So what's next for crates? - Games

All the classes are done...what'll you think they'll do next? A second series of stranges? Crates with a higher unusual rate (ha) What?

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;32016664]All the classes are done...what'll you think they'll do next? A second series of stranges? Crates with a higher unusual rate (ha) What?[/QUOTE] debuff weapons

I foresee a crate that will contain all the new TS paints (i.e. Air of Debonair, Value of Teamwork) and possibly other polycount strange weapons (i.e. Degreaser, Eternal Reward, Blackbox). As I see it, Valve will continue to experiment with the crate contents to create a incentive for players to purchase mann. co. keys, and the change from uncrating regular weapons to uncrating strange quality was a small testament to that.

More Strange Weapons? They haven't done Strange Scottish Resistance or Strange Ullapool Caber, yet.

Obviously they're going to do more rounds of Strange weapons. Every single non-exclusive weapon in the game will eventually be Strange, if Valve is still money-making off of it (and they probably will be). Obviously they're going to do more hats, because there will always be more hats to uncrate. Obviously they're going to have more time-limited promotions, with whatever content is recent to that promotion being easier to access. and obviously this cycle will continue for some while, as more promos, weapons, and hats are added to the game. if you're asking about the distant future of TF2, when the playerbase has moved on, the money has dried up, and the patches are limited to obscure bugfixes for the sake of the veterans, that point is seriously debatable. Will crates be craftable, finally? Will crafting in general be easier for the sake of access, or will everything stay roughly the same as an incentive to promote Steam Trading for games / whatever else comes out in the future?

Oh how I would love a strange black box.

Team Captain to bring it's value down, just like they did the the Veil.

I hope they make a Strange Original.

too soon

They'll have to make more weapons, to fill in the next crates.

crates. crates never change.

Strange Fireaxe. Why a powerjack, but not the fireaxe?

The classes aren't done at all, though - there's still a ton of weapons without strange variants.

Simply loop the classes' weapons until they've used all the unlocks.

Special tokens that will make your weapons more overpower.

The only strange item I cared about was the strange jarate. Now I own Hale's Own Portable Piss Bottle.

Strange Tag - Make a named weapon of your choice strange. Mind you they must be named first.
