Thank you! It's so weird to see that people have this perception of TF2.

Adding crates sort of ruins the reputation of the game, I guess...

Trite, contrived, mediocre, milquetoast, amateurish, infantile, cliche-and-gonorrhea-ridden paean to conformism, eye-fucked me, affront to humanity, war crime, should *literally* be tried for war crimes, talentless fuckfest, pedantic, listless, savagely boring, just one repulsive laugh after another
The Loch and Load was definitely considered superior to the regular nade launcher before being nerfed. You can also see a whole laundry list of balance changes on the latest TF2 blog entry, where they are nerfing or buffing a large number of weapons, some of which have been unchanged for years previously.

TF2 isn't/ wasn't a game I would immediately describe as "pay to win" because they made sure to keep the stock weapons competitive...in most situations. When you add that many new weapons to the game, with 9 classes and untold number of maps, then eventually you are going to end up with weapons that are stronger in some situations. If your medic can switch between the ubercharge and the kritzkrieg depending on the situation, and the enemy medic cant, then your medic has the advantage even though the ubercharge isn't necessarily more powerful than the kritz.

So I don't really blame people of being wary of pay-to-win when microtransactions are introduced to a game. Luckily it's really easy to sidestep that poo poo by just adding cosmetics, and CS:GO has proven that can still rake in mad cash. My only worry in PUBG is they'll add clothing that blends in too well in certain maps.

It was the closest thing to game breaking because a good Congo dance line would be over half the server from both teams. I almost made it dancing the entire way next to the cart on pl_upward, only died with a little bit left. Pubg would make funny money off the tf2 model but I hope it doesn't go there and become too goofy like h1z1.

I think it's a pretty easy solution because the default skins are your best bet for blending in while everything else is gonna be loud as gently caress. Which is good. They better give us a fuckin chicken suit because you know only the proest of the pro will be rocking that.

Just make sure you're in push-to-talk mode for your mic cause otherwise when you unmute you'll be open mic'd for the entirety of your game.

Nah, the pros will wear whatever blends in the most and get all pissy when some scrub in a chicken suit kills them.

When all is said and done, I don't think I could ever find fault with someone for opposing micro transactions on principle, especially when you are already playing full price to essentially beta test a game. These games earn a staggeringly large amount of money, easily enough to fund ongoing support for the game for a long long time, they simply do it because they know that idiots* will pay for it. On the other hand though, I will stop at nothing until I have a Battle Royale costume and I hate myself for it. Its the same with Overwatch, but at least that allows you to unlock crates through regular gameplay.

Calling someone a whiny baby or whatever because they think micro-transactions are bullshit is definitely going too far the other way though.

*like me

To be fair PUBG isn't a full priced game, it's 30 bucks.

I was saying to a mate if they ever introduced micro-transactions to pubg that'd be it - it'll be one of the biggest games of all time. That's because people love PUBG, and people also love gambling and customization. Think about the fever that was TF2 hats or still is CSGO weapon skins.

Apparently that rocket launcher if you aren't against an engineer. Hence the whole emphasis on it being based on options. Of course you don't have a huge advantage all the time, but statistically it's an edge.

There's no data I know of on how clothing contributes to being spotted. As long as you can't pay to start with a g-suit it's not a big deal I'm sure.

Someone will pay 8 bucks for actually-squeaking oversized clown shoes cosmetic item.

Someone will murder a dozen people in school wearing actually-squeaking oversized clown shoes cosmetic item.

:getin:

I don't mind exclusive items, and I don't mind pay2crate, but for something "purely cosmetic" there should be an avenue to acquire it throuh gameplay, even if it's korean MMO levels of grinding to get it. Events, limiteds, crossovers, exclusives, those get a "key only" pass; compare to the twitch lucha mask - yeah, you could link and get it free, but :effort: or you could hit the marketplace and :homebrew: one for yourself.

What pisses me off more is possibly that the increasing price of a crate weekly has no correlation to increased rarity, your 700 crate drops the same chances of tan fingerless gloves that the 4900 crate has.

Oh melee is just straight garbage. The whole system needs to be scrapped and overhauled in a big bad way. Punches currently hurt more than a goddamn machete, collision sucks, and random animations that have different swing arcs and timing is just the worst loving idea.
