Team Fortress 2

Welp, I immediately regret my purchase now. Queues are now longer as fuck.

Disappeared because of weapon loans. Which are given when contracts that require a certain weapon you don't have will be borrowed.

Okay, so... my borrowed Dragon's Fury disappeared.

I was one point off finishing the contract, and then it just poofed away. It's nowhere in my inventory, I cannot buy it from the Mann Co. Store, and I cannot start another contract either until I'm finished with this one. Does anyone know of the problem and if it can be fixed?

EDIT: Problem solved; apparently you need to activate the first Pyro contract, and then activate Dragon's Fury again.

Everyone. Welcome to the new meta. And yes, I have done this many times on Mercenary Camp. Even had a face to face showdown with another, but too bad I had 1 million health.

you guys been getting stranges out of those Cosmetic Cases? got two pretty decent ones in a row just yesterday

Now patched. Now to be honest here, that one I saw more people wasting half the game (boy did I see people waste half the game) trying to get their health high than I did see people actually use the exploit to great effect.

Mmmph and Gas Canister share a meter spot. And why on Earth do you not start the round with a full one? It's not as if it's particularly better than Jarate or Mad Milk.

Shit. I needed that exploit. I just need a few stars to complete on my heavy quests. Also wanted to use it against the pyros spreading like AIDS in almost every match.

Also, this summarises the exploit◊.

always seems like soldier players get the saltiest compared to others

That was a very good video.

So, thanks to an oversight, festive aussies are now a thing. Thanks to the fact they weren't mentioned in the patch notes and the fact that their overlay when festivizing them is bugged to heck, many people are saying it was unintentional.

As a result, the community market practically exploded overnight. Festivizers shot up majorly in value, aussies are being sold like hot cakes and even festive aussie SM Gs are around the 150-170 range right now.

Gotta love glitches, huh?

I remember the times when Keys were 2.66 Ref. Those were good times.

I don't really dwell on the trading scene; Jungle Inferno contracts were in fact the first thing I ever bought off the store. I expect contract-locked items to shoot up in value over time, so some modest profit could be made off those.

TF Crew (A collection of well known TF 2 Youtubers) have sponsored a team (going by the name "TF Crew Esports"): https://twitter.com/TFcrewOfficial/status/955177114986201088

Just got Lord Cockswain's Novelty Mutton Chops and Pipe off a random drop~

I'm not sure if it looks better than Marshal's Mutton Chops, but I'll take it all the same. Plus, it's always nice to get a cosmetic off a drop like that.

Soooo...

Anybody got any advice for the Phlogistinator contract's bonus mission? "Get 5 kills while mmmph'd in a single life"... and do it 10 times.

It's damn near impossible.

Play Payload with a friend willing to pocket you for a bit, probably.

Though, it's probably possible to do it without a medic if you can get the right angle of attack (preferably the one that lets you be instantly on people on the cart).

This is probably the best cosmetic loadout I've ever seen, and I've seen many in my days.◊

Something something "grant us eyes".

Kos, some say Kosm...

Anyone feel like helping me with the Amputator contract? I have to heal 250 health in a second twice; easy enough, I just need a under-50-health Heavy, a Quick-Fix uber, and that Heavy to stay undamaged for 15 seconds. In the meantime I'll try to earn the contract actually using the Amputator.

Would be glad to help anyone with a contract in return, even if that just means going Medic and keeping you alive during some bizarre Flare Gun rampage.

Apparently, rewards for one of the Mv M tourneys will no longer be available come 1st of April.

After using both of my Mann Up Tickets, I went to the bootcamp. Ended up on a normal mission.

I haven't... met such clinically terrible players in a long while. They didn't seem to have basic awareness to move, let alone pick those huge stacks of money we've missed. It's bad when your engie has to lug it across the battlefield.

I usually Boot Camp, and man have I met some strange players there. It's always a wild ride. Obviously there's almost always one who doesn't have an F4 key, but if only that were the end of it. I'm still salty about one time I got kicked from a group for missing 10 credits in the first wave — not ideal results as a Scout, no, and money is important, but it wouldn't have happened if I hadn't had to repeatedly dart from opposite sides of the map to prevent the bomb going in. And guys! It takes all of two seconds to ask, "Could you switch to med?"

10 Credits? Try half of the wave's money. They would kill the robots - or they'd pick off whatever stragglers I haven't killed with my sentry - and then just... not pick up the money.

A Sniper was literally scoped two steps away from a pile for a Giant bot.

Update, update, read all about it. This was a relatively hefty one, by the standards of non-major updates, but some of the highlights include a new reworked competitive system, a change to how matchmaking works under the hood, some new maps added to Casual Mode, and a lot of bug fixes. Maybe most importantly, Pyro's flames have been reworked again:

Some weapons are also being changed a bit, including the Sydney Sleeper, the Thermal Thruster (holster time is reduced a bit), the Short Circuit, and the Axtinguisher. I found this bit a bit touching, for the last weapon:

Oh, and of course, most importantly, some new cosmetics. I've had a quick look; some of them look cool. You can have a look at them here, though you'll likely want to scroll past the various medals also handed out to see them. My personal shout-outs go to the Hot Case (and the hat that goes with it), and 'Aristotle', the latter solely because it made me laugh a bit.

Goddamnit, there goes my hobby.
