it, it has since been adjusted to 19,690. Ka-ching! I actually wanted one, I'm not one of those users who were buying them on the cheap to resell elsewhere.

Scripts, eh?

alias +secondary "slot2; viewmodel_fov 90"
alias -secondary "viewmodel_fov 0"
alias +melee "slot3; viewmodel_fov 90"
bind 1 +primary
bind 2 +secondary
bind 3 +meleeHides viewmodels for non-melee weapons.
bind mouse4 "voicemenu 2 6"For easy thumbs-up killcams after reflect kills :derp:
alias +detjump "+attack; wait 5; slot1"
alias -detjump "-attack;"
bind mouse4 +detjumpNice script to bypass the increased self-damage when wielding the Detonator, but I haven't had it in active use for awhile since 80% of the servers I'm on don't allow wait commands.
-
've mostly been using Stabby's scripts, myself, since I had the wonderful idea of actually reading the description to his videos. *gasp*
Fiddles around with my HUD, turned off the PVHUD crosshair and used the scripted one. 75POV on Ambassador use, hides it, and 90POV when I bring up my watch, knife, or sapper. Small crosshairs on Spy are really useful.
And my pyromania loot boils down to a Hazmat's Headcase, a Birdman of Aberdeen, and a Business Casual. Keeping the Casual for myself, but the Hazmat's and Birdman are up for grabs at the listed prices on the spreadsheet.

I think I've gotten around 50 hat drops. One of the advantages of playing before Valve broke old-style idling (no drop cap, leave TF2 running in an idle server forever and win massive hats).
And I've gotten my second Meet The Medic taunt in about a month. Sadly no High Five taunt for me.

I've gotten like six hat drops over 3600 hours.

The last hat that actually dropped for me was a medic's hat, and I gotten rid of it so early
But I keep getting same drops.

I've had less than a dozen drop for me since I started playing, and I was around before hats if that says anything. Valve doesn't take kindly to all of my Gaben jokes. :V

I've had below 10 hats drop over my entire career. In addition when using the 'craft random headgear' recipe I tend to get Sniper stuff. Hilarious.

The only hat drops I've gotten were engie-related (Safe 'n Sound and Pip-Boy), and I sold both of them. The only really good drop I've gotten recently was a Rocket Jumper (which I'm also trying to sell :V).

I'm still saddened by the fact that I found five Prussian Picklehaubes (all before the WAR update), when all I wanted was a Vintage Tyrolean. Then I eventually found one of those, now in double-vintage goodness.
My very first hat drop was a Tyrant's Helm. My second (IIRC) was a Scottish Stovepipe (which I remember dropping while playing on Viaduct). Ah, memories.

Short compilation of several jumps on Gorge, Granary, and Gravelpit. I'm starting to like it more than the Detonator as a mobility tool, it can still do a lot of the useful jumps with considerably less self-damage (15~20 on all the jumps in the video), though some of them are notably harder.
For what it's worth, max jump height with the Scorch Shot is marginally higher than Scout's double jump.

I don't know where you saw this but on the spreadsheet is 0.33. And even if we don't follow spreadsheet I've seen many people selling it for 2 scraps-1 reclaimed+scrap.
I bought 5 dueling mini games on tf2wh for a bit less of a reclaimed each, since there was the cheapest place I could find.

I thought it was 1 rec for each use available (aka unused).

I've bought several Duel Games for one Rec, unused. That said, I'd be interested in buying some of those games off of you, but I think I'm going to stockpile some metal for a while. Lots of recent trades have sapped my reserves.
In other news... I got a Balloonicorn, painted it white, and named it Sparklelord (http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/15p65/). Has his influence corrupted me? Perhaps so :V

Hmm, well I can go with a rec then, since once again, I don't duel, and any metal is good enough for me :V

Does anyone know a good use scorch would have, besides jumps? Does anyone in the thread think it will get a buff soon? (to make it have better uses.)
I'm now going to build a loadout set for Flandre. But I'm looking for a hat currently. Anyone knows how much Waxy Wayfinder is?
-
The fire and forget AoE is apparently useful for spy checks from really far away without thinking, and you can set people on fire from really far away without thought. Which is a thing.
-

This video explains how it's more useful than most think (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRGCCXBPFBg)
-

Honestly if you want to do jumps you should be using the Detonator. It's the true Pyro mobility tool. Scorch can still do some nifty jumps, but they're a lot harder to do, and it's more limited in general in terms of mobility.
Scorch Shot's good for applying AoE burn (especially useful with Phlogistinator), knocking back from range (read: blocking ubers from outside airblast range), denying people from standing on elevated points like Gravelpit C or Badlands spire, and if you're really good with it, you can scorch people out of flamethrower range into a wall, airblast them before they can start moving again, effectively allowing for a mid-range axtinguish setup.
It probably will get buffed though, but I'm sure it'll be a month or three before that happens at least. It's better than the Manmelter, at least.
-
I didn't think that there'd be that difference in use (I never bothered seeing it's explosion range, and thought that it wouldn't do anything to uber.)
Does anyone have a spare one of them, or wanting to get rid of one? I'll take one to try out different stuff for it.
Edit: just got one. Now I'm currently on a hunt for waxy wayfinder (when i can afford one)

Oh, I overlooked one of the less obvious aspects of the Scorch Shot; it's a great Engineer removal tool. An engie can't repair a sentry if he can't stand near it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiVUkotL3eU
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PGBM6d40QM
...only thing that bothers me about this is you could kill the engie with two flares just as easily.
-
Kyo, if you want your Scorch Shot, I have already netted you one, c'mere and trade once you have time.
-
Have been playing with the FaN a bit (due ff2 influence) and wow, it's a very good weapon to mess with heavies and to make a combo with the default pistol to take out most of the classes. The problem, of course, is if you miss you are pretty much fucked.
-
I used to enjoy the fan, but yeah, once you know how to twitch shot and move around like an annoying little bastard, the scatter is much, much better. You tend to end up much less... dead. Oh, and Shameless advertisment (http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/3000523)!
-
You know whats an underrated scout weapon? Fan o' War. Combine that with the Mad Milk, and maybe the Shortstop, and not only are you surprisingly durable but you also support your team very well.
-
In the time it takes to hit someone with a Fan o War and meatshot them, you could have meatshotted them twice. Doesn't seem all that worth it.
-
Yeah, there isn't a single situation where the Fan o' War is actually better than just straight-up killing the target yourself. Even with Baby Face's Blaster you're better off doing the dirty work.
-
I've had a couple of situations where the Fan o' War was actually incredibly helpful. I'm not the best marksman with any of the scatterguns, but the Shortstop seems to give me the best success rate. The Fan helps me when I come around the corner and run into a Heavy/Medic pair; even if I don't manage to get away, the Heavy is marked for the rest of my team to drop. Other times it seems a little extraneous just to land the Fan hit on them when yeah you could just meatshot them, so by all means do so. If you're actually, y'know, Scouting, and off on your own away from your team, no one else will benefit from the minicrits so just shotgun them down. If you're defending or at the front line, the Fan o' War is pretty good to take out key targets.
Also aside from the Sandman it's the only Scout melee weapon that I have that's worth a damn :(
-
If you can somehow get close and hit em with the FoW though, you can hit em with your scattergun/FaN at the same distance with the same accuracy and kill them with that extra meat shot.
-
Yeah but I'm bad and I panic a lot and can't aim for shit :ohdear:
-
I like the wrap assassin and candy cane! They're not bad.
The fish and unarmed combat are also funny.
-
So I got ALL these crates I want to get rid of for something. For MotK though, I'll give bunches away for mere scrap per bunch (especially those 44's and 45's), because I have NO use for them whatsoever. Who wants em?

