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

[I][B]Thread at 85% capacity. Imminent meltdown in 150 posts.[/B][/I] ___________________________________ So anyway, given that it's looking like this Thursday for update day, should we try to make the thread last until Thursday morning to make the new one? That gives us about 37 posts per day to live off of.

don't forget the blog post on monday.

Looks like No Steampipe For Reals This Time Also, I wonder if the tentacle bread is just a generic movie thing, or if it will be incorporated into the game/lore somehow.

[del]If[/del] [del]When[/del] Soon when the Steampipe update hits, it's gonna be a bitch to convert all those idle accounts :v:

Wait,the Steampipe update is not here yet o.o ? Why I have an access to all the server now,in the beta steam pipe o:?

[QUOTE=Batmans;40454173]Wait,the Steampipe update is not here yet o.o ? Why I have an access to all the server now,in the beta steam pipe o:?[/QUOTE] Steampipe's primary features are in a public opt-in beta. Valve recently made the Steampipe Beta client able to access un-updated servers. Next Tuesday is the projected date for Steampipe's release, with all of the additional goodies that may come with it. So far all we know for certain is that the Robo Crate is a thing that has been out for almost a week or so, and that they like to add crates a week in advance in order to boost key sales. So there will be some form of content shipping along with SteamPipe. It'll probably be some things from Robot Boogaloo, since that update has evidently had some Valve strings being pulled behind it for a while. I could honest not care less about hats at this point, I want to see some big bug fixes and balance changes.

[QUOTE=CrossNgen;40454563]"Introducing Octoloaf, this year's Halloween boss!"[/QUOTE] And then it's just an MvM tank with the boss health bar.

[QUOTE=CrossNgen;40454563]"Introducing Octoloaf, this year's Halloween boss!"[/QUOTE] Here's a couple hats, see you in October for some more hats that you can only wear on Halloween.

Guys What if you need the capacitor to open the RoboCrate The capacitor has no use in the game and its been sitting there ever since Pyromania. Here is a random idea: crafting recipies for the robohats ex: 4 Refined + {Hat} = {Robo type of hat}

The capacitor already had its use, if anything, we're waiting for something from the Diary.

I would rather them not use super expensive items as keys, when I can just pay 5 bucks to get a pair of Robo-Keys. Those things are still expensive as hell, aren't they?

[QUOTE=Mentlegen;40455161]I would rather them not use super expensive items as keys, when I can just pay 5 bucks to get a pair of Robo-Keys. Those things are still expensive as hell, aren't they?[/QUOTE] I think they're a couple ref. No one wants them.

I still have the capacitors I used on the valve ARG chat server. I was one of the first to get a message but I thought it was a server plugin. I cherish the memory, and the capacitors. Does anyone else remember spending the morning on tc_hydro with hell-met and testinglol that day?

It would make sense that a new item can open the robocrates, not some old one nobody has. Having it openable only by capacitor or something is pretty much just denying the company a ton of money and pissing of fans.

[QUOTE=tier22;40455479]pretty much just denying the company a ton of money and pissing of fans.[/QUOTE] Like they don't do that, already?

Speaking of capacitors and diaries, do they still drop?

does anyone know if Valve pays attention to in-game bug reports? Just wondering if the ones I sent today were a waste of time or not.

god forbid us if they still dropped.

You'd be better off directly contacting the team with a 160 character or less reply.
