Major Update Speculation: V8: Rise of the Machines!

[Bling1907]

B-But I liked Company of Heroes games.

And X-Com, even the first one.

But people will think I want their promotions now. :(

[QUOTE=TheRealFierce;37738387]I don't see why people are reacting so violently now. X-COM promos costs the exact same price and it had one less badge.[/QUOTE]

Violently? I'm surprised, more like.
Who would do such a thing? It's like buying a car for the little air freshener tree hanging from the mirror.

But that air freshener is the most blinging air freshener you have ever laid your eyes on. People will comment, "ooh thats a nice air freshener" and it will both show your sense of fashion and wealth, as well as the respect that comes with it.

I really would compare it more to fuzzy dice, since hats don't really fill servers with a refreshing aroma. That would be more like unusuals.

Remember when the Ambassador pierced through buildings? They should tweak that and make it the primary stat for the Grordbort revolver

Grordbort revolver?

Slow down there, buddy. We haven't even gotten the Medic and Scout Grordbort weapons yet.

[Slapdown3]

And just like that I want a grordbort weapon for ever class.
JUST IMAGINE the sniper weapon, maybe a high-techy crossbow.
Would be awesome, the speculation is infinite!

[ned_ballad]

I think this will be the last Dr G pack, just a hunch

[Totenkreuz]

Every time I forget about the Scout/Medic Grord stuff someone brings it up and I get sad again.

Every time.

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;37738609]Grordbort revolver?[/QUOTE]

No. If we get anymore revolvers, the first one that should be made is a proper Colt. Like, early 1900's Colt.

Anyone who watches Supernatural should agree. Plus, the spy can be a demon-killer for halloween! It's perfect!

[noodleboy347]

I thought Grordborts were supposed to be class packs #2... would they really not finish them?

I can't really see the Spy having a laser weapon. That just wouldn't fit him. I already have problems with the Scout getting a laser-based weapon.

Before the cow mangler/bison I couldn't see the soldier with lasers either.

Speaking of which, where the hell are they. It's been around 7 months since they posted them to the Workshop.

EDIT: Nvm, they had models posted up in June:

I feel like they could be related to the Secret Diary

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;37738814]Before the cow mangler/bison I couldn't see the soldier with lasers either.[/QUOTE]

On the Soldier, however, lasers are fitting, more or less.
I mean, the Spy is a man of the classics and of style. Lasers wouldn't really fit him.

mvm would have been the perfect time
the uneventful summer would have been a perfect time

I was really hoping for MvM update to include the Grodbrort weapons; cause face it, it would've been pretty fucking bad-ass for there to be space-gentlemen vs futuristic robots.

But, I guess the problem was that they couldn't incorporate it into the storyline, seeing as the other two Grodbrort weapon releases had comics to go with them.

[JohnnyGoGo]

[QUOTE=slapdown3;37738287]What the hell? Are there going to be people who buy this just for the hats?
What the hell?[/QUOTE]

If people wanted the game they'd probably wait to see if it will come down in price, however tf2 hats sweeten the deal, I mean why else would you preorder a steam game?

[ned_ballad]

I wonder if the Dota 2 SUPER HUGE MEGA COSMETIC UPDATE (+ Meepo) will come first or the TF2 update with the promos (and probably lots of fixes for the Fall items + other things) will come first.

Either way, I think tonight is probably the night for a small content patch, if even just for those new promos on the off chance they hit milestone one over the weekend.

They could use some secret, short comic where action was set just before mvm.

Any ideas or hints when will that upade will hit? For both dota and tf.

[ned_ballad]

if they accept a lot of Halloween items I wonder if they'll still play games with them dropping or if they'll be proper community items.

Still a bit bitter about last years being the only community items that are buy/craft only (besides the oddball Robro)

[HazzaHardie]

is update tonight pretty much confirmed?

[NeoDement]

I'm starting to worry about halloween, there's way too many items already

[ned_ballad]

[QUOTE=NeoDement;37739792]I'm starting to worry about halloween, there's way too many items already[/QUOTE]

they're not going to pull another year of 3 hats and 2 reskins.

This year's ramp up is the same as last year's christmas, which had a nice amount of content. And there's no reason they couldn't go even above last year's christmas, especially if we don't get weapons with stats.

[TectonicImprov]

[QUOTE=NeoDement;37739792]I'm starting to worry about halloween, there's way too many items already[/QUOTE]

I think it's pretty damn safe to assume someone's getting disappointed come Hallowe'en.

[AbeX300]

[QUOTE=NeoDement;37739792]I'm starting to worry about halloween, there's way too many items already[/QUOTE]

I'm more worried by the fact* they'll add reskin weapons...

*May or may not be true.

[Simski]

I still feel very "meh" about the grodanbort stuff, there's plenty of other community created sets and weapons I'd prefer.

[NeoDement]

well I mean they'll either add too many and no particular items will stand out from the crowd or they'll add too few and lots of people will be disappointed

also if they add too many the game will look notably worse, like with some of the more blatantly festive xmas items (candy cane, santa hat, elf outfit, I'm looking at you (no offense to any of them))
