POWERS OF TWO ARE AWESOMEWhere have I seen this before...
REPENT
Where have I seen this before...Well I totally did not notice that. Huh.
hint: <--
Technically I was hoping this thread to be Team Fortress 256, since it went from 2 to 4 to 16 IIRC, but whatever. :VIt went to 8 first, actually. And the only Crossbow I have is a) Vintage, and b) equipped, so nope. >:(
Also, I do like me them Mantreads. You sure you don't have a spare crossbow though, Shazam?
Here's my backpack. Take a look if you want anything besides the Mantreads. (http://www.tf2items.com/id/theshim)Are you collecting sandwiches and gunslingers? :P

EDIT: oh derp derp derp I do have a spare crossbow, tossing that on
Holy schnitzels that's a ton o' dupes.I'd like to hold on to Nessie's as I just got one, but I'll trade the other three!
If ya don't mind, can I have the a Nessie Nine Iron, Disciplinary Action, Gunboats and Flare Gun for four duelies?
I'd like to hold on to Nessie's as I just got one, but I'll trade the other three!Okay, change the Nessie to a normal Direct Hit then. How's that?
I'm probably going to do a scrapping run after these trades again. I tend to scrap everything that I have more than one of and that is non-vintage or above.
Okay, change the Nessie to a normal Direct Hit then. How's that?Sounds good. Add me on Steam (theshim, as always) and hit me up later.
Backpack. (http://www.tf2items.com/id/apr0396)In that case, I'll give ya a Reclaimed each for those Nametags I see in your backpack. And I doubt you'll do it, but if I could get that Napper's Respite for my Dead Cone and maybe something else tossed on on the side on my part...
Feel free to look around. As for trades, I'll only trade items which I have duplicates of, or those I find little use for (paint, crates, tags, dueling games).
Also my loadout's more oriented towards VSH play, so....
Deal with the name tags. As for the Napper's Respite, I don't find hats that useful anyway (they're just things I randomly find, or, much less commonly, craft after getting all the craftable weapons) so instead of trading it for a Dead Cone I'll accept duplicate / unneeded weapons (3-4 is a good number).I'd take that in a heartbeat, and I don't care about hats at all. But I didn't offer the deal, so I'll see what Exuro has to say first.

I should be on around 8-ish too, give or take a couple of minutes.
I'll try to get on tonight (~8PM EST) for that.
I got a Bison drop yesterday, I can throw that your way later.Cool, add me on steam and let me know what you wanted for it later.
That's cool, but I was just thinking...why is there no gordo stickybomb model?gordo?
gordo?gordo (http://kirby.wikia.com/wiki/Gordo)
Cool, add me on steam and let me know what you wanted for it later.I'll have to toss it your way tomorrow night. I guess I'd take the key, if you and your friend are okay with that?

Playing mind games with Engineers is a lot of fun, too - the ones who hang back on the CP maps and try to build up their stuff before bringing it to the front lines.What, like this? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2XWml3mlo)
What, like this? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2XWml3mlo)
Why didn't you link this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu5pOPumYmI)?That's a good point. It's a SupaGoGoMan video and something I do ALL THE TIME. It's even better on valve servers, since no one seems to know what the hell a C&D is, and also because no one actually realizes that you're there, since no one can see you move, in the dawkness. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz-DqKaYF3c)
If this means I can play TF2, get hats, and then use these hats to buy games I'm going to flip the fuck out. But I'm pretty sure it doesn't, and that picture involving L4D is just really misleading.Indeed.
I have a spare Jag, actually. I'll swap it and a crate for the Strange Flamethrower, if you want.Sounds good.
Also, F2P Pyros are shit. "hurrdurr never use my shotgun because it is worthless hurrhurr":ohdear: I never use my shotgun either
Also, F2P Pyros are shit. "hurrdurr never use my shotgun because it is worthless hurrhurr"
:ohdear: I never use my shotgun either
Mainly because I'm using my Detonator to 'rocket' jump around places where you wouldn't expect a Pyro to come from (Stage 1 capture point 2 on Dustbowl, that gate that opens up right next to the shed? Yeah, Pyros can Detonator jump across the chasm to get to the open sniper's platform. Also can jump straight up the side of the cliffs if you angle it just right... and you can leap into the hallway on Stage 3 that the defender spawn opens up to where Engineers will usually park a turret/teleporter to back-attack the attackers... or leap up to the healthpacks in the shed thing right before the final capture in Stage 2, or leap up to the first capture point from the ground, or come up from the drop-off right there to the right of the attackers spawn... or any other myriad of uses! :D)
But if I don't feel like doing that sort of thing I tend to switch to the Shotgun and run as a Shotty Pyro - which unfortunately is still nowhere near as often as it should be.
I love watching F2P Pyros deflect my Direct Hit rockets with their face.Me too, though I use Liberty Launcher. It's made the main game almost too easy....
because fuck spies.
This is a good attitude to have.
:ohdear: I never use my shotgun either
You have the flare gun, that's an exception. What I mean by "not using shotgun" is pyros who have the shotgun in their loadout just stick to the w+m1 trick even if they are fighting a pyro as well when using the shotgun in fights like that is much better and stronger.
Example: I was a pyro on Fort and there was a pyro chasing me on their base. He kept on w+m1 while i was backpedaling with shotgun. Needless to say, I won.
Seriously. someone needs to put some sense into these F2P pyros

Anyone want this Bison I just found?
I want it. What do you want in return?
I have a strange Pyro loadout: I usually like to go with Degreaser/Flaregun/Homewrecker, because fuck spies.
Would the default flamethrower be a better choice?No.
Degreaser only does like 40 afterburn, whereas the others do 60, on top of the Degreasers' initial bonus damage.45 afterburn. And what do you mean "on top of the Degreasers' initial bonus damage"?
And you'd be surprised how often that little bit of extra burn damage can secure kills. If you ignite enough people, only one of them is gonna be able to get the health drop to put themselves out - the rest will continue to burn unless they have a friendly Pyro nearby or a Medic that you didn't manage to kill/weaken enough for the burn to kill.Or a Scout (Mad Milk), or Sniper (Jarate), or an Engineer (because there will be a dispenser nearby).
But just to make it clear, I've gotten a fair amount of kills on just about every class, save Heavies, with the afterburn. Even with the Degreaser and its reduced burn - it just matters on how long you hold the flame on someone.See, with the people I play with you will almost never burn to death because there will be someone to put you out. I don't rely on afterburn because it's useless if you're up against competent players. You have a perfectly usable weapon at your disposal (the shotgun) that can finish people off. If they are so low on health that the afterburn will kill them in a moment, your shotgun will do just as good of a job.
Still trying to get rid of this bison :VIf you want to get rid of it so badly then give it to me. :V
What's the average conversion rate for Crates to Hats as a trading currency?I crafted a Milkman way back when but I'm probably not going to use the set much anymore (lol Soda Popper), so I might consider trading it. But not for crates, needless to say.
I wanna get the Scout hat for the Shortstop+Mad Milk set and try that one out, since I'm having so much fun with the Gas Jockey set for Pyro.
Also, if anyone has a Tomislav, I'll love you forever if you trade it to me for something :D

This happened to a guy on another forum I go to.:getdown: and *facepalm*

CoD Fan: OH YEAH, ALL THE TIME, I LOVE IT!
Guy: So what's your best class?
CoD Fan: I use the M16.
*poker face*
Alright, so I have a bunch of Polycount and Uber weapons building up, yet there's a couple that I still need to get my hands on.
I have...

Conniver's Kunai
Mad Milk
The Dead Ringer
The Solemn Vow
The Shortstop
The Chargin' Targe

Also if you shout medic, please don't equip the equalizer. I cannot tell how many times I've seen this happen, and it kinda gets on my nerves.
I tell the Soldier in teamchat that I won't heal him if he does it again - first because I can't while it's out. After that, I won't heal him period, so he needs to make up his mind.Well, they changed it so you can't call for medic while it's out. If someone is repeatedly calling for medic and switching to the Equalizer they are probably griefing.
I'm tired of trying to close into melee range as ANY class - Demo, Scout, Pyro, Sniper - and having my target start immediately lagaporting around me, flailing their weapon around like a moron, and suddenly my head flies off on a jet of blood.
So is the Widowmaker as boss as it looks?
So is the Widowmaker as boss as it looks?
So is the Widowmaker as boss as it looks?I'm honestly not too big of a fan. I usually play Gunslinger Engie, so I can't camp a Dispenser to replace the metal that I inevitably chew through. As it's been said, you have to have incredible aim in being able to break even.
I have almost never seen a Gunslinger Engy with anything but his mini sentries out.:(
I have almost never seen a Gunslinger Engy with anything but his mini sentries out.Gunslinger Engie here, and this annoys me a bit as well. It is very odd that others do this since dispensers and teles remain a core part of Engie gameplay regardless of loadout...I haven't seen many Gunslinger Engies recently, however, but that may be to my playing VSH most of the time.
Almost, Iryan. Though to be blunt, no, you didn't have anything else that one time we were playing on Coldfront. It was just you and your mini sentries.If I drop the tele in front of our spawn and then immediately win the combat for the middle point so that our team doesn't spawn at the same spawn anymore then I fail to see the need for dropping a teleporter, especially when, as was the case with that map, just you and me combined where a greater force than the rest of our team combined so the time spent dropping teles would be better spent mowing down the enemy.

