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

[QUOTE=Waffle Lord;49011129]Is it just me or are the contracts not working AT ALL? Collecting souls, pumpkins, nothing fills up the points.[/QUOTE] Apparently the problem is you're playing on a Virginia server. Worked for me when I changed to a Washington one, not sure if other locations have the issue.

so I pretty much lost all my strange weapons and items as well as my friend's expensive unusual hat to a scammer... I really don't know how to explain the way it happened but I was basically used as a middleman to check to see if my friend's unusual was not duped.. and after he gave me his unusual I was invited to a group chat with an impostor of my friend and it was at that point that the impostor traded me to get his hat back, or so i thought.. long story short, this guy took all of my strange items and my friends hat and it even took us a while to figure out what happened. I all I know is this fucking sucks.. pretty much ruined the Halloween update for me. I don't even feel like playing anymore because of this. well.. I hope everyone else is enjoying this update.

This mini-crit priority bug (I [i]hope[/i] it's a bug) is hilarious and annoying at the same time and it seems like people are aware of it and making use of it. I've seen soldiers whip out their escape plan while crossing a sightline where there's a sniper, and I am just waiting to see a jarate basically fuck up a kritzkrieg pop. And it just leaves me wondering what they actually popped upen the crit/minicrit code to do. Was it to make the flare gun minicrit, or did they just mess it up while doing something else and none of the weird crit/minicrit stuff that goes on now was intended? And for people who can't get the Merasmissions working, you'll probably have to get a copy of hudanimations_tf.txt and copy/paste everything that has the word "quest" in it into your own version of the file. [editline]oh[/editline] Ah, the crit thing is already fixed. Still wonder what caused it :v:

Bumper kart minigame still crashes me 100% of the time. I got a Merasmission that wants me to play bumper karts for most of the points. Yeah, no. Looks like it's time to spam retry in the console so I can get back to killing people without losing my spot on the server! :s:

Whenever I get shot to death while fighting a boss especially HHH whobi thought he would be the easiest to defeat with teamwork.

[QUOTE=Sweater;49013828]Whenever I get shot to death while fighting a boss especially HHH whobi thought he would be the easiest to defeat with teamwork.[/QUOTE] just imagine how it'd be if the other team was actively killing your team while they were farming HHH for themselves [editline]30th October 2015[/editline] it aint fun to see the chat about it at least

pl_millstone's cart as red team so you're telling me I can't actively block the cart from pushing without risking being stunned and then killed by the 5+ people on the cart also, while we're on the topic of pl_millstone, the absolute clusterfuck of halloween bosses. I saw 2 monoculoses, a blu monocolous and the HHH within 5 seconds of each other

*Checks the Market for the new items* "Sweet! Everything's under 5 bucks! I wonder how much the FireFly head is!" *Over 30$* :disgust:

there are no functional servers on this planet, or even in the entire universe according to my game anyway [editline]30th October 2015[/editline] cool, got a contract on doomsday_event and the map crashes my game

pl_millstone is probably the worst of the four new maps. Clusterfuck of bosses, retarded "LOL YOU CAN'T BLOCK THE CART SCRUB" mechanic and god awful cluttered background noises. That said, it's still a solid map in other means but it nicely shows what happens when something thinks that throwing everything on top of each other is the right way to go.

The best would be Gorge Event for me. The sudden skeleton ambush actually works well here, and the reskin itself looks nice and is very, very playable. The only thing that would bother me is the filter or color correction or whatever that is also on Ghost Fort.

On the subject of Carnival of Carnage - I'm not crashing, but having to play it again for a mission reminded me how lackluster last year's event map is/was. As flawed as Doomsday is for serious play, I actually found it a reasonably fun DM arena, and I certainly find playing on the main map a lot more entertaining than playing the same ol' 3 repetitive kart minigames with horrible controls over and over and over again. Unfortunately, on every damn server I've played (4), a large part of the players either has no idea what's going on or simply deliberately doesn't defend the lift and lets one team win. Because some people are either really into the shitty karting, or they need achievements from it. [B]Either way, this results in your average game on the Carnival map being 1-2 minutes of playing on the main map, one team winning really fast (I swear that lift rises quicker than on normal Doomsday), and then being subjected to playing one of the incredibly basic and repetitive minigames for 5+ minutes.[/B] Rinse and repeat, it's literally two minutes of shooting and having some fun for me, then 5 minutes of karting, and the minigames got real old real fast even last year, in a few days max. [B]Plus, it seems griefing on the map is back with a vengeance - there are people exploiting in a way that they end up as a normal Heavy with a minigun or an Engie that builds a sentry in the middle of a minigame playing field. Then they just proceed to slaughter the other team and let their own team win easily. [/B] I've been on the receving end of a griefer all 4 times and lost all 4 karting minigames, which meant no 15 contract points from winning for me. I swear, the Carnival map was rushed as hell and those transitions from the main map into bumper cars seem to have an endless amount of griefing/exploiting potential that just can't be patched for good. Oh, and while we're at it - I might get rated dumb by some, but 90% (or more) of the griefing disciples of SIN I've run into are immature little 13-year-old shits and pricks that exist solely to imitate what they've seen on YT and annoy entire servers. I swear that every time I see someone doing it, it's some pawel.wrabkowski or costas.fotsis99 that either griefs or tries to unsuccessfully imitate a glitch and then complains and begs others to leave him alone while he's trying to do it. Or they'll conga or be 'friendly' if they don't get to have their way. I swear those YT channels foster an incredibly immature, selfish fandom and an annoying culture that glorifies being a useless, selfish teammate and a proper prick that exists solely to grief, exploit and annoy others, or be a uselless dead weight of a player in some other way.

I still haven't got a single contract. :frown: edit: nvm I finally got one

I love it how every time I get a contract, it seems to be for a map that only Singaporean servers run. Which means, playing with 200+ ping and lag spikes.

Why doesn't the Flak Jack look more distinguishable for Blu team. This might just be my colourblindness, but if I see a Blu Scout wearing it, it's hard to tell if he's on my team or not at a first glance

Why did Valve decide to make contract drops untradable? What am I supposed to do with the items I don't like? I guess they're gonna lay in my inventory for years just like the halloween drops from 2013 and 2014...

And then they in turn at bitch at me for killing them because they wanted to "kill the noobies".

[QUOTE=Stric_Matic;49014414]sd_doomsday_event is bad and the bumpercar part is full of exploiters[/QUOTE] the exploit people are using has to deal with the autoteam command not killing you during the bumpercar segments because for whatever reason using autoteam to switch teams during those parts just puts you on the other team without condition 82 instead of killing you. i know this because i've done it and i've seen snowshoe do it. really the way that valve could fix it is (and the only real way to pervent any version of it reincarnate from working) to kill you in the bumpercar parts instead of switching you to the other team without condition 82.

-nevermind, literally got one upon opening the game a second time-

Heavies. Before you go "no no ur positioning is shit", its a problem with the absolutely fucking shit hitreg tf2 has. I can peek out, fire a rocket at the heavy, duck under cover then get mowed down because of the bullets turning corners. Also, a kritz heavy, or a random crit heavy, can kill you easily in two shots from halfway across the map, which is also fucking bullshit.

When I'm in the TF2 menu and I get an alert and I think I just got a drop, but it turns out to be a proposal.
