Team Fortress 2

[C-Fan]

EDIT:

Strange parts: allies extinguished

Sold for 2 reclaimed.

even since stranges came out, i gave you all my crappy stuff.

And I'm doing my best to sell it all. Speaking of which, this is what I have left:

Uncraft (!) Sticky Jumper
Strange bushwacka
Strange loch n load
Strange boston basher
Strange Rocket launcher
Strange Skullcutter x2

Overall I have to say I did a pretty good job selling Julien's stuff. It would have been nice to have sold his botkiller stuff before the prices fell as far as they did, but what can you do. I did manage to sell all his high value items, and quite a few of his "crappy stuff" too. I feel like my work is pretty much 90% done, so the way I see it Julien has two options:

1. Take back the unsold items, plus the 4.66 reclaimed I owe him. (edit: I previously wrote 4.88, but realized that's not possible for reclaimed. I've sold items for 4 reclaimed and 2 scrap, which is 4.66)
2. Have me keep trying to sell the remaining items, but know that it might be a slow trickle if at all from now on out.

I'm good with either option. Let me know!

[akalazou]

thx Ken, i'll take my stuff but keep the metal for your service.

on another subject.

i tried something today but i didnt make it to its full potencial but it was very fun to do. i tried, on low difficulty mvm levels (free version), eyelander demo. boosting running speed and melee weapon. its so damn fast !!!! and if you get all upgrades on the melee, you can get 4s crits each kill (which make 195 dmg), fast melee'ing and almost as fast as a full upgraded speed scout. ill try it again later, but i think it worth a try

[C-Fan]

Settled up with Julien, on all his old items/metal.

Now, I will try and sell these items for him:

2 Silver BK knives
Normal Awesomenauts badge
Silver BK RL
Carbonado Sticky launcher

Silver BK Knife sold for 2.33 refined.

[C-Fan]

Silver BK Knife traded for rust bk flamethrower.

What's the worst item you've ever uncrated? And the flip of that, what is the best?

I've been pretty damn lucky with my uncrates to date. So far, I've unboxed four crates. All have been crate 42, since I calculated it had the best return for the probability. Here's what I've gotten:

1. Misty skull bubble pipe unusual hat. I ended up trading this for 5 unusuals, which was probably a loss in total value, but still, I got 5 unusuals for one key.
2. Strange part: Projectiles reflected. Ended up selling this for 1 key and 1 ref, so I came out with a 1 refined profit.
3. Strange part: Projectiles reflected. Just got tonight, but should be able to sell for a key.
4. Strange part: Headshot kills. Worth 3 keys. Should be able to sell for this, I'm hoping.

Feel like my next crate I'm due for a crappy strange unbox.

Silver BK Knife traded for rust bk flamethrower.

Silver BK Rocket Launcher sold for a TOD ticket, and 1.33 refined.

Bam.

Julien, hit me up when you get back to Montreal.

Edit: Tallying it all up, I owe Julien:

2 TOD tickets (bought you another for 1.33 ref)
Rust BK flamethrower
2.33 refined.

Still haven't sold the awesomnauts badge or the carbonado sticky, but will continue to try.

What's the worst item you've ever uncrated? And the flip of that, what is the best?

Feel like my next crate I'm due for a crappy strange unbox.

Yep! It happened. And now that keys are even more expensive (try buying any at less than 3 refined!), I'm gonna say no more unboxing for me. Unless I can somehow get a naughty key...cause I do want to open my naughty crate. Whatever, I still refuse to spend any money on this game, so it'll come down to whether i can get one through trading or not.

So here's my crating history to date: I've now unboxed six crates. All have been crate 42, since I calculated it had the best return for the probability. Here's what I've gotten:

1. Misty skull bubble pipe unusual hat. I ended up trading this for 5 unusuals, which was probably a loss in total value, but still, I got 5 unusuals for one key.
2. Strange part: Projectiles reflected. Ended up selling this for 1 key and 1 ref, so I came out with a 1 refined profit.
3. Strange part: Projectiles reflected. Sold for a key.
4. Strange part: Headshot kills. Worth 3 keys. Had trouble selling it, but eventually used it as collateral in a trade for an unusual.
5. Strange bottle! Noooo! Sold for one reclaimed.
6. Strange backscratcher! Ack! Reversion to the mean! Sold for one reclaimed.

I currently have 4 keys left, a naughty crate, and a crate 42. So who knows, I might try again. I feel like I have all the stranges I want, I'm happy with my 5 unusuals, and I'm happy with my loadouts. So why not blow the remaining keys? Gonna wait until the winter keys come out before I do anything rash.

Unrelated note, here are my current unusual hats:

Smoking Officer's Ushanka. My favorite Heavy hat, with a decent effect.
Nuts and Bolts Chieftain's Challenge. My 2nd favorite Soldier hat, with one of the lowest tier effects. I know it's worth the least, but I actually like this effect.
Bubbling Scotch Bonnet. My 2nd favorite Demoman hat, with a cool effect. Also not worth much, but I love how it looks.
Massed flies Brain Slug, painted brown. Probably my most valuable hat, but I like it just cause it's funny. It really looks like a poop on your head.
Orbiting planets Grimme Hatte. If this hat isn't my favorite medic hat, it's at least top 3. And it looks sweet with the effect.