I generally place teles on payload and attack/defend maps, but when playing symmetrical cp and the tempo is high, I don't see the point. :derp:
Also, dispensers.
Then again, playing Gunslinger Engy on payload or A/D defense gets me flamed anyways, no matter if I have the top score of the team. :derp:
Don't mind them, they're just jealous of your skills.

Speaking of Medics and Quick-Fixes, I really wish Scouts would catch on that Medics can't double jump, so if they want the Medic to hang out with them at a control point or something, they shouldn't be leaping over walls the Medic can't. Otherwise yeah a Medic healing a Scout with a Quick Fix... sure, it doesn't overheal, so the Scout is still as fragile against explosives as normal, but against anyone else, he's now twice as lethal.
Yeah when I play scout I honestly expect medics to ignore me, it's for their benefit. It's like, "why are you following me, I can't defend you". I'll run away and find a health kit if I need healing.
Do you guys have a server you normally play on together?
Probably only for crafting. The damage vulnerabilities it causes tends to counteract the use of Goomba stomping with Mantreads. If they weren't so severe - as in, don't bother using it in an actual game for added mobility, but instead for practicing your rocket jumps in an empty server - then maybe it'd be worthwhile in combination with the Market Gardener and Mantreads.
It's a nice troll weapon, though, if you like griefing your teammates.
The two of you who want the jumper, either one of you want to sweeten your offers on it? I might be tempted to favor one over the other... >:DIf there are any weapons you still need that I have duplicates of, I'd be willing to hand one over for it. I just don't know what ones I have extras of at the moment.
Anyways, I finally got a Premium account for buying Your Eternal Reward (for $0.99), so now there's a point in showing my backpack :3*renamed huntsman*
http://www.tf2b.com/76561198025012260
Yeah not much because I had to limit it to 50 spaces x.x
I have an Original. It's technically no different from the stock launcherNot true. The rockets shoot straight down the crosshair instead of to the right of it (or the left you've flipped the viewmodels). Some people like this because that's how they are used to rockets behaving in other games.
Also The Original sounds wicked awesome.No, that would be the Machina when you get a penetration kill. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1XCz5v7J_A&feature=related&t=19s)
Does anyone have a Sticky Jumper hanging around? I'd like to get ahold of one.
Is it me, or is the Machina's cons kinda redundant? Most servers has killcam on to reveal your location anyway.
It's not the person you just headshot that you should be worrying about, really.

Man. All these F2P kids are making me think I'm a pro Pyro now.
Anyways, enough about me. Has anyone been tempted to rename a Medi-gun to 'Strange Medi-gun' and using a description tag to mimic the '0 kills' line on it? Just to screw with people's heads?
Degreaser + shotgun + axtinguisher is amazing setup.AGREED. (even though Axtinguisher is banned in VSH)
Speaking of which, since this weekend is a long one for US/Canada based players how about another public server hijack event? :3Sure, I'd be interested :V.
Sure, I'd be interested :V.
Sure, I'd be interested :V.Ah, good to see some interest building up!
Give him a Detonator and he'll find a use for it, I'm sure. :O
If I had another one, he would, yeah, but so far I've only gotten the one I use.I may have another one besides the one I named "Happiness". Just ask me some time when I happen to be ingame and you are on Steam.
8pm sound good?Damn it. If it's in the evening or night, I won't be able to come. I'm available in late afternoon, though.
Well I'll be working today though x.x Prefer tomorrow, though I need to know what times are best for all of you guys. I was thinking same time as last time though, 8pm sound good? If not when are you guys best available?*cough* Timezone? *cough*
So looks maybe 3 or 4pm EST seems like a good time for a majority of all of you eh? :P12 or 1pm PST? Fine by me.
So looks maybe 3 or 4pm EST seems like a good time for a majority of all of you eh? :P
Wait when is that for me?
ADD ME ON STEAM SO I CAN JOINME TOO
P.much. Looks like we got a set time then :DMeet you guys shortly. I guess I'll have to play on my laptop since my new DIY desktop want to commit suicide or something instead.
Gpop's finding us a server, right? Or has it already started?I think one of us will hunt down and find a server, probably me or Gpop.
Also, VSH is... :derp:It makes more sense than Zombie Fortress (another mod I played a lot of - this was before Randomizer and VSH were really around), at least. :V
I think some of you wanted in around 8PM EST...I can do that too! TF2Ware this time? :DI completely forgot about that time. I'm happy now because that means get to play an actual match for more than 2 minutes at a time because the game felt like there was too much violence. Assuming we do something other than TF2 ware.
But when we switched over to VSH things got hilarious, mass engineers, Hale literally flying, those damn taunts. Overall, this was great and i can't wait for it to happen again.'SCREW GRAVITY!' *engie camp in Granary keeps shooting away*
I completely forgot about that time. I'm happy now because that means get to play an actual match for more than 2 minutes at a time because the game felt like there was too much violence. Assuming we do something other than TF2 ware.Hahaha.
Also, please let me know if I haven't added you yet.You're already on my Friends list, so we're good there.
By the way, did anybody record the playing this time? (The regular games in particular? :V )Ah, the regular games...Iryan was wiping the floor in them, while I kept feeding yuyukos Caber explosions :V. Good matches even though performance wasn't as expected.
Hope everyone had fun on the normal maps and on the VSH server, looking forward to doing this again in the future.As I said earlier I'll likely do an encore run with others who either couldn't make it or just want more. I'm going for this since my desktop is still stuck installing Windows (need some way to kill the time), MC server has problems, and my laptop hates MC with a passion while TF2 runs 30+FPS most of the time on 720p.
Also, have a look at some of the sprays.Ehe, and mine (Rampaging Sakuya on upper-right) was also animated for even greater effect :V
...So I guess I missed it again? :getdown:Yes and no. I plan for another run in about an hour, assuming interest is there.
Yes and no. I plan for another run in about an hour, assuming interest is there.Oh, good. In that case, I'm going to just hope that this storm has passed by that time and drag my crippled self upstairs.
Well I dunno if anyone got replays since the server EP chose didn't allow replays, which is why I tried looking for those that time.Whoops! I'll take that into account on the next server I choose, provided there is one that has the Replay option.
By the way, did anybody record the playing this time? (The regular games in particular? :V )Demos. PREC (http://orangad.com.ua/). Set to record all matches.
I dunno, if we had our own server it'd be nice to do this more weekly, like every Saturday or weekendI'm sure we could in theory have our own. As proven by Stuffman/Strafe and the MotK Minecraft server, we don't need to host a server on TSO's systems to be considered official. A dedicated host will do! :D
I actually was thinking about getting a VPS to play around with, maybe I will take a swing at setting up a server. No prior experience before, though, so no promises.Hehe, neat.
Well anyone can read the thread but I mean random people don't join it if they didn't. It's just so it's more than likely that people who are in MotK can join.Of course...but we're still publicly advertising the server in a way.
A well-placed Mini-sentry will oftentimes snatch kills from your teammates when they're fighting others - seeing as how the turrets have no firing lag and are attacking with perfect accuracy and frequency, whereas anyone but a Pyro or a Heavy at point-blank range has gaps between their firing.
I actually find mini-sentries WAY more effective in the front line rather than level 3 sentries.Mann Manor. :smug:
To be fair, engies themselves are very weak. Their shotguns are the only reliable source of damage, (relying on revenge crits only works up to a certain distance), and they lose their only source of mid-range firepower (which is still not very strong) if they have the Wrangler equipped.1. Gunslinger Engineers have 150 health, so they aren't as squishy.
1. Gunslinger Engineers have 150 health, so they aren't as squishy.Distant 3: Skilled pistol use can be lethal, and the boatload of ammo helps.
2. You are severely underestimating the Shotgun.
Really, a well-played Gunslinger Engy without his mini-sentry is still almost as much of a threat as a Pyro, except against projectile spam.
Also, engies on offense (like on payload and attack/defend maps) tend to be retards. I cannot tell you how many times engies on my team spend all their metal on building level 3 sentries and dispensers at home base or at some random location nowhere near the front lines with an unfinished teleporter sitting outside the spawn, only for them and their buildings to be killed when they finally decide to move out.Clearly most Engies can't build in situ for better team assistance. I find this 'upgrade THEN go' strategy too often, and usually if this occurs with 2+ Engies on my team we lose easily.
Even worse is when your team decides to hunker down and fill a hallway with sentries WHEN THEY'RE STILL ON OFFENSE. And it urks me that every time they're told to switch to a more useful class like a Medic, they respond "no u."Such is the irony of team games - we play them for individual interest and don't care about the gains of the whole really!
What really torques me the most though is when Engineers deliberately put their turrets in obscure places (for example, 2Fort - in the water, by a corner of the center pond so that it shoots up to the top of the bridge and the side nearest it without revealing itself, and onto the front deck of the base opposite to it) so that it'll only get kills when a very specific fight breaks out nearby, and ends up snatching every kill because of it just so they can power up their Frontier Justice... and then realizes that because of where the turret is, no one will blow it up and he'll never get his crits.You'll get the crits if you blow up your own sentry, mang.
I get bitter about battle Engineers for some reason. Probably because of how goddamn cheap the turrets are. If you have a tiny spot of lag, you're fucked compared to a turret. The only way I've been able to destroy turrets is either the tried-and-true DemospamLoch-N-Load for true sentry fucking superiority. Even funner when you kill the engineer trying to repair his gun (if he didn't die in one hit).
Damn turrets (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjhrIsSCcjs&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PLD69E159709B077F4)Erectin' an annoyance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5CG0qP7Bm0&feature=related)

