[QUOTE=Bryceanater;42691873]Also there is a Skeleton king, what the fuck.[/QUOTE] [url=http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/8/8b/Skel_ability_failure_03.mp3]Son of a…[/url]

could they not hear how off the pyro's lines sounded and go with recycling existing lines instead?! god that's terrible on the other hand, sniper sounds like a fucking boss with these. also everyone else

am i the only who is really liking this this is probably one of my top favorite halloween events

this game has lost so much interest to me

Not too impressed with the voice lines, map choice, or restrictions. Im glad my friends are playing TF2 again but eh. Also what do the Spooky Crates give? Haunted versions of the items?

[QUOTE=Tiesno;42691917]am i the only who is really liking this this is probably one of my top favorite halloween events[/QUOTE] yeah all complaints aside it is great i just like looking at all the new stuff and going "ooohh" and "aahhh" i really like most of the voice lines and spells too.

[QUOTE=Ax3l;42691401]Is anyone else crashing when they shoot a skeleton?[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://gyazo.com/68ab237c3974a7e1843e26f8559ecbf8.png[/IMG] Well, sorry for asking. Christ.

Did they release any new unusual effects this year?

Loving this update, the spells add some zest to the gameplay that is really cool. (Teleport FTW) Also, note that the sackcloth spook has its VMTs reversed. The head should be opaque, and the body transparent. At the moment its reversed, sent an email to eric and he forwarded it. Just FYI.

[B]No self made keys? O K[/B]

Valve tells everyone items will be restricted. Update rolls around. "WTF valve restriction omg!"

[QUOTE=dolphin;42692000][B]No self made keys? O K[/B][/QUOTE] later

[QUOTE=Omolong;42691728]So. Valve broke the UV mapping/texture on the Pin Pals. Maybe we'll get another patch with a fix soon?[/QUOTE] So, that texture is broken, the Carrion Companion is completely glowing, and Lieutenant Bites the Dust has the self illum the wrong way around. I think there might be an update soon.

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;42691947]this game has lost so much interest to me[/QUOTE] its just kind of boring now updates makes it kind of fun but they just last for 1 and 2 days and the game starts becoming boring again

Wonderful, I finally get home after hours of a bunch of bullshit and now steam can't log me in because of the stress steam is getting probably because of the sale and the TF2 update. Its not like I wasn't looking to play the new update or anything.

this update was exciting for me who loves to mess with maps because [b]finally a legit lava texture[/b]

rip in peace steam servers

I understand if they use towards a post that states something. But haven't seen it happen myself where it doesn't fit in.

Hey, new lines are kind of cool, the Pyro sounds downright awful but I guess in 6 years people sound different. Congrats to anyone who got an item in and I'm sorry they're restricted!

[QUOTE=Amish Steak;42692051] it can't be stopped.[/QUOTE] It can actually. It's called a permaban.

[QUOTE=yellowoboe;42692094]It can actually. It's called a permaban.[/QUOTE] Except I've never seen or heard from someone else about a moderator banning someone for ratings abuse.

Oh hey look, a new TF2 update. Oh hey look, a bunch of neat items. Oh hey look, I have $20 in my Steam Wallet to buy these items. Oh hey look, all the items are restricted. Oh hey look, Steam servers down. Oh hey look, fuck it I'm playing more FF7.

hope i'm not the only one who had the ability to reload the flamethrower with the flaregun animations. but in all honestly, and after [I]a first impresion of this update[/I] i can say for sure that hightower was the worst choice for a map. the spells and the overall madness that they cause required a map with more open areas to actually fucking being able to tell what the hell is going on. the map reskin has some nice spots but overall feels incredibly lazing in terms of desing, and utterly boring in the long run. and the chance the game might crash if you shoot the skeletons, or even complete the map itself and get to loot island. i'm going to check the whole map again in a private server in a few more hours to see things with more detail but in all honestly, i certainly do not like the overall presentation of the whole update.

[QUOTE=Ax3l;42690588]All items restricted to halloween. GG Valve.[/QUOTE] I think it's good they're all restricted, most of the items are unfitting otherwise.

[QUOTE=TheJoey;42691950]yeah all complaints aside it is great i just like looking at all the new stuff and going "ooohh" and "aahhh" i really like most of the voice lines and spells too.[/QUOTE] I found a fair few interesting magicks tonight; there was the one with the clustered pumpkin bombs, the brief invisibility, a rocket jump, a fireblast, a teleport, and even what I think was a BFG blast. I think they should have this kinda stuff as a mainstay; Magick Mode where everyone grabs the books and wields the magicks, though Scouts would obviously be first to grab these book-bound sorceries, so Magick Mode would mostly be all-Scouts, as is par for the course with events that involve in-world pickups. Reminds me of the earlier Halloween events where Scouts would be running around looking for the presents, which musta been the days when we had Silas Mann, the Horseless Headless Horsemann.

[QUOTE=SenhorCreeper;42692019]its just kind of boring now updates makes it kind of fun but they just last for 1 and 2 days and the game starts becoming boring again[/QUOTE] no new weapons in nearly a year, no new gameplay in, what, over two years? the game was on life support in 2013 and valve just unplugged the machine unless they pull off something amazing (and it doesn't seem like they're willing to?) the game will slowly dwindle down, it seems :/ there's a reason people were so excited for the big balancing patch even though it wasn't "new weapons": it's because it freshened up the gameplay that not only became static over the course of several years, but degraded due to ramming in new weapons

[QUOTE=Harpie;42692141]I think it's good they're all restricted, most of the items are unfitting otherwise.[/QUOTE] Some items makes no sense to be restricted though. Like the soldier set with the moostash. The bird heads however...
