Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Can some idle master here tell me how to not get this stupid "item schema isn't up to date" crap when I'm idling? It's frustrating as hell leaving it on over night and not getting a single item.

Anyone want to give me a non-troll answer as to what FOV I should use?
I've been using the default 75 but someone mentioned that it is awful.

90, max that slider out. Gives you better peripheral view.Obsessed said:

Not sure if it was the new FOV, or the jank, but I tried 90 while going scout and almost got motion sickness. It felt like the scout movement lagged in comparison to the map. Almost as if I was moving the map ahead a bit first, and then moving the scout. It was a noticeable lag.
Got an engineer cap hat drop. TF2's been pretty generous with the hat drops lately, it seems. I've gotten maybe 8~10 in the last 2 months or so.
Also, I'm going through and adding images for all the stuff that doesn't already have it on the stats site. I'm tired of seeing that generic ribbon!

That lag sounds like jank, but some people do get motion sickness from the narrower view of a 90 FOV.Obsessed said:

Haven't gotten a hat drop since the double drop rate week, which was in May/June.

Retried 90 FOV in a valve server. No motion sickness. GAF jank was likely the cause of yesternight's sickness.
That doesn't make sense. If you're close to a dispenser anyway, the shotgun can get the same results without wasting metal. If you're so overrun that you need more than 6 shots not having to reload isn't going to help you.Drkirby said:
The Widowmaker is more like the Bazaar Bargain. You get big rewards (extra metal, infinite clip) if you can control your shots and your aim is true. Otherwise you get a significant downside. The one change I'd like to see for the widowmaker is to make each shot cost 50 metal instead of 60. That means you get 4 shots at full metal and 2 if you just plopped down a mini-sentry. At 60 you only get 1 shot with a mini sentry which is way too low.
Barring that, making the metal you gain from the widowmaker allow you to store up to 300 metal instead of 200. Kind of like overheal. So picking up ammo and fallen weapons would still cap at 200, but any excess metal from the widowmaker that would put you over 200 gets added to your reserve.

I started a 2nd collection of all weapons on my idle account a while back, but now I'm not sure if I want to keep'em. Sure it'd be nice to have 1 of each item extra just in case new weapons come out and I need for recipes, but, I'm looking at... *counts*... 28 scraps, which is very tempting. What to do?!

Unless you're in a rush or otherwise feel the urge to get something, sit on them. You can monetize them or turn them into metal at any point.ArtistDude88 said:

I'm starting to think that tf2 item mining would be far more lucrative than bitcoin mining. Hell, tf2 items are probably more of a currency than bitcoins.

Just had a good run with the Pyro. First time messing around with the Homewreaker and I realized it can be a lifesaver when you're playing defense. I'll probably stick with it when I'm not using the degreaser.
The Widowmaker is like the Bazaar Bargain, but I think it's just about perfect the way it is. Unlike with the Frontier Justice, you can't spam mini sentries and still get a reward, so you have to be more careful with their placement. I don't even lay down minis unless I'm near free ammo outside of emergencies anyway. It's limited to 3 shots just like the FJ, and 60 ammo links to the 60 base damage. If they wanted to make people happy with less ammo cost, they'd probably also lower the base damage, which I suppose I could live with. Another possible change, when you have less than 60 metal, you finish off your metal but then get a much reduced base damage for your pellets, or less pellets fired overall.Yeef said:
If you're an Engy that prioritizes getting a dispenser up for your team (which I find more useful on certain CTF and KotH maps), you're fine anyway. What I'd like to see is a new ammo mule wrench that gave you +50 or +100 max ammo, along with +25 health. It would make dispensers deploy and level up faster, mini sentry takes 5 seconds to spawn, and I don't think the tele needs to be given a downside too, but perhaps it needs more metal to upgrade or maxes out at level 2. That would give the type of synergy I think the Widowmaker needs to properly compete with the FJ+Gunslinger.

Playing Spy on a Valve server (especially Saharan Spy) definitely should be recognized as a form of therapy, or stress relief.

I just confirmed that the game doesn't save your stats until you die. Steamrolled a map as a Sniper with 13 headshots and didn't save it. =(
It just saved the number of kills. It didn't save the longest time alive either.

Those servers...I refuse to play Medic on any of them anymore. People do the dumbest shit when they have a Medic in tow.Obsessed said:
Being healed? ---> Rush into the MIDDLE of a massive firefight.
Uber charge @ 90%? --> Rush into the MIDDLE of a massive firefight.
Being healed? --> Rocket/Sticky jump where I can't go...leaving me to fend for myself in retreat.
It's like the digital of liquid courage. Instead of people remaining conservative and making sure they don't die, they decide to ride the shit until the wheels fall off to get that one last kill. And trust me, the wheels almost always fall off, leaving me to fend for my fucking self. I'm a good shot with that Blutslauger, but I shouldn't be in the position in the first fucking place.
And let's not even get started on how people seem to forget that the Medic is defenseless when he's healing. How about you dummies think about shooting the pyro before he gets to me? maybe turning around every once in a fucking while to make sure a Spy isn't bearing down on me?
If I counted the number of times I died just before I could uber because the guy I was healing decided to press his luck and rush heavy encampments, I'd be even more irritated.

I know that feel, bro.
The medics aren't innocent either, I can't keep track of how many times they'll latch onto a fully healed Heavy and ignore me when I have a sliver of health. Even though I'm spamming the medic button and jumping right in front of them. It's rare for them to heal their fellow medics as well, which can really get on my nerves since I'll make it a point to top them off every chance I get.

I had the opposite problem last night. I had full charge with FOUR players around me, and not a single one of them wanted to do anything.Dreams-Visions said:

I still get jerky when I have a medic following me. My usual course of action during a Uber is lvl 2or3 sentries (id rather drop a demo,heavy,pyro b4 a lvl1) 1st and immediate threats.....after that im like derp kill everything... I need to work on that i think.
Friday night TF2 is always fun so looking forward to later

Interesting point. You know what I find is that when there's a crowd it's very difficult to get the game to select the right person to begin to heal. I can't count the number of times I wanted to heal person x and aimed at them, but the beam went to someone else over and over as a dude burned to death. not sure if there's a better way to deal with that, but yea.Tkawsome said:
If you need healing, try not to clump yourself in with others. the more separate you can be from other people in my view screen, the easier it is for me to heal you.
and that too! Usually when I'm working with a soldier who isn't communicating well I at least try to count how many shots he's fired. because ubering Mr. Soldier when he's on his last round means 1/3 of the uber time is going to be taken up by him reloading. :-/Professor Beef said:
With everyone else, I just assume they have enough ammo.

Im a little hungover now but nothing a little hair of the dog wont fix later.
I was playing a few rounds as demo before and my aim getting a little better as well as my jumps. How long do stickies last for assuming I dont die,dont drop more then 8,and dont set them off?

This all happens on the GAF server too. Not as frequently, but it happens.
Also one thing that royally pisses me off. POCKET FUCKING MEDICS that ignore any advice you give them. I asked the fellow medic to heal me 8 times and he just ignored me and continued to pocket a heavy. Even worse when they aren't pocket medics but they just refuse to heal fellow medics. Do they think my healing factor is that powerful?
Worse are morons that I am healing that take health packs from me... A scout I was healing had 116 hp and grabbed the health pack while I was on fire with 20 hp left....
Even worse than that are demomen/soldiers who when you uber them, PLAY LIKE THEY ARE AT 10 HP and run away, or stay in a corner and try to shoot and retreat.
