It pays to be nice

But being a dick is so much more fun!

I wish I had a Strange Shotgun. Shotgun + minisentry engy 4 lyfe.

Had a ton of fun using that set-up a few days ago. So effective. This trade talk/business is insane..@___@.. I'm up for trading some of my duplicates, if anyone has a need. Don't have any rare or unusual or crazy items like you guys though. http://www.tf2items.com/id/conceptor

 

[Ghost23]

LOL

Yeah no unusuals can drop.. that would be pretty crazy, though. You can only pay to have a 1/300 chance at an unusual(or some extreme figure like that).

Wait, you can't get unusuals from a drop?? Why have I been thinking you can this whole time...

 

[MisterAnderson]

I hadn't played TF2 during the christmas "festive" time frame where festive crates were dropping. However when I logged in after the christmas time frame was over I had a "festive key" in my backpack I assumed was gifted to me by valve to allow me to open one of my crates. Does this mean Valve will likely gift us a single summer key by the end of this summer sale? Or should I not assume that?

Valve barely gave us the winter key, and that was only because they were feeling slightly generous what with it being the holidays and all. I seriously doubt there will be a free summer key but I could be wrong. What is the summer equivalent of "stocking stuffer key"?

 

[Yeef]

If they do give a free key it'll likely be tomorrow (4th of July), but it seems particularly unlikely this time around.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Only in crates.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Wait, which are you even looking for?

S. Minigun
S. Rocket Launcher
S. Pipe Launcer
S. Sticky

Goddamn keys...

 

[Ghost23]

When people talk about having multiple accounts for drops, are they talking about multiple steam accounts? Is it free to have as many as you want?

 

[thunker 9000]

I have one up for trade. what have you got to offer? <3

I also Have a Strange Sticky Launcher if anyone is interested.

Yes and yes.

Nothing of particular value really. Crates. Vintage weapons. Love.

This probably isn't the right place to ask this but:

I think my steam account got hijacked. I tried to buy something from the sale this morning, and it told me I had to respond to a verification email, which was weird, since I've bought plenty of games off Steam before, and never had to do that before. After about 20 minutes I still hadn't gotten the email, so I decided to log out and in again to see if that fixed it. Turns out I couldn't log back in after that, and the password reset emails still haven't shown up.

I sent a ticket to steam support with my CC info to try and reclaim the account, so we'll see what happens. Do I have any chance at getting the account back? I didn't really have that much $ in games on the account, but I'd be really bummed out if I had to restart from 0 in TF2, as I had just filled out my first page in my inventory, and sort of liked some of my stuff.

 

[TurboLibre]

I caved and bought two cooler keys. One of them was the Spy Turtleneck and the other was the Mailbox ax. Any good? I'm clearing my items with you guys after that whole ear buds incident.

Seems to me the turtleneck is the cooler (no pun intended) item out of that box, so sure.

 

[Drkirby]

Yep, both fairly good items. The Turtleneck is likely worth anther hat or two, mail box is worth a good bit too but not as much. You could likely get a hat if you are lucky, or some paints too.

If you need any weapons, just ask around the gaf server. We will give anything we have spares out for more or less free.

Both are popular. Turtle neck is a hot item.

Right on. Thanks for the help guys.

If you have a cooler and are willing to separate I'll take that. If not, does 2 crates sound good? series 19, 20, or 21


oh and also a side of love. I'll even throw some of mine in as well.

[jdogmoney]

Is there anything here that would help me acquire a Turtleneck?

Maybe some kind of bulk thing for the crates?

[DarkKyo]

Anyone looking for either the heavy glasses or the engineer spurs? Willing to trade either for the Rogue's Col Roule (Spy suit) I will throw in the golf club too.

I made some temporary changes to the server:

• The last 2 groups of maps that we've played are excluded from all votes. Each game mode is a group, but stock maps and custom maps are in separate groups. So, if we just played a custom payload map and a stock king of the hill map, you won't be able to nominate any custom payload maps or stock king of the hill maps.
• I upped the number of maps excluded from voting from the last 7 to the last 10.
• I also added cp_snakewater to the server by Yeoz's request. Seems like a well designed map from the quick run around I did.

I feel like we play the same 8 or 9 maps over and over and over, so hopefully this will get a bit more variety which, as we all know, is the spice of life.