So for now I put up a fairly bare bones server, running with sourcemod, tfitems and vsh (VSH currently disabled). I am not too sure if HLStatsX is super necessary, but I'll give it a look. And I will get tf2ware and randomizer after I'm sure that VSH is working fully first.YEAH! I'll see if I can get on later today.
I'm also in need of a non-generic motd and server name so post suggestions.
96.126.104.196:27015
No server password or whitelist yet.
Played a bunch of spy, came in second. I'm terribly inconsistent as spy, some lives I just run in and die and others I'll take out ten people clean. I also suck horribly at the DR, need to work on that.
found two hats:qq:
I rarely pull off more than two or three kills as a Spy and maybe one or two successful saps before getting killedI frequently stab the engineer and kill all of his toys in one go. Even if the engineer is paranoid, asking a teammate to shoot at his gun (using voice) is usually more than enough to distract them. Stab-n-sap is so good.
Enemy team prefers to move in pairs at the least so it's pretty simple to sidle right up alongside someone and shank them, but after that I'm usually toast.Dead Ringer and Saharan Spy solves that problem in their own way. Depending on who you didn't kill you can fake people out with your invis watch by moving in one direction while cloaking and quickly changing direction, but a soldier/demo/heavy will probably kill you too quickly (and the heavy will constantly reveal you). The Enforcer can also be a godsend because of the crazy damage it does if you take the ballsy approach.
I've found a ground total of three hats (Professional's Panama, Detective Noir, and Whiskered Gentleman) in my time playing. Since 2008. I've come to the conclusion that it's retribution for all of the Gaben fat jokes I've made over the years.Huh. I don't find hats often, but they do come now and again. The two in two days was some kind of freak accident.
I wonder how many of my crates I can swap out for a Familiar Fez... hmm. Worth looking in to, I suppose. Might play Spy a little more aggressively if I had the set.The trick to playing spy more aggressively is to not use the C&D :D
Btw im still relatively new to the game so expect some derp from meh :derp:
I prefer grenade spam :getdown:That won't get you very far, you know.
That won't get you very far, you know.Left-click right-click. Rinse and repeat.
The Hatless Update broke TF2 like that for me, minus the loss of loadout.It also sadly broke VSH for a bit. :(
It's a toss-up for me now between regular Invisi-Watch and the Dead Ringer. I'm trying to stay away from the Cloak and Dagger watch, because honestly, there really IS enough ammo lying around for you to make a marathon run to wherever you need to be, provided you don't cloak before you run out of your spawn.C&D is quite meh - it's therefore joked as the 'Camp & Dagger' by some players.
Stabby uploaded a new video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-XnHDIvobo&feature=feedu).Every time he uploads a video I want to play Spy for a few more hours.

Stabby uploaded a new video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-XnHDIvobo&feature=feedu).This made me play as spy for a few rounds of payload. Most of my kills were with the revolver, very few backstabs.

Found the revolver that does 20% more damage, prefer it over the sniper one.
But I still need to practice using good disguises, backstabbing, and taking out engie nests. :(
What do you guys prefer, C&D or DR?
The C&D is good for traversing long distances entirely cloaked and camping out areas, waiting for a good time to strike or relaying information about the other team's setup (usually just counting sentries). The DR is for more aggressive spies who like to use the element of surprise to catch the other team off-guard, especially after they see that first rag-doll drop.
That is, until Pyros start coming after you. Then the DR becomes worthless as you'll still be burning and visible after "death".Mmh, that depends. If you activate it while they are spraying their flame unto you, yes, obviously.
Got a C&D, pretty fun, but now I want to try the DR, and it'll probably take me forever to get 17 Spy achievements.Or you'll have to find it, purchase it, or gamble with crafting (though this is unlikely).
*fiddles around with crafting and gets 2 reclaimed*

I can trade you one of mine if you got something special :VGot nothing, just 2 reclaimed :colonveeplusalpha:

Well, thanks to the new patch (that unfortunately for you demoknight players, removed the ability to air-charge, from what Bananamatic tells me) my item loadouts no longer crash my game.Hooray for latter, and as for the former it was re-added in another patch. (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/September_16,_2011_Patch)
>Log in to TF2
>Go to a Valve payload server
>Guy asks "any girls here"
>Leave server along with 3 others
Also got a Dead Ringer (sapped sentry, backstabbed engineer, somehow get 5 achievements) and a Conniver's Kunai renamed "Your Back's Best Friend" (trade). Gotta get used to it.
Also, I've found that a lot of the times, I tend to be great with one class one day, and good with others on other days.Impressive! Now try your shots against ShadyK (another newcomer who specialises in Demoman)! :D
For example, yesterday I've been getting 4 dominations ON AVERAGE as demoman. Holy hell I was loving him.
You know, I was watching this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K51rcIzJU64#t=2m20s) and it got me thinking about being an engineer during the set up phases to help out other engineers build before going back to another class to defend or attack. It would really help them for sure without ever worrying about your own buildings and even strengthening attacks and defense.I've always done it with level 1 teleporters, so long as they had an exit built, but never thought about doing it with the other buildings during setup. Then again, I never really see any engies building everything during setup. It's usually just that one sentry that gets destroyed right away.
Man I should've thought of that lol

