Trading IS the gamemode!

[Thexor]

You'll also be searching for the fabled "bonus sixth Polycount set" that was also promised. 
Valve mentioned in an interview with PCGamer that they didn't ship either the new gamemode nor the secret Polycount set, but that they fully intend to release them shortly.

Translation: Valve Time prevented them from getting everything out and meeting their (self-imposed, but publicly-announced) deadline of "sometime in September".

Wish the ping was more accurate in the server browser, 98% of the servers I've tried to join as of late has said like 50 ping in the server list then when I get into the game its like 200-500 Ping.

They got the main Polypack stuff out in September, so they made that deadline. They just pushed other stuff back to make it.

I love being a spy with Your Eternal Reward and Dead Ringer. Does anyone else do this?

I might if I had YER (which, along with Mad Milk, Black Box, and Sydney Sleeper, is one of my most wanted weapons). =/

I've got a Black Box I don't use. What have you got for trade?

From the Trading thread:

http://www.tf2items.com/id/zaithemaster

I have several Vintage weapons available for trade, including Buff Banner, Equalizer, Flare Gun, Frontier Justice, Homewrecker, KGB, Kritzkrieg, Sandman, Sandvich, and Wrangler. I'm looking for a Black Box, Mad Milk, Sydney Sleeper, and Your Eternal Reward.

I also have a Vintage Level 86 Camera Beard available for trading for another hat.

[Akigagak]

You have four wranglers.

Willing to swap one of them?

Capitalize the first letter of each sentence.

Nothing to see here.

You know I'd like a wrangler myself, not that it belongs in this thread.

[Thexor]

Heh, I'm honestly of the opinion that the Wrangler is somewhat OP. Not because of the damage, or manual aim - an uber still counters that handily. It's that bloody shield that annoys me. A non-Wrangled gun takes 3 stickies to destroy, which is simple enough. I'm not even certain if 8 stickies are enough (and the wiki seems to be down, so I can't check.  ), but either way, it's annoyingly-tough. Worse, the shield stays up even while the gun is offline - you can fire the gun, switch to the wrench, and switch back to the Wrangler without the shield ever dropping. And if you kill the Engie, you've got to wait 3 seconds for the shield to deactivate before you can actually damage the gun (at which point, it's now auto-firing again!).

So far I've found it mostly useless. I'll have to get a friend to also play engineer, and have one of us wrangle a sentry from somewhere else while the other keeps it repaired for it to be useful, I think. Once that shield goes up, if I'm standing behind the sentry, I can't see much of anything to aim the gun at anymore (the shield is hard to see through), and the shield obscures team colors as well.

(So far the shield has mostly just gotten me killed and then the sentry destroyed after I died)

On the OTHER hand, I laughed maniacally when I realized I could shield a mini-sentry.

[Von Krieger]

On one map, not one of the official ones, whatever the CP stages map that ends up with a big portal looking thing at the end is, I managed to pretty much lock down the first control point in Stage 2.

That was the day I also found out that in order to keep a wrangled Level 3 sentry permanently running, you needed to have TWO level 3 dispensers to fuel metal for it.

[Siquo]

The Wrangler needs two engies, but then it's nearly unstoppable. Shield + constant repairing is really hard to take down. You need to either kill the engies, or first destroy the dispensers and then keep going until the repairguy runs out of metal...
