Another tf2 thread because both hit bump limit

Curious though, is the ambassador losing it's cooldown period now? Since that was what most of its damage was held out from since all shots would curve away from the head. Even at point blank.

Not really fart porn, more of a joke really

Fuck off and lurk more. Its 700 or pg 13.

Most cosmetics are not that bad and the ones that are you're unlikely to see more than a couple of per game.
Find a good server and it's pretty easy to relieve the good old days.

You've got some explaining to do, user.

So which version of this game is objectively better, now that the new update is out; TF2 or TF2V?

The only really cancerous stuff there is the gay theory video and I got linked to that one from here during the epistle 3 thing.

TF2V obviously, but nobody plays it (or at least not consistently) so I go to nuTF2 for my fix.

TF2
But people with no Hats will tell you TF2 without hats 2k17 edition is better.

skial and nemo’s stomping ground severs are all I play mostly.
Pubstomping on casual is pretty fun when 24/7 2fort and dustbowl gets old.

The update still isn't actually out.

Whoops, I thought it was.Plz no bully

Its cool, is like the first time the last day of the update event didn't have the fucking update.
I guess like 460 days just wasn't enough time to get it ready.

UPDATE NOW
1.2GB

JUST

...

nice job fucking up yet another update launch valve

Nah man this is heavenly. Forced stock on everyone.

Which ironically hurts the Pyro the most.

Buildings upgrade at 50 per hit now?

Never. You heavy mains are the worst and I regret absolutely nothing.

"badella" or something generic from a playstation VR game called no heroes allowed

scratch that, I'm just high or something.

servers are back

at 50 on pregame

...

How do I activate the contract? select it but nothing happens and I'm not getting points.

playing with items as we speak.

Restart the game or something. Item servers are finicky as fuck because valve.

coordinator seemed to go up, then died

...

Fake and gay

Welcome to update day, just keep trying.

its beautiful, i wonder if it was intentional

What the hell is this update bringing to get people to actually play this piece of trash again?
Will it fix the fact that metal is worthless?

Who thought this was a good idea. He can strafe and dodge almost like the scout, hell just walking backwards and strafing is tnough

And then he has dead ringer

No. Pyro got some neat things and his flamethrower got fixed, and Heavy got everything he needed. Heavy's minigun got unnerfed and he's actually a terrifying threat; finally as a Pyro main I'm able to feel tense whenever I see a Heavy somewhere and shit myself when I see his minigun revving up. It fucking sucked having one of Pyro's main weaknesses be so easy to bully as him. I'm loving the balances so far; item servers are dicked so I have no way to test the new items or get them, so that's out of the question right now. As it stands though, the balances seem to be fucking rad so far. Pyro finally got the extra damage he needs and Heavy isn't useless anymore.

All I wanted to do was light people on fire anyways

YEAH THANKS VALVE GO AHEAD AND KEEP FUCKING BREAKING MY CUSTOM HID EVERY SINGLE FUCKING UPDATE

Thanks Valve, even when you try doing good you remind me of how shit you are

FUCKING GABEN

good memes though

Every time. This shit is borderline unplayable.

They're going to nerf the shit out of this.

PRAISE JESUS
FUCK

I actually did get in to a casual game a minute ago but its bugged so you're forced to leave the server and re-queue once the match is over.

ALSO VALVE A SHIT FOR GLUING THE MATCHMAKING AND ITEM SERVERS TOGETHER
WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS OKAY

And now I have an INVALID PARTICLE warpaint that is in a quantum state of existing and not existing in my backpack

Lucky! That's worth at least 5 keys.

...

I now have a bananas

...

...

Oh you saw it too?

AAAAAAAAAA

OF COURSE I SAW IT
I CAN'T GET IN A GAME

Part of me wishes there were a feature where you could press the accept or decline keys to choose if you wanted to send a message about the wedding, and everyone could click on the "view" button on the announcement to see them all being fucking spammed. Imagine the fucking shitshow that that wedding would've been, even if only in a one-message-per-person announcement chat.

Oh and apparently some people (youtubers)
Are being put in priority queues

It's two faggots with disposable income.

as if they could get a venue to put up with their autism

Are…. people still expecting TF2 to become a good game again? Last time I checked in with it they had implemented a terrible matchmaking system which made their new version of quickplay unplayable.

I get that the new generation of faggots expects matchmaking and ranking and points and shit, but TF2 was intended as a drop-in game.

Get new items
Use server browser
???