Had a beautiful moment of silent teamwork and understanding with another Scout today. Capped Dustbowl 1-2 ourselves against a two-engie nest; the other Scout ran bonked between the sentries while I killed the first engineer/sentry, then I bonked afterward while he took out the other and we capped afterward, all with zero communication :V
-
If only I had recorded this game...
Payload. Enemy team had a couple of medics, sollies, demos, and 2 really annoying spies. My team had engies, snipers, spies and pyros. We were getting raped hard.
And so I had to use my worst class: Heavy. (This is a joke--Heavy is my least played class)
Not only did I have a 20+ kill spree and 7 dominations by the end of the round, I killed their medics and effectively stopped their push dead in its tracks. Not to mention I went first place.
I laugh at their spies too, at how much panic I spread throughout them. (I play heavy like I play spy, so I use spy routes.) Nobody from blue team expected a lone heavy to come crashing down the sky and killing them all when they least expected it.

That required getting a series #30 crate. Anything in it is worth several times the value of a key, so opening one of those is a no-brainer.
Unless you're obsessed with getting an unusual, just about any other item found in a normal crate is better acquired through trading. Just wait a few weeks after the hype dies down and the price is all but guaranteed to be less than the value of a key, and you can get exactly what you want.

-
Well. So did I.
OH GOD NEW FUCKING SAPPER
ANTI-WATER PYRO AXE
BURNING MINIGUN
-
So 4 new weapons? They seem kinda interesting; new Sapper sounds kinda weird though, I guess the degrading would be so that your Sappers could do some lasting "damage", since Engies can easily repair a building back to full health if they remove the Sapper, whilst upgrading requires more resources.
Flying Guillotine sounds like it'd work pretty well with a good aim and a Sandman; leading the target is important for any real projectile (non-hitscan) weapon.
Neon Annihilator seems pretty conditional, though it seems to sync up well with Milkman Scouts and Jarate Masters. Dunno if it's really suited for the Pyro though; water is meant to weaken Fire-types, isn't it? Personally i'd have given it to someone else, maybe Scout or Sniper (likely Sniper since Scout already has a Sleeping Dogs weapon), a class that makes proper use of liquids. Hell, if Demoman could throw Moonshine as a secondary/primary, a noxious heavy brew that intoxicates on touch (as well as makes them wet), HE could use the Neon Annihilator (the Moonshine would allow for good Demo-Pyro assists, too, if the Moonshine were flammable).
As for the Heatmaker, i'd have to see it in action; does it generate a ring-of-fire kind of AoE when spun-up, making meleeing hard to do whilst he's shooting, or does Heavy plonk it down like some sort of Sentry, forcing him to switch to secondary/melee? The former makes more sense, though the latter would be damn awesome, even if it encroaches on Engineer territory.
All in all, these weapons seem kinda cool yet strange, though nonetheless they seem unique.

Bugs
When sapping a Mini-Sentry with the Red-Tape Recorder, the toolbox at the end of the animation will be much smaller than a normal toolbox.
A downgraded building will not have its health reduced to the lower level, and if upgraded afterwards will take on an additional health increase. For example, when downgrading a level 3 Sentry to level 1, it will keep the 216 HP from the level 3 state and will keep gaining max HP when upgrading it again.
Attaching a regular Sapper on a Sentry Gun affected by this glitch will result in a server crash.
The Homewrecker can't destroy the Red-Tape Recorder in one hit.
The Red-Tape Recorder does not glow when crit boosted.
When a building is destroyed, it doesn't always appear in the killfeed.

On Sakuya-style names, I suggest looking over her spell cards and/or stage themes for some ideas. Touhou wiki is your friend. At one time, I was going to use "Misdirection", "Illusional Misdirection", or "Lunar Clock" for some of my Spy stuff, but found something that fit better. Help yourself to those if you wish.
The only new weapon that I've seen in action is the new Minigun. Yeah, that thing is... interesting. The ring of fire that surrounds the Heavy is wider and stronger than you'd think, and paired with the damage from the gun itself, it is quite deadly. Handy to keep Spies off of him. It's supposed to chew through ammo very quickly, but I have yet to see a Heavy run out of ammo while wielding it.
I haven't seen the new sapper in action, but that video posted earlier along with other testimonies that I've read make it sound quite frustrating to fight against. I even heard that they were thinking of speeding up the time it takes to downgrade buildings. D:
-
The new sapper is a troll tool. Last time I used it I swear it got to level 1 by the time he took it off. It downgrades so fast. Its useful for taking out nests when going solo.
New minigun does chew up a lot of ammo, and having it revved up will chew ammo so they gotta be careful when to rev it. Probably good with a shotgun if you aren't familiar with locations of ammo and stuff to conserve ammo.
That cleaver is strong, but it's just like milk and jarate, except it has to hit directly. I dont know how much damage it does by itself, but using sandman with it will probably hurt a lot.
-
That cleaver is strong, but it's just like milk and jarate, except it has to hit directly. I dont know how much damage it does by itself, but using sandman with it will probably hurt a lot.
The cleaver crits (on stunned targets) for 150, then does bleed damage. Depending on how much damage the ball does, sandman+guillotine has the power to one shot classes with less than 200 health. That is, if you can land both the ball and the cleaver in succession.

Because it's upside is too situational for it's debuffs. On the topic of the new weapons though, is it possible to jump over the heavies fire field without getting lit on fire? I believe I did it multiple times as a scout, so a spy may be able to still backstab without getting lit (need someone to science and confirm though).

Back to the poor side of tf2: Got myself a D. Fast Learner painted with that fabulous lime color for 2 keys and bought a Backwards Ballcap. Now I only need to be a good scout player :derp:
And holy shoot, didn't know it was so lucrative to buy paints from store and sell them to others.

Update today including modifying the Neon Annihilator (now can break sappers like the homewrecker), a new China-town styled KOTH map (Kong-King), and some bug-fixes.

It now breaks sappers?
At least it's more useful now.

Played the new map
I instantly loved it holy shit
But it REALLY caters to scouts and gunslingers. So anyone with either more good scouts or good engies will dominate here. It's because it's all about close quarters too. Pyro are pretty good on it too.
Dunno about Spy yet, but I can imagine it being decent for them as there are A FUCK LOAD of pathways to anywhere. The downside is that a lot of people go back and forth, so it'll be hard to know who'll go where for you to backstab em.

Ugh. Why.

They are also in doublecross and granary. It's named skybox_carrier, and there is a file that dictates their coordinates.

Another map that incentives mini-sentry gameplay. Sucks hard when you are trying to enjoy being a scoot.

Got back into vanilla TF2 effectively yesterday, still steamrolling pubs like nothing despite little experience on King. Only complaint about that map - it uses Simplified Chinese characters, which doesn't fit its Hong Kong resemblence too well. (unless it was based on Shenzen or something instead, but I don't know)

Oh but of course. Major update while I'm stuck AFK for a full week (missing the first 2 days of school in the process, thanks family :V ) on a stupid kindle.

Nice vid, though I think we'll be able to adjust the number of players via cvars or SM plugins in some time.
A bit too many cues from KF and SMNC if you ask me...but hey, this still ought to be fun.

Yeah I also thought that player amount can be adjusted. Tf2 is meant to be 24 players, but there are server that goes to 34.
I can't wait to see mods with this mod. Machine vs Saxton Hale. Probably

uh... You did waste all that trade swag.
When all the items on the list were crafted together, the game created a system-wide message alerting everyone to the Blood Brothers comic.
-----
Looking at the enemies list (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Mann_vs_Machine), pyros and especially spies are going to be near useless against the robo-horde. Maybe Pyros may be useful for knockback if they start to get too close. Standard Engies with a Wrangler and a full nest, otoh, could be invaluable.
Something tells me the best balance will be the 6 shown in the trailer; Medic, Engie, Heavy, Demoman, Soldier, and Scout. Though the Scout could probably be swapped for a sniper or pyro.

