The bacons is correct.

As far as the uber weapons are concerned, the only ones I don't like are the mantreads and the market gardner, maily because they're so difficult to use well in a real game. The winger and the family business are 100% out classed by their vanilla weapons, but they look good enough that I'll use them just for aesthetics sometime. The detonator is a HUGE disappointment. It's basically useless in its current state.

 

[froliq]

So, what do you guys think of the new weapons now that you have had a chance to play around with them? New scout bat and primary are likely the best in the pack, and the new Demoknight stuff is also really good. Don't really like the Man treads, and the whip is hard to make effective with the solider being on of the slowest classes by default, shotgun is nice though.

Still haven't gotten the sniper set, but I don't really like it that much.

Demoknight stuff is just amazing and the damage on the new spy gun is just sooo good. Pyro's Detonator isn't all that great imo. It's good for setting multiple people on fire and the detonate option is also good to have, but it's just far less powerful than the regual flare gun. I still rack up much more kills with the flare gun and just mostly assists with the detonator.

I like the Soldier's whip if you can get it to good use. Moves you around quicker in some maps instead of rocket jumping and you lose no hp. The new shotgun and rocket launcher are great additions, but I've become too accustomed with the regular versions and the bigger clip sizes are a big factor for me.

Not really feeling the medic set and haven't crafted or gotten the others yet.

 

[Borgnine]

I'm with Mr. Bacon on this one. I barely post in here anymore because all you guys do is "can I have a demo golf club?" or something like that.

You barely post in here anymore because you don't have anything interesting to say and no one likes you, even your mother (who adopted you).

The thread is slightly annoying, but I'm not complaining, I'm sure it'll pass once everyone has the new stuff and the summer crates are gone. I can't get behind the fake economy though, where everyone posts what they think an item is worth in .5 metal increments. Shit is just weird, don't even act like some of you don't have Excel files.

I still have yet to try out the weapons I want the most. The liberty launcher, detonator, tomislav, soda popper, enforcer, and the big earner.

Or you guys could use the TF2 GAF chat for trades, and leaving this thread whining free.

That's a lie. No one wants the Demo golf club.

Having a video of spy fails has the potential to be funny. This particular video? Not funny.

Has to be real blatant stuff. Like uncloaking in front of a sentry but forgetting to sap. Or waiting a couple seconds to backstab a sniper, but he has a razorback.

Poker Night update. Maybe with the new summer weapons?!


Nah, I don't expect it, but it could happen.

It makes sense though

What better way to come up with new community aspects and program new server features, than to hire a server mod creator and massively used TF2 related website creator.

I am not.

Are any/all of the winners on the server? We should play through them at some point.

Well, he was, sort of. But it was part of an FBI sting

All of the maps have been on the server since the contest started. We played a couple of them. They even have their own category in the nominations menu.

You could've fooled me. Seems like all that ever gets played is payload payload payload.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I think we should designate at least one night of the week to be payload-less. No Upward, no Badwater, no Thunder Mountain, no fucking Hoodoo or Goldrush, for the love of god no Hightower or Barnblitz.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Most played map at Janky-Ass are: Thundermountain, Hoodoo, Goldrush, and Hightower.

Ah, Upward too.

(Harvest is the initial start up map, right?)

(Harvest is the initial start up map, right?)

Yup. It was badwater for a long time (going back to 2.0), but people were complaining about missing badwater because they didn't join when the server first started.

 

[XeroSauce]

I like the sniper rifle. faster reloading means faster aiming. always a good thing.

Tomislav is win.

Demo stuff is win.

Liberty Launcher <3, Disciplinary action = meh, new shotty = pretty nice.

Not quite sold on the quick fix.

I don't have any of the new Scout, Pyro or Spy weapons, so I can't comment.

wat

I hope you mean faster charge. Unless you're talking about the Huntsman or something.

I feel that the Bazaar gives too little reward for such a huge loss. Sure, you can still get 150 on an uncharged, but getting that overhealed Soldier or Heavy takes way too long when you have to sit there charging for a few seconds.

Soda Popper is...meh? I was really looking forward to it but it feels like it doesn't do enough damage. I probably need to play with it more, since I have trouble controlling the crits with my pistol and so on.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

(Harvest is the initial start up map, right?)

Is there a way to see all the maps?

 

[yeoz]

I dunno. I got the graphic from here.

It was great in the beta. They should have kept that version.

The way it worked was a 3 tier system:

• At tier 2 you charged faster
• At tier 1 you charged at normal rate
• At tier 0 you charged slower.

You started out at tier 1. A heashot bumped you up a tier anything else bumped you down a tier. It's simple to understand and easier to use, with smaller penalty but also a smaller reward compared to the current method.

When we eventually get another rifle I'd like to see one that can't charge, has reduced damage, but gets multiple shots per clip.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I dunno. I got the graphic from here.

Still looking to get a few weapons. Tomislav, Family Business, Bazaar Bargain, Southern Hospitality, Quick Fix, Solemn Vow, Eyelander, & Splendid Screen.

Anybody see anything in my backpack they're willing to trade for?

Still haven't gotten the sniper set, but I don't really like it that much.

Tomislav was an absolute beast before they nerfed it, and afterwards I just went back to my strange minigun.

Demo set is brilliant, but the buffs were unnecessary and gimp Pyro even more.

Scout stuff is pretty good, but I'm not really a fan of the shotgun having only two shots before reload. I like the whole hype meter idea, though.

Liberty Launcher is easily my favourite Soldier weapon now, and the Reserve Shooter makes one hell of a noise.

Detonator is next to worthless. If they hadn't gimped it from the beta then it probably would have been the best weapon of the entire update.

Haven't tried any of the Sniper stuff since I never play that class.

I have an extra Solemn Vow I'd trade you - I have no idea what it's value is relative to your items/crates.

I could trade you for one of my spare non vintage weapons. Boston Basher, Buff Banner, Crusader's Crossbow, L'Etranger, or Frontier Justice?

Ok, I have 2 summer coolers. All I want is the spy turtleneck. Should I risk buying one more key, or do I have a better chance with asking around the servers?
