Major Update Speculation Thread XIV: Roman Numerals are the Best Edition - Games

Major Update Spec Thread X4: My opinion is more valid than yours edition. Lets go back to speculating and the occasional shitposting instead of this feuding. Also, If a Red Medic heals a Blu Spy who is then hit by the 3rd Degree, Does the Red Medic take damage?

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;39849017]Am I the only one who would rather not have Angry Birds promos?[/QUOTE] You're not the only one. They would be as bad as Sonic items that people were wanting. Personally I'm getting pretty tired of all these promos, I want a real update with new weapons and maps.

Huh, the Bioshock Infinite promos, while pretty bad do all fit into the game in some way. Vox Diabolus is based around the rebel group's masks, etc. Pounding Father is based around the Mechanized Patriot who also has a minigun and all that. Can't find anything on the Blind Justice, any leads would be nice. Person in the Iron Mask is actually the mask taken from the Fireman enemies.

[QUOTE=Kapellmeister;39852576]If only there was something to speculate.[/QUOTE] Yeah I wish Valve would give us some sort of hint about what's coming up, either a blog post or maybe things hidden in the code in updates like the did late year for MVM. I know this isn't exactly the prime time for major updates but I'm starting to worry it's going to be like last year and we wont get anything until June at the earliest.

[QUOTE=PSI Guy;39851804]They basically mean you have to memorize more items. TF2 has tens of unlocks, which all do separate things, and new players have trouble learning them all. Imagine when they find out that while some boots add stats, these boots are actually the same as these other boots, but not those boots, and these other boots don't have any stats at all. There are boot secondaries, boot primaries, boot hats and boot miscs, and for a new player it's confusing as hell. Even without reskins, it's hard enough for someone to learn how several years worth of updates all work. My friend started playing TF2 and he has real trouble understanding how to get unlocks, the point of the game, etc. I can't imagine how confusing it is for him when not all items are better than their stock counterpart, and the only way to get items is to do nothing. Long story short they add visual noise/clutter that doesn't add anything to the game.[/QUOTE] i like that you have thought about this. if you think about it, each new player hasnt seen the progression like we have, its all there, all at once, and theres experts at each weapon. if they knew nothing about the game, even the hats would be just as intimidating as the weapons they havent seen, because most other games dont have "pointless" cosmetic items, most games everything equippable has stats and a reason why its equipped, my 12 year old sister (she never touches a mic) was lost for hours of gameplay on servers, but generally accepted ecery dath because she cloud read the weapon desc. and could make sene of her death based on that alone, after about ten hours of gameplay, it was just a matter of learning technique and her own playstyle.

Cockfighter is at very close (if not passed) craft #69, for those of you who may want it.

[QUOTE=Hng;39853384]Cockfighter is at very close (if not passed) craft #69, for those of you who may want it.[/QUOTE] Can't wait to see the description for that.

Everyone in this thread is getting Angry over a (possible) Angry Birds promo :v:

Angry nerds, ahuehueh.

[QUOTE=dix^juracule;39853442]they still haven't crafted all of them, what[/QUOTE] Craft numbers slow down after they reach #30ish by a lot.

Also, If a Red Medic heals a Blu Spy who is then hit by the 3rd Degree, Does the Red Medic take damage?[/QUOTE] [code]damage_all_connected Attributes Associated: + damage all connected (360) (+) Attribute Format: Additive Weapon Restrictions: -weaponsnstuff- Projectile Restrictions: -projectilesnstuff- Class Restrictions: Usable by All Negative Value: N/A Description: Allows the weapon to hit enemies connected to healing beams. Can apply to damaging conditions (i.e. bleed, afterburn, etc.). Enemies that indirectly take the damage receive no knockback. If the Medic dies while healing, the patients won't take the damage. If the Medic is healing a Spy (on the same team) disguised as his own teammate, the attribute does not apply. If the Medic is healing a Spy (on the same team) disguised as an enemy, the attribute does not apply. If the Medic is healing a spy (on the opposite team) disguised as an enemy, the attribute does not apply. Setting the value to 1 or above enables it.[/code] So basically, the disguise cancels out the attribute.

[QUOTE=LightFlock;39855986]. Flies on that sniper hat is a theme, [/QUOTE] I've never got that 'theme'

[QUOTE=VintageCat;39855992]I've never got that 'theme'[/QUOTE] The corks are hung there specifically to swat flies away. Put 2 and 2 together, I don't need to explain it in detail like you're a little kid who can't figure shit out. I'm certain that no one here is mentally-equivalent to a neanderthal and can do basic critical thinking no sweat, also I can say things like fuck and shit and no one gives a damn.
