I think I'll play scream fortress a little more this year. I'm in that Halloween mood.

Been waiting for October and Scream Fortress to hit, so I could buy some keys and maybe unlock some boxes and get some cool new items. (As someone said the drop rate/unusual rate is higher during Scream Fortress) Is there anything to look for in particular? Since I haven't followed TF2 for the last few years, I don't know if there's anything in the Halloween events you can earn. Only things I have are the Bombinomicon, the giant eye hat, some spellbook page thing, and a few various Halloween cosmetics. Max Wilco fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Oct 4, 2019 |

Scream Fortress achievement items (with requirements in the link): Unfilled Fancy Spellbook Bombinomicon Skull Island Topper MONOCULUS! Hoseless Headless Horsemann's Head Mildly Disturbing Halloween Mask Ghostly Gibus or the other variations of Haunted Metal Scrap which you can turn into Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker Scream Fortress cosmetic transmutes: The Soul Gargoyle can transmute three unique or haunted cosmetics into an untradable Halloween cosmetic, which if you're lucky can net you expensive stuff like Chicken Kiev or Hundkopf on the cheap (but again, an untradable version). For every 10 transmutes you get an extra Halloween cosmetic, and each combine you get a chance at some bonus drops like spell pages or a Halloween case. Basically it's a really cheap way to gamble cosmetics compared to opening crates, though the results aren't tradable and you can't get unusuals from it.

Anarch posted:Scream Fortress achievement items (with requirements in the link): I have quite a few of those (the Bombinomicon, the Skull Island Topper, Monoculus, Mildly Disturbing Halloween Mask, the Spellbook (still unfilled, with only one page in my inventory), and the Ghastlierest Gibus). I don't have the Haunted Metal Scrap, and it looks like the requirements to get it is to beat the Horseless Headless Horsemann with melee attacks. I tried doing this today on one map (Slasher), but I either got killed by other players or the Horsemann himself. Then again, that map I think was a mix of all the Halloween stuff, and I remember there was one he showed up on specifically, so maybe it's easier to do it there. It looks like you can't get the Soul Gargoyle anymore. It sounds like it was only available for the 2015 event. - Apart from keys, I also thought about getting the ticket to do contracts, and maybe the ticket for Mann Vs Machine. I got a free MvM ticket back when I think it first launched, and I just recently finished a mission with it. Do you have to buy multiple tickets for a whole mission set to get the weapons with the robot-head decorations? Max Wilco fucked around with this message at 06:03 on Oct 4, 2019 |

I wouldn't bother unless you really enjoy mvm and are more interested in playing than the prize itself. You can buy the botkiller weapons on the market for cheap if there's one you specifically want.

I tried starting up the game this morning, but I didn't see it come up in an inventory search, and there was no notification for a new item for it. I thought it was because I didn't have the Masked Mann achievement, but it looks like I got that back in 2011, so I don't know.

I've seen threads on TF2's steam discussions about people not getting gargoyles this year. Hopefully someone at Valve will care long enough to fix it before scream fortress is over.

Many of the animal heads are valuable due to furries, but there are other popular Halloween cosmetics such as Beep Man, Second Opinion or Abhorrent Appendages. Max Wilco posted:I tried starting up the game this morning, but I didn't see it come up in an inventory search, and there was no notification for a new item for it. There's a chance you will get the gargoyle when you log in during the actual Scream Fortress content update - last year that was mid-October and it was specifically listed in the patch notes.

Yeah, scream fortress hasn't actually started yet, they're just opening up the Halloween maps and costumes. The real thing might not actually start till right before Halloween but it will probably have contracts, drops, new cosmetics, all that jazz. Galaxander posted:I've seen threads on TF2's steam discussions about people not getting gargoyles this year. Hopefully someone at Valve will care long enough to fix it before scream fortress is over. Like I said, this isn't scream fortress, this is just "here play some Halloween maps while we get the update ready." Baron von Eevl fucked around with this message at 15:03 on Oct 4, 2019 |

I just figured Scream Fortress started as soon as October rolled in. That explains it. Does that mean the whole double-rate drop thing doesn't apply either until Scream Fortress actually starts?

Edgar Allen Ho posted:I added you just know. I just accepted. I mainly can play soldier and demo at a nominal level, and everything else mediocrely. As far as goon discord’s, I’m only apart of serious overchill, but that’s more Destiny and Overwatch, but they have a lot of other random games as well. If there’s an old one from the LCs I don’t know it.

Hm, not sure if I like those new maps too much. Precipice is probably okay, though it barely has any gimmicks. Laughter's layout (somehow) confuses me and the two deathtrap holes by the capture point are unfun.

The crates from the contracts aren't marketable this year, which means there's really no reason to play unless you want to since you can't make money from hat barons / gambling addicts unless you're valve I bought a key and got the pocket halloween boss, immediately remembering why I stopped buying keys Also some dude I was in a server with opened forty boxes and I got the itch e: the pocket halloween boss's ghost version paints the hat, you can't carry around a small green ghost. This item fuckin sucks!!! Grapplejack fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Oct 11, 2019 |

Grapplejack posted:The crates from the contracts aren't marketable this year, which means there's really no reason to play unless you want to since you can't make money from hat barons / gambling addicts unless you're valve I bought $10 of Steam credit last weekend, so I'm probably going to buy a couple of keys because I like making poor decisions. The only thing I have bought so far, though, is the ticket for the contracts, and I have to say, I'm annoyed you can't have multiple contracts running at once.  I got the Soul Gargoyle, though, so I'm happy about that. One odd thing I had happen is that after the game updated, I couldn't get it start at first, so I tried verifying the game files, and that seemed to fix it (even though there was nothing to download). However, in trying to find a solution in the Steam discussions, I found this thread, which I have to share: https://steamcommunity.com/app/440/discussions/0/3175526477753177228/

I'm not really feeling most of the Halloween case cosmetics this year, except for the unique drops. The unusual cosmetic and taunt effects are pretty good though! If you're unboxing, take note that older "case" boxes contain the Halloween goodies (unusuals, unusualifiers, paint, etc) and will list it in their description; older "crate" boxes do not have this.

 if halloween did anything good this year it's probably the fact that you can look like this with every class now

They really need to do a pass on what's halloween only and what isn't. Also I saw warpy in the wild! It was cool. I miss the LCs.

Another update, huge changes to Precipice it appears. Probably warranted, all the times I've played it so far it always felt extremely choke-point-y similar to the earliest maps, not in a good way.quote:Updated the Accursed Unusual taunt effect to fix a problem with the color

I'm impressed they put so much effort into making Precipice better, but on the other hand, it's still payload.

They're ugly as sin yet combo well with a bunch of stuff -- that's where the meme magic of these Scream Fortress miscs come from. Grapplejack posted:They really need to do a pass on what's halloween only and what isn't. But THIS entirely. We're well beyond Teutonkahmun vs Crown of the Old Kingdom, and have been for a long time with stuff that breaks the art style, disguises hitboxes, or whatever. I wish they'd review what actually constitutes as a Halloween hat but I doubt they will. The answer is undoubtedly money and effort. If the Potassium Bonnett was a Halloween hat it wouldn't be nearly as popular and pricey (and there's actually a banana collector who uses glitched killstreak kits to turn them non-tradeable, which further drives up the price of the tradeable versions). They couldn't move anything currently active into Halloween-only status because people would throw a fit that their hat only works a fraction of the time, plus it would require some serious effort on Valve's part and... yeah.
