Expecting Valve to probably fix this with this being out in the open for eveyone to exploit. Especially after them just releasing an update to try and fix pyro to make them more consistent.

Also turns out strange crit kills part counts mini-crtis.

The new flamethrower particles are definitely acting weird. I killed a backburner pyro running straight at me as Heavy, spun down, turned around, and then got hit by the backburner crits. The pyro being long dead.

I've died to a pyro after killing him and after afterburn had finished ticking down. I had like...40 health left, something like that and was escape planning back to spawn when I suddenly died.

Constantly happens in pyro duels now. Drop the other guy, turn to walk away, die. I even asked one, and he told me that on his end, I died first.

Fun bug:

I didn't have an ubersaw (of any kind) in my inventory, but one of the new weapon paints allowed me to outright create one out of nothingness.

That's not a bug, just how it actually works. War paints are more like a voucher to buy a new weapon of your choice with a specific paint job, they can't modify existing ones.

Which is actually kinda sucky, since it doesn't let you apply a skin to your strange killstreak weapons.

So randomly unboxed a crate and got this

I knew that if I sold the unusual war paint I unboxed, I'd just end up using the funds to unbox more and end up getting jack poo poo.

Maybe try listing it on Marketplace.tf or Backpack.tf instead of Steam Market? I think high-value items go better there.

Doesn't this mean you also can't see when a pyro is trying to kill you?

then again that means you can actually see the pyro to shoot him as opposed to being blinded by flames so

Pyro flames still work but items with certain paint jobs don't show at all.

I unboxed this just a few hours ago:


My first unusual! To be fair I've only opened maybe a dozen of these paid crates over the years, but it still feels nice

Hey, would you be willing to trade with me and switch our unusualifiers? I was gonna PM you but you have PM's turned off. I was just gonna use my unusualifier because I'm not interesting in doing the steam market thing either. I don't have the victory lap taunt, however, and I'm sure as hell not down to drop $13 to buy it just so I can unusualify it. I do have the kazotsky kick, though. I think our unusualifiers are similar in value, in fact i think the victory lap one is worth slightly more.

Sure, toss me a message at -SNIP- . I don't have plat, so that's probably why I don't have PMs.
I don't have the Kazotsky Kick either, so it doesn't really matter to me whatever I put up, and they do seem to be worth about the same.

I seriously don't know what to do with this thing whether to cash out now and wait a month or just trade it for so many keys i never have to buy any cosmetics again.

$100 on the steam marketplace but worth over 250 keys.

Convert it into keys ASAP. Don't accept paypal, don't accept "half up front, half after trade" and if anyone tries to alter the agreed upon deal, immediately unfriend them and move on.

TF2Outpost and backpack.tf would be where I'd start first by listing the item for sale and your asking price. It may take a few days to find a serious buyer, and expect to be added by a dozen scammers who will try to trick you somehow.

Started the game and got a little message telling me that a person I reported got banned.

1. :)

2. Is that a new thing, or is this the first time anyone I reported in my years of playing TF2 got banned?

...

Do you think the game balance would be wrecked if every class got to use 2 secondary weapons (in addition to the primary and melee, with the medic using two "primary" weapons and 1 medigun)? I think it would be interesting.

Balance would become utterly, utterly, utterly destroyed. Imagine if you will, a heavy with sandvich + dalokahs. Or Sandvich + banana. Picture a soldier with the gunboats + a shotgun. Or gunboats + a banner. Or two banners. There'll be charging, sticky dropping demomen. Engineers with the wrangler and the short circuit together. It would be madness.

Now allowing you to equip a secondary in PLACE of your primary, that might be interesting. I wanna go pistoleer scout, but his low amount of ammo for it sucks. Having two would make that a lot better.

I'm imagining most of those. And it doesn't strike me as horrifying. What do you think the effect of two healing items would be?

It does make sense to either restrict soldiers to one banner, or make them only charge one at a time. Really, targe + stickies is the only one that strikes me as particularly broken.