Spent more time dead than alive, hit perhaps five times total with rockets.
Tried it with a friend. Played as medic (because the server didn't have one), and then soldier (after someone else switched to medic).
Spent more time dead than alive, hit perhaps five times total with rockets.
Not really seeing the fun here.
However, if you're really having a hard time, go heavy. Everyone knows you don't need skill to be a heavy or pyro. :P
Fixed. :VNot really. The better the other players are, the harder the life of a pyro becomes. A competent heavy is always dangerous unless your team has a) good snipers, and b) the area of the map you're on is sniper-friendly).
w+m1 pyros are stupid and should dieDon't worry, their idiocy makes them that much easier to kill! :getdown:
Also airblast is the bane of most heavies because it makes their aim shit the bed.Airblast is the bane of all pyros because you can't do anything. And it only impacts a heavy's aim if they are bad ;) Good ones are going to kill you before they land.
Then you could circle-strafe around him and flamethrower, while changing directions often.Again, that only works on bad heavies. If you've playing with people that are TF2 "veterans" that actually bother trying to improve their play, circle-strafing works about as well as a W+M1 pyro.
And words cannot describe my reaction to this update, so have what they screwed up instead. (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2141900)>Widowmaker uses 30 metal
Also, did anyone try that server that other guy made before?I did a bit and it seems fine. It was fun to test Randomizer Payload :V
Oh dammit that last link got my hopes up, with the 'Pryo equips Reserve Shooter'. I was wondering when Pyro was gonna get a new shotgun for the secondary weapon slot - don't get me wrong, I like my Detonator and all, but another shotgun would be nice sometime soon, y'know. Since Soldier, Heavy, and Engineer all use shotguns and have multiple different types to play with now. Why not Pyro?As someone who much favours the shotgun over the Flare Gun and Detonator, I am also hoping for this.
Alright, well I talk to omgkitties (I forgot his username here x.x) if we could use his server for another MotK TF2 party this weekend. What do you guys say?Canadian Thanksgiving TF2 fest? I'm down!
Why this weekend, well it's Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada, so I'd like to use to play TF2 with others again. And we can easily do it again in the US Thanksgiving weekend as well :V
You guys up for it?
Thanksgiving in October? Crazy Canadians. :VSo what, the Korean one was 2-odd weeks ago. :V
I'll be around Saturday I think.
Anyways, queue the vsh and mini-senty spam!I'm hoping for VSH + Randomizer, personally, just to see what kinds of idiocy result. :getdown:
Thanksgiving in October? Crazy Canadians. :VYeah, Thanksgiving in Canada comes before Halloween. Count me in for TF2 party, I'm free.
I'll be around Saturday I think.
I had a Chief's Challenge drop for me a few days ago, but I changed my mind about trading it since they recently introduced customizable loadouts to the beta. Kind of wish I had not had given my Hound Dog to my brother too but oh well.Eh, I'm not even concerned about using loadout profiles for cosmetic stuff. It's to make switching between certain loadouts that have you swapping most of your items (fez spy and demoknight in particular, plus the "medieval medic" because switching back after Degroot annoys me).
:derp:, but double dosage YEAH! We need to remember to do this as well for US Thanksgiving, and add a Halloween slugfest as well. ^^
@Gpop: Going by Steam chat with Rgwefwef and a few tests, it seems that you and I have admin privileges on the MotK TF2 server since we seem to be the ones organizing said meet-ups. We indeed can do Randomizer VSH (or even melee-only :ohdear:) even if he isn't on. >:D
I also got Shady to test along yesterday (just to see if permissions were setup incorrectly), but he didn't seem to give a clear reply in-game.
To the rest of you: No need to worry about admin power abuse XD. We'll start easy and standard vanilla to get the general tone going, and then go crazier from there.
Yeah, I saw you get online. Sorry bout that.Afraid I cannot get back on. Both my laptop and desktop are down, and while I can try and service the latter myself (with very low chances of recovery into TF2 within 24hrs) I have to wait until tomorrow for the former.
BUt yeah, well now it's in half an hour, I'll try to get around by then :V
less admin power usage is a must. ^^Wait what happened? :V
So how's everyone for Sunday this weekend for TF2 REAL Canadian Thanksgiving meet up? :V Sunday at 5PM EST again :VDoubt I can make it to that TF2 meet T_T
Actually, since we have our own server, we should just meet up every Saturday :V
Good call, server address added to OP.You may also want to add info on the server op (Rgwefwef / omgkitties) as well as the admins (Gpop and me), as the MC server thread does the same.
That is all. (http://steamcommunity.com/id/gamecubic/screenshot/540655515217220376?tab=public)Haha! Now we need a Yukari skin for the portal gun over in Portal land, for one.

Complementing getting a low-res player pack, my laptop is lagging terribly when I play a round... are there any low-res texture packs out there, besides for the players?
I just wrecked the ever-loving crap out of a Gravel Pit server. I'm pretty sure it was chalk-full of newbies, though, because at Red teams' round end, pretty much everyone got the Impossible Defense achievement.
I was seriously booking it that game, having ended up clearing out both capture points by myself multiple times, and Detonator jumping up to the hallways to harass the Snipers and Soldiers who were trying to spam projectiles out at CP: B.
There's also something incredibly gratifying about reflecting every rocket fired at you by one Soldier and using them to kill his allies as he fires. I almost cried I was laughing so hard, and I know that'll never happen again.
TF2 slugfest commencing in ~15 minutes, everyone! Get on!
EDIT: Well, that was quite fun. Low-gravity Randomizer Payload was pretty damned hilarious (and made the Direct Hit almost trivial to use).
I'd rather vanilla play :VI'd rather mod play :V

Vanilla + mirrored maps (where things tend to feel weird).That sounds like a hell of a lot of fun. We should do this next time! :V
That thing is absolutely hilarrrible. :VGood thinking, moving these shenanigan gamemodes towards the end of things next time.
It can make for fun time every now and then, and would be a great way to end a night like this, but in the end, I'd rather vanilla play :V
That was kinda fun even though I played only 2 or 3 rounds.
Also, I love Cloak&Dagger + Your Eternal Reward combo. :D
Something about playing Soldier and running around, then coming upon two enemy Soldiers in a pair*Equalizer brofist
Get blasted into the air, air strafe to dodge their air shots, and come down with the Equalizer and kill them both
Oh, and apparently the reserve shooter can be equipped by pyro now. So there's that.OH YES! That will make things even more fun after airblasting. :V
So I heard you wanted a Sticky Jumper Esi? Well, turns out I've crafted one. Since I already have one (purchase), I can give this new one by trade. ;)
EDIT: ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH. Having trouble changing loadout sets and connecting to loadout servers. >:USame here...had a hard time accessing the store as well for a few goodies (namely the hi-five taunt).
*too many 'I love you's*I can get on soon, but not yet (argh forgot to grab dinner amid this TF2 stuff).
>Removed "I didn't need your help y'know" line if being healed by a MedicThank god. It was the one that came up more often than any other "Thanks!" line for me, and I don't really like saying "yeah even though you just brought me back from nearly dying I didn't need you so piss off >:C".
Anyways, who's gonna be there for this Saturday? I'm gonna test if I can record while playing the game a bit to post on YT if it works well enough. Gonna be mostly Vanilla play though, too much random fun last week x.xI should be there this time, I lost interest in the game for a while, but I should be good for this weekend. Also, replays can record voice chat now. Neat.
I got a paper hat! :derp:
Anyone tried the new Engi item that explodes projectiles and consumes metal?
You mean the Short Circuit? I don't have one, but I assume it'd be really useful for defending an engie nest/farm if there was a dispenser nearby.Yeah the Short Circuit. It seems useful but I haven't had time to play around with it.
Also paper hat bros.
Got a Reserve Shooter as a drop earlier today. Now I just need to work on my aim, and to get used to popping people into the air a little better.
Do you use the Degreaser, Esi? If you do, then it should be easy to airblast twice then shoot.
Do you use the Degreaser, Esi? If you do, then it should be easy to airblast twice then shoot.Or you could just waltz up to them and shoot them in the face. Twice. And you can do it in less time that it's going to take you to airblast twice, switch weapons (even with the Degreaser) and shoot them.
Except the Reserve Shooter only does bonus damage while your target is airborne, which is the issue.Yeah. Which is why the shotgun is better 99% of the time. You don't need the target to be in the air, and you're not wasting time and flamethrower ammo to put more bullets in them.
I don't normally pack the shotgun because I don't like to hang around fights for any longer than I absolutely have to.And the shotgun is good for ending fights quickly if you can aim. Burst damage is king in this game.
The Detonator is good for mobility and for overwriting the Degreaser's reduced afterburnThe shotgun is great for making up for the Degreaser's reduced afterburn. Even a shitty shot (2-3 pellets hit) will do enough damage to make up for the 15 damage you lose on the Degreaser's afterburn. And in the TF2 beta the Degreaser does normal afterburn damage.
Even when I'm running with the Gas Jockey set, I tend to keep a Detonator on hand, even though the shotgun would be better for pulling off an ignite-for-a-DoT, airblast-to-disorient, shotgun burst damage to finish the job. I just can't aim the shotguns for shit, so it's less reliable damage for me than the afterburn from a flaregun shot. It's also why I don't play Scout or Battle Engineer that much; I'm a terrible shot at close range.Well, that explains everything :V
As for the mobility argument...maybe in certain limited circumstances. If the beta incarnation of the Detonator was in the game I could agree with you. As it exists now it isn't really good for mobility but acceptable at getting to certain locations on certain maps that may surprise people simply because they aren't used to it.
one-shot crit-kills me before I could take them off. With a default revolver.Are you 100% sure that wasn't the Enforcer?
In the first map of Dustbowl, again on RED team, you can leap from the shed that drops down into the final capture point from the one-way gate in the mining tunnel across the chasm and into the sniper's lookout, and slip in that way for a big surprise.You can do that as any class with 100% movement speed by jumping from the across from that sniper spot. If you'd rather go from the one-way gate there's some building geometry you can stand on.
For BLU team, on the same map, you can leap up onto the wooden 'balcony' next to the stairs that lead to the mining tunnel from the first capture point. Coming in from that window makes it easier to corner-kill Sentries tucked in the corner, or just straight-up catch the defenders by surprise.If you're talking about the wooden platform next to the first cap point's building, any class can jump up there. Hop on the wheel in the corner (between the main entrance and the platform), then onto the platform.
On the final map, as BLU team you can jump up into the tunnel that Engineers like to build their sentries in so they shoot out the window as people come around the corner (right there to the right of the first capture point) and blow up any teleporters they may have built back in the tunnel, around the corner, and away from lucky rocket shots or grenades.Yeah, but a demo or soldier can do that too (and they almost always do). They are also better equipped to kill any sentries that may be built there near the teles and multiple people that have taken the tele since the point was capped.
You can also use the Detonator to jump clear across the chokepoint by the silo, to get upstairs quickly with easy access to the healthpack and ammo crate there if necessary or to flank a Soldier, Sniper, or someone camping in the bottom of the silo without running past them and making it clear that you're about to come into their door.In practice I find that is less than practical. There is almost always a sentry either on the bridge or on the stairs across from that building and they will wreck you if you are trying to jump there. That kind of ties into the next jump you mention on that map, because holding that building is an extremely high priority and it stays clear since at least one engineer will be built there.
On the second map in Dustbowl, you can jump up the middle of that shed with the two healthkits and ammo crates inside it, right there across from the final capture point, if you stand on the stacks of lumber and jump off that. I don't think Scouts can make that jump - though I haven't tried.The Detonator's jump is smaller than the Scout's double jump, never mind using the FaN or Atomizer for more height.
Are you 100% sure that wasn't the Enforcer?I'm pretty sure I something black on that revolver. It could've been a diamondback. The Enforcer is also my main revolver, and I've never one-shot crit-killed anyone with it.
I'm pretty sure I something black on that revolver. It could've been a diamondback. The Enforcer is also my main revolver, and I've never one-shot crit-killed anyone with it.The Enforcer does 144 damage on a crit, so it's the only revolver capable of one-shotting a 125 HP class (or a Medic using the Vita-Saw).
Until I start getting better with aiming the shotties, I suppose.Same principle as any other hitscan weapon in the game. I play engi a lot so I use it quite a bit, and it's also my default secondary for soldier and pyro.
The Bucket o' Brains (http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Bucket_o%27_Brains) I found is a new item, isn't it?I think you found a Brain Bucket. The one you linked to is an unreleased version of the hat. That's been out since early this summer as a promotion for Plants vs. Zombies, but they still semi-seldom drop.
Since I don't really want it, what're the odds I could swindle a Googly Gazer out of someone for it?
Anyone else having issues with TF2 just randomly deciding to quit to desktop without any warning whatsoever since the latest update?
Seems like this thread has been sitting idly for a bitSure! What will be the server?in an offline achievement_idle server.
Well, either way, trying to gather interest here for a Halloween weekend TF2 meet. I'm considering doing this twice (both Friday and Saturday, ~5-6PM EST),,,any takers?
Sure! What will be the server?

