Mannpower is literally shit. All the power ups need a huge nerf, and then made temporary.

[QUOTE=Oizen;47023684]Team with power ups destroying team without power ups. Mannpower is literally shit. All the power ups need a huge nerf, and then made temporary.[/QUOTE] There's definitely some edge cases with class and powerup combinations but honestly any team that gets spawncamped in mannpower would be spawncamped in a regular mode. The fact that powerups drop on death means that if the team makes a coordinated push out of spawn (lol) then they could be the ones wielding all the powerups.

The only objective is next to spawn, one team can easily amass power-ups, and if the enemy tries to push at you with uber you can just retreat for a couple seconds very quickly with grappling hooks, then push back and wipe the enemy again.

its still very fun though

[QUOTE=R.M.T.B.;47019897]I hate seeing these arguments about the Ambassador. It is a TOOL, it gives spies the ability to assassinate targets from a distance when a backstabbing may not be an option.[/QUOTE] But that's not what the spy is supposed to be about. It completely changes the spy meta.

Community is absolutely toxic

[QUOTE=Jetpack Bear;47024766]Community is absolutely toxic[/QUOTE] tf2's community is a whole lot better than a *ton* of other games out there tbh I'm actually really happy with it because most people know that the shitters are few and far between and in good servers when they come up they get shot down quick

[QUOTE=Jetpack Bear;47024766]Community is absolutely toxic[/QUOTE] Depends on the server really. Valve servers and the huge groups like skial tend to gather a lot of horrible people, because that's where all the less dedicated folks who just join a random server, and all the folks who join a server they know will be full of newbies they can "umad? :^)" all day, pile up. Smaller servers and groups, even ones that still have multiple servers like FUG, tend to be pretty friendly. Only times I've ever encountered horrible people on even the FUG 2fort server is when it's empty and some dumb clan has decided to move in. Hell, I've even met good players on 24/7 dustbowls, so long as they aren't owned by big groups. Worst I've gotten was a Heavy complaining that I wasn't healing her as she suicidally charged into sentries and snipers, and even then she got shot down by people on both teams pretty quick. The secret is that quickplay sucks, and you should really just use the browser.

For an f2p game, TF2 has a very good community. Games like Dayz or CS:GO have it worse even though they are paid.

Good snipers and spies are probably the most annoying to play against

[QUOTE=Fancy Godgineer;47020773]Fortunately the Dead Ringer is now paired with the most fucked up ragdoll bug so determining whether that Spy is dead or not is now easy as pie.[/QUOTE] It's kinda sad how even when the core gimmick doesn't work, the watch is still being widely used and nobody complains. Fake corpses are useless. DR is purely a cloak with 0 cloaking time and damage resistance. It's never being used for deception, it's just a getouttajail free card.

Don't you just hate it when your in a middle of a firefight and you have a vaccinator charge ready. But then your patient just decides to rocket jump away and leave you to die. Had this happen to me 4 times just today.

I came back from vacation and I needed some fun so I started Tf2. Joined a game, be Pyro and help the team. I then noticed that the team needed a Medic so I changed my class. OH GOD STOP ASKING ME TO STAY WITH YOU I NEED TO HELP THAT ONE SOLDIER WHO IS LOW ON HEALTH AN-OW SHIT NOW A PYRO IS LOW ON HEALTH AND I NE- OH SHIT THEY ARE ATTACKING ME. HELP! HELP! OH YES YOU,HEAVY BE MY SHIE- WAIT WHERE ARE YOU GOING YOU PIECE OF SH- NO DEMOMAN I CANT HEAL YOU ALL THE FUCKING ROUND I NEED TO HELP THE OTH- OH FUCK THEY KILLED THE PYRO I WAS GOING TO HEAL. (Then I was killed by Mr. SniperxXxNoScOpEr). Some kids don't know how medicine works.

This recent steam purchase lockdown is a pain in my ass. i add $5 off of an old giftcard to my steam account, leave the $5 on my account for a few days, buy a single ToD from the store, and i'm locked out of the market for a damn week. Because AN UNVERIFIED CARD HAS HAD AN INCREASE IN USE A $1 purchase from my $5 wallet i filled up at the beginning of the week, yeah i'm going batshit crazy spending this thing.

To say it rubbed my tits up the wrong way is an understatement.

People shitting on the Vita-Saw gets really old. While losing 10hp on an already fragile class is pretty bad, that 20% saved on death can really turn the tides. I feel like it has a home in supporting losing teams, and helping boost Meds who just can't seem to stay alive long during a particular round. If you're getting stomped anyway, why not keep some of your uber? Sure, it's not the most viable all the time. But it's FAR from useless.

