Yep, I traded some random heavy hat for paint because I wanted to paint my Woopee Cap yellow.(._.) said:

The person who made the last paint update sent in new paint for practically all the new hats, so it's just waiting on Valve now.Showmeyamoves said:
Sure! Send me a message on Steam and I will get back to you today.Wolf Akela said:
This is my complaint about all 5-point maps. I forget how long it takes for a heavy to get from the back spawn to the middle point on 5gorge, but I feel like it's 40-60 seconds. Might be better now that the heavy has the sandvich or running gloves. Add on potential spawn times, and since it's a 5-point map presumably no one will have teleporters reliably outside where you actually spawn, and there's a looooot of travel time unless you're a scout.Borgnine said:
I don't even want to go above 2 hats. Maybe I should just buy 10 copies of TF2 next time there's a Steam sale and idle on them.ArtistDude88 said:So I just spent a good part of my afternoon trade server hopping, looking for the Big Kill. I kept running into 2 reoccurring things:
-No one on the server has one to trade.
-If you find someone who wants to trade one, they want crazy amounts of shit for it.
Makes me sad...
One time I put up 3 hats. One was vintage and got, "lulz how is dat evn a gud trade?!" *closes trade*
Like, seriously?
Maybe then I wouldn't care that much about trading 9+ hats for an item, because that's what everyone seems to want.

Heavies should be faster than anyone else, and preferably invincible. Scouts are the worst. My gun should have auto-aim when any scouts (especially named Yeef) come around.Yeef said:
At any rate, even if you're a normal speed class, it still takes a long time to get to the front. Borgnine wasn't talking heavy, was he?I explicitly mentioned why teleporters don't really help in my opinion, in that post.Drkirby said:
Since spawns bounce back and forth, unless you have 2-3 engineers, it seems that you are unlikely to have a teleporter entrance and exit where you need them.ArtistDude88 said:One time I put up 3 hats. One was vintage and got, "lulz how is dat evn a gud trade?!" *closes trade*

ArtistDude88 said:I have one... Have a spare Axtinguisher, Mad Milk, or Eyelander?
Yeef said:
Dante23 said:Damn, I had just minutes ago an extra Axtinguisher
I think that I have an spare Eyelander, let me check!
EDIT: Yep, one spare Eyelander
EDIT2: Now what are the next steps? do we have to find in any particular server? This would be my very first trade so I'm pretty much clueless.

Demoman has been nerfed quite a bit and is still overpowered.Proven said:
That's because they neutered the pyro. At launch the standard flamethrower did more damage than the current backburner does and there were far fewer ways to get rid of afterburn. The pyro did get the airblast in exchange for its big damage nerf, but since the airblast is hugely effected by latency it's a bit of a crap shoot. Since the airblast is reactionary your timing has to change based on your ping, which generally means you have to more of less guess when your opponent is going to shoot/throw something at you unless you're at long range. That's a whole different discussion though.
But at launch there were no payload maps and only 1 push map (dustbowl, which is an awful map). The game is very much designed around the symmetrical game types (ctf, 5cp) when it comes to classifying the classes. Obviously the game has changed a lot since then, but I think it's important to keep the class roles to their original classifications to maintain balance.
That's true of payload, but only because the cart works as a moving dispenser which means Heavies can stay spun up and not worry much about health or ammo. In non-payload game types heavy is all about find a choke point and holding it, not advancing. In an evenly matched game you're not going to have heavies being the first to push a point or capping the intel.
I've already expressed my dislike of the GRU and the Fists of Steel. Suffice to say, I completely disagree, I think they very much hurt game balance. I don't see how they 'speed up the game' since all they do is make the heavies faster. Demos and spies are better at taking out sentry nests and in general on non-payload maps heavies aren't nearly as necessary for pushes.
Which is why I don't like the fists of steel. The sniper rifle is balanced in such a way that it can 1-shot any class if your aim is true and you wait for the charge. With the fists of steel that means it's possible to spot and non-ubered enemy that can't be killed. It sets the Heavy up in such a way that the only class he has to worry about while he's traveling is spy. Any other class will have to get in close to melee where the heavy can immediately do a bait and switch and deal his insanely high close range minigun damage. Basically, I feel like the Heavy used to be a high risk high reward class, but now it feels more like a low risk high reward class.
I haven't followed the development of Toy Wars very much, but I wouldn't be surprised if they changed it up a lot. It got tons of flak for being a TF2 rip-off when the trailer first released like 2 or 3 years ago. I think it's less about the class-specific roles and more about the weapon choices and how they handle.Charron said:
