Jippa posted:What are people doing when they move around taunting? They're either doing the harmless bug thing: Taunt while running, and you'll quickly slide to a stop as the taunt starts. If you slide off a ledge like this, that half-cancels the taunt. It looks to you like the taunt was cut off and you can run around, but you can't shoot. To everyone else it looks like you're taunting as you move, until the taunt completes its animation, at which point everything's back to normal. Or they're doing the extremely annoying and gameplay-damaging thing: If you taunt at the end of the round, sometimes somehow you end up stuck looping the taunt animation for the entire next round. You can still run around, shoot, and do everything you normally could, but your enemies can't see if you're aiming up or down, or reloading, or revving your minigun, or which weapon you have active.

Oh I see that makes sense. The pyro's flame laugh thing looks hilarious when he has all the halloween stuff on.

Pickle dicker posted:the Mannhattan Project, Lollichop Licker and Tiny Texan are the only items that might get me to buy a crate. Except that most likely I'll just end up with one of those other garbage items So, I decided to unbox at least one crate from this whole halloween shitshow...  yay  I didn't get any strangifiers or poo poo, but at least it's in haunted quality. edit; poo poo I can't put strange parts onto it. And I cant take those garbage "poo poo done on Carnival" crap off it. gently caress you whoever was in charge of this years event.

The best thing about this Halloween is that Valve must know how little everyone likes it and they'll actually make a fun Scream Fortress 2015. ...Right?

I got a strange haunted engineer's beep man outfit out of the cauldron but the new halloween map is bad and playing engineer on that map is something I would only do if I hated myself and everyone else.

Just put on the gunslinger and never ever throw up a mini. Though that only works if you trust yourself not to throw up minis.

'we found that we weren't making much money off of halloween, so we did everything in our power to make even less this year. we're actually handing it out like candy at our doorstep.'

They're just saving up for the real cash cow, which is the Christmas event. Halloween is their vacation, put stupid poo poo in game, have fun, see what sticks.

The strange festives that get less valuable with each series because everyone thinks it's going to be SF Scatters all over again and overinvests for garbage?

That and they generally pick worse weapons each year. Personally, I'm holding out for a festive Candy Cane or Holiday Punch this time around.

Powercrazy posted:I just want a KritzKrieg that counts assists for a sane amount of money. I can guarantee that a rereleased Kritzkrieg's price would rival that of the first set of festives. I don't even care about the value of my one, I just want other people to have healy guns that level up.

I will admit I have mixed feelings about the newer Festives. They're really creative and cute, but I did kind of miss the simplicity of plain ol' Christmas lights. Dr. VooDoo posted:My Strange Festive Rocket Launcher will always be my baby Not getting a strange version may be my one great TF2 regret, after how much I fell in love with the default version. Similar for the flamethrower. Both weapons were great since they're both very useful weapons and also Soldier and Pyro are definitely the characters most likely to just wrap Christmas lights around their guns. Re: Halloween Pretty much have to agree that other than actually liking the bumper cars, this year's was kind of a bust. I hope Valve learned something from it.

I miss the original festives, too. My favourite is the Ambassador, I uncrated a strange one and it looks so good with a darker wooden stock and black barrel with a new engraving. The single light is about as understated as you can get when it comes to Christmas lights. Last years felt like they were trying to be as in-your-face as possible about their Christmassness. You can only really tell what the Black Box and Flare Gun are based on their shape, since they're completely covered in giftwrap. The only ones I like are the GRU, Jarate and Wrangler because it's small enough that you can't fit enough Christmas tat on it to mess it up.

Update:
On the subject of Christmas, I personally hope they stop churning out new items for that event. There's tons of Christmas weapons, no point in making more.