Pyro is broken. 2 pyros with gas canister and default weapon can spawncamp entire team. Damage is fuck all.

...

Fuck it
I like pyro now, this is funny.

HA

If you can push the enemy team back to their spawn they're too shit to win anyway.

>everyone is picking pyro no surprise

My shit just turned Chinese

They actually broke gamepads with the latest update. Steam controller config integration does NOT work. I disabled the Steam Controller configurator in the settings, and it just does NOT disable. I unchecked it, it does NOTHING when disabling it

This is frighteningly incompetent, like, seriously fucking scary that we have grown men who are payed money to push updates out for an online game and they looked at this update and said "Yup that works!" It's shocking, completely shocking. I think its time I uninstalled TF2 and Steam anyways, it was a good run but its fucking over. This is just way too incompetent. I have a sour taste in my mouth. Bye TF2, you're finally fucking dead

I had this issue with my own gamepad, not even unplugging fixed it
What DID fix it was I think joy_device, whatever the var is, and setting to 0.

Elaborate, is this done from the TF2 command line

Why do you type like a faggot? Are you fresh from cuckchan?

No, I'm fucking pissed off and nothing sets me off more than feature regression. The fact something worked perfectly fine last update and then breaks after people "update" it irritates the shit out of me. Just don't fucking touch it.

So the new flamethrower is fucking BROKEN in MVM.
It even doesn't suck for tanks but just sprays retarded amounts of damage into the robots

I'm talking like Solo a giant heavy with simulated concheror support

great

TF2V is objectively the better game but since it lacks a community behind it and it's got very little content, Nu-TF2 beats it. My wish is to have a no hat no particles effect no reskins no skins mod for the game, so that I don't have to host the billion gbs needed to keep these shitty cosmetics on the game. Maybe add to that a way to tell which item each class is using like having them wear a certain headgear and that signifies that their melee of choice is giving them a passive bonus, so that I don't have to second-guess if they've got more health.

I'm not feeling so good right now

QUALITY COMMUNITY MAP

I thought the phlog already did that, and more. What makes dragon's better?

...

Shoot robot once
Shoot robot again
Congratulations you have just done 120 damage
One more 90 shot kills literally everything but overhealed soldiers and heavies
And when you max damage and fire rate and get crits you do like 1350 damage per second

Literally all Valve gameservers are down.
Join a community server

Thankfully I managed to get a bit of decent play time before this complete cluster fuck.

Gas passer is a pretty decent item although highly situational but since it doesn't recharge upon every respawn it's effectively worthless
Biggest update my fucking ass.

This the Dragon's Fury on just base money earning in mvm
Look at how much fucking damage it does

And keep in mind, this is like wave 3 and I was playing alone.

And people say Heavy got shafted..a better Sandvich? Yes please.

this game is fucking ruined

years of people bitching about pyro nerfs and it comes to this

A solid 8/10 update breddy gud

Yeah..when Pyro gets buffed, folks now complain about "WAAH PYRO'S OP, PLS NERF BECAUSE I'M A FUCKING SHITTY PLAYER"

have you even played any other class since the update?

...

git fukin gud

Agreed

I honestly don't know what valve was thinking with this shit jetpack and the contracts for it. Using this to extinguish allies is absolutely retarded when you can just use airblast, and I see no potential combat use for this, so it makes no sense to blast enemies with it.

The amby is now the worst revolver right next to the enforcer. Stock and dudesex are blatantly superior and do more DPS whilst being easier to aim.

NuValve nerfed it into uselessness. The damage falloff is so bad. It's on par with a shotgun.

Good, fuck spies that use that weapon for quick picks after failing a stab. I do hate how they decide to balance around the "competitive" players though. Who even plays competitive TF2 besides streamers and faggots who hate fun?

No, fuck off and die. You are not a fucking Sniper.

haha

Man this update is a mixed bag, i mean i like the changes of what they did to Pyro but this update just fucks over Heavy as most.
MAP

NU-WEPONs

I'm having so much fun with this shit, I dropped a bunch of crates, sold them really early and managed to buy a campaign pass without spending any of my cash.

God I love TF2

Lord why couldn't they have just made contracts doable on community servers.

I wouldn't mind that, if it were something like a flintlock - one shot and five second reload (and probably not entirely accurate to boot. That would be fair enough, kind of a situational use when you can't get close enough for a backstab.

