haha, oh, i'm a moron, then.
[QUOTE=BanthaFodder;36252214]Probably because of the gameplay possibilities.
I mean, we can guess with stuff like the actual guns, but a Scout Jetpack and a new Medigun?
There's a chance that the jetpack is purely cosmetic (considering there's already a secondary), but still, a new Medigun is always nice.
Considering we have Mediguns that cover the three bases of Offense (Kritz), Defense (Stock), and Support (QF), there's really no telling where they'll go with this new one.
I'm hoping for one of these:
1. Can heal multiple targets
2. Can dispense metal/ammo as well as health
3. Target is incapable of being killed so long as the beam is on them (ie. you're FORCED to shoot the Medic first)[/QUOTE]
Anyway! Good point, you're definitely right I think. Although mechanics-wise, dispensing ammo and health seems like it wouldn't work.
The whole point of ammo is so you can't just hold down the fire button for eternity. If the medigun refilled ammo, it'd have to be at a rate that wouldn't allow this. Then it wouldn't be very useful, seeing as there's usually a corpse to pilfer every few feet. Maybe an infinite-ammo type ubercharge? Not sure folks would go for it though.

LEAK?
No.
Shit. Back to my lair.

That Ubercharge would be gorgeous for Soldiers.
But you have a point there, an ammo-dispensing Medigun would be pretty awful on weapons you don't need to reload like the Minigun.

My lair has internet connection. I can check this thread from the comfort of my lair, it's convenient.
So.... anything new happen?
Schema stuff, emails, anything of that nature?
2 hour until a potential update time so now we play the waiting game

Hi.
[QUOTE=Psychopath12;36252425]Hi.[/QUOTE]
Pretty sure he meant an ubercharge that auto reloads.
[QUOTE=Blargargh;36252219]I sure hope, if there is a wave based mode, that it's still not serious enough for a mistake to lead to a wipeout + raeg, like DotA/L4D. After 15 hours of being moaned at SMNC because I don't have a comprehensive knowledge of the game and have a special ability to be grapple-spammed, I am DONE with such games.[/QUOTE]
I dunno how that would work. A system whereby a single individual mistake isn't enough to topple the team would be a good idea for the resolution of such an issue with wave-style games. Maybe the system whereby weapons are upgradeable includes mechanics that prevent an individual loss from screwing over the entire team.
Being that MvM is likely a mode where one team is AI driven and doesn't have the weapons upgrade stuff, I have a feeling that feeding won't be an issue, since player deaths probably won't give resources to the robots. That's one of the main issues with MOBAs; getting killed can give experience and money to the enemy, which is the root of all feeding, and one of the reasons why MOBA players can be so nasty.

I think I might check out those documentaries in my Alien Anthology box set to kill some time.
Here's hoping we get something....

That doesn't make any sense. Why would anyone want an ubercharge just so they don't have to press R or enable autoreload?

hogofwar spotted MvM medals that were in the schema for 5 minutes, and the WETA Workshop items went 3D.

well I know THAT, I was more referring to anything since the Schemas.
[QUOTE=Psychopath12;36252466]That doesn't make any sense. Why would anyone want an ubercharge just so they don't have to press R or enable autoreload?[/QUOTE]
So they can keep putting damage out? I mean, think of a Sodapopper that never has to reload o_o
Edit: "Auto-reloads" was prolly a bad choice of words; "infinite clip" sounds more like what I mean.

Other than that, nothing much.

What is that, where did you find it? EXPLAIN

I doubt it's shopped, I tend to trust contributors.
I really want them to fix invisible heavy hands.
[QUOTE=Spagetto;36252665]What is that, where did you find it? EXPLAIN[/QUOTE]
gee, where would a contributor ever find a reply about an item they submitted >_>

bodygroups in general, they like to turn on and off whenever they feel like it.
It's Prim, we can trust her.

Then she dies! (What a copout).
