... you can help out alot just by healing everyone.

Alots don't need any help.

Spoiler: Alot sighting! (click to show/hide)

I dunno...he looks like he could use a friend.

Why did you link the Sniper video, the other two revamped classes are so much more amazing.

 Heavy is a fish salesman and Pyro is a vengeful clown.

I did link the Pyro FIREBAT video, if you look closely. I didn't link the other class videos done so far because they're not particularly well put together or interesting. SNIPER GUN, however, made me laugh.

Hell, they have a hockey player and a pirate. A goddamn pirate (No clue what classes though).

Also: The spy will be wearing a tophat.

When does this event end?  My brother hasn't even had a chance to play it and I want to know when it ends for him.

[Metalax]

it runs for 2 weeks, so around the 10th

That's good.  I should have some time then.

Apparently Monoculus has grown angry. Server has been updated for the latest patch.

How do these people keep getting in those tournaments with Valve and Yogcast? I'd like to sign the DFCT for one of these. And get destroyed....

Pretty much everyone there was internet famous or working for Valve.

But they also have a bunch with random people.

You could always hit up a few people in your local competitive scene and throw togeather a pubs vs pros/highlander match, it isnt that hard, you having 9 is the most difficult part of it, id say you would still have to know someone at valve or the like (or be known by, read: internet famous) to get invited to the valve tourneys

I'm not even bothering with gift hunting myself.

I'm not even bothering with gift hunting myself.

I did it last year, and it took hours for only 9 items. I regret doing so then, and with even more items and no achievement I haven't bothered either. I would like some of the sets, but with them limited to Halloween and full moons I can't justify buying them, trading for them or spending hours collecting pieces than even longer trying to trade them up to a full set.

Considering the problems with it last year I think it is the real failure of this event, monoculus and the underworld have issues (crits, uber and speed boost is a bit ridiculous, I don't think crits should anger monoculous, there's no incentive to help kill him or stop killing enemies if you have the achievements and are just looking for gifts) but they are completely new things, issues with them are forgiveable.

[Shadowlord]

I got all the masks and made the sackston hale mask last year, and I never use it because it looks like crap. Not to mention that I virtually never actually play TF2 anymore. So I saw no point in wasting hours on it this time (I did get the achievements and necrobombicon or whatever it is, but the explosion doesn't even hurt enemies, so it's useless).

I know what you mean. Played for 10+ hours, only got one goddamn present, the stupid leg wraps for the scout. I also bought two of the items for the Sniper, because I got the third from the cauldron and I had enough money left over from when I got a paid account.

Yeah. You know what would have been really nice? Say you already have the bombnomicon and you reach it again in the underworld. Instead of getting another bombnomicon (or whatever), if you got one of the holloween items instead or at least a chance to get one. That way you have an incentive to kill monoculus (for loot), but you still have to invest time into it (which is what Valve seems to want). After all, you'll have to particpate in the event for at least 5 hours to get all the items. 3 items * 9 classes = 27 items + 1 bombnomicon = 28 items * ~10 minutes for monoculus to spawn/die = 280 minutes which is 20 minutes shy of five hours. Obviously those (rough) calculations assume that you acquire no items through trading, that you acquire an item each time, that everybody wants to kill monoculus, that you find no presents and that you recieve no duplicates. Overall the above solution more fair than the current situation for players who don't have the time to acquire the items, or can't organize a private server with friends to farm items, or just aren't plain lucky.