Its pierce Vaccinator uber like a butter.

t. vaccinator medic

This is the reason why you can invade spawn rooms at Mercenary Park (spawn clips are too small, a rookie mapping mistake)

Why does Valve keep doing this stupid mistake? They should have released 2 weapons for a class and 2 others for another class, so that people who would have flocked to servers would at least have a slightly more varied layout while still being class rushes. Like, they could've gone Pyro vs Sniper and made it work by having contracts that deal with shit that can actually affect both. Or Medic vs Soldier or Scout vs Heavy etc.

I haven't played TF2 in years. Is the Mario Kart server still up?

Do you know the password?

No, it used to be public I think, so I don't know what the password is if they added one.

No it doesn't, you must've popped the uber too late or too soon
That is if the player in question manage to theoretically hit you in perfect succession, which in my opinion is very unlikely. In that length of time taken, you could've have your pocket-heavy mow down 2 pyros at the same time while getting that sweet, sweet bonus ubercharge from the damage you blocked. Oh, by the way dragon's fury doesn't reduce your resistance by 25% and your healing rate like the other flamethrowers do
t. 100+ hours as medic

Technically they did released a banana for heavy, but with the recent nerfs to heavies everywhere, i can see why they stop playing as him FUCK YOU VALVE WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HATE THE HEAVY SO MUCH?? HE'S YOUR GODDDAMN MASCOT. Also these days are hell for spies and soldiers, but Engineers had a field day in this update

Damn has it been a long fucking time

Someone put up a server valve can't get their shit together

You guys should just make a Holla Forums server for TF2 instead of getting into special snowflake mods riddled with bugs.

We can have both you know.

Only if its server mods and not meme shit like tf2c or tf2v

I bet you actually think there is nothing wrong with the flare gun.

Hello soldier/demo main bet you think release demo was balanced.

THE GAS CAN NULLIFIES ALL FIRE RESISTANCES

Wait, are you saying that being doused stops +% damage resistance from reducing anything?
Like, if you douse a vacc uber they won't resist any fire at all?

YES

...

Haven't played TF2 in years. Is this update good enough for a reinstall or no? Because every time I think about reinstalling I see how bloated the install size has become because of all the hats.

It's fucking good.
Especially if you can find a server with auto items since they rolled back the retarded Server can't assign models to clients bullshit from hatless

This is fucking glorious, why haven't you tried this yet anons?

...

Because it takes forever to set up and most servers take away your weapons if you try to equip both now

0/10

Finally, they gave Spy the buff he needed.

I'll have to check it out then. Thanks m8

I seriously fucking hate VSH and all thats come of it. Its a mediocre game mode that gets old fast that people only really play becuase they are just waiting for their turn to be the juggernaut and it had a hand in killing vanilla TF2 community servers becuase why host the actual game when you can host some dumbshit mod with dumbshit OCs and get easy server traffic?

Welcome to any game ever.

At least with vintage we've got some way of playing.

lel

the only real arena servers I can find are a handful empty russian ones with 9001 ping

Does anyone want to get a party going for those annoying contracts? These pubs are full of shit-tier players and nobody was surprised.

...

Only one I have left is the hot hand, is it worth going back and getting all the stars for?

...

No

depends

I played a competitive match last night and i'd have to say it's "people who don't actually like TF2" I mean holy shit, 6v6 makes turtle engineers, a well placed sentry nest and their pet spy checkers almost impossible to beat because there's just no way you're going to have enough fire power to get past the sentries without dying, and still have to deal with the other 6 team members, but more than that, the game does everything to make the match as fast as possible. For example in payload, there's only TWO ROUNDS per match, and once you go through those two rounds with the second round generally being shorter based on how well the first team played, Once that's done though, that's it, now get the fuck out and spend another hour looking for a match, or buy more shit from the store.

The absolute worst part about it for me is that contracts are disabled while using this.

Epic balansing.

I aint even mad

Well you also have to consider if a pyro has the Gas can, he literally has no way to attack outside of touching range.

Maybe?

Can't really stop using it.
Also, 2969 kills on your eternal reward.

mario kart gets played a lot still, but probably not the specific server you're referring to

Steam, senpai?

Fuck off.

I'd rather you didn't spend money since you would cut into my ability to churn money out of retards.

It's objectively shit. Just as bad as L&W if not worse. NuValve hasn't put out a good update for years now. Did you join TF2 in 2013?

June 2010 actually.

Apparently I can't even play the fucking update because steam is all fucked up.
What in the actual fuck did valve do?

