Hey all, gonna spool up some TF2 regularly on Mondays.
I will be on mic in the Righteous Wrath group chat at 7 PM. Generally I like to Point Cap and/or Push Tiny Cart, I don't care what servers, I just randomly pick usually.
Probably will NOT be on tonight. At least until late if at all.
Okie doke, I'll be on chat between 7 and 8 for sure...
Oh man, tonight was good, good mix of teams this time, lots of see saw.
I've also figured out how to play Spy, I don't know why I didn't use the Dead Ringer before but it kicks ass and fools so many people hee hah hoo
I also earned Spy milestone 2 tonight (yay!) and did more damage as a Demoman than ever before (double yay!)
FYI the name filter issue on the Older than DOS server should be fixed now..

Sweet, thanks!
Gonna try playing tonight if I can
Just a general comment, I was playing TF2 last night in practise mode to try to wrap my brain around sniper (turns out if I wear my reading glasses playing this class is way easier).
But anyway, you get drops in practise mode and I keep getting the damn pain train; WORST DROP EVER
It's useless, all I can really use it for is to craft junk but right now I don't have enough to make some fun stuff I want to make boo

3 scrap = 1 reclaimed
3 reclaimed = 1 Refined Metal
You can purchase almost anything you want on a one of the trading servers if you have enough Refined. Note when someone states the cost of something on a trading server it is in Refined Metal.
Also people scrap banking on the trading servers will take ANY 2 weapons and give you scrap, as opposed to the crafting system that requires them to be dupes or from the same class and type.
Interesting!
Yeah, I don't want to scrap any of my weapons as I've used up most of the dupes and I'm saving some scout stuff for ya
PEW PEW PEW!
Steampunk laser weapons for Soldier? YES!

I'm so sad... I bought nearly $20 of stuff from MANN Co. last night... I HAD TO lol
Welp I guess I need to open art commissions again.
Also I crafted the Disciplinary Action last night, nothing quite like bursting out of the gates 40% faster!
What's that sound? YOU CAN WHIP IT
So I crafted The Amputator last night so I could get the medieval medic bonus (+1 health per second) it's actually pretty useful and being able to group heal with the taunt is kinda neat. It's great for choke points, just watch for snipers haha
Still getting a hang of the Cow Mangler 5000, still not sure if I'll main with it, it's as slow as the vanilla rocket lawnchair, after being so used to The Liberty Launcher I don't know... I do like the 5 shots though!
Loving the Disciplinary Action getting that extra boost of speed coming in has been handy on capture maps. Making a heavy 40% faster all the way from the spawn is useful :D
So anyone up for some TF2 this weekend?

I will probably be busy most of the weekend, but will probably try to pop on once or twice to break in the new system. Managed to get Steam and TF2 downloaded just before bed last night.

Okay, actually I have to get my SSD installed too so... with luck I'll be on Saturday sometime.
Good luck though man!
Some of you others though, would be cool to see you in game :D
Woo yeah! I got the Reserve Shooter as a random drop today. I was just playing for a bit to collect junk so I could craft it! hahaha
WAHOO!
Also I kick ass as a Medieval Medic, the health regen rate + the taunt group heal ability is awesome. I mean, how many times have you been on fire and not been able to do a darn thing about it? Now you can, just roll back to a safer spot with your buddies around and play dat saw like it never been played before :D
First time I've finished a round with more than 125 points! (it was on CP_EGYPT too, a map which I'd never played before today)
I also played some practice mode to try out some new stuff, turns out a clump of Engineers is really tough to knock out (with bots anyway)
Played for a bit today, and got lots of randoms, and I crate. I have a key but couldn't figure out how to use it on the crate :(.
So far the Heavy, Engineer, and Soldier are my favs.

Okay, to use your key select it in your backpack and the "use with" button will light up click it and and all the items you can't use it with will darken, then just find something compatible you can use it with (crate), select it and you'll get prompted :D easy peasy!
Incidentally I'll trade you a Big Steel Jaw of Summer Fun (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Big_Steel_Jaw_of_Summer_Fun) and a Frontier Justice (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Frontier_justice) for your Genuine Dead Cone (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Dead_cone) and your Market Gardener (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Market_Gardener) (I'm trying to complete the airborne Soldier :D )
I'll also give you two crates!
I AM the Demoman!
I finally figured out how to play this tricky class, nailed 3 achievements in one round AND got the first unlock!
AYE THAT'S THE WAY YA DO IT!!

I see you hit Engineer Milestone 1 today so I guess you don't need that
Frontier Justice LOL
Ah well, crafting! :)
Heh, sorry I couldn't join you every time I checked the server was full, b'oh!
The server I was on had a lot of newbies I think, I've never killed so many spies before LOL
Don't forget to join the RW chat channel with voice when you are playing.
FYI when in RW voice chat the mic is open, but if you hit v your voice will still be heard normally in your team on the server.

I was on there today when Melbosa was on, tried to join the server he was playing but it was full so ended up on a newbie server (at least I think they were newbies).
Anyways, I usually try to be on there before I get the game started.
I also I mapped the voice key to one of my mouse side buttons :D (makes it easier) I also mapped the melee weapon selection button the other side button handy for classes like Engineer or Spy
I was on when Melbosa was on for a while, didn't see any chat from him in game... I even used voice a few times in game..

Ooh I see, that must have been later. I only played for 4 or 5 rounds on Badlands (http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Badlands) before it rotated to Goldrush (http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Gold_Rush) (so about an hour between 3 and 4 PM give or take)
I've been in and out of the game all weekend (finally learnt how to make transparent sprays) and did a quick trade with Mel before I went out this morning.
Yeah sorry, didn't have a mic installed when I was playing so I couldn't talk.

Ahh okay
So I've been playing against bots trying to get experience with the sniper rifle and being a melee Demoman, I got the Eyelander AND Nessie's 9 Iron as drops last night, collecting heads and getting health/speed boost is kind of fun but it really changes how you play Demo
I like how the sword whispers to you "Heeeeeeeeeeads! HeadsHeadsHeads!" LOL

Just take note that the swords reduce your over all health unless you counter them with Ali Baba's Wee Booties (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Ali_Baba%27s_Wee_Booties)

Yes, that's why you typically want to equip the shields because they give you fire/blast damage resistance. The booties sure work well but losing all your ranged capability is pretty tough (for me) to adapt to
One of the best things too is you can take advantage of the crit boost the charge does using grenades, I've been able to clear a while cap point with four grenades.
Ooh I also got another
Cow Mangler 5000 so if anyone wants one let me know :D
I wouldn't mind the Cow Mangler 5000, I have been getting lots of Boots for the Soldier but not much else.
Also in the Melee only modes the Demoman is king with the boots + shield and sword.

Cool! If you see me on Steam (or vice versa) tonight we'll trade some stuff!
I also have some Scout stuff for ya
EDIT: Oh yeah! The Cow Mangler 5000 is pretty good, you get an extra shot and it requires no ammo (but it does require reloading), the only thing you have to remember is that the function times are a little slower (I'd say about the same as the standard rocket launcher) and you don't do very much damage to buildings. The charged shot is pretty handy if you have enemies at choke points or other objectives like carts and capture points, just remember to have an exit plan for the reloading (reloading all 5 shots takes a long time, like 4 sec or so).
