i also had more kills than 12 (18 to be exactly), i dont remember the date when i do this, but was the halloween after the Helltower add because after that i play every halloween event completely.
I remember playing on a custom server, where there's a button that sets every bosses' health to 1 HP, back then I used to hangout in that server and farmed Merasmus kills. I have no screenshots of this, though I remember my record being somewhere between the Lv. 200 - 240 range
Dont forget how much you can abuse those constant truces as an engineer, being able to freely place your sentry setup wherever the hell you want while everyone is trying to kill merasmus. Merasmus is an engineer's best friend
@@leonardo9259 Yeah i reckon the stock is stronger than the scottish resistance. If you don't have the worlds best tunnel vision like how its meant to be used, its not very useful
fun fact: the default health for bosses (+ additional health given for each player in the server) can be easily modified via convars; on a full 24-player official valve server, the horseless headless headmann (and other bosses based off of its code) spawn at 7,800 health points alongside with any additional damage resistances
"Welcome to the Salty Spittoon, How tough are ya?" How tough am I? *How tough am I?* I Killed Merasmus at level 11 "So?" I didn't complain about him spawning once. "Oh r-right this way! Sorry to keep you waiting."
@@ghomera not only the tiny ones, i was engi once, with lvl 3 nest, and i thought skeletons were no problem, then the huge ass skeleton king swipe me out and then the enemy team comes and clean my nest
I don't understand the complaints, I had a great time being a cloak and dagger spy and blocking the health pack so that people got bumped off into the pit
I miss when there was no 'Truce' mechanic, and you had to wrangle 24 people on a server to work together to kill Merasmus, I'm nostalgic for that time, you could really feel the nice energy in the servers when it FINALLY worked
@@Ultimaximus it was cooler to have Merasmus running amok while both teams fought it out like normal, while you got the rare and awesome sight of a legit kill on him
i guess they really wants us to ignore him then? also halloween is fun and all until you're in a truce and somehow got completely stuck inside someone else from the other team
*_Valve, pls fix_* *How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man?* There's a good thing about Ghost Fort though, cheaters wouldn't want to play in that map
Believe it or not, the Blutsauger is also very, very strong against him, especially at close(ish) range. The health return you get from it basically makes you immortal, too (unless a bombinomicon one-shots you). My son and I experimented with the Blutsauger on our own TF2 server a few years ago, and just the two of us were able to get through Merasmus level 3 no problem, and no hacks, etc.
I think Ghost Fort was quite fun when the whole truce thing didn't exist. People could still kill each other if they wanted to when Merasmus had spawned, and if he was ignored by enough people, he would never be beaten and thus would never level up, avoiding his faster spawning. Lack of truce also meant that if people didn't want to fight Merasmus, fights would be a lot more chaotic, which was a nice way to mix things up from regular TF2 gameplay.
Remember that the code used in this video is from the leak from at least three years ago. I don't remember Merasmus spawning at such an extreme rate until just this year. They've broken something to do with his timer since the code leak.
@@TheDJBrojo The code says this: If Merasmus' level is 3 or less, run the function called "StartHalloweenBossTimer" with these 2 values: tf_merasmus_spawn_interval and tf_merasmus_spawn_interval_variation. If Merasmus' level is higher than 3 then run the function called "StartHalloweenBossTimer" with the value 60. Unless the function uses something other than seconds for the timer, then it looks like shounic was right.
From what I understand; when Ghostfort first came out, many players complained Merasmus didn't appear enough, So the TF team over-compensated and have never really gone back to balance things out.
My hat says I got him at level 31. That was on a MLP Heroes server where killing merasmus took less time than usual since having on each team a multicolored horse with over 3000 HP does help a lot, especially if your team had applejack, then she could just spam floating level 2 sentries whenever she had 25% harmony level, which didn't take long, 100% and she spawns mini sentries all over the map exactly where each team member is standing on (the sentries destroy themselves after 10 and 20 seconds respectively). If you can't wrap your head around this, think of it like VS Saxton Hale/Freak Fortress, but in vanilla and each team has their own hale while doing normal vanilla stuff. This server I mentioned no longer exists since mid 2015, it was a true clusterfuck, a fun clusterfuck and I pity those who never experienced it, brony or not, it was an unique concept that no one else tried to replicate.
My record for ghost fort back was back before casual matches. We got it to 13 and on the 14th the server crashed. Stayed up till 5am on a school night to do it. Good times fun memories
I have my Merasmus hat at 14. I seem to remember it being a round where we got him like 5 times so people just decided to not cap anymore (or kill anyone capping) and use as many Huntsman Snipers as possible. Eventually his damage, range and HP got too crazy at 15 so we couldn't kill him anymore.
I’ve actually encountered a level 11 merasmus on a x10 server. The spawning wasn’t changed, we just killed him really fast. My skull island topper shows level 11
I remember being in a match that it went for so long, half of the members of each team began going engineer and using the Rancho Relaxo taunt behind the crates next to the pit. It was a miracle we even finished that round, just to start another....
Longest match I had on Ghost Fort was 2.5 hours long during 2019 Scream Fortress, even though I joined while round was already in progress. That casual match was found with matchmaking system and that was most frustrating TF2 experience I had in a while. Sometimes neither team managed to cap point before Merasmus spawns!
Darn, and here I was thinking a full server of Machina snipers holding a full charge headshot firing squad would be better at putting him down. How naive I was in wanting to forget that stickybombs exist.
Honestly I love fighting Merasmus... But really, he should only get fought once per round at the last minute mark. It'd make a good way for the opposing team to, at the very least, reposition a bit and prepare to overtake the point once he's gone.
i naturally speak faster but i guess i also have a bit of a speech impediment so i'm experimenting with pausing when ""problematic"" words come up so i can enunciate them better :0
ah! well first thanks, but i suppose then, the question is, if you feel it's gotten better or worse? or perhaps i should really just absolutely not care, and simply speak 100% naturally, regardless of how good or bad it is 🤔
@@shounic it's fine and most people won't even notice as it's very slight, and most people take on a different manner of speech if they are trying to explain a topic in detail anyways, which i had figured was the reason here. i only commented on it because i just thought the comparison i came up with was oddly accurate
Highest level of merasmus I've killed is 13. The longest game of my life where everyone bitched at each not o kill Merasmus because he almost completely disappears if you dont kill him, but still killed him anyway and bitched at each other for killing him. Truly a purgatory of a match
The first time I experienced Merasmus, we had to endure *_nine levels_* of him And our team was about a minute away from capping after the second or third level.

the worst part about merasmus is that there's no gaben quote at the end of the video
As a wise man ocne said
"God dammit Merasmus stop taking drugs"
"God dammit Merasmus get back to Canada!"
so merasmus actually spawns every 50 seconds at 4+ level not every minute
void CMerasmus::StartRespawnTimer() const

{
if( GetLevel() StartHalloweenBossTimer( tf_merasmus_spawn_interval.GetFloat() ,tf_merasmus_spawn_interval_variation.GetFloat() );

else

@@shounic Idk what you said, but i guess you corrected him
@@TheDJBrojo he showed the timer for merasmus’ spawn. It shows that 60 seconds pass after the third kill until he spawns again.

The code says this:
If Merasmus' level is 3 or less, run the function called "StartHalloweenBossTimer" with these 2 values: tf_merasmus_spawn_interval and tf_merasmus_spawn_interval_variation.

Unless the function uses something other than seconds for the timer, then it looks like shounic was right.
