I care a lot about hats. Even playing the Soldier more than ever only to show off my medal.
And you know, people can justify the idler as much as they want, but using a third party program to obtain items without even being in the game always sounded questionable at best.
MisterAnderson said:
What we have here is a blanket statement full of WRONG.
I can do it too!
All those people that used the idle program? They were just obsessed with getting all the hats as quckly as possible and clearly have issues that stem from a childhood trauma that made them the way they are today.

i honestly don't care about the hats, but now that I have one and the cheaters dont, it does amuse me.
Blizzard said:ARGH, my backpack is full except for one slot...and I don't have ANY nataschas. I thought I had like three duplicates, but I guess I accidentally deleted it somehow? And of course I can't earn it back, so now I have to wait weeks until I maybe get it randomly.
I have a couple extra. If only we could trade.

Being able to sort the backpack now is really nice. I have all the unlocks for each class in it's own column, with the slot 1 items first and the slot 3 items last
There's 10 columns, 1 for each class and then a 10th for hats, medals, halos, etc. Having everything perfectly organized pleases the lightweight OCD in me oh so sweetly

Just got back into TF2, so much fun. Ive got some pocket watch for a Spy I doubt I will ever use, wish I got some more Medic stuff, I did get some new saw which is nice, but I dont get enough chances to use it. How do I go about earning Medic things?
Edit: and why do people want more than 1 of something? Just to trade?

I'm amused there are still spies out there who are wearing the halo (Where's the patch, Valve?)
Less amused by the false halos sometimes appearing on my screen. I've had halos shadowing me 4-5 times now where there was nothing there. Not great thinking you're being stalked by a spy and firing shots galore at empty air. Got me killed the first couple times. Now if it doesn't die immediately, I ignore it.

Currently, there's really no reason to keep dupes, but months and months ago Valve mentioned something about allowing a trading system with the items, but who knows. Sometimes you'll get a drop with a level higher than it usually is which might be worth holding onto. But besides a different number listed there's no difference between the two.
And there are class-specific achievements to unlock weapons instead of waiting for random drops. Generally there are 36 or so for each class and roughly every 8-10 achievements or so you'll unlock a new weapon. So the best way to get Medic weapons is to just keep playing Medic. And wear a Halo if you have it! Supposedly it increases the drop rate of things.

You seem to forget that the idler did not increase your chance of getting extremely rare items. Valve even made a statement saying that.
LAUGHTREY said:
Oh I really don't care, I didn't lose anything at all since I got all of the items "properly" and if I had the Halo I never would wear it anyway. I just think labeling people who idle as cheaters is the most ignorant thing I've ever heard. Whether I had used the idler or not I would think Valve handled this situation very poorly. I'm all for them doing something about a 3rd party program if they were against it, and if they asked players to stop using it I wouldn't have touched it for sure. But the fact that they let it go on for so long without even making an issue about it besides Robin saying that it doesn't make anyone get a hat any faster, which reinforced the idea that they didn't really care, was just senseless and stupid of them.
All in all I don't really care and was just expressing how poorly I feel that Valve handled the situation. I will also argue to the death to anyone claiming that staying in a spawn point is "cheating." There are no boundaries in the game that are being broken, and no moral difference between having your computer running overtime running TF2 to do this or a 3rd party program (in fact you're saving energy doing the latter, so it is arguably morally better
). I understand that Valve is against 3rd party programs, but do you realize how foolish it is that they wasted resources getting rid of this TERRIBLE idle problem, instead of say, fix the real problem that is their drop system which led people to idle in the first place? Or, how about punishing the use of the 3rd party achievement programs? If anything is cheating, it's that.

I moved the Halo onto just my best classes. (And off Spy/Sniper for reasons noted in this thread. I also took it off demo because it seemed like it showed better than my character when sticky jumping up on areas and trying to move slightly out of sight lines.)
I had two people say something similar. I just said "scoreboard" and I had like six times the points he did and wound up with the winning cap on the map. (Was Medic.)
Keeping it on the Soldier even though I'm meh with him, just because I like having both it and the medal. For those people who take this game too seriously.
Although I'm against punishing the idlers. Would've just gave the halo to non-idlers and not taken away anything.

hey guys in seven days i'll be back in america and i can play again
WHO'S EXCITED TO SEE ME PLAY AGAIN?!?

Actually I think my motherboard killed itself literally the day before I left for Japan so I may not be able to play after all. ): My compputer just wouldn't turn on, at all!!
Yeah, lets get off this crap. Has anyone heard anything else about the changes the professional community are pushing to bring into the game? I can't imagine the Sandman was the only thing Valve came out of that with.
I'd really like to see an upgrade update soon. Fixing multicore and performance issues, and adding new functionality to existing items. Syringe Gun, your time has come.

Man, I would love that. Currently I'm only using one processor core, and I'd love to see how my computer performs on both (it crashes if I try to enable multicore currently).
As for gameplay changes, I definitely think the engie needs a buff of some sort. Personally, I don't understand why it takes so long to make a sentry, when it takes so little to take it out. It kinda forces the engie to be a defensive character. I admit, sometimes sentries can be very destructive, but the majority of times I've played, people just brush them away with ease.
It'd be cool if the medic's bonesaw and syringe gun got some attributes tied to them, to kind of compliment his unlocks.
I'd love to see the heavy get a speed increase when using his melee weapons, though I don't think it should drain his health, maybe the speed boost should drain itself and have to recharge like Sniper's Jarate.
Personally, I feel Bonk needs some sort of ...tweak. It's useful if you want to get past enemy fire or distract a sentry, but not many people use it. It'd be great to see it become a more useful item.
Orellio said:
That is actually a really awesome idea... Never thought of that. Or maybe the engie could get an item that heals buildings at a distance...? Maybe that's a bit too much, haha.
Ysiadmihi said:
I really don't think that would be the case, an ubercharged soldier/pryo/demo can pretty easily take out sentries as of right now.
Won said:
Ubercharges take less time to charge than an engie building a level 3 sentry and level 3 dispenser. Plus, they're much easier to get because you just have to find a target and keep the medigun on them, compared to the engie, where you have to keep finding metal and look around for spies or demomen, or other threats.
All new engineer weapons should be different things to build. Not different types of guns, but just plain different things.Capndrake said:
I liked the oil slick I heard earlier.
Too much potential to waste it on a wrench that makes things build faster. ):<
If you recall, my motherboard was shitting the shit before anyway.fallout said:
But I can't remember what it was doing... I think it was the completely random blue screens.
Well since they changed the scout, your defense options are basically to slow them down (with an uber or invincible scout in their path), or knock them in the air (pyro, demo, soldier MAYBE). That's not really a lot of options, since the physically-blocking thing hardly ever gets used and only really works if they're in a corridor, I'd say.Ysiadmihi said:

Hey, Blizzard? So you're a gaffer as well?
What I usually do to protect sentries if all parties are working together
I'm a heavy with medic buff by medic
engie is nearby to fix sentry
Uber heavy/soldier comes and i just soak up some of the damage and move back before I die. sentry takes some damage, but I just go up and soak some more when I get my health back.
Tho if a demo comes and he knows what he's doing then you're all fucked
