Saoshyant posted:Every recent Halloween update has had a comic to go along with it, but this time they started a "monthly" comic and haven't followed through with that. Either they end up being the one and the same and we will see tomorrow, or there's no Halloween comic. They said it was going to be bi-monthly, so if it comes out with the Halloween update that'll be right on time. e: f,b So if they added the Samson Wig from the Skullgirls collection you could pair it with a painted Tutu and have maid Heavy. CoolCab posted:To any new players that might be reading this as it's early in the thread: if you want to win, play Medic (you want to win). If there's a Medic, play Demoman. If you're struggling with Demoman, use the stickylauncher exclusively since you can land ridiculous kills with it without needing much twitch skills (it gets better the worse the players you're facing are, exploit this), and as you do so, practice landing grenades, it's not as hard as it seems. To echo this, playing Medic in a normal pub game can easily turn the tide of battle, not just because you provide healing but because you can indirectly control the team. It might take them a few deaths, but eventually people will start hanging around you and sticking close so you get to choose the attack routes. Playing Engie can have the same effect, teleporters will directly put people where you want and they'll run back to your sentry-protected dispenser safe haven, especially on A/D maps.

I do love popping a kritz uber on a Soldier using the Bazooka. Kritzooka is perfect for wiping out whatever's coming down a chokepoint. Ideally you'll have someone else to share the charge with so it's used effectively, but if I see a Soldier playing well I'll turn him into a gibbing machine.

Spacedad posted:Pubbie Crawl - A midweek or end-week event involving pubbie servers, gimmicking, and booze. (Or caffeine if you don't drink.) Basically, moving from pubbie server to server acting like goofballs. Possibly might limit this to once a month. Heck, let's make it a drinking game! Teleporter facing the wall? Take a shot. Uber a Demoman and he pulls out his melee? Finsih your drink. Spacedad posted:Attack on heavy - A single massively health-boosted size-boosted melee heavy weapons guy versus a team of 29 players. (Or a few of them.) The only weapons usable are rocket jumpers and market gardeners with mantreads. (This would involve server modding and playtesting to get right.) Could this be done by setting up some kind of custom MvM thing? One of those giant supercharged Heavies seems to be just the thing (though with Melee). If not, maybe some kind of permenant Quick-Fix uber with a health increase?

RPATDO_LAMD posted:Keys cost about twice as much in Imaginary Useless TF2 Metal, but they're still the same in real-world dollars. It's not that the value of keys has doubled, it's the value of metal (and therefore weapons and craft hats) which has halved. I was about to post this. "Real-world" money is also a bit of a misnomer, because Steam Wallet money is worth less than Paypal money. What's odd is that keys have stayed the same price at the Mann Co. store through everything. I'd like to see what happens if they raised or drop the price. The Hatconomy is a wonderful way to learn how economics works. It's fun watching how developments like store hats being craftable affects market prices.

Slime posted:But sometimes, sometimes you run into some guys who know how to use a medic. They look after you, and are constantly checking around for threats to their medic buddy. Those times make playing medic so worth it. I usually look for a few things for primary heal targets. Fancy hats, scoreboard toppers, stock (or close to stock) Demomen, banner Soldiers, Pyros who extinguish you, and Heavies who throw Sandviches. My best experience was when I found a Buff Banner Soldier who timed his banner with my ubercharge while we were playing defense on stage 3 Dustbowl. We pushed through and took out most if not all of the offensive team. Then we did it AGAIN when they respawned. He sent me a friend request when the match was over.  LogisticEarth posted:Is the overdose really worth it for the speed boost? Only 10% at full charge means most if the time it does nearly nothing. Unless I'm missing something. It really is IMO. Only a 10% loss in damage from your primary is pretty minor compared to, say, an 8% speed boost when you've got an 80% ubercharge you don't want to lose and need to find some cover or teammates.

LogisticEarth posted:I guess that makes sense. For some reason I had it in my head that the boost only was in effect when the primary was out. I need to play medic more but Jesus is it an uphill battle in pubs. You weren't wrong. But if there's nobody else around, you shouldn't have anything but your primary out, trying to regroup and firing at anything and everything, because the entire other team is likely on their way to try and kill you.

So far I've collected 9 pages and added them to my spellbook. Which is now a Fancy Spellbook. It now has the description: Pages of Tumidum: 1 Pages of Gratanter: 2 Pages of Audere: 6 I researched them and translated them from latin, tumidum is "swelling", gratanter is "rejoicing", and audere is "daring" ...so I have no idea what any of it actually means

There have been people who have been collecting particular items for no reason, or to to craft them into a random hat, so I guess it rewards them. If they ever come out with one that requires crates, I'll be set.

Since Halloween is over, it's time to prep for Christams! I've got my Pyro decked out in Prancer's Pride, Nose Candy (Happy style) and Jingle Belt. Festive Flamethrower and Axtinguisher are in hand, now they just need to release a Festive Shotgun or Flare Gun. It occurred to me today that you could run a highlander team with eight reindeer and either Santa or Rudolph. Call it "Santa's Slay Team"

Dr. Dos posted:It also combos well with the crossbow's passive reloading. You can fire a shot, and pull out extra healing until you're able to fire again. It also returns the healing to normal if you're using the Blutsauger I don't think you'll take afterburn damage, no. The old +1 per second to the regen with the set bonus meant you took no degreaser damage.

Demoman in MvM is just kind of vanilla right now. He doesn't really get new abilities unless you're running Demoknight. Most other classes get something special, like Scouts money collection, Medic's shield, Soldier's got the ability to stun now which is really useful against the big robots. Hopefully the next MvM update will give him something like increased knockback or ability to ignite enemies.
