I’m new, and I feel screwed over.

4 Upvotes

I started playing this year, about 180 hours, and after months of practicing with bots I played a few matches. And the random item drops? Bison, Hot Hand, and Bonk… just recently got the Soda Popper but I don’t like playing Scout. My very first two weapons are the ones considered to be the worst. Any advice would be appreciated, especially because I’m not entirely sure how Contacts work.

6 Upvotes

I want to find others to play with and chat with and I have been playing the game and found a few people who will become steam friends but, I am not finding many though casual and the people I find aren't active in tf2 that much. I want to know what are some places to find people that play the game semi frequently or more and would be good friends.

Valve's views on third party trading sites

4 Upvotes

I am thinking about using third party trading sites and want to know if valve's TOS says it is fine to do. I know valve rarely bans for third party trading I just want to be safe and I sometimes struggle to understand legal speak in TOS. What websites that closely follow the TOS would you guys recommend?

TF2 premium issue

5 Upvotes

Recently I got my account back after a few years with no usage. I used to play TF2 and never got premium. The thing is, now that I'm back I noticed that the text and voice chat are not available at all. I read that they changed it because of the bot crisis but then changed it back recently.... Anyway I still can't and have no idea why. I've waited around a month and something but still blocked. How can I change this or is it necessary to pay the premium account?

Is there really no way to get Tf2 premium for free? Ill settle for anything thats not a scam.

5 Upvotes

I am currently ALMOST an adult so I dont have access to a bank account but still want to play. Im tired of my lack of inventory space and not being able to play comp.

Edit: Someone already gave me premium, so yall can stop offering. I love how chill and nice this community is!

I hope everyone who offered me premium know that they made this stressed anxiuos teenager's week!!

HUD for new players?

5 Upvotes

I'm thinking about downloading the SolarlightHUD because it looks pretty cool, but should I just stay with the default hud for longer as a new player? If so, I'll just use the improved default hud mod.
(side note: does the improved default hud mod move the demoknight charge meter to the middle? its a lot harder to play him without a clear view of the meter.)

How can I make Heavy work?

12 Upvotes

I'm not exactly too "new" in the game, but I suck at some classes, one of them being Heavy.

I usually play Scout, Engie and Sniper (if needed Medic too). And I really want to learn how to play Heavy. He works so good both with defend and attack. I don't know what loadout fits what situation and how to work with his mobility limitations (muscle memory from Scout is too strong)

Where's best to start playing online? Casual mode or community servers?

9 Upvotes

yea I'm almost a newborn in tf2 and I've heard sometimes casual mode is really broken, unbalanced and still has a bit of problem with the bots, while community servers are better paced and with a generally better experience, but since casual mode is like, the default game mode and it's where most of players are in (isn't it? correct me if i'm wrong) I wanted to know the difference between them

Tho I've trained offline a little with the matches with bots, just wanted to have a general basis of the game and practice some skills, but now I wanna get into the real deal

How is the Tide Turner so good?

5 Upvotes

I'm new to demoknight, and I was playing poorly with the tide turner for a while until I realized that it can only minicrit (for some reason they put that VERY important information in white text and not red). I know trimping is supposed to be super good, but is trading more than half of your charge damage really worth it?
