He has always had terrible hats. I love the class and the character and so many of the miscs, but Scout has some of the worst hats in the game, probably only competing with Pyro as the other comic relief class.

I really don't see anything that sets Scout hats apart as generally dreadful. Its Sniper that has the lousy hats!

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take

Who uses the phrase "comic relief" as a pejorative in the context of Team loving Fortress 2?

Relief from what exactly? The entire game is a comedy cartoon.

Medic and Soldier are the only classes with good hats. This is because they are the best classes.

Engie with the straw hat & gold tooth/beard becomes crazy prospector engie which is the best class in the game.

I don't think I can even say that any class actually has good hats since I'm mostly concerned with who has the best coats or torso items that change their look up enough. Like the Bushi-Dou or Colonel's Coat. Hell, most of the 'hat' items I use most don't even have hats on them like Your Worst Nightmare or Spook Specs.

Pyro has the best hats, spy has the worst. This is why spies love to backstab me when I'm a pyro, so they can look as pretty as me~

Spies do kinda have the worst hats. Scouts have good stuff though. Can't say no to the whoopee cap and tosslecap!

Demoman though, he's got the best hats. :colbert:

i've set up two really good outfits for my spy: one has the ballroom mask, fancy powdered wig dyed brown, and that fancy promo coat that came with the medic coat which i got both of for some mysterious reason even though i only bought another game in that deal for the demo cape. the other is just ellis's cap, the open suit jacket misc, and the license to maim badge so he looks like some casual inspector being dragged out to the boonies to investigate mysterious happenings.

of course, they're spy outfits, so it requires me to actually play spy and even then i'll be invisible half the time or in disguise.

That's the tragedy of Spy. No one gets to see your fancy duds unless you're dead. It makes that "Well Dressed Cadaver" magazine from Expiration Date the Spy is reading all the more fitting

Wearing ridiculous hats as a Spy makes up for the "usually invisible" part for me. Nothing better for a slain foe to finally glimpse their murderer wearing a fake beard, cartoon dog hat and Pyrovision Goggles.

If I have a spray image set in tf2 that I think is there through steam cloud magic, is there any way to get the file back onto my hard drive in a usuable image format? All the files I find where sprays should be kept are vtfs and vtms.

I'll never get why the Spy obscures all decorative items when disguised. Suits and badges wouldn't clip with the facemask, but it still won't show those either. I really wish they'd do something about that, it's a little sad that allies will never see my duds except for possibly the .5 seconds I spend in spawn before disguising or if they stumble across my corpse.

At least I assume a dead disguised Spy's miscs show up. It wouldn't surprise me if it didn't, though.

I mean, it is helpful on occasion to have it really obvious that your teammate spy is currently disguised. Especially in dumb pubbie games, where the disguise is actually good for more than sentry-proofing, it's nice not to heal your disguised teammate within view of the enemy, at the very least.

Which is why being outlandishly more ridiculous than everyone else is unnecessary. But they'll keep doing it with Scout hats. (Pyro too but pyro mains seem to eat that poo poo up.) Want a cool hat on par with all the sweet poo poo Soldier, Medic, Demo, etc. get? Too bad. Here's another hat that makes you look like a hot-dog. Or a chicken. Or a six-year-old circa 1948. Or hats that clip with your own loving head. All the classes have some silly hats and Scout has a couple non-silly things that aren't awful but in general he spends all his available cool points on the misc slot.

I dunno, The scout looks pretty good in a lot of the all class hats, Bill's Beret, Graybanns. He has the hockey mask if you play on any halloween enabled servers. I also really like the El Jefe.

Of course if there were a poop hat I'd wear that.

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.

The problem with the more fancy festive ones is that if you're not familiar with it, you don't know what it is. I was playing medic in a lobby and missed the sandvich because it was festive and didn't look anything like a sandvich.

Scout has the worst hats because he has terrible fashion sense. It's all justified by the lore.

Also a crippling insecurity that he tries to hide from everyone. Which I figure is why a fair number of the early hats were embarrassing in some capacity.

It usually ends around noon or sometime that evening. The items still have another 7 hours, as of this posting, before they expire.

I... I assume so too. The event is still going, and will probably end in about 21 hours. I guess I don't understand why you're saying "I thought" and "I assumed" in the past tense -- has something happened to change your mind?
