Kilts you say?

Edit: Reading is hard. Though kilts would be badass, @Bobbydigi I know you have Gaben on speed dial, give him a ring.

PirateNinja

ready when you are oh captain my captain. Just give me like 5 minutes to get in before the ship is full :P

BobbyDigi

OMG. Want. So in as soon as this drops.

A NEW MVM MAP. A NEW MVM MAP

This is just what TF2 needs to bring back some players. The community is declining pretty badly.

All money your team collects on the battlefield now counts toward unlocking a full Refund. Whether you're succeeding at each wave or not, once per mission you'll earn enough that the entire team can Refund all money spent on Upgrades (not consumables). Cash in hand, you can switch classes to try different strategies, or optimize Upgrades on your current class. Victory is Guaranteed!*
*does not constitute a guarantee of victory

with Primescout this is gonna be useful...

trooster89

Omg Omg! I can't wait to try it out!

Bandrik

So CLEARLY this entire second half of the update was designed to make Medic useful in MvM. I am excite! DAT SHIELD

BobbyDigi

Shall we then?

Koreish

whoa whoa whoa medic is useful now? Greatest day evar.

Koreish

Oh god, the changes to medic are so good. I you can body block small robutts with the force shield, Canteen's have added duration and reduced cost, the ability to revive dead teammates is awesome (I want to experiment with the quick-fix on this), using an Uber automatically fills the shield so you can spam them once your uber rate is up. Medic boner.

Koreish

Well they actually just changed most of that. But, the medic changes are still pretty good. The ability to revive teammates is astounding, and I can still block projectiles with the shield. The medics regen gets so high I can take a single pyros flame without worry, and that was before flame resists too.

Syringe gun can apply Mad Milk without the slow which is meh. I think it was broken since I didn't notice any additional healing to myself or others.

midga

Boner.

I feel like the bad guys In Indiana Jones. I should probably look away, but I just can't.

We play MvM on Valve official servers 99% of the time. It's referred to as Mann Up mode and requires a ticket. Tickets costs 99 cents in the Mann Co store or can be traded for. The server is assigned through the In-game coordinator so it is different every game.

2. ANYONE UP FOR KICKIN SOME ROBUT TONIGHT!

Yup.

My friends hate it when I play MvM, whether they want me to be playing something with them or not. Looks like they'll just have to deal with it now.

BobbyDigi

I'm learning what I can about all this new stuff. I think user Feltorn on the Steam forums sums it up pretty well:

To the best of my understanding, anyway.

At the end of a successful Two Cities MvM campaign, you will receive a random Killstreak Fabricator Kit.

There are three kinds of kits, standard ones, which look something like this.

"Specialised" Killstreak kits, which look like this.

UPDATE: And professional ones, which look like this.

Both of these kits can be assigned to any quality of weapon: Strange, Vintage, Collectors, Genuine, whatever. However, the standard ones can be assigned as-is to their specific weapon, no crafting required. Specialised ones, on the other hand, require you to craft the item in question - using another Killstreak item.

And on top of that, in order to craft a "Professional" Killstreak weapon, you need to include a Specialised one.

Standard Killstreak items don't have any special qualities apart from the fact they count Killstreaks.

But Specailised and above ones... They get the visual effects.

That's how they work, as far as I know.

Some more specific info regarding trades and upgrades.

You can also use the Killstreak Weapon in ANY Fabrication kit. it is not limited to the original weapon used.

So maybe that means you can change the weapon using the upgrade kits. Interesting.

Koreish

Alright I only have one map left from the update and I want to finish it so that I can get shiny weapons of great justice. Anyone feel like playing tonight around 9-930 CST?

You have my flame.

trooster89

And my Bullets!

Also we should probablly stick to this thread for planning before it gets all confusing.

Golden Pan just sold for $5500 cash.

That is insane. I could see a MMORPG character account going to sale for $5500 (not really) because of all the time put into it, but for a random drop on a cosmetic item? That's just ludicrous.

If you guys are up for another run tonight, I'll be in around 9:30 EST
