Major Update Speculation Thread v12: Layoffs Edition - Games

[QUOTE=Hng;39666812]So is it: Play beta, get drops in beta but *also* the main game? or Play beta, get drops in beta, no drops in main game.[/QUOTE] If you hit your cap in beta, you hit your cap in regular TF2.

So you couldn't idle in the beta and get both items in the beta and main game?

In my opinion backpacks should be shared.

[QUOTE=Rageguy;39666887]In my opinion backpacks should be shared.[/QUOTE] There'd be dupes of every craft # [url]http://tf2b.com/tf2b/suttles[/url] (scroll down to the bottom and mouseover hats.)

[QUOTE=Hng;39666908]There'd be dupes of every craft # [url]http://tf2b.com/tf2b/suttles[/url] (scroll down to the bottom and mouseover hats.)[/QUOTE] Well shit. This is why we can't have nice things.

[QUOTE=RevengeDeath;39663877]So apparently someone on reddit found some maps of Hydro, Well, and Gravel Pit titled Mission 1, 2, and 3. IDK if I am clocks on this or not but I think it can still generate some good speculation. Sounds like it could be MvM offense? EDIT: Never mind probably just the Developer Commentary. :suicide:[/QUOTE] That guy was me and yes, they are meant to indicate developer coms. Nothing interesting.

I think next big updatge is in May/April. Valve's last big update in May was the Replay Update

[QUOTE=WhyNott;39668178]It translated my name and surename to "Ass Semen" Should I be worried[/QUOTE] I distinctly remember some handsome fellow saying that you should stop shitposting.

[QUOTE=Kapellmeister;39668259]I distinctly remember some handsome fellow saying that you should stop shitposting.[/QUOTE] You sure it was me? Anyway... yeah, I hope beta will get the love its deserves after Valve start giving it updates. I mean, back then in 2011 it was cool to be able to use weapons not availble in normal play Thats probably why AW2 is stll popular.

What if they were to hand the beta over to the TF2 Tightrope guys? And let them send in the good, viable ideas to Valve.

[QUOTE=LightFlock;39668378]What if they were to hand the beta over to the TF2 Tightrope guys?

(I still dont agree with the DR nerf through, I would rather see defalut IW buffed)

[QUOTE=bl8demast3r;39665632]Wow the beta is dead. :( There's only like 4 or 6 servers with 0 to 3 players in it.[/QUOTE] It's alive when valve tests something in the game play, which they haven't been doing.

[url]http://en.seoi.net/yurai/?n=pyro[/url] pyro = wife :v: seriouly though VALVe you decsion to add drops in beta to the weekly drop cap was the worst decsion ever remove it, add every weapon in the game to your beta bp as well as pollycount hats any my name apperantly means maiden immature

[QUOTE=Hng;39666875]So you couldn't idle in the beta and get both items in the beta and main game?[/QUOTE] yes, this is how it's supposed to work. If you played the beta for 8 hours and then booted the real TF2 you should get 8 hours worth of drops instantly.

It should be that in the beta you have ALL the weapons already. Easier playtesting,more fun,etc etc.

[QUOTE=WhyNott;39668770]I was going to highlight "good, viable ideas" in your post and paste all the shitty changes they made below, but I see they already removed them from their mod. (I still dont agree with the DR nerf through, I would rather see defalut IW buffed)[/QUOTE] I just checked it out, the DR's resistance gradually cools down to zero after 6 seconds. Can't really see how is that a bad thing. You can survive the first hit anyway, then you're cloaked so you shouldn't have a problem, and if you do, you get outplayed. That's a normal thing.

They're changing the damage reduction? That was my only hope against pyros. For shame.

OH MY GOD GUYS HL2 BACKWORDS IS.... TFTU !!! Seriously, can we stop that? it's really stupid and meaningless. On another note, I hope these beta updates give out some new weapons/nerfs of some sorts.

Remember when a certain mod that everyone loves banned a whole bunch of people for off-topic posting that didn't really deserve it? Now would be a good time to ban some people that actually do deserve it. Anyway this whole .vpk situation has got me confused. Everyone in this thread seems to think it'll be a great big stinking thing that'll make load times faster and mods easier to use, but everyone in the L4D thread is saying it will do neither of those things. I was playing L4D2 yesterday and the load times in that were actually pretty bad to tell you the truth, and the mods my friend and I installed (which may or may not have been anime girl mods) needed to have external stuff added to them from the workshop to actually make them work because the workshop modding thing didn't allow for sounds or something. It didn't bode well for TF2. I mean yeah L4D is in a state of exactly one person working on it so it might be shittier but TF2's larger staff doesn't exactly have the handsomest track record.

Did they finally fix the intro video playing only the audio on startup?

When will they fix Steam Community integration with Team Fortress 2? I feel like only 4 people from the server I play on show up in the current players thing in Steam.

fuck linux, now its always validating steam files

An optional beta update went out: [quote=Valve]* All platforms: Fix filesystem bug finding files in VPK, causing music to not start on game startup on the client * Windows client and dedicated server: Added bin/vpk.exe * Linux client: Fix missing application icon[/quote]

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;39672825]An optional beta update went out:[/QUOTE] Funny thing is, all I ever saw was 6 players playing in TF2 Beta (including me). [t]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/8/81/Painted_Rail_Spikes_5885A2.png[/t] At least there's a high chance of getting a #1 craft on a [b]lot[/b] of cosmetics. :v:

I've read through the past 2-3 pages and Jesus, what happened to posting quality? People are talking like this is a pony server.

[QUOTE=HerSilverHammer;39673581]I've read through the past 2-3 pages and Jesus, what happened to posting quality?

Anyway, I noticed they finally fixed the delete item message prompt popping up when pressing backspace in the backpack.
