Canadian am still cry
I wish the Steam screenshots wouldn't turn out so jaggy. The images I take look way worse than what's in game. But I guess that happens with any screenshot you take.
And on Tuesday or Wednesday, the Rift preorder bonus ends, so we should be able to craft the Pyro lava axe and Scout stick this week.

Oh, new craftable stuff. I guess that means I shouldn't have crafted like 30 duplicate items yesterday.Forkball said:
And if you use something like Fraps, your screenshots should turn out pretty much identical to what's ingame. You can have Fraps save them as BMP, and then use a tool like IrfanView to convert them into 95% or better quality JPEGs.

The last ten minutes were hilarious, where they made fun of people named "Twig".Twig said:
...but no, as much as it pains me to agree with Twig about anything, it was not really funny and was kinda obnoxious and stuff. It's like, Family Guy with better art. :|
Plus, presumably someone on NeoGAF was trying to watch it at the same time as me so it kept freezing every minute and a half and I would have to reload.
They won't remove hats from the set bonus. Many people bought the sets when the Mann-Conomy patch dropped to get the bonuses. There'd be a huge uproar from those people if the hats were removed from the set.
I think the best solution would be to greatly reduce the cost to make the set hats and/or make the set hats drop much more frequently. Items that affect gameplay shouldn't be nearly as hard to acquire as the polycount hats are.

I think they should just make all hats that are required for a set bonus be craftable. I think the Polycount hats are already craftable... I'm not sure if any newer hats are required for set bonuses... Maybe they did learn their lesson.

You can always just trade for them. Back then you could get a Fez for 2 refined, although nowadays they sell for roughly 1 ref + 1 rec.

Asshole fucking medics who arn't interested in anyone but a fucking heavy can lick my balls. Heal the whole team you shit tramps.
Yeef said:
Learn something new everyday on GAF lol. I am guilty of doing this. I play a medic sometimes and will join the games people on my friends list are in and heal them. We win games that way, but I never thought that other people on the team would be annoyed by it. Those perfectly coordinated ubers and dedicated heals at opportune times wins games. And me and a friend coordinating via in game chat causes the other players on the team to cooperate also, pushing when we say we are and the like.
They're only annoyed if you just heal your friend while everyone else is on fire. Medics need to spread the love. But I can understand the frustration in having your Heavy die just because you leave him alone for a second.Cipherr said:
Medic healing Heavy: Wow, I'm getting so many assists!
Scout on fire with half health: HEAL ME
Medic: Ok, only for a bit though.
*HEAVY DIES*
But if you want to talk about annoying, how about Soldiers with Equalizers running past Medics to heal back at spawn?

I hate that with a passion. They don't even have to be pocket medics but rather medics who don't know how to use uber. Maybe I`m crazy but anytime there's a demo right there and all of the building are way in the back you shouldn't give it to heavy.
Also not being healed/past 50% is annoying but I understand you have other customers.
Well, ubering a whole different issue. It's pretty crazy how many medics don't realize that sentries target the enemies closest to them and the medic's faster speed means he's less affected by the knockback than the slow, powerful classes. When trying to uber down a sentry nest the medic should always go in first.Lionheart1337 said:

That's one of the nice things about the Amputator. You're very vulnerable for a moment (keep your back to a wall, and expect a Spy to run up and take wild swings at you hoping for a stab), but the AoE is pretty big, and the healing effect decent for covering such a large crowd. No Uber gained, but when you're team's pretty much a defense wall, it can be good to top everyone off simultaneously.

It annoyed me because I was Scout, had a slither of health left, and the Medic had plenty of time to heal me up. Sure, if it were in the thick of battle it might be a different problem, but it wasn't. I stood there, in front fo him, while the heavy and medic camped, and he just wouldn't spare the couple of seconds it would take to heal me, and benefit his uber.
So I had to treck and find some health, and ended up getting killed in the process.
As pretty much anybody will say, a good medic can be a game changer. Heal the whole friggen team. Be smart about it, of course, but if people are on fire or on the fringe of death it really doesn't hurt to heal them for a couple of seconds to give them a boost. It helps the entire team, and it stops me from raging.
It didnt help that this was happening in what was a legitimate contender for the worst match I ever had.

Sorry this is late and all but here are the temps:

@Yeef- You said to defrag using HLExtract, where do I go about doing that?
Also with only 15 other bots, the lags not as bad but it definitely still lags.

Those are really high temps. I wouldn't be surprised if it's your laptop preventing itself from overheating.

You can extract it to your steamapps folder then create a batch file with the following commands:
Code:
@echo off
for %%F in (*.gcf) do "HLExtract.exe" -f -p "%%F"
pause(you can just paste it into notepad and save as whatever.bat).

Right, sometimes a little lower for the others, but not usually the Fez. So where is he seeing them for 1 Refined + 1 Reclaimed?
What surprises me most about pocket Medics is the fact that your Uber count builds faster when you are healing others injured. Not only that, but overbuffing everyone around you makes yourself last that tiny bit longer during an encounter since your team will stand on their two legs longer.
I also try spreading out the Ubers as much as I can, especially if I'm the only Medic on the team. Yeah it might be sensible to Uber the top guy over and over again because he is getting the kills or assists, but it means nothing in situations where you need other classes or to simply scare away the opposition for a bit of a breather. Especially since this is just a game and everyone is here to ultimately have fun - everyone wants to cop an Uber to wreck shit; if they miss everything, so what? I'll build it up again.

Preorder items for buying games on Steam again.
Edit: Picture, from the Wiki but not implemented right yet. It's a headband, it apparently overlaps people's eyes, like in the promo image for Homefront:
Looks like it might be Soldier-only.
Yeef said:
I do this all the time, but the annoying thing is when the person I uber can't take out the sentry so I can absolutely flattened when the uber dies out.
Also, I guess I'm guilty of pocketing but that's usually just with my brother which I don't think anyone would mind if they knew, but my brother is good enough where I can still fulfill my duties to the entire team. Now, on a team with 16 people and 1 medic, don't get mad haha.
That homefront bandana looks really cool. I'm sort of tempted especially since it comes with Metro 2033.
If anyone ever hates their medic, feel free to call me into duty =p

It's a new soldier hat
It's currently untradeable, but genuine. I expect it will be added to the drop system as a regular soldier hat after the promo is over. There'd be no other reason why it would be genuine.
