Personally, I use http://www.tf2wh.com . It's completely automated with trade-bots. Trade items for credits, then later trade the credits for other items. Only downsides are, there is usually a queue you have to wait in before a bot gets to you, and you get less credits selling then buying, other than that, it's a great system.

Yeah, I'm aware of tf2wh. It had a big surge in popularity followed by a bit of a negative slump.

Personally I view it as a different service to sites like TF2OP and etc entirely. Nicer for a quick simple 1:1.

The item drop reset was last night but I am getting zero item drops. I played last night and this morning but no items are dropping for me, yet other players seem to be getting items..

Working for me. I had a week were I swear my account got zero items, though. No idea why.

I don't care for what this game has turned into....

Last night, after about a 3 year absence from the game, I reinstalled it. And I was just instantly lost and confused. The whole start menu has changed, and there are about 20 different options one can choose from. There is very little information about how and what you can do with everything, and it is just way too much for one like myself, who just wants to hop on and have fun, to deal with.

I used to really like this game, but it seems to have turned into a grind fest and all about items now. :(

The menu is even simpler than before, there is even a "Quickplay" feature now that'll automatically find you a server.

As far as items/etc go, as The_Decryptor said you can avoid all the cosmetics, and weapon-wise stock is still usually the best or a valid option with the exception generally being with melee.

If you're confused, I'd also suggest flipping through the Official Wiki and just familiarising yourself with the key points.

In other news, last night I was lucky enough to play a couple of rounds of TF2 with Robin Walker:

Anyone know of any glitches or exploits that cause a medic to fire a needlegun really, really fast?

I'm just about convinced this one guy was using a hack. Really annoying. If only we could report players as we do with servers. :pinch:

You can. Just press F7 and select the player you want to report. It'll collect a bunch of info and send it to Valve.

I assume you get to select what to report after pressing F7? I did that yesterday and it gave me the option to submit now (J) or later (K). I thought I was reporting the server (which wasn't at fault!) so I cancelled the dialog.

Yea, it takes a screen shot and you can select to report the server or player.

I'm really starting to get back in to TF2. Took some screenshots recently at surround resolution thought some of you might enjoy them. Need to edit a lot of files to centre the HUD like in these screenies if any of you want help doing that for your own surround setups PM me :)

Seems like in a recent update, they finally made TF2 restore almost instantly upon an ALT+TAB or the Windows key. After three years they finally get it right! No more sitting there for half a minute hearing voice chat loop over and over, and then seeing weird glitches after you're back into the game.

Also, there's this. http://www.teamfortress.com/truemeaning/ - just the engineer and pyro. Hmm... the last Meet the Team coming? :D

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
