[QUOTE=smashbrother101;33511383]Cow-Mangler actually fits the era. Ever watch any 60's sci-fi?[/QUOTE]
There's a difference between fitting the era and fitting the artstyle. If someone made an extremely realistic model of a weapon from the 60s, it still breaks the artstyle, just not the era.
Not that I think the Cow Mangler breaks either of the two.
the art style is always evolving. Now that the mangler is in the game, its part of the artstyle.
Not the original artstyle, but the current artstyle of the game.

The Pyro.
[QUOTE=Hell-met;33510703]I'm personally going to email Robin if they pull off reskins again.
They literally have no reason to exist. Crafting recipes solve the "pay-to-win" problem, and they already did this method with the RIFT melees.
I don't care if the stats are garbage, all games have bad items. But it's still alot more interesting to choose your loadout from a handful of unique items.[/QUOTE]
Did f00l say anything about it?

Valve released their LOD tutorial and it features the Machina
[url]https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Level_of_detail[/url]
trouble is, the Machina currently does not have LODs in-game.
maybe a big LOD update coming?
[QUOTE=Uzbekistan;33512089]Did f00l say anything about it?[/QUOTE]
F00l cited the reason for all of the recent reskins as being the result of people at Valve getting their feelings hurt by pay-to-win accusations from the larger F2P audience.
Which is crap.
If I were a contributor I would be damn offended if my item got in-game and it was just a reskin because someone at Valve got their feelings hurt.
Though I suppose that without new weapons, Valve has been able to work more proactively. The last update was wonderful.
I don't quite see why you would want a christmas themed map and boss. Haloween map and boss is silly, but at least it has some potential, boss-wise. A christmas boss is something I don't quite want actually, and I think bosses should be haloween-only.
I'd take stat weapons over silly christmas stuff any day.

An Abominable Snowman/Evil Snowman would be interesting to see.
As much as I like the Santa hat contributions, I feel the first santa hat in TF2 should be made by Valve.
mandatory TF2 update coming in a half hour

Populus, any chance of custom Doe's Dumpster Device rockets when the pack finally gets ingame? :v:

Just going to voice my opinion. It may seem more sillier than a Halloween themed boss, but I don't think that bosses should be constricted to Halloween. Bosses in TF2 surprisingly work, and I would love to see even more of them.
Maybe they could be more generalized for average TF2 play, but a one for Christmas, still doesn't push the boundary of unfitting or stupid.
Plus, more weapons means more balancing done by the TF2 staff, whereas a boss is generally something new and can just be plopped in (with less stress involved, I mean).

I highly doubt it.
Edit: Looks like I was wrong. :v:
they added a browser based Mann Co store to TF2.com

Here's hoping it's been thoroughly tested. Would hate to see some strange exploit result from this.

Why I do believe this WOULD push the boundary of both unfitting and stupid.
Christmas has no potential for bosses. Bosses are what makes haloween updates unique, and I certainly don't want more of this holiday stuff.
Also, your post openly states you want valve to stay lazy with weapon devellopement, and that's what they have been doing for a half year. We ain't even got new weapons since the last boss fight.
if they are going to release another boss, I'm pretty sure it's going to be another "gift" boss that will encourage scout rushes and will get all the other servers deserted, in which case I'll gladly take even the mean medicine pack over an event.

I don't understand what you mean by, "christmas has no potential for bosses".
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;33547440]You know, in most cultures, Santa Claus wasn't originally a jolly gift delivering fatty. In Finland for example, before the Coca Cola Santa, he was a horned man which scared children. Kind of like Krampus.
And not to mention Rare Exports.[/QUOTE]
In France we have "père fouettard" which translates to "whipsfather", who would kick the arses of nasty children on christmas.
I still don't think we should have more than one boss fight/scoutfest in one year, and that we need new weapons more than another boss.

A christmas boss would look stupid and unfitting. That is the last thing I want right after a halloween event.

All righty. Now I think the problem here isn't communication anymore.
You're just not using your... IMAGINATION!