Yeah, I read that it was a one-time craft or something. If you don't want that Capacitor, Exuro, I'll buy it from ya.

I can't connect to any of the servers, not MvM or regular multiplayer. I've tried defragging and validating the cache. And I'm just about out of ideas.

And no, I've seen MvM maps in the regular server list just fine.

two things broken; Styles on items do not always display properly (noticed on my bird and my hero's tail), and if you bring up one of the orange side menus it crashes a server. Votemenu, admin command lists, noisemaker menus, all of em instantly crash a server. MvM is pretty good stuff though. Hope to play more in future (with less broken servers and needing to private servers just to play).

Dawn of the 6th day: 48 hours remain - Now missing school :V
-
Decided to Mann Up and see what that was about. We got to the Phase 7 (final) and just couldn't keep up. 4 tanks, 4 Deflector Heavies, each with 4 Medics in tow. Tons of Pyros, Demos, Spies, and since I was Engie.. Sentry Busters. We were doing fine until our sixth player left. Apparently, Valve needs to figure out a way to rotate in a new player or something when that happens.
This wasn't as bad as what we had earlier on the MotK server, the endless giant Heavies and Scouts.
but still. SO. MUCH. DAMN. FUN.
-
The endless giant hoovies weren't bad, I was killing a decent amount of them as pyro. :/
But hell, sentry busters.
-
My major complaint is the inability to form a full party through matchmaking.
-
My complaint is DAT LINE
And servers should only have a maximum players of six during waiting time, so players won't be moved to spec when the game gets full.
I'm disappointed with the lack of movement speed upgrade, but them upgrades makes my scorch shot DEADLY. %60 firing speed, increased burn damage, max ammo increase, and 100 Hp on kill. Powerful tool against the minors both in damage and harassment.
-
Spies are actually a lot better than I expected, especially for taking out certain targets like the medics or even giant machines with the sappers (even sentry busters).
Also, Engie so OP :V
-
I would like to extend a huge thank you to whoever set the server up with MvM for us because I probably wouldn't have had as much fun with the update if I couldn't get a respite from the monkeyhouse that is random matchmaking.
Cheers man, I had a great time.
-
>"If FF2 returns, we got some new stuff to work with! Such as no backstabs, disponsible sentry, etc.
MvM is a great mode, but it could have been made better. We got such on mann wave 5 because we kept getting overran by them fist of steel giants and scout rushes.

-
I kind of...feel bad about this. But truth is I am getting bored of MvM already, I really feel bad Valve, but it seems my preference over FF2 is unmatched by them bots. :(
-
Managed to clear two Mann Up sessions. We would have gotten a third, but our Phlog Pyro abandoned us in the final wave. :( Regardless, I was playing with a mean group of Aussies. Good stuff.
Each of the final missions is beyond brutal, but that second mission of Decoy is full of pure, liquid FUCK YOU:
3 Tanks
2 Deflector Heavies
26 Medics
Lots of giant (crit) Soldiers and (rapidfire) Demos
Snipers everywhere
and tons of Heavy Mittens that flank you from behind
There was more to the mission, but we couldn't get beyond the second tank with only 5 people. If only there was a way to bring someone in, or have better luck with filling empty slots. I know why this happens and why nobody wants to join games already in progress, but damn. I hate having to abort because someone ragequit.
-
I started playing again to try out MvM, and a really funny glitch happened in the first game. A bot managed to arm the bomb while we focused on the sentry buster and blew up our base, but the wave didn't reset. Our base was destroyed and the bots brought another bomb, and everytime they got near the base they would insta die when they touched our destroyed base so they could never arm the bomb again. Then the tanks came and managed to reach our base and drop the bomb but nothing happens and the wave continues. We pretty much had three tanks sitting at our base doing nothing while we destroyed them and the bots died as soon as they touched our base. Needless to say, we beat MvM on advanced thanks to this glitch. Its pretty fun, but sometimes it gets boring when it sends just 128 normal scouts 3 at a time.

Do you only win those common items with the tickets?If so, I am highly disappointed.
-
Found a way to manually invoke the advanced missions on user-hosted MvM servers (like ours) via cvar adjustment. You want things to be harder, just ask. :V
EDIT: Also configured things so that you can vote to change the mission via the in-game 'Call Vote' button in the main menu. Works on both servers.
-

This. Or at least there should be a mechanism that if there are fewer people, the missions are easier so you can actually win?
-
I kind of...feel bad about this. But truth is I am getting bored of MvM already, I really feel bad Valve, but it seems my preference over FF2 is unmatched by them bots. :(
From what I hear FF2 is broken for the time being mostly because of the sound cache being much more heavily used for MvM robot sounds while the max cache size remains unchanged.
Or at least there should be a mechanism that if there are fewer people, the missions are easier so you can actually win?
That would be very helpful, yeah. As it stands now the only real assist would be to give players more money, and that involves SM (which not everyone is willing to setup) as well as active staffers to give said money.
-
Do you only win those common items with the tickets?If so, I am highly disappointed.
Yeah, I'm not too thrilled about that, myself. After we completed the first mission, we had two players that brought supply tickets. So, everybody got three items for completing the mission. Everybody got only standard junk, except one guy got a Bolted Bushman. Upon completing the second mission, again mostly junk was distributed. Other players got the new sapper and a Dead Cone.. but not me who brought the damn ticket in the first place.
If anything, they need to restructure the prize winning side of it. It sucks to buy a supply ticket and have someone else (with no ticket) get all the good stuff. Although this is a team endeavor, this isn't any less annoying.
I've read that if you complete a full tour (all six missions) then you get a Strange Botkiller weapon. There is a normal one and a gold one of each of those, and I guess chance dictates which one you get. At least that prize seems guaranteed, perhaps without needing the supply ticket. You just need to go through hell first. :V

Sold the scattergun for a painted bill's. I've seen lot of people asking for 13+ keys for the weapons, but I ended up choosing a low-profit-for-sure business since I spent less than 3 keys for the tickets and got pratically triple of the amount. And I was afraid of the prices going down :V
On other note: renamed my YER to seed of non-identification.

Wow, lucky me
While playing some MvM, kid on the server asks if anyone has a Cleaner's Carbine. I told him I had one, and he offers me to trade for his (dirty) Tyrant's Helm

Wat.
The advanced missions look absolutely insane.
I take it though that the increased amount of bots means you get lots of money to upgrade yourself more than would be usually possible? I'm assuming that's the case since the achievements for upgrading your weapon or resistances to the fullest seem literally impossible in Normal mode so I'm assuming Advanced mode would be required for it, thus more moolah.
That still looks ridiculously hard though.
-
I like MvM, but I think it's bullshit how Ubered bots can arm the bomb :(
That was fun playing with you guys, btw. Any of you guys play at a time that works out for east coasters like me?

Quite a few of us, including all three of us server staff, are on east coast as well, so it shouldn't be too hard to arrange a match.

Lost at least one round this way. Spy-capping just got a lot more humiliating.

Haven't seen any spy capping yet, I just remember when we're on the wave with a several medics, we can't do shit as they ignore us. Perhaps it would have been a good idea to invest in Pyros...