The downside is negligible at best (you still die to an uncharged headshot, and otherwise no attack does enough to kill at 150-141 and not kill otherwise) and it makes dying not as worrying for Medic because you can still retain a fifth of your ubercharge, so why even worry about it, especially with the short respawn time? Not to mention it's literally an upgrade until you pass the 20% uber mark, and with the Vaccinator pretty much guarantees you get a free Vacc-uber on spawn. Basically it's a shitty weapon for the exact opposite reason you think it is.

[QUOTE=Rajikaru;47031354]-tl;dr,op-[/QUOTE] So he's saying people are complaining it's underpowered, but you say it's overpowered?

[QUOTE=Blackavar;47031495]So he's saying people are complaining it's underpowered, but you say it's overpowered?[/QUOTE] Medic v Medic is all about ubercharge and who gets it first. Whoever gets ubercharge first can make the first move to ensure the other medic or a large chunk of his team is wiped out. This is why the Kritzkrieg has a faster charge rate, it's to promote aggressively targeting the enemy medic; if you are too slow, the ubercharge will nullify the kritzkrieg's effect. This is why the ubersaw is so lauded. It creates situations in which a clutch hit with the saw can change the tide of a game. With the Vita-saw, there is no skill. There is no risk. The one with the Vita saw gets a free chunk of ubercharge saved when he's killed. He will always have the uber advantage in trade situations. 20% is 8 seconds where the enemy Medic has 0 chance to deploy an uber of his own should you come barreling in at him. The only way to counter the Vita-saw is to run the Vita-saw yourself. It's incredibly boring on a class that already gets very little of the action as it stands. In pubs where no one fucking cares, yeah the vita-saw is "acceptable." But when you start getting players that are actually organizing themselves to see which team is more capable of winning, the thing throws not only the medic's other melee options, but neuters the medigun too since it's tied directly to ubercharge.

[QUOTE=Blackavar;47031495]So he's saying people are complaining it's underpowered, but you say it's overpowered?[/QUOTE] Precisely. It's banned in every competitive league because it's so unbalanced in such a way that most people wouldn't consider; as mentioned by Psychopath above me, it changes the tide of gameplay with little to no skill. Killing a Medic, which is probably the most game-changing pick of all, bar maybe a sentry on offense, suddenly becomes less useful at best, and pointless at worst (Oh yeah, you killed blu's medic at 25%, too bad he has a 4 second respawn timer and still has 20% ubercharge!). It's stupid. It's undeniably better, in a stupid way.

Honestly, I've always viewed the ubersaw as a direct upgrade to the Vita Saw. I mean, Battle medic isnt that viable, but Medic is actually one of the better melee classes. 25% uber without dying > retaining 20% uber obtained normally after dying

Think about it with the Darwins danger shield. In a regular casual gameplay, if you're a Sniper that's a faster shot than most other Snipers, the Danger Shield is near useless and the Jarate is a better option. If you're in highlander and your primary threat is a Sniper that is as good if not better than you, now that quickscope resistance is a life saver, because a Danger shield sniper can take an uncharged headshot, while the Jarate using Sniper can't, so it becomes less a quickdraw and more a who has what equipped. the VS is the same way. The Medic that has the charge that's 7 seconds quicker now can take down the Medic who doesn't and make a key push.

Getting autobalanced to the other team as an engineer and getting all your buildings destroyed when they're all lvl 3 and you had 20 kills on your sentry.

[QUOTE=Mayou;47034304]Getting autobalanced to the other team as an engineer and getting all your buildings destroyed when they're all lvl 3 and you had 20 kills on your sentry.[/QUOTE] Bonus points if you helped build other buildings in the area and were the one who started the 'defence' and now you've got to destroy it all.

How I crash to desktop without any error message whatsoever when I join a Valve server. I don't even get the chance to walk out of the respawn zone and bam, crash. I don't even have my custom content enabled, I'm playing in windowed mode which always worked fine, so I don't even know what the problem is. [editline]29th January 2015[/editline] Can't even micspam on any server anymore without being insta-kicked by crybabies, even if the material I'm micspamming isn't total obnoxious loud crap

[QUOTE=Recurracy;47034425] Can't even micspam on any server anymore without being insta-kicked by crybabies, even if the material I'm micspamming isn't total obnoxious loud crap[/QUOTE] That's cute.

[QUOTE=Recurracy;47034425]Can't even micspam on any server anymore without being insta-kicked by crybabies, even if the material I'm micspamming isn't total obnoxious loud crap[/QUOTE] if you aren't using the mic to coordinate with your teammates or talk to other players in general then you deserve every kick you've gotten

I actually like miscpamming, as long as it doesn't not break my eardrums. If one has problem with it, there's always a mute option.

[QUOTE=Recurracy;47034425] Can't even micspam on any server anymore without being insta-kicked by crybabies, even if the material I'm micspamming isn't total obnoxious loud crap[/QUOTE] Why not, like, ask the server if they're okay with you playing music over the mic before you do that?
