[QUOTE=Katatonic717;31663614]What ever it may be, it won't involve the engineer. Why do they hate my favorite class?[/QUOTE] because he's credit to team.
I had a dream about an update last night. The topic was death and Demoman had a scythe. Just felt like the whole thread needed to know that.
[QUOTE=Mr_Scott;31665378]I had a dream about an update last night. The topic was death and Demoman had a scythe. Just felt like the whole thread needed to know that.[/QUOTE] You had a dream about the demoman getting a melee weapon. Every day the same dream.
[QUOTE=Scarabix;31665400]You had a dream about the demoman getting a melee weapon. Every day the same dream.[/QUOTE] Good man, are you trying to imply that a Demoman actually uses any another kind of weapon than the melee ones? What have you been smoking lately?
[QUOTE=Rebbe;31665971]Good man, are you trying to imply that a Demoman actually uses any another kind of weapon than the melee ones? What have you been smoking lately?[/QUOTE] Robin's personnal stock. Turns out he didn't appreciate.
Aye, the TNT woulda been cool, kinda like the MIRV grenade. If it's put in, it should have a charged throwing mechanic like the Sticky Launcher, so it can be flung great distances as well as short ones. Also, should Demo get Bottles that he could drink from, that give temporary benefits and drawbacks when drunk? I know the secondary fire is reserved for the secondary weapon (Sticky Detonate, Targe Charge), but one could easily have the Reload button trigger the drinking of the Bottles, since it's not like you need to reload a melee weapon and thus the button is unused when wielding melee. It'd fit with his character of a drunkard demolitionist quite a bit more than that of a blade-wielding Knight, don't you think?
[QUOTE=Psychopath12;31655004]You're damn right it would be terrible. Too powerful for too little effort on the Demoman's part and then utterly useless against people who know how to avoid a stationary object. :I[/QUOTE] Hacker or Flak Jacket. :v:
[QUOTE=Scarabix;31665400]You had a dream about the demoman getting a melee weapon. Every day the same dream.[/QUOTE] Every day the same dream. Every night a new weapon. Dear god help us.
[QUOTE=Mentlegen;31666420]Every day the same dream. Every night a new weapon. Dear god help us.[/QUOTE] Your prayer has been absorbed by the darkness of melee weapon submissions.
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;31666381]I'm done getting dissapointed all the time. I won't get my tinfoil hat for rubbish like this! Although Team Fortress is nearing it's 15th Birthday and so is the 119th update after the last 119th update... No! [B]No![/B] I won't be fooled, this is all just a coincidence! There won't be two more grockets, raid mode, all the medals and translator's torment were all propably scrapped and everything else is lies! [I]But a man can hope...[/I][/QUOTE] Pessimism is the death of hope, and the death of mankind. Shun pessimism whenever possible, keep hope and faith. (I remember watching that shit on ABC1 when I was a "latchkey kid" of sorts)
Well, I just thought about it. Team Fotress' birthday will be at August 24th. Exactly two months before that ,the Über Update popped. Does that mean something? :tinfoil:
Well, we'll find out whatever in 13 days. For some of us, I think this is gonna be a LONG 13 days. Hopefully my writing, the Torchwood episodes, and Dragon Age 2 (yes, i'm playing it, and it doesn't really feel all that bad even if it's a little watered-down), will help tide me over.

WOO!
[QUOTE=Roxerg;31666738]wait. 13 days? where? really? WOO![/QUOTE] Calm down matey, don't get your hopes up for something that has a very distinct possibility of not happening. A blog post on the subject perhaps but I wouldn't expect a full blown update. We all learned from the 100th patch speculation.
[QUOTE=Mentlegen;31666611]23rd, brand-new all zombie map pack for Black Ops. 24th, possible huge update for TF2. I love August.[/QUOTE] Disregard black ops, acquire updates.
Ah crap. I'm going on holidays on the 22nd. Won't be back for a week
The next update will be some Engineer update...
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;31669878]They did tease the last Engineer update on the last 119th update and with the next 119th update coming soon... NO NO I WON'T BE FOOLED![/QUOTE] TINFOIL HATS
i really do hope if it does happen its some engineer stuff, i mean wheres the love for us engineer players its like we are a neglected pet they keep "forgetting" to feed [editline]11th August 2011[/editline] but i love playing heavy as well so its not all bad
I don't care if they give 3 more rocket launchers to the soldier and other 5 melee weapons to demoman, all I want is a second misc slot
[QUOTE=leonthefox;31676321]I don't care if they give 3 more rocket launchers to the soldier and other 5 melee weapons to demoman, all I want is a second misc slot[/QUOTE] Disregard esthetic, acquire texans.
I expect the Medieval Update to be officialy released, [i]soon[/i]
[QUOTE=MasterG;31678191]In all seriousness, I play demoman all the time. No, not demoknight, demoman. If they release one more fucking melee weapon... all I want is a few more grenade launchers and sticky bomb launchers. Is that too much to ask?[/QUOTE] If you've read my ramblings in the past, you'd know that it's pretty difficult to make one that's both interesting and won't fuck all balance up. Scottish Resistance and Loch-n-Load are relatively balanced, but they aren't that interesting to many. Ullapool Caber is interesting, but it isn't exactly balanced with the Bottle. Demoman has a precarious balance. I just wish that the TF team would think to themselves, "Fuck it, let's test it in the beta," but nope; we're kinda left in the dark as to what they're doing or planning on doing.

I mean, I love being able to test new weapons, but it kind of ruins the fun of finding out the stats for the new weapons, like the shananana (the reflex).

Even giving us a simple, "yeah, we were trying x, y, and z out but it didn't work out. Here's a blog post about why we wanted to try it and then decided against it" much like the Repair Node's blog post.
[QUOTE=Jetamo;31647806]As you know, during the last big Steam Translation Server leak, a couple of itemsets were leaked. We assumed they would come with the Uber Update [/QUOTE] UBER UPDATE part 2 still hasnt been done [QUOTE] My theory is that they're building up towards a Mannconomy Anniversary update in September, a year after trading was added to Team Fortress 2. [/QUOTE] what updates have anniversarys besides the halloween, christmas, and summer [QUOTE] Well, we don't know. Popular theories that they'll come with the next update, but I myself think Raid Mode will come as part of Halloween, along with a few new Boss Monsters. [/QUOTE] yeah probbably [QUOTE] nicknamed the "Stylin' Update" by some second misc slot added to the game [/QUOTE] these will most likely be in the same update

But you know Valve, they like having surprises that might need to be fixed later.
[QUOTE=ironman17;31666297]one could easily have the Reload button trigger the drinking of the Bottles, since it's not like you need to reload a melee weapon and thus the button is unused when wielding melee.[/QUOTE] Taunting could also work. Also, where is the hint to the gardener pyro in the F2P video?
My speculation is that a everyone will get a free Mann Co. Hat on the Mann Co anniversary.
