Those of you who spent the weekend Tokyo drift-racing your way to a rap battle—or whatever it is people do when they go outside on the weekend—probably feel pretty good about yourselves right now. At the end of the day, though, what do you have to show for it? Vague memories of changing lanes. Twenty-five of the people who wisely chose to stay home and craft items, on the other hand, now have shiny new ultra-rare golden wrenches that they can keep. For a weekend? No. For a lifetime. Eat it, drift-racers. Eat all of it. Luckily for you wrenchless unfortunates, there's still time to get one. A further 75 golden wrenches can be found through crafting all this week*. We'll also be teasing Engie's new weapons (the first of which, the revenge-critting Frontier Justice,, is currently on display)—with all of this culminating in the long-awaited Engineer Update this Thursday! *Note that we've disabled the Smelt Reclaimed Metal & Smelt Refined Metal recipes. They'll work again once the Engineer Update goes live. --- I'm not bothering opening the Engineer Update page, TF2.com is practically being DDOS'd There you go guys
lolwhut??? that's why i can't find any items!!!! fuck you cheapskates give me my frickin drops and shove that wrench where the sun don't shine :evil:
DARN, i had this briliant plan to do that whole time when tuesday kicks off in seattle.. P.S. the site is already up www.teamfortress.com/engineerupdate already posted it in the tf2 updates but oh well ^^
ow come on valve!!! didn't you delete the "no random crits" on an other weapon just because of the tf_weapon_criticals svar??? my god if i have this weapon i'll be pooping crits all trough to next milenium :roll: 2 crits for every kill, 1 for every assist... my sentry kills +/- 12 people on the first dustbowl stage, not to mention the assists wich i don't have time to count... so that means i have more crits then the frickin gun can cary :roll: man i'm going to troll the hell out of the 2fort server with this
note that you only get the crits once the sentry is down. next question would be if you actually get to keep the crits until you fired them all or if they expire after time or after you die. my guess is a small indicator for how many you got, like the demo's headcounter, not decaying until actually fired or you die. also, slight disadvantage to the gun: once you stored up some crits you can't use it for spychecking anymore. gotta use the pistol for that then, but who knows what the new pistol will do and what you'll want to save that for... still, cant wait to have this on maps like granary, fastpath and badlands... and now lets hope for an anti-spy-pistol or gadget or whatever. hm, just thought about this, if this synergy effect is the theme of the update, then we'll prolly not get an actual new building, but the other unlocks will in turn synergize with dispenser-healing and people teleported i guess.
hmmm spycheck with 100% crits? it's a sure kill... but i just find it such a weird way to get crits :roll: ... soldier needs to do a airshot to get minicrit, pyro has to ignite people and then whack them or flank them with the BB, AND they removed the "no random crits" from the blutsauger... so why does valve done it "AGAIN" realy the updates are realy starting to get weird and old medic update was very good and balanced (except for the blutsauger that they fixed) dunno but the rest of my classe is allmost play vanilla... medic only ubersaw (why use the bonesaw?) soldier the equalizer (why use the shovel?) the rest of the weapons are not realy... can't even find a word for it haha
I wish Valve would stop it with the random drop/weeklycap/limited items bullshit. I don't give a flying fuck how rare it is or how cool it is as long as I have no reliable way of getting it.
yeah, I'm not gonna craft away a bunch of items cos of this. I did a couple, not more. cos I needed some space by now guess that about 25 hats and 9 Refined, 2 Reclaimed, 32 weapons and some spare weapons for special weapons from the polycount etc is 100 items.... cant keep a full duplicate set of weapons anymore :S. http://www.tf2items.com/id/DataStorm
Crafted away my dupes and some of my non-dupes, result: nothing.... gah i'm a real sucker if it's about some special.. :lol: valve is kind of an sneaky one...first we removed our dupes and then get a craft system. then some crafted all their stuff away and never see it back (AXY WHERE UUU!) and now during the whole working towards a hat economy they throw in a craft your low amount of stuff away and hope for that golden ticket....
the trick is doing a craft every now and then... one did craft away all he had.... except for a couple weaps he uses.... and regarding my backpack, I have crafted a bit now. crafted a hat... Glengary Bonnet (my 2nd , thats with random tries )
summarized it will be just another unbalanced shitty update that will mess up the game for the next few weeks and the shotgun is never going to be jused again! hell if a engineer can get close to a heavy he can shoot him down in no time! sooo you will have engineers that have a sentry that may kill one or 2 people and then run around shooting everyone to bits
Jeez all this whining about the update, it's like you guys actually have to pay for them! :roll: I'm actually really looking forward to what else good'ol Engy is going to get. I imagine Frontier Justice is really good when your going offensive engineering. Get couple sneaky kills and then shoot some crits.
that't true. In my opinion Valve shouldn't have thrown in the community weapons and hats. A big update with weapons and hats aren't rare anymore. It used to be that we had to wait about 4-6 months for a class update, now it happens every week. @ Kick, I use the things from the REAL class updates every now and then. some always like the flaregun. those community weapons suck ass though
@ kill yep nice example i missed xD the flaregun fits the pyro super, hbut makes the pyro useless under water (so always nice to have the shotgun around) but other weapons are so i dunno weird and sucky :lol: don't get me wrong, i like the demo knight always get's me some laughs BUT it also completly trows away the role of the demoman. oh yeah and i think they should put the medic tauntkill on the bonesaw so it's not completely useless haha :lol:
Not true i played with the IW today because my loadout went and still topped the leaderboard with just over 100 points, i partially agree with you that i cant play with a iw or cnd as good anymore due to my play style being way to aggressive now.
still don't get why the items aren't stored local :s i mean, 98% of tf2 players have all the weapons, steam server is down for some weird reason and still 5 people are the only ones not able to use their unlocks... like i was running away with a shovel and died because it didn't move as fast hahaha
