So I've been thinking about this for a while now, and while I've wanted to share it, I've been hesitant to post it on SPUF. Mostly because...well, come on. It's SPUF. I'm also not as well known there as I am here, where I'm at least a familiar-sounding name to most of you. But anyways, this is mostly to gauge the response of people here, see if you like it or not. If I get a good enough response, I'll post to big SPUF. So, without further ado, I present: Infernal Weapons So basically what they are is weapons like the Eyelander-you initially start out with lower stats than normal, which puts you at a disadvantage. However, as you get kills during that life, your stats start to increase. So, for example, bearing in mind that these are all stats that I just pulled out of my ass: Infernal Rocket Launcher Starts out with 50% more self-damage and 25% less proj. speed Each kill= -25% self damage, +12.5% proj. speed Caps at 4 So as you can see, once you get 2 kills, the weapon will be statistically identical to a stock RL. 2 more, and you're probably getting close to OP territory, seeing as that's a greater speed than the Liberty Launcher. Just an example though. Just like the Eyelander's "possessed", I see these as either kind of hellish weapons, or also possessed-they steal your abilities at the start, but once you make a few "sacrifices" to them, you unlock their true potential. So, the TL;DR-Infernal Weapons start you out at a disadvantage, but get a few kills and they get better. Blood for the blood god, if you will. Thoughts? Or is this a bad idea and I should feel bad?

YOu could always tweak it, doesn't NEED to be 4 kills. I think I'm starting to think that as well, I just figured that since it's essentially a different game mechanic than pretty much every weapon there is in the game, it warranted a new item quality. Plus, I like the word "Infernal" >_> Wow, thanks for having reasons why you don't like it, instead of just saying you don't like it and leaving it at that like a pompous asshat would. Really constructive there.

Hmm, you're totally right. What if they could be dropped, but at a smaller rate than normal items? Say, maybe a 50% less chance? That way, they'd still be in the drop system, but it'd be more prudent to get them from a crate.

I see this as maybe a crate thing, or the next big thing for Halloween. Maybe once someone gets to 4 kills, they start glowing red?

I'm in! I have a hacked client (as you just saw ) so I can build stuff fast.

I've honestly just gone past giving a shit about either side of it. Not gonna watch it, but I don't care if you do.

Also-I know you said it was vanilla, but are there any plugins on the server at all?

My name on there is skirata44Hope to be playing a bit on there later! :D

Nice job, Huff. Especially the part about the bacon...now I want some bacon.

Vodka-I mean...cherry coke with a splash of vanilla.

So I was on a SLAG gaming Parkour fortress server yesterday. It's usually pretty fun, I like the parkour mod alot. But last night, it was filled with noobs. No kidding. Below is an excerpt of some particularly memorable quotes:-"Man, your hat is SO COOL!" (Referring to someone's Ghastly Gibus)-"Wait, you can change the style on certain hats?"-"I used to use the huntsman, but then I realized how bad it sucked. Now I use the Machina"-"OMG, that demo's hacking! His health keeps refilling and he doesn't get hurt when he sticky jumps!" (I was using SJ + Persian persuader to get health from dead people)-"What's a jumper weapon?"-"How much is one reclaimed metal worth?" "One rec." "Oh, ok."-There was a 15 minute argument on the Crusader's Crossbow vs the Blutsauger.-"I only use the Candy Cane. It's the best weapon ever."My faith in TF2 took a huge beating last night, my friends.

So it looks like all the flash sales are ending in approximately 12 hours. It makes me kinda sad, you know? In the end, it turned out to be a pretty good sale. Now we have to wait till December for the next one. :(

Moar news from the front!Today, we had:-A guy who freaked out every time he found a winger (on one map, there's a few scattered around and you use them as grappling hooks. Very common, very fun)-Someone who was selling his S. Rainblower for a scrap (It's just a reskin, who needs it?)-And the best for last. A guy came on and said that he'd just come back to TF2 after a while. He said he had about 1000 hours or so, and that the reason he left was because, and I quote, "Those pyros and demos. They're just so overpowered, they can literally instakill anyone."I couldn't take it anymore, my brain was trying to gnaw its way out of my skull at this point.

Idk if this has been on here before, but...yeah.

Whoo hoo! Got the full badge! Now where's my prize?

My friend has it, I played it a few times on his account. Wasn't too impressed, sadly :/ Great concept though.

I think it actually is. Not 100% sure, but I was talking to a friend yesterday about it and he mentioned that. Just go to IGN and find their review of it. I believe they scored it a 2/10. For reference, Duke Nukem Forever scored a 5.5/10 on there.

Because it sucks?

If you're available now, I'm gonna be playing in a few minutes. I need to either level up my char to 27 or find a new gun...hate the crossbow I'm currently using but I have nothing better.

So I convinced one of my college buddies to buy it and we're playing later tonight. Should I make a new character to use with him, or should I stick with my level 22 EV?

Still too expensive for me Oh well.

Did anyone else preorder Orcs Must Die 2 yet? It's on sale right now-10% off! Is gud deal.
