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

[QUOTE=Pocket Medic;37454215]oh god no no no no ono nonononoo Every demoman I've seen since this item was added has worn this parrot I do not want to have to hear that voice constantly in every game I go to it may seem like a cool novelty at first but i guarantee you that it will get annoying as shit the longer its in the game[/QUOTE] Maybe make it only on revenge/domination lines?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37454167]omg [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=92643935[/url] [editline]29th August 2012[/editline] I want it [editline]29th August 2012[/editline] NOW[/QUOTE] If they go for that suggestion, I'd want a more sinister voice. More lower pitch and croaking. It doesn't look like a jolly stupid parrot, it looks like a mean drunk parrot.

seems pretty ressource heavy to record entire new lines for it just make it use the demo lines with a new filter

[QUOTE=Hell-met;37454269]seems pretty ressource heavy to record entire new lines for it just make it use the demo lines with a new filter[/QUOTE] if he only has half a dozen or so, it wouldn't be too bad. I mean, they just added half a gig of voice lines, 80% of which are unused, for robots that could have easily just been filtered.

I don't wear the parrot because the Samur-eye clips badly with it. I don't know about you, but I don't fancy wearing impaled parrots in my shoulder.

This speculation is fun! Need more like this. :)

[QUOTE=DatHarry;37454328]it's a pretty neat idea and all but after like a week or so it would just get really annoying and repetitive[/QUOTE] If it's only on taunts, it'd be fine. Demoman only has like 4 taunt lines anyway. "KABOOOM" "Cheers Mate!" "I'm gonna blast you into thin gruel!" and one other from the caber I forget since he whispers it. His Sticky Launcher/Jumper, ScotRes and Sword taunts are silent (except for butt squeak sounds).

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37454540]His Sticky Launcher/Jumper, ScotRes and Sword taunts are silent (except for butt squeak sounds).[/QUOTE] The parrot mush say: - "Pat pat" after the Stickybomb Launcher taunt. - "Whoosh" after the Sword taunt. - "Squeak squeak" after the Scottish Resistance taunt. [b]Leave no taunt sound file un-vocalized.[/b]

Ugh, I like MVM, but there are way too few rounds to actually have much fun. By the time I had a fully upgraded Jarate, and a sniper with only three upgrades maxed, we were at the final wave.

None of us even made it to the 10th wave before we had to go.

Valve kind of fired all their cylinders early on me, I played only 3 MannUp missions and already have the two miscs I wanted (the Batteries and Pyro Backpack). So I'm kind of left half way here, with no real reward I want until my 6th mission. I wonder if I'll be playing MannUp too much more.

But then after your sixth mission it is like "Oh you're done? Have a shitty weapon".

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37453860]they've all just been repackaged things Beth did in a week after Skyrim was released. Kind of dumb, since it's very public all of this stuff took them a week to finish (total, all of it)[/QUOTE] And in any case they have been better than the Oblivion equivalents (KotN, the house packs). Plus, that stuff was awesome, and I'd like to see more of that, mostly the improved magic system.

Yea, seems like the normal weapons should be part of the tour prizes, while gold is the end game prize. The hats probably could be a lot rarer of drops, especially if they make the weapons the same drop as the hats are now. They could do it, still. Make everyone's silver Botkiller gold right now (because it would be the prize for a tour), and throw the silver into the standard drops for MannUp, and lower the hat drop rate. Or make non-strange varients that drop in MannUp, and have the strange be the reward.

I wish they would've made Botkiller weapons far more interesting rather than just taking the Heavy bot head and slapping it on the weapons. Like, how about a minigun or medigun completely made from the parts of that classes bot? Like a Heavy minigun made from parts of the Heavy bot.

I'd rather want a "bot potion" or something that turns you into a robot for normal play instead of those botkillers

[QUOTE=Hell-met;37455016]I'd rather want a "bot potion" or something that turns you into a robot for normal play instead of those botkillers[/QUOTE] Robovision! Just change up Pyrovision a bit and make everything look super industrial and grungy, and replace the normal playermodels with the bot ones.

[QUOTE=Demon!;37455027]Robovision!

[QUOTE=Hell-met;37455016]I'd rather want a "bot potion" or something that turns you into a robot for normal play instead of those botkillers[/QUOTE] And those would open the way for stuff such as the female versions of the classes being possible to have outside of clientside mods.

I want CPU Bots in regular play to use the bot models and particles (so they "bleed" nuts and bolts). In the real game they could probably make them blood splatter with oil too, which they can't in MvM because of the amount of bodies and stuff around. It would also make it harder to "spoof" bots, as it'd be pretty clear that Medic is a bot just from his body.
