Major Update Speculation: V8: Rise of the Machines!

[QUOTE=xplodwild;37259274]I agree that Valve is a company, should make money, etc. I agree that $1 is a really small price. But first, I bought the game when it came out on the market, it went free thereafter, and all I get was "retro" items and a few more slots for hats for the price I paid. I'm sure Valve earns quite a lot of money through the Mann Co. Store, that's one point upsetting me about the "paid ticket". But okay.
Now, let's say I play regularly, like 2-3 missions a day. If I got it correctly, I have to get ONE TICKET PER MISSION. Which means if I play 3 missions a day that I win, I have to pay $3 a day, which is almost $90 A MONTH TO PLAY "THE VALVE WAY"! It is way more than just a $10/month subscription!
THAT'S what upset me.
Valve, do a $15 or $20 one-way lifetime ticket. There I'll be happy.[/QUOTE]
Theres 3 missions, once you complete a mission your ticket isn't taken. Why pay 15$ for 3 missions when you can just buy 3 tickets and do the same amount?
I am quite excited for this update
wait you do still get random drops when you die yes? or is that disabled in MvM
[QUOTE=igotopinions;37259380]Sorry for the obliviousness, but where? This is pretty intriguing.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Pandamox;37259378]IS THE GOD DAMN UPDATE OUT I DON'T FEEL LIKE READING A BUNCH OF WHINY BABIES I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF IT'S OUT FAGGOTS[/QUOTE]
It's not out yet, although I suspect your caps lock key is broken. :v:
[QUOTE=DaFreshLemon;37259050]But if they manage to blow it up, you lose. My question is: why? It's not a real base![/QUOTE]
I imagine there's at least significant importance in keeping up appearances, regardless of the validity of the attack target in question.

Quoting incase you feel ashamed.
Suddenly everyone forgot about strange and unusuals.
On the bright side Ned isn't missing much. :v:

This page alone makes up for the whole update for me. I laughed until I couldn't laugh any more.
This is why I love valve. They anger me through disappointment but then they slyly sidestep my anger with their humor.
There will be about 4-5 more pages of bickering until the update comes out I think.

You still get normal random drops
the hype train cant be derailed by hate, WOO WOO
[QUOTE=dual elites;37259387]
good lord it's the amazing "tell somebody what they're doing" post
you must be so proud of yourself... NOT (just a lil borat quote for you there)[/QUOTE]
I'm proud that you understood that I just said that your tired old reflection technique (that is entirely bullshit if I might add, valve hyped the loot up entirely by themselves) to shift the blame onto the fanbase without actually saying it
is nice!
[QUOTE=Ricenchicken;37259393]Theres 3 missions, once you complete a mission your ticket isn't taken. Why pay 15$ for 3 missions when you can just buy 3 tickets and do the same amount?[/QUOTE]
Because you can do it until you puke on a lifetime ticket. You can only play once on a one-off.
[QUOTE=Pandamox;37259378]IS THE GOD DAMN UPDATE OUT I DON'T FEEL LIKE READING A BUNCH OF WHINY BABIES I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF IT'S OUT FAGGOTS[/QUOTE]
no
God, can you guys stop bitching about people bitching?
At least unlike the Pyromania items & Festive weapons that were only cheap to get via trading for the duration of their respective events, these items will KEEP dropping for that low of a price. I'm not really worried about being pressured into spending on this.
[QUOTE=Cowabanga;37259320]I have a feeling they'll release a full time ticket.[/QUOTE]
Doubt it, the concept is too similar to keys and they haven't changes their stance on those.
[QUOTE=testinglol;37259332]please don't spoil anything, final boss, lines after it is out. thanks.[/QUOTE]
Wrong thread, buddy.
[QUOTE=Strongbad;37259353]I guess you must have not read the part where you CAN'T GET THE ITEMS WITHOUT PAYING[/QUOTE]
FAQ mentions everything is tradable (except the tracking badge I guess), and I bet traders are gonna farm the crap out of this mode. Wait for the price to drop within the first month and then reconsider.
[QUOTE=oldage;37259402]wait you do still get random drops when you die yes? or is that disabled in MvM[/QUOTE]
it says right in the FAQ that is still in. also it was never "when you die." it was at random times, it just told you about it when you died.
[QUOTE=kooper44;37259348]Wait, so isn't this basically like keys, except you won't get some crappy weapon you don't want?[/QUOTE]
yes, it's ironic and hilarious that people are willing to pay for keys and not tickets that [B]guarantee[/B] a cosmetic item
[QUOTE=Lefter;37259408]Quoting incase you feel ashamed.[/QUOTE]
why would i be ashamed of not wanting to scour 20+ pages of people bitching about i don't even know what the fuck to find out if it's out or not. i haven't followed anything TF2 related in a few years and this is the only update i could give a shit about
Next thing you know, people will start bitching about how bad unusuals are because they require a key :|

waiting for the actual update
At least the tickets will be really cheap metal wise.
I like spam.
I eat it every day.
update time
It's day 3 of Pyromania all over again. Except this time we had no new weapons at all.
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW DOES THE TOUR OF DUTY TICKETS WORK?!
I SAW SOMEONE USING CAPSLOCK SO WHY NOT.
