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

[QUOTE=alwaysrage;36410853]Probably ned. You should read my entire post.[/QUOTE] Sorry, it's like the fifteenth post I've seen regarding crafting and I just skim them now. I'm hoping once there is a recipe they'll be common enough that we'll all have them. By the looks of things I'll just have 20 fish though.

Valve made the drops common, but most people won't get the full set because right now because it seems like most people are just hoarding them.

I swear if you need a full set to unlock something important I'm gonna cry

GUYS, IDEA Goldfish + ??? = Holy Mackerel?

Weird, I can't launch TF2, cause it just starts scanning for game updates and doesn't do anything.

[QUOTE=lavacano;36410961]GUYS, IDEA Goldfish + ??? = Holy Mackerel?[/QUOTE] It has already been confirmed there is no crafting recipe. That recipe is pointless, seeing how we already have one to craft the Holy Mackerel. [editline]20th June 2012[/editline] Someone needs to start a PSA on SPUF and Reddit, because I'm seeing people thinking the Diary and Capacitor are just as common as the rest.

Since I haven't seen this posted anywhere in this thread... It appears that these items are only dropping for premium users. Good? Bad? Your call. (Mine's apathetic).

[QUOTE=CommodoreV;36410669]I'm a little bit disgusted. One of the TF2Outpost [I]moderators[/I] is still trying to get an [URL="http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/2246727"]unusual for his cheese wheel. [/URL] He started the trade back when it might have been reasonable to think these items were rare, but the fact that he's still bumping it this morning is disheartening. -imgsnip- The guy who offered the Unusual was probably joking, too: "i offer first born child. possible a heavy duty rag blizz. oh i thought you would want the first born more. fine ill offer the unusual XD." On another trade, the guy said he'd been offered a Max head for his unusual as part of a set before, so I don't think he would have seriously been willing to do the moderator's offer. .milk shut down another trade like this, but I'm afraid to report this one since the moderator in question might see it. Last time I reported a RAWR admin, I got banned from his trade server (and a RAWR caution on SteamRep).[/QUOTE] TF2outpost auto-bumps trades when you donate or are an admin

Binding of Isaac get upade as well.

Heh, Ol' Snaggeltooth is now a Dota 2 item. [editline]20th June 2012[/editline] Dota 2 is getting the ability to turn any item into a strange! :O [quote]Strange Essences At a guess, these strange essences will allow you to turn any existing cosmetic item into a strange item, applying which ever stat tracking attribute you like, ranging from the number of first bloods you’ve gotten to the number of wards you’ve planted. [/quote] THIS is something TF2 will probably be getting soon, if not with this next update.

[QUOTE=lavacano;36410961]GUYS, IDEA Goldfish + ??? = Holy Mackerel?[/QUOTE] Golden Holy Mackerel like the good ol' Golden Wrench.

I don't think it'll happen in such a fashion as they've said they don't want to piss off people who have rare stranges, but...hey, Valve are difficult to read.

they could just as easily make a tag "rare stranges" that can't be turned into stranges using this tool. I imagine these will just use the already existing strange part tags to add one that says "Can be Strange" and they can just change the rare ones to "Can Be Strange (Rare)" which would block the use of this item on that weapon (like the Gunslinger, Kritzkreig, etc)

Rare stranges? Think of all the highballing ned!

"Hey, let's make the rare stranges even rarer so no-one can get them!"

This would probably kill value on the weapons like the Scattergun and Rocket Launcher. But Valve's been trying to reduce the value of popular non-rare stranges for awhile now, reprinting the Rocket Launcher and stuff. [editline]20th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Constructor;36411236]That'd be dumb. "Hey, let's make the rare stranges even rarer so no-one can get them!"[/QUOTE] it wouldn't make rare stranges any rarer, it'd just make regular stranges more common. Which I guess in the TF2 economy that means rare stranges would be worth more, but the actual value of rare stranges shouldn't change. The number of them is the same, with no difference in demand, they shouldn't change price.

Despite no real changes, the price changes because people get mindlessly greedy. And honestly i'm expecting the next set of crates to be Heavy and Scout, redistributing the Scattergun and Minigun as possible uncrates.

Vintage Strange anyone?

The potential to have a strange pan? I'm on board.

[QUOTE=jordan10la;36411305]Vintage Strange anyone?[/QUOTE] this is also a possibility. Maybe unboxed stranges would have a random strange part attached to them automatically, to make crate based stranges more valuable than bought stranges. [editline]20th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Damoman;36411315]The potential to have a strange pan? I'm on board.[/QUOTE] this would certainly be limited to items that are already strangeable. I, too, would love a strange pan.

I was idling all night. Guess what I didn't get. ;_; Damnit this update is going to be the worst. I'm rediculously excited, because, you know, PYRO AAAAAAAAA, but I don't have ANY of the MtP themed items, despite them being "Common". Well, if the drop cap reset today, then there's hope yet.

I bet these items tie into the MvM rewards. Probably from MvM you get Tobor crafting loot, which is useless on its own also, but combined with these drop only items, you can make special Pyro cosmetics. Maybe Goldfish + Tobor Scrap Head = Fish Bowl hat, Banana + Tobor Scrap Arm might make a banana peel hat. Diary + Tobor Overlord Skull (proposed rare MvM loot) = Some reference to Meet the Pyro in hat or misc form. Because right now these items are useless, and only the peel and diary appear modeled, so they probably aren't used in a way to get hats of these items.

I got everything (including 3x Goldfish and a few banana peel) except the cheese, capacitator and diary. awww. [editline]20th June 2012[/editline] make that 4x goldfish