Had to do a lot of hustling to trade into these hats, but now I finally feel satisfied with my hat situation.

Winter keys disappear tomorrow. This was a weird christmas event period, since I was gone for about a week of it, and the trading website I used was down for some of the time I was here. I accumulated some winter crates and keys, had trouble selling them, so ended up opening a few myself. My goal with the uncrates was to get any festive strange wep; I didn't even care what it was. Based on the values of items I was seeing in the crates, it seemed like the rate of return was pretty good, so I opened four crates total. I got:

1. Festive grenade launcher. Ended up selling it for 1 normal key.
2. Festive Sandvich. Ended up selling it for 1 naughty key, which I used on my next crate.
3. Festive Huntsman. Sold for a key.
4. Festive Sandvich. Traded for Snipers Killed SP, which I then sold for a key.

So now I have something like 9 keys and 10 refined left.

Not really sure what my remaining goals are in this game. I'm happy with the unusual hats I have, and 98% happy with my character loadouts (a strange grenade launcher would be nice). I guess for now I'll just continue leveling up my stranges and having fun, and slowly build up my keys until I can make another play at an unusual for spy/sniper/engie.

2 part question:

1. What is your favorite single item you own now? Why?
2. What is your dream item? Why?

[akalazou]

1. favorite item: vintage baker boy (scout hat)
2. dream item: hale's own sandman. why ???? because the sandman is the best weapon out there. i just hope that valve would make it count the stuns! i can't get rid of a heavy medic combo with this weapon!! stun the heavy, kill the medic. stun the heavy, kill the heavy. very hard to do, but so much fun to do. There is many ways to use it. i thought to make a video tutorial about it.

ways i found to use it:

1. stun the ennemy getting healed, and kill the medic which is defense less, because he will keep healing his teammate until he realise you are coming for him
2. stun ennemies to escape from anybody (especialy heavies)
3. stun ennemies to come close and kill them with scattergun
4. stun ennemies that come at you when you are capping a CP and make your team win (awesome to do too)
5. stun ennemies to protect your team mates
6. stun ennemies to help your sniper getting HS's
7. stun ennemies to piss them off, just for fun
8. stun a demoman to get through his sticky trap
9. stun a cloaked spy to kill him before he escape
10. double stun an ennemy, stun it once, run towards him and attack him, take your ball back when you attack him and when he comes back to reality, stun him again to finish the job
11. kill an ennemy with the ball
12. and the best over all of this, doing a homerun and run to the ennemy to bat him down !


also, it make you at 110 HP, so have to be very carefull about how you play, makes you become better IMO, you have to learn how to dodge everything

what about you Ken ?

[akalazou]

just a quick scout update:

Rage-Inducing Silver Botkiller Scattergun Mk.I - Kills: 2230
Wicked Nasty Pistol - Kills: 578
Server-Clearing Sandman - Kills: 2525 (Heavies Killed: 121) <-- so much fun

the pistol is almost useless as you can see

Face-Melting Silver Botkiller Scattergun - Kills: 1378
Wicked Nasty Pistol - Kills: 517
Rage-Inducing Sandman - Kills: 2019 (Heavies Killed: 99)

plus, i think i did an awesome trade:

i traded a strange knife i think, i can't remember ) that worth 0.66

for 2 dead ringer,1 cloak and dagger and 1 Elli's cap. the hat only worth 1.22, and i didn't have it

[C-Fan]

2 part question:

1. What is your favorite single item you own now? Why?
2. What is your dream item? Why?

1. I'd have to say my favorite item is my strange degreaser (3402 kills). It just offers so many options gameplay-wise, I never get bored with it. I have a strange powerjack (244 kills) and strange axetinguisher (853 kills) which work great with it due to the weapon switch time, and when I use the powerjack I get the speed boost too. I also like that I can help my teammates by extinguishing them (763), deflecting projectiles (1355), and obviously spychecking. There's also few things more satisfying than killing people with reflected projectiles. Last week I headshotted a spy using his teammate's huntsman arrow!

2. Dream item is tough. I always liked the HOUWAR hat. But if I had to choose something today, it'd probably be an unusual blighted beak to go with my orbit planets grimme hatte. It'd just be so cool to have 2 effects going at once on my medic.

[C-Fan]

After 1058 hours of playing, I finally got a hat drop! I was beginning to think that would never happen. It was a shitty hat (magnificent mongolian), but still.

In other hat news, I picked up a new unusual hat: I bought a blizzardy storm counterfeit billycock for 16 keys. Given that spy is disguised most of the time, there's not a lot of point to it, but it's cool that I have unusual hats for 6 of the 9 classes now.

Ended up trading that hat for a smoking batter's helmet. Since that got retired, I was able to trade it (plus 4.5 keys of sweets) for a smoking, black, texas ten gallon! So now I have 6 unusuals, and for classes that I use the most.
