If only you could apply spells to your base weapons, I want a shotgun that makes people poop ghosts when they die! I had a strange shotgun from a crate once, I didn't know what strange meant, or the relative value of said strange weapon. I wondered if I could use it to make more strange scrap like the halloween stuff.. It did not.

Brasseye posted:Monoculus is a complete son of a bitch compared to the wizard boss. he teleports somewhere else whenever you get a good shot on him, kills in one hit and doesnt seem to have a kryptonite like the huntsman on the wizard. Itll be worth it once I get the achievement & can freely annoy the poo poo out of everyone that hasnt killed him yet though See that glowy thing Monoculus leaves behind when he teleports? Jump into it (it sucks you in if you're close enough so don't worry about being super accurate with the jump). Go through the course in sub-dimension and when you're back in eyeaduct, you have super speed, invuln and 100% crits. Crits stun Monoculus so you can get easy hits on it then, just beware that he goes MAD once he wakes up from the stun. I personally found the wizard being much harder to kill, even with huntsman. Just bad luck on prop hunts I guess.

QwertySanchez posted:If only you could apply spells to your base weapons, I want a shotgun that makes people poop ghosts when they die! If you want a cheaper route for ghost shotgun, get a regular killstreak kit for shotgun, apply it and then you can put the spell on it. If you need the spell, I can trade it cheap. Got three of the drat things in a row. Just word of advice, don't put ghosts on flame thrower. The flames cover up the effect pretty well. EDIT: Actually you can just put spells on the stock wepons with no killstreak needed! Choose spell, use it and when you're searching for a weapon for it, tick the box "show stock weapons" above the inventory slots.

I'd trade for one of those, that's the spell I'd been hoping for.

The wizard probably seemed easier for me because the server I was on worked together surprisingly well and about 5 people switched to huntsman sniper real quick. That & the tracer effect of the bow points everyone in the right direction when he teleports away. I hope people stop being stupid and trying to sell the glowing footstep spells for a key each soon. It looks cool and everything but a key is ridiculous.

This is why you sell all of your spells now and buy them back at a fraction of the price in a weeks time.

When does the Halloween rubbish end? I can barely find any servers that run my favourite maps, because it's all this Halloween event map nonsense with dumb gimmicks. I just want to shoot the mans.

Do spells on weapons expire after you apply them, or is it a permanent addition?

LogisticEarth posted:Do spells on weapons expire after you apply them, or is it a permanent addition? Valve changed the expiration interpretation last year, but they didn't say anything until after the Halloween events. Spells that are "applied" are allowed to exist forever. However, unused spells expire and are deleted. I lost over 10 spells because I didn't apply them to items.

I thought the same thing happened to me but I looked in my inventory and had six of those voodoo-cursed parts like the fish and robot arm. Also, can someone: Show off some of the Halloween effects on their characters or point me towards a guide showing off Halloween spell effects on the Steam community?

I've found that if you join MapA, and a gift drops but you do not pick it up (end of map, server restart, etc.) and join a new server on MapB, a gift will (usually) spawn before the timer of the first gift is done counting down - you get a 2nd Gift Appears message, you stand over the gift, and you get absolutely nothing. A short time later, you'll get a message popup "Gift has despawned" or something, which is actually talking about the gift that appeared on MapA - which leads me to believe there is a bug in Valve's code related to multiple-present spawns. Next time this happens to you, wait to pick up the MapB gift until you get the Gift Despawn message.

I didn't remember to check scores before joining a server and the map ended shortly after I joined.

I was going to get a name tag for my gibus but it turns out the character limit is 40 and "Derek Zoolander Hat For Kids Who Can't Play TF2 Good" is too many characters.

For the Halloween spells that you can apply to items, do their effects only show up during halloween/full moon?

So, I thought it was just my mouse juttering at first but after giving Pyro and Loose Cannon a shot I'm pretty convinced that the Huntsman is messed up now. Which is a real shame because that's one of the easier ways to fight Merasmus. Anyone else having problems with the Huntsman?

I've been really enjoying an all pirate load out for demoman, using the loose cannon to jump and fly around the map, while using the persian persuader and tide turner for added melee range and speed without losing any health, I only use my cannon as a weapon in emergencies, it's mainly for launching me around the map. So having every pickup be health is useful too. I rarely use my full compliment of bombs before I get killed anyway so it all works out. I want more weapons that give the classes more options in play style (hello fat scout), but I want in on some of those cosmetic items that affect gameplay for those wearing them too like the alien stuff, I hope to see more items along that line this halloween. Let the heavy use the shields as a replacement for his minigun.
