/tf2g/ - Team Fortress 2 General

This game is still locked up, anyone actually having any luck getting in?

I do get in after long waiting periods, but then I play a round and Everything sucks.

Anyone wanna do contracts together? None of my friends play TF2.

Valve already made a good jetpack, why did they have to make it work by taking it out when you could just crouch and then jump?

>streamable
fuck off with your reddit site

see

I’m waiting to play it for the first time, this queue time sucks

So i havent played this game since they added crafting, I got 3 refined, what should I do with it? Is it worth crafting into a hat?

...

>Spend LITERALLY ALL FUCKING AFTERNOON waiting for queue to end
>Finally get in
>End round
>Next round starts
>20 seconds after starting
>Disconnected: server shutting down

I HAVE LITERALLY PAID THEM FOR THEM TO LAUGH AT MY FACE

>finally connected
>2fawrt
beggars cant be choosers

>New SFM
>[YouTube] Jungle Inferno (embed)

it has very little value these days due to rampant inflation, if you want a hat you can probably straight up buy it for about 1.55 refined
>worked fine a few hours after launch
>it's broken again
I don't understand

Fuck you, son. I don't feel like making webums. Trimming MP4s is easier.

It's another update that doesn't fucking work episode.

go to scrap.tf and buy two hats for 1.33 refined, have .33 refined left over, craft a hat with the two hats

pyro is so fucking bad now it's unreal

>flames don't work at close range
>flame falloff increased drastically
>flamethrower range overall decreased
>airblast is COMPLETE RNG and does literally nothing unless you aim at the ground or sky when near someone, and even then is entirely unpredictable. it fucks both you and your target over far more than old airblast despite the notes saying they wanted the opposite. fucking demoknights can't even be stopped. pyro has no self defense whatsoever.
>flame particles linger too long
>there's literally no skill involved with the class anymore at all, especially pyro vs. pyro
>pyro vs. pyro fights always end in trading deaths because airblast does jack shit and even if you get lucky and push the other guy back the flames still hit you because they linger for a full fucking second and are unavoidable. pulling out secondary means you lose.
>heavies are now 3x harder to kill due to the falloff, inability to hit point blank, and particles being autistic against slow or stationary targets

this is far and away the absolute worst fucking thing valve has ever done to an already weak class and the game as a whole. i want to uninstall so badly but i'm holding onto a tiny bit of hope that all this gets fixed.

Sweet

Open it for me lads or sell for dosh?

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

WHEN DO THE CONTRACTS EXPIRE

sell now, buy and open later when the price drops

nobody here's gonna click on your shit link so you either webm this shit up or get zero (You)s

in fucking feb, you pleb

feb 11

FEBRUARY NEXT YEAR

25 people click on that shit on average. And I'm not a retard, so I don't care about you's.

4 months of nothing but pyros

February

It is impossible to win a Pyro 1v1 if the enemy has the Dragon Fury and you don't.

Brainlet here. I'm queued in causal with only jungle inferno ticked and the queue never resolves, same thing if I select core game modes. Servers down or something?

shogtun

its called using the stock shotgun

Thanks

So like what's the consensus? Do you still just run degreaser and shotty/flare? Or is m1ing that strong now? What about fury?

Strafe good. Shotgun if alone, backburner in a team cloud of fire.

>take engineer contract so i can grind all these dumb as fuck 12v12 pyro matches
>sentry kills tracker is broken
why the fuck do the contracts not even work on top of everything else that made this update launch a trainwreck

valve's incompetent programming is leaving hundreds of game servers completely empty. servers aren't the issue, valve is

>contract is complete but haven't finished bonuses
>it gets rid of my banana randomly so I try and do the thing where i activate another contract and then activate it again
>it doesn't let me activate it again, only turn it in
NO
NO FUCK THIS
I WAS GONNA GET A PERFECT ON EVERY CONTRACT
FUCKING VALVE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>pyro now requires skill
>yet w+m1 is stronger than ever

PYRO IS A BROKEN CLASS WHICH CAN NOT BE SALVAGED AT ANY POINT AND SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH A PURE MELEE CHARACTER

>"Why is Pyro so bad no-"
>Remember they added a RL for him
Pyro's buff was just to make him bad soldier.

it's all just me F5ing it so you don't feel bad

nevermind, it lets you do secondary obectives even after submitting results

So why should I spend more money on a strange paint when I could just slap a StatClock on it?

anyone else stuck on "Queued for casual"?

stat clocks are fuckin' ugly

no one will ever see either so why bother

This. You can see the valve servers in the server browser. There's at least 500 of them sitting on 0 players.
GEE IF ONLY WE COULD FUCKING CLICK ON THEM TO CONNECT.

>buy pass when it comes out
>have been able to play 4 games since release

valve doesn't deserve to live

>extinguish 30 teammates
help

but server browser is old stuff
get used to the MODERN and NEATO queue system ;)

Anywhere I can look at the new level icons?

bannanas are gonna be worth a ton after the update

everyone's abusing fury while its balls overpowered

Well it's the only heavy contract in pyroland, not like you can swap it out or take it off

can't you only put stat clocks on civilian grade?

yes

Where do we access the server browser in the new menu?

Can you transfer killstreak kits from weapon to another, i.e. a skin? I like some of these new skins but don't want to spend a bunch of money on new kits.

all the contracts that involve defending a point are broken

they don't go up

>friend keeps trying to join my party

>but don't want to spend a bunch of money on new kits
That's the magic of it, you have to pay more

they work until you reach 100cp, from what i've seen

The Queued for Casual Update.

that's moronic

...

so are the queues fucked or what ??

noone cares

@ the people who can't log in: thanks for beta testing the new update while I continue to enjoy anime.

see

It works like ass. Tried everything that could be considered defense, gained points in defense and nothing.

Then I shot a guy in the head near the payload almost getting at the final point and got the bonus.

Valve QA, as always.

If it's strange, I get it ok thanks

So does matchmaking not work at all anymore or is it just me?

>anime
>2017
don't you think that's a little blasé?

do it the other case is trash

How long until I can trade for a matchmaking pass?

T F TWO G is always right, kids. Listen to them.

this is an imageboard, we can just post the texture flie here

>blasé
Nani?

Don't worry, you'll hit the jackpot next time ;-)

>have premium tf2 acc
>give valve your phon number

it works on valve time

The airblast is what makes me rage the most. Like it's not fucking working, at best you make people slide 3 feet on the floor.

pyro is wayyy too strong now imo, at least in regards to primaries. the fact that flames block healing make it a pain in the ass for meds.
the secondaries arent that relevant to be eich
>things that got nerfed too little
crossbow
>things that deserve a nerf
quick-fix, vacc, wrangler, dhit (at least damage cap)

so do we just not share loadouts anymore or what? post your mains

Any new voice lines? I never heard heavy say "I am an animal" before, which he does for a yeti taunt

Fuck, I meant the campaign pass.
I can't even scalp the market because I wasn't a good goy and didn't buy any game in a year

I have an quick question about the contracts.
Will they expire after a certain date, or will I be able to complete them in a while?

I don't have time to play the game right now but I don't want the contracts to expire before I finish them all.

Yeah, Pyro wasn't used in competitive, so they nerfed his normal set and gave him an overpowered ranged weapon. You're not supposed to use the old weapons anymore.

just had a pugchamp match where neither meds used crossbow. it was pretty nice. fights were much more "natural" so to speak, considering weak players didnt get insta 100hp from far away from med.
>Comp mm
its not worth it. just go to tf2center or get in touch with a compfriend for newbie mixes.
