Major Update Speculation V5: Somewhere over the rainbow - Games

[QUOTE=Scarabix;36896592][IMG]http://facepunch.com/image.php?u=418127&dateline=1342985563[/IMG] [B]GIVE HER THE SCHEMA[/B][/QUOTE] - Descartes, on Valve software

Spent $5 on a can of Purple, 2 Name Tags, and 2 Desc Tags. Nice.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36907026]the economist probably had something to do with it. Right off the bat TF2'a name tags were 5x more expensive than Dota2's. This meant right off the bat, TF2's name tags were worth more than Dota2's, and this is something they really wanted (and needed to change). Now they're the same prices, so we'll have to see if the price dips down from the refined it's at now. Will people, frustrated by needing a refined, go and just buy a name tag, thus lowering the price of them in metal? I think they will. 99 cents is impulse buy territory. Paint is probably for a similar reason. The weekly workshop items are now priced comparably with their peer items. They started high and then came down, probably because they had no major update to boost their sales.[/QUOTE] They most certainly are impulse buys now! I impulsively bought three name tags an hour ago and let 4Chan name things. The results... well, they weren't pretty.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36906257]Oh wow, ALL paint got its price chopped in half. Seems the only tools not slashed were gift wrap and backpack expanders (and obviously keys)[/QUOTE] It did? The Team Colored paints still appear to be 2.49 each for me; black and white still 4.99.

As someone who din't have any money during the real sale, these price drops are very appreciated c:

[QUOTE=Kegan;36911068]I've been wondering for awhile: How the fuck does one dupe items anyway[/QUOTE] This time around, it involves gift wrap. That's all I can say otherwise I'd probably get the hammer here if I shared exact repro details. Doing so will get you trade banned, so don't even think about doing so if you find out through other means.

[QUOTE=Skunky;36901688][img]http://i.imgur.com/GFKAB.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] I didn't know there was more pics of it or that it was made by Ronin. That looks much better than the promo items we got.

[QUOTE=royaldanney;36903839]3dnj is a pretty popular person amgongst mappers. Maybe tf2maps is gonna be involved, again?[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure they're just doing what they did with Barnblitz - getting a talented mapper to develop a community map more closely with Valve.

[QUOTE=testinglol;36912032][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ebsh4.png[/IMG] a small teaser of upcoming update. my gift to fp :p[/QUOTE] Looks extreme-oriental. I would place my bet on the wan hu pack, however it's been deemed incompatible with the artstyle in an email to the creator. I'll be extremely optimistic and place my bet on this: [url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/reznorsrage/myworkshopfiles/?appid=440[/url] It would require new anims. This could also be the hero academy update, but then I would be disappointed.

That actually looks more like the map from the Emporium's Halloween update to me. At least I think it was there - the map that I think was payload on the streets of old? Maybe it was medieval. [QUOTE=testinglol;36912128]<- always posts fake stuff. right?[/QUOTE] It's not that you post fake stuff, it's that a majority of the time you post unhelpful stuff. Either things we already know, or things that are too vague to really help anyone because you're almost guaranteed to be right. Last time you gave out any good information (besides this) was in the PM that - and I stand by this opinion of you at the time, you do seem to have grown out of it - you were acting like a giant child over and gave it out only to a few people and told them not to tell anyone anything from it, which really ruins the whole idea of this thread since it's built for people to spark ideas off eachother. [QUOTE=testinglol;36912674]when did i post unhelpful stuff? i was going to post it publicly. i said that im going to post it soon. people went crazy because it took time. some people started shouting and stuff. said that im lying. i sent them to some people. then they started flaming more because they didn't get it. i left thread and came back when people forget about it. i posted it later anyway. and people said that they knew it. because manifest thing happened before i posted it.[/QUOTE] I'm not going to argue with you as you decided in your infinite wisdom that I shouldn't get the PM for doubting you or calling you childish or whatever, so I don't know the full extent of the information you supplied and i'm not going to pretend I did. Everything that was posted out of that PM, we either already knew about or was, as I said, extremely vague. You took every single attack at your information as though they attacking you instead, and then acted offended over people doubting a person who joined, at the time, very recently with a name like "testinglol", claiming pretty much that you knew everything there was to know about the whole thing. That's what I know, and that's what I take as childish. You seem to be acting less childish now, and almost all of your information has proven valid, vague/known or otherwise. I don't doubt you, and I don't want to argue with you, but I stand my opinion of you at the time.

Misunderstood servant of the people.

he's the leaker we deserve, but not the one we need.

Maybe I'm looking at it wrong but it kind of looks like a frame out of a video.

Just out of curiosity, you get this info without people breaking NDA's right?
