Major Update Speculation V15: Apocalypse Now! (In a few weeks) - Games

[QUOTE=hamar;39931667]Let's see how much keys are worth... 4-5 refined????? what the hell, what just happened metal hasn't increased that much in 1 year let alone 3 months of people being desperate to increase the value of keys. Sure keys being cheaper in the steam store makes little sense because people won't buy from mann co store, but 3 refined sense not 4.[/QUOTE] Because Valve added keys to the Steam Market but not Refined. Since Keys are an easy way to make money in the market (anything less than $2.50 is guaranteed to sell) and much safer to sell on the Steam Market then Paypal, People started buying them en mass. Since all the other items were priced around keys instead of refined, They also stayed in price but since Valve hasn't created a system to guarentee a certain value of refined, They will continue to drop in value compared to the key. In short, The key hasn't really changed in value but the refined has.

[QUOTE=TentuZero;39930009]I say do it already. I'm tired of having to fucking wait 30 seconds to play on a server that for some reason needs to do it again when when the server changes the map.[/QUOTE] It's even worse when you have to wait 30 seconds and then your game chrashes

[QUOTE=Mario Bellic;39931612]32% already, People must really want Xcom.[/QUOTE] Why not? It is good.

[QUOTE=LittleBabyman;39931896]Why not? It is good.[/QUOTE] XCOM promos should be added to "Tier 3". Watch those sales rising.

[QUOTE=Mario Bellic;39931612]32% already, People must really want Xcom.[/QUOTE] Honestly I think the standoffishness between Bioshock and the TF promos had more to do with The Prisoner’s Dilemma than it did people not wanting the promos. Now that tier 2 has been unlocked people are buying it at a faster rate because they don't feel that they'll have lost at this point. Whereas before there was no [I]real [/I]benefit to pre-purchasing as it only guaranteed a game that everyone interested already owned.

Am I the only one thinking every tier required a different number of preorders?

you know, in Dota, their "special" crates have unique unusual effects in them. Considering how much more valuable TF2 unusuals are compared to Dota, it makes me wonder how much of an increase in keys could be made if there were more crates with unique unusuals in them, like Halloween except for any crate. So for example, the fall crate would have falling leaves, and falling acorn unusuals and that's the only unusuals you get from the crate. But the particle is ONLY for that month the crate is active.

If they also increased the rate of unusuals to 2% or something, I could see them making a relatively big fortune.

Anyone else hoping they'll release styles for the Wheatley Sapper? i would love a Space Core Sapper

[QUOTE=vladnag;39933201]Anyone else hoping they'll release styles for the Wheatley Sapper? i would love a Space Core Sapper[/QUOTE] There is already a reskin for that on gamebanana

I'm kinda sad that the wheatley sapper still talks on after he gets removed from a building. It's like the ghost of wheatley-sapper is talking to us.

There should've been lines relating to sap failures instead of using the completion ones.

[QUOTE=vladnag;39933201]Anyone else hoping they'll release styles for the Wheatley Sapper? i would love a Space Core Sapper[/QUOTE] Why no love to other cores? "Hey, fancy guy. I used to be stylish like you. You wanna sabotage that stuff? Why better not to go to bar and get some really hot stuff?" "Greetings. It needs exactly 8.64 seconds for me to destroy this creation. The gravel you're fighting for is most commonly used in blah blah blah blah." "Put me down. Why you plug me on this thing? Come back! I CAN SEE A BIRD HIDE ME. I don't remember you being in my laboratory. Return me back!" "RRRRRRRRAGHARHARGRGHAHRGHAHRGHR" "You cannot bake cake of this device. Destroying..." "Who are you? Your feet smell. When will you return?"

the Anger Core would obviously be the perfect companion

[url]http://www.reddit.com/user/IHaveNoShameMc[/url] seems legit

[QUOTE=Rageguy;39933341][url]http://www.reddit.com/user/IHaveNoShameMc[/url] seems legit[/QUOTE] Uh I already sorted the situation

[QUOTE=HyperTails;39933326]the Anger Core would obviously be the perfect companion[/QUOTE] Give me an hour.

I want a Danger Rick Core.

[QUOTE=jjjj;39933517]I want a Danger Rick Core.[/QUOTE] Will you tolerate it, if it will call you Sexy lady all the time? If yes, than I'll do it after the Anger-Sap. Also: Man, there are SO MANY lines in Wheatley sapper. I think I'll take other L4D zombie screams for making more lines.

[QUOTE=Limie Pie;39933686]Will you tolerate it, if it will call you Sexy lady all the time? If yes, than I'll do it after the Anger-Sap.[/QUOTE] Remember he's a defective core, if he wasn't making such interesting calls about your (Spy's) identity, it just wouldn't be in-character, would it?

[URL="http://tf2.gamebanana.com/skins/125044"]Here you go. Reskin with custom sounds.[/URL] And what surprised me: Lights on his eye depend on audio's volume. It means it glows with the tact of new sounds too! Sorry, guys. I had to shrink all voicelines to 7 rules. I could make more, but it's just screaming — not so much variety of sounds. Plus it's almost 1 am here, I have a cold and my grammar is bad. I wanna go home ;(

So in that proposed reversed MvM, it would be sort of cool if we got to escort the scrapped spytech cart to hack the robots' mainframe. It would also sort of make sense plot-wise; imagine the mercs had this awesome idea to take on Gray by turning his robots against him (since he seems to have built his empire literally out of robots). The cart could be also used to hack some giant safety doors, like multi-stage payload. Except it would take some time after it would have reached them, we'd have to defend ourselves during that time. Oh, and while we're at it, someone also suggested DOTA-like mode. I don't know much about DOTA, I guess they have minions that endlessly fight minions of the other faction, while supporting them with their presence? That could work (or could it, with 32 players per server?), we could hack some robots and use them against Gray's robots. He'd have more of them, but we'd have us.

[sp]RIP dated Valve Mann Up servers[/sp][/QUOTE] If you want to get some robots under your control look at Super Monday Night Combat. I don't think that Valve will bring this Dota-like gameplay to TF2 due to it's good relationship with Uber Entertainment. It may be recreated in some way (survival, who'll stand longer) but this won't happen anytime soon.

Ye, it's always sounded weird to me. But the reverse mvm should be a thing. It would also make a ton of sense if everyone were BLU, since they are the masters of offense, while RED is already defending.

I dunno, Blitz in TF2 would be pretty sweet.

Wait, the ap saps lights are supposed to light up and his eyelid is suppose to move when he talks? Mine doesn't...

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39935488]Wait, the ap saps lights are supposed to light up and his eyelid is suppose to move when he talks? Mine doesn't...[/QUOTE] Ive seen him doing that many times. 100% he closes eyelids when you get hurt. Originally he says "is that a gunfire? Whered you bring me?!" My version is just roars each time you get shot. And thats achievement_idle. You always get hurt there... My ears...

Mine doesn't do any of that What's going on?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39935561]Mine doesn't do any of that What's going on?[/QUOTE] Earlier in the thread, someone said the eye light is a jigglebone, do you have those turned off?