Honestly, I feel Dead Ringers are amazing in this game mode because they are dumb as hell when you disguise (therefore no need for invisibility since disguising IS your cloak) and if you fail the stab and sap, just pull out the DR to soak up the damage, disguise, and decloak (they don't hear shit as well apparently)
-
Honestly, I feel Dead Ringers are amazing in this game mode
Yes. Very yes.
Especially effective with health regen, I'd add. Only problems are against the tanks, but the rest of the team can focus on those anyway.
Server #1 is no longer MvM, so those wanting to arrange a game will have to use #2 only.
-
A good friend and I have been tearing through the Mann Ups pretty well- he just finished his second tour and I'm halfway through my third. He's the one with the gold minigun, though... Which someone just bought off him for two buds... But he said he'd share, so no real Paru-ing here... Just a bit of shock...
The way that him and I can seem to make a group with four pubs and consistently win without too many snags makes me suspect a legitimately, pre-round organized team (without on-a-building 100m away heavies) wouldn't have much trouble with all of this. Wave 8/8 on the first Decoy map still scares me a bit, though...
Been buying into this event heavily... I hope people start trading their tickets for keys in better ratio soon... :V

The Big Earner is pretty great since you can get back in the action faster. Armor piercing is good for damage against giants, but attack speed also lets you get some more stabs in before you have to DR and re-disguise (which can also mean more medic picks).
Only problems are against the tanks, but the rest of the team can focus on those anyway.
Especially since you can murder large packs of robots or gimp them (especially giants) by taking out their medics. If you do that the rest of your team has much less to worry about other than the tank.
-
I believe it's myself to blame, but the Saharah Spy has made me basically forget how to properly hit-and-run,resulting in hilarious situations which I sap a giant and hope I will kill him in one go (and get brutally murdered.)
Maybe I should stop using the YER
-
YER is only good if your team doesn't kill all the weaklings right away AND does not have a pyro. They have much faster disguise than the kit, but the only problem are the giants. Just sap then at a spot where he'll get mowed down instead, you murder the little ones. Course, this is more effective with a stock knife, but after you get a backstab or two, bots tend to attack you until you disguise or DR.
Yer is for when you want to backstab bots and quickly redisguise. Any other use for it I dont see happening.
In other news...
An update to Team Fortress 2 has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart Team Fortress 2. The major changes include:
Fixed matchmaking sending players to out-of-date servers
Fixed the server browser showing an incorrect player count in MvM games
Fixed a crash that could occur on map change if another player was being healed by the dispenser or payload cart
Fixed a rare server crash when firing hitscan weapons
Fixed MvM intro video not playing on some Macs
Fixed the sound precache string table being nearly full in non-MvM games
-This was causing the "error writing string table baseline" and "failed reading message net_SetConVar" errors
Possible fix for FF2? Let's see how this will go.

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

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

-
For one try? And is it tradable?
The ticket does not get used up until a Mann Up mission has been completed.
And yes, they can be traded.
My only question is this: do you have to buy 6 tickets (or however many the badge requires) to finish a Tour of Duty?
-
If you have a ticket, you can keep playing Mann Up until you complete a mission. The ticket is redeemed once you win. And yes, you can trade them, but people seem to be asking for asinine prices for them (multiple keys, etc)
My only question is this: do you have to buy 6 tickets (or however many the badge requires) to finish a Tour of Duty?
Yeah, you will need 6 tickets to complete a Tour. The only catch is that you need to pay attention to which mission you are about to play. You can select a mission on Coal Town, but be thrown into a mission on Mannworks, you see. If you beat a mission that you have already completed before, you still lose the ticket.
-
I still want to know if you're more likely to get rare items in Mann Up outside of botkilling items.
Also, Lol spreadsheet drama (http://tf2spreadsheet.blogspot.ca/2012/08/integrity-of-spreadsheet.html)
-
If you beat a mission that you have already completed before, you still lose the ticket.
No, if you're using a Tour of Duty ticket it will only be consumed upon completing a mission that you haven't cleared.
Squad Surplus Vouchers are always used when completing a mission since everyone gets extra drops.
-
FFFFF goddamn.
Does Mann Up really increase your chance of getting rare items?
I don't think the chance of getting normal rare items is any higher than usual, but MvM update items do drop a lot if you use vouchers.
-

-
No, if you're using a Tour of Duty ticket it will only be consumed upon completing a mission that you haven't cleared.
Then does that mean that you only have one shot at getting a Botkiller weapon? Or does your seventh ticket give you unlimited Mann Ups after completing the Tour?
-
Then does that mean that you only have one shot at getting a Botkiller weapon? Or does your seventh ticket give you unlimited Mann Ups after completing the Tour?
It takes one ticket to complete a mission. There are six missions in a Tour of Duty, and upon completing a Tour of Duty you get a botkiller weapon, your badge ranks up, and all of the missions are reset so you can clear them again.
You then have to buy more tickets if you want to clear the missions again and get another botkiller weapon. Total cost to get a botkiller weapon: $5.94.
-
...and all of the missions are reset so you can clear them again.
and that was the fact that I was seeking. Thanks

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

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

F2P can trade, I think only if invited though.

F2Ps can indeed engage in a trade, however, TF2 items remain untradable, meaning they can only accept premium items and trade said premium items.
Truth is, I begged, when I got a few weapons and Scorched Crates (from people who have a ton of them), and I resell them to buyers, and as I slowly gain more money, I can make bigger investments and earn more, I dealt with tools, popular hats/miscs (Familiar Fez, Last Breath, Team Captain...etc) and basically trade 24/7 a day.

Half way through my first tour. Just got this (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Robot_Running_Man).
We also discovered a good way to get through this, or at least the endurance mission. 5 Heavies, one Engie. Dispenser placed in a well protected spot near all the heavies at a bottleneck. The sentry placed somewhere inconvienient for sentry busters.

Nice finds, you guys that have finished Tours of Duty. If you want to continue Manning Up, look me up sometime. I'm always willing to go kill some robots :3
The sentry placed somewhere inconvienient for sentry busters.
Yeah, we had an Engie on that particular mission that did just that. There is a broken stairway and ledge on the front side of one of the buildings in which he camped with his sentry. The busters would spawn, and instantly blow up before jumping down onto the playing field. :V He held his own up there rather well, but the Rapid Fire Soldier giants completely wrecked him..

Well, Botkiller weapons aren't exactly hard to get so long as you're playing with a group of people that understand how MvM works. And they can probably trade those three keys for more tickets to get another chance at one they want.
I would trade almost every botkiller weapon away for the normal strange equivalent if I didn't already have one for the classes I care about (heavy is boring). The only one I think looks kinda cool is the gold botkiller wrench.

Oh yeah, definitely. It was just that I've been looking for a s scatter for a little while and I figured why not pay a bit more for the botkiller variant. I'm not huge on Mann Up mode so I wasn't looking to go through the tours and earn one myself.

I still haven't played a single round of MvM, let alone Mann Up mode.
And Valve kinda pissed me off by not only requiring tickets for Mann Up mode, but friends/server regulars were (and to some extent, are) doing lots of Mann Up missions.

Might be serverside plugin (I frequent a server that already has a plugin letting you become a robot or even sentry buster), but is more likely just one of those random graphics bugs that pops up (like hourai's).
Oh right and mandatory post about new update (one new crate only containing the robro according to the wiki :V).
-
I wonder how randomizer on MvM would work...
-
There are plugins for letting RED use robot skins, but it's probably a glitch in the case of Hourai's (as that is presumably on our server).
TF2 servers are being updated, please watch warmly....
I wonder how randomizer on MvM would work...
I thought the same, and it'll probably run horribly. Also know that one cannot upgrade weapons for different classes (tried with Heavy and Black Rose).

So I saw this idea and think this guy may be onto something
When I first saw the new loadout slot for the Sapper, I was hoping for some sort of converter device - one that changes the team of the sapped building.

They both have it now.
Counterarguments: Mini-sentries. Air blast. Pomson pre-nerf.
Mini sentries are easy to deal with. Especially with a homewrecker Pyro.
If you're airblast spammed it's your fault for letting a pyro get close to you (if he ambushed you, it's your fault for not checking your flank)
Pomson was nerfed. So. uh. yeah.
The thing with a sapper that changes the building's team would be too strong. It would also be the much better option to the stock sapper. I mean think about it. A sentry could do so much damage to the other team if it changed teams. and the only way to fix it, is to destroy the sentry. There would be absolutely no reason to use the stock sapper over this new sapper.
And it would be pretty easy to grief with it.
also new items are really awesome. but if you ask me Engie should have gotten a puppy instead of a kitten. he seems like more of a dog person.

