Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

[QUOTE=kibbleknight;48099774]I'm probably just grasping at straws here, but this really feels like a stab at how close the 500th update is: [img]http://puu.sh/iKebb.jpg[/img] [sp]just noticed, but that's the death clock watch from the love and war short with a sticker slapped on it.[/sp] I feel like they have something big planned, especially with the afterburner being teased in the balancing render.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=BlindSniper17;48099804]...Only for them to break the game [I]so[/I] badly, we have to get an emergency update for Update 500 and the original planned 500th update becomes Update #519! :v:[/QUOTE] [I]CALLED IT![/I]

Loved the instant switch everyone had at page 49. I see that 30 pages later mus is back to its former glory

New bug: inspecting an item such as a crate, killstreak fabricator, key, etc. crashes the game Also, I'm getting major performance problems on Suijin, anybody else having that problem?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;48107321]You do not pick up ubers from enemies.[/QUOTE] A friend and I tested this by using ubersaw to build each other's ubers in a 1v1 situation and it let us pick up each other's mediguns with their uber percentages just fine. . . . . granted, we used different mediguns and all of the situations I've seen seem to use variations of the same medigun.

[QUOTE=Brobattington;48108004] Also, I'm getting major performance problems on Suijin, anybody else having that problem?[/QUOTE] Im only getting Major Performance problems on snowplow

Holy fuck I just got a Sticky Launcher worth $10, the amazing orange and black one.

When are the camo weapons coming out?

Every 15 minutes or so I crash on borneo. This computer has never had an issue with TF2 before. And it keeps goddamn resetting my contract, I've gone from 58 to 0 to 36 to 13. :suicide:

I was hoping the hotfix fixed Snowplow crashing to desktop It doesn't. Oh well.

[QUOTE=Cosmic feel;48108082]When are the camo weapons coming out?[/QUOTE] They're out already, you have to get them from weapon cases dropped by doing the campaign.

You can't attach Killstreak kits to a weapon with a skin,Star_ tested it live

no one has gotten any cases yet apparently

And now suddenly TF2 freezes and crashes to desktop when I go into the loadout menu. :v: And when joining a server. Goddamn, I really want to play this game, I got university through the summer so I'm not gonna have all that much time for it very soon.

Can't wait to be an unlucky bastard in this as well and get a bunch of shit tier items.

Until they fix my FPS dropping like a rock every time I equip a weapon skin and look at it, looks like I'll be selling them.

Caber isn't [I]just[/I] damage nerfed - it also doesn't send you yourself flying after you use it on someone anymore, which takes away from the fun. :/

So yeah, I just crash constantly. Doesn't matter what map or what I'm doing, if I don't crash immediately I crash by at least 15 minutes. This is driving me insane. And it doesn't immediately update your contract points despite what it says, so I've just been wasting my time.

Am I the only one seeing the Kritzkreig as a standard medigun, sans little glowy nozzle attachment?

scorch shot gives you the jump height of the old detonator

[video=youtube;GmXeJlJFSXs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmXeJlJFSXs[/video] Ladies and Gentlemen, today we gather to mourn the loss of the Ullapool Caber. It was a weapon, a utility, a loving husband. Each weapon from Mann Co was lovingly crafted, unique in its own ethereal way, bringing joy and elation to many Team Fortress 2 players - but none were so special or unique as... our dearly beloved Ullapool Caber. I'll always remember the palpable excitement I felt when the Australian Christmas update first launched in 2010. For the first time in a long time, Demoman had finally received some new explosive weapons - and these weren't your average weapons. These weapons were something special! Heh, it's fitting in retrospect. A weapon that made so many people happy, delivered during the Holiday Season - both associated with bringing joy to friends and family. But, alas, the Ullapool Caber as we know it has departed from our earthly realm. As the Book of Job says, "The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away." And now, today we gather to mourn our loss. How I wish I could spend one more day.... just [I]one[/I] more day, hoping around with the Ullapool by my side. Alas, we must depart with our good memories intact, and instead look to what the future has in store. It's what the Ullapool would've wanted.

Question. How frequently can you get new contracts?

[QUOTE=Rummy.SM;48108304]Question. How frequently can you get new contracts?[/QUOTE] Contracts can be obtained weekly.

So here's something weird: My game no longer has cp_dustbowl. Or at least, I can't run it with the map command. Not exactly a tragedy, but certainly strange. edit: verified files and have to redownload 1.6 GB of TF2 ok

[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;48108314]Contracts can be obtained weekly.[/QUOTE] Well. there goes the challenges... Still a great update.

[vid]http://files.catbox.moe/acb38ac9e8e.mp4[/vid] Not bad

So are the chests just super duper rare, or is there a bug with their drop frequency? None are on the market. The items in the chest aren't even on the market.

Dead Ringer is really fun to use now. It's got this sort of hit and run gameplay that I really like.

by the way, Rocket Jumping will be fixed tomorrow
