I feel supremely cheated right now
Don't really care much for the game anymore. Stopped trading years ago and I play it once a month, if that. lol keys are now worth 16 ref, that's ridiculous. Are hats still 1.3 ref? Or is it all a rich mans game now or something?
Anyway, where can I sell bp for paypal cash?
>>121537791
i'd buy some keys for paypal
>>121537791
Garbage hats are still 1 ref each. Also, try behind the alley at your local walmart.
>>121537791
I'd post a link to my bp but the fucking system thinks its spam
probably cause all the numgers in the url
>>121537847
only have one key
>>121538262
the safest way is:
trade as much as you can for keys/ref
sell keys/ref
much, much easier to sell keys than a backpack of mixed junk
>>121538464
ugh, that's gonna take a while
I might just keep all the trash if that's the case. The prices on backpack.tf are all reputable, right.
>>121538006

you don't have a lot of worth man, you'd get like 40 bucks at the most

they're just extremely difficult and unfun to play against
Just shoot them, faggot.
>>121539554
40 sounds fair
it says 73 but I dont expect to get 73. If I gotta sell and all of that jazz then I'll just keep the damn thing.
stock demomen have an unfair disadvantage against demoknights ironically enough
Use your melee.
good idea
melee fight against the guy who gets free melee crits and a longer range just because
Why aren't you using the axe?
i always liked the bottle more
also youre still leaving it up to random crits and source's shitty melee hitreg in the end
Axe is best. It has the fucked melee range AND random crits. It's a win win.
Well you could always try relying on your pills or stickies, but I find melee works the best because they don't expect it.
>>121540147
the long range melee weapons don't crit, other than that axe nobody uses and the soldier's whip.
Stock, Pain Train and katana all random crit as demo though.
we were talking about demoknights
i love to wear the targe
I thought we were talking about demo vs demoknight.
skullcutter has random crits too

Shields are in this dumb position where they're not worth swapping stickies for but are dumbly good in pubs
Only slightly viable shield is tide turner, and that's a gimmick of its own that gets called out after the initial suprise factor
But because pubs have little to no coordination, Shields are all OP as fuck as it requires focusing to take them down.

It's ok, but the garb looks a little out of place.

I'd leave it as it is, but if you insist on using all the slots, I'd recommend a scarf or shoes.

Badges look good on soldier especially.Otherwise you really only got one noticeable cosmetic on, and it's a quality one.
>>121546686
I like the stealthy scarf, but it clips pretty horribly with concierge. Merc's Muffler just doesn't look right on spy. I guess I can try for shoes.

>Just remove the resistances.
as a pyro this is so annoying
the no after burn affect shuts down an entire class against the demo
the only way the pyro can kill the demo is close quarters at that point and if its a demo knight then the demo knight can simply win by charging at me since im in close range or he could just 1 shot pill me since I have to be right up in his face
its not like jarate or milk where its a 1 time recharge but its passive bonus

WHOOO EESS N-NOT READDYYYY
>>121547350
BECAUSE
pyros shouldn't be able to airblast players at all
>>121547825
yeah shotgun works great on a demo with 200+ health fucking idiot and they can't just use their unlimited charges to run out of range of it
>>121548285
are you being retarded on purpose
>>121548285
Airblast stops their momentum and lines them up for ez shots. If you can't deal with a demoknight as a pyro, then I feel sorry for you.
>>121547189
>as a pyro
How to fix Demoknight:
You get two charges at the start of your life
Melee and shield kills while charging give you one charge
Using a charge without killing anyone will deplete a charge
You can get your charges back by resupplying
why is the scout first jump so glitched when you jump?
swear to god i cant double jump somteimes
>>121548848
You're probably trying to jump as you fall off a ledge, so it uses your double jump instead.
>>121547825

