I did but yeah nothing. I guess at the moment there's not a lot of people in the EU steam group so I guess I'll plug it again. I have to do a bit of work tonight so I won't be on again until tomorrow.

Anyone want a #23 crate? I'll take damn near anything for it.

Is there a mod that lets you create different class loadouts so that you don't have to go to the loadout screen and swap out individual weapons every time?

I have a Vintage Tyrolean, any idea what it's worth? Someone was looking to trade this last match and I'm automatically nervous after loosing the earbuds.
I'll send out an announcement in the main TF2 GAF group telling EU people to join the EU group. Hopefully that'll help a bit.awwyeahgurrl said:

Is it Vintage Vintage (ie blue) or is it nonvintage (ie yellow)? If it's nonvintage, then it's worth 2-3 refined. Probably closer to 2. You should be able to get any of the polycount set hats with it, and a lot of other good hats. Look here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/a/u...cPdDZZVllaelBuaFlRdUE4YUQ3VFFuTXc&hl=en&gid=0

How often does paint drop? If I'm wanting to paint 3 of my items a certain color I'm guessing it would take a while to expect to come across those particular colors, especially team spirit and waterlogged lab coat... does anyone have them to trade?
Probably going to bite the bullet and fork up the monies to the store :/

Team-style paints don't drop, and a handful of single-color paints don't drop either. Those that do seem to drop with not-quite-hat rarity.

Blue. Guess I made the right move not to go through with the trade, they were only offering weapons so I backed out. I should probably ask for keys, hats, or refined metals then?
I think so, but that's up to Tellhimgirlfriend! to decide.undu said:

Since it's worth 5-6 refined, you could go on the google spreadsheet and see what items you'd want for that value. Or just sell it for straight up metal, or just for a hat you really want, ect.Tkawsome said:
Just don't trade it away for less than at least 5ref worth of goods.

Fucking jesus christ. 3 Strange Boston Bashers in a row out of these retarded Scout crates.
Does anyone have a Strange Minigun, Direct Hit, or Pistol for trade? I have a Strange Eyelander, Rocket Launcher, two Boston Bashers, and various other spare weapons that aren't strange as well as some metal.

I have a strange GRU that I'm looking to trade for a strange shotgun or rocket launcher or scattergun or something. Something I'll actually accrue kills with.

Valve finally figured out how to get get me to buy keys, bloody strange weapons. I evenly actively went on to some trading servers and purchased a bunch of series 23 crates for scrap. I think i had two Strange Boston Bashers, four Strange Sandmans, three Olde Bakers Boys, one Milkman, and one strange pistol before I unboxed a Strange Scatter Gun. Some people just gave me crates because I was opening crates, got a few other random strange weapons for demo, spy and heavy.
It's like a slot machine.
I got all of the Scout weapons that I wanted though, so I'm not gonna complain. Gotta a few Strange weapons I can hopefully use to barter for the Scout Uber update set. I just need the hat and bat now.

I've been doing this:
Works great.
Also there is no way to check if you've hit the item drop cap right?

Much easier. There are some other launch options, but primarily use -textmode and +map achievement_idle (or any other map of your choice) and you start your own VAC enabled server in spectator mode to idle in for however long you want. It comes up as a text window.evlcookie said:
I guess there's no set method, but I just check tf2items.com and see how many items have come along. If I have 10 or so (not counting crates) then I figure I'm done.SteveWinwood said:

right click on TF2, then select properties and open "Set Launch Options". When a new box appears, place the following text -textmode -nosound -noipx -novid -nopreload -nojoy -sw +map "itemtest"
I do that either over night or during the day. It uses alot less ram and I'm normally able to play other games.
My idle accounts been on for about 6 hours and has found; Buff Banner, New demoknight sword, Jag, Direct hit, Crate, that soldier hat, brass beast, shiv, backburner and mad milk.
I'll leave it on till morning and see if it gets any more.

You can do the textmode thing people are explaining to you, or you can just simply click "offline practice" and choose any type of game. Let it start up, hit alt+tab, and now you're idling!evlcookie said:
When I used to idle on my main Steam account, I'd minimize TF2 and then open up Terraria and play that.
Hmmm....
Does Michael McWhertor secretly play on the GAF server? hen mentioned The Jank in today's bonus round.

