thought I was washed up, but did alright on the midfight

does this count as advertising? not sure if I should just delete this based off the Lemmy.world rules on spam

no they are a bit slow with it, the NA and EU servers are always the first ones since they already have those servers running from their beta (and also I would imagine those servers are significantly cheaper)

they do have australian servers? they just open them a few days after the start of the event and usually close them before the event ends due to the servers no longer being used, pretty sure the australian servers were only 2 days late this time which isn't bad, especially since the singapore servers were only 1 day late.

nice! I just got 4 missions in tonight, luckily they got Singapore servers open, currently playing from Australia so hoping they open their servers for it soon

If anyone is interested, I am happy to create a Lemmy.world/c/tf2 team if we have enough people (we can play in which ever region we have the most players for)

I believe F2P players also have lower drops than normal, if you want I can just send you any duplicate weapons if you're looking for any specific ones

I have one of those warhammer heroes models, not sure sure which paint I might need for the base however


Post your favourite tf2 item you have!
How about a fun thread? Just post a screenshot or image of your favourite item you own in the game.
I'll start with mine, got this 3rd place passtime medal B)


Thinking of getting into warhammer, which paints should I get for Skaven?
I'm new to warhammer and do not own any paints, since I've been playing Total War Warhammer 2, I've enjoyed playing as the skaven so I was hoping to get the vanguard skaven miniatures, however I do not have the book that would tell me which paints to get. Which paints will I want for the skaven? And are there any cheap alternative paints that might also work well?
