Official Team Fortress 2 Game Nights (PC)

Aww man! Went to bed too early I guess.

It was nice to see/hear you again. There are a lot of new toys to play with. Let us know if there's a specific one you don't have that you are looking for. A lot of them are pretty cheap these days and someone might have something lying around.

Lately more desk hours than flying. Meaning getting up early. Pub games are a bit too late for me most of the time.
Hope to be present soon again!

So what's up guys? Me? Oh, not much, just 200-pointing Dustbowl...

Oh yeah? Well I'm getting Chinese food delivered at 11:30 at night.

So... yeah. Take that, Mr. Beautiful Muscles.

It was a long and lonely road before Edwin switched teams and Flaming Peasant and Ukick joined. Me against the goodjer horde is not a good plan.

Ran into Gumbie sniping on a pub this afternoon. The server looked like a lost cause, so I went Kritz Medic and pocketed him. Then, when things turned around, I took a break from Kritzing his Machina and pan and healed up the rest of the team. The other side broke through and we lost.

Moral: Kritzing Snipers is a pro strat. Do not forsake the pro strat for scrub strats like healing other people, you will only lose and stop infuriating people who die to a pocketed Sniper.

I think I've kritzed Gumbie before as well. Whoever I initially kritzed got killed and Gumbie was the nearest available player.

Events aren't working, but please to come join us on Sunday afternoon, yes?

Yeah our team was terrible but we were kicking ass. As soon as we died they took the last point.

Thanks, lots and lots of new toys for me to figure out.

New Video Card, no crashes tonight, Hopefully no more at all.

Yes Gumbie my caber hax has a setting to seek out all snipers named Gumbie.

pantsu, sorry for the kills at spawn, first one I was just passing through and it turned into a crocket, and second one the door was bugged open and medic was behind me... Had to protect u_u

Eh, I don't even remember the first one you mentioned. The one with the door was just annoying because half the team wasn't doing anything so getting killed in spawn was extra frustrating.

I was waiting for you to go by so that I could come out the door and kill you medic but the bugged door f*cked my sneakiness.

There was a little bit of discussion yesterday after I killed someone with my trusty Solemn Vow. For some reason I really enjoy killing people with Mr Hippocrates. What do most medics use for medic melee? Just wondering if I'm missing out on a better choice of weapons.

Ubersaw is still my favorite

Solemn Vow is on my "combat medic" loadout alongside my Blutsauger, but I only use that when messing around during low-population games.

For regular play I use the Vita-Saw.

I use the Vita-Saw for up to 20% charge kept on death.

I had just never seen anyone killed by it, it seemed funny to me. I so seldom see it used that I could not even remember what it was called. I believe I called the act of being killed via the Solemn Vow "getting statued".

I use the plain old bonesaw; it always seems to crit when I use it. Which I never do in an actual match, having already been killed when it would be appropriate to actually use.

My opinion on this doesn't carry much weight since the only medic I play is combat-crossbow medic, but it seems to me that the tiers go like this:

Tier 1:
Ubersaw
Vitasaw

Tier 2:
Solemn Vow

Tier 3:
Amputator

Tier 4:
Bone Saw

If you do a lot of meleeing, the ubersaw is probably better than the vitasaw, but if you don't, the vitasaw is probably the better choice. The only time I'd think using the Solemn Vow would be fine would be if you are using the quick fix since building uber is fast enough anyways.

Spoiler:

But really, who uses the quickfix?

Ukick's tiers are generally how I look at medic melee too

Spoiler:

he still sucks at medicing though

:p

That's not a spoiler, it is a commonly known fact. Unless, of course, you are referring to my crossbow medic skillz; then we'll have to fight.

That's precisely why I use it. I've killed a few heavies with it, which makes me giggle every time. The vitasaw might actually be a better choice for me. For the most part if I have a melee weapon out it means death is imminent since I can't ever seem to hit anything with melee weapons anyway.

Just use whatever SamF7 uses. That guy is the Medic Übermensch.

Vitasaw is way better than the Ubersaw for Pub play, extra speed (edit: with the Overdose syringe gun) + keep uber on respawn is best bonus. Medic's not supposed to be meleeing anyway.

If you're a really good medic, Ubersaw is not bad since you're not dying so often. But most medics die after deploying one or two ubers, unless you're consistently able to pull a few ubers without dying, I'd say Vitasaw is still the best.

Solemn Vow is best if you're pocketing a heavy and constantly telling him who to attack I suppose... Doesn't make sense to me. For medics, retreat is the best option most of the time, I guess knowing a heavy is down to 10% and maybe you throw syringes to finish him off, or something like that? I like the Amputator better.

Also I might be crazy but regular Bone Saw always seems to crit more often for me...

My favorite, by far, is the solemn vow. I don't use it, though. It's no better than the bonesaw and I have a strange bonesaw. Give me a strange solemn vow, though, and I think I would use it. The SV has enough style that I would not care that it wasn't the best weapon.

The vitasaw is the best one. The ubersaw is nice but it encourages recklessness which is the opposite of what I want as a medic. Once I start melee I'm in for the duration. I'm much better off running away and the ubersaw taunts me with it's siren song. It's too risky to even take one hit.

The vitasaw is even more useful for standard uber since the charge takes so long to build up.

Finally, I'm switching to the overdose. With my penchant for running away I think the speed boost is more important than the 10% damage reduction.

Ubersaw for me, and yes it certainly invokes recklessness. Usually right when a KK ends, the other team, if still alive, is on the ropes. If I have mannes to back me up and it's the right setting, I'll go in and take a couple pot shots with the ubersaw. Most of the times it doesn't work, but there are times you can catch them by surprise and get a jumpstart on the KK.

I'm up to 668 kills with the ubersaw and 491 for the blutsauger.
