Got the update, but the item server and store aren't responding
nothing new in the crafting blueprints.

The schema update went in a teeny bit later.
OH BOY
Ellis's are craftable now
Y'know, I was over in this thread where a guy suggested a new class, and it got me thinking. Instead of trying to make different classes, we should be focusing on sub-classes. Loadouts are kind of like this; you can customise any of the 9 classes however you want with their affaliated weapons, though in terms of subclasses i'm thinking more about having them being defined by their equipment, which we indeed have.
For example the vanilla Soldier is primarily a kind of mobile shock trooper, capable of dealing plenty of damage to multiple targets using his rockets, as well as being able to access hard to reach locations with the help of some explosive agility. However the Soldier also has a support-based subclass accessible via the use of backpacks and teammates; the standard Buff Banner boosts allied firepower when deployed, the Battalion's Backup helps to reduce the damage fellow players take, and the Concheror allows allies to heal themselves by shooting enemies. This subclass had no name, since to the best of my knowledge players haven't given names to most playstyles except the Demoknight, so i'll go ahead and call it the Bugler, since that's how the Soldier activates his auras.
Another example is the Demoknight, a variant on the Demoman class. The Demoknight is primarily a melee-based subclass, utilising mobility shields such as the Chargin' Targe and Splendid Screen to augment their melee damage, increase their resilience to pyrotechnics and explosives, and more importantly move quickly across the battlefield. The resistances make them good for tanking against Pyros, Soldiers, and other Demomen, plus the presence of a yelling Scottish berserker on the battlefield is sure to turn a few heads. In effect, they can serve as a tank of sorts, adrawing aggro and soaking up some damage whilst the less durable classes benefit from the distraction and are granted valuable seconds to do whatever they needed to do.
What i'm proposing here is to make subclasses more apparent amongst the 9 classes of TF2, a system whereby players can know which weapons suit which playstyles for their respective classes, learn which playstyles adhere to which classes, and benefit from using the appropriate tools for the right playstyle. For example, buffpacks for the Soldier could be labelled "Suitable for: Bugler", and are suited for Soldiers who work in groups with allies, whilst certain melee weapons and shields could be labelled as "Suitable for: Demoknight", meaning they're most useful when the player plays in the tanking style of the Demoknight. As more subclasses pop up for different classes, specialised weapons could be implemented to best suit their respective subclasses, such as a Rocket Launcher for Buglers that decreases the amount of charge required to deploy an aura, or a Flamethrower that does more damage when the Pyro is close to an allied building or an objective (a sort of guardian subclass for Pyro, intended for Pyros that stand guard and protect what needs to be protected).

Both of those examples were exactly what he was talking about.
maybe he wanted to make it more like a powerpoint presentation.
Yea, Demoknight is practically a different class
so is support Pyro, able to hang around with Degreaser/Manmelter/Homewrecker and baby-sit nests and put out fires. With the Manmelter you can pretty much eliminate the threat of fire if you dedicate yourself to just alt-firing.
I once built up 20+ crits from the Manmelter, it was pretty nuts and my team was never on fire.

Manmelter is awesome. I saved a heavy's life by holding m2 as a pyro was trying to puff and flare him. Had about 12 crits in 5 seconds.
