Well, Trixie, you also have to take into accout that I'm practically vanilla with all classes.

A small warning though that i forgot to mention about the portal 2 coupon - it expires by September 14th, so if that's going to be a problem for you i can only say I'm sorry to have gotten your hopes up. :smallfrown:
If you still want it(assuming you ever wanted it) or any of my other offered items. Feel free to add me on steam, (Unless you just wanted the steam key for ruler designer, i could tell you that via PM now if that's what you wanted.)
My steam name is Alienstickmen - if that doesn't work it may also be under alienfire1 - if that fails then I'll have to either PM you my email or add you instead.

If you like customization options and important weapons for a class, then it's good for impatient types.

Still not worth it. If there's a weapon you want, I probably have a dupe of it, or could acquire any weapon in the game for little to no effort. :smalltongue:

Re: [Steam]-y Thread XXX: Throwing titles out the window!
Honestly, vanilla is probably best to start off with. None of the weapons (except for Medic melee weapons) are straight upgrades to the stock weapons.

Eeeeeven then most of them aren't. The ubersaw is likely the only one that is, and even then the bonesaw has it's place. I still run with the needlegun rather than bluts in most cases (:
I would say the degreaser/axetinguisher combo is a straight upgrade though, purely because of sheer damage output possible with it.

the best upgrade a medic can get is a strange variety of his vanilla weapons. Though Kritz is really important in MvM.
As for degreaser/axetinguisher, I haven't done the numbers. Are you sure that a backburner from the back isn't more dps? Especially on a group of people? Pyros live much longer sneaking up behind anyway.

Neither of those are "straight upgrade." A straight upgrade has an improvement without any sort of disadvantage to offset it. The two examples I can think of (although I know there are a few more) are the Amputator and the Third Degree.
The amputator has the exact same stats as the standard bonesaw, with the addition of a taunt that can heal multiple allies at once. The Third Degree has the same stats as the Fire Axe, but damages any medic healing your target.
Interestingly enough, neither of the "straight upgrades" are frequently used. The Amputator taunt is so situational and makes you so vulnerable that there's almost never any point to using it instead of the ubersaw or the vita-saw. The only conceivable reason for using it is the healing regen you get as part of its set, not because the taunt itself is particularly useful.
With the Third Degree, you're better off with the degreaser/axetinguisher combo in nearly every case due to the vastly increased damage potential. However, neither the axetinguisher nor the degreaser can properly be called "straight upgrades" even though they're used by almost all players almost all of the time. The degreaser has a reduction in afterburn damage, and the axetinguisher deals no random crits or something trivial like that.
With very few exceptions, the vanilla weapons will provide you with the best results in the most likely situations. They also generally have higher skill ceilings, a plus if you intend to get into competitive play or even if you just want to get better.

Impatient. But, they have no resale value and for what it's worth you can crab much better hat and will have leftovers spare for several weapons.

You do understand he's only just started, doesn't understand the value of anything, and shouldn't start trading until he's at least somewhat informed of how the game operates?

All valid points, but I consider straight upgrades to be such in the case that they're more useful then their vanilla counterparts. The degreaser/axetinguisher combo can still be used in the same fashion as the flamethrower/axe combo with slightly less damage, but the other situational (and more often than not you're in those situations) advantages make up for it.
Much like the ubersaw being slower than the bonesaw, but the fact that you gain uber on hit makes it more valuable as you get more uber from spies (quite frequently) and more shenanigans can be had it with.
I count them as straight upgrades because of those reasons, rather than saying that they have to be the same but better. They're different but much better imo :P

Exactly. There are some items you're going to use as sidegrades, though the vanilla will always be standard (i.e., the minigun and scattergun). Then there are some weapons that are absolutely necessary to the class (like the Sandvich or Equalizer, which improve survivability for little tradeoff). The purely situational stuff (such as the Phlogistinator or Scottish Resistance) is helpful, but not alway needed.

Fists are a corner case because of the increased weapon switch time and the massive melee vulnerability while active. Due to how long it would take the Heavy to whip out and spin up the Minigun, he's likely in transit, which means that if you've got line of sight, you're probably gunning for the Medic, and the Heavy is a sitting duck shortly thereafter (60% of 518 is 408, which he'll drop to before you get your charge back up). If the Medic is pocketing a Steel Heavy during a firefight... the Heavy's not going to be at full Overheal, and depending on what he's fighting may not last very long anyway.

Backburner crits are the highest sustained DPS a Pyro can get, but the Degreaser/Axetinguisher combo will finish off most single opponents almost immediately, so the difference mostly comes in when you have multiple enemies' backs to your nozzle.

Oh yeah, I just sort of discount backburner because I rely on airblast way too much to have the increased cost in my setup.
I suppose that one relies on how you play the pyro, but I'd still call both a straight upgrade to the flamethrower. Just depends on your playstyle as to which you use.

