Damn, I have the Zatochi but not the charge. Maybe I can craft one...
no actual blueprint for it unless you wanted to do the token thing which gives you a shot at a sticky jumper as well.

I can give you a tomislav (for free). Got a spare one from my idlers. I'll have a full list of what spares I have later tonight and hand them out to people on the server. Can we keep the server password protected tonight too?

Yeah, we'll keep the password on for a little bit.

Oh yeah I would trade my riding crop or the new soldier boots for a quick fix or Tomislav as well since it looks like I may need to wait a bit to craft the new demoknight set

So how about getting another server? This update has brought many other gaffers that didn't play much. Like I said, I can donate for a good cause.

Or maybe just use the server for more than the 2 or 3 hours a day we do now. I don't see why we need a 2nd server when the one we have now is empty 90% of the day.
 
Ugh the wave of new players has creeped into my favorites. This one Medic didn't know how to activate his Uber.

Demoknights EVERYWHERE. My favorite was when I got killed by one and he started talking shit to me. Yeah bro, you're real hardcore.

Maybe. I played in pubs today, I joined a server where watime was playing, and let's say there's an alarming number of players that don't know what the fuck they are doing.

I backstabbed 4 Heavies on a cart, and none of them looked back (one of the heavies flew), and there was an engineer with no buildings in our team. =|

If it keeps like that, I'll play only on the GAF server.

Yeah I was just playing on F7.. being against the noobs is great fun, but on the 2nd map I guess I got stuck on the team with all the new players and it was like pulling teeth. 6 heavies, no demos, 2 medics that only healed 1 person each to the detriment of the rest of the team, no engies, and maybe a third of the team bothering to push the cart at all. It was pretty intolerable :( Hopefully things settle back down in a week or so.

I am no great medic or anything, but trying to play a competent Medic on a Pub server is possibly the one thing that will make you hate this game.

It's just like.. when a demoman is right next to you with 8hp, you can afford to not heal that heavy for two seconds you know? He's slow, he has 450hp, he's not going anywhere.
 
I'm so glad I hoarded katanas for no reason. Crafting the Persian Persuader felt very cheap (2 katanas + 1 scrap). It's an AMAZING demoknight sword, even better than the katana imho.

Hey Yeoz, I know you said no more requests, but can I call dibs on that winger? :D

I have all of the weapons minus the 2 pairs of boosts, the bust and the winger. Didn't have the jarate from the bust and the other three didn't seem worth the crafting cost. Hopefully I'll get them via drops.

I got an overdose and an enforcer as a drop, so when i was done crafting everything I had enough left over to make two hats. Got a Medic Pouch and a Crocleather Slouch.

Also, got this from Forkball. <3

My complaints are focused more on the stupid class selection (6 snipers? really?) and that you never get a group together so you either end up with no one to heal or having to buddy up with someone on their own instead of having a stable of bodies to heal.

Sure, it's yours. Anyone else on my friend's list who wants anything, just shoot me a message over on steam.

Hey guys, I'm still looking to get one hat per class. I've got a Spartan helmet and a Hotrod for trade.

Still need neato hats for the following classes:
Pyro
Heavy
Sniper

Hey Yeoz, I know you said no more requests, but can I request other weapons anyway? </trollmode> :p

Requests aside, the main weapons that I think will be good besides the heavy gun are the spy pistol, the soldier rocket/shotgun/whip, the medic healgun, and the demo stuff. Plus the sniper rifle for very good snipers.
 
They need to nerf the Heavy first. The only thing keeping every Payload round from being a literally unstoppable Heavyfest was that Heavys are dumb and boring to play. Now that they have the Tomislav, the problem with Valve's "take away all the Heavy's weaknesses so the easy-to-play class is stronger than the harder-to-play ones," strategy is apparent.

I've got a pyro beanie if you'd like. I wouldn't mind having that Hotrod.

Snipers and Spies man...Snipers and Spies. Heavy's worst nightmare. I swear to god Inkwell has me swearing and insisting he uses black magic every time I play Heavy and he is on.

Any of you guys have new series crates (19-21) you don't want? I could use 3.
Man, the Strange weapons makes opening the new crates actually pretty sweet. No matter what you're gonna get something cool in those.

I rarely see unstoppable heavies. Maybe Sciz or n0b were really hard to kill but they hardly ever play anymore. Nearly unstoppable demomans seem more common to me, plus now they have the air dash cancel under-6 second charge stuff to play with.

Just lobby for pyro boosts and you won't have to worry about heavy so much. Make all classes overpowered :D

Has anyone tried any of those new paints that are a variation of "Team Spirit"? Those look awesome! I might buy one since they aren't $5.00 like TS was.

Edit: Lol wow beaten
 
I came to the conclusion that Saharan Spy ain't for me, who wants to trade another Spy hat for a Familiar Fez?

I'll leave my ID just in case...ltcoheng.

My first five drops post-patch, for whatever statistical merit it's worth:

Flare Gun
Tomislav
Crate Series #21
Family Business
Winger

I have about 18 refined total plus a bunch of extra weapons. (3 accounts + double drops is delicious!)

Ceebs said:
Does anyone have any idea what those new team spirit looking paints are?
They're alternate colors for team spirit. (More vibrant, more saturated, etc.) All multi-team paints are broken right now though, and only show up in red. Hatless hats are broken too and just show the default hat.

They also, sadly, made the planeswalker goggles a misc. item. Not I can't use them with my essential accessories. Here's hoping they make them wearable in either slot or give us a second misc slot. :\

I was so not talking about anything from last night :). I was just bitching in general.

I got the booties as a drop. That's good since it's the most expensive recipe. Now I just need the mantreads, the bust and the winger to have everything.

Also, new medic taunt is awesome.
