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

[QUOTE=IcyTruth;37866537]shit, i meant weapons, i'm sorry[/QUOTE] Roughly 65% are reskins or have reused/unfitting animations.

I'm a bit early but... if we get a major update this Christmas... I expect it to be based on a Christmas Carol, with Redmond and Blutarch as Marley, perhaps the Announcer as Scrooge[sp](She will of course learn nothing from it)[/sp]

[QUOTE==DarkStar=;37866950]And still after all that we won't get a free key :v:[/QUOTE] Maybe they'll do what they did for Halloween and grant us an item like the Cauldron, or the Ash piles; 1 new weapon with a chance of getting a new hat, along with a special Christmas 2012 only item sort of like the seal mask.

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;37867143]Lord Exor's idiotic ramblings made me realise that TF2 has lost most of its charm after I started playing Dota 2. A game where the developers actually work on the game and care about it. For example: they removed an unfitting set of items after numerous complaints, something that the TF2 team would never do; [B]Rubick has unique animations for almost every single ability in the game[/B] and the balance is made by a single person who knows his shit while in TF2 it's made by a constantly changing team that keeps fucking up from time to time, too often. But sure, the MVM update and every single Halloween update has shown me that the TF2 team is still capable of doing things really well. They just need to do more stuff by themselves and start accepting custom animations.[/QUOTE] (To non Dota players, Rubick can steal other heroes spells so its actually a big deal for him to have animations for the abilities of 70+ different characters)

[QUOTE=Rigged237;37865519]wow over 500 cosmetics. I remember when there were only 9 hats. We've come so far[/QUOTE] My first hat was Baseball Bill's Sport Shine. Though it is a decent hat in my opinion, I wished I got an actual hat instead of just a hat-less hat, I now keep that hat hidden away in my alt to never be touched again. Who else has their first hat still and cherishes it? EDIT: First Pageking, have celebratory video. [video=youtube;rEPjuvRLAVw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEPjuvRLAVw[/video]

Another day and still no Spy coat. [IMG]http://puu.sh/1akVu[/IMG]

I want them to update the Half-Zatoichi with these stats On kill: restored to 100% health Large melee range [i][b][U]OR[/I][/U][/B] +7% movement speed while out (would only apply after "reaching the point of no return" aka you can't put it away) No random critical hits Honorbound: cannot sheath weapon for 15 seconds after pulling out unless you get a kill It'd make it more usable for Soldiers, less frustrating for when someone steals your kill (a big deal with this weapon) and less annoying in Medieval due to crits.

One dude with it can kill whole enemy team on the last cap if he gets lucky with crits, which happen way too often.

I want Valve to buff the Diamondback. Something like 2 crits for a building destroyed, or faster firing speed to be able to utilise the crits in time.

Speaking of 3rd misc slot, why not a Badge/Medal slot? There is a plenty of badges, medals and all that guff that I would wear, but I'm not willing to give up my misc slot for them.

I really want to get some cool hats and miscs that fit together, since now I dont really have that much stuff that fit together.

[QUOTE=maxumym;37867776]I want Valve to buff the Diamondback. Something like 2 crits for a building destroyed, or faster firing speed to be able to utilise the crits in time.[/QUOTE] A [b]lot[/b] of weapons need buffing. Winger, Sun-on-a-Stick, Mantreads, Half-Zatoichi, Market Gardener (broken crit mechanic), Scorch Shot, Sharpened Volcano Fragment, Neon Annihilator, Brass Beast, Tomislav, Eviction Notice, Pomson 6000 (just replace no-penetration with no-drain), [b]Razorback[/b], and Diamondback. Your mileage may vary on what I just listed.

[QUOTE=AbeX300;37868271]A [b]lot[/b] of weapons need buffing. Winger[/QUOTE] I'd love to see this get a nice buff and some new sounds. It's pretty much the only Scout secondary that isn't balanced.

[QUOTE=jackteam54;37867566]Who else has their first hat still and cherishes it? [/QUOTE] I have my first weapon drop.

oldest item i have is my Soldier's Medal, my first hat drop was obtained through the idling program so I lost it forever, the Football Helmet :( jesus christ testing hats ingame was hard work back then, I used to have to compile them over the top of weapons or edit items_game.txt to replace weapons with hats. Terrible.

[QUOTE=jackteam54;37867566]Who else has their first hat still and cherishes it?[/QUOTE] Oldest thing in my backpack is my Vintage Officer's Ushanka, which was my very first hat craft. Never letting that one go.

My first hat was a Modest Pile and I still have it. I joined about a week after Mannconomy and my friend convinced me to buy it. I wore it on every single class until I got other hats to wear. Damn, was I classy.

I got my first hat(s) out of two crates during a summer sale, both were hard-toppers or something like that. In my infinite wisdom I crafted them together and got a Fancy Dress Uniform, which I still wear whenever I play soldier.

[QUOTE=The Calzone;37859236][img]http://storefront.steampowered.com/v/gfx/apps/201270/extras/Shogun_Veil.png[/img] time to bitch to steam support about not getting a genuine kabuto or date hat[/QUOTE] Yeah, why won't they give me a genuine Kabuto! >:T

you should make your samurai armor for Demoman also (make it black metal to fit with Demoman's Samurai gear) it seems Valve wants Demo and Soldier to be rival Samurai, which is kind of weird, but whatever

Since the Samurai armor just didn't look right.
