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

[QUOTE=BigJoeyLemons;37365590]Sorry for the change of gears to something that's a little late, but wouldn't the botkiller guns look far better if they had the barrel jammed through the Heavy head's jaw, so it's like he's spitting bullets at you?[/QUOTE] Botkiller family business v:v:v

[QUOTE=ojcoolj;37366037]Anything fun happen recently? I've been too busy asking G-Mod ragdoll makers to upload their work to somewhere other than garrysmod.com[/QUOTE] still isn't your blog...

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;37366211]Anyone else think they should really not allow ubered/bonk robots to be able to pick up and deploy the bomb?[/QUOTE] Seems only fair. If my memory serves me right, human players can't carry the intelligence while ubered/using bonk/when activating dead ringer etc, and it feels unfair that the computer players should be exempt to these gameplay mechanics.

At first, I thought that ubered players/bonk scouts shouldn't carry the bomb, and it's pissed me off whenever that would happen. However, after playing for a while, I can see that this is intentional (I mean honestly they had to have coded it this way since the bomb is a type of flag and normally uber/bonk makes you drop the flag). It makes Pyros way more useful, it punishes you for letting them get that far in the first place, and it makes players realize that killing Medics is a priority. I can understand that it does seem cheap, but it just adds to the hectic nature of the mode and makes the game harder. Feel free to disagree with me, I mean I hate when that shit happens too, but I'm going to assume its intentional and roll with it.

[QUOTE=Mr. Smartass;37365228]Buds are actually extremely rare as far as most items go and are worth a lot more than 2 reclaimed. They're currency nowadays.[/QUOTE] Ok then, 1 refined at most. As benle said, there's over 100 thousand of them and that figure sure does makes it sound like an extremely rare item. There's more earbuds then halloween costumes, I think if anything is worth as much as these buds are "supposedly" worth it should be the burning bongos. Now that's a classy misc item.

Are all the botkiller weapons strange? Call me crazy, but I just don't like stranges unless it's jarate or something.

[QUOTE=JohnnyGoGo;37370814]Are all the botkiller weapons strange? Call me crazy, but I just don't like stranges unless it's jarate or something.[/QUOTE] Yes they are.

you'd think with the third or fourth iteration of some of these botkiller weapons strange stock counterparts we'd get alower prices on the stock variety, since there's been numerous chances to get a strange varient.

The botkiller weapons' jigglebones are fucked up.

Not seen any problems with the jigglebones, just the attachments don't disappear on weapon switch or death for other players.

[QUOTE=VintageCat;37366774]Year ago I was thinking of Australlium - You can craft Australlium Scrap from 12 refined and so on. Then you can craft a random unusual form 3 Australlium Refined :v:[/QUOTE] Stop making me wish I could craft it with a wrench

they should make a new quality "Australian" and give it to the old G Wrenches, and then make it so you have a random chance of getting a G Wrench every time you craft a weapon, hat or scrap metal.

Item server down for everyone else?

[QUOTE=Kapellmeister;37371312]I hope this is a bad attempt at a joke.[/QUOTE] the only non-continuous distributed, untradeable weapon in the entire game.

That practically kills off any chance of people wanting it if it isn't gift-wrappable either. If they got one with that idea, they'd probably just delete it after the novelty of making people into solid gold wears off.

I don't like weapons that are 100% unobtainable and unmoveable at all, and whose distribution was on a shaky "random" system. I seems after all these years it's time to finally just let it be and release the G Wrench as a normal weapon with a pretty rare chance of getting it, and the old ones are marked special as legacy items. Even if the new ones are marked "Counterfeit" or something, it's still better than having a weapon that nobody can ever get again on only 80 something accounts. At least with the Saxxys you can pretend to have a chance to get it every year, with the G Wrench, it's totally locked.

It's a reskin with a really goddamn obnoxious effect. I'd be just barely okay with them if they were a 0.01% unbox, completely untradable and very clearly marked as "[B]THIS IS NOT A REAL GOLDEN WRENCH[/B]".

[QUOTE=Zadrave;37371431]I agree, but I don't like your method of obtaining it through random crafting.[/QUOTE] Melee token crafting seems like too easy of distribution. The weapon is still legendary, it would just be more common, and actually possible to obtain.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37371463]Melee token crafting seems like too easy of distribution. The weapon is still legendary, it would just be more common, and actually possible to obtain.[/QUOTE] Give it a ridiculous crafting recipe Like maybe 2 unusual hats + 12 refined

[QUOTE=Zadrave;37371509]Give it a ridiculous crafting recipe Like maybe 2 unusual hats + 12 refined[/QUOTE] lol or it's a random chance (like <5%) every time you buy an item on the store MONEY

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37371463]but if you color the "obnoxious effect" blue it's on a common item that drops frequently and has a crafting recipe...[/QUOTE] The ice looks less horrible and it's only on one class so it's really not a good comparison.

"it's only one one class" wat? So is the G Wrench

People care about reskins why?

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;37372222]People care about reskins why?[/QUOTE] Because [I]some[/I] of them look cool and/or have neat effects. In my opinion the wanga prick is one of the less-great reskins.

That, and they'd become the new buds if they were craftable. And [B]who the Hell wants another bud-tier[/B]
