The Team Fortress 2 Clubhouse

I believe I am -8GMT.

 

[Dazzeerr]

I've been in the group ages, but haven't been added to the list. :O *hint*

I would be up for some games too I'm GMT, only problems are obviously the time difference and latency, when I've tried to play with Americans before it has often ended soon because of frustration with connections.

Engineer update is gogogogogo!!! http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=4048

There are now going to be over 9000 engies just sitting in spawn, playing with their remote controlled SG's.

Spoiler

and one of them will be me

I'm not even going to try to farm tonight...or any this week. It will just be hell.

Doesn't work like that.

Man valve seriously ruined this game for me.

Those who spend more cash on the game have a clear unfair advantage over those who either A. Don't have money

or

B. Don't want to spend any more

Since now you can buy weapons that give you health per hit or increase your speed among other things its very frustrating.

Its like they introduced the social class element into the game. The rich will have more power than the poor type of thing.

Anyone else pissed off with this move, I can't even stand to look at the game anymore. :shadedshu

I definitely had an issue with it, especially for those who can't afford to pay for weapons (especially for me since im unemployed right now ) So it kind of created a separation within the community, those who can spend a ton of money on new weapons and get the advantages, and those of us currently in a bind or unwilling to pay hence we don't get the benefit of new weapons, and hence an unfair advantage is created.

I also have some issues with the weapons themselves, i think a lot of weapons actually went outside the original purpose of that certain class. We shouldn't have weapons that allow a Heavy to be faster then a Scout or a Sniper rifle that doesn't deal out headshots, it defeats the purpose as to why the class was created in the first place and what it excelled in opposed to other classes. It turned from knowing your advantages and working with them into, 'if you buy these weapons, you don't have to worry about it'.

I haven't played TF2 in a while, but i was a pretty heavy player at one point, i have played the game since it came out back in '07 and have hundreds of hours racked up in that game. But i stopped playing a while back because it just doesn't feel right, it's still a fun game, but it's just got to many strikes against it in my mind for me to continue playing.

These days i'm mostly playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2 now.

Not really, all the new polycount items drop or can be crafted, so you don't have to pay to get the gameplay advantages from the items. People who purchased the items are desperate or impatient. I got all the new items through drops, crafting, and trades all under 2 days since the update, and slowly getting the new hats that are part of the kit.

Every where I keep looking it says you can not craft items for sell (online that is). Looking at teamfortress.com is does say you can craft polycount wepeaons but what does polycount mean and is still just the weapons? what about the other items that give users advantages?



And if you can it must say how difficult it is to craft the items if it has people paying real money to get them in the first place. The money advantage factor is still there.

 

[ktr]

Yea, you can find or craft every item of the polycount, that includes both the weapons AND hats.

http://www.tf2items.com/crafting/blueprints.php (scroll down the page).

And as I said: People who purchased the items are desperate or impatient.

Let us say that Mann-co store doesn't exist and only system to get new items is only through the drop system. There is still an unfair advantage to the people who got lucky and got the items early verse the people who didn't get the items yet.

Long story short, it makes no relevant difference for people who paid for items or not, because there is already a segmentation due to the drop system alone.

So, to obtain new weapons you can either craft them or buy them right?

But crafting means using what items you randomly get through the drop system right?

So now its not only segmented by the drop system but through the purchasing system too. That still means that there will be a group of people who don't get lucky with the drop system and don't have money to buy new weapons who will never obtain these advantageous weapons.

Not trying to argue with you just trying to see how its fair or unfair (which seems to be the case IMO).

I also find the crafting system annoying as hell! I never cared for it but now they are forcing me to learn and look up all the blueprints if I want a new weapon and I just don't want to have to devote more time. I just want to kill some people fair and square valve, like I use to be able to in TF2.

So many dang crafting possibilities and crap I don't care about. Why did they ever introduce the crafting system... Oh I know! Maybe to get people like me who don't want to craft to pay for it instead, but I can't do that either.

You can obtain the new items though:

1. drop
2. crafting with drops
3. trading
4. buying

You have many options other than just buying. Trading is probably the easiest way to get items you want. People who are crying about fair and unfair are not taking advantage of the trading system, which I am genuinely surprised that it works as well as it does.

Cause I don't like the system

I refuse to be apart of it.

Let me just ask you something. Have you bought an item from the TF2 store?

Well bottom line is I don't want to craft! But thats the only real choice to get the good stuff (That or buy).

If I don't craft or buy I don't have anything good to offer so trading is out of the question.

I don't think purchasable weapons get dropped do they? If they do I will just stop my complaining right here.

So that just leaves crafting and buying again.

Everyone has a price. Crates and scrap metal are really popular and in demand. You can easily get a polycount weapon for a crate or scrap metal. Also being that the community is flooded with new items, they are willing to trade for about anything.

I don't think purchasable weapons get dropped do they? If they do I will just stop my complaining right here.

All...ALL weapons can be drop or crafted. Promo weapons (they don't have special attributes) like the Lugarmorph, Big Kill, or Fry pan do not drop or cannot be crafted, but they can be traded.

 

[AphexDreamer]

Some new maps and Halloween special stuff.

 

[CDdude55]

Some new maps and Halloween special stuff.

Yep:

Should be pretty cool.

 

[_JP_]

Wow...a year old...
Does anybody here still play this? I just started.
Sorry for digging up this thread...but it's Halloween and all, so I though it would make sense.

 

[suraswami]

I occassionally play, but not getting time these days.

 

[Irony]

I play from time to time.

I used to be a huge TF2 addict, i would always follow each class/map/game updates and i have several hundreds of hours of online play with it. But i haven't touched the game in a long time, i think it's because of all the other great games that started to come out after the release of TF2 moved my attention away from the game and as that happened the game changed significantly in the time that i left to play other games so i never bothered to learn all the new things they put into the game.

 

[_JP_]

Alright.
I'm going to apply for the clubhouse on Steam.

 

[imperialreign]

I still play regularly . . . I try to get on for a few hours on the weekends more-so than during the week.

y'all are free to add me: http://steamcommunity.com/id/imperialreign

I know I saw this before I even played TF2. But I was reminded of what I am about to show you, while I was hearing "Rocket Jump Waltz" (love that 40 second song ).
Now, this has sounded some bells and whistles a while back, because I saw it in the summer...thereabouts....but it's still in alfa-stage or something...

Any resemblance to a certain game is purely your imagination, coincidence or both...