Don't the DH and LL have the same speed modifier for rockets?
I saw a Frontier Justice renamed "Kurt Cobain's Microphone."
:qq:
About pyro, I prefer setting enemies on fire, airblasting them into the air, and shooting them with my shotgun. I'll probably need a Reserve Shooter, then. I don't like melee, though, but I try to melee kill them if they survive my Degreaser and shotgun.

Well, since I'm absolute bunk at aiming a shotgun at a moving target - even one I've airblasted up myself - I can probably wing you my Reserve Shooter and just stick to the standard shotty for my shotgun loadouts. The 3 round clip doesn't really help against other Pyros that well if I can't get in close enough and reliably airblast juggle them.Ahahaha~ I already crafted one myself, but I lost my Quick-fix, Loch-n-load, and Enforcer in the process. :P
I find the lack of a rocket much more of a hindrance than slower rocket speed, personally.The faster rocket speed (plus normal splash) makes the LL easier to aim, especially at a distance. If you're not good at predicting enemy movement then the loss of a rocket isn't so bad since you'd probably miss at least one of them anyway. Where it sucks is when you're rocket jumping at someone and are down yet another rocket. Personally, I like the Original.
New comic up hinting at the upcoming event: http://www.teamfortress.com/bombinomicon/There was a notice on the HLDS mailing list (At 3:37 P.M.

One thing I'm not going to miss at the end of the week - retarded scouts, pyros, and spies not grasping that the point can't be capped when Monoculus is around, and thus that ammo not shot at the eye is ammo wasted.

Sadly, the blind function was a bit broken. I blinded one of them for a bit, but it seems that you can't unblind them later. So it seems to be buggy in this sense :(The blind function works for a set duration (usage: blind <player> <value>) or until they are killed, whichever comes first.
when going into engineer nests, if they're too busy building, I can easily stab them first then sap sentries, it makes it easier to kill dumb engineers :VYou should already be able to do that unless there are multiple sentries.

I've given up on the stab'n'sap technique on my computer. It's like it knows when I'm about to do it and times a half-second lockup or framerate chop perfectly between the stab and the sap, and I tend to get ripped apart.This sounds like my computer. When I'm about to do something is when it decides "Oh hey, you're doing something? Let me help!"

Bots are way, way, WAY too easy to spy on. More than any other class, you can rack up insane kill streaks as a Spy against bots.That is until you jeopardize your cover or accidentally bump into one of the bots. Then, they are on you full force.

The Heavy/Medic bots are ridiculous on that 2fort server though. Perfect perception and tracking with their Miniguns kinda hurts. :getdown:
If anything, H/M bots tend to not uber as often, thankfully.But when they do, it's always at the worst possible time for you.
Traded a scrap for a Backburner. Am pleased with this.
And thus we have another Frontburning W+M1 Pyro
But when they do, it's always at the worst possible time for you.Exactly. They love camping outside of spawn when ubered too... not that they don't do that otherwise. Not to mention their bot ESP tells them to trigger uber when they aren't even looking at the bubbling Pyro getting ready to axe murder the both of them from behind. They just know I'm coming. :getdown:

Finally upgraded to premium. Oh man. Oh god oh man oh god.Wait, you mean heavy's default melee weapon, his fists? Woah, never seen those being of strange quality. I'd hold on to them. It sounds fun to be able to make Heavy's bare hands legendary.
Bought a key, uncrate Strange Fists. I will probably trade them off or something, 'cause I can't melee for shit.
I've got a spare.Could you give me one? Maybe I could give you something in return, but I am kinda noob at trading. There are online services for showing your inventory I think, but I am not using any and don't know any. Plus I really don't know how to trade with people. So far I've only traded with my IRL friend and it was pretty easy. I hope we don't have to be both online at the same time? Because you know, time zones.
The fastest way to make me rage is to spam mini-sentries.Dammit. I was considering starting playing an engineer with mini-sentries. And maybe with Widowmaker (when I get one). Run and gun without having to reload, spam mini-sentries and other random structures wherever you go... Sounds cool to me, but apparently not that cool to anyone else.

