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

which of the TW games are actually good

Oh jesus christ, that made me realize that the only way to obtain the freedom staff will be from the sale. We have to hope that it drops or else there won't be any way to get it later... At all.

I don't see much of a difference between the Menpo on Demoman and the werewolf mask, as far as problems covering the whole face, to be perfectly honest. If one is allowed all year, why the other, despite both covering the same areas.

(p.s. no, not really) (p.p.s. maybe 6 that is clearly more reasonable) (p.p.p.s. no, not really, really)

lol they updated the store page (again) and changed all references to the Spy coat (even on the old news post) to the Shako. Looks like it's the Shako and the Medic coat today, for real this time. Which is stupid because I bought these games to get the Spy coat...

That is incredibly stupid.

See, this is why you do not buy games for cosmetics in TF2.

so in order to get promo sales they are making promos stupidly hard to obtain [editline][/editline] also what are the odds the shit names are an actual conspiracy to get nametag sales, or is it an asspull theory like "no blue on MVM because playtesters"

We can just pull off what happened with the aperture labs hardhat. Complain about their shitty business practices, confusing promotions and copypasted text to get the shako + medic coat.

So wait, I need to get both to get anything? But they are nearly identical games!

Are anyone else's items kaput too?

For a minute or so ago it said you only needed to buy one and got all three items (it doesn't anymore, back to just Shako and Medic coat). this is making my head spin, back and forth no coat, both games, one game, two coats, and a shako. Wut

Fuck it, I ain't got money for a second one. They should give all three items for buying one of these and something special (like the staff) for people who got them both as an apology because they fucked up big time.

They should have done the Shako for Napoleon only, the Medic coat for Empire only and the Spy coat for owning both.

Did anyone screencap when it said you get the spy coat so we can complain about false advertising and get the item?

This is more confusing than the WiiU's explanation in 2011. And THAT was confusing as fuck.

Here's the old banner from the page [img]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/f/f0/Empire_Total_War_-_Promotional_Image.png[/img] I couldn't find anyone with a screen cap there's also this announcement, which mentioned only needing one game [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/XEbuH.png[/thumb]

i wonder if someone on the valve team has an alliteration fetish

[QUOTE=Corporal Yippie;37834210]i wonder if someone on the valve team has an alliteration fetish[/QUOTE] The Distinguished Rogue?

So... I'd imagine the Freedom Staff would work well with the Demo's unused bottle/Caber taunt. Shame it's going to be such an exclusive reskin.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37833825]technically speaking, it can't be. There's no generic weapon recipes, to craft a weapon you need a slot token and a class token. There would be not class token for the Staff, as it would fall under the "all class items can't be token crafted" umbrella. The Objector isn't craftable for the same reason[/QUOTE] oh god fuck no another 1 bud worth weapon we already have a 7 buds worth one (Robo-Sandvich) and the Big Kill, please not anymore

[QUOTE=Corporal Yippie;37834210]i wonder if someone on the valve team has an alliteration fetish[/QUOTE] You're wondering this now?

[QUOTE=SLBros.;37834238]oh god fuck no another 1 bud worth weapon we already have a 7 buds worth one (Robo-Sandvich) and the Big Kill, please not anymore[/QUOTE] It's community made, so it might drop

Wait, the Staff might not even be craft able? I guess I spent 2.33 ref on tokens for nothing.

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;37834313]Wait, the Staff might not even be craft able? I guess I spent 2.33 ref on tokens for nothing.[/QUOTE] Well, as explained, there's no "everyone" class token, and it's basically an all-class weapon (Engineer and Spy once again pushed aside, sadly).

items dropping

I dropped the sniper hat and the medic coat thing for today's promos. Looks like no spy suit for me. Oh well, I never play spy anyways.

Menpo should have went out to Shogun 2 owners. I assume the cape will go out to Medieval II owners (I won't be able to check for another few hours)
