Major Update Speculation Thread v12: Layoffs Edition - Games

[QUOTE=Rageguy;39396840]toywiz sucks and they'll pretty much scam you and never give you anything[/QUOTE] Jesus thank you, someone else who knows this. What did I try to tell you people? No, don't listen to the toy collectors, they don't know what they're talking about.

I don't think I'll cancel my order from Big Bad Toy Store. If enough people cancel their orders and go to Valve I might just get mine.

[QUOTE=Rageguy;39396840]toywiz sucks and they'll pretty much scam you and never give you anything[/QUOTE] Though this is the general consensus (I have zero experience with buying toys...), it seems the people majorly at fault is NECA. At least, from what I can gather from the letter.

[QUOTE=The Calzone;39396848]Jesus thank you, someone else who knows this. What did I try to tell you people? No, don't listen to the toy collectors, they don't know what they're talking about.[/QUOTE] I remember getting a Yugioh card from there once.

[QUOTE=mphayes97;39396756]Do you follow the lore?[/QUOTE] Apologies folks, meant to say is his ego getting bigger than it already was. And yes, I follow the lore. Always trying to make sense of bits and pieces of it; it's confusing stuff. I did think of a workaround to try and make Poker Night canon (since it's canon to every other game/comic universe crossing over in that game), but I'm not quite sure if it's good enough. Meh, enough of my boring unimportant headcanon crap. Oversold the figures, eh? I had a hunch that was actually going to happen. I kinda want a BLU Pyro.

So since that blog post has officially acknowledged the existence of the figures does this mean that they'll give us the real promo item?

Fucking box Valve goddamn. You know it hurts me.

[QUOTE=spencecool;39396914][IMG]http://puu.sh/1UekY[/IMG] HI[/QUOTE] I-I'm sorry, did that come with a promo?

Well i called up Toywiz and asked them about my Pyro action figure and they told me it will be shipping in about 1 to 2 business days since they recently just got them. So that brought my hopes up a bit. Toywiz DONT FAIL ME NOW!

I checked my order on ToyWiz and and it went from Pre-Ordered to Credit Card declined wtf? I then canceled my order from them and then brought from this [URL="kirinhobby.com"]website[/URL] and they accepted my credit card right away. Im never ordering from ToyWiz again

[QUOTE=Drury;39392806]Yes, you can't just spam a sentry from afar, but you can misfire jump above it and bomb it down with three rockets before it even realizes you're there. You see, misfire jumps are nothing to fuck with, especially chained ones. In fact, once you chain two misfires, you gain so much momentum that when you release the barrage, you move faster than the rockets and they fly in reverse order (but still very close together). [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e4/Dopplereffectsourcemovingrightatmach1.4.gif[/img] It's a bit like breaking sound barrier, if we assume that the rockets fly at mach1. Minisentries are worse. They target you right away and keep shooting your ass till you drop.[/QUOTE] you don't need to explain things to me you know, i've been on your side during the whole thing [QUOTE=Hell-met;39383165]that's the consecutive reload the initial reload on the beggar is alot faster. This is why you can simply tap mouse1 and basically infinitely shoot at a decent rate. Try holding down mouse1 with a empty rocketlauncher and compare with the beggar.[/QUOTE]

My Pyro finally found his way out of Oregon.

[QUOTE=ZombieMannequin;39396502]Bad news from BigBadToyStore. Looks like other distributors are affected as well.[/QUOTE] Thank god my order went trough.

[QUOTE=wtc;39397974]My Pyro finally found his way out of Oregon.[/QUOTE] Dont you mean your chubby firefighter scout?

[QUOTE=PimpinDemopan;39396438]Is the Scout dumb or something, or is his ego getting big?[/QUOTE] Yes.

[QUOTE=Hell-met;39397168]you don't need to explain things to me you know, i've been on your side during the whole thing[/QUOTE] I'm not arguing with you this time :v: There aren't many beggar's users, just to make it clear what the weapon is all about. Sentries can disable you if placed in the right spots (under ceilings), and render you useless even without an uber. But they're not a straight counter to you. That's an example of one way to fight the projectile deviation, like you said, it doesn't matter. Just fly yourself closer, and use height advantage while you're up there. The cone of fire works like a flashlight, and you can make the projected circle smaller in similar ways. Either by placing it closer to the surface (get yourself closer with misfires), or by shining it against the surface (dive bomb). The biggest counter to a beggar's bazooka soldier is the soldier himself. Every time he wants to get something done, he has to rocketjump. And constant rocketjumping costs a lot of health and ammo, so it's also all about the map. When it comes to players, there's not much you can do to stop a supersonic guy spamming your head with three rockets at once. BUT now, for the fun part, a proposed 100% accurate rocket launcher of this type might eliminate the need for rocketjumps. Without the barrage ability and the increased difficulty of rocketjumps, you'd end up with a pretty solid pocket weapon. Not to mention you don't even need a shotgun with beggar's already (not using gunboats with it is quite crippling anyway). You can just spam rockets. Pair that with a buff banner and you got a stew going. A stew crying for nerfs. I think it might be balanced by making it work a bit like widowmaker. Widowmaker allows its user to spam regular shotgun pellets infinitely, assuming they connect most of their shots. Perhaps if we gave it 10 rockets to start with, and a special shotgun that gives you extra primary ammo for connecting the shots...

Well you can now get the figures at Toys R Us as well as Valve Store or Amazon. So thats good enough

Since the figures have officially been released, can we expect an update/(schema update?) to add the real promos?

60.8MB SFM update. No big deal, it seems.

Yay! My figure has shipped from Toywiz! Next week will be exciting I'm expecting both my Pyro and my TE Fightstick to arrive.

Steam decided to close TF2 in the middle of a lobby and the client "updated" even if there was no update :v:

[QUOTE=fendermcbender;39405182][email]service@bigbadtoystore.com[/email] 2:08 PM (1 hour ago) to me Hello, Your order has shipped! come to daddy, demo and pyro[/QUOTE] Valve charged my card a few hours ago, but I still haven't got a shipping confirmation :/ I even opted for faster shipping to avoid waiting 2 weeks like for the sandvich.
