Look at it this way, it makes it easy to pick out who not to heal and who to taunt every time you kill them.

I'm using Frankenhud, so I the spell icons must have been broken for me, thanks!

Also, I suddenly got my terrible clown shoes. They're untradeable this time, which doesn't surprise me at all. I kind of like the Medic's Vicar turtleneck, too bad I can't wear it all-year round.

EDIT: ^^ They're all in the store, so you can see them there. Or check the Workshop's 'Accepted for In-Game Use' filter!

My biggest gripe, aside from the items being halloween only, is that the soldier's Jiang Shi hat is way cooler than the all class one, which for some reason is just a tattered sailor cap with the paper talisman thing on.

I've been on a big Jiang Shi kick recently and an awesome all class hat would have made my day, I guess this one will do, if it's paintable maybe I can make it a colour that's less obviously a sailor cap.

I heard some new lines from the Medic, Spy, Soldier and Scout. I can't change my Sniper loadout to give him the spellbook, can anyone see if they've recorded new lines for him too? I don't think that he's had any since the Payload update, haha.

All the internet rage surrounding the Pink Unicorn hat amuses me greatly.
It's amazing how many people are threatening to boycott the game over the inclusion of a single hat out a batch of over 100 released in one day.

Got no crashes, played on one server and got a gift (The Handhunter) but couldn't get the hat at the end. Server changed to another map and I looked for another one, spent 40 minutes in it, saw no further gifts, but managed this time to get to the end and grab the achievement. Yet, got no hat. I assume that either something is broken or you need four of those new achievements to claim the item.

Don't particularly give a crap about the MLP hat, especially if it's Halloween only. On a game that has servers straight up marked as furry zones, the concept of some poor idiots wanting to cosplay as pink ponies just doesn't register.

Still, words cannot express how useful these new Medic changes are. You can actually use the crossbow to heal people effectively outide of Medieval Mode, and no more ubering a Demoman with an empty clip!

I figured out that if you get the mouse spell and go through the little doorway in the health room where the carts start it teleports you to the other team's health room :3

any speculation on what the spell books do?

Says once you have enough pages they can be used to cast spells, so I guess the spell book that you started with is temporary? Maybe the spell book will let you cast a single spell as much as you want. The spell book is this year's achievement item, I believe, I could be wrong though, the achievement is called 'hat out of hell'.

Holy crap I joined one server and everyone was freaking out because I was killing the other team.
"STOP STOP NO KILLING NO KILLING ITS BLUS TURN ITS BLUS TURN!"
Apparently it was blu's turn to win and I wasn't playing by their weird amnesty rules. They all wanted the achievement or something I don't know. It was just some Pinion server to not even some "Achievement Idle" server. Since none of them knew how to vote me off and it wasn't official I just kept blowing them up and they kept screaming over voice chat for me to stop.
I was recording a demo of it so hopefully I'll have some nice footage of the whole thing. It was so surreal, I felt like some sort of mad king or the first guy who figured out "violence".

Since limited-time events started in TF2 it's generally been a thing for people to work together and clean up the achievements/special items just because it's hell to get most of them regularly and pretty much everyone wants to get their stuff. Sorry this is a new thing to you, dude, but hopefully you won't be surprised next time when people call you a dick for it v:shobon:v

I'm looking forward to this so much, I love the crossbow, I love playing Medic. That instant recognition of clip status is going to be so great and using the crossbow to actually defend myself won't be so frustrating anymore! It's great getting a bolt on a Scout then sawing them down as they come in for a meatshot, coincidentally this tactic featured twice on the latest Top 10 Plays video :allears:

Holy poo poo, the office temp they got to voice the Pyro in Sonic Racemans did a better job than that.

Sniper actually sounds good though! Compared to how much Heavy and Demoman have changed, he sounds really consistent.

There were rumors that the Engineer was going to be voiced by Nolan North from now on. No idea how legitimate that is, but just throwing it out there. I think that he sounds pretty different too.
