Major Update Speculation V5: Somewhere over the rainbow - Games

Recipe ideas for the weps that need them: Rocket Jumper/Sticky Jumper: Two reclaimed, one scrap and a Direct Hit/Scottish Resistance Rainblower: Two reclaimed, Degreaser and a Backburner Lollichop: Two scrap and a Sharpened Volcano Fragment And a silly idea for all those Pyrovision items: Any Pyrovision item: Two refined and one pair of Pyrovision Goggles Might give them a reason to drop, you know, if my recipe ideas don't work. Also, anyone think that Valve might turn the Pyro Pyrovision items into a set? Because the recipe for that would be. 4 refined and any of the weapons from that set (Rainblower and Lollichop).

[QUOTE=Hell-met;36553100]best part about the pyromania update is that the MvM+Grodbort hype is still very present.[/QUOTE] If anything is more present because of those SFM pictures

I was thinking Scottish Resistance + Gunboats = SJer Direct Hit + Booties = RJer Make the recipes really easy And Phlog + Holy Mackerel + Reclaimed Sharpened Volcano Fragment + Mittens + Reclaimed because at their core, these items are just really flashy reskins (with one new gameplay effect, which is why they need recipes), so their recipes can be a little larger than the jumpers.

the noise the pyroland backpack makes is great fun

Somewhere on Doomsday is the diary, as they added the prop to the game. Also the diary isn't Pyro's, it's Poopy Joes, the description talks about ancient astronaughts now. Also also I have to look into how the Beggar's Booster has a custom reload sound that works properly, without a new animation, and why the Original does not.

Add a scrap to the Jumper recipes and I'll be ok. Also, because the Rainblower has a taunt-kill and it looks like the Flamethrower in non-Pyrovision, I think we should give all the Pyrovision items for Pyro (atleast the weps) their own look. Seriously, how are you supposed to tell the difference between the Stock and the Rainblower if you aren't in Pyrovision unless they taunt?

but really you don't need to tell the different until they taunt, so it doesn't really matter. [editline]29th June 2012[/editline] interesting, they did something to the Baleful Beacon's backpack icon during the Pyromania update I'm combing through and seeing if anything is really interesting. They also modified the vtf of the BLU team's Stockbroker's Scarf, but I can't see a change. [editline]29th June 2012[/editline] they deleted the VMTs of the Baleful Beacon backpack icon, but not the VTFs

I heard about the diary aswell but you beat me to posting it :V

just checked, the Baleful Beacon's backpack icon is gone panic!

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;36553566]I have this strange feeling that we will get another big update really soon. And I mean [B]really soon[/B].[/QUOTE] Well now that the robot heads were leaked, (among other things.), they'll probably have no choice to unveil them soon.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36551967]Yea, both jumpers now drop, and fairly frequently. They just need recipes now and it's perfect. Then we can focus on the Rainblower and Lollichop recipes. Especially the Rainblower, as it has a ridiculous kill taunt the Flamethrower lacks.[/QUOTE] lollichop = candy cane + third degree?

Not sure if anyone's made this comparison yet. [IMG]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/thumb/0/0f/Bird-Man_of_Aberdeen.png/642px-Bird-Man_of_Aberdeen.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090612023458/dexterslab/images/d/dd/Pabot.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;36553566]I have this strange feeling that we will get another big update really soon. And I mean [B]really soon[/B].[/QUOTE] Probably will be after the Summer Sale, they don't wanna blow their content load so quickly and have nothing 'til Halloween. Make it a late Summer/early Fall event.

they're going to have to find some time to add ND's Summer Soldier.

Im guessing end of July

Speaking of Summer, where the heck is the summer sale?

Did you guys seen that? [url]http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/725486/team-fortress-characters-to-star-in-hero-academy/[/url]

If it makes you guys feel better about bodygroups, they probably had the bodygroup ready for this update and shipped it early for the promo. Because the new backpack relies on the bodygroup.

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;36553760]Most of Valve is working on Dota 2 so they can get all the heroes ready before the next international, so it will come out late.[/QUOTE] I highly doubt they'd just say DROP EVERYTHING and work on Dota 2 by itself.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36553781]If it makes you guys feel better about bodygroups, they probably had the bodygroup ready for this update and shipped it early for the promo. Because the new backpack relies on the bodygroup.[/QUOTE] What new backpack?

[QUOTE=Venezuelan;36553804]you post in too many threads at once ;) I assume this was for the emporium[/QUOTE] No, this was for this thread [editline]29th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Killer monkey;36553819]What new backpack?[/QUOTE] pyro got a new backpack that relies on the back bodygroup, which some people disliked because they added it with a promo item, despite denying other items for requiring bodygroups. We need a promo now that adds a Sniper glasses bodygroup

July 7th at 7 oclock maybe?

[QUOTE=Killer monkey;36553901]July 7th at 7 oclock maybe?[/QUOTE] no I derpy derped, it's the ID of the shirt [editline]29th June 2012[/editline] also Balloonicorn was suppose to have a taunt animation, but it wasn't added (but it's set up for one).

So if the summer soldier's added, what do you suppose that squirt gun's stats would be?

I want water guns.

[QUOTE=Kegan;36554117]So if the summer soldier's added, what do you suppose that squirt gun's stats would be?[/QUOTE] Only thing I care about is it being able to extinguish burning teammates. Everything after that is a plus.
