[Strange guy]

The polycount hat recipes were Valves chance to make up for the pay/get lucky to win that the set bonuses, especially the scouts (the sniper bonus is nice, but the Sydney Sleeper has been nerfed to uselessness), created. And they failed utterly. I've only crafted 1 hat in all my TF2 playing time, and that only required 3 refined and nothing else. It'll be a long time before I get any of them.

Edit: As of now I am a pots and pan soldier. While a Vintage Whoopee Cap is probably worth more than a regular stainless pot and I'm basically now incapable of using the equilizer since it's a less awesome combo I'm still happy with it because it's awesome.

Meh, I don't have a problem with the blueprints for set hats. My main problem with them is that these hats are the only ones that can even potentially get you any bonuses. I'd prefer it if all hats had their own sets and bonuses now that trading has been implemented, but there would need to be more weapons for that to be a viable thing to happen, and I doubt Valve wants to have another large influx of weapons like this any time soon.

I've only crafted 1 hat in all my TF2 playing time, and that only required 3 refined and nothing else.

But that's for a random hat for any class.

...IDE/THEORY: Valve implements a "random set hat" blueprint. Uses 2 refined and any 2 Polycount pack weapons.
ALTERNATIVE: Implement a "recraft into set hat" blueprint. Uses 1 hat and 1 Polycount pack weapon from the pack you want the hat for.

Engies are ridiculous. I just got steamrolled by a team of six engineers that just moved their sentries from point to point to point. Gottamoove that gear up, indeed.

 

That's why you kill them while they're moving their sentries.

[ToonyMan]

Yeah, I've seen so many engys die in arena because they thought it would be a good idea to move their sentry up.

Being an engineer with a level 3 sentry on you is a death sentence, be careful Star Fox.

Not if they leapfrog them.

Perhaps sniping would be in order then?

The problem with TF2 is that for a game called TEAM Fortress, there's very little teamwork going on outside of the really good clan servers. So naturally, if someone decides to come up with an actual strategy involving teamwork and flaw exploitation instead of just fling meat at the enemy forever, they're going to beat the opposing team handily.

[umiman]

What the person above me said.

Also, ubers.

[Pandarsenic]

Ubers rarely happen in arena.

As for sniping: A good engie leapfrog involves Wranglerness.

[ToonyMan]

Arena is my favorite game mode.  :3

So they'll be standing still.

I just started again after being gone for many months.

I'll never be able to collect all that items...

Oh well, have fun with the ones you do get. And in any case, I've seem some moguls who've managed to turn like 3 hats into 30. From there just trade the hats for weapons and you're set. Sure, it's a waste of time, but if you find it fun, you find it fun.

Yes, behind the shield. It isn't that difficult to do, especially since it snaps to targets.

[Puck]

Teamwork is definitely sorely missed sometimes.

Yeah, you'd expect people to actually notice that word in the title, but it still doesnt help all that much...

[Sensei]

I've completely changed stalemates before by just going medic and getting an uber while standing in the spawn, then running out to where stuff needs doing.
