And so it begins.

Down a dark path. D:

You are one of *those*

Lemme tell you, pardner. I've been gleefully killing newb spies since the update came out. You have no idea how good it feels to let out all those game hours of bottled up engineer frustration, in one nice, swift crit wrench

CAT FIGHT!

(Sorry. I had to :D )

But isn't good Demomen the biggest frustration towards engineer players nowadays? :P

Y'know, oddly enough, I haven't had much trouble from demomen lately. I can't recall a single instance in the last three days I've been playing where I had to contend with stickybombs. Spies are probably less of an immediate threat, but they come much more often.

There hadn't really been too many Demoman around since after the updat since many players are busy trying the sniper/spy unlockables they got.

:/

I wind up playing the damn Scottish guy a lot since none else even does. Ah well.

You're lucky to be new. I:

Most veteran players are pretty pee-oh'd at Valve right now. P:

I'm a new SPY, not a new player. And I like the drop system in THEORY, but in practice all I've gotten is stuff I already have ...

Oh.

Well then, watch these:

Bam. You'll be a better spy almost over night! ... not rly. But yeah. Spy has some of the best depth of all the classes.

I finally got to here the Scout's domination taunts in game now!

"Eh, look, you shapeshifted into a dead guy!"

Do want the new spy gun: The Ambassador

Its beyond broken right now, doesn't even damage (engie) buildings :V

Do not be deceived! Do not wander to the Dark Side D:

it feels great until backstab bugs out. Happens to me like 80% of the time.

HUR HUR! Spy is a fun class <3 but its anoying when pyros just show up and go FFFFFFFFFF

Did you play it on the moon?

No, I played it with a spoon.

Did you hear a bassoon?

Where the heck does everyone play lately :U

Most I know either play on random servers or on TFP (which is advertised here on FA). :P

Or rather "The Furry Pound", I just got the bad habit of abbreviating it due to saying it alot. :P

TFP and CC2's servers.

I just wish the influx of spies dies down, it's one of those classes that get hurt as soon more players starts playing as it. :/

Playing Spy is like juggling.

Juggling ... in space.

The new Drop System kinda blows. It's like playing an arcade game where the machine randomly glitches and grants you invulnerability and shit.

And thus it begins ...

Did you get any of the new spy-drops?

Psh. No. All I've gotten is stuff I already have.

Same here! D=

And I've gotten no drops the last 2-3 days. This new system is driving me crazy.

Spy is still fun though! =D

Cloak and dagger is seriously awesome. Infinite cloak FTW

Yeah, spies are fun. I'm still a Medic / Demo at heart.

Would you be willing to trade a Kritzkreig for one of my Dead Ringers?

I certainly would, except for the fact that Valve hasn't implemented trading yet for some reason.

I know, just being silly.

I wish there was something we could do with the multiples of unlockables we have. Cash them in for one of the other unlockables, or maybe even auto-completing one achievement that's not "Get an Item" achievement.

And here I've thought of you as an Engy since you drew that one image, Zombiecat. Now I'll have to think of you as a SPAH!

Honestly, I really do hope you enjoy playing the class. I've always liked the idea behind it, using disguises but especially the cloak to outmaneuver and outsmart people. However, it seems like the most effective way to play is as a kind of brute force spy-disguise and rush a sentry with a pyro behind you to kill it almost instantly, spy capping points, etc. Although I think the cloak helps more than the disguises overall, even if they figure out you're a spy in disguise it doesn't necessarily mean they can stop you,

I've only gotten about 1 new weapon every 4 or 5 unlocks, but once Valve gets the trading system up I'd be glad to give you my extra Ambassador. They patched it so it's not completely useless anymore.

Thanks for being awesome, Zombiecat! Good luck with everything! ^^
