I love Sentry Busters now. I'll never complain about their .75 second respawn any more <3

Looks like Engineer is going to be fun now in MVM :v:

Do the Sentry Busters hurt tanks also?

Wonder if this will lead to Engies making suicide runs into large groups of bots while carrying sentries? That will be interesting to see.

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;42238875]Do the Sentry Busters hurt tanks also?[/QUOTE] Nope. it was confirmed that they didn't yesterday in the MUS thread

Is it me or is the "Halloween 2013" tag broke in the UI thing? After I updated my submission it was labeled as "Sound device".

[IMG]http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/3317/zd7a.jpg[/IMG] I think they might want to take another crack at that Halloween button.

So is this Sentry Buster thing an excuse to make people shoot it?

[QUOTE=YourBreakfsat;42238973]So is this Sentry Buster thing an excuse to make people shoot it?[/QUOTE] Or for Engies to, you know, run up to the thing and run back when it starts detonating.

so, I emailed Eric smith about how the busters 1 shotted giants (including the end bosses like captain punch) and I got a reply [t]http://puu.sh/4uJL3.png[/t] Edited because I dun goofed

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;42238988]Or for Engies to, you know, run up to the thing and run back when it starts detonating.[/QUOTE] am i the only one that honestly thinks they should remove that seriously, i doubt they ever intended for you to run at it like an idiot and be able to get away with it, and now since you can help thin out hordes by running at it like an idiot that just gives them all the more reason to change it

We literally can not mark things for Halloween because the Sound Device button is in the way.

Aww, come on! Every item restricted?! I just got back from telling them everyone hated that...

[QUOTE=thecuntsman;42239337]Aww, come on! Every item restricted?! I just got back from telling them everyone hated that...[/QUOTE] At this rate, TF2 itself will be halloween restricted.

Let's restrict [B][U]EVERYTHING[/U][/B] this year!"[/QUOTE] their response was along the lines of 'The way we look at it, at some point there will be enough restricted items, that they will be more of a 'thing' and people will almost look forward to being able to equip them during full moons' to which I said 'Well in that case could you give us a 'full moon' loadout page, that automatic activated during Halloween days?' It looks like they want a load of wacky and over the top submissions, like the fairy heavy from last year.

MvM is unfun enough already.

Incoming mini-update to fix the button. soon enough.

they fixed it

TF2 update #2 for 9/18/13 (9/19/13 UTC): Via [url=http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=11483]the TF2 site[/url]: [quote=Valve]- Fixed the "Halloween 2013" tag overlapping with the "Sound Device" tag in the Steam Workshop publish UI[/quote]

It's really bullshit to restrict such cool items.

Is it just me or are no bots spawning in mvm :v:

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;42239493]the more cool items that will be restricted, the more whining about the fact they're restricted there will be[/QUOTE] Yep It defeats the purpose of cosmetics entirely. People don't "look forward" to equipping an item for a couple days a month they might not even play on. People wear items (and buy items) to show off what they like and customize their class. A meta idea that this will make them "special" seems entirely pointless. Every other item doesn't need to be special, an item can stand on its own merits. From the sales of restricted items I guess they didn't learn. I suppose it'll take a bomb of a crate to show them, and even so they probably won't address the issue until it's too late to fix contributors being paid. Sad, they seem to have made up their mind and it will ruin the one consistently good update we have every year.

Nah, screw this. I'm going to spend this week making the most wonderful over the top shit you wont even believe. You will look forward to the days you will be able to wear these items, I swear it.
