For the Madame Dixie, I think it should be rotated so the flowers are on the side, and the rim of the hat brought down so it looks more like a sun hat. As it is I'm not sure what it's supposed to be, I haven't seen a bowler-esque hat with flowers in the front like that. Also I'd probably change the color, as the purple doesn't seem to fit with the rest of TF2.
The Detective Noir I feel is too similar to other hats, being that it's formal, but that's to be expected with the theme of the update. Personally I think it's a little pale, and don't really like the pattern on the band either.
The Krakensage is a good idea, but it's just too similar to the original bonesaw. It needs more to stand out. And the jiggleboned meter seems to be there just for the sake of having jigglebones. It's a little out-of-place.
The sword is definitely the best model. I actually like the spikes in it and think they're the best part. The hilt is very nice and I like that you wrapped it in plaid. I'd love to see it go official as is.
The toupee's pretty good. Nothing too amazing but I could see it getting in.
All in all nothing's really wowed me yet, but I still look forward to more. Plus all the best ones are on the fourth page.
the demo hat makes me cum

is it day four
I'm not downloading any thing in hopes of valve making them official items and headgear.
A man can dream...
It's a pity the content of this update is useless on 99% of servers... sv_pure ruins anything fun any more.
[QUOTE=HyperTails;22033803]I don't like any of the hats or weapons shown so far.[/QUOTE]
I'm gonna coincide with this. While they're good models, the ideas behind them are... uninspiring. To me, they're just hats and hardly different replacement weapons with little character (except the toupee, though having character, doesn't fit the Heavy in my mind, at all). Also, the roses on the Dixie could've been made a little cleaner without modeling each individual petal.
But, update's not over yet, and I'm looking forward to some more stuff.

On the contrary, most hat skins work on most sv_pure 1 servers since the default sv_pure 1 whitelist does not block anything in the "player" folders, which is where hat models and textures are stored. :eng101:

Ooh, this is tasty information!

The spy hat is broken on BLU.
I love the demo's sword though.
Bravo my hat making gentlemenn, i applaud your skill and it seems that the steam community also does.... gentlemenn, this is your empire...and the people lend their ears and downloads to the magnificent hats and weapons. Not to mention that the almighty Robin watches over you all
In other words: This update is awesome, almost everyone loves it and i hope to see you progress more
All the hats and weapons are satisfactory I guess (though the flower petals on that Madame Dixie hat looks like a cluttered waste of polygons), but my biggest problem is with the Krankensage. It's just...unoriginal. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice model and a good effort, but it just looks like the regular bonesaw with a meter slapped on and sharper edges. The Krankensage fails in comparison to that Battle Needle that was released a few Emporiums back. That model was way more creative and it clearly showed the amount of effort that went into it.
I honestly think it's a bit silly to give the pyro a woman's hat when we don't know in the first place whether or not the pyro is a man or a woman. I'm not saying the hat is silly, just that the idea behind it is pointless. The pyro is meant to be a goofy person and have the weirdest personality of all the classes, and frankly Royzo did not achieve this.
By creative you mean based on the knowledge it is designed after Little Sister's Needle from Bioshock

Yeah because those hats fit in with the Pyros wacky personality, you seemed to have missed my point. The beanie is meant for the pyro because the purpose of the hat was to give the idea the pyro is a dunce and is degraded by most people on the team.
They degrade him by calling him a woman, thus thinking this is funny he wears his Grandmother's hat
Why would you even bother putting this on TF2Maps.net, with all the pretentious fucks there.
[quote]Sorry Royzo, but these are of particularly low quality. The plaid pattern on the Claidheamohmor and the overly simple shape of the Krakensage just defeat the real reason to use them when their counterparts look so much better, and the low quality texturing of the Coupe D'isaster makes it look iffy and out of place.[/quote]
[quote=Youme]Everyone and their dog has had a mention on the blog. Its not something to be amazed at any more really.
Only one I think is bad is the krankensauger (ill-sucker?? wtf)
It's got a terrible shape at it's end with the teeth, really poor work there.
The others are ok, I'm indifferent to them really as I'm pretty indifferent to hat mods.[/quote]
-Snip-
Yet it says that nowhere on the update page. Plus the fact that it's fan made means that it's purpose doesn't truly contribute to the Pyros background unless approved by Valve and implemented into the game by Valve.
Youme is a douche
VALVe has alluded to the pyro being female so god damn often it isn't even funny, if the pyro's identity is completely unknown why [i]not[/i] have a hat for women anyway?
Also that youme kid is fucking hilarious, I can't believe he just tried to down play being mentioned by VALVe them fucking selves.
Youme is clearly jealous
and fat
Honestly though really feel let down with the heavy's "hat", as a regular heavy player I was hoping for something rather dashing for my gun wearing rouge, instead he got hit with a mop and didn't take it off his head.

I don't see why the community should assume and choose as to what gender the pyro is when the entire story should be produced by the company that produced the character and the characters backstory, unless Valve gives permission to the community to choose the pyros gender. I highly doubt that will happen.
Wait a second, if it's the 18th, and 5 items have been shown so far, we could assume that 5 are going to be shown each day, and Royzo said there are 15 total items, meaning that the update ends on the 21st, which brings this to question.

They didn't give any permission on how the Announcer should look, but someone took the initiative to create an appearance for her, and they used it - granted, with a few changes.
If an idea works and is widely accepted as awesome, there's no reason not to use it. Pyro's ambiguous gender adds so much character of the Pyro with little or no work done by Valve: they give us clues/red herrings, we do all the work of creating the character around estimations and guesses.
The Pyro is the Pyro because no one knows who the Pyro is, and I think Valve will stick to that.
I wonder why 'ol Sparky got so pissed :v:
I mean he makes good shit himself, i.e. the derringer and other great stuff like this :

On a more related note, I like those new weapons and hats. They seem to fit the TF2 style, although the krankensage looks a bit too evil-ish for the medic.

Alright so you're basically confirming what I just said, the community has a voice if it's accepted by Valve.
The sword and the saw look awesome! I'll DL them when I get home.
