Dizzle229 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I used to get 1 MB/s, but then my dad got some guy to rewire it, now its more like 60-300 KB/s <_< Get back here so I can rub your butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThurinEthir Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 It's passable. Probably a bit slower than today's average, but yea, I used to have like 30 kb/s. (Now I max a bit above 1 mb/s)As for what class is best for beginner's - I'd say medic. Makes you more useful than if you played pyro (I usually see too many pyros and too few medics), although you don't really get to experience fighting. The best thing to do is to try every class - which I really should get around to doing. Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.

aspokaspofkjsopfkapo Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Don't pay attention to anyone telling you what class to play. Try out all of the classes and play the one that seems the most fun to you, if you get bored of it or see that another class has a cool ability, switch to it. No class is "better" or easier than another, it's all a matter of personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Keep in mind that items you get are unlocks, and NOT upgrades for the most part. They are sidegrades, usually letting you play another playstyle. I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight. I think I will settle for cereal. OPEN WIDE HERE COMES THE HELICOPTER.

Lenin64 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Are there still issues with the unlock system? I haven't found but one item since the update, and that was the day after, and yesterday I got soldier milestone 1 and got nothing. Then today it told me I found the equalizer, but I only had the equalizer I had already found (the aforementioned single item). Command the Murderous Chalices!

Orpheus Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I think they fixed the milestones. And they ran a script that gives everyone their missing items.

Dizzle229 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Just had an epic run as engi. 9 dominations, 83 kills, 1010 healing, 6 tele's, and no idea how many assists in one life. The attackers were Blitzkrieging the first part of Gold Rush, and they were about to win when I set up in the on the top floor of the house next to the first cap point. They couldn't get back to the cart! I finally died when a pyro found a way to get to me, but some soldiers that came through my tele kept the sentry safe until I could tele back. I got 5 more kills before the round ended. Total for the game. (I only played one round before that. All but one of the deaths was before the engi run.) Get back here so I can rub your butt.

Giordano Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Wow, beats my engie's best. But I don't like engie. >_> I killed as Scout-Heavy last night in Well and then in Dustbowl, 1st round as RED. 1 Heavy and 1 Medic were enough to push the entire BLU team from Point A to their spawn and hold them there for a couple of minutes. They had no balls whatsoever. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarg1010 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 So, how do you get these hats/items? Just random drops in-game? If so, what do they look like :???: Unfinished netherrack symbol of Khorne. Never forget. ~creeper face w/single tear~ DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?!?!

Poppet Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 So, how do you get these hats/items? Just random drops in-game? If so, what do they look like :???: Item Drop checks are done every 25 Minutes sometimes resulting in an item. (This also applies to the Camera Beard Hat)Hat Drop checks are done every 4 Hours 17 Minutes or so sometimes resulting in a Hat. When you obtain one you can wear (Hats) and/or use (Items).

I don't quite get it :mellow: Every so often the chatbox area will say "[player] has found [item]" and if it's you it points out, the item is automatically added to your loadout.

The cloak and dagger allows you to take your time. The only advantage I've seen with the regular watch is that it encourages you to move quickly. Get back here so I can rub your butt.

The cloak and dagger allows you to take your time. The only advantage I've seen with the regular watch is that it encourages you to move quickly. On nearly every map there's more than enough metal to make it from your spawn to their spawn without decloaking once, so if you know where the metal is that shouldn't be a problem. Also i do notice the c & d does encourage you to slow down, which isn't really a good thing because as a spy you should move around quickly so they don't know where you are.

Dizzle229 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I mainly prefer the cloak and dagger because you can stay out of sight for longer, which allows you to choose where you decloak. Alot of the time with the watch I have to make an emergency decloak RIGHT BEHIND THEM. It's pretty exciting, but I haven't had as much success with it. Get back here so I can rub your butt.

Giordano Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I preferred the normal watch because, to be a successful spy you gotta be a fast spy. But the Cloak n' Dagger's good for ambushes though, for Defense, no doubt about that. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

Spy is probably the weakest class in the game, if your playing with good people then you'd be lucky to get more than a couple backstabs in a game. The uncloaking sound can be heard through walls and from a long distance away and if you uncloak behind someone they're guarantied to turn around. *note: only applies to decent players(which excludes most tf2 players) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CnD is hilarious though for causing paranoia since a spy is nearby and they could pounce at any time. I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight. I think I will settle for cereal.