I always played around with the idea of a super slow sapper that builds up a charge as it saps; breaking it causes explosive reaction. Dunno how the math would work out, but it would probably have 3 or 4 seconds before it can actually start exploding.

Bought myself a Card Hat so
I'm selling my old Cosa Nostra for 1.66. I'm also needing to buy a can of deep commitment to purple paint to use on the new hat.
On the subject of guns that arn't fun to fight; new crate has a strange version of the Scout herpderp gun. Only issue I have with minis is that they turn faster which means they were pretty much designed for killing scouts.

Now you're raffling off all of the Crate 40 goodies? My God, you're too generous. Tell me, how do you obtain these items and why do you wish to give these expensive things away? Is there any incentive for doing this whatsoever?!
It's mostly luck. If you go to random servers you can find great offers by just letting people know you're interested on trading, like for example I got an uncraftable lvl 69 Champ Stamp for a rec because I was lucky enough to get in a server where someone was doing mass hat crafting with metal. (I later sold it for about 3 keys)
I bought all my salvaged crates for less than 5 keys, except for the one I raffled with the stranges as with was a last minute decision.
As for incentives, I have no real reason to trade anymore, but if I can use my trading skills to make someone happy, I'll use them.
Don't tell me that one day you plan on raffling off Unusual hats... :V
I plan to raffle an unusual that's worth at least 5 buds soon. I believe an 8 bud+ unusual is a realistic goal.

This morning I set out thinking that the stock pyro loadout doesn't get enough love. Took less then 10 minutes of playing for me to remember why :V
This led to me actually playing the game for once, rather then sitting around in nearly empty servers. I'm painfully rusty at everything but dodging as a scout and jumping as a solly, but playing some good old standard tf2 was refreshing.

There's just not a whole lot of reason to use the stock flamethrowers or melee, the others are often times just straight upgrades.

There's just not a whole lot of reason to use the stock flamethrowers or melee, the others are often times just straight upgrades.
I use the stock strange because the degreaser's like 2 keys now. Also, the longer afterburn has gotten me plenty of kills. The fireaxe is pretty bad though, the pyro is already a close-combat class. Hell even the Third Degree is better because of the taunt sfx (the medigun-beam thing is basically useless).
As far as the stock shotgun goes, it's an all-purpose weapon at close and mid-range. Especially in those derpy pyro v. pyro fights.
-
There's no reason to use stock Pyro and Medic melee unless that's the only thing you have (not even the Strange variants unless bragging rights are involved).
Some people here say the Third Degree works scarily well in MVM against those Uber Medics. Not quite as effective in vanilla but still a straight upgrade.
Stock flamer is at least workable in certain situations and playing styles (no I don't mean W+M1 since they Frontburner or Phlog most of the time anyway).
-

I've seen pyros W+M1 with the Degreaser. I have no words for them.
-
I like the default flamethrower occasionally. Yes, my main one is the Degreaser, but I like that extra fire damage on my SF Flamer every now and then. It's just tough to go back to normal weapon switching speed after you get used to the Degreaser's rapid switch. But I still like it better than the Backburner or the Phlog. The default Fire Axe is.... bleh. Even with the stock flamer, the Axtinguisher can still shine properly.. just slightly slower. I never really had high expectations for the Third Degree, but I've seen it decimate Medic clusters on MvM, so I'll give it props there. :V
-
I've seen pyros W+M1 with the Degreaser. I have no words for them.
So? Sometimes I decide to W+M1 with the Degreaser. And it works just as well as the old flamethrower before the latter got that pitiful 10% buff.

Anybody want a Scouts Killed part? I have one I can let go for a refined or so.

Because I'm bored and had nothing to do I decided to convert some tf2 prices to scrap.
1 bud is 576 scrap.
A Moon Flamenco (only one in TF2 existence; buyout is at 30 buds) goes for 17280 scrap.
A Community Lugermorph (if I remember correctly, Alpha said it was being sold at 40 buds+) goes for 23040 scrap.
I am bored.

So this past meet made it obvious (despite the lack of activity) that I need to get back to sniping. Lots of stupid misses.
Haven't visited No Heroes Orange X3 in FOREVER, more than two months IIRC. I should also finally buy myself a decent mouse and get on some dedicated sniper servers.
Not only that, I need to familiarize myself with the new additions and updates that occurred over the time I was absent - I just now got up to speed with MvM, but otherwise, I have little to no idea about what else has happened.
(http://i45.tinypic.com/15pmjir.png)
Dat KPM.
This is where I hope to be eventually.
On another note, MvM is a fun gamemode. Interestingly, I think Heavy might be my main class for this mode, unless I really focus and get better at Sniper. Hopefully, my workload won't force me to disappear from Steam again.

-
Can anyone tell me about the new MvM missions? Have mostly been distracted playing other games and would like to know what to expect out of the new missions :p
Sure. Two new Tours were added: 1 Intermediate and 1 Expert. Intermediate is a little easier than the old Tour (Advanced) but it does have several thick points. Not as many giants to contend with, but they make it up with Tanks. I completed the entire Tour, and I can tell you that there are several times in which you have to fight Giant Scouts and Tanks simultaneously.
Expert Tour is.... much much harder. They don't seem to have too many more robots in their wave setup, but the spawning is relentless. During a wave, you hardly get time to breathe, let alone stop fighting to go buy stuff. I have yet to clear an entire mission (only 3 in this set), but I highly recommend getting a team of people that know what the hell they are doing. Random pubs and noobs are NOT going to cut it. Bots are more powerful in both damage output and AI functionality and there are some pretty hard bot variations. Steel Gauntlet Heavies with auto-regen AND Uber Medics in tow.. WM1 Pyro Bots..(flamethrower always on. Always) Demoknight swarms with permanent Kritz on their swords... yeah.
I'm pretty much going to RAEG through the Expert tour and then begin thinking about retiring from MvM. I don't need 8 versions of the same bloody stock weapons for each class. :V
-
Strafe, if you ever find some other people who also want to take a crack at Expert missions, I shall gladly blow some heads for you.

Due to how amish I am with basically any kind of scripting, I gotta ask for more clarification now.
I have these scripts that I want to use for all classes (key bindings and the null movement script etc.) but I don't know how or where to bloody put them.
Do I copy and paste each script into the class config files? Or does it have to do with this mystical autoexec file that I have no idea how to use properly?
-
So guys

Do I copy and paste each script into the class config files? Or does it have to do with this mystical autoexec file that I have no idea how to use properly?
A little bit of both, really. Scripts that are universal (read: not dependent on a specific class) should be put into the autoexec.cfg file. By default, this file does not exist, so you will have to create a file in Notepad and name it "autoexec.cfg" and place it in the proper folder. If you want to use a script that benefits every class in the same way (like a jump/crouch bind) or use something that will modify some of your gameplay (like Chris' FPS scripts) then they belong in autoexec. All binds placed in here will affect all classes, no matter what.
The individual class files are for specializing your binds for each class on their own. However, there's a slight catch to that one. Let's say that you want to bind the F key to be multi-purpose, depending on which class you're playing. For example, you could bind "last disguise used" as Spy to that key in the Spy.cfg, and a rocket jumping sequence (+jump, +crouch, +fire) as Soldier in the Soldier.cfg.. Both overloaded to the same F key. When you pick Spy, the config is loaded that way, and Soldier the other way. You still need to tell the other class-specific config files to do something with the F key whenever you're playing as one of the other classes, otherwise your results when pressing that key will vary. (ie, you'll either do nothing since no other class uses disguises or jump/crouch/fire at the same time as someone that can't rocket jump, you see.) In that case, either bind F to something that will benefit that class or place "unbind F" in every other class config file.
Stabbystabby has a peculiar script that is designed to auto-reload the Ambassador, and turns it invisible once you fire the gun. (so the pesky reload isn't always in your face.) Now, you still would have to do counter-binds in the other class config files, otherwise your primary weapon will still turn invisible when you play other classes. The process is tedious, but worth it once you get each class to operate how you want.
You can modify all 10 of the config files while the game is open, but the changes won't be applied until you either type "reload autoexec.cfg" in the console or reload the entire game. Reloading autoexec will automatically refresh the class config files and their bind changes. Lots of tweaking and trial and error, but you still get a lot of flexibility in your bind customization if you put in the time to iron out the wrinkles.
Sorry if this description is confusing. Good luck.

