Major Update Speculation: V8: Rise of the Machines! - Games

[QUOTE=Archimedes;37338241]Is anybody else having issues with Pyroland? For some reason the border isn't appearing (have it set to dynamic) for me, among other things.[/QUOTE] Been like that since release to me.

[QUOTE=psyke;37336120]grordobort sets with the saxxy update? that'd be neat. [B]valve's been skimping on the cosmetics as of recent[/B][/QUOTE] To hell with the cosmetics. I want the lasers :c

[QUOTE=Archimedes;37338241]Is anybody else having issues with Pyroland?[/QUOTE] Nope. [t]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21171698/hl2%202012-08-21%2001-30-54-96.png[/t]

Ok so that confirms Pyroland is somewhat broken for some people. Shame, just when I was starting to like my Lollichop and Rainblower.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37334993]- "Hidden" ÜberCharge (player sees their arms as ÜberCharged, but their appearance is not ÜberCharged unless they are hit by a source of damage, after which the player appears ÜberCharged for several seconds).

Medic confirmed to be the real mastermind behind the robots and not the Engineer.

Am I the only who can't be gibbed in MvM?

People keep buying tickets-vouchers. Prices keep going down. Excellent.

[QUOTE=Razi The Red;37339469]Am I the only who can't be gibbed in MvM?[/QUOTE] for whatever reason there's no gibs in MvM Which makes for a hilarious situation I had yesterday in which Archimedes flew out of a dead, limp Scout body. I guess it's only tied to the conditions of gibbing, not the gibbing itself, so it'll still happen.

[QUOTE=psyke;37336120]grordobort sets with the saxxy update? that'd be neat. valve's been skimping on the cosmetics as of recent[/QUOTE] What Saxxy update? I thought that was mainly a Source Filmmaker event.

S'pretty silly.

I don't think we'll have a Saxxy update this year, the Saxxys seem now to be more of an all Valve thing. L4D also advertised it, and I'm sure when they add the assets for Portal and CSGO, they'll advertise it also. It's just a Valve event with a TF2 item reward now. I think our next big update will add a new MvM campaign, plus a bunch of weapons. There's still loads of sets on the workshop that need to get in. They also might go back to weekly workshop items. Those were great and something TF2 related to look forward to every week.

Every full moon when the Soldier wears his Tin Soldier set, he will not be attacked by robots. Make it happen, Valve.

[QUOTE=ojcoolj;37339777]Every full moon when the Soldier wears his Tin Soldier set, he will not be attacked by robots.

[QUOTE=ojcoolj;37339777]Every full moon when the Soldier wears his Tin Soldier set, he will not be attacked by robots. Make it happen, Valve.[/QUOTE] the robot soldiers need to use the robot lines non-costume based. Most of them work great as unique bot lines for Soldier Bots, but there's never a situation in which Soldier bot can use them.

[QUOTE=Randdalf;37339723]What Saxxy update? I thought that was mainly a Source Filmmaker event.[/QUOTE] Yeah, and I dont' want to wait 'til November for the Grodbort weapons. How about somewhere in September? Then we can have our Halloween update in October, Saxton event in November and Christmas update in December. Just so that each month could get something cooli-o

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37339788]the robot soldiers need to use the robot lines non-costume based.

Which is accurate, since they run on money [editline]21st August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Jetpack Bear;37339786]op pls nerf - Steam Forums[/QUOTE] Can't crit, so its balanced And no canteen

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37339788]Most of them work great as unique bot lines for Soldier Bots, but there's never a situation in which Soldier bot can use them.[/QUOTE] I think giant soldiers should play one of the ass-kick lines when it first lands. [B]"My boot will transform into a boot WITH YOUR ASS [I]WRAPPED[/I] AROUND IT.[/B]"

the ones they couldn't use would be the ones about full moons and the one where he remarks about how he'll never be comfortable in the costume. Everything else is fine, even the apartment line, which would be kind of silly, but still works fine on a robot. [editline]21st August 2012[/editline] also in the future they could just as easily retcon the whole thing to bring the robots into new modes. Start the comic at Redmond and Blutarch's funerals, and then as the priest is reading the bible, have Saxton rip open the page and say something like "Wow... this is really getting a little depressing. I think I'll just go ahead and make this better, skip ahead to page 5" And then it shoots us back to when Redmond "dies" back in the Alamo. It's then Gray, instead of killing them, discusses with Blutarch about an alliance against Redmond (while Redmond is dead). Then Blutarch dies after Redmond comes back, and Gray makes the same deal to Redmond. Neither brother knows about the deals, as both are dead as the deals are being made. And boom, we have bots in more modes and the gravel wars continue, and MvM is just a side story "what if" type deal. Hell, they could retcon MvM to be the alliance of Blutarch and Gray (which is honestly the better idea then killing them off)

Beep boop, I am scared! Robots do not get scared, Ned.

Ghost robots for halloween would be lol. A wave of a hat rack with a wheel attached to it and a sheet draped over it. Scares players that get too close, but cannot carry the bomb.

Guys it has gone too far when I go into a random server and someone knows me by name and apparently has my facebook page.

Make the gamemode the alternate story arc, while canonically, the characters are kept intact.

[QUOTE=Goodwell;37340000]I like this idea. Make the gamemode the alternate story arc, while canonically, the characters are kept intact.[/QUOTE] Killing them off was kind of weird. It's still RED vs BLU at its core, they probably could have worked the story better as more of an alliance between Blutarch and Gray, rather than kind of forgetting BLU team exists, but at the same time the robots are BLU team so... wait what!?

Just been on a foundry server, some guy said he heard about me, called me a big mouthed shit head and then claimed he had my facebook page and posted it in the chat. Then he turned the profile picture into a spray. Oh lordy I had this conversation with him 10 minutes later after I added him 14:07 - ojcoolj: Do you usually search people on facebook just because you have their name? 14:08 - Deano: No, just you because you're a big mouthed fucker. 14:08 - Deano: Blockeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed. 14:08 - Deano: You best hope this isn't you cause I'm going send it EVERYONE hahahaha 14:08 - Deano: Cya pally 14:08 - ojcoolj: Why did you even do that? Thats a bit creepy 14:08 - Deano: Because it's the internet 14:08 - Deano: and it's fucking hilarious Even if he's right, its still fucking creepy [editline]21st August 2012[/editline] And now the dick just went on here and found my twitter. I'm pretty sure this is illegal
