Stuff that Annoys you in TF2: MS Paint Crocket Edition - Games

Might be network-related. I've escaped a lot of flamethrowers in weird network situations. I main Scout.

Speaking of flame throwers... I sure do love not hitting anything due to funky particles.

[QUOTE=Demo-the-man;48874499]I swear to christ every time i am fighting an enemy it's them who always gets the upper hand in the last second when it was going to be me who was going to win. For example, get a crit when they have 10 hp or something. [/QUOTE] Or a Medic suddenly pops ups and ubers their ass Or a Random scout crits you from behind Or a random backburner pyro crits you from behind Or a random spy decides to backstab you Or a random sniper decides to throw his piss at you

This is more of an annoyance with r/tf2 than TF2 itself, but... I can't believe there are hundreds of individual human beings that proceed to spam dozens upon dozens of super-dank ˝WE ARE IN THE BEAM˝ threads over and over and over again. Yes, it was mildly funny to hear it at first, but talk about running a joke into the ground...

[IMG]http://puu.sh/kG8Iu/38f51de114.png[/IMG] It's been 5 days. 5 fucking days already, and yet these crates are still going for more than a dollar. I want to get some so I can unbox them (and inadvertently get shafted again, but oh well) bt there's no fucking way in hell that I'm paying almost $2.00 for a single crate and then another $2.50 just to open it. [I][B]Fuck. That.[/B][/I] Not to mention this is still a thing: [IMG]http://puu.sh/kG8G7/7d7107db67.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://puu.sh/kG8Hv/ee3fdabbc4.png[/IMG] Just, ugh... Why didn't they just let us buy these things from the store for christ sake!? Would that have really been such a huge problem? This artificial rarity is fucking bullshit and I hate it, [I]hate it, [B]hate it, HATE IT[/B][/I]

[QUOTE=Inferno564;48878312]Don't forget you can try to trade up for these items So to try to get the starduster, trade in some Physician's Protectors :)[/QUOTE] This [i]would[/i] be a good idea, but the trade-ups can give you any item from "the same collection" so if I wanted any halfway decent chance at getting a Starduster I'd need at least one Commando grade item from the Quarantined set in the trade ups. That, for reference is the Rocket Operator: [IMG]http://puu.sh/kGb4P/da210aff9f.png[/IMG] The Captain Space Mann: [IMG]http://puu.sh/kGb7I/124dd1dc4e.png[/IMG] And, of course... The Shooting Star: [IMG]http://puu.sh/kGb9P/ea9ad773d3.png[/IMG] So, yeah. That's still an investment. Not to mention I could still get something from the Gun Mettle cosmetics unless I use all Quarantined items. So at the cheapest, unless I want an Assassin Grade Gun-Mettle cosmetic (or skinned item, for that matter) I'd need to buy 10 Rocket Operators, which would put me back somewhere in the bounds of $23.30. And I'd [I]still[/I] not guaranteed get a Starduster. If I was planning on spending that kind of cash for a TF2 item, I'd just buy a Starduster. Don't get me wrong: I appreciate the idea you're putting forward. It just... Doesn't really work too well right now. Not to mention if I trade-up for the Corona Australis (Somehow) then I'd risk getting... Well... [IMG]http://puu.sh/kGbls/fc26172cae.png[/IMG]

I know I'm writing on a board that houses the greatest community contributors ever, but why cosmetics in Team Fortress 2 are priced that high is beyond me, especially considering that the game is in first person, so most of the time I don't even get to see the fruits of my coin purse

After all, they don't see a single cent of that money. The only people befitting from this are lucky people. And Valve.

let me tell you what is bullshit about flamethrowers the fact that i can strafe past my friend who isn't moving, crosshair dead center on him, left click held and do zero fucking damage explosive projectiles are the only things that inflict damage reliably and consistently in this game

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;48879704]Well yeah, that's been a thing for years.[/QUOTE] That doesn't explain [i]why[/i] it's a thing, though. Unless the explanation is "Haha, fuck you! - Sincerely, Valve."

[QUOTE=Ona;48880359]That doesn't explain [i]why[/i] it's a thing, though. Unless the explanation is "Haha, fuck you! - Sincerely, Valve."[/QUOTE] Forced artificial rarity stimulates the economy and makes them more money.

I wish all hats were craftable and crates were only needed to get Unusual / Strange versions. I haven't had the urge to unbox anything in a long time

playing with laggy people in mge its doable, but it's extremely annoying to fight people who have 150+ ping, watching them warp around everywhere throwing off my aim, while on their end, lag compensation is sucking their dick and giving them hits that shouldn't be landing on me. I can still beat them, but there are times where it's just so bad that I end up losing because I have trouble aiming at them I understand that there can be a lack of populated MGE servers in your region, but jesus i hope you know that you're annoying to play against sometimes

I finally got a drop, now that the prices have really fallen. Oh well, I guess I paid back what I put into it, so I can't complain too much. Still feel like Valve royally screwed over the Invasion team, though.

I hate afterburn and really shitty W+M1 Pyro players. I also hate Dead Ringer Spy players. And this retarded Beggar's Bazooka thing where the singular rocket firing is faster than the normal rocket launcher. But what really takes the piss are these dumb "friendly" players. This shit about "Hoovie" or whatever can fuck off and die. If you want to be useless and taunt or just walk around, go to a trade or idle server because that's where that shit belongs. Also love being vote kicked by kids who get butthurt when I tell them they fuck up. Some Pyro just chased a scout around our base while carrying the enemy intel. The enemy capped our intel in that time and we lost purely because he did that. The Scout was no threat to him. When I asked what the fuck he was doing: "I was going to spam L" Yes. Spam L when we're in a race to catch the intel we should win without much effort. Sure.

The beggars fires faster than the stock with single rockets because it's a hidden bonus It reloads slower too.

There's a quote by ludologist Jesper Juul: "In a way, I would like to excise from the English language the phrase 'just a game,' because it pretends something that is not true, that failure is neutral as long as it happens in a game."

i just got votekicked with no reason given by a player near last place who never said anything the whole game. it passed.

"Ohkay, it's been almost a full week now, surely those damn Quarentined crates have dropped down to a reasonable price, right? I mean, they were getting close to $1.50 last night, maybe I'll be able to start buying them!" [IMG]http://puu.sh/kHf8k/485fc15702.png[/IMG] "Oh."

For a quantity of 131, that's pretty cheap.

[QUOTE=Dragadur;48884015]For a quantity of 131, that's pretty cheap.[/QUOTE] For a[B][I] crate,[/I][/B] which you have to [I][B]pay[/B][/I] to open, that's ridiculously and unreasonably expensive. They're practically asking for the price of the key you need to open the damn thing at this point.