I do. But I was 'just starting' not that long ago, too, and I remember my own relief that I did not bought starter pack, but something else, once I learned how things work and what is everything worth. It's all.
Plus, second factor, let's just say some players have... Less than stellar reactions to certain hats, including Gibus and most of these in starter packs. Thankfully, I see them less and less, but there is no point in making gaming experience worse even by small amount, is there? :smallconfused:

Mmmph doesn't boost it, but it's also direction-independent, unlike the backburner's 70' activation arc.
To put it in perspective: I did this with the phlogistinator, and I have never been able to come near it with the backburner:
For the sake of argument, however, these two are degreaser/flare/axtinguisher:

Pocket medics annoy me.
I have no issue with someone who is playing medic having a specific medic buddy they like to rely on. That's cool. But playing pocket medic, ala, healing ONLY one person without healing anyone else is /really/ annoying.
Basically, my opinion is: there shouldn't be a pocket medic, there should be a pocket soldier (or demo, or heavy, although I'm not too fond of the heavy for that role): you stick around with the medic, taking the heals when there's no-one else for the medic to heal, and protect him from sneak attacks from scouts, rocket jumping soldiers, and obvious spies.

Wait, what?
Damn. I really haven't been keeping track so well this season. I did wonder about Clockwork still being on LG since he said towards the end of last season he was going to switch to another team, but I figured he'd changed his mind.
Yeah, I'd imagine this'll put Spacewhales in serious contention for 2nd and make LG less dominant over the lesser teams (Mix^ will still destroy everyone).

Re: [Steam]-y Thread XXX: Throwing titles out the window!
So I spent a hour rating games in greenlight I did not put all the ones I voted yes because I didn't want to make this post longer, but rather ones I think should get a bit more attention.
Spoiler
Show
Miner Wars 2081:Modern day Descent, need I say more?
AirBuccaneers:Flying pirates. Ok, I am willing to give them an up vote.
Forge: FPS MMO game that says there is no leveling, no grind. Interesting.
Unepic: a combination of platforming and role playing games that has a full character sheet, a decent amount of weapons with a few spells. Interesting. Also it says its funny.
Elsword: F2P online action RPG game that looks pretty cool. It has a managa style that they promote.
Nightclub Imperium: You are a manager of a night club, get rich. Build more night clubs, get richer, build across Europe and get even richer. Mirco management is going to be needed. You can control what kind of clubs from bars, strip clubs, etc.
Tactile: A hacker simulation game. It says it has a "extremely long single-player campaign" plus multi-player. Good enough for an up vote by me. It doesn't have a lot to show though.
Towns: City manager plus RPG elements. you build the town that supports heros who go down to the dungeon. Interesting concept.
Organ Trail: Director's Cut: The orginal game plus Zombies.
Cry of Fear: A free HF1 mod that does more then just a mod. They claim they don't use any HF1 assests. Its a survial horror game.
Blockscape: An advance version of minecraft in the sense that it has a wide verity of different kinds of blocks.
Interstellar Marines: Fps game set in a (they used the adjective as believable) futurist setting. I honestly voted for it becuase it looks good, graphics. Gameplay there was not enough for me to judge.
I didn't include Black Masa, but if you have not voted for it already, go and do it.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread XXX: Throwing titles out the window!
Yeah.
I mean, b4nny is utterly amazing, no-one can deny that. But he can't carry an entire 6v6 team, especially when they have tyrone on pocket, considering that he can't DM for nickels, at least at an invite level. The real frag power of the team was in the scouts, and while cyzer is an awesome scout, the loss of clockwork really hurts.
A lot of people are saying that LG will probably fold from this- I don't think tyrone is going to want to play against clockwork which will effect him psychologically which will /really/ mess up his playing. Even more so.
Of course, now I'm imagining Mix^ taking on b4nny as demo and replacing Harbleu with Platinum on roamer.

Mighty Ducks split up too, which is sad. Looks like Decimate might move over to LG to replace Clockwork, we'll see what happens with the rest of the team. Tyrone said there wasn't much bad blood against Clockwork, and Tyrone seemed remarkably calm about it all so that is a plus. I really do hope they stick together. They won LAN before Clockwork joined (I believe) so it should be possible for them to stay around for a while.
It would really suck if b4nny went to Mix^. I like Mix^, I don't have a huge problem with them, but I do want to see competitive matches this year. The reason I'm not so worried is because Platinum will never play roamer, Harbleu is far better at roamer than Plat. And Plat said he'd never play roamer.
What I'd really like to see is some invite team centered around Powah. I know No Need for Names has been crushing all opposition on maps based around sniping (watch their demos on Viaduct), and Powah is just amazing good at this game. He also is friendly with most of the players in invite and isn't as polarizing as Harbleu, so I think if he wanted he could pull an amazing team together. Could it match Mix^? No, but it'd be fun to watch.
I don't know how heavily impacted LG will be by the roster change, but I am liking how close the competition for the last few LAN seeds are. nNn, Going Heavy, Chess Club, and the Spacewhales all have incredibly similar records. I'm pretty sure Spacewhales will take one of the LAN spots, but the last one really is up for grabs.
Finally, if yz50 returns to his former level of play, there will be some amazing scout frag videos from Spacewhales. The clockwork/yz50 combo is the only scout combo I can see beating Ruwin/Enigma, so this should be a lot of fun. I wonder, though, how yz50 and Clockwork will perform together. Both of them are known for their insanely aggressive play, and Spacewhales' main weakness is their pocket soldier. Although if Clockwork and yz50 just wipe the entire enemy team, I suppose they won't have to worry about protecting the medic.