Considering the contents of the ripped corner, it definitely seems like MVM stuff so that could be likely...interesting.

Day one is over and it's been pretty fun (except the whole 'things breaking' part). Merasmus is pretty fun the first few fights, but gets kinda stale after a certain point. Hope the MvM map is good though (I've heard it's really really hard at least, and that's promising at least).

I was around too. That guy was a jerk. :\
I was a jerk or do you mean "that guy?" (If I was a jerk, sorry :derp:)
And when it comes to the peaceful Merasmus fights, I typically find myself just going scout or spy so I can damage Merasmus and hunt down people being pricks. While snipers might do decent damage, the derp scoots and W+M1's that are PvP seem to dive straight for you. :<

On that note, I cracked open a few Eerie Crates and got two sets of Haunted "fairy wings" for Heavy. I'll offer the spare set to anyone that is interested. I'm not picky about the price.

Buying Haunted Sniper Soul, selling Voodoo-Cursed Pyro, Spy, and Medic Souls.

And damn, the Halloween Lakeside map really slows down my laptop. I really need to get my new computer built already.
As for sniping, I'm starting to pick it back up again in vanilla TF2. Playing VSH/FF2 has done wonders for my no-scoping and evasion skills, but these are obviously not always applicable to vanilla gameplay, particularly when battling pro snipers, hehe.
Unfortunately, finding a good place (i.e. a server with large, long-range open maps) to really hone my sniping skills is quite difficult outside of dedicated sniper servers, where I would probably get raped before I even have a chance to spot the enemy.

I have an extra Engi soul, willing to trade for Medic/Pyro soul.

Today I witnessed a miracle; a pubbie server actually beating Merasmus not just once, but multiple times (It helped that they were votekicking the people that were shanking players during the actual fight.)
So I wound up with a spare Medic Soul so far, figure I might as well trade it off for something; also have a Sniper Soul available. Willing to trade for a Pyro Soul or whatever metal you're willing to part with.

I'm trading two souls, a sniper and a heavy soul for another soul I do not have.
-
Managed to beat that nightmare MvM map on my second playthrough of it. Hope they keep it up year round, that's a fun one (also hope they make other challenging and interesting maps like that for other events).
As for trade fortress talk, I have two spare engineer souls, a sniper soul, and a demoman soul that I'll give to any of you (yup, free). Also looking to sell a Haunted Zipperface for a ref, if any of you are interested.
Only have an engineer soul left now, still free to any of you.
-
I got quite the bounty after playing on a Halloween server yesterday. My Merasmus curse is still plaguing me, but I managed to get a lot of goodies in the meantime. I'm looking for a Pyro soul and a Heavy soul to complete my collection. I can offer up my spare souls to anyone who is interested: Demo, Spy, 2 Medics (1 Haunted, 1 not), 1 Haunted Fairy Wings, and 1 Coffin Kit.
All of my stuff that is available to trade is on Page 2 of my backpack for your perusing pleasure. (It's getting to the point where there's too much crap to list) :V
-
So I got a Voodoo-cursed Sniper Soul. Willing to trade it for the Scout soul :V
-
@Gpop: Have Scout soul (normal), can trade.
@Strafe: Going by your last post, I assume we do not need to trade the H. Medic soul anymore?
-

I'm alright with that.

Okay then. I can trade now (or within about 15 minutes or so before heading off), so we don't forget about it later on. :V

Could you be so kind to spare me a Sniper Soul?
-
@Strafe: Going by your last post, I assume we do not need to trade the H. Medic soul anymore?
Correct. Once I managed to obtain one, two more followed. That and... uh... I kinda used my metal with other trades.. :V
That crap spends way too quickly at times.
-
Matador stabs are hard. On that note, any spy souls around?
-

I can trade you a normal spy soul.

Looking around for a strange amby, btw. Got its worth in metal, amongst other things.

So I feel I'm done with the Halloween event. It was certainly fun while it was around.
My total haul:
Heavy Soul
Medic Soul (1 regular, 1 Haunted)
Pyro Soul
Legend of Bugfoot
2 Sniper Souls
Grand Duchess Fairy Wings (1 regular, 1 Haunted)
Haunted Dead Little Buddy
Bombomnomicon
Monoculus
Headless Horsemann's Head
Skull Island Topper (Lv1)

Earlier today equiping the skullbat removed my melee weapon. This bug going on for anyone else (might've just been the server not having holiday stuff anymore, but...)?

I had a glitch similar to that last night. I put a spell on the Holiday Punch, which I had equipped, and then for some reason, the game thought I had no melee. Switching out my HP to another melee then back seemed to solve it. I don't have the Bat Outta Hell myself so I wouldn't be able to test anything.
And as for what I was able to get this year, pretty much everything. I got all of the masks (Saxton Hale Mask get!) and every soul, including Haunted Heavy and Sniper. Took too darn long to get that Scout soul though. :V I still have some spares if anyone wants any. (spare Engie, Spy, Medic and Sniper souls, not haunted, and a Sniper mask)

So you remember when people complain about unfair hitboxes for backstabs? (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=107735619)
More footage. (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=107736252)
Most melee weapons wouldn't even register a hit at those angles, and none of the other guns would. (disregard the Huo-Long Heater)
EDIT: I must add that we were both standing still for several seconds before taking the screenshots. This is the actual backstab range.
-
I was going to say something about client vs server, but your ping is pretty good so no clue there.
-
Had some fun sniping yesterday after finding a nice place to practice. Raped kids, some got pissed off, had a couple of them accuse me of aimbotting, lol.
Guess I might be ready to go back to No Heroes Orange X3 (well, hopefully - I haven't had any other real practice and yesterday was one of those rare lucid moments, so I'm still not sure how well I would do).

I have 2 Demo Masks, a Pyro Mask, a Soldier Mask, 2 Steel Pipes, and a Scout Soul. All of which I'll give away for nothing.
I also have 2 Haunted Spooky Sleeves up for trade.

Played a bit of pub MVM on Decoy as Scoot, testing the Scatter-Milk-Fan loadout. Extremely effective I must say.
Had a nice no-miss run of Normal and almost had it for Intermediate too - but alas turned out we missed 45 somehow on the last wave. But it was still great fun!
-
The last wave of money generally never matters as much unless you're trying to go for a perfect score.
I just wish I wasn't so poor that I don't even play Mann Up
-
I suckered myself into buying some mann up tickets so i could trade for some stranges :V
I just only have 3, and nottt sure I want to try pub expert.

