TF2's Forgotten Mechanic
Try OperaGX free here: mtchm.de/hcaqp
TF2 is a game of which has many mechanics, some being well known, some being abandoned and some being forgotten. Today we discuss a TF2 mechanic which was once changing the game but today is forgotten, this is mainly due to Valve almost scrapping the idea and only leaving us with the ruins of what they used to be. If you are a OG TF2 fan, I hope this TF2 video gives you a sense of nostalgia about the good ol' days of Team Fortress 2 (TF2).

I can recommend GX, it's worth it just for the integrated ad blocker, and i suppose you might also like the integrated Whatsapp, twitter and VPN capabilities. But if you have chrome with adblock, there is not that much point

I feel like they were removed for being potentially pay-to-win, seeing as how each set required a hat to get the effect.

But the powers the sets gave you were put into a set weapon. Example: the pyro gas station set gave you more speed, and that speed was put into the powerjack.

While Item Sets are interesting to expand upon, I do think their effects should be only cosmetic. The current special gravestone if I remember correctly is negligible, respective effects upon the user such as unique killfeeds, killed enemies getting gibbed, or a special trail would make the item sets more worthwhile imo.
Now with bots roaming around, we want the croco style back
I would have mentioned all the details that lead up to the removal of the sets, but still a decent amount of information all in 5 minutes

Valve should add 'weapon hats' that are dropped for f2ps as well that are specifically used for a set with a set gameplay bonus or you can just use as a normal cosmetic. Seperate from actual p2p cosmetics
@bloodtrocuter
2 жыл бұрын
The problem with that is that players need a different playstyle if they wanted to use that set of weapons with the chosen cosmetics. The fluidity of cosmetic customisation is lost in exchange for changes in gameplay, which was why set stat changes were removed (I believe).

still have no idea why anyone would watch Wamo's 4 minute video about item sets or casper's much BETTER 12 minute item set video
The croco style kit would be a good counter to the bot problem if it was still around, and to amby spies, but it wouldn’t work with the razorback, so it wouldn’t be a total counter
They are such forgotten features of the past that, even Cassper and Spikey Mikey made videos on them. 🤔🤔🤔

Go for it.
Im happy item sets that granted actual in game bonuses were changed, Mostly as it had a rather "P2W Bonus" Vibe which i feel valve wanted to avoid. Silent DR Decloak comes to mind i have no issue with item sets that just give a cosmetic bonus, and i feel like the ones with calling cards should have been changed to have a much more unique cosmetic effect rather than just the dull calling cards

You should've explained that Valve removed the bonus item set buffs and gave one of the items in the set a similar stat so the weapon isn't underpowered. -The increase max hp from the Milk Man set was replaced with +20% healing for the Shortstop (which was bugged so Valve changed it with a shove). -The headshot immunity from the Croc-o-Style set was replaced with increased bullet resist for the Danger Shield (which was super broken for Sniper so they changed it to fire ressist). -The 20% sentry resist from the Tank Buster was changed with 50% sentry resist if the Battalion's active. -The increased movement speed from the Gas Jockey set was changed with increase movement on the Power Jack. -While the reduced cloak sound for the Saharan Spy set is changed with increase cloak duration for the LeTranger (because reduce cloak sound is too broken with the DR). You also missed a few more item sets for Medic, Heavy and Demo (Engi is the only class without a set and these sets don't require a hat to have the bonus stat). -Medic had a Med-Evil set (Crossbow and Amputator) that gave +1hp per second (which was changed to giving up to +3hp per sec for the Amputator when active). -Hibernating Bear set for Heavy (Brass Beast, Steak and Warrior's Spirit) to have 5% crit immunity (which was changed to 20% damage resist when under half hp for the Brass Beast) -Finally the Expert's Ordanance set for Demo (Loch n Load and Caber) for 10% fire resist (I think they removed it and buffed the Loch n Load to having 3 pipes instead of 2). You've basically covered what many TF2bers talked about years before (which isn't bad but you somehow missed all of the other important information in this topic which would explain why this video is so short) put a little more effort into your future videos next time because this video would've been even better and more informative if you further elaborated on why Valve removed these item sets.

These sets came out way before 2013, I remember. Maybe they removed those buff in 2013 instead.

I first started use the tank buster set in MvM because of the name but I didn’t realise how affective it is so I definitely recommend it for MvM (also calling cards on dead robots is kinda funny)
Set bonuses... I miss them still.

Watch my video about item sets for more on how they affected the community and balance of the game!
Probably it was replaced to be a calling card to prevent TF2 to be a Pay2Win-e type of game since cosmetics costs money or unless your lucky to get a cosmetic drop.
my idea is to bring back item sets but make the hats randomly drop at the same rate as the weapons so its not p2w
I thought u were gonna bring up duels tbh

ok but its not a mechanic it was a buff when you wore the item set - i guess wamo is still struggling to produce a meaningful video
Item sets feel far from forgotten when almost every big tf2 youtuber talks about it nearly once a year.
I wouldn‘t call that a mechanic tho tbh Like, good video, but I don‘t think a cosmetic and weapon combo is a “mechanic“
