    This is the first update where I feel disappointed.
  • edited December 2010
    I looked at the update and went huzzah. Too many medieval tf2 sessions go terribly when someone decides to play as the magic warlock with sentry guns and shotguns.

    - All the holiday themed items appear to be crate-only, and the crates contain stuff that isn't holiday themed.

    This, I only had one festive crate and said "what the heck" and bought the key, I got heavy boxing gloves. New ones though that add more damage if you melee those who are using nonmelee weps and are weaker against people using melee weps.
    EDIT:Man I hope valve releases recipies for the new set weps, I want the medic ones bad
    EDIT2:Ok It looks like 2 reclaimed, and one class item is to get these new set ones. I only have 2 reclaimed so i can get one now, hmmm.

    Meh, this last update made me break up with Valve lol
    Since the Mannconomy they went from 'Awesome' to 'Really Lame', god the outrageous and unfair prices, especially for europeans plus the 'Pay to Win' strategy.. such a bummer. Also, every time I wear earbuds or Max Head there's someone begging me to trade them away.. in a very annoying and stupid way, even if I decline politely -_- I don't enjoy the game anymore (it was my favorite videogame).

    I won't play TF2 Beta, I'm too mad at Valve and if they continue on this path I won't support them ever again.

    So, I'm all yours Telltale! <3

    I don't know if anyone else has ever experienced something similar to this, but when Seibert got a Holy Mackrel drop, he suddenly turned invisible. I have proof (The first pic is the screenshot you get of the person who just killed you):

    2edy4j6.jpg

    and...

    inby3r.jpg

    As you can see in the above picture, he has the symbols above him indicating that he is talking, but he isn't shown himself. I requested him to make that symbol appear, so that is my proof. Hopefully he'll back me up. In other words, I didn't photoshop this. I wouldn't even know how to.

    So has it happened to anyone else?

    Steam just started its holiday sale, including the Valve Complete Pack for $49.99, The Orange Box for $14.99, or Team Fortress 2 for $9.99.

    Lag will cause people to vanish to you until you start and stop a demo recording (in the console, record blah; stop)

    it is true, he did say i was invisible to him,he had to make me keep talking to fight me

    Why does it have to be two reclaimed now? I have been saving up metal to craft a poly hat.
  • edited December 2010
    Yeah the holy mackral was screwed up in this. I cant use it at all now because it just looks wrong.

    I have no idea what a demo recording is. (I really must be sounding like the thickest person in the world regarding this game by now). Either way, he became visible again. I hope it doesn't happen again. It's really hard to kill an invisible person who is smacking you with a fish. <.<

    Today's update added crafting recipes for the Candy Cane, Back Scratcher, Buffalo Steak Sandvich, Claidheamh Mor and the Boston Basher... and they're sane, only requiring two weapons to make. Hopefully they'll cut back on the 2 reclaimed + weapon recipes as well.

    Glad I didn't craft any of my weapons away then.

    Still... none for the Jag?

    Do you want the Jag?
    I have one to trade, I prefer the the other engie wrench, the one with the bleed effect.
    Plus I dont think the jag works.
    I heard the whole buildings are faster doesnt work.

    Actually, I found its recipe after posting that... Fists of Steel also has recipe that wasn't mentioned.

    In fact, those two are two of the simplest item recipes I've seen lately... 2xScrap Metal plus Southern Hospitality for Jag, 2xScrap Metal plus G.R.U. for Fists of Steel.

    Oh man, thanks didn't know about that! Niiiice! There's still hope XD maybe one day I'll try it, probably when the whole 'new update' crazyness is out of the way and I'm less mad at Valve heh.

    Btw, just out of curiosity, did the Shortstop/Milk/Bushwacka/Black Box ever drop for you guys? They never did for me and 7 of my friends, I smell something fishy lol (I know I can craft them but I don't want to XD).

    Let me see.
    Shortstop crate(back when they were new)
    Black boc crate(once again they were new and I wanted to try it)
    Bushwaka crafted.
    Milk Traded.
    Nope.
    But I did get the new medic weapon through the drop system/
  • edited December 2010
    All items drop, the Sticky and Rocket Jumpers have the lowest drop rate, though.