Looks damn fun - the Botkiller weps seem quite excessive IMO but at least they fetch a good price when traded. :V

Anyone know what's up with some items still carrying the halloween spells on them? I've got some Builder's Blueprints with "Chromatic corruption" still swagging it up, and I've also seen at least one weapon carrying exorcism on it.
Note; It still shows on the in game item and still has the shifting effect regardless of it not being halloween/moon.
EDIT: Valve released a fix that removed the effects from the items today... orz

/me loads up TF2 to quickly craft scrap
Give thanks to your fellow TF2 community members with extra items coming from Secret Saxton and Pile O' Gifts this weekend.
Valve's really pushing us to level up our Spirits of Giving items. :V
Added to the Mann Co. Store is the Upgrade to Premium Gift which will upgrade free accounts to premium on use.
:teaspit: :teaspit: :teaspit:
It's about time this kind of item showed up - and great, it's US$4.99 for one. :|
So I guess it's only useful for those not wanting to give their own card information online, and can't find a box copy of TF2 or Orange Box for cheaper.
I bet that compared to BP Expanders (which go for the same price, but currently are 20% off for US$3.99) they will be in higher demand, probably fetching 3.5+ keys easily.
We've also doubled the maximum backpack size from 1000 to 2000 slots (40 pages).
Great, now we can store a freaking warehouse of crates! :getdown:
-
Good folks of MoTK, the next time you are considering buying keys, come to the Darkninja's place please, he will pay 3 keys for your Upgrade to Premium Gift.
Please give generously~
-
Define irony:
Getting a Crate 40 randomly dropped to you several months after you paid for each individual weapon therein and just days after you decide not to collect Stranges so feverishly anymore. :V
As per Shady's suggestion, I guess I'll just hold onto it until it no longer drops. I might get an Earbuds or something for it in the future. Who knows.
-
I plan on opening mine one day, and pray that a Sapper comes out. I'll probably get the Holiday Punch or something instead. :V
-
Oh god
So E-mouse and I were screwing around in a 16-man MvM server, which meant that if there were more than 6 players the bots get their health raised
We decided to see how effective the uber-train would work
Holy crap it was hilarious. Giants are great because they're slow and easy to hit, so it's free 25% uber every time you hit them. Scouts are difficult though since they move around a lot, but on waves with giants, oh god it was hilarious.
totally doing this in our next meet.
-
We can do a 10-player version of this. Would be glad to try this as well as Highlander (and one spare) MVM. :V
I think the health boost is mostly since IIRC the game allocates 22 player slots for bots - having more than 10 players will affect bot spawning. Therefore to make up for lesser firepower something (presumably the game, modified population files, or plugins) buffed the rest of the bots.
Also will add more MVM and custom maps to the rotation.
-
Will it be possible to make it where Blu and Red are together on the red team? like how it went in the trailer.
-

Most likely not as it was programmed that the robots were in Blu and you're in Red.
-

I don't think it'd be too hard to reverse (unless it were spawning you up by the carriers and them down in the upgrade shacks). As for actual players to be Red/Blu/whatever while making bots grey, a plugin could possibly do it. None exist yet though.

Yeah I assumed he meant both Red/Blu players together fighting bots, not just all Red or all Blu. A plugin is more likely to do so (to put em in Gray, Green, rainbow, whatever) but the problem is both Red and Blu also attacking each other, which will require another plugin to avoid ONLY Red/Blu teams attacking each other, while still being able to attack Gray.
-
Hm, fairly large (~153MB) update today...
Updated to support Big Picture mode
Oh hey, we can now Trade Fortress with controllers even more effectively than before! XD
EDIT: Though the controller support is still not as mature as, say, CS:GO :V
-

No, I mean like, some classes use the blu skins while some other uses the red skin.
Just disable friendly fire altogether, or add it to make the game more challenging if the bots won't be applied to friendly fire (assuming that's possible in the first place!)
-
The way you put it is most likely impossible. There's only two fighting teams programmed into the game - with those taken by human players, you want the bots to be in spec? :P
However, what is theoretically possible is to have several RED members switch their skins to the BLU ones via some plugin. Unlikely to happen though since that breaks vanilla mode.
-
Yeah, I remember seeing a video before where they had some classes use blu skins while others used red, just to match the trailer. I forget what the bots looked like. I believe it was just a simple image name switch or something.
-
If anything, I would assume you can have a plugin command where you can switch skin to Blu just as if you want to switch to the robot skin. Only the skin will change, but the game is still programmed with you on the "Red" team
-
Anyone want to make some predictions as to what will be added come this winter season? Weapons, unusuals, festive gunboats (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=112083058&searchtext=festive)?
-
Speculation GO!
- Festive Botkiller weps and a North Pole-based MVM map (Spy-Cicles everywhere~)
- Ol' Nick's Spirit as a Merasmus reskin for the holiday, or even as a new boss entirely. Complete with new lines!
- Another year of freebies on Christmas - and I bet it'll be Tours of Duty for some reason
- A surge in popularity of the All-Father and Kringle Collection
- Another break in core plugins
- 500+ new bugs in the engine
- No nerfs to OP minis, or buffs to currently useless weps (Winger, FB)
- More Dr. Grordbort items
There's more of course. :V
-
I still think that they're planning on releasing a Dr.Grordbort pack at some point, with Strange variants of all of the energy weapons for all classes. I think Valve will make the Crate 50 thing into something big, and that's the only thing that comes to mind.
However, they will probably be doing the Festives again. Either re-releasing last year's set, or coming out with an entirely new set of Strange Festives designed to piss me off. :V (I spent the better part of this last year obtaining (almost) all of the Stranges, and the SFs weren't exactly cheap when I acquired them. If they bring back the old set, then my collection loses value. If they do a new wave of SFs, like those Gunboats, then I quit my collecting altogether. Contrary to popular belief, I liked having money. :derp:)

Strange Phlogistinator or Pomson 6k, all of my money.

Trade Fortress, meet the Steam Community Market beta! (http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=9567) Now supporting a market where anyone can buy or sell things for real Steam Wallet currency. The beta is TF2-only and is limited to consumable items.
Prices so far seem to be valued about right...but still, seeing what basically amounts to the Diablo 3 auction house is just preposterous.
EDIT: Forgot to note that since US Thanksgiving, cosmetic items bought from the store no longer have the dirty marker, meaning they can now be crafted however. Plus the prices for them seem to have increased, at least according to Kona's vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-mhKxYTDT8) on this.

Thanks for showing me that, I wouldn't have noticed it.
Put some keys to sell some cents below the average price and they were sold in less than 2 minutes :V

I can buy all of them for 5 in this place.

Oh hey, festive axetinguisher, buff banner, fish, ambassador, frontier justice, ubersaw, and hunstman in one of the pics. So looks like last years festives probably arn't coming back out :p
Also three new weapons, including a grenade launcher and a medigun... I'm sufficiently hyped.

New Weapons:
The Rescue Ranger
Level 1-100 Shotgun
Alt-Fire: Use metal to pick up buildings from long range
Fires a special bolt that can repair friendly buildings
-34% clip size
-50% max primary ammo on wearer
Self mark for death on building pick up
The Loose Cannon
Level 10 Grenade Launcher
Cannonballs have a fuse time of 2 seconds; fuses can be primed to explode earlier by holding down the fire key.
Cannonballs push players back on impact
Cannonballs do not explode on impact
-50% damage on contact with surfaces
The Vaccinator
Level 8 Medi Gun Prototype
Special-Attack:Cycle through resist types.
While healing, prvides you and your target with constant 10% resistance to the selected damage type.
+50% ?bercharge rate
-66% Overheal build rate
?bercharge provides 75% resistance to a selected damage type.
You are healed for 25% of the matched incoming damage on your heal target.
Of these, I think the Engineer shotgun and the Medi Gun are quite strong.
-
Weps sound interesting to try out.
-
Does the cannon do more damage on impact, or only push on impact?
The new weapons offer new play styles and plans. Now engineers can be turtles from farther ranges from their sentry.
Also how does the Medi-gun work? What does it mean by 'selected' type? And it looks like a strong pushing support with the uber rate!
-

Your Ubercharge is now broken into 4 pieces, each activatable independent of each other. There are 3 damage types to choose from: Bullet, Explosive, Fire. When you activate a charge, you get 75% damage resist and 25% incoming damage as heal of the currently active type.
Also selling Festive Buff Banner and Festive Ubersaw

How would you select which uber you want to use, though?
-
I think there's a way to cycle through each type of uber. Once you have an uber activated though, you can't switch until the uber is finished.
-
How would you select which uber you want to use, though?
MOUSE3 by default. The console command would be +attack3 (if you want to rebind it).
-
Actually I was thinking
What happens if you use both the Rescue Ranger AND the Eureka Effect? Can you still pick up your buildings?
-

I wouldn't see why you wouldn't be able to. (besides some strange glitch) So now the Eureka Effect is actually useful. :V
On the note of glitches, there seems to be one annoying one where a medigun's beam becomes invisible after a second. Probably an issue with DX8 I guess.