>>121549562
>>121549598
>>121549617
stop being bad at the game
pyro are only good at close quarters and if you let 1 flank its your teams fault for letting him through
other than that a pyro is easy to kill before he even get near you, the only defense he has is to perfectly time a deflection which never works on pubs.as a demoI've never had any problems with pyros
i know this is probably a longshot, but does anyone know of a jacket irl that looks atleast somewhat like the scouts flapjack?
>>121549935
No one said pyro was good, they're saying that it's annoying to play against. There's a difference.
>>121549935
Can you not read? We're saying it's fucking annoying to play against someone who can hit you once and drain your health. It's infuriating to come off worse in a fight with a different class just because you were set on fire moments ago.
>>121549045
>i can't counter every single enemy in the game
let's nerf the scout because he counters demoman
>>121549302
no one else is having this problem so it's most likely on your end
>>121549305
the class is really badly designed
no range, no damage, no mobility
is the only class that cannot perform well without the use of unlocks
airblast is terribly broken and is only acceptable because pyro is such a shit class
to top it off pyro is "cute" and tends to attract girl gamers, furries, weebs, traps, and other degenerates that no one likes dealing with
no one with half a brain believes the class is overpowered but it's extremely bad game design
you could remove pyro from tf2 without any negative consequence

Shotty is a really good weapon
But hey, guess what, Reserve shooter exists
>>121550261
this kid is pissed
I love my stock shotty.
>>121550261
forfeiting the range and damage that the flare gun provides is not worth scoring hipster points
it also has a passive reload
the damage deduction on the degreaser is negligible and there's literally no reason to choose stock over it because it allows you to set an enemy on fire, airblast them, and quickly continue dealing damage
the shotgun is a great weapon but you're dumb if you think that it's better in every situation
>as a pyro
>>121550067
>you could remove pyro from tf2 without any negative consequence
uhh spies?

>>121550872
you mean dead ringer spies
pyro isnt even essential against regular spies lmfao
>>121550872
maybe in pubs, but anywhere with coordination would not notice a difference
just be aware, same as always
it's not like scout and soldier can't spycheck effectively and it's not like spy is a good class to begin with
>>121550979
yes we have already established that pyro is badly designed
the argument was that shotgun is better than the flare gun and i am saying that that is not the case

>Make pyro less annoying terrible and half assed without removing it
-Afterburn tick damage and time halfed when crouching
-Base movement speed increased 3% so you can flank as a flank class
-Airblast applies basic push force instead of always an upward one.
-Airblasted gamers can air strafe easier out of airblast
-Non-Ubered players take 50% of the airblast force if still in the air from the previous airblast so they can escape juggles
-Friendly pyros get a little pop up like medics do on patients to alert them that they are on fire and need to be put out
-Can now equip pain train
-Degreaser Now has 50% decreased afterburn time and Damage penalty bumped up to 20%
-Flame particles actually follow hitboxes so you are aware of the range instead of a general cone so less of the across the map and I'm on fire BS
-Scorch shot afterburn time scales with distance, More up close, very little from far away
-Detonator gives much increased blast height and self damage decreased to pre gun mettle
-Phlog now takes 500 damage to fill mmph bar from 220 and only takes 50% of the fire damage from secondaries for the bar. Resistances now properly apply so no free mmph from dead ringer spies or shield demos.
-Backburner has radius increased from 90 degrees to 120 degrees for crit zone
-Putting out a teammate restore 10 ammo
-Reserve shitter split so it can be balanced for each class instead of being mediocre for one and OP for another
-Insert sensible reserve shooter balance here that you agree with
-Back scratcher healing debuff doesn't apply to overheal so you can at least buff them

No, denying ubers is really the pyro's only redeeming quality in comp.

Yes.
>Can now equip pain train
Was originally meant for pyro anyways, but don't think it needs more melees
>Degreaser Now has 50% decreased afterburn time and Damage penalty bumped up to 20%
All that needs to be changed is the damage penalty to -30% so it rounds up to 5 damage/particle instead of 7 damage/particle

No.