    Yup, but I meant 'I'm kinda sure their drop rate is lower than the other Poly weapons' seriously even Gman5852 had the same problem. I had like 12 degreaser, 6 holy mackrel, 8 darwin shield, 5 GRU, 6 vita-saw, 5 battalion's backup, 1 eternal reward, 2 etranger, 1 sydney sleeper, 1 powerjack... same problem with my friends a lot of degreaser/darwin shield but no traces of Shortstop/Milk/Bushwacka/Black Box... I mean c'mon, there must be something wrong! XD

    I've gotten drops of 3 of those, but not the Mad Milk. In fact, I still have two extra Bushwackas and an extra Shortstop in my inventory now.

    lol, no, the drop system seems to think I need Vita-Saws... I've got 1 for my use, 2 I crafted together for a scrap metal when I needed it, 1 I traded away, 2 I crafted to get a token to get a Kritzkrieg to get a Candy Cane, and 1 extra one sitting in my inventory now.

    My second highest dropped weapon recently was the L'Etranger. I had 4 of those at one point... kept one, traded one, and crafted the other two for scrap.

    the drop system is totally fair people you just need to idle and not worry about it

    Doesn't help any more. Not since they capped the drop rate.

    One thing I don't like about the drop system is that hat drops now seem to be influenced by the hats you get from crates.

    Why would you want that, if you miss you get a bleed effect on yourself. Too big of a risk if you ask me.
    Although I would love to face one of those scouts in a melee fight. I would so win.

    Why would I want it? To collect every weapon? To have fun?

    I play at the most 2-3 hours a week. This means I only get 3-4 drops, so Idling allows another 7(1!) drops. I recently crafted a Demo hat from drops since September.

    That's hardly organized. I'm so OCD, I have 2 pages for weapons, 1 page for metal and spare weapons, 1 page for crate, 1 page for event/promo hats and 1 page for regular hats. And the pages themselves are organized too.

    You sure you're out-OCDing me? ;) Not only do I have one of every weapon in the game, but my 8-page backpack is organized in a very specific way.

    Page 1 is partly organized in mine, it's just not obvious...
    Rows 1 and 2 are for crafting
    Row 3 is items needed to craft the new items added in Tuesday's patch on the left, Vintage extras on the right.
    Row 4 is Polycount/Australian Christmas extras.
    Row 5 is non-tradeable store promotion items (for crafting) on the left and paints on the right.

    Page 2 is reserved for overflow from crafting stuff, crates, dueling games, and keys. Oh, and the 23-gift pack I'm opening on OCReMix BLU Saturday.

    Pages 3-7 are ordered with each column having a specific item type, starting with Scout Primary weapons, then Scout secondary weapons, Scout Melee weapons, Scout Hats, and Scout Misc/overflow from hats in positions 3 and 4. Repeat for the other 8 classes. Sets in the bottom row. This goes through the first half of page 7.

    The other half of page 7 is all-class items:
    Column 1 is generic all-class hats, Column 2 is L4D/L4D2 hats, Column 3 is Holiday hats, Column 4 is non-tradeable hats, Column 5 is Misc items.

    Page 8 is currently empty.

    P.S. I'm so OCD I had to buy a Backpack Expander to get more pages to do this. Likely I'll buy two more backpack expanders in the future and move it so pages 3-11 are one class per page, with page 12 used for all-class items.

    Double Drop Rate week starts tomorrow and goes through the 30th!

    Also, Miss Pauling apparently is going to be giving us stocking stuffers... which is a Stocking Stuffer Key that will open either a Festive or Normal crate.
  • edited December 2010
    For some reason, TF2 keeps saying I have to download larger then normal updates every update. And before TF2 wasn't booting, and then I had to delete it and copy the files back on from an earlier backup... And when I was playing, I had terrible lag, every 5 seconds I got stuck on one spot while everyone else could move... It's like they really don't want me to play anymore.

    But when I could play, I loved being a medieval medic. The +1hp regen rate is quite awesome for surviving things, but you need it; you have to give up the handy-in-a-pinch ubersaw or the fallback vitasaw. I don't see why they didn't just buff the bonesaw taunt, though so it would heal teammates, and maybe make the amputator do something different.

    Finally, even though the Blighted Beak misc item clips through most medic hats, I still think it's worth getting for the amazing combinations just below this sentence:

    Ok now this truly is an act of fan service. They complained about a drop so this week valve will fix it, they complained about keys so valve gave us a key(which Ill use on my next crate whether festive or not)
    but the spuf is still mad.
    "Thanks valve 6 sandmen really helped"
    "dont use the keys it is just to get us hooked into buying more"