There are online services for showing your inventory I think, but I am not using any and don't know any. Plus I really don't know how to trade with people. So far I've only traded with my IRL friend and it was pretty easy. I hope we don't have to be both online at the same time? Because you know, time zones.Both players have to be online to trade (for offline, gift wrap is needed). However they don't have to be in TF2 - Steam Trading will work.
Dammit. I was considering starting playing an engineer with mini-sentries. And maybe with Widowmaker (when I get one). Run and gun without having to reload, spam mini-sentries and other random structures wherever you go... Sounds cool to me, but apparently not that cool to anyone else.The issue is that you could run out of metal quickly, reducing the opportunities for setting up buildings and moving around without finding ammo packs or dropped weapons. At least bring a Pistol with you in case you do run low on metal.
Also, I noticed that The Shortstop's reload time was doubled while I was away from TF2. It made me moderately angry. It really shows.I didn't like this much either. Loved using that quick-reload Shortstop on VSH in conjunction with a Crit-a-Cola.
Well, apparently The Shortstop deserved a nerf. I liked barraging people with a non-stop rapid shower of pellets, though.
Though not that long ago i killed about 15 people during a single life with the nerfed Shortstop, and I only lived like 5 minutes or so, but we were basically camping their spawn on a payload map. Mad Milk + Fan-o-War + The Shortstop = a pretty fun way to play a Scout in my book.Spawncamping penalty go :V
In VSH news, Kyo Tanaka and I have proven that Booties Demoknight is a legitimate strategy in VSH, provided that many (6+) go Demoknight rush on Hale. Not as effective vs. CBS or in Lumberyard, Sawmill, or Nucleus, though.
And, seeing that this week is US Thanksgiving, I say it's perfect time to W+M1 that turkey, stuff it with stickybombs, bake the dinner rolls with some Mad Milk, etc. In other words, TF2 meets on our server are in good consideration for this week!
I think Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are good in terms of days; however, I am not sure about times (help me here Gpop :V).
Expected: plenty of CP and Payload, along with VSH.
I think Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are good in terms of days; however, I am not sure about times (help me here Gpop :V).5PM EST as always? :V
Each hit with demoknight on VSH does about 195 damage, and with 4 heads on Eyelander a demoknight can survive a crit hit from Hale and have enough speed to escape from him.Hm, good thinking. I tend to go 1001 Demoknights loadout in VSH, though, with a Half-Zatoichi for vanilla Demoknight madness.
Half-ZatoichiAll of a sudden I want one of those.
I'm looking for any strange degreaser, though I dunno if I have anything valuable for them trade for it atm :(I have one, but sadly, I am using it.. I've taken a liking to collecting Strange weaponry. (I have the Strange Medi Gun as well)
The only strange weapon I have is the Strange Medic gun atm,
Hey, I don't know if you guys already know this or not. You can go to the Mann Co. Store and Rent a weapon of your choice.It's been implemented in Manniversary Update. As the only unique weapon I lack is the Fan O' War (and upon playing with it in Randomizer I've come to not really like), I probably won't be using that feature yet.
Also, I guess the reason why my mini sents worked that time because I've always been more the, "take alternate path and ambush/sneak behind team" type of guy (which is why my top two classes are pyro and spy). So using that same tactic I always placed my mini sentries in places they never expect, creating a bit of chaos as they searched for that one sentry that keeps shooting them.That's a proper way to play Gunslinger Engie. Distract them with mini-Sentries while the rest of the team pushes forward using your established base further back from the frontlines.
That's a proper way to play Gunslinger Engie. Distract them with mini-Sentries while the rest of the team pushes forward using your established base further back from the frontlines.Perfect. I feel right at home then :V
I usually don't try and salvage the sentry if it's too far back and prefer to just blow them up and rely on drops or boxes for more metal.I do the exact same really, anytime we push up, I just blow up the sentry and place another one. It's much faster anyways than to carry something weak and small anyways :V
And I still have an extra Machina, if anyone wants it.I still kinda want it, but how the heck do I trade with you in this game?
Oh dear that isn't good. Have you tried using -dxlevel 81 in Launch Options?Uh, you said it was -dxlevel 80 before. :V (and it's what I have and it works)
I still kinda want it, but how the heck do I trade with you in this game?Inside TF2:
Uh, you said it was -dxlevel 80 before. :V (and it's what I have and it works)I say use -dxlevel 81 first, then 80 if problems persist.
You know, if I was smart, I would've saved a replay of me killing you at the exact moment the gates opened up with a taunt. :getdown: That was just too hilarious.People can and will do that on real matches, usually failing miserably of course. :V
Anyone wants a Strange Brass Beast and/or Strange Fists ?Sure. Is there anything in particular that you're looking for?
Sure. Is there anything in particular that you're looking for?The only stranges I want are a postal pummeler (or axtinguisher) and a quick fix
Also, see if you want any of my duplicates/crates before I craft metal for 30 minutes straight (http://tf2b.com/?id=Gamecubic)I'll take the Cow Mangler and Bison, been looking for that.
sdlrghgrlkhgerSucks
Trading will have to wait. TF2 item server died just at the right moment. Even Steam can't show my TF2 inventory.
GABE
Y U EAT MY ITEMS
On another note, may be a bit old news here but hooray another bad TF2 clone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Vz2FFk087M). And I thought HAVE Online / MicroVolts / Toy Wars (JP) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx23D90sUxk) was bad enough at that....WTF... I think I saw this before. Soldier from TF2 + Battlefield Heroes maps.
Is the meet-up happening right now? Because if it is, I dunno where. The MotK server has disappeared from my favorites list.I don't think it is. No one on my friends list is even on TF2. And yeah, the server likes to change IP addresses, so you're gonna have to find it again. I've had that issue before.
And now I have 2 sets of strange fists.
Sorry guys, something came up and I won't be able to make it today. :(
Is there another one tomorrow?
Looks like we got 2 people from Dstyle coming for tonight's meeting :V:getdown: Oh man, this will be so fun. And my wrist is much better today, albeit still aching.
There's only me and Lishy here. Did it get moved to a different time or something?
Oops I guess no one mentioned that the port changed.It was mentioned last page. theshim hasn't updated the OP x.x
Atm the server is at
chen.lolmaiden.com:28000
Let's all add [MotK] at the beginning of our Steam names so we know who is from where :VAnd thus, the MotK TF2 clan is born. :V
And thus, the MotK TF2 clan is born. :VHehe. We already had a Shrinemaiden BF3 platoon during the Beta of that game, though. Not sure if it's still there now....
God dammit, the first time i get myself some keys, "Hey let's open all of my series 24 crates in hopes of a Strange Knife", and i managed to get almost everything besides the knife, just my luck. Got two strange Revolvers, a Strange Kunai and a Strange Ambassador. :/
http://www.tf2items.com/profiles/76561198043676570I see you have two Cabers, i have always wanted one of those :P
Here are all of the items I have. I only got 2 and a half pages filled.
Welp, this didn't go as planned. The wiki lies to me. I needed to reset my stats....Admittedly I've done this before back on the Scout, Sniper, and Spy updates, especially. Oddly I still haven't reset my statistics, but I don't care at all about the score and want to keep track of my time. Good to know that the stat reset takes that away too.
Yeah, now I have it asking me for a coach before a match again. :V LIKE I NEED ONE.TBH I suggest taking a few Pyro pointers, in your case. Frontburning makes everyone on your team unhappy.
EDIT: Done! =D Now it should be more clear and accurate for others.And then Valve patches it in yet another 1.1GB TF2/Source update. Alternatively, you get a Wiki Cap. :V
God dammit, the first time i get myself some keys, "Hey let's open all of my series 24 crates in hopes of a Strange Knife", and i managed to get almost everything besides the knife, just my luck. Got two strange Revolvers, a Strange Kunai and a Strange Ambassador. :/Dammit. It's not too late to make a bid on that Kunai, is it? The only Strange weapons I have to offer for the trade are an Eyelander, a Syringe Gun, and a Shotgun. The good thing about the Shotgun is that it is shared by 4 different classes.
Dammit. It's not too late to make a bid on that Kunai, is it? The only Strange weapons I have to offer for the trade are an Eyelander, a Syringe Gun, and a Shotgun. The good thing about the Shotgun is that it is shared by 4 different classes.Strafe, you make me really interested in that Strange Shotgun, seeing as the Gunslinger Enginees is one of the lost fun things ever and a have recently got better at aiming shotgun-ish weapons. But i would like to be as fair as possible, so first priority goes to Kyo.
Anyway, I've taken a liking to collecting Strange weaponry here lately. I like how the stats are tracked and how it gains more notoriety during the process. It give me more of an incentive to use the classes that I don't play as often.
If anybody stumbles upon a Strange Jag, Backburner, or Ubersaw that they don't want, I'll gladly offer whatever I can in exchange. I'd have more to offer, but I smelted most of my duplicate items before coming back to this thread. :/
Strafe, you make me really interested in that Strange Shotgun, seeing as the Gunslinger Enginees is one of the lost fun things ever and a have recently got better at aiming shotgun-ish weapons. But i would like to be as fair as possible, so first priority goes to Kyo.

