Major Update Speculation Thread V4: Tonight's the Night For QR Codes - Games

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36492210]Honestly, the Christmas Update was practically pay for. That was the dumbest thing ever making everyone except key buyers wait a week for them to drop, then a MONTH for recipes to be added.[/QUOTE] and only item contributors got a free key too

Everyone needs to simmer down. I'm sure Valve will throw us a bone tomorrow. [sp]If not, we know where they live.[/sp] [t]http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs50/i/2009/338/b/7/Meet_the_Pyro_by_WakaBee.jpg[/t] [sp]Source: http://wakabee.deviantart.com/art/Meet-the-Pyro-145693318[/sp]

[QUOTE=Robmortar;36492231]and only item contributors got a free key too[/QUOTE] Festives were fine (they're just reskins) and the cosmetics were meh (hard for me to get mad at hats), but locking the weapons with stats behind a pay wall for awhile was bad. And not giving recipes for a month was inexcusable.

Do you think summer scout items will return this year? I'm wondering if I should trade them for a huge profit and hope they do or not.

The Summer Sale is rumored to start on Wednesday. That means they'd only have a week after this update to put together a Summer Update. I don't see it happening, at least not tied to the Summer Sale. But there has to be a time for the Ice Cream Sandvich and ND's Soldier packs, so I'm hoping for a late July summer update.

I'm just scared that the summer items will come back and drop the value by a shitton.

The community made weapons didn't drop for a week, only the Weta items dropped from day 1. The community items couldn't even be token crafted.

I got a feeling in my gut. Something big is gonna happen on the last day, aside from Meet the Pyro. something more then new weapons and hats, something big. Oh, and Adult Swim stuff getting explained.

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;36492354]Please don't. They still dropped and most people got atleast one weapon for free and could trade it for basically any other weapon, except for the Phlogistinator. Most people got what they wanted like this on the very first day of the update, me included.[/QUOTE] I don't know what version of reality you were in during that update, but it wasn't this one.

well maybe that last panel on the bottom will say: "now watch TF2: Mann vs Machine on adult swim every thursdays as valve time!"

It's a long shot, but I'm hoping for a new spy watch. I'm nearly positive the only class weapon slot to not get a new addition since its original class update is the Spy's watch slot.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;36492203]No, I'm very tired of the "don't complain, it's free" argument. [editline]26th June 2012[/editline] not another fucking pageking about this, this thread moves way too fast.[/QUOTE] No, no, no, you're not getting what I'm saying with that one word. I'm trying to indicate that the community shouldn't give the impression that charging for something that was free in the past and should stay that way is justified. That gives developers/publishers the idea that we'll deal out our money without argument, when that's totally the opposite of how people actually feel about DLC. For 90% of modern DLC, people contemptuously shell out money for it. Doesn't make it right or justified. Plus, in Valve's case. It wouldn't even work with the whole F2P system. The cash shop has brought them so much money they would never need to make pay-for updates.

I can't remember what was the problem with Australian Xmass 2011, it was obviously a pay for, but what was the main problem?

[QUOTE=Tacos;36492715]I can't remember what was the problem with Australian Xmass 2011, it was obviously a pay for, but what was the main problem?[/QUOTE] You could not get weapons for free initially unlike other updates. It is expected that you can craft or drop weapons Day 1 of the update, and Valve also advertises TF2 as a fair free to play game, boasting that all gameplay affecting items can be earned in game without the need to pay so it was also hypocritical up until you could get them without buying them.

[QUOTE=Tacos;36492715]I can't remember what was the problem with Australian Xmass 2011, it was obviously a pay for, but what was the main problem?[/QUOTE] they asked for workshop models, got flooded with them, only implemented like 5 weapons, and then, yeah, pay for

[QUOTE=IliekBoxes;36492772]Safety dance just played on Family Guy[/QUOTE] why did you post this in three threads it is a coincidence and even if it may be a funny one three threads

[QUOTE=Simplemac3;36492808]why did you post this in three threads it is a coincidence and even if it may be a funny one three threads[/QUOTE] Why are there three threads on the same thing in the first place?

[QUOTE=IliekBoxes;36492819]Why are there three threads on the same thing in the first place?[/QUOTE] Just because theres 3 similar threads doesn't mean you re-post in all three and then use that as an excuse mate. Just keep to one of them, if it's anything big it will be posted anyway.

This update essentially throws the whole "mann vs machine" out of the window, I don't see what's so great about a gamemode where you carry your intel to a capture point is, there's already user made maps like this.. Looking forward meet the pyro, but I don't see the point of the rest.
