If it is released and my hat is getting in I hope they require my permission to add it since I won't be able to answer. I'll be at work.
"Oh hey! 56 new posts! Must be something important!

My hope for tonight is swiftly, swiftly dwindling. Which makes me sad.
in a way, this is a blast from the past also.
The Sacrifice was coming out a week after the MannConomy update, and we got L4D2 promos. With the Manniversary, maybe we'll be getting some more Portal 2 promos to go with the DLC.
This is all crazy nostalgic. It's like I'm a year in the past or something
TF2 updates: 80% Hats, 10% other items and 10% actual updates.
But I'm getting into TF2 again. It's hard, but I still love this game.

The last few updates were kind of disappointing in the hat department. The Uber update had one extra hat, the rest were all set related.
Part of what made me enjoy the Mannconomy update was the sheer variety of all the stuff we were getting.

Which is why we're thinking this is a Manni-versary right? From what i saw in the leak, there was a lot of variety in the hats.

The update literally is just hats (and misc items).

yep, there were tons of variety in the hats in the schema leak. The schema leak looked more like Mannconomy part two and less like the Uber update style of updating.
Which is good. I don't know what it is about it, but I somewhat disliked many of the items in the Uber update, and the overall way it was handled.
[QUOTE=Zadrave;32557928]The update literally is just hats (and misc items).[/QUOTE]
The schema was obviously incomplete. Remember, a new Airblast attribute was added to the beta, and we know the Griefblower and garden pack are coming for Pyro (from the F2P trailer), so it seems likely we'll get that.
Also I doubt they'd waste the fantastic Demoman pirate pack on dumb reskins of items that don't even work that great together.
i just want the heavy chainsaw, or some engineer weapons. A hat-only update would be very lame.

Makes me wonder what the hell kinda stats they can put on a bottle of scotch.
If it has a taunt effect i'll laugh pretty damn hard.
Yea, a taunt effect would be great. Drink the bottle, gain some health, but become drunk for a few seconds. Maybe have it do -25% damage so it doesn't look totally op compared to the bottle.
It would work great with the voice lines i-ghost added to the bottle after taunting.
with the style of the hats that were in the leak, it fits in with completely the mannconomy and the anniversary thing.
as it has been mentioned, the guy who visited valve saw big things were planned for each month, and the only other chance a big update like like with the items shown could be november (halloween in october and christmas in december), but it's unlikely as the items shown fit in so well with the anniversary. well, unless they are keeping it for november but nothing major has happened this month
Since the pack doesn't have a shield, for the pegleg they could do some testing with explosive resistance. Especially since Demoman would be lacking a leg, so the self-damage taken from Sticky Jumper would be lower... or something
Oh man, that taunt effect sounds hilarious.
The screen would go all blurry and hazy while Demoman is blurting out complete gibberish. But hey! He got some health back, so it's all good!
...What, it's strong stuff!

Something like the Demoman's very own Gunboats would be nice.
It would make sense. It would have much better resistance than the Gunboats, that go all around instead of just for Sticky-jumps, but after the first explosion near his feet (Soldier's rocket/Detonator/Stickies/etc), his speed goes down 25% because it's wooden. (The resistance continues for Sticky-jumps, but nothing else.)
It's a work in progress.
so I think the question on everyone's mind is whether they'll use YM's custom backpack for the Shwaben Charger
I'm going with they don't until someone bugs them and then they'll add it 4 months later.
It also won't have new sounds

Well, taunt effects are [i]sort of[/i] in the works, seeing how there's a "taunt is hold button" attribute and "taunt is hi-five" attribute added.

(sorry YM. I know you've improved since then.)
Ive been re watching the F2P video and I cant find the Griefblower stuff. Can anyone give me a pic?
[QUOTE=ned_ballad;32557931]

I agree, I love the way it looks.
Then again, the Nine Iron and the Pummeler are both pretty cool looking too and they're reskins. Still, they did say that it was an experiment and it seems that it wasn't too well-received, so hopefully we won't see reskins like them again.

For a very brief moment in the same shot where you can see the new medigun, you can see a Pyro swinging the scythe from that set. Really easy to miss.
[QUOTE=Potato-Pugilist;32558163]Ive been re watching the F2P video and I cant find the Griefblower stuff. Can anyone give me a pic?[/QUOTE]
The Griefblower itself isn't shown, i recall. But you see the scythe off to the side.
You also catch a glimpse at some stuff from the Soldier Dumpster pack and i believe Mean Medicine.

Wow... actually. I think the high-five taunt might be for the Portal 2 DLC, maybe a promo.