Were you on a different computer and/or using a different browser than normal? Steam guard will keep you from using your account on a new system or new browser until you verify it via email. Unfortunately, it seems like the steam servers are getting hammered ever since TF2 went free to play. In the last few days Steam Guard has not sent me emails and/or sent them with a huge delay (hours). A couple of times the emails actually ended up in my spam folder (gmail).

I'm interested but my backpack is pretty anemic. http://www.tf2items.com/profiles/76561198023028563

 

[MatthewB92]

Anyone have a summer crate they don't want?

 

[MisterAnderson]

Is there a way to transfer dropped items to your main account from an alt? I guess you can just gift them?

 

[Cloudius12]

Your alt needs to be premium account to give item away.

Yo dog! I do. Steam name's jdogmoney.

Is TF2 broken for anyone? My connection is fine, but when I play it constantly freezes, voice breaks up and I can't play at all.

 

[zombieshavebrains]

Just crafted a Le Party Phantom, i don't really play spy at all does someone want to trade for it? I don't really know what its worth but i'd like something medic/soldier/demo.

Here is my backpack.

 

[The Technomancer]

Okay, I'm a big fan of a lot of the new items they added, especially the non-summer ones. The engineer spurs, the garnishes for the Soldier and the Spy turtleneck...none of them are horribly clashing with TF2's style! Its fantastic!

It's the same computer(laptop), but I've been on vacation the last couple days, so I've probably connected to steam from 3-4 different locations, in a span of 4-5 days.

I,ve had my account hijacked before. If you have CC info Valve seems pretty good about restoring things to their natural order, it will just take a couple days. I know it's stressful but try not to worry about it too much.

 

[jdogmoney]

I start playing and my screen is exploding all over the place, I can see through some textures, and everything is ruined forever.

I can still play about as well, though.

I'm holding onto the summer crate for a little longer until I know for certain there won't be a free key.

I've got a bunch of #19s I'd be willing to part with though.

I expect the shotgun to be a "Server-Clearing" 2500 kills by the end of the week.

So does that mean we can't play Thunder Mountain and Hoodoo back to back? So we can play more than two maps in a five hour span?!

Thunder Mountain for life, broseph!!!...or was it Hightower? I always get them confused.

My experience from dicking around with the server settings back when Java ran it last was that you can't really set that value too high (until you run out of maps, anyway).

It was actually (._.) who asked for cp_snakewater but I'm happy to take credit for it!
While we're adding 5cp maps to the server that we'll never actually play (another round of badwater? sure!), can you also add cp_follower, cp_stag, cp_supply and cp_xmas_warpath (the xmas-y version of warpath)? Thanks!
(speaking of badwater, can we also get pl_retawdab on there? It's a mirror-image reversed copy of badwater. )

 

[enzo_gt]

Well, I traded my Unusual for a Max head (It was a Trophy belt with ghost. So great effect, rubbish hat) I feel I could have got more if I really looked around but overall I'm happy with it.
Buds are worth more than Bills but I wouldn't trade your unusual for Buds. Or at least just one pair. I don't know much about trading though. If you really want a stockbrokers scarf I have a spare Vintage if you have anything nice to trade for it.

This issue with your hat is that it's a great hat with a shittt effect. People will usually offer for your hat only to resell it so they can make a profit, so that's why you get some lowball offers.

Buds + Bills isn't bad, since it's always nice to have a good stock of Buds, but considering that it's a confetti + a Christmas hat (there's a lot of Christmas hat unusuals floating around because of the free key thing), you're lucky that you're even getting offers. Try to push for as much as you can, the worst they can say is no.

Asked an admin at the unusual server I sometimes go to, he said 1.5-2 buds. 1.5 (buds + bills) being the minimum and 2 buds being your selling price. The fetti effect is considered the lowest effect and there are 20 (maybe more) detective noirs with green fetti in the wild. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the tips + info bros, appreciated. I gave the guy an ultimatum and he rage de-friended lol.

Wait, fetti is the lowest valued effect? Over the stupid Peace Signs and other stupid effects?

Just signed up another alt account and for some reason Steam won't let me charge money on it to upgrade to a premium account. My card works fine, and can charge funds on to my main account without issue. Has anyone else had this problem/have any ideas for a solution?

Indeed. I mean I suppose I don't need another account, but I'd sure like the extra items. My hat collection is very weak.
