TF2 Thread, now featuring HALLOWEEN!

There be Scottish eyebawls afoot.

In a server with some bros, we took that down and got the achievements pretty quickly.

in random pubs, the eyeball is forgotten it becomes a clusterfuck deathmatch with the eyeball killing everyone. I find it even funnier when people say: "how do I get to island?"

Pretty awesome event this year, so much swag to try and get.

I don't think much of the boss this year though. It was much more fun to have the horseless headless horseman chase you through Mann Manor.

i love how the bombinomicon completely screws over YER spies.

Solders + Direct Hit = 112 damage per rocket. Fastest way in my opinion to take down Monoculous.

Monoculous levels up now upon each successful defeat. Highest I've seen was level 17. Not sure exactly what the purpose of it asides is asides from increase of difficulty variance. Apparently it isn't a static change either; sometimes it is a faster rate of attack, others more teleports, and others still higher health. The changes can go both ways so that a particular level will specialize in a certain trait.

 Also had a first hand experience of the balances of fortune, maybe akin to karma

Yesterday I spent a great deal of time unsuccessfully trying to farm gifts on various servers since I'm OCD about collectables as long as money is NOT involved. People were often being jerks about it and not respecting the people who found it in the first place even when the server title often said "Gift Farming". Only ever found one, but I did not intend to get it during my try farming yesterday. Someone from the opposing team was there first, and my teammates killed him, so I jumped onto it as well. I chose to give it to the guy who was there first since I thought it the right thing to do.

Flash 3 hours and 6 servers later, still no gifts found and I'm on a random Trading/Idling server. The only thing I had mentioned was trading out one costume for any piece of others since it was a duplicate I received while I was in one excellent order based gift farming server which had not been open since Halloween. Some random guy trades me asking for a Machina. I tell him I only have one and that it wasn't for sale; sorry, look for someone else. He insists I sell it to him and starts showing me some fairly valuable stuff (relative). I try and tell him that the weapon isn't even worth half of one of those items I'm assuming are a selection from which to choose for it. He begs, and I put it up, but then he goes and agrees to the trade with all the items there. I try to tell him this isn't worth all that once again, but he insists.

Final Trade Result:
Give -
1 Machina

Receive -
1 Crate
1 Scrap
1 Force of Nature
1 Strange Eyelander
1 Ol' Snaggletooth

And let me just say, being immune to head-shots is better than I expected by far.

Also, not 30 minutes later I get a hat drop which was my first in months.

I didn't know Taunts are drops.

The bestest

TF2 is in the cosmos apparently

Holy crap can you actually see the Pyro's face (I doubt it, but still...)?

Virtual Reality Headset
i'll post screenshot later steam dont work o-o

nm 1800 lol i like it super round number

What the heck? Did they just release those hats? Guess I'll be seeing them in-game very soon.

The VR headset was added in the Manniversary Update and the pyro one with the Halloween update. They always sneek some hats in.

You got two pretty good results though. I've never been very lucky myself.

I found the Schadenfreude Taunt on Friday and a hat during Halloween so I guess that’s my good drops used up for about another year now.

I now have a reason to never pay real money for opening crates. There's an actual crate simulator out there:

http://www.kongregate.com/games/stripedy...mplete=tf2

According to this, I can spend $6,000 on crates, which got me 29 unusual hats, meaning if I were to undergo the hat selling business I keep reading about I gotta sell for ~$205 just to break even, meaning I somehow gotta sell hats at ~$225-250 a pop to make money off crating.

Thank god keys are tradeable. If I somehow get an Unusual anything from a single crate, I can forsee myself selling it via a Paypal account, and cash out the proceeds via my bank account.

That's actually not that hard.

That's actually not that hard.

It's not that hard to make actual money of TF2 stuff?

I mean, to sell unusual hats for $250 each. It depends on the hat really.

Are you freaking serious? Who/why would people pay $250 for a virtual hat? Holy crap.

Some prices I Googled:

Sunbeams Modest: $600-700
scorching football helmet: $65-80
purple fetti mining light: $30
vivid plasma merryweather: $110-120

Thanks, you now broke my brain and am now thinking in Angrish. My brain couldn't handle all the "WUT" that attacked my head upon seeing this.
