MvM Discussion Megathread: Do Androids Complain of Overpowered Upgrades? - Games

[QUOTE=Hng;43345960]39 tours later [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/687096419936177792/9E151AAB6BE40979C241700FDBE79DEA290A02CC/[/t] finally[/QUOTE] that was my first and only gold too I think it's technically the lowest value gold just because of its stats

[QUOTE=zekrom3112;43345784]I want a knockback resistance upgrade for Scout. They could just re-use the one on the Targe.[/QUOTE] With no knockback, it will be easier and more common that bots kill you. Knockback plays an important role in MvM, letting you escape from most of shots that would kill you otherwise.

Although, I also should probably tell my team mates to actually think before killing an enemy in a place like that and not need to do suicidal attempt for reaching the cash if we wish to get an A+.

Do you get extra money overheal for using the shortstop?

[QUOTE=Jonbon;43348150]Do you get extra money overheal for using the shortstop?[/QUOTE] Yeas, but the bonus is not really that big per cash pile and the increased knockback could be more harmful than it's worth sometimes.

Just completed my second tour [quote] [img]http://i.imgur.com/zHfcInE.jpg[/img] [/quote] Real cool, nice and all but when I equip it, it looks like a regular Axtinguisher. Any clue as to why ? [quote] [img]http://i.imgur.com/Tyj3EG6.jpg[/img] [/quote]

[QUOTE=allon;43348379]Just completed my second tour Real cool, nice and all but when I equip it, it looks like a regular Axtinguisher. Any clue as to why ?[/QUOTE] If you have any mods that change the Axtinguisher model, that'll stop the gold from showing up. All of the gold weapons are just an extra skin for the respective weapon, rather than a separate model like the 2012 and 2013 Festives.

Thank you, I simply reinstalled everything (something I do every once in a while) and now it has the correct skin.

[QUOTE=allon;43348379]Just completed my second tour Real cool, nice and all but when I equip it, it looks like a regular Axtinguisher. Any clue as to why ?[/QUOTE] do you have any custom settings like mat_phong or a lightwarp etc

I just imagine why Hilarious Pill likes to give people who get gold weapons boxes. I mean, dude, let's at least try to be happy for them, ok? :v:

He already got banned once over that or for being an asshole to people. I wonder why he even sticks around anyways if he hardly participates in anything apart from an occasional joining in a raffle.

[QUOTE=SergerantJoe;43352336]Isn't there already a loadout thread for showing off all that shiny junk you got?[/QUOTE] the loot is a considerable part of mvm. this is the mvm thread.

Does anyone have a general idea of the most liked to least liked Sheens/Killstreaker list? Or is that still just up to the individual person? Reason I ask is, On the steam market you see certain specialized/professional kits that have sold far higher than what the graph calls average. Also, lucky finds everyone, 67 tours done here. Im beginning to regret selling the Aus Ambassador i got on tour 9 because I haven't seen any Australiums since lol.

I have also seen people like the vilanious violet and Manndarin, but I don't know how popular they are. I haven't seen anyone saying "I sooo want a Emerald sheen", so I'm guessing this is the least wanted (even though it's one of my favorites)

Wonder when will the pubs stop pissing on Pyro, even in Mannhattan. [t]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/705110818626511119/9EE129C3338477355494481609AEBC3424DD17AB/[/t] Was using Backburner for all game. Could do better with Phlog I guess.

wow! you beat the game with 3 pyros. that's impressive! oh wait that's the dumb refunding

I did stay as Pyro for the whole game though. The other 2 were pretty much messing around as much as possible :v: Now that you mentioned about the upgrade refund shit, why did Valve bother to add that damn thing to other tours? Beats the whole purpose of choosing correct team composition. Guess it's time to trick people into recording a demo when the refund upgrade option is available. Or just about any console command like snd_restart. Doing that will remove the button :v:

Soo that's why I almost never had a refund button! Now I can either chose between the robots having a giant/invisible model or have no refund button should I feel like switching to a dumb fun class. Refund were only added to give teams that got stuck on a wave the chance to try some of other tactics/classes without having to kick the worse player. Too bad you are still gonna kick the worse player, since he is holding the team down. Instead you got an option with no limit, that removes all the tactical class composition stuff and lets good players switch to useless yet fun loadouts/classes near the end.

Alright, here's another fun fact I've been keeping since Two Cities came out. In Mannhattan, let robots capture a Gate at any point. Now, everytime someone starts recording a demo, a loud "slamming" sound can be heard by everyone near the initial spawn point. That's right, record command will trigger the gate closing sound at the initial spawn point, not just for you but also for everyone else. I lost count on how many time I pretend to be a "TF2 god" with pubs by doing that :v:

For all the engineers outta here, do not inspect your own upgrades. That makes you lose yoir canteens.

[QUOTE=Zannabluke;43358884]For all the engineers outta here, do not inspect your own upgrades. That makes you lose yoir canteens.[/QUOTE] new meta ask the engineer to inspect you and keep running around so he misses

Any EU buddies for Empire Escalation? btw to make a killstreak weapon with special effect I can use any weapon or only a normal one (unique)?

God, all I want is to finish this tour. I only have Metro Malice left and I've been trying to clear it for days. Every group is incompetent, or falls apart half way through, or the server pukes on us. This isn't even the hard one!

tbh, Metro is actually harder than Escalation now that they made the latter a joke.
