[@WhimsicottFanatic]

The fact that 60% of TF2's marketplace is cluttered by War Paints is kinda funny to me because I feel like 80% of that would be nonexistent if wears weren't a thing [that's being generous, of course, because there's not a snowball's chance in Hell it's actually even odds between all five] Because almost fucking nobody wants anything below Factory New, _maybe_ Minimal Wear, outside of a very select few who want a Battle Scarred version of an edgy WP just to go all-out with a Sweat Lord loadout, or cases where War Paints have custom, actually interesting wears that, dare I say, actually justify the mechanic Like, if Valve just removed wears and turned every War Paint Factory New *[except* for those paints/skins that existed before the proper WP feature, y'know, Civic Duty, Top Shelf, High Roller, etc.], I don't think anybody would complain aside from those aforementioned select individuals and traders because "MUH MONEY"

[@krocon]

The reason why you feel like the only one person on youtube who doesn't like how the game is treated is simply the fact that the majority of people who are genuinely upset with Valve had already left the game years ago. I started playing tf2 in 2015 and even back then folks were talking about the same things you are in this video. The same complains with Valve doing too bad and/or not enough that the game is being wasted, the artstyle getting destroyed and playerbase just eating it all up. Nowadays the community consist of people who either happy with little of what we got or who simply don't care anymore. And I personally am a part of second group. If the game playable and fun I play. If the game is unplayable because of bots then I don't play. No complaining about the current state of the game but also no praising Valve for doing what I think of less than the bare minimum. I don't see another way to enjoy this game without going insane

36:09 I personally don't care about unusuals for three reasons: One: The dame reason as you where basically I'm getting tired of endless unusuals which start to blend more and more as time goes on and quality check is ignored But this would be passable if not for reason Two: THEY'RE STILL RARE AF. Seriously, I got unusual war paint and aussies before I got unusual, actually scratch that atleast I GOT THOSE, while I got zero unusual cosmetics. And finally reason 3 that ties it all together: I hate them because you basically can't get 99.99% of them. Why tf should you care about unusuals if only rich snobs or bots can afford them while we poor suffer and get jack shit? While I also hate other modern cosmetics stuff for low quality... Atleast YOU CAN GET THEM. Atleast it's maybe worth following cosmetic or war paint cases or taunts shop in case once in a blue moon you get a good stuff but with unusuals, even if you get anything good... You can't get it unless it's ugly ass hat. Oh yeah and bonus 4th reason can be the fact that unusuals are hat locked... Yeah they should've replaced hat unusuals with unusualifiers, this would've made unusuals slightly more or less accessible in certain aspects but big bonus would be customizability. So yeah f modern unusuals, they used to be also pretty bad in the past but atleast we weren't getting so much of them as if we should care. 39:47 Yeah this is why I also don't care about cosmetics in general but atleast if once in a blue moon one good one comes out I can maybe afford it(it's a maybe incase it's elite or assasin grade then it's gonna be overinflated in price... Thx Valve for graded cosmetics I hate you Valve) while all unusuals are atleast 8~ keys in price so you kinda screwed

One thing nobody mentions about the unusual effects and war paints is that the content bloat literally adds more files to your PC and optimization work is never done. The game takes up an insane amount of space and lazy color swap particle effects that no one wears just exacerbates it. I honestly don't think I've seriously traded for anything in a year and that was to buy a gift from a trade bot. Would not be surprised if the servers were dying from the bloat, though I'd like to see a source.

Haven't watched the video yet, but I'll say before I do that while this isn't a replacement for a major update, I felt it was pretty good as far as Halloween updates go. Mostly solid War paints with a few weaker ones. A good selection of hats that are almost devoid of silly hats and what silly hats are there were made halloween cosmetics. Maps were also pretty good this year despite releasing with some glitches initially. Edit post watching: I mostly agreed with your opinions though I'm a bit more forgiving towards the cosmetics and a couple of the warpaints. I also don't think the Misha heavy is really "furbait", it's far too realistic to really appeal to furries imo. The dragon head one is absolutely scaly bait and I've seen scalies whining that it's halloween restricted. Which, honestly, I love watching those types cry over stupid shit, so it's a win in my book.

If you think about it, most people who play TF2 are teenagers or kids that have been playing for maybe five years or less. If they are older, they have likely quit the game for a period of time and come back with nostalgia. Therefore, most people playing right now simply have a different perspective on what TF2 means to them. Not that this is bad, but I think it's why they get annoyed with the constant complaining from veterans. This world is new to them and grinding out 50 contracts in a month is fun and exciting. They don't notice the lack of lore, or polish, or artstyle. They don't remember what the game was like pre-skins or pre-matchmaking. They don't remember a time when trade and cheater bots weren't a part of life. They don't remember living on trade servers or going to the same quickplay server and having a community of players. So, they just do what we did when we were new. They want to read /r/tf2 (which is basically nothing but memes at this point), play shitty wacky gimmick maps, wear funny hat, and do funny taunt with their friends. They start off caring about the problems of the game, but their perspective on what is an issue is different. Even if they wanted to make content or change things, they learn over time that nothing they do will ultimately matter to the game because the devs just do not care about them. Non-SFM TF2 KZbinrs have for the most part, fallen to the wayside and are relegated to either gameplay or clickbait meme videos because everything that can be said about TF2's content has already been said prior to and immediately after Jungle Inferno. Players like myself, that have been closely invested in the game in some form for over a decade, have a different perspective. It can be right or it can be wrong, but generally it results in nihilism or obnoxious criticism, which endlessly annoys the new guys. You can call it a boomer take, but I think it's true. Everyone, even the fresh installs can see some of the problems with the game, but through experience learn to accept them as unchangeable. There was a time when people built trading empires from scratch, new players could succeed in the market, and modders built entirely new games inside of TF2. Now, pretty much everything has been established and the game has been played. With no regulation and no official content, the result is a bunch of us fumbling around in the remaining buggy hellhole, with new players that we hope to God somehow find the same enjoyment we did. Those who came before me said the same thing around the time I started playing, but at least TF2 was at its peak back then so there was something to look forward to.

