hi your comment is completley exaggerated and you clearly have no clue of the war paint market the jungle inferno cases are better 2 of the Halloween cases have better skins as well, (that is, better *grouping* of skin drops) your perspective is narrow because you watch tf2ubers. this case is good, that's it. it's the only winter case to be well received not better than the other cases still, lastly, every subpar case you insulted is made by the same community you just praised. have some taste wtf veiw: retired case series look more closely next time.
god please hell make it a crafting recipe to make that fabled metal sink they've always wanted: throw refined into the crafting table/post card/etc and get your selection of any old crate/case/box/etc
Can always implement the system from cs where discontinued cases are In a rare drop pool. That way there are still a small supply of cases coming into the game.
@@WaterBisquitte ive invested a l o t of money into tf2, and i would be fine if they re-added unusual miscs to be unboxable again so that people can actually afford them. This means that i can get more items for reasonable prices instead of what they are now. "oh no! my item that i was never going to sell lost over 10x its value! Anyways on my way to buy an all-class disco beat down misc!"
man I always wondered why this singular case in my inventory kept on becoming more and more expensive I always hoarded the cases over the years, and this is the only one that went so high. nice to finally see an explanation
I remember reading that War Paints fuck with the item server in some way which prevents Valve from going ham. Something about the sheer variety of war paints with their different wears, pattern applications, +stranges/unusuals idk
@@milliondollarmistake that makes sense. If you have alot of items with skins on them, the time it takes to refresh your loadout with loadout binds increases to unbearable levels.
Weapon War Paints in TF2 have always seemed like a strange case to me. On one hand if you like how a weapon works but hate how it looks it's nice to have another option to choose from
I would love to see more weapons fixed up to have War Paint compatibility. The Dragon's Fury is all ready to go on the Workshop, but most people don't know that the _Ambassador_ was set to let you use them too, but they just never flipped the switch.
Another reason why the Winter 2017 cases cost a lot more is probably because the drop rate for them wasn't as much compared to other updates (or maybe the event didn't last as long as the others.) The 2018 and 2019 comedic cases take up almost a whole page of my inventory, yet I only have 4 2017 comedic cases, and I don't remember selling any of them.
I hope Summer 2023 War Paint cases gets more attention coz every warpaint in that case (in my opinion) has a simple but slick design, especially steel brushed my favorite.
honestly another thing i think they should do is re-release some of these crates/cases because once they run out they arent getting our money from them anymore, so why not produce more of them however they do that
@@llmkursk8254 It's insane to me when I saw great blue's video on weapon reskins and he said a strange Boston basher worth 320,00$ was worth it, no the fuck it isn't lol
I just wish we had an in-game currency to buy them, rewarded to you by doing matches and contracts. That microtransactions thing going on because this is the kinda thing that encourages EA and Activision to do more of that kinda stuff to the industry.
One thing I like about Hazard Warning is how lower wears look natural. I have a strange pro ks well worn hazard warning wrench that looks good, not in spite of the low wear, but because of it!
Warpaints are like Pokemon, every single one is someone's favorite whether it be good or not. Really cool video, and I hope Volvo knock it out of the park for Summer. The ending is hilarious, I've got to try this eventually.
Honestly, I've been thinking about war paints myself. More specifically, war paints for the Grordbort weapons due to hearing about some alternative colors for the Pomson. Maybe once I dip myself into the world of TF2 modding, I could try creating war paints for them.
To be fair, halloween warpaints generally being better than christmas warpaints is just another example of a general rule of thumb; Halloween > Christmas
My favorite war paint still is Bomber Soul, and i love how it looks on Battle scared, almost of all the skin weapons i have are Bomber Souls Battle scared
It's sad how warpaint quality has declined to the point some of them are literally stock images, I really wonder what kind of criteria Valve uses to decide what makes it into the game for stuff like that to be there
I was lucky enough to see the forest for it's trees when this case came out and hunted the lower end paints that I liked, even trading a few gaudy Jazzys for some Geo-Teams and Dam-Mahoganys. I unboxed more 2017 cases than all other cases combined, and have the grand pleasure of numerous Geo-Team and Dam-Mahogany warpaints (and even one or two Neo-Tokyos) to show for it. It really sucks though when a player asks where they can get the paints and I have to tell them that it's from the 8 dollar 2017 case though. I really hope this next case is god-tier and not god-awful.
Thank you for not bringing attention to the Hypergon Warpaint, as now its price won't inflate and I'll be able to continue purchasing hundreds of them.
I shit you not, two of my best ever unboxes were from this case. I unboxed a strange FT miami element and an unusual FT Isotope Uranium. I ended up giving the unusual to a friend, but I put the Miami Element on a shotgun, and I still have it to this day.
Geometrical teams reminds me a lot of red and blue tiger from CoD 4. …actually now that I think about it Uranium looks a lot like Exclusion Zone from the remaster lol.
I think you’ll appreciate this: Every warpaint I unbox turns into a fish. I technically have over 850 fish in my collection if you count the 3 collectors as worth 200 each.
my favorite war paint is the dragonslayer war paint. Hands down. I dare say that its a borderline australium with dragon scales, which I is think is infinitely cooler. Most unfortunate its the only war paint valve WONT make more weapons for. One can always hope i guess.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm a huge sucker for the Winter 2019 case. Not sure what it is about it, but I love a lot of the skins. Especially Snow Covered. Low wears look too bright in my opinion, but the high wears? Hot damn they look great. I proudly rock a Battle-Scarred Degreaser with it. Love the muted red/blue with the sorta grey color that comes from the (in my opinion) oversaturated white being worn down.
Glacial Glazed is genuinely one of the most laziest warpaints in the entire damn game, it's just a stock image that was copy and pasted, no actual effort was put into it, it's genuinely disgusting and baffling that it managed to get into the game
This video felt kinda repetitive with how many times he said "this is [descriptor of its quality], but it's better than anything we've gotten lately!" over and over again.
before the 2017 war paint became rare, I was lucky enough to get a factory new Miami Element. Just wish I didn’t use it on the rocket launcher because a factory new one costs over 250 usd the last time I checked
Neo Tokyo for the win. Best war paint hands down. I've got 21 stranges in that skin. Good thing I got most of them before the price got all jacked up. 😮
does suck though you cant really get a lot of war paints anymore, without paying wat too much just for one item, just have to deal with what cases you get from drops when the events do happen, I do wish past cases could drop, have its own event or something
One big problem with the war paints is they're all just repeating patterns. They end up just being slapped across the mesh haphazardly. You look at some of the best warpaints, and it looks like it was designed as a texture to actually wrap around the weapon. That doesn't happen anymore.
I'd say I do like some of the brighter ones, like Neon-Ween and Ghost Town, but I'd also say I can be quite a fan of more muted ones, too. Sax Waxed is arguably one of my favorites up there with Swashbuckled. It feels like it strikes a nice balance between vibrancy and humility with its colors, and the details are enough to make the design interesting, while also not cluttering it up. Edit: Hottest take of the century incoming, Kiln & Conquer sucks ass.
I had a specialized killstreak strange alien tech grenade launcher for the longest time as my go to on demoman until I got a fac new strange sacred slayer war paint!
I don't know if this is related or not, but I'm currently trying to check my tf2 inventory to see if I have any of those cases, and it's unavailable. Which might mean I'm not the only one trying to look at it, or maybe somethings fucky with my steam account.

The fact that this case went up to $9 recently is absolutely insane, yall better hoard your skins from this case.

also, when you do can you make a Nothing but Pomson skin

as someone who recently watched zesty’s video on warpaints out of pure morbid curiosity, this was a nice palette cleanser