Except it's 4 weapons vs just one for Heavy. People would obviously spend less time on Heavy than Pyro, it's only logical.

It's too soon to tell but I'd say between the new changes and the new maps (really good compared to other stuff they released) tf2 is in a very good state at the moment

It's been like 3 or 5 fucking I've seen a Heavy rampage, first being the one where he heals himself quickly with an amputator exploit.

Comparatively, sure.
But this is a shit-drizzled sunday and you're only pleased because for the last few years you've been given shit and shit alone. Also
What planet are you on, lad?

Slaughter the enemy team like Darth Vader swinging through Rebel scum . . . while occasionally turning 180 around to check for Spies.

Yeah that's what I'm saying, if they stay on this direction tf can be fixed
Again, comparatively speaking, they are much better than shit like hodoo, badwater or vanila viaduct

Should agree. Maps is so small.

...

It is better than where we were a week ago. The game isnt good now, it's better. This is like a retarded child that has finally done a simple task right, I want to give him some positive reward (by actively playing, not buying hats)
Not that I am an expert on spy, but he's fast and his core mechanics still work as usual
150dps is nerfed?
More like he's become the most useless class by omission

Puff 'n Sting is now dead. Afterburn is shit and the flamer hitboxes are worse than either. That isn't a nerf?

Is this why people say pyro is nerfed now? Even though the flamethrower deals insane dps now and the airblast (from what I've experienced so far) pushes much further now? Seriously I've only played 2 days on this patch, everything else is debatable but people claiming that the pyro is nerfed come out as a joke to me

Why would you want to play as a class that kills 10 secods after you died, if at all? Playing with flareguns and doing suicide charges just to set people on fire, that's how you want to play pyro? The game now rewards being able to flank (since charging forward gets you killed) and attacking people consistently with your primary weapon

I've only tested it for 2 days but I dont know what you mean, they seem to work fine to me. I have to look into it, in any case, it is impossible they are worse than before

Not really, he's just gotten his mobility options nerfed to near-uselessness, probably because Volvo thought that giving a slow class a faster movement speed weapon is breaking a balance abit too much *cough* *cough* Powerjack *cough* *cough* Escape Plan *cough* *cough* Targin' Charge *cough* *cough*

No they're not, airblasting rockets are still piss-easy unless its a direct hit
Not really, the afterburn nerf might be unwarraned, but Pyro got new goodies to play with and almost all of it is very viable.

Puff 'n Sting was already dead ever since they nerfed the fuck out of it ever since Gun Mettle. Afterburn nerf only affects primary flamers though, the flare guns and the sharpened volcano fragment still does full afterburn duration, however i agree that this is a very unwanted change.
Flamer hitboxes are fixed boyo but i hate the new particle effects, its too opaque compared to the old particle affects, and its color are 'off' compared to the rest of the fire particle effects.

Reminder that this is the only good scene from the dull spin-off that is Rouge One

I don't like how you're supposed to perfect the contracts just to get the damn glove. After all the hype I'm really disappointed with the jetpack, the disengage time takes too long for you to actually use it aggressively and giving up your shotgun just isn't worth it I think.

And apparently
Jesus christ valve, I'm going to have to try reinstalling at this point.

Has anyone tested the afterburn blocking healing? I remember hearing before the update the the flamethrower direct damage didn't block 20%. Somehow the values were fucked and it was actually 80%.

Why do contracts require a fucking ticket now?
WHY IS THE UI SO BAD?
WHY DO I NEED TO SEE ONLINE FRIENDS EVERY TIME I OPEN THE BACKPACK?
WHY DO I NEED AN INTEGRATED CHAT FOR OUT OF GAME WHEN STEAM CHAT ALREADY EXISTS?
GOD DAMN IT VALVE

They always did, except the halloween one.
I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

God damn Valve on this day.

Oh sorry that's something related to matchmaking, that bar that goes across the top of the screen that has the chat bubble icon and shows your profile picture with 5 more slots next to it.
I knew MVM had a ticket you had to purchase, but I assumed this would be like the halloween update (since I doubt there will even be one this year), and alerts you constantly about pending contracts while in community servers. If I have to buy a fucking ticket it for it, I don't want to be pestered about the contracts EVER. Also, maybe I'm getting senile, but didn't MVM also give you a free ticket? Actually I just checked and I have two tour of duty tickets that I didn't buy.
But jesus, the fucking main menu UI is a disaster area, they wasted their time concealing the server buttons within another button to make room for a ranking display and a redundant FRIENDS LIST?

thanks valve

Is this fucking for real?
Tell me valve is joking.

