Major Update Speculation: V8: Rise of the Machines!

[Jcorp]

Hey, at least we know that there's a robot engineer now. Like, 10 minutes before we would know anyway, but [I]still.[/I]

[Nibroc]

I think everyone should start with a ticket, that way we get less people moaning, and everyone can get a cosmetic.

[thrawn2787]

i think the biggest thing people may have overlooked is if we have a ticket but our friends don't can we still play with them when we use it? playing coop with strangers who suck isn't all that fun

Ha ha oh wow.

[Yukinari]

FUCK, GUYS, I THINK SOMEONE GOT INTO MY ACCOUNT?
PASSWORD EXPIRED?
GOD
I hope this shit didnt just happen

[Marik Bentusi]

[QUOTE=NoobSauce;37259552]I wouldn't say "Lifetime". That would be stupid. I would be comfortable with Premium members get to play on official servers.[/QUOTE]

Why do you even need a lifetime ticket? You can still enjoy the mode on its own, and all cosmetics save for the badge are tradable - and since they can always be earned from now on, their price will eventually drop pretty low.

At least there were no false positives this time.

...Right?

[spd12]

[QUOTE=S.S. Borra;37259544]Right now our best bet is the engineer getting weapons.

Looks like we aren't going to win then.[/QUOTE]

I'd say the odds are good for a new menu and a new crate, and bugs tend to be part of the usual deal for brand new stuff from Valve. That left column still might make it!

[Croshi]

Fletcher Dunn just said on HLDS email list that not all Valve servers are Mann Up; only a small portion are because they don't expect as many players to do Mann Up at first.

New world dumb speed record.
fifteen in a minute.

[Saza]

didn't it say you need the ticket to play on a Mann Co server
if you do that's shitbull, but if you only need the ticket for drops then crisis averted

[Scarfulhu]

I'm not really bothered about the tickets. But you know what upsets me more? All these people arguing over nothing, and I mean from both sides here. Everyone please, think about what you DID get from this update. And those telling others to "Mann Up", please just be respectful of other opinions.

Personally I can't wait to play this with friends. You should all forgive each other and enjoy this new update. I know I will.

[QUOTE=Archimedes;37259592]At least there were no false positives this time.

There is something hidden. [I]I can feel it.[/I]

[Pastry Ninja]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, forgive me if this is the case as I am lagging terribly atm.

But... remember when the pyro update came out, a metric fuck-ton of workshop items that wern't mentioned came with it?

That might happen here too, keep away those negative waves, man.

[KandyMan]

And then Valve released the update and everything was forgiven...

hopefully it will happen like that

they underestimate their fanbase's parent's wallets

pff, all my money is on the bug and the lobby being out of beta.

simply because they're bound to happen one way or another.
and heavy's not going to get a proper fix anytime soon.

[Randdalf]

So what's your first loadout/class going to be? It'll be interesting to whip out weapons that I've never really used in MP for a while, like the Buff Banner and Concheror.

[Barobax]

What surprises me the most about this update is a lack of loadsamoney jokes...

[T3RM1N4T0R :D]

I'm not whining but they should give at least 1 free ticket

[Zeos]

Reminds me of how bummed out we were when they had so much wasted space on Pyromania, the whole bottom of the page looked like it could be filled.

[Major Muffin]

So erm......looks like my attempts at stopping the bitching and changing the subject to ducks and muffins has failed, take pity on me.

[PyroCraz3d]

[QUOTE=Sardonus;37259582]Gentlemen, can we please be realistic?

We can bitch, we can moan, we can holler, we can bicker, we can chew each others throats

when we all know

YOU AND I KNOW BOTH KNOW

at some point

you're going to have a few bucks on your steam account, you're going to say "Fuck, why not!"
and you're going to buy a few of these things eventually.[/QUOTE]

let's be honest, we're talking about spu-shit i mean fp. sorry, i'm getting confused with all your crying. happy? you guys stooped as low as spuf. goddamn it fp, i thought you guys were MATURE, that's what seperated you from that hellhole.

one of my three concerns with this update gone

now are there new weapons and what about ticket players playing with friends who don't have tickets...

[Ignoritus]

[QUOTE=S.S. Borra;37259544]Right now our best bet is the engineer getting weapons.

No overpriced items. From someone with a good deal of experience with the economy, the new hats will be worth that of normal hats, AT MOST.

[Hellduck]

[QUOTE=S.S. Borra;37259544]Right now our best bet is the engineer getting weapons.

Nah I think we can win. We'll get hilarious bug, and heavy walking anim, and I think the lobby system will be fully implemented with the update.

[Eeshton]

am I the only one who finds this space a little weird:

I imagine all Mann Up servers must be run by Valve to make sure the system's harder to exploit.

[Sardonus]

Valve, it would be a great strategy to release this update soon.

If it's launched, we can't discuss this shit, we'll all be too busy playing, and then we'll be thinking about buying tickets.