If they originally meant for it to have pain train, and didn't, don't you think there was a reason? Hitscan is already a big weakness for pyros.

Just fucking remove it from pyro, fuck this weapon in the ass. Make it synergize better with the Liberty Launcher, give it more pushback force or something to launch people in the air better.

shut up retard
>>121552340
how do people still believe this in 2015
>>121553676
can you not do this
refer to the chart in >>121550639
just because you can outdamage retards in a pub does not make stock pyro viable whatsoever
>select all candy
fruit is not candy
ever notice how we dont argue about any of the other 8 classes? thats because they are not broken
i would rather take on 9 beggars or 9 mini engies than ONE pyro
>>121554213
that is NOT what i said
>>121554258
yeah same
no other class can shit up the game by doing so little
>>121554231
pyro has 3 jobs
Check for spies
Protect med and engie/homewreck sappers
Air blast uber charge/projectiles away from team
thats it, pyro isnt scout, pyro isnt demo, pyro isnt heavy or engie, pyro isnt sniper, pyro isnt solly
you are not a damage class you are support. a Cukc if you will. That is all anything else is pure autistm

om g new video lokk at this video omg
can someone ask the guys at steam to collapse the collection lists
im trying to check people's item showcases and all i get is a long ass list
sometimes i can't even see the fucking weapon icon

Oh, my bad.
Still a bad idea though, just because you're already technically nerfing it by changing it to basic push force.
New sniper rifle
>+133% charge speed
>Mini-crits while fully charged
>-10% damage on bodyshot
>-Points a laser in the direction you're aiming while charging
>-can only charge shots while your crosshair is on an enemy
Fires like the classic (press M1 to charge, release M1 to shoot)
Laser changes opacity to show charge (100% charged = Fully visible)
Just got back into the game, which case is the most value to open? From what I hear the Gargoyle is alright
>>121553994
>>Detonator gives much increased blast height and self damage decreased to pre gun mettle
>No.
Why not?
If anything, pyro needs more mobility.

you can do all of that with the degreaser, but better
>>121554497
couldn't you could just hide the laser on a wall/nearby prop?
>>121554614
More than what he already has, dipshit.
>>121554668
degreaser is a crutch
>>121554702
degreaser is the only reason pyro is viable
>>121554702
When it comes to comparing flamethrowers, Degreaser is like Jag: There's just no reason not to use it until they nerf it.
>>121554825
see >>121554702
its all sugar pill
degreaser gives nothing extra that stock cant do
>but muh .0000000001 weapon change speed
>>121554884
>using the jag
>not using the Southern
Its literally the least shitter wrench in tf2
>no random crits
no bullshit

Nice
>Only the first shot in the Reserve Shooter's clip mini-crits airborne enemies
there we go
Would it be better if, on the class selection screen, demo was changed to offensive, sniper was changed to defensive and pyro was changed to support?
Pyro is a supportkek, delegated to lowly spychecking, reflecting and extinguishing. We all pretty much get this by now.
Obviously demo is both an offensive and defensive class but he's mostly used to deal damage, so offense might suit him better.
Sniper is more defensive rather than support imo. The mere presence of a sniper can shut down an entire area for a team, especially in competitive. Also him being a defensive class instead of support will hopefully see him used less on attack.
only team colors should exist

>-Reserve shooter removed from the pyro, now only a soldier weapon
there we go
>>121555092
literally changes nothing considering you can still swap back and forth in rapid succession with the degreaser.
>>121554702
>>121554928
you are not using the term crutch correctly
the black box is a crutch but it is still allowed in competitive and most skilled soldiers do not use it
you are arguing that the pyro only needs stock + homewrecker, but degreaser is better than stock 100% of the time because the damage reduction is not enough to seriously consider using stock
go play pyro in highlander and use the stock flamthrower if it's so much better than the degreaser
powerjack > homewrecker btw, if the engie can't remove the sapper himself chances are that the nest is going down
