I want a strange pain train, how much are they going for?
Yeah. I think despite what people thought before, they do count as normal drops. Most likely have something like a 15% change of dropping.thefil said:Do crates stop dropping after your item limit too? I was only able to get two of the new crates.
We are boring? I play Demo all the time with vanilla weapons. Hmm.. let's see, would I rather be killing with ordinary, unchanging weapons? Or maybe I'd like to have rank-up weapons so there is something to work towards while I play vanilla Demoman. Which option is more "boring" of the two?Yeef said:
Besides, I don't use bad weapons so the pain train is useless for me.

I usually run mostly vanilla demo, although I'll swap out the melee weapon for the Caber or occasionally the Pain Train

Oh, thanks. I definitely saw a few announcements on that regard during yesterday's matches.Evlar said:

Best demo is Chargin' Targe (or the new shield), Caber and Grenade Launcher/Loch-n-Load.
Do you have a tendency to collect every star on your favorite platforming game?
How about smashing through every billboard to get that special carbon edition of the best car around?
Do you spend hours and hours doing failed one-frame link combos to get all the titles and icons in that crappy update of a game featuring the trolling twins?
Well, if you also like TF2, you should check out TF2LS and start your journey on collecting every goddamn weapon and hat this infernal game offers. This is a godsend for me since for the last two days I've been in a trading frenzy to collect all of the available weapons in this game right now...
I hate you SO MUCH, VALVE. Also, here's my money. Again. D:

Is a strange eyelander worth anything?
At the moment, yes (In reality, it is likely a proper price, since I am not seeing any moving at the 1 rec 1 ref price)Baha said:
I still think in a weeks time the "hard to kill with"/unused weapons will be going for 1 reclaimed each. (So GRU and Pain Train)
Shotguns will stay high for a while, but will come down steadily, since it will be in 4 crates, making it the most common in the end. The things to look out for are stuff like the Rocket Launcher and Mini-gun, since if the current series of crates gets killed next week or something, they will stay high in price. (Valve Killed Series 10 though 12 one week after release, and 13 to 15 two weeks after release)
You have things like Series 9 crates which dropped for 3 months though, which really brought the value of paint down. I wonder if Valve may be tricky and eventually add strange weapons to drops too.
They are both equally boring, but the second is more annoying since it shows a lack of creativity and spams the announcement windows with kill upgrades on a weapon that's easy to get kills with to begin with.Dechaios said:
This is exactly what I'm talking about. Using a 'strange' weapon that you're going to use anyway is boring. Using a strange weapon that's hard to use is much more exciting and interesting.Dechaios said:
Pfft. I don't care about hats and I already have all non-reskin weapons in the game except for the bust (for which i just need 1 more jarate).Chavelo said:

I've already beaten your game!
BTW, I really wanna play with you guys over at the GAF server, but I guess due to the F2P move, everytime I try to join the server is always full.
Also, does anyone have a spare Bushwacka, Claidheamh Mòr, or Fan O'War that they're willing to trade for? D:
Ha, that's awesome. The one thing I said to myself not to start doing once the item trading started is the one thing I'm mostly doing now thanks to this update.

This is why I'm hanging onto my strange G.R.U as well. If I can manage to rack up kills with that damn thing...Yeef said:
See that's the thing, if it's not a weapon that I normally have fun using, some dumb rank name isn't going to make me want to use it more. Use it a lot and I won't enjoy myself, use it a little and I'll never rank it up. It's just pointless in my eyes... I'd much rather have strange versions of the weapons I already use all the time.The_Technomancer said:

Well I almost always have the GRU equipped, I just don't think that I've ever killed someone with them.Dechaios said:
EDIT: Still some major gaps that I'm trying to fill out: http://tf2ls.com/id/the_technomancer
No, not that. I am talking about the fact that more crates will get opened up in the quest for unusual hats. The "average" trading server person thing trying to get an unusual hat will get roughly 80 strange weapons in the process. Due to that, strange weapons will become more common, and their value in metal/hats/keys will go down. (Plus, they still have a 4 in 5 chance finding them in any crate that normal people will open)Yeef said:
Didn't know the kills reset, IMO thats good news. Now I don't have to worry about things like a clean strange weapon.
I personally love the pain train in general, great for capping points and pushing carts, and does the same amount of damage as the default melee weapons.
Genuine items are items obtained by purchasing a game with promo items within the promo period. This was done so that after the game is out, the items will be put into the normal drop/craft system, and you can tell the difference of the ones obtained by buying the game, and the ones that were crafted.MNC said:
Promo items that were crafted (Such as the Three Rune Blade) will have Yellow Text instead. For many items, Genuine doesn't go for much more then the normal version, due to actually being the more common version (Though I think people are starting to adopt the "Vintage" mentality with them, that they are "limited")
Also to note, while the Three Rune Blade can be crafted, it is a generic craft, and has right now a 1/8 chance of getting it. And the generic craft isn't cheap, it requires 8 weapons crafted into a scout token, melee token, and scrap metal. As such, to almost a 50% chance of getting the Three Rune Blade, you would have to do 5 generic crafts, costing 40 weapons.
