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

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;36160432]I've always been one to deride Valve for its endless deluge of meaningless cosmetics, but I have to say that the Quadwrangler is a rather comely addition to the Medic's wardrobe. I have a thing for popped collars and grandiose apparel. Nevertheless, I will persist in faulting Valve for their attention to Dota 2, this preposterous Enforcer nerf, and their stubborn refusal to add weapons with unique stats.[/QUOTE] only scrubs used the enforcer anyway :o

[QUOTE=xXxUmAdBrOxXx;36160478]only scrubs used the enforcer anyway :o[/QUOTE] If something is exploitable or has no practical downsides; good players will milk it for all it's worth. And lower-skilled players will use it to get a leg up. There is no such thing as "honor", it's a fucking videogame. The objective is to win, if something makes winning easier, why not use it?

apparently they required Valve to modify the rigging of Medic for it to work [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/ug0fn/im_so_excited_my_first_tf2_items_just_got_added/[/url]

That's one of the few cases where a promo leads me to a very interesting game, I think I'll buy it. Seems worth the money. (Here's your medal: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/cJYWZ.png[/IMG]) EDIT: This is actually a very interesting source of information [QUOTE=MrHankScorpio]Very early on we were talking about doing the same glove idea for the Engi but we both really think there need to be more Medic items. The Deep_Friar just nailed it out of the park with the model. But yeah, we saw a chance to make a medic item and jumped on it for exactly this reason. Medics don't get enough love.[/QUOTE] Good choice I'd say [QUOTE=MrHankScorpio]But my understanding is that just like the Deus Ex items they should be in the store after a while (once the game releases). No idea what their prices will be; there are items and packs in the Mann Co. store that are more expensive than all of Quantum Conundrum.[/QUOTE] Seems like there will be a bundle. Don't expect those items to drop.

[QUOTE=SLBros.;36160587] Seems like there will be a bundle. Don't expect those items to drop.[/QUOTE] I honestly prefer this over having to trade for them. Then again, the QuakeCon, Deus Ex and Shogun items all drop and are all craftable, so you never know.

the deus ex items drop and are craftable

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36160873]the deus ex items drop and are craftable[/QUOTE] Because they're weapons with stats. Here, it's all cosmetics. Also a friend just got kicked out of Dota because "client is out of date". For some reason he talked about TF2. Any updates?

Oh right, I forgot that the Purity Fist is a gunslinger replacement.

[QUOTE=SLBros.;36161211]Because they're weapons with stats. Here, it's all cosmetics.[/QUOTE] Kingdom of Amular items are craftable and they are all cosmetics.

Plants v Zombies, Tropico 4, From Dust and Mount and Blade promos also drop, and they're all cosmetics.

But my point was to mention it'll probably be similar to the Football Manager items, where it's all cosmetics in a bundle, and they doesn't drop and cannot be crafted :v: Oh well, it's not that important

did the update break tf2 for anyone else? 45 FPS average on an i7 and GTX 560M. really fucking stupid.

I was getting really bad stuttering when i was playing earlier, that made me concerned :c

[QUOTE=hogofwar;36162980]New blog post [url]http://tf2.com/post.php?id=8124[/url][/QUOTE] Of course it's about Gorge, which is probably one of the most poorly designed stock maps I've seen.

[url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=74189042&searchtext=[/url] Hey, valve, for your future updates, can we get this please? Dunno about you guys, but this is one of the nicest Engie miscs I've seen

And low and behold; a blog post graces our hatted heads.

I want this to be reminiscent of last halloween, and monday to be the night.

[QUOTE=SLBros.;36169281]Soho is secretly a CTF version of Gorge! TWIST PLOT[/QUOTE] no its not.

So Ronin, anything big happening next week(s)?

Seeing as your wife was a false profit when it comes to major updates, may we ask your husband?

[QUOTE=Evil_Knevil;36169898]So Ronin, anything big happening next week(s)?[/QUOTE] i dont think so. [editline]2nd June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Damoman;36169942]Seeing as your wife was a false profit when it comes to major updates, may we ask your husband?[/QUOTE] Well, she never said it was for TF2.

Do they want me to edit the images of paint fix pack one Ronin?
