Major Update Speculation V5: Somewhere over the rainbow

[ned_ballad]

[QUOTE=Rigged237;36536400]I keep looking at them in the inventory and confusing the two of them.
It's really infuriating[/QUOTE]

I'm hoping enough people complain.

Nobody cares if a speed based weapon has blood on it.

[ArchimedesAgain]

Weapon skins seem bugged too anyway. I was using the Escape Plan today, and the first person skin is the blood stained skin of the equalizer.

[alwaysrage]

I really like that new sniper, it's a blast to use.

[Rigged237]

What is all the new mvm info we got in this update? I know about the new secret room, but now there are new sounds?

On Blue I get the old Equalizer skin and when on red I get the new Escape Plan skin. Seems a little buggy.

[beasty]

I have a feeling they will reduce the maximum speed on the new shotgun.
I mean i love it, don't get me wrong, it's a good weapon. But the speed boost is amazingly fast and it's only like 2-3 meatshots for full hype/boost thingy.

You know, I actually think the pyro got kinda jipped so far on weapons (unless we get more today). Think about it, rainblower and lolliechop are just re-skins, and ones that cant even be seen without the goggles at that. Same with his cosmetics. Compare that to the scout who got two new weapons, at least one of which is significantly play-style changing, or the sniper who also got two nice looking new stat weapons. The pyro pretty much just got the Scorch. Even the soldier got a more interesting new weapon than that. I'm not saying it was a bad update, as overall the goggles thing is funny, particularly with the pyro stuff reskins, and I loved MtP, and I see usability in the weapons for the other classes, but really, the pyro should have gotten more. I'd really like to see a surprise play-style-changing set for the pyro released today, a flamethrower, shotgun (or new type weapon), and interesting melee.

Not trying to be a negative-nancy, I just feel that as weapons went it was more a Sniper&Scout update than a pyro one.

[ned_ballad]

the Pyro's weapons are a little bit above a reskin I'd say. New sounds, new particles, new taunts and a new visual effect.

The Rainblower is actually a cool weapon, and I'd wager it's more of a Mackerel type reskin, rather than a Maul type reskin.

I can't stress enough how awesome the Rainblower taunt is

As for the new Pyro weapons... they do add something. I am digging Pyroland. They just need to optimize it.

Glad I managed to sell my second HazMat to a dude for an absurd profit.

Gotta love overpayers, man.

[ned_ballad]

I sure wish someone would trade me their parrot for my scout mob fedora

[Damian0358]

So, Ned, is it possible to put all the Pyrovision items (that are for Pyro, no goggles or Baloonicorn) into a set (Name: Music Vision; Item Bonus: Makes your friends (enemies) laugh (shriek) as they look at your rainbows (in horror of being burned by you)) and make the rest of the grenade items (Ornament, mini-Pyros, Holy Hand Grenade, et cetera) into baby bottles?

Also, mini question, can Hydro be seen in Pyrovision (TF2 is glitching for me, so I have to reinstall the patch)?

The most "questionable" pageking I have ever done. I don't want this pageking.... next post is pageking.

If there were "Unfriendly" rate, i would take it and smash yours face with it.

[ned_ballad]

yes and yes, and I planned on doing so with the ornaments and the potion things

you should try to combo that with cricacola and soilder disc action buff.

He and I spent like an hour and a half fighting trading, and he was very open about the fact that he was overpaying. Like the first thing he said when he messaged me was "Hello. I am looking to absurdly overpay for your HazMat."

So whatever man, he knew what he was doin'.

[JohnnyGoGo]

The Heatmaker doesn't have it's own crits sounds, I'd wager that the other new weapons don't have their own either, that's an easy fix isn't it?

But still because of guys like you hats cost 1,5 keys (or more) instead of 1,5 refs.

I don't see how that's my fault considering he was the one that messaged me.

it does have unique crit sounds Valve just set them to the wrong one in the schema for god knows what reason

[ned_ballad]

all the new weapons have firing sounds and crit sounds except the one bugged sniper rifle and the two new melees

1 man overpays you and you are all thinking that is good price and sell it for enormous price.
*MOREEEE PROFFFIT*

Now all "traders" gonna rate me dumb -_-

[Armisael]

There were a few reasons you decided to wait on schema work until after this update, as I recall, and fixing stupid crap like this was one of them, as I recall.

[ned_ballad]

Im going to wait a bit more, I expect them to iron some stuff out over the next few days

So it's his fault that a guy was openly overpaying?
What's wrong with you?

[Netsc]

Has the item cap reset? I see tonnes of people getting drops but the only thing i've gotten is the pyrovision goggles.
Seriously i have three pairs of them now, two of them vintage.

Someone got a message in the console saying:

"The item server is shutting down. Items will be unavailable temporarily."

Yep, my fault. Totally my fault. You're right.

Hold on, I'll go kill myself. I'll get back to you once I'm done.
