Major Update Speculation V5: Somewhere over the rainbow - Games

I am still waiting for my code but that may be my fault since I signed up for it around 9:30pm(in Ontario) yesterday and the latest that you could sign up to get it today was 12:00am. Also, does country have anything to do with it?

"The system server will be down shortly for maintenance." [sp]Did I quote that right? Only saw the announcement in-game for a second.[/sp]

Well, I guess Adult Swim forgot about me.

[QUOTE=Grimhound;36542599]"The system server will be down shortly for maintenance."[/QUOTE] Oh go ahead Not like it was already down since yesterday

Oh, spoke too soon. I got it immediately after saying that I had not gotten it yet.

Turns out you can't 4 ref+item these sets.

Bit late on the discussion, but besides the obvious stuff that needs fixing I think they made the right decision with the equalizer. The name 'equalizer' had to go with the damage based buff one so it would make sense. As for the texture though, people only use it for the speed buff anyway so I think having the better and original texture for the escape plan is fitting imo. I do understand that it's messy changing the texture of a 3 year old weapon (not that it needed splitting in the first place) but I'm with them on this, it's too late now anyway, what with one having blood on.

These new items are weird. The only way to get the back misc for Pyro is to craft it. You can't even buy it. It's bizarre.

[QUOTE=Justnobody;36542651]Turns out you can't 4 ref+item these sets.[/QUOTE] Normally, I would wonder if this was intentional, but I assume this is just the TF2 team being lazy. Probably just like how they only remember to add craft numbers or crit glows half the time. EDIT: Explained below, never mind.

[QUOTE=Grimhound;36542665]These new items are weird. The only way to get the back misc for Pyro is to craft it. You can't even buy it. It's bizarre.[/QUOTE] Besides Mr Balloonicorn, you can't and won't be able to buy or 4 ref and weapon craft the new hats and miscs until the scorched crate expires.

They're supposed to be sending out the codes alphabetically, so what did yours start with Wafflemonstr so I can know when mine comes?

[QUOTE=Grimhound;36542665]These new items are weird. The only way to get the back misc for Pyro is to craft it. You can't even buy it. It's bizarre.[/QUOTE] It's from the crates too. I got mine that way.

[QUOTE=Justnobody;36542688]Besides Mr Balloonicorn, you can't and won't be able to buy or 4 ref and weapon craft the new hats and miscs until the scorched crate expires.[/QUOTE] Mr Balloonicorn seems like it will also drop. Right now there's no difference between it and any other cosmetic added in the update Also none of the items have sets. I don't know if this is to prevent the hats from having a recipe right off the bat, or they forgot.

[QUOTE=Creeper120;36542489]I registered last week and I still don't get it.[/QUOTE] Well, you had to sign in then and register again, i did it and i got it.

Hmm, item server is down. Update rolling in soon?

[QUOTE=lolzidunodude;36542753]Hmm, item server is down. Update rolling in soon?[/QUOTE] Item server has been down all day for me. Please let this pull them back up.

HA! according to the schema tracker the whole of the schema has been deleted. [editline]29th June 2012[/editline] [url]http://git.optf2.com/schema-tracking/commit/?h=teamfortress2&id=78da1f6c7597ef07c67a7180e0d62650d33d0bcc[/url]

A Dota 2 update just went out, so we shouldn't be far off.

For those who don't realize, you have to sign up for at least one of the newsletters to receive the robot chicken hat.

[QUOTE=hogofwar;36542838][/QUOTE] This update I'm downloading is way too big to be only that.

aww, wish the fucking item server worked so I could try that dead ringer trip on doomsday...

Can't speak for everyone but, I am very curious to see what's going to happen with capacitors and diaries....Hopefully this update will give us at least a vague hint.

Ghost Recon & Quantum Conundrum promos still aren't tradable, piss.

Update is 159.9MB

If I don't get my chicken hat because I signed up when it was first announced they were partnering I will be pissed.

[QUOTE=Combat Wombat;36542965]If I don't get my chicken hat because I signed up when it was first announced they were partnering I will be pissed.[/QUOTE] I signed up the first day, and I already got mine.

I think I deleted the email that had my hat. Hopefully im wrong.

Steam is fucking borked again, holy fuck Valve use that money flowing out the windows to get a decent server already.
