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

A little bit off topic, but since we're talking about fixes, does anybody have a link to the fix for snipers hands in firstperson? I can't find it in google for some reason.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36461264]I think we'll finally get the Baleful Beacon. I have a feeling it was ready to go for awhile, and they were just waiting now.[/QUOTE] Possibly, but couldn't they have just added it in a weekly update like the Cozy Camper?

[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;36461374]Possibly, but couldn't they have just added it in a weekly update like the Cozy Camper?[/QUOTE] I have this feeling I can't shake they did everything they could to pad out the content of this update.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36461264]I think we'll finally get the Baleful Beacon. I have a feeling it was ready to go for awhile, and they were just waiting now.[/QUOTE] Yeah the beacon is coming back for sure. can't say why i know but i can say that valve still are holding onto it.

I notice you often make insider references like this.

[QUOTE=TheRealFierce;36461410][url]http://gamebanana.com/tf2/skins/91531[/url] Think this is it.[/QUOTE] That would be it. Thank you good sir.

[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;36461437]Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does Valve disclose this type of info with all users who make notable contributions to the game, or just you and a few other major contributors?[/QUOTE] Something was designed quite a while back but ditched in the early stages due to it being a little close to the beacon. and that valve still intended to use it that's the only reason i know that it's comin' back

I still have trouble imagining what the Beacon could do other than having the Volcano Fragment's stats. Of course this is a game where a stick with a rail spike shoved through it makes you cap points faster so what the fuck do I know?

there was nothing wrong with the beacon, it fit the game, and Pyro, well. By all accounts it seems it was intended to be a weapon with stats for halloween. I think all the weapons from halloween were suppose to have stats, but they ran out of time. Possibly even more community items planned, because the update lacked them and they're easyish to add I refuse to believe Valve added those VMTs for those weapons in good conscience. They're not even close to having all the right parameters. [QUOTE=The Calzone;36461472]I still have trouble imagining what the Beacon could do other than having the Volcano Fragment's stats.

Speaking of unused Halloween weapons, I hope the Fly Swatter comes back as well, since Valve is kinda lazy on coming up with new stats, they could make it a Disiplinary Action reskin. It may not fit with the whole boosting thing, but the sounds, damage and range fit the weapon quite well.

[QUOTE=psyke;36461496]Ask Mr.Tinder The main reason the beacon didn't make it in for the halloween update is that it had twice it's polycount due to a fuckup. and tinder didn't fix it in time.[/QUOTE] what is the excuse for the 5 line VMTs the Prick and Unarmed have?

A conveniently timed reminder: take the liberty to check through the last 3-5 pages before you post anything that's new, will you? Yes, we know that the wiki is doing a gag. No, it is not a clue as it's only Valve-sponsored, and no, don't bother posting it. Sincerely, A fed up user no longer willing to throw alarm clocks

In retrospect we should be glad in didn't get in, as it just would've been a rushed reskin that somehow would manage to be worse then the weapon it was a reskin of like the other Halloween 2011 weapons because [I]Valve[/I].

[QUOTE=psyke;36461496]Ask Mr.Tinder The main reason the beacon didn't make it in for the halloween update is that it had twice it's polycount due to a fuckup. and tinder didn't fix it in time.[/QUOTE] so going from the halloween update's track record it probably would have wound up being a reskin of the volcano fragment, then? god the more I think of it the halloween update last year was terribly boring literally the only good things to come out of it were the costumes and the two Pyro heads, and we can't even wear the costumes

Come on people, we aren't getting anything until Monday. Get off facepunch. Go outside- it's summer.

[QUOTE=dageek;36461537]Come on people, we aren't getting anything until Monday. Get off facepunch. [B]Go outside- it's summer.[/B][/QUOTE] But... it burns... [I]like the Pyro[/I].

[QUOTE=dageek;36461537]Come on people, we aren't getting anything until Monday. Get off facepunch. Go outside- it's summer.[/QUOTE] It's hot outside, and there's bees and shit flying around. [I]You[/I] go outside. I'd rather stay inside with my rainbows

[QUOTE=dageek;36461537]Come on people, we aren't getting anything until Monday. Get off facepunch. Go outside- it's summer.[/QUOTE] It's 100+ degrees outside. If anything I have more reason than usual to not go outside.

It's actually raining were I live... I hate living up in the north...

Everything about those halloween reskins was rushed, they even forgot those weapons were set based reskins, so they're actually inferior. Plus the Unarmed can't taunt for some reason. Neither crit glow, and the Unarmed has wonky jigglebones. And I don't think it was the creator, because he had another item in-game before that (Flair), and that works fine.

Day 1 of the miserably slow weekend is almost through! Come on guys, we can pull through this. We pulled through [I]six months[/I] without any [I]meaningful[/I] updates, we can pull through[I] one and a half more days[/I] until the next big TF2 update.

One Thing I've noticed is that the only thing most people dont speculate much about is what Meet the Pyro actually is, like what happens in it. I don't think anybody could have seen Meet the Medic coming, and given the even more mysterious nature of the Pyro, we have little idea about what happens in it. All we know is that he burns up a town. But is he imagining it? Is it real? Where is he? When is he? How is he?

[QUOTE=The Calzone;36461608]doesn't the wanga prick not cloak with the rest of the spy still?[/QUOTE] haha, yep I can't say I didn't try. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=7187[/url] Now that I think about it, I wonder if they even know that fix exists on the workshop. It's a super easy implementation, just copy and past the VMTs, I gave them all the working files and tested them all.

sunday is going to suck
