What I would like: Two daily contracts for all players. One requires you to play a specific class or use a specific weapon (with loaners given out) while the latter is either a generic map type or a specific map, like Upward. Bonus objectives aren't necessary nor are they counted as stars, but you still get extra CP. You could do 100 points or you could keep going further to 200. Completing 100 points rewards you with the weapon that you used/a weapon that class uses (if it's a generic contract), while the map contract reward is just a random drop. Any points above 100 give you tokens that you could save up and use to either buy a keyless crate that is likely to have another unique item, or it might have an actual nice reward, like a tool, taunt, or hat. More tickets? Maybe a killstreak kit. Save up something like 5000 tickets? Have a free hat.
Why this wouldn't work: Bot farming in casual. Thankfully they farm without joining public servers, but this system would be way more annoying. Also, people would bitch about it.
[QUOTE=rolfum;53017034]I think it'd be cool if mvm got some sort of overhaul of the upgrade system, like if they made the disposable sentry upgrade cheaper and you could have like five of them, or if they actually added the option to buy damage upgrades for shotguns and non-demoknight melee weapons[/QUOTE]
Even if it were cheap, I still see the mini sentry as nothing more then something you buy when you have nothing left to buy.
I'd honestly rather have a second dispenser instead lol...
even with how grindy it is, i'm all ok with defense contracts, I'm fine with killing people doing the objective
If only I didn't need to ask them nicely to do it
Contracts should be a challenge for you, to do them with your skill, the challenge shouldn't be to be lucky to find people with enough brain cells to do the objective, or to find people nice enough to help you complete your contract as there is no way for you to do it legit, like the hightower contract
Defense contracts are ok on koth maps if the game is balanced
But for pl/ad, it's just boring, i had to jump from server to server to have a balanced match, wait till i'm on defense, sticky the crap out of the objective then go get a drink, occasionally pressing M2

Wow, someone here actually said something nice to me. There's someone here with empathy! It's a 2017 miracle!
the axtinguisher did nothing wrong. it was the degreaser's switch speed and nearly absurd downside what made it absurdly easy to pull off and shit on everything that was not a pyro. if you had to deal with a pyro just switch to reserve shooter and bam. nothing counters you.
"ah but you need to get into close range to do that". since you can airblast to your heart's content you can instantly counter two long range classes that can't area denial you to get outside your area. you couldn't do this with the backburner, nor with the phlog. but the degreaser is basically the better stock at the cost of a useless afterburn penalty that still leaves you with a 6 second window to instantly crit meelee any class for 195+ damage and 8-9 chances to hold your enemy into a wall (with the bonus of being able to refill half of that wasted ammo back to 100% after you kill your enemy - and you will).
it was like playing jarate sniper, but with 8 jarates on your belt ready to be thrown at any time, in quick sucession, and with the ability to refill four of them by pickup up the ammo left by your dead enemy. or the old zatoichi having random crits, or the current atomizer- weapons that ultimately had poorly though downsides that are (and can easily be) neglected as they do not affect nor force any kind of risk when they come into play.
all valve had to do was to not give the reserve shooter to pyro. wich i asume was done with good intents but failed to acknowledge that unlike soldiers pyros could lift and lock enemies in place with so much ease that it made its original purpose completely irrelevant (wich was finishing enemies juggled into the air by soldiers with a well placed shotgun blast) - even more by the time the degreaser. it was probably way too late when they figured it out, because the uproar from pyro mains would burn them alive just every single uproar has done so far. as for the axtinguiser, all they had to do was remove the weapon's afterburn capabilities or reduce them to a bare minimum in temrs of duration, and reducle the clip size to half it size with an added penalty to airblast much like the one the DF has now.
you want to combo into other shit? you still can! but now you can truly get fucked up if you miss instead of endless winning every single 1v1 match you ever face.

Tacitly berating? No, you're reading into subtext that doesn't exist. I'm pleasantly surprised.

It has been like that for quite some time now.
I was listening to Crash's interview with Freyja yesterday and heard a small interesting tidbit. Freyja said that after playing all the Mercs vs Aliens maps Valve said they were interested in adding [URL="https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=454263905"]Inari[/URL] to the Invasion update but some issues with her personal life prevented her from finishing it.

After finishing MvM (and having to put up with being around an asshole-ish high tour player) I managed to get a Specialized Killstreak Scattergun Kit.

More seriously, would you take 10 keys for it?
[QUOTE=Mockingbird;53015879]I feel like it [I]has[/I] to be intentional, most likely to keep within performance limits. If it was a simple matter to change it so that particles dealt damage individually, they would have done it by now (probably would have done it in the first place). Also if damage being equal for 1-1000 particles was a bug, the damage would probably be really low instead of really high.
My question is still: is it even possible to fix current flames without yet another total rework? I don't think it is.
Honestly, I feel like old flames were overall better than what we've got now, despite all their unintuitive strangeness.
[/QUOTE]
If it is intentional and the only way they could make the flamethrower not require leading the target than I think the flames probably need a damage nerf so you don't get melted in one second when encountering a pyro.
I ain't gonna be here tonight but.
Happy New Year guys, have fun tonight.
Just hit tier 4 on casual, honestly didn't think I'd get to tier 4 before 2018.
The only thing I have to say is: These pyros flailing their mouse get me on tilt tbh
[QUOTE=ASIC;53017918]More seriously, would you take 10 keys for it?[/QUOTE]
You are like a little baby, watch this: 20 keys.
v 4000 hours I'm guessing, but you also need to do well at each match.
Someone do the math; On average, how long does it take to reach Tier 8 in TF2?

Decades.
I hope I'm not the only one with this but for whatever reason the first offense classes contract doesn't work for me.
Edit:nevermind for some reason it didn't work for degroot keep and I had to join a different map

Put it on a Pyro weapon and you'd have the makings for a sick Pyro Galaxy-themed loadout. Though, definitely decide if you want to sell it first.
A'ight. The trade ban expired and the winner is: Chicken McFly!

Looks like GNU/Linux users which name themselves "catbot" get VAC banned. So if you guys don't want to risk your account, don't name yourselves as "catbots".
Seems Valve's pretty pissed, eh?

Of all methods for Valve to combat cheating, that's not only the laziest one, but also the stupidest.