I would love this glitch to happen, since that medibeam slows my game.

So hilariously useless.
Unless you get a 2 second airtime pill that blows up in someone's face, you're sending out easily evaded rollers that deal 50% damage...
What use does this possibly have over the stock?
We finally get a Demoman weapon and it's even more of a downgrade than the L+L
-
I tried the Rescue Ranger and Vaccinator a bit last night, I didn't have any spare L&Ls to craft a Loose Cannon.
Regarding the Rescue Ranger (bonus points for alliteration :V), opinions on the server I was on varied a bit. Personally, I thought it was very useful, but not overpowered. The shotgun has a 4/16 clip, which is pretty small. The main knock on it was that the shots can't remove sappers, which is the main threat to an Engineer's buildings. The ability to remote pickup and repair at range were both good for saving buildings on the move. The self mark of death on pickup wasn't much of a hindrance.
For the Vaccinator, most people liked it. The 10% damage resist on selected damage type while healing is definitely the best part, but the Uber effect pales compared to the regular Ubercharge or Kritz. I had to mind the duration of each section of charge carefully, as having 4 pieces played a bit different than having 1 longer charge.
-
The Loose Cannon loses power once it hits a surface. Someone in a server I was in yesterday thought it'd be a good idea to prime it for a second, then launch it so it explodes while still airborne in someone's face so it will still deal good damage.
-
The idea is to charge it so that it not only does impact damage, but explosion damage immediately after for about *2 damage in total.
-
Trade offer moved there (http://www.reddit.com/r/tf2trade/comments/159doj/)

The knockback is also pretty strong (much better than the Scorch Shot). It also gives demoknights a reliable grenade jump from overcharging it like the Beggar's Bazooka, which can lead to some funny jump + charge shenanigans.
Besides, we have pirate hats, parrots, and peg legs. You know good and damned well we've been needing a cannon.

Man the Winter Wonderland Wrap looks amazing, I'll probably try to go for that.
Finally got 2 naughty crates, I'll probably open em soon though :V

I've got 3 naughty crates myself so far (no nice ones yet but I don't care about those :V) so maybe I'll get something good there, if I decide to open them.

So the Strange Festive Ambassador price has fallen down to a more reasonable 6-8 keys.
Still looking to trade mine.
I could do this thing where you don't pay the whole price but then I bug you until you finish paying (8 keys)
That or one time 6 keys for anyone from MotK. 7 keys outside MotK.

I also managed to uncrate a strange festive Axtinquisher (20 crates :ohdear:), won't make a mistake like I did with last year's sf Minigun and sell it early.
-
Anyone want some naughty crates before they expire? I've got 6, but I plan on opening at most two of them, so I've got 4 crates to get rid of before they vanish.
Not really sure on prices for them, if they even really require any.
EDIT: You know, it's funny that I never got any nice crates this time. Got some last year however.
-
I'll be glad to take em if it's free :V
-
I'll be glad to take em if it's free :V
Well apparently the price for them is a rec each. I suppose a good deal would be a ref for all 4. (basically the last one is free just cause more than a ref for crates is kinda too much IMO) I might be willing to just give them away for free (or maybe a few scrap, I don't really care)
EDIT: Hey, finally dropped my first nice crate. Took long enough. (I don't care about those though :V)

Congrats bro. It really feels like an accomplishment beating a map like that, it's still a fun map despite how many consider it easy.

Standard fps average to me is 150-250.
I have a good computer, that's all.

Alright so let's see, from the whole festive crates I got
Strange Festive Axetinguisher
Strange Festive Holy Mackerel
Cut Throat Concierge
And a WHOLE load of normal festive weapons
Gonna keep the festive weapons around a bit until the prices go up a bit (when they start becoming worth a key or two, even though I might have to wait a whole year for that :V)
-
You should totally trade me that s. f. axe for a s. f. ambassador. :V
-
I managed to get an SF Grenade Launcher (through trading), but all 3 crates I tried yielded normal festive weapons, and trading has left me with no keys. So now I get to wait till these normal festives are worth anything I guess. :V
-
Got a F. Axtinguisher (traded to Yukarin), F. Mackerel (from Alpha as he unboxed a second), and F. Banner. Lousy, but not big surprise and I don't really mind all that much.
Could have unboxed a few more I had, but I was too busy to do so. :V
A class loadout and map guide for Expert MVM missions. (http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/01/05/team-fortress-2-guide-how-to-tackle-mann-vs-machines-expert-mode/) Also read the comments for an alternate Spy method that works very well too.

Agreeing with the second post on sniper; Hitman's is really the best rifle for it so long as you're even vaguely competent with headshots on straight line moving targets. Headshot a big-bot with one and you'll clear anyone around him if you have explosive, and focus just means hurt time repeatedly.
-
Do we have a Steam group? I've had the worst experience with MVM pubbies, so.
-
There is the Shrinemaiden group (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/shrinemaiden), but for server organisation and group meeting purposes we use each others' Friends lists instead.

Old hats will now be more valuable because ★★★★LIMITED ★★★★ ITEMS★★★★

Read about this, and...wow, this is quite ridiculous. Festives and stuff make some sense, but these? Preposterous.
But for now I say "grab 'em while you can, lads!" with the silly Killing Floor voice. :V

There's already over 50k of these hats, and you can still unbox them from old crates. I really doubt they'll hold as being very high, but you can bet a lot of people will try using it as a selling point (since they're now technically promo). The unusual market with them is also probably going to turn into a field day, but that's not going to matter to most of us. Wonder what other items they'll be doing this with in future... (Force-a-natyres no longer drop! 1 budz 4 my vntgae!!! Qck sll!) :V

But I like my fedora!
-
Vintage Soldier's Stash, all of your moneys. :V
-
Now I know why my old dirty football helmet smelled so bad... and had a rather nasty bite on it. D:
-
Man that sucks, but besides the afro, none of the hats are really hats I want.
-
I owned the Stash, Fro, Helmet and Fedora all at one point. Traded them away a while ago. Welp.
I just wish they were discontinuing the Engineer's Cap instead to bump up the value of my Unusual one. I want a Ghosts Demo Unusual. :V
-
The only one that will really spike on the unusual market is the Soldier's Stash, and possibly the Fedora/Batter's. The unusual market really isn't driven by number of hats - there's some like the Eerie Fire Prancer's Pride that only have 2 in existence, yet are worth about as much as a decen hat with an effect that's considered to be lower value. The Stash is popular because it shows off more of the effect, as well as the fact that it's a Soldier unusual. The other two are considered decent hats/have lots of room for the effect.
-
Interesting perspective on that.
Have a clean Fedora, Batter's Helm, and Mining Light as well as dirty Football Helm. I might go and get the others to finish off that group.
...oh my, we're past 1000 posts eh? I reckon it's locking time.
EDIT: Onwards to the next iteration of TF2 thread! (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,14098.new.html)
