So, i just crafted a pocket medic, and was wondering what they are worth on the trading scene. Can anyone tell me?

It's a hot item right now but it won't be 3 months down the line.

If you're interested in trade, you could get a bunch of metal probably, multiple keys, multiple hats, etc... I doubt it would go for any of the promo items(but you could try).

What craft #? They're in high demand atm so you shouldn't have a problem getting good offers for it. Try www.tf2tp.com and see what offers you get. We can tell you which ones would be worthwhile and which offers to avoid.

What I have. I haven't tried but it's possible to color the entire googly eye one color right?

I got some strange ticket for a Rift hat. Is this a hat I can use in TF2 or do other Steam games have hats now?

There was a password that we had set during the update weekend, but I had just removed it when you'd asked.

Considering that you have a low craft # and that it's a heavy misc, it'll still be worth a lot even if you hold onto it for a few months.

why do neither of you have the Shotgun

aka the best weapon the Pyro has


(also both the Backburner/Rake and Degreaser/Axetinguisher combos are viable for different purposes)

I saw someone with a purple "Valve......" weapon. Could it just have been renamed? It was the big axe for the Demo, sorry don't remember the name.

Well, the thing that sucks about my combo is that when I run into another Pyro I am SOL. So you could use shotgun in that combo too, I guess.

Not if it was purple. Probably a real employee, unless it was some kind of server mod.

Shotgun is still the best secondary for the pyro, but the recent buff to the flare gun has made it much more viable. beta detonator could have taken the thrown, but alas.

it was just the Unusual headtaker renamed, sounds like.

Valve weapons have ridiculous stats and can only be wielded by Valve employees (barring server mods) and have a darker purple than unusual items for the text.

Purple named text should be a Valve employee weapon, as name tags don't change the color of the name text.

Edit - Oh yeah, the headless horseman axe does have purple text, so it could have been one of those with a name tag.

Might have been some type of serverside sponsor mod, there is a lot of those...

I was looking at crafting a HHH axe (yeah, I still have the haunted metal, big whoop, wanna fight about it?), and the craft wasn't purple in the tooltip... So I didn't craft it :S

I think Kuro changed his name to something like "quick fix sucks" right after the update came out, so I'm not sure he can be trusted in this regard. =P

DerFeef, I may have an extra Quick-Fix. I shouldn't play tonight but if you have me on your friends list drop me an IM or something and I can trade you.

Not like I'm one of the more experienced medics on the server that played competitively or anything...

I've asked other comp players and they had nothing good to say about it.

If you're a battle medic, you already fail. A medic more focused on attack than healing = lulz.

The lack of the overheal is huge! It allows players to go off by themselves and increases survivability vs quick shit healing you faster. The overhealed class will have the advantage.

Thus, kritz and uber >>> quick shit.

Also doesn't help that players don't know what to do with the charge AND a kritz demo will destroyed a quick shit charge.

So I have been practicing spy on pub servers and have been doing ok with the normal knife+dead ringer. Any tips on things I should be working on to get better?

Lack of overheal is definitely my big problem with the Quick Fix. It really makes it underwhelming, especially when the other two medi-guns are already so good.

I recorded the sixth replay now and not a single one works :( I had this neat killstreak with my demoman right now but it just crashes everytime I try to edit or render it. This feature is broken for me.

Yeah I think this is it. The QF is not bad, it's just the other 2 guns are just so much better.

Hey GAF, what do you all find to be the best (fastest) way to switch between weapons?

Are you using the scroll wheel? Number keys? Special buttons on your mouse?

Also, did you enable "quick" switching?

I ask because sometimes I really fail at quickly switching weapons in a gun fight and have never really even tried to do it with the class it was made for (Pyro).

Quick switching is a must. Then just having the keys bound to whatever you like best (number, mouse keys whatever)

Isn't quick switching the toggle to make the switch with one button press instead of like a chance to confirm it?

I use "q" (Previous weapon) mostly.

Forward button on mouse = weapon 1
Scroll wheel click = weapon 2
Back button on mouse = weapon 3

Did it this way to quickly use the Degreaser then the Axtinguisher with the two buttons.

fascinating. thanks for the insight, guys. I think I'll try some of these setups tonight.

Shame that I've put like 300 hours into the game but have not perfected these basic techniques.

I use the scroll wheel and probably the number keys too. I use the quick setup for the spy where everything is on 1234 or whatever instead of 123456789. It took me a while to get used to but now it seems easy. I mostly use Q a lot for quick switching, typically for melee (i.e. axetinguisher).

By the way, HL2.exe crashes every single time I exit these days. Anyone else have that happen?
