[QUOTE=Trekintosh;48776948]How could anyone voluntarily play medic on a valve server? It's got to be the single most frustrating thing I've ever experienced in TF2.[/QUOTE]
Seriously though, medicing in pubs can be really satisfying when you find a losing team and you are able to turn it around.
Uhh, I started writing a post about pub medic strats, but it's starting to get long and I'm thinking I should make it into a Steam guide. Would anyone be interested in reading such a guide?
[QUOTE=Ona;48779149]To be honest, I find almost all the paints to be rather unpleasantly clashing. All barring the brown shades and the team-colored shades, as well as After-Eight (in certain circumstances)
EDIT: Quick addendum: There is a context for everything, even Lime:

Here's a few more examples where Lime paint comes off nice looking, just to further strengthen your point.

[QUOTE=ikes;48777934]okay, what's actually wrong with it besides "oh hurr durr it breaks the aesthetic!!"
because news flash: it doesnt. or at the very least, it's not a big contributor to that.[/QUOTE]
Except yes it does. Very much. TF2's color palette is very subdued, very desaturated.

Do you notice which ones stand out the most? That's right, eye-searing pink and lime, incredibly saturated and overly bright.

Here's the Mona Lisa, all with various elements oversaturated, along with the original, for comparison.
Do you notice how, in the first picture, Lisa looks like she's made out of fire? In the second, your eye is immediately drawn to the glowing red dirt path? In the third, Lisa looks like she dropped some sick acid, and also how the painting has less focus on the actual subject of the painting?
Inconsistency in saturation is really, [I]really[/I] easy to spot and it's off-putting.
Pink and lime are the only colors that overdo it on the saturation, but people hate on australium gold, deep commitment to purple, abundance of tinge, and lack of hue like they're the same as ping and lime.
Just because they're not washed out and muted.
This suddenly went from "Stuff that Annoys you in TF2" to "Pink & Lime Hate thread."
I expect to get 'Dumb' or 'Disagree' stamps.
I don't know if the guy who stamped 'Dumb' did it for the sake of my message or actually disagrees with me. xD.

pure black and pure white are just as contrasting to be honest. again, like lime and pink, they can look good on some items, but those are generally items that wash out the color of paints slightly

and i don't think anyone in this thread hates on gold/purple if they're used well
I can see who comes from gamebanana and such.

I have no clue how I never knew you could paint the Apparition's Aspect.

If you mean ratings you need at least 30 posts first
Gold, purple, black, white, green, orange, and probably other paints tend to look bad when the entire loadout is just that color. Pink and Lime can look bad just on one item, unless it's one of the few exceptions listed above. I have a Lime set of Special Eyes and they look amazing, but if the rest of my loadout was lime it would look terrible.

Deep Commitment is alright, I use it a lot. I get the feeling you're referring to me in the Loadout thread, since I've never seen anyone complain about Deep Commitment ever; my complaint is just that you painted [I]everything[/I] purple. I don't mind that, just don't think it looks good.
Also Australium Gold is [I]ok[/I], but I'd appreciate if they'd used a less saturated color, and Abundance of Tinge/Lack of Hue are acceptable since they're the only black and white but I hate that they didn't sample the black and white used ingame so that they didn't stand out so much, it makes them look awful.
Lime and pink, however, are so bad that a similar shade of green is what I have my crosshair color set to, because it stands out brightly against everything in the game. I had it as hot pink before too, stopped using that because it looked ugly. They should really have used a less oversaturated shade of pink and lime, they look terrible as is. Unfortunately the way they made paint works means it's impossible to update them to use different colors.

What can I say, I have a [B]deep commitment to purple[/B].
Tried to hit a really laggy Sniper with the Boston Basher.
Mistakes were made.
[QUOTE=Bynine;48782566]it wasn't paintable for a long time, they only added it recently[/QUOTE]
Odd, the wiki didn't list that change, as far as I saw. Kinda weird to add paintability on it so long after it came out. Makes me wonder if they'll rig other cosmetics to be paintable.

iirc it was part of a submission by the original creator that also fixed a bunch of other major issues.

it was nice when it wasn't spammed alot now it's just annoying
This isn't a huge deal or anything, but why aren't the Unarmed Combat and Wanga Prick available in Haunted quality yet? It's a shame too, since I prefer having my weapons in non-unique qualities.
I fucking hate my dodging. 90% of the time I just end up helping the enemy because I know I just move into their goddamn crosshair while infact they would have missed if I had keep going in one direction
shit's tense
