TF2 General Chat and Speculation Station V6 - Year of the Guard Dog SURVEY IN OP - Games

I doubt valve would ever add payed sprays to tf2 since they would need to purposefully cut normal user sprays from the game to do it

they already did

which is really sad tbh having to pay for a limited version of what used to be a free and virtually endlessly-customizable feature is pretty fuckin whack

I can never seem to choose a good crosshair color that sticks out from everything else. We need the option for inverted color crosshairs like Minecraft has

Firstly paid sprays in CSGO may have been a failure as I don't think any were added after the original batch, and secondly you can still use sprays in TF2 community servers. If they kill off all free sprays (I think CSGO killed off all sprays years before the paid ones) and make them paid the anger would be unreal.

Yeah, this sucks even worse when your of the group that actually enjoys creating sprays from scratch like I do... I've stuck to bright green for a long time now, I find that it stands out against most colors well enough that I can see it almost everywhere in the game. Other colors sometimes blend with walls and stuff, making it difficult to see where I'm aimming in situations where a lot is happening at once at fast pace. https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2419998620440072091/49A39342C290DBDB7CFAF061826687FD0ED05218/

THe mannrobics music is great. What taunt is that? Fun fact: There are other things in dota 2 that reuse sounds from TF2. Legion Commander's Press the attack ability uses the Concheror activation sound.

It is unfortanate, but I totally get why Valve doesn't want people to be able to use any sprays on their servers. I saw some pretty disgusting ones over the years.

It's one of the situations were all it takes is one person to ruin it for everyone in the long run.

There is a client side option to disable sprays. What would be really good is a way to use the game's file browser to go to the spray folder and pick which sprays to not load.

Considering how reports are more effective now I don't see why they don't just give people "spray bans" or whatever

a regular red dot messsed up by color correction and youtube compression

Instead of paid sprays I'd rather have the option to get new Loading screens.

While it would be nice, it'd probably come with it's own set of problems. It would require more work on the TF2 team as well, meaning they'd have to take time away from updating and fixing actual issues from the game to code it to work it in here as well. I also don't think banning people for sprays is a good work as well, maybe banning their ability to use custom sprays perhaps? Although this would be bad if they do intent to try and sell sprays if people could just find ones they like and recreate them to be used as a custom spray. For instance, I actually recreated a wall decal from scratch and turned it into a spray recently: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/911294436551803786/2BA32D1F3E329254EB64BD4E6B3E8A71F0A49FA0/

I've been using this as a spray for a while https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/71dmba/to_crit_or_not_to_crit/

One thing I've actually been surprised they haven't done, more so with them using a lot of fan created content into the game already, is not allow custom huds onto the Workshop personally. Then pick from popular select few that work under all game modes that look good and add them to the game. It'd be a way to update the game visual and make it more appealing, which I felt was one of the things they were trying to do already.

A problem with this is that no 3rd party content currently in the game (cosmetics, weapon models, maps) requires regular maintenance, but custom UIs would.

being totally honest here, the only spray ever worth being used was the ducking sniper.

but what about the wealth of porn sprays to distract the enemy for prolonged periods, or furry sprays to break their morale?

I miss distracting people with porn sprays...a truly vintage spy strategy

they need to re-enable sprays so spy becomes comp viable again

There are a whole list of weapons like that, who's entire existence is fuel to be smelted down into hats or better guns. Thanks valve.

I regularly play on Skial servers, which is to say I regularly delete the contents of Steam/steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/materials/temp to rid myself of the furry (and SCAT, dear gaben) porn.

Does valve make good amount of money from sprays to have them added on DotA 2? I really don't think anyone would buy one time use pack of sprays like they buy keys for cases

Reminder that most valve teams in projects need the approval of the majority of the team to do something. That means that more than half of the 32 devs in the csgo team thought that paid sprays was a good idea.

Alas, poor Heavy. We knew him well.

I wish all of the vgui materials would get unblocked from sv_pure 1. Those mods and some 70fov fixes were pretty much all the mods I used before sv_pure 1

I would not mind this.

You have that option already. I'd imagine there are dozens of mods that change current loading screens to classic ones and/or remove the stats from them.

Ah yes, the eternal struggle of having the most famous scene in Hamlet combined with the most famous soliloquy in Hamlet. Yet they are from completely different acts and scenes.
