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

-snip-

To keep myself sane in not getting gold, I've begun to make up achievements for myself. This one I managed to complete an entire mission without dying once. [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/705112066310119589/E5874EA1F93905BF56198A0B6CAFCE64E55A3454/[/t]

[QUOTE=Armisael;43530148]What was the other engy using?[/QUOTE] stock and wrangler I was pretty much a frontline scout. upgraded nothing but resis and shotty very early on and kept getting very close to the bot spawn while the regular engi did his business the other heavy was actually a demo all along but thanks to refund we don't know that

I really want to do another tour for the sake of Australium weapons, but I'm out of tickets. One thing for sure, I'll never buy Surplus tickets ever again.

Maybe if Valve added some sort of incentive to them, like they gave extra fabricator parts or something.

Am I the only one who generally doesn't like getting canteens? I only get them for emergency oh-shit moments but otherwise I prefer to save my money for upgrades. I do get build canteens as engineer since those are a necessity but that's about it.

i don't even have the basic achievements for using them once even building canteen is optional

[QUOTE=Hell-met;43535619]i don't even have the basic achievements for using them once even building canteen is optional[/QUOTE] I used to use them, but the more I was playing engineer in MvM with the Jag, the less I used them, to a point where I don't use them at all. I will occasionally buy one or two in case shit goes downtown, but that happens rarely.

Canteens are only necessary when you are an Engie in a really bad spot where instant building is a necessity. At that point there is something wrong with what you are all doing or you just had bad luck. Medic is good for Canteen use just to balance out Uber and Crit usage as needed, but it isn't a necessity either. Although I did play with a Medic yesterday that used a Recall canteen a lot. Managed to save himself from being killed multiple times and didn't lose his Kritzkrieg ubercharge in the process. I guess it can be useful.

I find Recall and Crit Canteens useful as Pyro. Recalls handy in case a Super Scout slips by so I can hold him back with airblast and crits are useful when the medic isn't available to kritz me while on the tank. I think really it all comes down to personal preference with canteens, as do many things in MvM and even TF2 as a whole.

So I went into Empire Escalation on a team that was on the 5th wave. Scout apparently left, and being the shit Scout I am and since it was halfway through the wave with a sniper-friendly wave to go, I decide to go Sniper. After Wave 5 they bitch about all the money missed, which still meant an a average. tagged because long [t]http://i.imgur.com/M15gc4m.jpg[/t] Guys had 24 tours each too Tl;dr I go sniper, guys get super fucking butthurt

[QUOTE=Hell-met;43541463][thumb]http://www.sourceop.com/hell-met/TF2/mvm/spawnblock.jpg[/thumb] it could not get out[/QUOTE] You... you guys managed to hi-5 there... I tried that and never succeeded... :(

Seems like Gray Mann is really raising the bar. [t]http://i.imgur.com/5PGakdg.jpg[/t] I can only wonder what a giant engineer bot would build.

[QUOTE=OffTheRoad;43576279]Seems like Gray Mann is really raising the bar. [t]http://i.imgur.com/5PGakdg.jpg[/t] I can only wonder what a giant engineer bot would build.[/QUOTE] Giant level 4 sentries.

[QUOTE=Gunzers6;43576635]Giant level 4 sentries.[/QUOTE] Just imagine giant Gunslinger Engineers building giant mini-sentries.

[QUOTE=OffTheRoad;43576279]Seems like Gray Mann is really raising the bar. [t]http://i.imgur.com/5PGakdg.jpg[/t] I can only wonder what a giant engineer bot would build.[/QUOTE] Didn't you see the poster that came out along with the mecha engineer comic?

[QUOTE=SoftHearted;43576764]Didn't you see the poster that came out along with the mecha engineer comic?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]and as the incredible art above this paragraph illustrates, it will be over one hundred feet tall! [B](It will not.)[/B][/QUOTE] Valve obviously tried to hide this

i don't know if i've said this before but at the end of a mann-up game, there should be a section where all robots that you killed took a deathcam of you, and you get to select the ones you want to keep there would be a goldmine of hilarious stuff in there, considering there would be around 200-300 pictures

40th tour, finally got an australium frontier justice. 2 tours before I opted to give up. Pretty stoked about that.

[QUOTE=gigazelle;43584463]40th tour, finally got an australium frontier justice. 2 tours before I opted to give up. Pretty stoked about that.[/QUOTE] And I felt bad that I didn't get one after 13 tours, jesus. It's actually almost discouraging to continue knowing it could take up to 50 tours to get one :v: Time to get a whole bunch of tickets I guess edit: man h_pill you're really loving that rate spam aren't you

So due to Sniper being so viable, people make Sniper aimbots to win games for them. [img]http://i.imgur.com/fRFLZzD.png[/img]

there are often too many targets or too many large health pools for 1 sniper to solo everything even with perfect and the fastest shots. so if the other 5 people are useless it can't work I also wonder if those cheats prioritize giant meds or if they keep shooting the patient

[QUOTE=gigazelle;43584463]40th tour, finally got an australium frontier justice. 2 tours before I opted to give up. Pretty stoked about that.[/QUOTE] Christ that's like $160 USD in normal ticket price for something worth $45 Then again I bet the robot parts and killstreak fabricators make up for it

[QUOTE=Zadrave;43593154]Christ that's like $160 USD in normal ticket price for something worth $45 Then again I bet the robot parts and killstreak fabricators make up for it[/QUOTE] I got most of the tickets on sale for .49 - and I've probably made well over $300+ in tour loot, not including the australium. I should probably do the math for the exact number sometime, but all I know is that I will probably never have to deposit real-world money into my steam wallet ever again.

I'm finding MvM fun again by replacing the Robots with Human models, and the playermodels as Robots (Enhanced Bots mod) :v:

OK, I did 5 tours of Two Cities. Not even a single Pro Fab.

[QUOTE=Steam Spycrab;43607163]OK, I did 5 tours of Two Cities. Not even a single Pro Fab.[/QUOTE] I didn't get one until my 8th, and it was still only a pocket pistol. Even now, it's my only pro fab I found 16 tours in. You'll find one eventually, then be disappointed as it'll be a shitty Sniper melee or a horribly underpowered sidearm no one uses.
