Major Update Speculation Thread V3: Tonight's the Night, forever and always - Games

Is the Dead Cone set up properly for painting by any chance? Seems a little silly it isn't paintable, seeing as it's such a simple, single-coloured hat.

Long-time lurker here. Ned, what about the Jeepcap and Grenadier's Softcap? Could either be made paintable? [QUOTE]They added totally non-visible hair to the Mutton Chops that only serve to clip, and then they made crazy engy hair that even clips with Engineer's default helmet, making the misc kind of pointless.[/QUOTE] It would make sense if we had Sarge's Sensible Haircut, I guess. I hate that his black hair very visibly clips with the Hat with No Name and the Gibus when they're painted TS.

[QUOTE=CommodoreV;36354631]Long-time lurker here. Ned, what about the Jeepcap and Grenadier's Softcap? Could either be made paintable?[/QUOTE] They're set hats. Whether or not they are needed for the set bonus doesn't matter. Valve doesn't want set hats to be paintable.

We really need a hatless soldier hat.

[QUOTE=DatWut?;36354642]They're set hats. Whether or not they are needed for the set bonus doesn't matter. Valve doesn't want set hats to be paintable.[/QUOTE] Buccaneer's Bicorne, Capo's Capper, Desert Marauder, and Cosa Nostra are all paintable. All are barely visible except for the Marauder, though. Having the Softcap be unpaintable makes a lot of sense, but the Jeepcap ought to be.

Softcap goes with black set, Jeepcap goes with green set. Not paintable in my opinion.

So on the topic of actual speculation, when do you guys genuinely think the MtP update will ship? It's definitely gonna be a week-long thing like with the Uber Update, so I'm hoping it'll start next Monday/the following Monday. We're approaching the time when the Uber Update happened (June 20th-24th.)

The creator of the Jeepcap made it so that either the goggles, or the hat itself can be painted. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=11338&searchtext=jeepcap[/url]

[QUOTE=Yukoviz;36354751]So on the topic of actual speculation, when do you guys genuinely think the MtP update will ship? [/QUOTE] For many small reasons I think it will be July. Could be any other month though saddly, though probably not August.

[QUOTE=Eriorguez;36354720]Softcap goes with black set, Jeepcap goes with green set. Not paintable in my opinion.[/QUOTE] That's all well and good from a design standpoint, and I'm glad the makers had a color palette in mind, but few people use either set and the Jeepcap set provides no bonus at all. (In fact, the Jeepcap set is more of a hindrance than anything else; the weapons do not complement each other.) If you'd like it to stay green, then don't paint it? If Valve cared that much about aesthetics, I'm convinced Pink as Hell and Lime paint wouldn't even exist. (I do care about the art style, of course, and that's why I want a TS Jeepcap.) [QUOTE=LeeMelvin;36353314]That hat you get from foundry achievements looks pretty good with it. It doesn't clip from the front or back, and on the sides it just looks like the brim of the hat is going into his bushy hair. [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/ULL31M.png[/t][/QUOTE] It clips [I]very[/I] horribly in the back for me. I'm rather sure that the brim of the hat is just hiding that clipping in your picture. I'll take a pic when I get back tonight to show. [QUOTE=Ceiling Man;36354754]The creator of the Jeepcap made it so that either the goggles, or the hat itself can be painted. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=11338&searchtext=jeepcap[/url][/QUOTE] I saw that. I suppose that means it isn't already set up for painting in a way that Ned could try to implement. Also, anyone have any news on the Last Breath fixes? I think most of the problem might be fixed by just having the pinhead look a "style" for the Breath.

I may have said this before, but I honestly don't think some of the Grordbort items would have made it in, if they had been submitted by a random fan to the workshop. You could probably make that argument for promos, I guess. Clipping-wise, I don't really have any defense or reason! I just get attached to certain screw-ups. Except for Max. Giving him hair was just amusing in the first place.

[QUOTE=igotopinions;36354844]I may have said this before, but I honestly don't think some of the Grordbort items would have made it in, if they had been submitted by a random fan to the workshop[/QUOTE] If the Conquistador and other boring workshop hats can make it in, I don't know why you think the Grordbort's items wouldn't. On the topic of the Grordbort's items, I would like the Bubble Pipe a lot more if there was a style without the Pipe. That's just too gimmicky for me.

I looked the hat up in the wiki to make sure I wasn't full of shit, and found this: [QUOTE]The hat was originally based on a conquistador hat featured in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. Though originally intended for the Demoman, the hat fit badly with the Demoman's default hat. The creator subsequently chose the Soldier to wear the hat, citing his adventurous and up-front position in battle as well as the similarity of his nature with historic conquistadors.[/QUOTE] (i realize this doesn't really mean anything, argument-wise, but haha)

[QUOTE='[GM] Gaw;36354626']Is the Dead Cone set up properly for painting by any chance? Seems a little silly it isn't paintable, seeing as it's such a simple, single-coloured hat.[/QUOTE] Sadly, no. Inspector might be able to submit a paint fix thoug. He should also make a paint fix for the brainiac hair and dragonorn helmet. [editline]16th June 2012[/editline] And earbuds ;)

After playing D2 for a bit, so many features I wish were brought over to tf2. Shame a lot of it will probably require major changes not possible without major overhauls. It is funny to see how much of the items stuff is brought over from tf2 though, both scary and good.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36355090] And earbuds ;)[/QUOTE] christ, don't make them MORE expensive...

[QUOTE=Damoman;36354788]For many small reasons I think it will be July. Could be any other month though saddly, though probably not August.[/QUOTE] I feel that we would get the MtP around winter/Christmas time. Probably something along the lines of having the Pyro heating our winter up with some bad Valve puns.

[QUOTE=Damoman;36354788]For many small reasons I think it will be July. Could be any other month though saddly, though probably not August.[/QUOTE] They're simply not going to let this update go by without quite a bit of hype, especially now that it's more than half a year in the making. I was really hoping they'd start some solid hinting this week, but they obviously didn't. This leads me to believe that they're still putting the final (I hope) touches on everything and won't start the lead up to the actual update until very late June. Basically I just took a really long time agreeing with you about something happening in July.

Last night i had a dream items showed up in view models. [t]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/595840681932195021/2AD69812289FDC0D77A535875FB38A23E46A04F4/[/t] Why can't we have this? >:

Look a this: "engineer_wings" "1" What?

[QUOTE=TheCreepyPryo;36356134]Look a this: "engineer_wings" "1" What?[/QUOTE] The Halloween fly wings. [editline]16th June 2012[/editline] I'm also gonna go ahead an expect an update on monday.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36354088]I might sneak Lord Cock's Novelty Pithe in this fix, again. Last time they said it wasn't set up properly for paint, but it totally is.

[QUOTE=hogofwar;36356139]The Halloween fly wings.[/QUOTE] Now that you mention the fly wings, I have two questions on the halloween set in particular. 1) why is the item desc 'ndsp;'? 2)when Engie dies whilst wearing the set, his voice turns normal, is this a glitch?

Imagine what would happen if people painted their black box's Orange THE VISUAL PUNS PEOPLE

weapon painting would make things really confusing, especially for projectile weapons

I really wished Valve made the Triclops a misc instead of a hat.
