Major Update Speculation: V8: Rise of the Machines!

[Maruhai]

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;37873817]But the Mann Co Package runs off the regular drop system list. It'd also have the origin of Gifted not Support Granted.[/QUOTE]
Well, the owner of the "Support Granted" item says he got it via the Package.

I'm only beliving him.

[ZVAARI]

[QUOTE=AbeX300;37873764]But wait, [URL="http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Old_man_glitch"]you don't talk to Redmond at the north of Kong King, allow him to demonstrate how to catch a Spy, then immediately change maps to Teufort, swim up and down along the east side of the bridge to find the Missingno. item, all while having your name's end-name marker at the third, fifth, or seventh letter that is either G, H, J, M, S, T, ;, a, b, c, m, o, p, or v![/URL] That's nonsense![/QUOTE]

However you can [URL="http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mew_glitch"]encounter the Trainer Scout at cp_route25, press Esc just as he's about to encouter you, change server for one with mvm_cerulean_gym, defeat all the waves and then go to cp_route24 so you can, after a few deaths, drop a level 5 Golden Wrench.

True story.

I think unpackages show up as "gifted" or "store promotion" and not "support granted".

[ZVAARI]

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37873814]if he got it via the package, it would say it was from the package. It says it's support granted, which I'm inclined to believe, given it's odd circumstances.[/QUOTE]

Even if that's the case, item 699 shouldn't even exist, no?

[Skunky]

Holy shit, my head.

[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]

I've always been an advocator of it giving crits on Engineer and Medic backstab kills. More incentive for Spies to go for high-value targets.

[ned_ballad]

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;37873839]ned, you'll probably want to request dibs for the next thread as we're 300 posts away from the autolock (which it looks like we'll finally be able to achieve for the longest time).[/QUOTE]
After last time, I'm kind of intimidated to make the thread early heh

[TheRealFierce]

[QUOTE=TheRealFierce;37871591]Thank lord. They lowered the price down on the Master Collection and they still haven't removed the promo item advertisement, suggesting that yes, the items will most likely stay. Though the overall price is still more then the diamond ring, but not by much. Which means that the Freedom staff will now be a much better useless item then the diamond ring ever was. 80% more noticable, 30% more shiny and comes with the addition of several other beautiful items.
There is still hope for those who have dreamt of wondering around the field with a majestic golden eagle, a fine silk cape and some wierd chin strap. I might actually buy the pack now.[/QUOTE]

Any sign that there was a promo is now gone, now it's nothing but the Shogun games. No more majestic cape straps available... :(

let's hope for an update tonight then

[QUOTE=SLBros.;37874162]let's hope for an update tonight then[/QUOTE]

I think thursday. They seem to like that schedule

[Blitz n' Barrag]

Alright, to start the hype for the Boss Fight mode during Halloween, I was thinking something around the lines of fighting off Zombies. It would be announced with a comic showing the return of Zombie-Redmond and Zombie-Blutarch. The match would play on a new MvM map based around a graveyard. The zombies would come out of the end of the map with the graveyard, while you spawn on the other side. As the match goes on, occasionally, Blutarch and Redmond would appear, attacking the players. If you defeat one of them, you'd get a misc, maybe a Life Extender Machine backpack, or something for the Spy that gives him they're suit.

And I hope that was enough to get speculation started

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37874170]I think thursday. They seem to like that schedule[/QUOTE]

But I want my Freedom Staff
you do too and you know it

But seriously, let's just hope they won't wait for Halloween to make the promos tradable, craftable and droppable, like they do often with promos when they're released close to a major update.

[ned_ballad]

They need to add the fall crate items to the store and make them droppable also

Brass doesn't get banned for making a new Dota 2 General Chat every month, so I don't see why.

[HazzaHardie]

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37874754]Will I be banned again for making the thread early?[/QUOTE]

so many people cried when you got banned

[wickedplayer494]

[QUOTE=Maruhai;37874879]Brass doesn't get banned for making a new Dota 2 General Chat every month, so I don't see why.[/QUOTE]

You mean the user Banned? If so, that follows what appears to be the old monthly basis.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37874754]Will I be banned again for making the thread early?[/QUOTE]

If Orkel's in a bad mood again. I wouldn't risk it either way.

[Judas]

will I still get a Freedom Staff if I buy the total war set?

[AbeX300]

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;37874903]If Orkel's in a bad mood again. I wouldn't risk it either way.[/QUOTE]

And considering that the next topic would no longer mainly involve Mann vs. Machine, and since he's a (horrifying-looking) machine...

[QUOTE=Krakash;37869839]Does anyone like my Freedom Staff?

So, if someone were to post the new Speculation Thread other then Ned... What would happen?

On a [B][I]COMPLETELY[/I][/B] different note, any puns for the new thread?

Then it sounds like I'm taking it from Ned

[ned_ballad]

Assuming it doesn't close on Wednesday afternoon, I should be fine making it

[nied]

If we're submitting names for the next Emporium, I'd like to submit Major Update Speculation: V9 :PROMOCALYPSE and/or MUS: V9: Classic Mode.
