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

[QUOTE=hunter_killah;36409835]one that note, the TF2 wiki for the goldfish states that a valve employee asked "Why aren't goldfish made of gold?" an hour before the update [b]gold[/b]fish [b]gold[/b]en wrench it has to be it[/QUOTE] It could be related as in the TF universe, Golden Wrenches aren't actually made out of gold.

[QUOTE=-=NARH=-;36409851]It could be related as in the TF universe, Golden Wrenches aren't actually made out of gold.[/QUOTE] im not being entirely serious here it's a stretch of a speculation, but i find it odd that all these new items have crafting properties and valve has been talking non-stop about executing an event where players can craft the destroyed wrenchs

Sleep deprivation fueled rambling continues... Pocket Lint = PL = Payload (Pipeline?) Goldfish = Goldrush Barn Door Plank = Barnblitz So... Cheese Wheel = CP_Steel?

I bet the valve economist is also having a lot of fun over this, not just the TF2 team.

Are these items independent of the drop cap?

WAIT If you hit a goldfish with a golden wrench it turns into gold

[QUOTE=hunter_killah;36409800]i speculate this is valve's way of doing their little "craft the destroyed golden wrenches" event they've been wanting to do for some time[/QUOTE] Plank (5$) + Lint (0$) + Banana Peel (100 points) + Goldfish (15$) + Cheese (5$) + Capacitor (5$) + Diary (10$) = Golden Wrench (1500$) seems legit

I like how all the items use the paper bag noise in the backpack when you move them around, instead of appropriate sounds like the Mackerel sound for the goldfish or banana.

[QUOTE=Arrk;36409921]Are these items independent of the drop cap?[/QUOTE] No idea. They mostly (and I'd even say guaranteed to) drop with others, common drops, but they also have been proved to drop alone. Apparently, I'd say yes.

So do they just randomly drop or is there any thing that can be done to get them faster?

[QUOTE=Arrk;36409956]So do they just randomly drop or is there any thing that can be done to get them faster?[/QUOTE] Random.

[QUOTE=Man in the Moon;36409971]Random.[/QUOTE] But then I will never get any on time :/.

Just a note; The Cheese is from the same manufacturer as the Soldiers military surplus.

I'm assuming these new items are part of the regular drop system? I hit my drop cap earlier this week so I'm unsure of that.

[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;36409982]Just a note; The Cheese is from the same manufacturer as the Soldiers military surplus.[/QUOTE] Just so people see: [IMG]http://media.steampowered.com/apps/440/icons/cheese_wheel_large.7e50a6f1a3ca85cdab4c1ccbaaa00c1db3e8ec3f.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Ts71H.png[/IMG]

Well, I only see people getting them with regular item drops, and seeing as I have already hit my cap, that's kinda BS.

Valve server I was on just completely died. Not a crash, just lagged to death, so I don't think it's the showdeaths thing (was that actually patched?). Maybe they're doing something with the servers, not really sure was this is indicative of? Overheating? Just sucks because no other decent servers are full ;c Also, I wonder if the new items will be in new pyro weapon recipes? They seem as oddball as other weapons he's had before.

Pocket Lint = PL = Pipeline Goldfish = Goldrush Barn Door Plank = Barnblitz Cheese Wheel = CP_Steel Banana Peel. Peel. Peal. Peal of Thunder. THUNDER MOUNTAIN. [img]http://i.imgur.com/BX9Sf.png[/img]

Guys, the goldfish is the babelfish, get it rigth. :v:

What if those items are hints to what sets are going to be added

[QUOTE=SLBros.;36410073]What if those items are hints to what sets are going to be added[/QUOTE] I was honestly just kicking that Idea around in my head. For example the cheese would be moon themed weapons (moon is made of cheese) Dr Gordborts. The fish would be a sailor themed weapon set, I've seen one for heavy I think. Lint burns easily, other than that I've got nothing, Broken Capacitor would be for MvM, hopefully.

Does this work for idling? -textmode -nosound -nopix -novid -nopreload -nojoy -sw -maxplayers 2 +sv_lan 1 +map "itemtest"

Pocket Lint = PL = Pipeline Goldfish = Goldrush Barn Door Plank = Barnblitz Cheese Wheel = CP_Steel Banana Peel = Thunder Mountain Capacitor. Capacitors are in computers. Computers are housed in towers. Hightower. Diary. Book. Paper. Wood. Sawmill.

Goldfish. Goldfish bowl. Bowl. Dustbowl.

[QUOTE=Armisael;36410167]Goldfish. Goldfish bowl. Bowl. Dustbowl.[/QUOTE] The joke's on you, Armisael. The goldfish was a robot the entire time. [img]http://i.imgur.com/8rN6V.jpg[/img]

Tools for customizing weapons anyone? :v:

[QUOTE=-=NARH=-;36409851]It could be related as in the TF universe, Golden Wrenches aren't actually made out of gold.[/QUOTE] Your right. They're made from Australium.

Valve needs to release this, post-haste. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=16224[/url]

Guys, what if the banana peel isn't just a crafting item? What if it's a weapon? [t]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/a/ad/Backpack_Banana_Peel.png[/t] Banana Peel throw it for a quick laugh + Victims slip on banana peel + plays laugh track when slipped on - replaces secondary - can slip teammates
