Major Update Speculation Thread V22: Steampipe For Reals This Time - Games

[QUOTE=Armisael;40433964]At which point [del]most[/del][B]shitty servers that couldn't update sourcemod anticheat for a week[/B] auto-banned you.[/QUOTE] ftfy [sp]Those servers will continue banning you after the steampipe release the 30th anyway, if valve decides to remove the workaround then[/sp]

So does anyone know what the PN1 update was about?

All the characters in PN2 seem to have different playstyles for me, not sure how it is for everyone else. Ash goes all in very early on, I've found it good to place high bets early on so I can get a lot of money out of him when I'm not bluffing. Claptrap is always really obvious Sam plays well but is not very lucky and folds easily. Brock plays well and is also incredibly lucky, he does bluff on occasion, but by the point you can tell he isn't bluffing, you might as well go all in just in case he is, as he has around 70k by that point from taking 2 of the other characters out and if you fold he'll have too much of an advantage for you to gain it back.

[QUOTE=QUILTBAG;40434057]So does anyone know what the PN1 update was about?[/QUOTE] I think it was something to do with some weird DirectX bug.

So I start updating TF2 to SteamPipe. Right after I begin, a friend messages me. I'm all "I'm so replying to that shit" BUT I CAN'T. WHY THE FLYING FUCK DOES AN OPERATION PREVENT ME FROM CHATTING? WHO DO I EMAIL/THREATEN/STAB TO GET THIS FIXED?

Damnit. Friend gave me a wrapped steam giftcard. I got all excited,wanting to buy PN2... He already used the fucking card. Goddamnit. I really wanted PN2. Also,can't wait for SteamPipe.

[QUOTE=Limie Pie;40433396]I can't wait to see anyone to glitch the Dapper Disguise with Noh Mercy[/QUOTE] i already tried it, the dapper just goes under the noh mercy, there is no clipping

How does it look with the camera beard?

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;40433891]Quit being a fucking hipster. Besides that, I've only heard negative comments about steampipe saying to wait.[/QUOTE] Which isn't really a surprise to many people.

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;40433891]Quit being a fucking hipster. Besides that, I've only heard negative comments about steampipe saying to wait.[/QUOTE] From who? Certainly not here, we all seem to love it. My TF2 boots super fast, no need to validate, and maps are pretty much instant loads. Since the update where pipe users could connect to regular servers, there's no reason not to convert

Uh oh. Is PN2 not launching for anyone else? I really want to know how to fix this, all it does is say I'm in-game for a few seconds and then back to just being online. No errors, nothing. Augh.

Joining servers like I was playing CS:S is fantastic.

I'm glad to see that most people are experiencing frequent Robocrate drops. It really bothered me that past specialty crates seemed rather rare, to the point where traders were still trying to gouge people even after the initial craze died down. (Can you tell that I still f***ing hate salvaged crates with every fiber of my being?)

I kinda wish there were weapons instead of the cosmetics chosen for PN2, the Long Fall Loafers and Spy mask are great, and the knife is [I]okay[/I], but it would have been a lot nicer if we got [I]anything[/I] other than the ridiculously oversized Sam's hat and the... Necronomicrown

It's like they don't want my money.

[QUOTE=wunderufl;40434533]It really bothered me that past specialty crates seemed rather rare[/QUOTE] No event crate has been rare in any way.

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;40434271]What does GLaDOS do?[/QUOTE] She hosts the tournaments and keeps Claptrap down when he starts going about how the robot ladies dig him.

Yo [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=140806767[/url] what a lucky guy

Has anyone else noticed that the sticky bomb launcher uses the red arm at all times? Just found out when my viewmodel FOV glitched. I'll try to get a pic up soon. (Also, PN2 reminds me of how much I hate poker and don't know when to play.)

Who is he anyway?

[QUOTE=ObiWonTwo;40434814]"Sorry but I have to take this Deflector from you since they aren't meant to be owned by players"[/QUOTE] Or maybe because he hacked the game to get one. Maybe.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;40434870]Spuf mod[/QUOTE] For 10 years, actually. That's impressive. I mean, you gotta be tough to stay there 10 years.
