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

[QUOTE=Randdalf;36319116]Probably less than that, when you consider sales and bundles. Sticky jumper is probably popular because it's cheap - so people can get premium accounts?[/QUOTE] SJ is also useful and fun as hell. Shit, if Valve would have buffed the RJ at the same time as the SJ, I bet that'd sell nearly as well.

The funny thing is, there seems to be no correlation between ease of getting the item, versus sales. Sales seem to be 100% a comparison on price vs stats. Weapons like YER, Machina and Crit-a-Cola, despite being droppable and craftable since day 1, have more sales than the Rocket Jumper which doesn't drop, is cheaper, and has no recipe. So gimme Rocket Jumper recipe Valve >:(

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36318923]OMG [url]http://stats.tf2finance.com/[/url] Data collected from viewing a HUGE sample size of TF2 backpacks. Like... close to everyone on Steam. There are 12,000 sold Fast Learners. The Last Breath has 12,000 11,000 Team Captains there are 32,000 purchased deus specs. I repeat 32,000 sold Deus Specs 20,000 purchased Spycicles 38,000 Snaggletooths 24,000 Softcaps [b]51,000 Professional's Panama![/b] [editline]14th June 2012[/editline] Errmmm... I'm so sorry Some on the bottom end... Stocking Stuffer: 226 Conquistador (surprise surprise): 270 Hot Dogger: 307 [editline]14th June 2012[/editline] this is better than TF2 Stats Sorry if I never post again, I'm lost in stats[/QUOTE] the hot dogger is the best hat for a variety of reasons

[QUOTE=NeoDement;36319250]the hot dogger is the best hat for a variety of reasons[/QUOTE] is one of the reasons the borked texture

all my items with raped textures are near the bottom of the list... interesting.

[QUOTE=Demon!;36319119]It's actually okay, since I made a decent amount off of it during Christmas when we all got paid a percentage for uncrates.[/QUOTE] If it's any consolation, I uncrated one back then.

4 million stranges. That means 10 million dollars from keys than yielded a strange, alone. Props to you, Valve. Keep it up, and you may be able to buy some European countries.

Nine Iron lowest selling reskin (3,705) Bootlegger best selling reskin (7,304) It's not all bad ND

I'm not complaining I got loads of money :v:

[editline]14th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=NeoDement;36319404]I'm not complaining I got loads of money :v:[/QUOTE] you're in the company of higher end mediocre hats and kind of bad weapons with stats. Yea... reskins are not big sellers. They cost less, but sell the same numbers as mediocre hats. Woo good job Valve!

yeah but I haven't got one mediocre hat in like the Consquitador, I've got 5 it all adds up

I think when you're the lowest grossing hat in the entire game you drop away from mediocre to just plain bad There are only around 2,000 conquistadors in total. For reference the Spats are 2 weeks old and are at a little more than 1,000 total.

Wow this whole time I didn't realize you made the skullcutter NeoDement. I still got my vintage one, pairs nicely with the sticky jumper :v:

There are 2,000 Vintage Bill's These are glitched items. There is no consistent way to get this item. There are the same amount of glitchy Bill's hats as Conquistador, an almost 6 month old hat that drops, can be crafted or purchased. Yikes, this is like one of the saddest stories of a TF2 item.

I knew those stills from Meet the Pyro looked familiar... [video=youtube;IEaX4ApC_EU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEaX4ApC_EU[/video] [sp]Really, I just wanted to post this.[/sp]

we should create a hipster revolution for the Conquistador. Make people want to wear it because nobody is wearing it. Like a modern day Gatsby

The Conquistador is already 6 months old? I think all I can say here is o_o

[QUOTE=NeoDement;36319643]The Conquistador is already 6 months old? I think all I can say here is o_o[/QUOTE] in the six months we've had more Conquistadors added to the game than updates

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36319641]we should create a hipster revolution for the Conquistador. Make people want to wear it because nobody is wearing it. Like a modern day Gatsby[/QUOTE] After all the Civ V I've played I sort of legitimately want a Conquistador. Perhaps I could get some fitting miscs to go along with it, then pretend all the crit rockets coming my way are [I]peaceful[/I] ICBMs from Ghandi. Also, I remember when that hat first got added to the game. I accidentally called Shakespeare 'french' and some guy on the server started cursing me out. [I]Good times.[/I]

[QUOTE=NeoDement;36319643]The Conquistador is already 6 months old? I think all I can say here is o_o[/QUOTE] Wait, 6 months? Have we seriously gone this long without a worthwhile update? Valve, I'm dissapoint...

How does the Conquistador look with the All-fathers? If its good maybe I'll get the Conquistador.

[QUOTE=Mr_Awesome;36319810]Wait, 6 months? Have we seriously gone this long without a worthwhile update? Valve, I'm dissapoint...[/QUOTE] Butt,last update was 294 so in 6 updates more we have... !THE 300th UPDATE¡ And something may happen... or not

GUYS HOLY CRAP I GOT THE CRAZIEST IDEA Tobor's texture still exists as it is laid out the way a normal UV mapping would be made right? What if someone were to try to model a Tobor? Even though we have no idea how Tobor looks, someone could try to match up parts to the UV to a custom model. [t]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/a/ad/Tobor.png[/t] I would try it, but I've got finals in the upcoming days.

Mnemo had an idea to host a contest once where the goal was to try and make stuff that used the original Tobor texture.

Meaning you couldn't get the shape of the Heavy's head, for example, just from his texture? Don't get me wrong, I like your idea a lot, I'm just curious whether or not it would work.

i lovw how valve is making lodsedosh, yet the updates we've been getting haven't been recieved nowhere as well as the original class updates :X

[QUOTE=NeoDement;36320527]Yeah it's completely impossible, in this case it would be pure guesswork[/QUOTE] How many great scientific discoveries were preceded by those words I wonder.
