Got my first reflect kill today, on a demo grenade. It also killed me because we were right next to each other but FEELSGOODMAN.

Honestly, even if I die, i always like to know that I took the guy down with me, so in the end no one really wins (unless it was me trying to capture) :V

This here, my friends, is Caber 101 (except you still win with the caber because, Ka-BEWMMm!) Also according to the wiki the Volcano Fragment (sorry about the typo :/) isn't lighting people on fire. What the f**k is going on Valve? Did someone crap on the item servers?

Esifex · « **Reply #636 on:** April 19, 2012, 07:14:52 AM »

The Axtinguisher isn't supposed to light people on fire. It deals critical damage to already-lit targets :derp:

Yeah, you're thinking of the Sharpened Volcano Fragment, that's the one that lights them on fire.

I like this very much. *evil laughter*

So hitting a teleporter grants an uber charge fill. That seems pretty legit. :\

Also, (this could go on the other thread but whatev) Strafe and I were having some trouble connecting to the MotK server today. He had TF2 freeze up when he tried, and I had that too, along with Steam completely crashing in the process. Happened quite a few times. (on Mac, so map downloads didn't work too, as expected) Don't know what was happening there. Took me like 10 or 15 minutes to actually get back on.

Freyband · « **Reply #640 on:** April 20, 2012, 05:24:53 AM »

Finally got my Hero's Tail (Outpost reaaally sped things up, thank god). Now I just need another rec or more so I can start trying to get the After 8 paint I'm planning on putting on it. If ya want any weapons on page 5 of my backpack, a crate on page 6 (there's only one at current times notice), or a ~~VintageKGB/Sandvich/fryingpan~~, then I'd be willing to toss pretty much any of those off for about a scrap (or a craftable weapon on the crate).
Also did anyone else notice item drops being... sparse this week? I got maybe 4 drops then I've gotten nothing after about another 5 hours of play time.

Dr.Strafe · « **Reply #641 on:** April 20, 2012, 05:41:01 AM »

Sure, Freyband. I'll liberate that Frying Pan off of you.

i loved TFC... i would still play it if there were still people playing it =(. i tried TF2 (bought orange box), it was ok. i completely stopped right around they started added hats and new gear.

i love being engineer ^^.. gotta take care of my turret.

Agent of the BSoD · « **Reply #643 on:** April 20, 2012, 04:43:39 PM »

I hear that there are still people that go on TFC servers. Not much, but they're still there. I don't have that game though (yet) so I'm not certain. I was thinking of getting it just for the heck of it, and it'd probably run leagues better on this piece of junk than TF2. I believe the original TF used the Quake engine, but I'm not sure what Valve did for TFC, unless it's still Quake.

DX7.EP · « **Reply #644 on:** April 20, 2012, 04:56:05 PM »

TFC used GoldSrc, which is based off the Quake engine.

However, the two play considerably differently. Expect a high difficulty curve to get into that from the TF2 end - lots of conc-jumping, det packs, incendiary rockets, caltrops, complex disguise/feign death systems, infection, portable medkits, etc. that TF2-based players will get immediately lost on.

Last time I played TFC there still were quite a few servers playing it, though nothing compared to CS 1.6 or even CZ.

I'll take the Sandvich - been using this dirty one for too long. :V

Send me a trade request when ready - just make sure I'm not 'Online/away on Mobile Device' first; can't trade on my phone.

Seems a bit low this week, yeah.

Amraphenson · « **Reply #645 on:** April 20, 2012, 05:23:30 PM »

Quickfix and kritz has a major weakness, imo. Any setup not involving generic medigun does: huge amounts of burst damage. If the enemy team pops another kritz on soldier or a demo or a sniper gets a bead on you, neither quickfix nor kritz will save you from the instant kill. Not to mention spies.

alucard13mmfmj · « **Reply #646 on:** April 20, 2012, 07:25:17 PM »

theres drops in TF2?...

DX7.EP · « **Reply #647 on:** April 20, 2012, 08:14:14 PM »

Yeah. Every week, depending on how often you play, items ranging from crates and weapons to full-out hats and other materials will be dropped to you. There is a cap on how many drops you get (crates being the exception, since those need store keys to use), but if you have extra drops from one week they'll roll over to the next one, resulting in more drops to make up for lack of play.

Feel free to play a few rounds with us to get back into shape! (also recommending the Fortress Forever mod for TFC-style)

Dr.Strafe · « **Reply #649 on:** April 21, 2012, 08:38:42 AM »

Just going to elaborate more on the drop system.

Each week, (Thursday-Thursday, may be earlier depending on where you live) each player gets an 11 hour window in which they get a chance to get new items dropped after they die in game. Like EP said, it can be a new weapon, hat, or tool (or crates) within the game. It is random what you get, and sometimes you get very lucky. Your drop chances fluctuate depending on your average playtime, but the drops only occur within that time window. If you didn't use up the 11 hours within that week, any time left will be added to your next week's time. This way, you don't have to play at least 11 hours a week. The rollover will continue to accumulate if you take a break from the game. Valve makes sure that everyone that plays gets the same amount of drop time no matter how often they play the game.

Some people capitalize on this by going to "Idle Servers", where their character will continuously die over and over. Since you only get your new items after you die, the repeated deaths increase your drop chances during the time window.

Personally, I just play the game normally. Any drop, whatever and whenever it is, is appreciated. Now, if only I could obtain that elusive Crate #40... :V

Esifex · « **Reply #650 on:** April 21, 2012, 09:45:48 AM »

I've actually gotten two items off a death, once, by simply not dying for a very long time. Came up for air after a messy death and suddenly two items!
I forget what they were, as it happened a while ago and I haven't played in forever, but I bet it was a Huntsman or a Razorback, or both, and maybe some Gunboats. Nothin but crap drops for a looooooooooooooong time.

Dr.Strafe · « **Reply #651 on:** April 21, 2012, 12:14:53 PM »

I've had that happen before too. However one was a normal drop, and the other was an unlocked weapon from a Milestone...

DX7.EP · « **Reply #652 on:** April 21, 2012, 12:32:06 PM »

That's happened multiple times for me on normal play.

On idling, however, it works somewhat differently. Many times people will get a boatload of items at once, despite dying very often. This is because you only really get items after getting the 'New item found!' screen, and idlers often leave their systems in TF2 for hours on end while doing other things. Result is that the New item screen can have several entries at once.

Messiah · « **Reply #653 on:** April 21, 2012, 04:07:26 PM »

That oftern occurs to me since the drop system is reseted when I am going to bed, so I let my tf2 open and when I wake up there is a shitload of items :V

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

Gonna be selling my V Lugermorph, putting it up on here to see if anyone wants it before tf2outpost. Part of my Aya set, if anyone cares about the tags.

Looking for around 7~ keys, or equivalent in metal, which is about 17 refined.

EDIT: Sold it for 7 keys.
