TF2 update for 2/1/13

[TheJoey]

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39441052]this cannot be stressed enough

the community needs to stop assuming because everyone in the community knows, that Valve knows. When a bug hasn't been fixed in awhile, email them it![/QUOTE]

before the latest halloween update i emailed them about sniper rifles not destroying pumpkin bombs. asked if maybe it was a design choice? didnt get an answer. then they fixed it in the halloween update itself without so much as a word. so yeah i guess i dunno???

Pause Fallout 3, then pause/unpause TF2.
Problem solved.

[QUOTE=PSI Guy;39440988]That's pretty hilarious. I'm glad it's not anything special like the Robo-Sandvich.[/QUOTE]

but unlike the sandvich, these figures are going to be in Toys R' Us, thus be anything but rare

[QUOTE=Kapellmeister;39441018]>they make a unique item as a promo
WHAT THE FUCK WHY CAN'T I GET ONE OF THESE WITHOUT PAYING FUCK YOU VALVE
>they use an existing item but make it genuine so that it's special
WHAT THE FUCK WHY CAN'T THEY MAKE A PROPER PROMO ITEM FUCK YOU VALVE

Come on.

Also why do they make hair paintable but not the boots or the wings FUCK YOU VALVE[/QUOTE]

um forums aren't one giant mind, those are two separate people, not the same. Your gimmick of trying to force people to not have a criticism regarding a TF2 related thing is getting old

more love for my favourite engie hat
And seriously? the promos are old hats with genuine quality?

[NO LOAFING!]

What's wrong with Brigade Helms and Scotch Bonnets, anyway? They're easily some of the best hats for those classes, and you're getting more valuable versions of them for [I]free[/I] alongside the action figures you bought. What, would you rather have gotten a terrible NECA pin along the lines of this thing?

That fact is only going to hold true for a couple of weeks as it's going into retail stores.

I would've wanted to get something that look like it took any effort

[Bynine]

I would have liked to see Valve make two new hats, give them to the people who bought the toys in Genuine, then provide them in Unique via crafting/drops/and or the store. This just feels lazy, no matter what people say.

[RevengeDeath]

Just got a level 100 G. Brigade Helm, I'll start the bidding at 20 buds.

[Yogpoz]

Not sure if this has been said already.

On a side note how do I down scale my pictures?

Glad they limited it to 10,000 so some fools could get an existing hat in green text

There's no denying its stupid they made them limited just for >Glengarry Bonnet and >Brigade Helmet

[mixshifter]

If the promos were really well-made, never-seen before hats, you would all be complaining about how exclusive they are and how you can't get them without buying the figures.

Happened with the Robo-Sandvich.

[Venomousbeetle]

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;39442310]Happened with the Robo-Sandvich.[/QUOTE]

Only because you still can't get the robo sandvich. No one would care if you could still get it.

This however is an item that's been around forever that they limited a cool toy to give us green text stuff no one cares about at all.

they'd be worthless, these figures are at Toys R' Us

[SleepyAl]

The reason people were upset about the robo-sandvich was because it was literally impossible to get unless you were a select few and paid a lot. People (semi-reasonably) assumed they'd get a neat item with these action figures, however they failed to notice the promos that happened with the Archimedes plush and Ballonicorn inflatable. Since these action figures are easy to get and will be around for a while, a cool new promo that is easy to get and also come with a physical object would be a neat incentive to buy the figures.

Honestly, I bought the figures regardless, because I already own like 7 TF2 posters and having more TF2 stuff in my dorm totally won't make me look like a fanatic. But I would have loved even a reskin, because it's still slightly exclusive. Archimedes and the Ballonicorn were new, expensive items even when they weren't genuine and were interesting to look at, while the bonnet and brigade, while classy hats, have been around forever, and are dirt cheap to get normally. A bottle/fire axe reskin of an action figure, maybe a misc that gives the characters articulation joints, or a special robotic primary weapons (not botkillers, I mean full on robotic design) would be cool, and require effort and wouldn't look rushed.

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;39441282]I don't get it, you guys get mad when the Robo Sandvich comes out because it's only available with the promo, but when it's something that everyone can get you call it the laziest promo ever.[/QUOTE]

are you comparing an item that was San Diego Comicon only and in super limited supply to figures heading to retail stores like Toys R' US?

[TheJoey]

but you get a robo sandwich for ordering the sandwich model...

yknow, straight from valve's store.

[DaWhatTheFox]

I wish I could've bought the Sandvich... but too bad, super-ultra-mega limited and only for the US of A for no good fucking reason.

[Cheezy :3]

Can someone tell me what was wrong with the heavy fists animations? Does it mean they fixed the Heavy's Hands not being visible with particular equips?

[The Lone Spy]

[QUOTE=Cheezy :3;39443090]Can someone tell me what was wrong with the heavy fists animations? Does it mean they fixed the Heavy's Hands not being visible with particular equips?[/QUOTE]

During Pyromania (or before) Valve, for some reason added the Robot Heavy animations to the normal Heavy. The Heavy was using the Robot Heavy melee walking animations, which looked broken or weird on the Heavy. And finally, that is fixed... For now.

[Psyke]

they didn't put it in the patch notes but they fixed the vacinnator backpack too

NECA's distribution at Toys R Us is spotty. At the 2 I frequent, I only saw the L4D2 Boomer once at one of them. Never saw any Gordon Freemans there.

for only one day, the rest was at Comic Con

either way it doesn't disprove the fact that these figures are going to be common as shit

[editline]1st February 2013[/editline]

the tf2 wiki said only 500 of the sandviches total were sold, that is rare as shit

yeah but comparing these to the sandvich is ridiculous, which is my point in bringing up Toys R' Us

In-game Steam Market price just told me that my SF Sandvich woth $2,5 ;_;

Oh wait, it's not adapted for russian prices. It shows price in USD, but without "$" :v:
