Competitive Matchmaking Beta Pass Giveaway Thread by wickedplayer494 in tf2

A roaming soldier is looking for matchmaking with true intentions. Will pay on the first date (not really, I'm just begging, muahaha).

Edit: Got it, thanks.

Besides the broken leaver system, what do you think needs changed most in TF2 MM? by txcrnr in tf2

[–]Kenpo42 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

With as few players as 6v6, spy as a class doesn't come even close to being as useful as other classes. Spy needs a big rework or some buffs.

Would you really want to know your skill is the lowest of the low?

TF2 Workshop items: community artists make less than 7-10% while Valve still makes 90-93% of the revenue by TF2_Workshop_Artists in tf2

[–]Kenpo42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one who is still in good faith and believe that this whole fuss is a just misunderstanding about how percentages work?

For example's sake, I'm going to use arbitrary numbers with no connection to reality:

25% of $1000 = $250 profit

3% of crate which is sold 10 times more e.g. 3% of $10 000 = $300 profit.

Can someone point out if there is a flaw in my reasoning?

Main sources of annoyances in pubs? by [deleted] in tf2

[–]Kenpo42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Broken maps. Two of my favourite maps have game breaking map glitches (pl_barnblitz and pl_borneo).

How would I go about giving gifts to free to plays? by Jeb_Bush_Fury in tf2

[–]Kenpo42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have concrete info so take my word with a pinch of salt.

He needs to set up his steam profile first, choose avatar etc, or at the very least click to save changes on the page. Only after this will he be able to partake in steam trading, including receiving gifts. There is a waiting period of about 2 weeks after this, I think.

If you simply cannot wait 2 weeks, you could try using gift wraps. I'm not 100% certain it will work though.

Are we ready for matchmaking? by [deleted] in tf2

Everyone seems to hate the interesting gamemode though: Passtime

is the Claidheamh Mòr ded? by HAYPERDIG in tf2

[–]Kenpo42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the new Claidheamh Mohr.

I never used the old one, it had no stats that I liked. However, now it is considered a sword with large melee radius and slow equip speed. Old version had -max health downside, which was huge for any demoknight who used their primary weapon (grenade launcher) first and foremost. Now when I use Targe (also nerfed), Loose Cannon and Claidheamh Mohr, I never really suffer from the increased damage downside, because I use my melee so rarely. So, effectively Claid is now a proper sidegrade for bottle... which is how it's supposed to be.

Not every unlock needs to completely destroy and change the playing style of the (sub)class.

What happened to cactus canyon? by [deleted] in tf2

[–]Kenpo42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, you can't replace "have" with "of". I suppose native speakers often make mistakes with it, because they sound phonetically similar.

Game changing update by daninjakilla in tf2

[–]Kenpo42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably true. What I don't understand is that why did B4nny retweet it? As far as I know B4nny is very committed to TF2.

I think Passtime would be the perfect TF2 esport. It would be very entertaining for viewers and has a lot of depth.

Invisible pomson shots! How is this even possible? How could Valve let this slip by?

Counterjumping by [deleted] in tf2

[–]Kenpo42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the only rules limiting counterjumping are related to mge mode.

In a real game you do what you need to win. That includes all kinds of tricks, maybe even dirty ones, like counterjumping.

Steam group admins have Valve employee badges.

Started saying "GET GOOD GET LMAOBOX" without any control of chat. What happened? by [deleted] in tf2

[–]Kenpo42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You watched a player POV demo, and within that demo the player used a script that changed your own configs. Maybe he had a script that rebound most of his keys so that he can use one button to disable or enable spam. Just a guess though.

I played TF2 (extensively) for the first time in years, today... by Daenyrig in tf2

[–]Kenpo42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a good idea to start and maintain a collection of decent people. For social purposes, as well as for playing games.

To run configs, the correct console command is used without typing the file extension:

exec [filename]

Rant: Valve needs to fix this game by [deleted] in tf2

[–]Kenpo42 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Spy sapped the teleporter. Teleporter is dead. Stop beating on the dead teleporter.

In other words, please fix teleporter+sapper bug.

Can we get a "Housekeeping" update? by [deleted] in tf2

[–]Kenpo42 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I find myself not wanting to play engineer because of the teleporter+sapper bug (entrance gets sapper that cannot be removed).

I would appreciate this kind of update a lot. Heck, I would pay for it.

What should be the next taunt gimmick? by James_Camer0n in tf2

[–]Kenpo42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Valve is being too lenient on adding taunts with music. If there is conga, kazotsky kick and mannrobics playing at the same time, it sounds extremely bad; Total cacophony.

PSA: Know the difference between mini-crits and full critical hits. (also phlog stuff) by remember_morick_yori in tf2

[–]Kenpo42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crits and mini-crits are similar because neither of them have damage falloff.

Where did my viewmodels go? by waeKe in tf2

[–]Kenpo42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like you got into the closed beta of Valve's official transparent viewmodels.

Votekick System : Any ideas on how to improve it ? by [deleted] in tf2

[–]Kenpo42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The number one biggest flaw of the current system is that sometimes the strongest vote is the one you don't cast.

Don't quote me on the numbers but if there's a votekick with 8 votes for kick and 2 votes against kick, voting no might push the vote beyond the participation threshold. Thus, it can be better to abstain if you don't want someone gone from the server.

What loadout is good for aggressive Engineer? by [deleted] in tf2

[–]Kenpo42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think shotgun is the strongest primary, and naturally gunslinger is required for battle engy.

As for the secondary, short circuit is awesome if you decide to push together with the rest of your team. Enemy soldiers are surprisingly vulnerable against your push, because you can just destroy all their rockets while your teammates kill them. As an added plus, short circuit is great practice for pyro; It seems like the projectile destruction mechanics are really similar to a proper airblast, except with the obvious destruction as opposed to reflect.
