Well, I'm about to craft these hats to see if I get something better, since I never wear them. Let me know if anyone is interested in these before the craft machine eats them up.

What would you want for the Drill hat (A Stout Shako work?), and why would you burn a set hat with ridiculous bonuses (milkman)?

Ideally, you shouldn't craft any of the Vintage items or the Milkman. All of them can be traded for better than 1-to-1 for a hat you prefer that is non-Vintage (or 1-to-1 for Vintage), which any hat you craft will be anyway.
Yeah, I think it got over tuned-down from beta, where it was quite silly. For a while, it was like doing a better sticky-jump but for less self-damage.

Probably the worst time to try and pick this game back up.
Is there still a steam community room? Logic tells me play Scout, heart tells me play Sniper.
Quick Fix and Tomislav are probably getting nerfs as well.
Heavy Medics were seriously difficult to take down last night. I nailed a Heavy with a regular Demo Pill and then a Crit Pill and he just shrugged it off.
Oh noes, a can't go waltzing around killing everything in his sight.
Quick-Fix is fine. If the heavy was overhealed you wouldn't have killed him with those two pipes, and the default healing rate for the new medigun is only about 8.5 hp/s better than the regular medigun. If the heavy was ubered by it then you would'n't have killed him anyway (by design), and if he were ubered by the regular medigun you still wouldn't have killed him anyway. So what's the problem?
Tomislav is terrible simply because there were so many fucking heavies last night, nevermind the spin-up time taking away one of the heavies weaknesses. It wasn't uncommon to see at least 3-4 of the fuckers unless my team had a good sniper/spy, who inevitably made them rage and play a different class.
So I just crafted the Spy's Rose. Of course I don't play Spy, but it's still pretty need.
Badman, I'm pretty set on Soldier hats; I wear the Honcho, which is my favorite hat he has.
Edit: Also, I have a second Grimme Plague Hat.
Yeah, I'm just looking for something to where with my dress uniform and I'd never use the shako. You could always craft it, if you want to trade still.

So the effects of free to play are becoming a bit more apparent. I played in random pubs where there were a bunch of people with just crazy names filled with symbols and general awfulness. On the plus side there were a bunch of spies who did not know what the hell they were doing. On the bad side, my steam had 4 engineers who had no idea what they were doing. I'm sure this will smooth over once people learn how to play the game.
I really want to play, but I'm not one who usually plays multiplayer games, especially multiplayer FPS's. So every time I go to the server list (The matchmaking or whatever doesn't seem to work) I look at it for a bit, before shuddering and closing the game. I think it might be partly the fact that I don't think I'm very GOOD at the game, so I don't want to embarass myself.

Favorite the PA servers listed in the OP and enter the queue so you can join when a slot opens. Nobody will care or judge you, and PA peeps are fun to play with.

A direct pill hit and a direct crit hit deal over 400 damage. Couple that with everyone else also firing on the Heavy, and then basically anyone that's not a Heavy also saying that it's OP means that Quick Fix is probably not fine and that there is a problem.
Comparing Quick Fix to Uber fails because Quick Fix is not Uber.

Megaheal was active. The damage from your first pipe was almost instantly negated, and you didn't get a good pipe crit (approximately 330 damage max, which means you could have potentially insta-gibbed the heavy). Depending on when you engaged the pair, another medic could have overhealed the heavy.
Incidentally, had you done that to any other Megahealed target they would have died. Big surprise.

100 health/sec makes it a ghetto uber, one that is still vulnerable to being backstabbed, headshot, and crit (especially in the medic's case).
Couple that with everyone else also firing on the Heavy
Says nothing about the classes firing on them, how many players "everyone" really is, weapons being used and whether or not said players were firing from the optimal range for that weapon. An engineer standing way in the back shooting his shotgun at the heavy isn't going to do shit, nor is a heavy at range firing his minigun at another heavy who is simply being healed, nevermind a Megaheal.
and then basically anyone that's not a Heavy also saying that it's OP means that Quick Fix is probably not fine and that there is a problem.
People whine and bitch about new items, more at 11. I have yet to see you make a decent argument as to how the Quick-Fix is OP. Just because the heavy isn't literally invulnerable? Try to make a decent argument as to how it is overpowered compared to the standard medigun without resorting to "But he wasn't invincible!".

Hey man, it's not like I wanted it. I'm still looking for the Scout's socks.
boy howdy I'm never doing that again!

Came out with the Familiar Fez, 4 Reclaimed, and an unused Strange Eyelander.
They got the feeling of surprising the enemy team with a ubercharge and mowing them down perfectly right; I got goosebumps.

Pyro is fun, nice and simple.

Game is still wildly chaotic. I don't think it's well suited for sniping.
O_o
You don't know what you're talking about.
So, Meet the Pyro in 2013 then?
You just don't know the good sniping spots yet.
I killed you quite a few times, and each time you were really close to me and were trying to no-scope. No-scoping is not very effective.
