Major Update Speculation V5: Somewhere over the rainbow - Games

So do the new non pyro weapons come in strange or is that expecting to much from valve? also it's been 24 hours and I've not even gotten the register confirmation email from adult swim

[QUOTE=Whiskered;36537129]Guies do you remember that bubble gun chain gun for heavy? It would fit now pyroland, I wonder will valve develop that idea or forget about it, like about medieval. Also I find new SMG extremely weak. I think it could get little dmg boost around 15% or reduce at least bullet spread.[/QUOTE] Pyroland is a fun little novelty, but I don't think it's anything Valve should spend too much time focusing on.

ugh, item servers are still down for me. this is enraging. that and tf2 crashes nearly every round on doomsday for me. anyone else? [QUOTE=emmens;36537236]So do the new non pyro weapons come in strange or is that expecting to much from valve?[/QUOTE] they come in strange. [QUOTE=The Calzone;36537238]Pyroland is a fun little novelty, but I don't think it's anything Valve should spend too much time focusing on.[/QUOTE] I think it's a way they can add all the stupid looking items they want to the game without pissing off the fans too much. yaaaay.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36537189]OH NO NOTHING uses the old Equalizer taunt![/QUOTE] Am I the only one that doesn't like that taunt? "Yep I just killed you! Now to taunt you by... killing myself and giving you a postmortem assist."

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36537189]OH NO NOTHING uses the old Equalizer taunt![/QUOTE] what? the escape plan uses it i mean the equalizer the one using the broken skin oh fuck's sake

[QUOTE=Roninsmastermix;36537219]i saw some people posting robot head versions of the classes (not the ones on the workshop) where did they come from? Can't seem to find anything in this thread after 40 or so pages.[/QUOTE] A "leaker" posted robot head files from SFM they had got into early.

[QUOTE=Zadrave;36537140]But the SMG sounds way too cool to not use![/QUOTE] That's the exact same thing with the Pretty boy's pocket pistol. Since people are testing out their Rainblowers and Scorched Shots, it's a bad idea you use something with a fire damage vulnerablity... but the shooting noise sounds so cool. :v:

[QUOTE=hogofwar;36537268]A "leaker" posted robot head files from SFM they had got into early.[/QUOTE] SFM? sorry not in the loop there, whats SFM?

[QUOTE=The Calzone;36537255]Am I the only one that doesn't like that taunt? "Yep I just killed you! Now to taunt you by... killing myself and giving you a postmortem assist."[/QUOTE] Killing yourself and one of the victorious enemy players is really satisfying though. Especially if you time it right just so that they have enough time to see you as they come around the corner.

[QUOTE=hogofwar;36537283]Source Film Maker.[/QUOTE] Cool thanks.

[QUOTE=Hell-met;36537261]what? the escape plan uses it[/QUOTE] No, I just tested, uses shovel taunt. ...why didn't they just make a new weapon. Why did they have to mess around with an old weapon ._.

[QUOTE=Roninsmastermix;36537276]SFM? sorry not in the loop there, whats SFM?[/QUOTE] [url]http://imgur.com/a/cUQwr[/url] Talking about these?

I think the new scattergun should reset speed on double jumping

[QUOTE=Archimedes;36537299][url]http://imgur.com/a/cUQwr[/url] Talking about these?[/QUOTE] Holy shit they have textures, I missed that Holy shit Tobor is actually happening

I think the new scattergun should take away your double jump.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36537296]No, I just tested, uses shovel taunt. ...why didn't they just make a new weapon. Why did they have to mess around with an old weapon ._.[/QUOTE] Bombard them with emails.

Okay, here's the Equalizer bug. Did some testing, since it worked for my brother. Only regular EQ's use the taunt. Strange uses the shovel taunt. The new pickaxe always uses the shovel taunt. All of these should use the equalizer taunt :/ [editline]28th June 2012[/editline] maybe... well now it's consistently using it... :/ it's so confusing because the skins don't work right, so I never know which pickaxe the item server actually decided to let me use. [editline]28th June 2012[/editline] remember the unarmed combat fix I literally sent them a week ago yea, that probably would fix this I might email Jeep about it, and also mention how we all want our old Equalizer skin back

So basically the one that gives you faster speed has the explode taunt? :dance:

[QUOTE=7331;36537403]So basically the one that gives you faster speed has the explode taunt? :dance:[/QUOTE] No, the one with more damage gets the taunt but it's not even possible to tell the weapons apart at all in normal gameplay. RED always uses the old skin, while BLU always uses the new one. Arrgg, I'll email Jeep later. I want my damn old Equalizer skin back, this new skin is lame and I hate when they go and change perfectly working weapons

Anyone got an in-game pic of the business casual misc for spy?

I mean yeah it was a little bit OP but couldn't they have just nerfed the damage it does or something?

This update needs way too many fixes.

I'm a little curious as to who was pining for the Equalizer nerf. Granted, I don't really think it's a terrible thing (and I'm a noskill faggot who basically mains soldier) but I don't recall hearing a lot of complaints that it was horribly broken.

Wow that rocket launcher looks ridiculous

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;36537459]why did they think it was a good idea to do this? I mean yeah it was a little bit OP but couldn't they have just nerfed the damage it does or something?[/QUOTE] Splitting the weapons was fine. Changing the appearance of a three year old weapon that looked fine, and then using the old skin on a new item... well that's just silly, pointless and confusing for the player.

RED always uses the old skin, while BLU always uses the new one. Arrgg, I'll email Jeep later. I want my damn old Equalizer skin back, this new skin is lame and I hate when they go and change perfectly working weapons[/QUOTE] The fact that the two weapons use a different skin is tolerable. The old skin was assigned to the new weapon so that people can still identify it easily (consider that most people used the pre-split Equalizer for running away). The blood-stained pick makes more sense for the damage boost anyhow. The fact that they are both picks makes them still easily identifiable by silhouette as weapons that change based on the wielder's health, which is why I think they decided to use a new pick reskin instead of the shovel that was in populus' pack for that purpose. The fact that they managed to get the skins wrong based on team like the Stickylauncher and Scottish Resistance is just sloppy. And I can't imagine what got screwed up such that the unique quality version taunts normally but the strange quality version is messed up. The new weapon using the shovel taunt is just something that they forgot to assign to it when making the weapon, but the old weapon getting screwed up is very odd.

There's no reason to use the stock shovel. I really thought the nerf was a good idea.

Why didn't they just use Action Hale or Sergeant Plushie for the split Equalizer? Or the melee from the Dumpster set for that matter?