holy shit jeffrey dahmer knows about tf2

[@hmmmstvethebaffled7720]

I absolutely love Crasher sooo much, it's probably my third favorite map in the game. It feels so good to play on, I love the bomb pumpkins, voice acting and how the giants aren't overpowered. God you better make a 24/7 server like you said. Also I love the train one, so fucking awesome

[@Cameron088]

Tbh, the Hypergon kinda just gives me Halo Covenant Vibes, and that doesn't match TF2

[@markoth-d9m]

Idk about you but if I were a valve employee I would much rather be a the front of vr games and software than upkeeping a 15 year old game with spaghetti code.

[@evdestroy5304]

That's why you hire other people to work on the game

[@Dragonspirit223]

In my opinion it is our right to be angry. I haven't played TF2 in years. Literally years. But I love this game, the characters, and the universe. A few years back another company screwed over their fanbase actively, and we were told to just shut up and accept their bullcrap. Because they were doing things we asked them to do (not really, they took a concept and butchered it). We acted as we should have. We bit back. Boycotts, messages, letters, everything. And they silently slinked back to where they belong. As a person in a fan base, it is your duty and right to actively push for something better, and if you have a problem you shout that problem out until they fix it.

[@HEARTHLINGjoel]

you complain about valve getting greedy and putting in zero effort into managing this game, and yet you'll in the same breath give them 100 dollars on a loot crate you didn't like.

Hey, at least we finally got a non-looping unique taunt for engi and a good one at that, and the chinese rip-off cosmetics for the lulz too, right? Right? ... Yeah, back to 24/7 Community Turbine I go.

they should give us regular non-event maps in the summer updates

Yo, Zesty. Glad to see another video out. I like hearing your more in-depth opinions on stuff being added to one of my favorite games. Just thought I'd make a couple notes, in case you just so happen to see this comment. Firstly. The sparkledog comment during the Pumpkin Plastered segment. Thank God I'm not the only one that despises the over-the-top, flashy bundles of rainbow vomit. If I had the patience and mental capacity to go out into the world, sit down with the owner of every sparkledog OC, and help make them a bit more presentable, I most certainly would. Thank you for the cringe, my good man. Secondly. I really do feel your pain, regarding Valve's overall lack of acknowledgement for their own game. It sucks that this company I praised for so long is shooting themselves in the foot so many times. Probably not even a foot left to shoot at this point, just puttin' more lead into the earth Makes me wanna sneak into Valve HQ and blast The Chalkeaters' "Count to Three" over the intercom at max volume. I also wanted to ask you this, as I'm not quite sure how many other people ask, if any: If you could add something like a map or cosmetic to the game, what would you add? No more shakos or random furry bait or basic bitch pets or stuff like that. What do we need more of? I wanna hear what you have to say. Finally. I don't know why you're here. But I'm glad you are. Thank you for at least making my day a little brighter.

As a furry, I try my best to use natural colors for my animal person characters.

[@JesseIsBetterThanYou]

this game has gone 5 years straight without any new content, but the game has been out for 15 years. That's an entire third of this game's lifespan, and a quarter of my life. It's fucking absurd. I started making TF2 videos this summer, but I've had trouble making any meaningful content because I hit the same roadblock as you. The gameplay stays unchanged while the heart and style of this game slowly die off. One of the things I worry most about in the future is the extreme disconnect between company and consumer. It feels so manipulative and shitty, and we're always worse off for it

[@supersimon4922]

ValVe doesn't force people to work on certain projects, the people who put in effort to do something for us are saints

I'm half and half on the Robo Demo head. I agreee it should be restricted, it looks cool. But it feels like it's just taking the head off the robot demoman model and pass it off as a misc.

tf2 state lately is so noticeably bad its nigh time i sell some of the expensive stuff i have

[@ZafkielDoesStuff]

The one big thing I like about Health & Hell and it's green version is that you can put it on the Scotsman Skullcutter and the paint regions make it look really good- with the grey / black gradient being on all of the big parts, and the vibrant red / blue (or green) parts going on specific parts of the handle.

[@Small_child_punter]

It’s probably hard to listen to positivity more than negativity but fuck it. That needs to change. I love you Zesty. You’re a very necessary figure for tf2. You don’t pull punches. When bullshit goes ramped, you call it out. That’s who you are and I like that. Thanks for giving news the proper once over. Not letting a blanket opinion be the only one.

[@ariariari7138]

To be clear traders don’t even care about new unusual effects. It’s rare to see anyone even selling them much less buying from my experience

When initially looking at the cosmetic case I saw the top one named "Omnimann" and got so excited thinking it was Invincible and it burst my bubble

[@myrminki]

The only reason I like Valve is because their work on Linux, even if they try to through all their stuff under the bus, the Foss community will take care of it.

[@626Link]

The problem you're facing Zesty, is that you care more about the game than Valve does. You're right, Valve does not care. There is nothing you can do about it. I'm not saying you should like it, I'm not saying you should stop caring, but stop expecting Valve to. I'm content.
