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

The item server appears to be dead, so no, it isn't just you, whoever's coming here to ask that. [editline]4th September 2012[/editline] [url=http://store.steampowered.com/news/8788/]Possibly related?[/url]

I know this is late as fuck, but why did Notch get his own special hats? Seriously what has he done for tf2? So many more people have done so much for tf2 yet they get jack shit, seems unfair to me

-snip- This post was completely useless. :/

But I could see it something like "hey you still wanna sell your game on Steam? No? aww man, shame. oh btw, here's a nifty exclusive TF2 hat for you. Just a gift, right? Yeah. It resembles your face and all, pretty cool. Exactly what you wanted. Oh yeah, if you change your mind and decide to sell that game of yours with blocks on Steam... call me baby."

I'm pretty sure we'll get an update this week, probably thursday

Tough to pin down when, but the stars have aligned. I agree with this week too. Valve has probably been itching to get a bugfix out.

But I can understand wanting to stick to thursdays

What if they added a new matchmaking for staking weapons or other items, higher stakes are paired together, winning team gets enemy teams bet weapons, with small teams of like 6v6 and some stat tracking?

I have a feeling it is going to be tonight...but don't hold me to this

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;37539963]I have a feeling it is going to be tonight...but don't hold me to this[/QUOTE] I really want it to be tonight, not for any other reason than I like patches and I'm antsy after a week without one.

I'd like an update that fixes some more MVM bugs. The sentry buster beeping still persists sometimes, and in a game a few days ago one of the giant literally got frozen on the drop spot for a good three minutes.

If an update doesn't come any time this week, be alert for the potential of a 2nd Manniversary update. Exactly what happened during the first one, no updates the two weeks before then.

Choosing community items to be added, etc.

maybe Manniversary Pt2 will be the rumored community bug fix update

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37540334] All 3 of them[/QUOTE] And it'll be one reskinned weapon, and two horribly clipping with everything misc items. [B]Fun![/B]

two reskins of weapons nobody really uses, by the same contributor, and an unpaintable, not droppable, hat by a contributor with 290318230912 items in the game. Alternately, 70% of NotLU2, and a huge update with weapons with stats, lots of cosmetics and a great new community made map + halloween version of that community map with robot ghosts.

We'll see the Beacon again, it just stands to see if it's a reskin or not. Not quite sure what weapon it would even reskin without seemingly really forced.

[QUOTE=Damian0358;37540559]What about the SVF? I would make sense, because it is a broken lantern.[/QUOTE] Oh please, no reskins for the Rift weapons. It'd sell worse than Neo's set.

I hope we see the scout and medic grordbot sets soon. [b]Edit:[/b] Pageking, here have a picture of Robin Walker: [img]http://www.tfhq.fr/images/news/image/Robin-Walker.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Damian0358;37540559]What about the SVF? I would make sense, because it is a broken lantern.[/QUOTE] it still would seem super forced. The volcano fragment is a piece of molten rock and magic n stuffs, and it burns because of that. A broken lantern would feel really odd doing that same thing, especially since the lantern appeared unlit in the old backpack icon [editline]4th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Evil_Knevil;37540586]I hope we see the scout and medic grordbot sets soon.[/QUOTE] these have been taking forever. I have no idea what they're saving them for, they would have worked great for MvM

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37540602]these have been taking forever. I have no idea what they're saving them for, they would have worked great for MvM[/QUOTE] I bet you they'll never be released.

[QUOTE=AbeX300;37540730]I bet you they'll never be released.[/QUOTE] Easy promo for Weta, probably sold a nice amount of Bisons from the last time, and probably could do it again. Hell, if the Bison ever hit 50, I'd probably bite just because of TF2. I have no shame. Chances are they probably get the standard 25% from their items also, so it's alternate income (for a company that doesn't need it... but still)

Speaking of the Scout and Medic Grodrobot's sets, I wouldn't be surprised if the WITSB? and the WITCCB? open or at least change hinting at something.
