Major Update Speculation V16: The Monoculus RIFT Well Spun Hat Promo Edition - Games

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;40056746]according to the Dota 2 dev forums, Valve's vacation is next week Other than no update next week, I don't really know what else that means to TF2, other than obviously Steampipe will get pushed out another week.[/QUOTE] TF2 is deader than Elvis

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;40056746]according to the Dota 2 dev forums, Valve's vacation is next week[/QUOTE] Which thread was it stated in? Either I'm not looking hard enough or I can't find it.

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;40056875]Which thread was it stated in? Either I'm not looking hard enough or I can't find it.[/QUOTE] oh, it was actually Reddit [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/1b2jyz/dota_2_patch_speculation_for_27th/[/url] it wasn't anything official, just someone stating it.

So now we can speculate when SteamPipe it's coming, my bet it's by the end of May, at best. Of course I'm talking about DoD:S.

I'm thinking late April, early May. Or it could be our yearly June major update, heh

I'm really disappointed that the Brass Beast is so mediocre, I'd love to roll motorized Patriot all day, but I feel so... out of place.

a tighter cone of fire on the Brass Beast would be amazing. Although it might actually be too powerful.

I'm predicting 2nd week of April for DoD:S' conversion (of course assuming those rumors which need lots of grains of salt applied about the vacation are true).

If they reduced the spread it'd be really good, you'd be like a slightly mobile sentry. It's just too slow right now, and the spread miniguns have means you can move just a little bit and dominate a heavy.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;40056945]a tighter cone of fire on the Brass Beast would be amazing. Although it might actually be too powerful.[/QUOTE] That would be great, unfortunately I find it just a boring weapon, damage boost isn't really what the minigun needs, as it is just kinda... you're going to kill the same thing anyways, so maybe it's an anti-heavy weapon, but even then it makes him a sitting duck, not worth it for like, 60-100 extra damage

Brass Beast is a good minigun, it allows you to do more damage from further away and kill people faster. It just requires better positioning and planning.

[QUOTE=Drury;40057133]Brass Beast is a good minigun, it allows you to do more damage from further away and kill people faster.

oh my god i just realized the Borderlands rep could be Tiny Tina no NO

I just might have to play that game in 'the sound of silence' mode if tina's in it.

I haven't noticed anyone say we had no update yesterday, maybe something big is coming Thursday? Or too much rainbows?

Isn't there some update for Dota 2 on that day though?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;40056945]a tighter cone of fire on the Brass Beast would be amazing. Although it might actually be too powerful.[/QUOTE] I almost wish all miniguns would get a tighter cone of fire but coupled with a spin-up nerf or some other balancing obviously. As a heavy main anything to make the class take more effort would be well appreciated. I really think heavy is a case of too many strengths but not in the right places. I don't know just my opinion I still love the class anyway. It's interesting to think we might be getting a Major Update based around the big guy this summer following the trend of Medic, Pyro, etc. I'd like to see some major changes to the class to some longstanding issues.

Nah, miniguns are okay the way they are. You shouldn't really be able to snipe with such a powerful weapon.

we've had an update early summer every year single they've been doing major updates. I hope they continue this, it's like an unofficial calendar specific update. Usually hits any time between late may and early july.

[QUOTE=HyperTails;40057565]Isn't there some update for Dota 2 on that day though?[/QUOTE] Valve could always do a two-punch hit on the servers like they used to do early last year with Thursday releases. Or, they could (key word: could) decide on a three-punch hit today provided there's a CS:GO update today. After all, it's their infrastructure.

[QUOTE=Drury;40057631]Nah, miniguns are okay the way they are. You shouldn't really be able to snipe with such a powerful weapon.[/QUOTE] Yeah I agree for the most part. I guess heavy is supposed to be easy to play by nature and that's the best thing he has going for him as it allows him to do his duty as a wall of meat when played by pretty much anyone. Just his presence makes him a threat and that's why I love it! An across the board change (aside from spin-up speed which is debatable) would probably be a bad idea. It would be nice to see a new minigun that offered some nice alternate play without being too situational. (or at the very least ditch one of the nerfs on natascha seriously it's fucking useless now slowdown was a bad idea but it got hit too hard. Why not just rework it?)

Also don't forget the 15 minute film was started sometime at the end of last year, and last two June/Summer Major Updates had Meet the Medic and Meet the Pyro. Probably to get all the kiddies who just got out of school to watch it and want to play AKA "spend mommy and daddies money on items from the hit video they just watched."

Fuck keys.

Evil Dead?

I wish they'd release today though April 1st isn't too far off... I won't be able to play any action games for a few days because they're ripping out my wisdom teeth in two hours.

Book on a Key Chain; the greatest scapegoat since Raccoon Crap destroying old hats on TF2. :v:
