Bring Halloween Spells Back!

[[SVS] JoshL117]

The spells that could be applied to items, such as Exorcism, Die Job, footprints, etc, were the most fun of TF2. But now they're a thing of the past; restricting them to ONLY available on items from previous years (except the year they first came out)

In other words, items applied with spells AFTER they first came out are the only ones that will keep their spells; items applied with spells when they first came out, not so lucky.

In anticipation of their return, I moved all unused spells to an alt for when they returned. Since 2014, they have not returned; subsequently ruining future Scream Fortress events for those who have not had the chance to experience spells firsthand.

This is my plea to the TF Team to reimplement spells to INCREASE the fun of Scream Fortress, rather than relying on souls to "level up" some gargoyle and obtaining Halloween restricted items. While spells could be applied to, just about, ANY item and would spice up appearances; rather than drab ol' Scream Fortress items that are, for the most part, unpaintable.

Wont happen sadly.

I was lucky enough to experience spells before they were gone. Ever since that first scream fortress I had hoped for another chance at them.

I was an idiot that spent more time looking for cosemetics instead of spells. Boy was I an idiot.
Last year I went on the market and bought a bunch of stranges with exorcism on it. I was able to get a strange shotgun with exorcism for not even $1 more!

If they brought back old spells traders would be pissed (I would be too) because spelled items are rare and are more expensive than the normal items because they are now limited it cost 5 keys for a Halloween fire phlog at the moment that price would crash if they brought spells back.

Suck it up, buttercup. Most of us don't want to use spells as a cheap attempt to make profit. We just want to have fun.
Go back to upping the price of keys and running the Mannconomy down the toilet.

So getting a small extra effect that only shows up during a certain event is fun? Damn sorry that I don’t want spells to come back because it would punish people who worked up to earn those items. Instead you want to have valve spoon feed you them to you so you don’t have to put the time in effort to earn the items you rather have those items for free.

Except many community servers have Halloween mode enabled by default, allowing users to have Halloween restricted items and effects to be used all year.

it would punish people who worked up to earn those items.

How would free effects punish people? It is (or was when it was availabe) a free drop, they don't have to earn it.

Instead you want to have valve spoon feed you them to you so you don’t have to put the time in effort to earn the items you rather have those items for free.

Again, you didn't have to "earn" the spells, they were free drops. Plus, you'd already have the item(s) you'd want to apply the spell to; so you saying that they'd have to "earn the items" to apply a spell to, rather than have Valve "spoon feed" the items to you, is rediculous.

If by "worked up to earn" means "save up money to buy them on the Market" to you, then you're a lost cause. Because anyone willing to overprice a free item that can be recieved FREELY in the game is outright stupid. It's trash traders like you who are the reason keys are no longer 2.33ref, it's people like you who are the reason Valve probably removed spells from the game in the first place; so people wouldn't turn them into cash-grabs, ruining it for people who actually wanted to use them for fun.

Also, you wouldn't know the magic of using spells because you've only been on Steam for less than a year (Dec 25, 2016) Spells were introduced in SF 2012 and removed in 2014, after SF 2013.

Valve should bring them back. When spells first came out my pc physically didn't play steam games randomly one day, and it was like that for 1 year. I tried everything to fix it but when it started working again I already missed it. When the 2nd time they were out came along I was stupid enough to try and get the cosmetics on helltower instead of the spells because I didn't realize how cool and fun they are. TBH I got only 1 spell that year, pumpkin bombs... but I was so stupid I put it on my vintage gunslinger... Having purchased some weapons with a spell I really wish I went for the spells instead. I don't even know all the spells they had, but the ones I do know about seem cool and awsome.

Edit: I think adding spells in the game would give the new players something else to love about the game. It will be just another reason why haloween is everyone's favorite time of year in tf2.

tbh I love seeing the old veterans still playing and caring for the game.
