Major Update Speculation V5: Somewhere over the rainbow - Games

you can have a straight visual upgrade. Booties are ugly, bootlegger is not. It's an upgrade [editline]2nd July 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=TheRealFierce;36593896]I can't remeber what the other decalable item was, but I know Sandvich safe was one of them. And I think the Engineer had a couple more Unused taunts, one which was similar to his Guitar Taunt, one puking and the other one was him bonking his head, as well as the Soldier and Heavy having a unused taunt, but it wasn't anything interesting just them showing something off.[/QUOTE] sandvich safe and that new scout bag

About that Engineer's head bonking taunt: It could be used as a way to prove you are not a robot / robo-spy.

[QUOTE=Hell-met;36593905]so people being able to tell there's a grenadelauncher-less demoman around is an upgrade? I don't think you fully understand the meaning of "upgrade", especially considering how you believe tauntkills matter.[/QUOTE] Yeah, it's like saying the Dead Ringer sound is an upgrade because it's unique from the original uncloaking sound :v:

or it's like saying that a weapon with unique sounds is better than an identical, but visually less interesting weapon that lacks sounds.

Even so, the bootlegger is replacing the nadelauncher. To think that a completely passive item is a complete upgrade to an actual weapon simply because it's more visually interesting is silly. It doesn't matter if buffing it would make it an upgrade to the booties, because the only thing that matters is if it's underpowered or overpowered compared to the nade launcher.

Thanks Armisael! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7dRB1nJzI0&feature=youtu.be[/media] Bootlegger and Liquor Locker in all their intended sounds glory.

Why do we even care about lame reskins?

[QUOTE=Citizen Insane;36594115]What if you equip both?[/QUOTE] the world explodes actually I don't know. What happens when you glitch the Bootie Time with the Ball Kickers? I don't know if Armisael tested it.

that bootlegger sound will get annoying

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;36594100]Why do we even care about lame reskins?[/QUOTE] because this makes the reskin a little bit more unique and not a lame reskin anymore. And this is super easy for Valve to implement.

[QUOTE=Citizen Insane;36594115]What if you equip both?[/QUOTE] It plays both sounds. Not particularly exciting.

Man, I still wear my jingle belt for the sounds. The bootlegger could only be awesome.

[QUOTE=Kaze1;36594189]that bootlegger sound will get annoying[/QUOTE] I overlook that by the fact that's how the footsteps really should sound, all things considered.

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;36594265]is the liquor locker the knife sound?[/QUOTE] yes :x pitch shifted slightly up or down randomly That's Valve's sounds for them, not anything I picked out.

[QUOTE=Kaze1;36594189]that bootlegger sound will get annoying[/QUOTE] I'm removing it from my list of things I keep complaining to Valve about now I've actually heard it >_>

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7dRB1nJzI0&feature=youtu.be[/media] Bootlegger and Liquor Locker in all their intended sounds glory.[/QUOTE] I think it should be slightly less loud and a bit more subtle, because like Kaze said I think that's going to get very annoying in the long run.

Presumably the volume could be turned down.

The liquor locker sounds are alright though.

[QUOTE=Armisael;36594334]Presumably the volume could be turned down.[/QUOTE] Very, very easily. [editline]2nd July 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=NeoDement;36594312]I'm removing it from my list of things I keep complaining to Valve about now I've actually heard it >_>[/QUOTE] I might have already emailed them with the video :x

Didn't hats stay on death for a brief time? I've been noticing death turns into some merged conglomerate from hell.

[QUOTE=Grimhound;36594592]Didn't hats stay on death for a brief time? I've been noticing death turns into some merged conglomerate from hell.[/QUOTE] hats used to fall off (some of them), then they started just disappearing around christmas. Now they disappear AND the stock hats comes back on because of bodygroup errors. On anything that doesn't fall off, it just clips right into the stock hat.

well I'd imagine it won't sound that higher or be as noticeable when you're playing on a pub so it will be somewhat tolerable.

[QUOTE=Kaze1;36595100]well I'd imagine it won't sound that higher or be as noticeable when you're playing on a pub so it will be somewhat tolerable.[/QUOTE] I suggested to valve to lower the volume by a lot

suggest they fix my bottle too

[QUOTE=NeoDement;36595276]suggest they fix my bottle too[/QUOTE] what you need to do is make your email very easy for them to reference things and figure out what the bug is. So give them the specific file names of the broken bottle, inform them that the bottle has this behavior, and suggest that maybe it's actually bugged, and that it might be set up properly on their end. They don't seem to respond to "your forgot to do this" but more to "this seems to have been the intended feature, but it does not work that way" and also the more technical details and specific file names the better. Chaofanait (awesome particle dude) knows this first hand, as it's taken like... maybe a week tops for Valve to implement things he suggests because he gets very technical and explains how it works and why it might be missing. My most successful emails have been that way also. "Here's the bug, here's what seemed intended, here's a fix for that, or the files where you can see that it was intended the other way" [editline]2nd July 2012[/editline] I know it's weird, but they seem to fix things faster when they're phrased in a way that makes them "broken" rather than forgotten.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36593938]you can have a straight visual upgrade. Booties are ugly, bootlegger is not. It's an upgrade[/QUOTE] opinions? you think it's ugly, so everyone else thinks so? personally I love the booties, because they look like sharp pieces of armor. also I love the actual bootlegger sound. The chest sound is the one that could really get annoying IMO.

I wish they'd just add your kill icons to the game, ND. Consistency is the best, and Valve is just awful at that. When are you gonna release the newest version of them?
