First line says "explo capitus", and the second one says "barpo kabalto".

Heck yes. Then again, maybe not. I dunno.

But that update looks badass.

There'd be a ton of complaints if Valve took three months to begin the Halloween event.

Now if the wait was only two months, then we would be celebrating TF2's first and probably only Decemberween!

But since Valve tend to release TF2 updates at about the same time whenever they happen, I suspect it will be tomorrow for me if they're consistent on that. At around 1am.

I decided to come back to TF2, on a whim. In good time too, what with the Halloween event coming. And I find myself using more and more vanilla weapons - I switched to them as Demoman, Sniper and Heavy a while ago and never used any non-vanilla knife or cloak on the occassions that I play Spy, but now I'm considering doing so as Soldier.

Would anyone be interested in some stranges in exchange for the L4D Bundle? We can discuss details over Steam.

Stranges are not TF2 trading?

Wait, there is non-TF2 Steam trading?

All right, we need to team up to kill Merasmus. He's damn hard to kill, but it can be done easily if you team up. When you get a bomb over your head, take it to him, and then you're granted a bit of ubercharge.

The wheel of Fate is a fun addition.

I would very much like if we had a GitP group to beat him. I was just trying to kill him for hours. Over time, people on the server started to figure out what to do, but I got backstabbed right before he was killed and got no achievement. Most people left after we killed him, and we never succeeded again. I find it incredibly frustrating to have to coordinate who are frankly awful.

I'm not sure what implications it could have, but I could start a homeserver. What I mean by implications is:
1.- Ping. Would you guys joining my server slow us all?
2.- Distance. Would you guys be unable to join because of where you are (in comparison to where I am)?
3.- Merasmus appears only with a certain number of players. I don't know what number, but yeah. That means we need a minimum for that (which I don't know)

So... can anyone answer those questions for me, please?

Anyone think Merasmus is a tad too hard to kill? After an hour, everyone on both teams sort of figured out how to whale on him without getting hit by attacks from the other team, but we still couldn't get him. And that was on a server where everyone worked together.

Well, there's really only a few viable class/weapon combos. Most are just not good enough and are not even worth bothering with. My personal opinion is that huntsman sniper is the way to go. Headshots are easy to get and a fully charged headshot does him 1080 damage. If most people are doing that to him, he goes down.

Thanks.

Also, I love the new voice lines. The Demoman sometimes yells at Merasmus to return his eye.

Well, a lot of people were saying brass beast heavy, direct hit soldier or wrangler engie, but I tried them all and I really don't think they're nearly as good as huntsman. It's never bad to have a dispenser for more arrows though. The sentries make it really hard for the other team if the engie dies. Explosives have a similar problem of accidentally killing everyone.
