  • Some guy complains about the crap crafting than can be created in TF2. Clearly, a small central category of characters will care about this century-old concept.

    Having to manually add 200 weapons when creating a collector's item is one of the most agonizing thing one can do in a video game

      once i had a random drop give me a collector's scorch shot kit, it was waaaaaay before the big trading sites became so popular that you can gat that 200 weapons in 3 clicks, so it was a feat getting that 200 scorch shots in the first place. I did it then spent weeks trying to find a buyer, damn it was a relief when i got rid of it at a decent price.

To not screw out the ones who still have theirs from the original moment, they can have it upgraded to not only Strange (if they aren't already), but also Genuine or Vintage, or even Ancient, especially if it comes with a new Crafting Update like the Mann-conomy Update adding Vintage.

    I think the next logical step to take here is the Killstreak Kits. By playing a specific game mode, on a specific couple of maps, and complete 4 rounds on that map, you get items that allow you to track your kills per life, as well as Fabricators that require the odd Robot Parts and a Killstreak item to give your Killstreak a shiny ripple effect over the weapon, or have your eyes bleed out the same color as an effect.
    Some kits, even the basic tier ones, go for a fair bit of money thanks to demand, even some fabricators, while most fabricators are only worth 3¢ because you have to put forth the effort. And there are even weapons out there that don’t have Killstreak Kits, the biggest example being the Crossing Guard, which, while having a strange variant, does not have its own Killstreak Kit. The only way to get one is to pay hundreds of dollars for one, by getting a glitched universal kit.

      I had a similar experience with being a newbie TF2 in recent times. I was ready to go in a game and to enjoy the chaotic team fun that I've heard so much about, only to be disappointed by having half of my expected experience cut through being stuck with stock weapons and F2P communication limitations. It was weird not being able to pass a sandwich to a teammate or call "MEDIC", things that were iconic and what I was hoping for.
      Trying to get out of this newbie limbo is needlessly complicated. I was relying on the unfinished ingame tutorials and the unrealistic CPU training to integrate myself fully into the game, which did basically nothing in the face of complex valve jankiness. The worst part is the items. Mannco store is basically a scam, but with being new to the game, it really seems like the only option. I almost paid a full dollar for BONK. The class crates that give you all of their respective weapons costs over TWENTY dollars. Just to have all the weapons for ONE class.

    So story time
    When I first started out tf2, I was pretty damn dumb, but I wanted to get myself a cool looking hat or cosmetic
    That's when I found out about the crafting system of tf2, and was shocked by the fact that I have to smelt a crap ton of weapons to make scrap. I thought to myself "that's easy, I get a random free weapon in some games and I like using 2 classes." And boy I was so wrong because I didn't know how the drop system works. After months of playing games to get randomly dropped weapons and then smelt them to scrap, I finally had 3 reclaimed metal and was about to craft myself a hat. Then, at that moment, I found out that f2p players like me can't craft hats.
    Afterwords I got pissed and then just crafted a bunch of different weapons using the remaining scrap and other weapons available to me.

    I had once an Idea for an update (named " The New Mann update") where it would refine most of mechanics of the game. One of those would be weekly contracts. It would give objective to the player every week and completing it would give a item depending on the contract difficulty and rarity. One of the examples would be to send said amount of scrap, refined or reclaimed metal. It would give mostly descent loot.
    Would it fix the many of problems for the crafting system? No, but it would at least give purpose to crafting and the to dust covered metal siting in the inventory of traders hoping the value of them would become better.

    worth noting the token smelting giving a reclaimed is probably because in the past you needed three weapons to make a single scrap.

    Agree with all of this.
    I also wish achievement items were completely uncraftable, and were treated similar to stock items (i.e. don't take up backpack space), because I'm sick of selecting them in the scrap menu :P

    since I don't ever trade if I have a bunch of metal I will probably just craft hats and I usually have hats that I don't ever wear so sometimes I just rebuild the hat to see if I would wear the new hat

  • @anthonyoliver418
    @anthonyoliver418 Před rokem +1

    I really do they it is at least good that set hats can be guaranteed if you use 4 ref and an weapon from that set, I just wish they brought back the unique stats but this time giving them all downsides, along with maybe insuring that if there is more than 1 hat in the set, you get the one you have the least of, also I don’t know what happens if you use a weapon from the clinical trial in the recipe because it doesn’t have an hat.