But i would like to be as fair as possible, so first priority goes to Kyo.That's fine by me. The Strange Ambassador or Revolver would be just as good. :D The offer still stands.
Oh, by the way. I have a bonus copy of the original Portal1 to give. If anyone doesn't already have it2 just ask and we'll see what we can do.
1 That means NOT Portal 2. Only the first one with no Wheatley.
2 And why the hell wouldn't you have it yet. It's been on sale for free twice.
I will log on right now. Are you online?Sorry that i wasn't online, but i wrote that just before going to bed. I will try to gove you a poke when i see you online.
That's fine by me. The Strange Ambassador or Revolver would be just as good. :D The offer still stands.So you're interested in a Strange Revolver? Im kind of using the ambassador at the moment. :)
Sorry that i wasn't online, but i wrote that just before going to bed. I will try to gove you a poke when i see you online.So you're interested in a Strange Revolver? Im kind of using the ambassador at the moment. :)Sure! My Spy could use a Strange gun. I like the Enforcer, but that added de-cloak time is the death of me sometimes.
Enforcer is more suited to DR Spies anyway, as the extra time does not affect them at all.Indeed. I use that with my DR-YER spy :V
My armory of last-page spares is starting to build up again if anyone's looking for weapons. Have a S. Mad Milk and S. Degreaser in there, in terms of Stranges.Milk maybe, degreaser probably. Don't really have anything to trade for them, though. Anything you'd consider? (http://www.tf2b.com/?id=theshim)
I've renamed a good portion of my weapons, really. Mostly my Pyro stuff, but I have some of my favorites from each class renamed.Everything that I've got a duplicate of I'm willing to trade, and I'll chuck any crates you want your way.
...And there's actually quite a bit in there that I would be interested in. Those Series 19 and 20 Crates, a V. Scottish Resistance, a V. Skullcutter, a V. Wrangler, a V. Frontier Justice, a V. Gunslinger, a V. Southern Hospitality, and the V. Crossbow if you'd part with them. You have duplicates of all the vintages but the Crossbow, and I'd add plenty more to my offerings if you were interested. :getdown:
I want to rename my items too D:
Name tag is a scrap right?
Here's a quick run down of what just happened to me:AHAHAHAHAHA! How did they think they were going to win if they were all medics? :V What, did they uber each other at the same time too? Double uber would be very amusing to say the least.
-Join server
-Server mostly full of bots? Okay, I can live with that.
-Dr.Strafe must join RED, where the other five members of his team were all Medics, all focused on healing themselves in a pack.
-Dr.Strafe gets completely steamrolled.
oh yeah. -Ragequit.
If they were actual players, a Medic train would be the intended outcome. 2+ Medics with Mediguns and Ubersaws - one Ubers, the other attacks to gain Ubercharge, then switch quickly. Other Medics either do the same, add supporting fire with their Syringe Guns/Crossbow, or use supporting Ubers from Kritzkrieg or Quick-fix.SPY RUUUUUUUUUUUSH
If they were bots like in this case...:ohdear:
...next TF2 meetup, we should all play single-class only for a few rounds. :V
SPY RUUUUUUUUUUUSH
SPY RUUUUUUUUUUUSHI bet that the popular Enforcer + DR + YER will make up a plurality of the Spy loadouts amongst us here. Those that don't have it have Stranges. :V
As of the latest update, Your Eternal Reward now has a Strange version. I WANT IT.Oh hey, I finally have a reason to buy keys again :V
Oh hey, I finally have a reason to buy keys again :VI'm interested in both of those, more slanted toward the L'Etranger. The Stranges I have to offer are Syringe Gun, Eyelander, Fists, and 2 Degreasers. :V
EDIT: I have a Strange Brass Beast and Strange L'?tranger now available for trade. Only ones I'd actively look for are the YER (no Series 33 crates on me now), Enforcer (once that becomes available), Equalizer, and Axtinguisher.
I'm interested in both of those, more slanted toward the L'Etranger. The Stranges I have to offer are Syringe Gun, Eyelander, Fists, and 2 Degreasers. :VSure, I'll trade mine, and in exchange for the Eyelander and a Degreaser. :V Pricing wise (https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AnM9vQU7XgF9dFM2cldGZlhweWFEUURQU2pmOGJVMlE&gid=0), I believe it works as well (both groups of items are worth 1.33 ref on the open market).
Sounds good to me. Anything else on the last page on my Backpack interesting to you? I have another Stately Steel Toe that dropped for me, as well, if you're into wearing boots on your head. :VLink me thy backpack, and I shall see.
Link me thy backpack, and I shall see.Bam. (http://www.tf2b.com/?id=infernalexuro) Like I said, anything on the last page is fair game, along with the steel toe.
Only things I see that I want are the stranges. Say...half a dozen Vintages and the two crates for the two of them?Three crates actually - the two 19s and the 20. I can toss in a Reclaimed Metal and any weapons you don't have from my last page to help balance it out more, too.
Haha I love it when this happens this is like maybe the 3rd time I've done this :VSame thing happened to me the other day. I went and stabbed his teammate anyway.
Lol medic (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198048052017/screenshot/596955603827628947)
It's funny when they expect me to do something too when all i do is stare at them :V
Hey, if everyone is going ga-ga for stranges, maybe I can get some non-strange, but higher-class items (a la Tomislav, Sydney Sleeper, and the like) for cheaper! 8DThat's not exactly my goal with Stranges. I don't have anything to prove. I just like to have the counter to see how often and how well I use specific weapons. I don't really care about the other classifications.(Vintage, Genuine, etc.) Strange weaponry is about as "special" as I'll go with that.
I'm not terribly concerned with flaunting my kill-count on my weaponry, so I'd rather just have the guns that do what they're supposed to without making me feel like I'm flexing my e-peen at the same time :V
Three crates actually - the two 19s and the 20. I can toss in a Reclaimed Metal and any weapons you don't have from my last page to help balance it out more, too.Aight, toss on the Short Circuit and we've a deal. Poke me on Steam when you want to trade.
I really don't think the other team was trying hard enough. Even though is was just team deathmatch, 61-5 is not normal (http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/596956238288510440/CB8B22D541BF642C5FA07F1BF6A455CBF9CAFB33/)
Well it is a surf map and all :VEven so, that is far from normal.

Cubic, how do you get that console of yours? I have CommunityHUD but it only shows 6 people.
- Go to: [TF2 folder]\tf\resource\ui\addons
- Copy ScoreBoard_16.res to the ui folder
- Delete ScoreBoard.res
- Rename ScoreBoard_16.res to ScoreBoard.res
Even if you manage to fuck up on a step, TF2 will restore the default scoreboard. If it happens, try it again :V
Hah, is there a way to see someone's death counter?
I played around with my Strange Half-Zatoichi and got it to the 100-kill rank, but then I decided that I like the Persian Persuader more.
Anyone want? I want this hat (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Tough_Guy%27s_Toque) for it but I don't think that's a fair trade...
Ah well, to the trading forums I go~
Umm, when I try to use "start playing," it says it cannot find any games, but the servers over on "Browse Server" still loads with several results. How do I fix this?I'm getting this problem, too, except when I choose random.
I believe I haven't yet presented my new map here! (http://www.gamebanana.com/maps/161788)YES MORE VSH MADNESS

And it'll still be inferior to the Degreaser. Calling it now.
It's going to be terrible, or nerfed to hell and back until it is terrible.Golden rule of TF2: Pyro gets nothing. And if he does get something, it will be nerfed into nothing.