Decided to open another scout crate tonight. Got a Strange Pistol to replace the one I traded to Yeef! All is right in the world.
Also, after finally getting my Strange Scattergun, I am still nursing my Strange Sandman much more. It's at 87 kills, and it's so fun to just go for the bat/taunt whenever possible.

I've tried again and again and I still can't play Scout or Demoman. Any tips? I seem to have some minor luck with the scout once I know the map, but I still spend most of the match dead and maybe get a couple of kills. As for Demoman, I've spent ~ an hour and a half as the class and only unlocked one achievement. I just can't seem to figure it out short of hitting turret nests.

Are you playing Demoknight or normal demoman? I either use the Loch N Load or the standard launcher + stock stick launcher. Stick launcher is great for removing sentrys as you can charge the shot and fire the stick further away.

I've only tried standard Demo so far. I have a couple swords, but I don't think I have anything for a charge attack yet so I haven't really tried the class yet. Should I try out the Loch N Load or practice more with the standard?

I found the Loch N Load was good practise learning to hit my enemies directly, the bombs disappear if they don't hit on impact. Once I got the hang I went back to the stock launcher and found it easier to use.

Scout: Run around them while they're focused on other targets, meatshot, run away. Also, run past the front line when you can, annoy the fuck out of them from behind. This is especially true on A/D and payload maps where teles make a big difference. Don't attack people coming out of spawn, just trash teles every time the Engineer tries to put one up. Eventually they'll give up and waste even more time coming after you, probably as Engineer because switching classes means their existing buildings will explode.
Demoman: Pipes are already powerful weapons. They travel long distances, they bounce (except on the Face-Explode, er, Loch-n-Load), and they're pretty annoying to try to get away from. A great trick is bouncing them around corners, figure out what angles give you the best distance. Even a Pyro reflecting them often can't reflect them far enough away to avoid damage. Stickies are win-bombs. Generally you want to lay down at least two or three before you pop them, anything lower and there's a chance they'll survive. Unless one's a crit, then just pull the trigger and laugh as they gib from a huge distance away because of your luck.
Tkawsome said:
The Loch N Load seems useless to me, cause if basically has to be a direct hit since there's no splash damage (correct me if I'm wrong). I do decent with regular Demo. Just try and pop in and out of cover and always be in numbers. Cover the doorways/choke points with stickies (I use the Scottish Resistance) and wait for people to run through and blow it. You also have to anticipate enemy movements, so you can shoot the nade the direction they are stepping. It's one of the easiest classes to pick up, I think. I can't play Scout or Spy at all. Pyro's pretty hard, too.
Stick to all vanilla demoman.Tkawsome said:
Demoman is pretty easy and probably the strongest class once you get good with it. Offensively, demoman plays similarly to soldier. you want to aim at where your target is going to be when your stuff hits, not where they are. For the grenade launcher just practice aiming and eventually getting direct hits becomes pretty easy. You can use rollers (non direct hits) as a sort of area denial to herd people in another direction. When using the sticky launcher try to explode them either in midair or when the target is standing right on top of them. if you have auto reload on, the arm time on the default sticky launcher means they can be detonated just as the reload animation starts. It's important to get the timing down because if you press the button too early there's a bit of a delay before you can press it again.
Scout is a fairly straightforward class, but difficult to get good with. Scout requires good aim more than any other class besides sniper (and even then, I'd argue more than huntsman snipers). The Scout does maximum damage with 'meatshots,' point blank shots with his scattergun. You want to try to flank the enemy, get in close to kill them quickly and then retreat. If you weaken an enemy and they start to retreat and/or you run out of ammo in your scattergun clip switch to the pistol and finish them off.
Use your speed and your double jump (or triple jump if you have an atomizer) to confuse your enemy by jumping over them or changing direction in midair. As with every class, you want to know when to engage and when to retreat. If, for some reason, retreat isn't an option when you're facing a group of enemies try to focus on a single target. Usually the medic is the best target, but not always.
Finally, this works with every class, but probably best with Scout. The bait and switch. When you're retreating and you suspect your attacker is pursuing you run around a corner, wait a second or so then head back. They'll either be coming right around the corner and you'll hit them with a meatshot (100+ damage) or they'll be headed in the other direction so you can sneak up on them. This rarely works near the current objective, but generally works everywhere else on a map.
