TF2 and other Source engine games update for 3/19/13 - Games

[QUOTE=SlickBlade;39975517]Odd. I got the notification that the Beta ended near a month back[/QUOTE] That notification was for whatever changes that were being tested back then.

Well I dunno, the Beta full on ended for me about a month back. It gave me a popup saying the Beta was over and it restarted steam for me. Had the updated UI for a near month now.

[quote]Fixed the uber Medics in Wave 4 of the Broken Parts mission charging at the incorrect rate[/quote] pfff I thought they had super ubers on purpose. Made it challenging.

For those thinking that pinion is dead it uses a standard html file with a flash player embedded, the rest appears to be script based with a sourcemod plugin attachted to assure that the motd serves its function, I use to have pinion for my TF2 server(s) until they screwed a lot of us over with the many hostile and unfair changes to their payment system. Java was disabled probably because of the fear of malicious servers having malware hidden behind their html motds to infect players, could possibly explain the large degree of hijacks recently.

So, it looks like this update also removed the hire dates on the [URL="http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Primeval_Warrior"]119th[/URL] [URL="http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Grizzled_Veteran"]update[/URL] [URL="http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Soldier_of_Fortune"]bad[/URL][URL="http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Mercenary"]ges[/URL] for some reason. ...huh. Anyone else want to confirm this?

[IMG]http://puu.sh/2kIYL[/IMG] And according to backpack.tf's checker thing [IMG]http://puu.sh/2kIZf[/IMG][/QUOTE] Valve has pretty high standards for being early to the party :v: I still wish that the badges would be ranked by how many years you've had the game, rather than when you got the game

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;39973840]that's like saying "i can't play tf2 without a screen, how disappointing"[/QUOTE] It should display the stereo images on the screen, no?

I wonder if they removed the hire date to stop those idiotic threads on SPUF demanding that f2p's get their mercenary badges taken away and replaced with an insulting badge. Because, you know, insulting people is a totally great way to get them to go premium.

I wanna see that VRH being worn by the mercenaries.

GODDAMNIT! This update unpainted 2 of my hats, which were painted black. I'm 100% sure that I didn't unpainted them myself. At first, I thought that I accidentally removed black paint from my Ellis' Cap, which I then sold for 1.33 Refined, but now my black Vintage Fedora is UNPAINTED too! I already sent ticket to support, this will help? EDIT: It seems that my Fedora is still painted (when clicked in backpack, the "restore" button is showing up), but it doesn't show that "Paint Color:" description and a black dot. ALSO, IT SEEMS THAT I SOLD BLACK ELLIS CAP FOR 1.33 REFINED, WHEN I WANTED 2 KEYS FOR IT.. GABE YOU FUCKING FAT BEARDED GNOME TROLL, GO CUCK A SOCK! EDIT2: Yes, it is so funny. I'm laughing tears right now.

[img]http://uppix.net/7/f/3/a7071815c7ddde21bc86d1156980f.png[/img] Only my original badge got its hire date removed, the others kept it. :v: I wonder why Valve did that though.

[QUOTE=Tiitaniume;39989748]How the fuck do you have 4 badges?[/QUOTE] It was an old glitch with steam trading that let you trade untradable items, it got patched a few hours later.

im so glad they acknowledged/fixed the broken parts mission with those medics. i remember bitching about them but since nobody else did i thought maybe i was just somehow being bad? but instant ubers chained for minutes at a time with nobody damaging the heavy really didnt seem normal.