I think I can make that time.I'll take it then, I need something new to look at when playing battle Engie :V
Also, I have a non-genuine pip boy if anyone wants one. The green hurts my eyes, so BV
I'll take it then, I need something new to look at when playing battle Engie :V
Also, I don't have you on steam.I don't have you either - that would be helpful during TF2 meets for organization purposes.
I don't give things away for free. Be prepared to give something up :PSteam is on my siggy :P
Also, I don't have you on steam.
I'd like the Rifle, and possibly the Jarate. Don't have much to trade, though.I'll take a look, do you have a backpack link?
Exuro, you still want that trade, by the way?
That Half-Zatoichi and Equalizer look very nice, but I don't think I've much I can trade (feel free to look at my pack - duplicates and some hats are fine).2 Reclaimed? I'm not really a hat person unless they're part of a set.
I decided to blow some cash on keys, so if anyone wants to trade for any of the following, let me know:
2xStrange Bonesaw
Strange Sniper Rifle
Strange Jarate
Strange Half-Zatoichi
Strange Brass Beast
Strange Equalizer
2 Reclaimed? I'm not really a hat person unless they're part of a set.Price seems about right according to the TF2 item pricing guide, deal.
Only two stranges I have that I'm willing to trade are the Boston Basher and Syringe Gun. Are they something you'd trade for any of those?I'd take a Syringe Gun if there's anything left you want.
I'm interested in the Equalizer and one of the Bonesaws, as I have everything else on that list. Strange-wise, I can offer up a Degreaser, Fists, and a Syringe Gun. Alternatively, I can offer you keys. Everyone likes keys.EP wants the Equalizer, but I'd trade a Bonesaw and something (like metal or other items from my backpack) for a s.Degreaser.
I haven't played much this week, so I haven't gotten any of the fancy new crates. I should probably correct that. :V
I'd take a Syringe Gun if there's anything left you want.Well was going for the Equalizer but if that's taken then I guess I'll take the Sniper Rifle.
New wrench has...potential...but a) wonder how long it'll take to warp back, and b) means you'd better have your nest set. Still, in some maps, this could be very powerful.
EP wants the Equalizer, but I'd trade a Bonesaw and something (like metal or other items from my backpack) for a s.Degreaser.Disappointing, but understandable. I'll take you up on that deal for the Bonesaw.
I'd like the Rifle, and possibly the Jarate. Don't have much to trade, though.Still am, but I just can never catch you online. Steam's been acting up on me lately too and booting me off the connection, so it looks like I'm offline when I'm not.
Exuro, you still want that trade, by the way?
Still am, but I just can never catch you online. Steam's been acting up on me lately too and booting me off the connection, so it looks like I'm offline when I'm not.I'm online for the rest of tonight. If you get on, poke me.
Well was going for the Equalizer but if that's taken then I guess I'll take the Sniper Rifle.That's fine, I actually have two so I can trade you one and theshim the other.
Strange Razorback please.A scrap and it's yours (on Saturday).
- Fixed the Frontier Justice getting infinite critsSo good, no one will be exploiting this on Saturday. :D
So I got a Nice crate, but I got a Heavy lunchbox :(If you don't want it, I do have a Spy-cicle. :V
ah well, next time~
If you don't want it, I do have a Spy-cicle. :VLunch box for a spycicle? SURE!
Also, I need more reasons why building your sentry at your base (as engie) and taking it to the battle is bad. My idiot little brother just won't listen to me.
Lugging it from the spawn to the front line leaves you susceptible to Spies who are waiting for just that sort of thing, to come and stab you in the back while you're holding a Level 3 building.You usually take the building through a teleporter, which is much safer.
Not too many people tonight :(I guess they are waiting for a Christmas slugfest. Myself, I was more tired than expected so I left early on.
But good lord they made the Foundry achievements frickin' absurd.Indeed. I had to really work at getting Classassin in time. Get a kill, class-change suicide, run to get another kill, repeat. As for the Claim Jumper, and the Five in Five (or whatever it's called), I just relied on my Engineer skills
But good lord they made the Foundry achievements frickin' absurd.Definitely. Not surprised that a few servers are just on that map for achievement farmers, with admins angrily shouting at some players to stop hindering progress.
EDIT- Is it just me, or are players adamant (even demanding!) about getting the new Christmas stuff? This one guy kept badgering me constantly about my Spy-cicle. Like I'm giving that thing up, much less for a Dr. Grordbort's Crest. :V "I trade good stuff" my ass! Another guy kept spamming trades until I finally met with him. He didn't even want to trade. He just wanted me to GIVE him the Christmas stuff. Fuck that!This always happens after major updates. It also doesn't help that the items are either obtained with keys or crafted with the generic 'make class weapon' blueprints only.
Anyway, I discovered that some of the items within the Naughty Crates were Stranges. I saw one guy with a Strange Festive Sniper Rifle, to which I thought "oh man Strange Spy-cicle.. gotta have that one :3". But I guess only the Naughty crates have Strange variations. Interesting to have, but I'm not hurting for those.The Naughty Crates have a chance for Strange items. Stange Spy-cicle would be lovely, indeed.
Indeed. I had to really work at getting Classassin in time. Get a kill, class-change suicide, run to get another kill, repeat. As for the Claim Jumper, and the Five in Five (or whatever it's called), I just relied on my Engineer skillsedit- make that 5 done.on an empty server with idle bots.:V
I came sooo close to getting that one achievement where you win after your opponent attempts to capture your final control point. It was a long struggle, with a rather inept team. But we were managing to tilt the scales back in our favor. As we were rushing in to their final point, TF2 crashes. Oh, man.. Rage was flowin' through mah veins, it was.
Also, Agent. I keep forgetting to ask you about your Emerald Jarate (backpack for Medic). I am interested in trading you for that, but I'm unsure if you're willing to part with it.Ehe, I'm kinda attached to that item. It just makes the medic look cooler, so I'd rather keep it. Unless I happen to find another one if they come out next Halloween.....
I keep forgetting to ask you about your Emerald Jarate (backpack for Medic). I am interested in trading you for that, but I'm unsure if you're willing to part with it.I have an extra Emerald Jarate.
I have an extra Emerald Jarate.Is there anything in particular your looking for? Is there anything from my backpack (first two pages) that you might be interested in?
Is there anything from my backpack (first two pages) that you might be interested in?Nope. Might as well get rid of it anyway since they aren't even worth a scrap :V
The Mangler's a lot of fun to use. Great for anti-group attacks and for shutting down Engie nests for other teammates.The DH is better for sentries. Also, why discombobulate when you can kill?
Plus there is little that can beat discombobulating people :3
The DH is better for sentries. Also, why discombobulate when you can kill?Because you enjoy the fact that it takes 5-7 hits to destroy a mini sentry?
The DH is better for sentries. Also, why discombobulate when you can kill?Of course, of course, and thus I don't use the Mangler (more of a BB/Original user).
Just downloaded this, this game is fun.Welcome to Team Fortress 2, one of the best games ever made!
Though it would be better if you could run as fast as Doomguy.
hmmmmmm
People say, "Oh it's not OP because it doesn't have airblast." Horseshit. Unless you happen to be a pyro who knows how to airblast properly, you stand no chance against a pyro with a full charge.He can be killed after the taunt is completed, while he is taunting it is like having the DR damage reduction. If you couldn't kill a pyro (or stayed close enough to him that he was already in flamethrower range then you really need to learn to aim/play smarter, especially since you had a medic on you.
Do you know what does more damage than a crit flamethrower? The minigun at close range. And that is without critting. You should've been more than capable of killing him before he reached you.
Tried to craft a Phlogiston.

... Degreaser. Crafting is suffering. At least I unboxed a strange YER today, but my holiday crates have been nothing but Misc. slots.
Isn't the holiday stuff uncrate-only right now?It was, but now it can be purchased at will, among other methods.
I have a Phlogiston via random drop. Want it? What do you got?
I have a Phlogiston via random drop. Want it? What do you got?If you want anything from my backpack, just let me know. Relevant links should be in my signature.
Are there any servers you guys go to regularly ?Most of the time, I'll just let the auto-select find a server for me. Lately, I've just been joining servers that have a decent ping and amount of players. I'll play whichever map that the server has at the time, but every now and then, I get the urge to play specific maps. (more like when I want to escape Dustbowl..)
Also 14-1 as medic :derp: (http://i.imgur.com/WjVxY.jpg) (then I stopped playing)

To be fair, most people suck at deathmatching in TF2 surf. They should play more Serious Sam or Quake 3. FPSes for real men where everything that moves wants you to die, unlike little-babychild-CoD.Agreed there, definitely; shame most players now don't understand the FPS basics from those games.
My medic weapon loadout is complete. (http://i.imgur.com/Tnacf.jpg)That looks great! Now on to giving each Touhou names :V
Now I only need one of those shiny unusual medic hats and I never stop playing medic ever.
Stop being better than me darn it! >:(Play more, get more experience, improve, wipe the floor out. I suggest learning how to Puff & Sting as I've seen you W+M1 a lot going by the past few games. ^^
That looks great! Now on to giving each Touhou names :VWent on Eirin's page on the Touhou wiki (http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Eirin_Yagokoro) (because Eirin is the Medic) to get some ideas for names/descriptions
Crusader's Crossbow
- Kochoumugan / Butterfly Dream Pill
This will feel so good, you just may not wake up. Ever.- Artemis
Selenium is good for you! Large doses may kill you, however.
Medigun
- Game of Rising
Just like the game of life, but you live longer.- Hourai Elixir
A healthy dose of forbidden magic, since 100000 AC!- Lunar Incense
This fragrance is strong enough to drive men wild.
Amputator
- Omoikane's Device
You'll think more clearly when your brain won't have a body to control.
Opinions/ideas ?
Only as long as you promise to change that AC to either BC or AD, lolThis is a rare instance of checking something up on Wikipedia and not fact checking anywhere else, and possibly being wrong.

ALSO, I'll need 4 name tags and 3 description tags...Think I have a description tag loafing around, but we'll need to do the trade via the Steam Client, as I can't get in-game anytime soon.
See if there's anything you want in there (http://tf2b.com/?id=Gamecubic) (Just cleaned it up a bit)
:getdown:As a Demo player, I am SO...
Strange Festive Sticky Bomb Launcher for my first ever uncrating of a naughty crate.
My gosh, I opened the crates I could with those keys EP gave me, (2 series 27 crates, 1 nice, 1 naughty) and I got a Strange Bushwacka, Strange Sniper Rifle, The Holiday Punch, and Festive Sniper Rifle. Does the game want me to play as a sniper or something? I mean come on, having 3 versions of the Sniper Rifle (which includes the stock one) is :derp:.Good to know the keys were well put to use. (^-^)
EDIT: And to be even better, the main background is a sniper with a Festive Sniper Rifle. Talk about ironic. :V
Good to know the keys were well put to use. (^-^)Eh, I'll keep the Rifle, I'm better with it than a demoman anyway. :V
Want to trade that F. Sniper for a F. Stickybomb? (well, after I get back home as I'm out of town for the week :3)
Anyone want any crates? Got a naughty and a nice Im not going to use (I never buy keys) so they may as well go to someone who'll use em. I also went on the server for awhile and it was pretty empty for a long time. Should get a server tracker set up on here so people can see if anyones in while they're here. :VOur server is pretty much used for some events, like a weekend meet or stuff. There's never really anybody on it at all other times.

I'll liberate any crates that people don't want or need.
Eh, I'll keep the Rifle, I'm better with it than a demoman anyway. :V:Sniper Brofist: I unboxed a Festive Rifle a couple days ago, myself. It might not ever get used (as I love my Strange Rifle) but I like it as part of the collection. If only it was a Strange Festive...
I'm still waiting for my Strange Sniper trade :VMessage me sometime :V
