Another Workshop?
They barely use the one we have now.
[QUOTE=The Calzone;47311676]mannpower as a game mode is almost entirely based around bullshitting, it's like a quick server mod gamemode where everyone begs the admin to switch to it but after five minutes everyone's like "okay we're done put it back on payload"[/QUOTE]
There's a difference between a "bullshitty server mod" being unfair and it being boring.
I'm really uninterested in playing ctf, but my boredom =/= ctf being a bad gamemode.

They added a ctf variant of s map which is nice. I wish they'd do the same for koth.

Why not turn Sawmill into a CTF map? It's genius!
are you guys so starved for content you consider this a major update?

Based on size in Mb this is a huge update, considering most regular updates are a fraction of the size. It's mostly sounds, but still.

[QUOTE=TheLonelyDonu;47311559]I still don't understand why everybody hates MannPower. Yes it was hastily put together, but it's a hell of a lot of fun fighting a balanced team.[/QUOTE]
That is because it is a shitty attempt at making a Arena FPS style gamemode. Most of those powerups are permanent instead of timed. So far only crits and uber are timed in both active and respawning.

holy shit I completely forgot how much of a joke the prices in the store are. like, wow. seeing them all lined up like this is just a big sign that says "this is the problem."
ten dollars. ten dollars for the scout taunt. you could buy a whole video game for the price of admission for this cosmetic that should cost as much as a gumball.
why are they different prices, too? they're all completely different prices based entirely on nothing. it costs nothing for valve to import these animations, they just set the prices based on which ones they thought people would want more.
there's literally no reason for these taunts to cost more than a dollar and valve is charging ten.[/QUOTE]
This is the main reason I use mods in Team Fortress 2: several cosmetics are really too expansive for their own good
I'd check the price of those taunts in euro, but I don't want to spoil my mood this morning, even if I'll never buy them
A taunt workshop? I'd rather have a map workshop.
But that wouldn't get them as much money I guess

Unless the payment only comes if people buy stamps and filters, doubtful. People have been wanting constant gameplay changing related content for a really long time.
Ca't play atm, but I'm curious if anybody knows how this
[QUOTE]- Added Revenge temporary powerup
- Activates and spawns when a significant game imbalance is detected
- Temporarily grants crits, increased fire rate and increased clip size[/QUOTE]
works?
Does it spawn in the middle of maps like Uber/Crits pickups or does it appear in the spawn of the team that's getting drubbed and/or spawncamped?
Cause it seems that they're just stubbornly intent on ignoring the very real issue of one team hogging all the best powers and snowballing the game into a really uneven beating of a lifetime, as well as players without powers having a really hard time wrestling them away from superior teams with many players on a godlike power level simply due to pickups...
Why do they refuse to just allow everyone to have some basic powers to start with, to make the game more even and avoid all the gripes stated above? If they want a full-on superpower-enhanced madness, why do they restrict the nr. of available powers and their acquisition to one per type and only for people that can reach their spawns or get them from already-buffed enemies? A 3v3 battle between a group of unbuffed players and a group of buffed ones is seriously unfair and bad game design. You often can't even ''use teamwork to beat them'' since 1 guy with the right buff can take on 3+ people and they have multiple godlike buffed combos anyway, it's not like they're fewer in number?
If the ''Revenge'' thing spawns in the middle of the map, it's not only not gonna make a difference, it's actually going to help the dominant team be even more dominant.

When one team gets 4 intel captures every single player on the other team gets that powerup, it doesn't spawn anywhere.

it spawns infront of your team's spawn in thundermountian and right beside the flag on gorge and foundry
also TF_Powerup_Mode can now be set to 2 to give both teams all 9 powerups
blue powerups cannot be picked up by RED team and the same applys for red powerups.

The sad thing is, CS:GO already has a map workshop and so there is probably a lot of code already in place they could use.

Thanks, well that does help with extremely one-sided games quite a bit, but it also feels somewhat forced. I'd much rather see all players being given a choice of a few basic powerups in spawn (helps both players that just joined and all those on a team losing badly ) rather than just suddenly turning the tables on the other team with free godlike power for the losing team.
I'll have to try it a bit, maybe it does work well.

Of course it's understandable that they want to make quick money with the game. But a free map workshop would earn them something at least similar valuable as money: Loyal customers.

You can't make money if you don't have customers to buy it.

You can quantify the amount of money generated by taunts but you can't quantify the amount of money generated by "loyal customers gained by adding a map workshop".
