[TF2] Thread 10! Server back up

[Weeaboo]

Do I have to spend money to get a key to open a crate?

Depends on whether you're F2P or not.
If you're F2P, I'd just suggest buying a key.

[Wesley Foxx]

Basically, get $5, put it in the steam wallet, spend $2.49 on a key, be instantly upgraded to premium, including the ability to find hats and trade, get a free hat (unless they finally stopped giving them out) a free bonus item. Then you still have $2.51 to spend on summer/winter sale specials.

Also you can trade metal/hats/etc for keys.

[Catbread]

The Boston Boom-Bringer.

Oh my.
I am not confident in my Scout skills at all, but I would wear it anyway because it is amazing.

But I don't have much to offer, so I'm going to have to get creative.

Here's what I'd trade for it:

-A Strange Rainblower/Strange Lollichop combo
-The Attendant
-The Grenadier's Softcap

All those. I think that's pretty close to the going price.
If that's not enough, I'll look around for more things. I like radio

[Ultra]

Hey, does anyone have an unused Strange Rainblower? I ave two strange lolichops and I'd be willing to give on away.

Yes, they still give away the hats.
The bonus item only goes towards a friend on your friendlist that "helped" you the most.

[Wesley Foxx]

Oh right, the specs too. I forgot the bonus stuff is only for larger purchases, but still, the specs.

Don't even get a key unless you want it. If you just want premium, but a rocket jumper instead, they only cost 50 cents if I remember correctly.

[Wesley Foxx]

If you just want premium, yeah, buy a jumper, maybe a map sticker. But if you just want stuff in general, buy keys, trade keys. You can always trade them for more than you can buy with the exception of the jumpers and starter packs; eg, even with all the inflation, keys are still worth way more than tags/weapons/hats despite costing the same or less in the store.

[Bobster]

Is anyone interested in my Strange Lollichop or my Liquidator's Lid? Not looking for anything in particular, so feel free to throw out any reasonable offer.

[Kaitostrike]

And the final answer on the new maps is...

Yes to Arakawa, no to Rooftop. Arakawa is being added to the maplist for Saxton Hale.

[Wesley Foxx]

We are on page 99, by the way, Kaito, if you want to start working on a new thread OP.

[curiousTerminal]

I'm going to have a - so to speak - "fire sale" I think.

OH GOD WE'RE HAVING A FIRE
...
...
...
SALE.

I'm also selling a Liquidator's Lid, by the way. I don't think I'm ever taking off my Bucket Helm out of sentimentality for my first ever hat drop.

[nixshadow]

Yeah do that, and then..sell it to me.

[WordsHere]

If you want to trade with me, just friend me on Steam and message me (steamcommunity.com/id/wordshere).

[Konork]

12 per week with diminishing returns. Unused drops will carry over into the next week for a total of 24. If I'm not mistaken. I've been idling for about four hours and I so far have six drops + crates and burnt stuff.

The cap is based off of playtime, not item drops. No idea what the max playtime per week is, it's probably on the wiki somewhere.

[forkinyoureye]

It's something like ten or twelve hours.

[Catbread]

I go on a random server to play around with my new Scout's Boom-Bringer (thanks again WordsHere), and what do I find? Some kind of mini-sentry festival, from the look of it.
Anyone on the opposing team who wasn't a Gunslinger Engie was either a Medic/Heavy pair or a Sniper wearing a football helmet, argyle sweater, and cowboy boots, all painted bright pink, with a named and described strange rifle, who used voice commands following a kill (there are a few subtle ways one can tell whether their opponent has played a lot of TF2 and is therefore a serious threat).

So that was a bit disappointing.

Yeah I could have changed servers but that would have taken effort


Also: Thanks Weeaboo for that graph. As a dedicated idler, that provides some useful information ("man, I wish I wasn't idling so I could play Dungeons of Dredmor. Have I hit the limit, yet?").

Also also: I got a bunch of scorched crates and I hate lazing about on trade servers trying to sell them.
Since they're going to evaporate soon, I'll give them to anyone on here who wants them for the low price of nothing whatsoever.

[MESIAS_ROCKET]

Glorious night, one of my good old servers is back: plus4chan - The Butthouse. And it felt so good to play with some of my old friends from there.
A true Anonex-mas miracle.

hmm, crates... I might take on them Tuesday, you know, before they run out if anyone is still stuck with them, but other then that I'd rather take a break from them.

If you need crates, I can give you some.
And plenty of scorched ones.

[Superfrequency]

If I could model, I know the perfect hat for Pyro.



Think about it.

Team colored.

Ovophile's Ornament??

Looks like Mr Tie started the new thread.