So the sharpened volcano can't start afterburn on people anymore.

Vote the shit out of I don't like the 6v6 format. Those shitheads need to be told no.

When this shit came up i just wanted a "I'm not a cancerous faggot" option.

woah

GOD DAMN IT VALVE, IT HAS BEEN ONLY A FEW HOURS
YOU RELEASED YET ANOTHER UPDATE THAT WILL FORCE ME TO REINSTALL THE GAME BECAUSE THE UPDATE HAS CORRUPT FILES
WHY THIS

works on my machine

too bad hitler dubs, seems like gaben's curse was put on ye

Maybe Valve should stop pandering to compfags and shitters

Nig you get a free contract to get a weapon, and honestly its a much better way to get a new weapon compared to relying on the drop system to give you one

no halloween update this year?

If Valve is so afraid of bugs and glitches that invariably happen each update, why haven't they thought of giving like a 2 seconds long ubercharge to players that have just spawned, to prevent people from spawncamping?
No wait, I know, they'll find a way to extend the uber through the whole match.

you tell me

QUALITY VALVE MAP

why are pub medics so fucking ADHD?

PICK A FUCKING PATIENT AND STICK WITH THEM UNLESS THERES SOMEONE ELSE WHO NEEDS YOUR IMMEDIATE OR YOU'RE RUNNING QUICKFIX

what the fuck are those squares
I'm genuinely convinced they spend all their dev money on the SFM cutscenes and use scraps for the rest

I don't even know what happened, because I played on that same map yesterday and it rendered fine. Now today the grass parts of the map are coated in wire boxes.

Uber is gay.
And without the knuckledragging fagggot 6v6 format a healthy team > uber

It's more like Holiday Punch > Proper Sentry placement > Airblast > Uber > A healthy team

That's because nobody wants to play medic in a pub, there's too much pressure. That's the main reason why the soldier main's trap gf medic buttbuddy sticks to him like glue; it's a lot easier to just heal one guy than divvy out the healings to everyone like a good slut.

A good heal slut understands that he needs to be selective about his partners. You swing from your main cum dispensers (the topfragging power classes) to the desperately thirsty only when the above mentioned have already been satisfied and fully charged, you can shift your semen gurgling to those who've been most recently attacked for their pro-gay rhetoric. This realistically means that a heal slut can sexually satisfy, at most, five players. For this reason, 6's was created as the penultimate gangbang jamboree, as healslut jealousy runs deep once more than one enters the field. It is easier for one slut to detest another on the other team, but for that to be done on both his and their gay bathhouse would be disasterous. The TF2 pimps understood this reality, and so have run the healslut industry as such for nearly a decade.

Times are changing however. More people are willing to play to role of a repenting sexually repressed nun, giving their bodies to the greater good of pubstomping powercock classes. In time we might see the beginnings of 12v12 or even 16v16 gamemodes at the forefront of the pornographic competitive scene, with up to 3 heal sluts working in tandem to win the game of how many cocks they can lodge into their holes while dislodging their opponents.

I have high hopes for Trap Fortress 2. A new age cums.

...

good effort

Remember scouts are always lowest priority because they can run away faster. However Burning teammates take priority to see them through afterburn damage.

I don't know if i should laugh at this post or marvel at how accurate it could be

After yet another update today that would not install because of corrupt files, I figured out that by unmounting the drive it keeps trying to download to, and restarting steam, it fixes the issue since it only has the correct drive to install the update on. Then I can just remount the other drive.
God damn it.

Does anybody know if strange parts can be added to warpaint items? I know stat clocks and killstreak kits can, but I'm not sure about things like this: wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Strange_Part

WELL, to my knowledge it only applies to Strange Weapons, and since warpaint items aren't strange then of course they can't be added

Only warpaints that are uncrated with Stat-clocks can accept strange parts. When you use a warpaint on an item, it just makes a duplicate of it with the fancy shiny bits; if it's strange and you want to keep the old stats on the new one, you have to get those strange part count transfers that you can craft/uncrate.

...

SCREAM FORTRESS BOYS

It's literally nothing, but I'm not surprised. Angry, but not surprised.

What the fuck is that webm?
Good song tbh

I don't know what I expected.

Shit, did not mean to do that. off-topic sage

...

I know that feeling and now I feel like a dick.
