I don't know the tf2 economy. So for all i now I got a poo poo lot. Still, I will most likely just trade them in to TF2 warehouse.

Stuff out of the cauldrons and gift drops are usually not tradeable or craftable so people with a trillion farm accounts can't spawn a bunch of them and ruin the economy or turn it into other hats or whatever, so enjoy whatever you got because it's not going anywhere!

When the big head spell hour starts all the minisentries people drop kill like half the team before they can move. Spooky.

This would happen with the 2012 map where during the Thriller, a L3 would mow half the enemy team down.

These cauldrons, are they tradable?

In a typical oversight, Valve allowed sentries to remain up when melee mode is triggered ruining it for everyone.

I don't know how Valve didn't expect Special Delivery to be a Mini Sentry minefield.

It's an example of a potentially good event ruined by a bad map and minisentries.

Also the bumper tiles game never loving ends since everyone hugs the pole.

I absolutely love this event. Also, it seems that you only get one achievement cauldron, for beating each bumper car game once.

The entire point of engineers is to stall the other team, so that's no surprise.

I keep getting a weird issue on every server I join. The even map goes fine but after a few rounds my firing of my gun seems to desync. It'll fire one shot then half a second later fire a second shot and it's the second shot that counts. It makes it impossible to hit anything with hit scan. And it only effects hitscan. Movement and projectiles are fine

So there's a bug where if everyone is teleported to bumper cars while Marasmus is casting his underwater spell, you will be underwater in the bumper cars and nobody can fall off.

So instead of the bumper car game taking figuratively forever it takes literally forever.

Anyway, got my second cauldron. Don't have to do this poo poo anymore. All my items suck and I can't trade them for ones I like. Womp womp.

Edit: Goddamn and the only way to get these items is to buy them in the store, then? I have to spend like 7.50 to get an item I can wear about 24 days out of the year? Valve, what the hell?

I'm fine with the restrictions but charging ordinary price for crates and cosmetics when you can barely ever wear them is ridiculous. With the crates at least you can kind of say you're paying a premium for the lottery ticket chance of getting a Halloween unusual, but why would I pay $20 for a cosmetic getup I can barely ever wear?

Did people bitch this much last year when Valve did the exact same thing with their item restrictions?

Nehru the Damaja

No because last year you could play long enough to get the stuff you wanted and haunted items could be sold.

Yeah, I think I'm going to just get the achievements and then just play lakeside_event as that is an actual good map. On the other hand though, I have the full lich king set, so hey, I'm fine with that.

i like that they bitched that last year was their worst selling year because they made everything restricted then they did the exact same thing this year only with fewer, worse items.

To be fair, there are a handful of neat items that I wouldn't mind being able to use more than a half-dozen times a year. gently caress paying money for that though.

TF2 keeps updating, hitting 100% and resetting to 0%. And starting all over again.

What's up, and how do I fix it? I tried restarting steam, and that's where I ran out of ideas.

Turns out I needed 5G free on the drive I have TF2 installed to (my ssd) for it to stop doing that.
