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

[QUOTE=Constructor;36239686]what are you smoking Black box has it's own sounds.[/QUOTE] The Direct Hit and Cow Mangler have unique explosion sounds on impact, and the Black Box (and Original) have unused sounds for this. I assume he was talking about those.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36239711]I want the Baleful Beacon :([/QUOTE] Valve's still mullin' about on that one.

Tomislav. Apparently SPUF got their panties in a bunch over Natascha, but they're a-okay with the Tommy.

I want a least a new weapon. Something small. Nothing big. With a few bug fixes. A few unusable ladders removed. And some rum. Rum with chocolate cookies.

Thanks to the deep, crippling depression this recent dry spell of updates has put me in, I just realized that I forgot to thank Dave Riller for at least trying to perk us up with his recent blog post about maps. Good on you, Dave. Good on you. Now, let's celebrate with an update.

[QUOTE=The Calzone;36239690]oh yeah I just remembered that there are two entire Workshop collections full of bug fixes damn maybe we should get some mass-emailing to both the tf2 and dota teams to see this stuff put in the game[/QUOTE] Yeah so I just sent the fix collections to both the tf2 and dota 2 teams. Maybe the tf2 team will remember they exist. Maybe the DOTA 2 team will see them and go "oh fuck why aren't these in TF2 yet?" Maybe nothing will happen. Still, better than doing nothing.

[QUOTE=Lobster_fists;36239764]Tomislav. Apparently SPUF got their panties in a bunch over Natascha, but they're a-okay with the Tommy.[/QUOTE] I love it when enemy Heavies have Natascha. I always feel so safe.

[QUOTE=Lobster_fists;36239764]Tomislav. Apparently SPUF got their panties in a bunch over Natascha, but they're a-okay with the Tommy.[/QUOTE] It's fine, quit your whining.

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;36239645]I'm sorry. I thought this game was enjoyed for its gameplay, not its gimmicky cosmetic items. I suppose I was gravely mistaken. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy all of the cosmetics that suit my sartorial tastes; but I--like many others I'd assume--am getting fairly spent on updates featuring nothing but.[/QUOTE] It doesn't really have to do with opinion, dude. It's just really tiring to read. You realize this is the Major Update Speculation Thread, right? This thread is for discussing major updates. That is why this is the discussion that is happening. I am not completely sure you are clear on this. What if you were tryin to discuss cheese, and some fella kept interjecting with "it's all shit WELL I'M OFF". That guy's being a dismissive, arrogant asshole. It doesn't matter whether or not he's right. Anyway, I'm not gonna go as far as to call you one, cause I have no idea what response you were expecting. Were you hoping everyone would reflect on your input, close the thread, and move on with their lives? Sorry to be harsh! I would have been nicer, but [QUOTE]sartorial[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;36239720]I'm not a fan of nerfs, and the rest of the bugs are purely visual and nonessential.[/QUOTE] From browsing the recent patch notes: [code] Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented servers from reconnecting to the item server after dropping connection Fixed a bug that allowed buildings to be built in nobuild/respawn volumes Fixed a problem that allowed malicious clients to disable the "ping" and "status" commands for other connected clients Fixed the Sharpened Volcano Fragment not igniting players Fixed damage to buildings applying on-hit effects such as the Übersaw charge Fixed Sticky Jumper stickybombs changing team when air-blasted Fixed large floating point values getting truncated in WebAPI responses Fixed a server crash caused by the Loch-n-Load Fixed the Spy-cicle's fireproof attribute not working Fixed the Quick-Fix's 'immunity to movement-impairing effects' attribute not being honored by the Pyro's airblast Fixed the Quick-Fix not maintaining overhealed health Fixed health drain happening faster for players with health above the normal overheal amount for their class Fixed players being able to disconnect before a successful kickvote to avoid being banned Fixed server crash exploit related to audio buffer overruns Fixed server crash caused by using changelevel2 Fixed projectiles not being cleared if they were blocked by buildings or other projectiles Fixed being able to place buildings in nobuild zones Fixed Red team Pyros being able to grief teammates by attacking them with the flamethrower and then switching to team Spectator during the attack Fixed the Bazaar Bargain increasing its head count while shooting at ÜberCharged enemies Fixed defense buffs reducing crush and telefrag damage Fixed a bug that would cause Medics to reduce the health of heal targets if the target had earned more health than their normally allowed max overheal Fixed all syringe gun projectiles not rendering for other players Fixed IP bans not applying to RCON access Fixed Solider buffs and rage meters not always being reset Fixed a bug where Mmmph-crit flames could cause Mmmph to build fast enough to allow it to be infinitely chained Fixed a client crash that could occur when a server used SetCustomModel to change the player model Fixed a crash that could occur while trying to get The Argyle Sap achievement Fixed a case where capturing a point in overtime would end the round before time could be added Fixed a client crash related to dynamic model loading Fixed dedicated server not receiving restart requests when updates are released Fixed a server crash caused by Holiday Punch critical attacks on physics objects Fixed Nobuild exploits Fixed the teleporter player trap on the roof of the forward spawn alternate exit Fixed a demo/replay playback crash Fixed a bug where the Medic would lose his healing target's speed when deploying his ÜberCharge while using the Quick-Fix Fixed Cp_Foundry not ending the map in the middle of a round when mp_timelimit is hit Fixed a Spy-cicle exploit [/code] Look at all of those purely visual and non-essential bugfixes.

[QUOTE=Lobster_fists;36239764]Tomislav. Apparently SPUF got their panties in a bunch over Natascha, but they're a-okay with the Tommy.[/QUOTE] The biggest tomislav's downside is there is no strange version of it yet, so people who have a strange minigun use it over tomislav.

I use the minigun because the Tomislav player view is so boring and the sounds are kind of grating. Festive Minigun is a lot more interesting, and I don't really play Heavy frequently enough that not using Tomislav effects my performance.

well my guess is some recent alright item will be added and people will complain about all of the update. i want some sort of turtle related item in game

at least the new item [i]should[/i] randomly drop day 1.

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;36239424]Maybe if you have a fetish for bad cosmetics.[/QUOTE] what [editline]8th June 2012[/editline] maybe i have horrible taste but i can't really think of all that many bad cosmetics that have come out recently.

God, I don't even care about weapons or hats at this point A comic would be great, voicelines would be fantastic, but dang, I just want to stop waiting. I am starting to understand how Half-Life fans feel [I]and I hate it[/I]

No email yet? This saddens me. I swear if updates are gonna be every TWO weeks now, i'm gonna be a sad individual.

[QUOTE=Goodwell;36240051]No email yet? This saddens me. I swear if updates are gonna be every TWO weeks now, i'm gonna be a sad individual.[/QUOTE] it's still really early. Not even standard email time yet.

Something I want is a new weapon. Even it's a weapon with +/- attributes, I want something.

What if weekly update comes down to every Tuesday and Thursday updates. Somehow they become super productive. Thanks to the new combo they drink: Red Bull and Bath Salt. [sp]and rum.[/sp]

I'm just thinking of one thing. Why no one visited Valve and reported what he saw? Last time it worked pretty well.

[QUOTE=B-Rabbit;36240149]I'm just thinking of one thing. Why no one visited Valve and reported what he saw? Last time it worked pretty well.[/QUOTE] There's a bunch of people from Reddit going over there next thursday.

I might go back again in September. (And this time not answer every question through a smartphone...)

I'm hoping to go during the summer vacation.

Steal Gabe's wallet.
