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

[QUOTE=The Calzone;39812142]I'd totally love a HF Blade reskin for the Zatoichi and some all-class Raiden hair. Maybe a "NANOMACHINES, SON" noise maker if those were still a thing.[/QUOTE] I still have my old Gong and Bell noisemakers. Sucks that they're 25 uses.

It's not a great map. Everything about it feels built tailor made for comp andit just gets kind if confusing and weird on a regular 12 v 12 valve server. [editline]6th March 2013[/editline] I just played on it yesterday for the first time since it came out

Gullywash is the best map and that's why I bought strange part filters for it.

There needs to be more gravelpit and badwater esque maps Maps that allow all classes to succed without favoring any class as a whole; for me koth_nerve comes to mind Furthermore valve you can add all the redundant mvm maps you want but that fact of the matter reamins that the gametype has no replay value, ans gets dull after 2 or so repetitive play throughs

[editline]6th March 2013[/editline] I just played on it yesterday for the first time since it came out[/QUOTE] Gullywash isn't a [I]bad[/I] map, and it can be fun to play Scout on sometimes, but it is pretty weird. How many other maps have multi-level capture zones like that, or a [I]big pillar right in the middle of the point[/I] that only Soldiers can get on top of?

They should add an MvM community map and have the Robotic Boogaloo community hats as prizes for the new map. It would use community 'Tour of Duty Tokens' that pay money to the map makers and hat makers. EVERYONE WINS.

[QUOTE=PSI Guy;39813949]EVERYONE WINS.[/QUOTE] Actually, everyone loses, because I know for sure that Valve will never do that, despite how amazing that'd be. :v:

[QUOTE=zipziggy;39813861]There needs to be more gravelpit and badwater esque maps Maps that allow all classes to succed without favoring any class as a whole; for me koth_nerve comes to mind [/QUOTE] That's sort of like saying "I'd like a perfect society filled with love, peace, unity, ascetic social ideas as opposed to animalistic satisfaction as the focus of culture and goverment financial support for building hot rods, lead sleds, monster trucks and other such vehicles" Easy to say yeah, but pretty hard to pull off. And then the mud boggers/sand drag crowds will try to pass their vehicles as monster trucks and the whole thing falls apart anyway

I've read they buy maps for around $3000, I'm sure they would make that money back in a few hours after any community MVM map was added to the game. Also Gullywash is a pretty good map. Not the best 5 cp map and and more geared towards competitive play, but I enjoy playing it on 12v12 servers.

I'm also not a huge fan of MVM, I enjoy playing it occasionally but regular TF2 is much more fun for me. I would much rather see more new and community maps for PvP gamemodes in future updates. At the least I hope we'll get a good balance of PVP and MVM maps.

[QUOTE=tempunary;39813472][URL="http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=10077"]MvM voting is up![/URL][/QUOTE] I can't even try the other maps, because one of the servers is still stuck on Maelstrom because the last few waves are fucking agonizing.

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;39817324]Or maybe a sword with UNIQUE STATS.[/QUOTE] It'd basically be a sword version of the Eviction Notice. Dramatically faster swing speed (~300%), lower damage to match (~30%), and of course, "Killing an enemy with a critical hit will dismember your victim. Painfully." Bonus points if it's made all-class (sans Engie/Spy). As much as some disagree I think simple stat swaps can be balanced between all the classes.

Eviction Notice for all class, clearly

As much as some disagree I think simple stat swaps can be balanced between all the classes.[/QUOTE] Attack Interval: -1.6s Son, it does not work like that. "faster firing/swing speed" is an inverted percentage, which means the maximum cap is +100% (it actually doesn't fire at a 0 second attack interval. Rather, it just fires at an [b]extremely[/b] fast speed that is below 0.001s). Things like "damage penalty", which is a regular percentage, has a minimum of -100%, obviously dealing no damage. Recap: "Percentage": Minimum Cap -> -100% (Can increase damage to nearly infinite if not going for the minimum cap.) "Inverted Percentage": Maximum Cap -> +100% (Can slow down attack interval to nearly infinite if not going for the maximum cap.)