    They might never have finished the crafting system.
    Something like a 1/1000 chance to get a strange version of the weapon, or [something you already said in the video], although on most weapons after what i calculated a 1/100 would be enough, since there are stranges like the Kritzkrieg Wich go for like 60 keys, but others like red tape Wich are only a few refined.

      @@anaveragefern yeah with all of those animations, sounds, numbers, ragdolls, gibs, but only aesthetically. shooting itself is boring they don't do anything out of the box with it or have fun. they're literally just half-life weapons for the most part, rpg, pistol, shotgun, literally nothing cool with them, so uncool that developer need to add crits or make items based on crits to make these defaults to have anything worthwhile. other weapons really show jank and how busted tf game design is, like knife that instantly kills from the back or hell if ur lucky just butterknife them as if theyre low they die in 1 or 2 hits becuz it does 40 damage, useless nailguns, shitty smg u basically need to spam and destroy ur wrist to use well, hundreds of useless melees, may as well be the crowbar from half-life. no wonder why they added cosmetic items, they realize just how boring and how u eventually hate seeing this shit over and over. all valve had done with gunplay was make everything mundane. u have boomer shooters like quake, doom, unreal, which really big on projectiles and high damage, then u have valve where all they been doing is just the average joe stuff, no wonder why all of the cool scifi items they added suck balls, they don't know have to make them after just making mundane weapons. this is little better then those boomer shooters as they don't necessarily need a gimmick. in doom it fucking boring playing with shotgun, in tf2 it fun playing with shotgun. doom try make it more exciting by giving u double barrel shotgun, super shotgun. valve does that but in half-life making shotgun itself fire double and in tf2 making whole weapon just for scout for firing a lot of powerful shotgun shots, tho weakened of course. tfc even had the super shotgun, as it nearly quake tf remade in half-life. that is the gun design they have, making everything average, weaken it, becuz if everything is then nothing is. its balanced 90% of the shooting and items in this game are reused anyways, so once u seen one u basically seen them all. nothing wrong with asset reusing but it get boring. the animations feel so bad after a while, no wonder why people download custom animations.

  • @refusingtoconform

    Got a few rapid-fire pieces of feedback for ya Space for your personal use (and to help those algorithm gains):
    1. Really like how you interjected your usual use of alliteration into the script. Sprinkling it with other commons phrases and using it to complement your train of thought rather than gargling your point and leaving us with a backwash of thesaurused synonyms adjacent to the point is much more satisfying.
    2. TF2's inventory system is one of the most interesting piece of minute but it is also painfully outdated, especially for those simply wanting to gather all possible weapons for their loadouts. Cosmic Afro proposed in a years' old video that there could be a system where by sacrificing Unique versions of weapon, we should be able to get infinitely useable versions of unlocks that don't take up backpack space. At the time, he dubbed it an "Arsenal" and he proposed it would act as the Stock weapons do. Graying out the item quality to show that these are semi-permanent features in the player's inventory.
    3. You've really come a long way in terms of your SFM skills. Really goes to show that you've learnt a lot just by doing this for a few years of editing and trying out the tool.
    4. When it comes to crafting hats, I find that it's pretty fun to buy up a couple keys worth of Refined just to mass craft hats as giveaways/gifts for random players or friends I make in-game, like how some do mass Secret Saxton gifting. My biggest complaint with this process though is that there's no way to batch the process and Ref, as a commodity, is a constantly expanding community resource that most people aren't doing anything with. Calling back to Cosmic Afro and the Virtual Economist, there should be a more convenient way to sink massive amounts of metal into the crafting system, draining our digital coffers of this mostly worthless currency while getting a kickback for the hassle.
    A few people have proposed the ability to craft non-tradable consumables like Mann Co. Tickets or Keys but I'd, personally, rather see something similar to the Meat Your Match or War! updates where we donate Metal to our side in a conflict and the winner would decide on a global reward. Maybe it could be similar to the Robo-Crates or be a curated collection of cosmetics that we want to see in the next crate. Like a collection based on the old Frontline or Courve community projects or re-entering unused Invasion cosmetics and maps.
