Major Update Speculation V5: Somewhere over the rainbow - Games

Something that's been on my mind: whatever happened to the promotional items intended for certain games such as Binding of Issac, Dino D-Day, etc?

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;36599006]Uhm, pyroland items are still showing in killcam on non-pyrovision for me.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Fixed Pyrovision sometimes activating in killcams for [B]more than just weapons and cosmetics[/B][/QUOTE] Weapons and cosmetics are intended to be shown on death.

[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;36598936]Something that's been on my mind: whatever happened to the promotional items intended for certain games such as Binding of Issac, Dino D-Day, etc?[/QUOTE] Dino D-Day is a terrible game and I think that the Binding of Issac promos were just wishful thinking?

[QUOTE]Added team color to rainbow-showered players in Pyrovision[/QUOTE] I bet you guys are ecstatic

I know some of the games that had developers wanting to do TF2 promos sucked, so I'm not exactly losing sleep or anything. I'm just curious as to whether Valve denied them or their plans fell through. I think some other games like Pirates, Vikings, and Knights 2 and Lead and Gold were also considering promos. As for the Binding of Issac promo, I thought I saw a post from a dev in my lurker days saying to expect an Issac promo. Even if Valve was denying sucky games like Dino D-day, surely they would've at least taken the chance to do an Issac promo, right? (Haven't played it but I heard it was great.)

Also it's an amazing dungeon crawler.

I think the BoI promo was intended for Wrath of the Lamb. As for the game, maybe I'll check it out during the summer sale. Super Meat Boy was pretty awesome.

Great little time-waster and it can be pretty ridiculously funny at times. I don't know if I'd dig a promotional item for it though, I can't imagine anything from that game looking too good unless it was the trademark coathanger jammed through the Pyro's head or something.

I mentioned this in the patch thread, but in case someone doesn't go there [quote]I was looking a few minutes ago to see how stranges work to see if I could suggest a fix to Valve for the escape plan. It doesn't look like I can. But what I did notice is the Pip-Boy is set up to be strange. It would count Sentry Kills primarily and regular kills as a secondary (no idea how that would work). I wonder if some time the last month or so it was almost a PDA item, and put in a crate as a strange, but they changed their mind at the last minute, or plan on doing it later. Either way, it's one crate away from being a strange. [/quote] I'm interested to see where this goes. Turning a hat into a weapon is something we've just never had happen before, but having a weapon drop and craft like a hat seems like it'll get really confusing later on when there's more PDAs. Or it could just be a strange misc, but that seems weird and not something they would do unless it's a special occasion like the gift one.

Wait... [thumb]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/d/d4/RED_Infernal_Impaler.png[/thumb] Shit.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36599303]Or it could just be a strange misc, but that seems weird and not something they would do unless it's a special occasion like the gift one.[/QUOTE] Well since some miscs are now getting assists on kills, perhaps they might add strange versions of them to count assists or like the Pip Boy count sentry kills

[QUOTE=Mr_Awesome;36599308]Satanic skull for Soldier. Wait... [thumb]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/d/d4/RED_Infernal_Impaler.png[/thumb] Shit.[/QUOTE] this needs to drop. Maybe if I mention that the halloween community items need to drop enough it'll happen

Or alternatively, just have some of the trinkets and minor items act like misc 'jewelry' or badges for the classes. [B]Edit[/B]: If you really wanted to make a stretch, a little pocket buddy style misc of Isaac with multiple styles would be neat, stuff like "Cyclops" for Cain, "Familiar" for Judas, etc.

[QUOTE=ABW;36599328]Well since some miscs are now getting assists on kills, perhaps they might add strange versions of them to count assists or like the Pip Boy count sentry kills[/QUOTE] but wouldn't that render strange wrenchs redundant? maybe it should have a counter on buildings deployed/sucessful teleports/health dispensed.

Or better yet, you can apply a strange part to it making it automatically strange and you can make it track whatever part you want

[QUOTE=Metaru;36599362]but wouldn't that render strange wrenchs redundant? maybe it should have a counter on buildings deployed/sucessful teleports/health dispensed.[/QUOTE] teleports is a good idea, will be not-as-easy to farm in those kind of servers so that's awesome.

[QUOTE=ABW;36599435]Or better yet, you can apply a strange part to it making it automatically strange and you can make it track whatever part you want[/QUOTE] I can see it like this: Strange PDA (Sentries built: 1) (Dispensers built: 1) (Teleporter Entrances built: 2) (Teleporter Exits built: 2)

If you've renamed a pet item, does the kill notification say the new name?

The secret diary and burnt capacitor didn't get burned. The secret diary might have been Radigans. But he wouldnt seem like the type to keep a diary...maybe he did. Perhaps he had notes on how to create robots.

Doesn't look good for team paint dropping. None of the drop stats have changed in more than 16 hours

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36579467]You are in a pretty huge minority that doesn't want the taunt to kill :/[/QUOTE] im in this minority

I'm suprised that Demoman still doesn't have any anti-building melee weapons like pyro's homewrecker. I mean, destroying enemy buildings is one of his main objectives.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36579539]it defeats the entire point of the Rainblower... that it's Pyro's imaginary lala land where everything is happy, but to everyone else it's horrific, destructive and vile. You're not suppose to see the real world version of the taunt because you aren't in the real world using it. Using the rainblower, but not being in Pyroland is just... pointless.[/QUOTE] im gonna use the rainblower while not in pyroland so rebellious says my dog
