[Chaos]

Chaosfox told me a neat trick to get the HHH achievement.

Create server
in console type:
sv_cheats 1; noclip; hurtme -9999999; bot; tf_halloween_force_boss_spawn; sv_cheats 0

For some reason it took me 3 tries before the achievement registered, but otherwise it worked well.

Also the horseman is apparantly HARD AS NAILS!!!

According to TF2Wiki the HHH has 3000+hp

it awards 3 people with the achievement when it dies. Least that's how it went last night

[discordance]

tea its not hard, you don't have to kill him, its kindof janky but you just have to have done damage to him a short time before he died. I got the achievement and didn't even notice... because my hat failed to drop :<

chaos it doesn't award it to 3 people, the achievement announcer chokes after 3 announcements, it goes lolspam and shuts its mouth. Anyone counted as killing him will unlock the achievement even if you dont see the message

Jojo came on with me last night and got the horseman head and some of his unusual scrap in like 5 seconds. She hit the horseman with a fish once and got the scrap, thats also the current theory on the wiki, land one melee hit on him, and then be counted as killing him and you get a chance at the scrap dropping. Not got the present yet either, was so close once but ive only even seen it once.

Also will not be playing any other map but this map all the time, the unusual scrap crafts halloween hats too you know :O. Also this is hat fortress simulator and all the fashionable new hats are associated with that map. You should shout me if wdg1 is running it but if the map changes ill just be off to a 24/7 event shack

Most people will only wanna play the new halloween maps for the next few days at least...

Really?

*sees hzza running off to remove the maps from the cycle*

Fuck that, they don't let me near the FTP; did you read about what I did to my computer last night?!

I just can't believe that people (not just disco because I know that he won't be a minority) care more about the hats/items then playing the game at the moment.

but its one week out of the 52?

[Officer Dibble]

I think it's more that it's new stuff, which will only be around for a couple of weeks. So people want to experience as much of it as possible as quickly as possible.

[Hzza]

That comment was only half in relation to the Halloween update and half at TF2 in general.

Also, you'll experience it through map circulations, sitting on a 24/7 manison map trying to grab presents before anyone else for unique items and trying to melee a super strong NPC in the hope you'll get random metal to make hats, isn't experiencing it; its farming it.

/MHO

[Blue Geezer]

do you only get the metal if it drops and you pick it up? if so that sucks i thought you would just get it if it decides you should?

[discordance]

you only have to pick up the gift. And Hzza fuck the game man, the game is 2 years old the whole point of this event is a change of pace, its actually quite funny seeing a server face the horseman the first time and everyone stops fighting to kill him, but then gradually people start using him as a distraction instead. The whole idea of the event last year was to refresh people, to give them a new way to play tf2 for awhile without destroying the main game, ok now its hella monetized but it is a holiday afterall. You have fun playing gravelpit for the millionth time old man :p. The problem for server operators though is given how loaded with items the map is the majority arn't going to want to do anything but farm it. Its bloody hard to get the drops, having the map come up twice in one night and youll have a server full of people who havn't got their halloween items who are just going to pop off elsewhere and get them.

[CruelCow]

Adjusting the vote system so that the Halloween map is always voteable would be a nice compromise between 24/7th and not playing "enough" imho

[Blue Geezer]

or maybe open up server 2 and allow event only maps?

[Hzza]

With a fairly high turnover of players it'd end up being voted in more times that not though I think.

Good, they can fuck off to their farms and play soldier dress-up and I'll stay and play TF2 on gravelpit for the millionth time *facedesk*

[Teatime]

do you only get the metal if it drops and you pick it up? if so that sucks i thought you would just get it if it decides you should?

From what I've gathered you get the achievement when you contribute on killing the HHH and the achievement will give you the metal. Since you only can get the achievement once you'll only get that one piece of metal. And then you are free to decide what to do with it

BTW, I will also concentrate on playing Manor this weekend. For one it is a limited event. But also I agree with Disco that it's a change of pace.
And while we're at that, I've never understood why #1 has Harvest instead of Harvest_Event in its mapcycle.
