[QUOTE=Escargotage;37742124]nope, they added a notification in-game yesterday that says they will be disappearing sometime on the 21st[/QUOTE] Screenie please?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37742075]I thought they were already gone?[/QUOTE] Nope. The description reads, "AFTER 9/20/2012."

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;37742129]Screenie please?[/QUOTE] I got the note yesterday, it was even dated the 19th, saying "Crates will be gone tomorrow!"

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37742143]I got the note yesterday, it was even dated the 19th, saying "Crates will be gone tomorrow!"[/QUOTE] I got the same notice. Said the crates were going to go bye-bye on Friday.

Is it wrong that I completely disregard anything that has anything to do with Mann Co. crates?

The sword is useless, and the killer's bone chilling screams are what really kills, this shows words are much more violent than the sword. The pen is much more mighty, or in this case speech. The blood flying from his head represents the hardships I went through. The #yolo represents my faith choice. I don't believe in recairnation, and know jesus was a victim of Yolo, not Yolt.

well no update tonight I guess...

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37742682]well no update tonight I guess...[/QUOTE] Should we really be surprised?

[QUOTE=BigJoeyLemons;37742694]Should we really be surprised?[/QUOTE] I was, although learning that the Fall Crates won't be gone until tomorrow makes me realize it probably was always suppose to be tomorrow.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37742711]I was, although learning that the Fall Crates won't be gone until tomorrow makes me realize it probably was always suppose to be tomorrow.[/QUOTE] I've grown to learn that if we're expecting an update, Valve doesn't ship it until we forget that it was supposed to happen. At least, that's the new formula.

9/20 crates dissappear NO GUYS ACTUALLY IT'S 9/21!!!! NOT REALLY IT'S 9/22!!! FUCK YOU WE ARE KEEPING IT IN THE GAME AS A FEATURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can we reasonably expect a Manniversary update wedged in between MvM and Halloween?

[QUOTE=usaokay;37746217]track terrorizer still expensive as shit everything else is cheap still neato[/QUOTE] scout miscs are always worth a lot, it's just the way things are. grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and scout miscs are expensive.

[QUOTE=usaokay;37746217]track terrorizer still expensive as shit everything else is cheap still neato[/QUOTE] i got a track terrorizer + strange sticky launcher for a v. blokes i dont even know if thats good but im happy

[QUOTE=Suttles;37746390]i got a track terrorizer + strange sticky launcher for a v. blokes i dont even know if thats good but im happy[/QUOTE] I wish the Bloke's Bucket hat had a better texture. It's well modeled, and could fit Sniper well both due to his nationality and because fishing just like camping is a matter of patience and wait. However... the texture is terrible, it looks unfinished, like they just gave it base colors and called it a day.

[quote=ASDF from valve HQ]Apparently they're just doing the usual for community items, however they're hoping to bring in a newer compiler which'll make it easier to go over workshop items, apparently they don't go through a lot of items because of how terribly submissions are uploaded, they open up zip files and are like, "what the fuck is this mess?" As for animations, Robin had no idea and he wasn't too sure about the Halloween update content either... Oh, and such a compiler will benefit cosmetic items mostly... [/quote] Perhaps this might be the reason why we're seeing a lot of repeat contributors. People like SVDL, Ronin & such are uploading them in a way that valve knows and understands, unlike newcomers who upload them terribly messy and in an undecodable language like swedish.

Per my suggestion to them, hopefully the new compiler has a checkbox for weapons and automatically adds crit glow parameters :) [editline]21st September 2012[/editline] that would explain why some perfectly regular items (not based on ip or anything) are marked incompatible recently.

also L4D2 will be getting workshop submissions for weapons, scripts, maps and mutations so I guess more new weapons for L4D2! (which it's needed for a long time). also also I'm emailing them today about one of the oldest animation bugs in the entire game, one that actually causes a lot of problems. The Dead Ringer Cloak meter. [quote]Hi TF Team, Thought I'd email you about a bug that's been in the game since a week after the Dead Ringer was added (back in 2009), that might have just fallen into obscurity as developer teams changed and stuff over the years. Since a mid 2009 patch that changed the Dead Ringer's cloak time, the animation for the cloak meter has been way off, jittering all over the place and just cutting out at random times, making judging how much cloak a Spy has just from his view model very difficult, if not impossible (without getting used to it over the years). As seen here: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_QvOpSoggM&feature=player_detailpage#t=28s[/url] Watch as it goes down a bit, then stops, but then jumps way down, then stops, moves a bit, and does this every time (and in unpredictable patterns) so you can never quite judge the timing of the cloak properly without looking down at the bottom of your HUD (which takes your eyes off the middle of the screen during valuable, time sensitive cloak) This bug also effects the Enthusiast's Time Piece (a promo reskin of the stock invis watch from Poker Night), as it uses the same radial style cloak of the Dead Ringer (as you can see this video very nicely demos: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ89Ut8f-0s&feature=related[/url] ) I think this bug really effects game play, especially on new players who might not really know this bug exists and aren't used to it's really wonky cloak meter. Thanks, Ned[/quote]
