TF2 General Chat and Speculation Station V14 - The Bargaining Stage
999 replies, posted
Ah, I was wondering why I couldn't even get into the login page on mobile Firefox.
I've mentioned it a couple of times there, even opened a thread awhile back. Just wanted to share my shiny new logo with FP.
please sir, you said you were done posting here
stay true to your word
Teien expert was by no means unfun although it did veer into ”it wasn’t really hard it just had a lot of bullshit” at times.
But it is that bullshit that makes it unfun!
Every wave pays 600 and the waves are so difficult that you must A + every wave or the mission becomes impossible (and even then there is zero room for error and you have to minmax absolutely everything to stand a chance)
It feels like the Gas Passers explode on ignite was introduced to make that mission beatable
But my big gripe is that it was designed with the intention of being the hardest custom mvm mission, and it succeeds in that but turns into something nobody has fun playing.
And in doing so, before TT and CC, Teien was dead to me because it's only missions where a normal mode mission which bores me and an Expert mission which tunnelvisioned itself into becoming a frustrating experience.
Merry Christmas!
Reminder that during Jungle Inferno Smissmas, Miss Pauling wore reindeer horn so she's probably a bottom
silly you, she can't be a bottom if she's into tribadism.
So you own TF2Maps? And you too believe what you were told about that incident? That particular user never once called anyone a fag in #offtopic. I was there, I was witness to it and he even sent me a transcription of what was said between him and iiboharz in that channel. I spoke with him about this at length. He admitted that he did earn himself a 1 month forum ban for using that word in a deletion reason on a profile status update that was directed at iiboharz, but not once during his 10 minutes in the Discord did he say the word "fag". He told me when Void spoke to him, the only "evidence" that was provided was that iiboharz said he was being "toxic" which was not the case. There was a bit of confusion on iiboharz's part in how she took certain things he said entirely the wrong way, as he explains in the paste. Other than that, no one specific thing that he said was provided as the reason for the initial (and apparently 3 month long) ban. And why? Because all his messages were deleted. Your staff need some retraining to be taught to take screenshot evidence of what was said, or at least to not leave the option to delete all the user's messages on, because right now there's a few people who are quite miffed about the seemingly purposeful destruction of evidence. I get the whole "it's my community, my rules" shpiel, but you have people there running it like shit and giving your own community a bad name.
He has said he is willing to apologize to iiboharz for the message in the deletion reason, but only once he knows who banned him and why. He wants to know why because from his recollection of events and from what I (and others) witnessed, the jump to ban him was quite quick and came out of nowhere. Pinsplash and Ficool2 were witness to this as well. He was there for all of 10 minutes, was joking around, and got banned by who he believes was iiboharz for a reason he still hasn't been told because your staff won't talk to him. So please, do him the favor of reading that paste and maybe sit down with your staff and get some exact specific evidence to back your story up. He's provided his side of things. And please get back to him with an actual reason why he was banned/what rule was broken specifically and what specific message caused it. As for the whole "he evaded his ban with an alt", that too is also false. The alt account was in there for a lot longer than the main account was. Your Discord audit logs (or any bot logs if they log joins/leaves) should show this if you search them. Your staff didn't realize he has a mobile alt account that has the exact same username as his main PC account (for full disclosure purposes so nobody cries foul). Please. Do some research. Talk to people other than the yes men on your side. Figure things out for yourself.
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just helping a friend. And have a merry Christmas.
Geel does not own TF2Maps.
Also, that is... not a transcript. That's a summary. A transcript would be a chatlog.
fucking words, how do they work

Besides getting a 45 kill streak in this video B4nny says he sent a balancing essay to Valve and they said they would talk to him later about it. Not much but a small bit of info.
Are you by chance trying to login to Steam through a web browser, like Chrome?
Stupidly enough (and another reason to turn this feature off) is Chrome's tendency to store passwords in their *** asterisk form. In addition to this, even if you manually type out the password and attempt to submit the form it will re-fill the password with the asterisk version after you hit enter to submit, but just before it posts the page.
Took me a bit to to figure out this was the case. Wasn't too happy.
imagine getting banned less than 24 hours after your first post in the TF2 General thread
said post was completely unprovoked by the way- even if the staff were literal actual demons, that community is still one you would want to consult if you're making a modified Hammer for TF2 mapping. you're acting like you were contradicting me, but you weren't- you just saw an excuse to launch into this TF2Maps scandal tirade when it really just seems to boil down to "I think a contest was rigged despite a lack of compelling evidence" and "the mods banned my friends for being toxic because they're evil SJWs : ("
if you come back, please cease the drama posts and witchhunting
Marketplace.tf smashed our personal sales record on Christmas, and more than doubled last year's Christmas day sales volume.
In fact, today was the biggest day in tf2 cash trading in recorded history.
ah fuck i forgot to take part in the sale
oh well
Please Mr. Geel, spare some keys, alls I want for christmas is the Shovel Knight Rivals of Aether DLC
Keys drop in price on the market during steam sales pretty often, people want to sell their keys to be able to buy actual games.
geel now is your chance to buy every single refined and control the market, save the economy

I sure wish this thread was not polluted with trading garbage constantly. I would love to have more talk about weapons, classes and competitive.
In the discord some were talking about changes for the detonator and the fact that the scorch shot's bounce after getting a direct hit by it is annoying,what is the opinion for those things here?
Scrubby weapon for those that can't time detonator or direct hit multiple times with flare.
Firstly the splash, it's so god damn generous that I see pyros switch away from flamer, when they're still in primary range to shoot it at the floor because they can't aim with flamer perfectly.
Going through chokes or even peeking is a hassle, as all they need to do is spam that into the room and the generous afterburn does all the work.
Secondly the knockback, which personally is the biggest fuck you to this weapon as it perfectly tosses you up gently just so you can't move quick enough for follow up hits or from the enemy just spamming your ass to hell. It's the only somewhat 'skilled' part of the scorch shot since it requires you to direct hit, but it really is not fun in any situation.
Lastly the mini-crits, my god the mini-crits. This is such an unnecessary addition cuz it's not already good enough to have EZMode splash and knockback, but it can deal more impact damage on already burning targets. Making this the best choke/group spamming weapon for pyro.
Literally a braindead weapon and only really used by good players to build Mmmph as Phlog or to just be a nob.
scorch shot afterburn time and damage should scale with distance from the explosion center
it should bounce when hitting any surface, and only explode on the second impact
shit is annoying and has been since day one
trading is literally why TF2 still has players
i'd say its the reason why tf2 is still profitable for valve.
traders barely ever play the game per se.
or maybe the game is actually good?
To be fair, looking at cosmetic loadouts, planning out what unusual one can afford, hunting them down etc is much more exciting in my experience than actually using them in-game. In-game nothing changes except very rarely somebody will compliment your unusual. It's partly why I try to get screenshots of every unique unusual-wearer I see - it's fun to kind of acknowledge their unique item.
It still struggles with player retention.
I wish valve would finally pull the trigger and remove all guns from the game so we may finally trade in peace
Sure is laborious to have to see posts about tf2 in a TF2 thread.
