Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

[QUOTE=Stric_Matic;48115860]From the FAQ: Q: THE GUN METTLE UPDATE STARTED A FEW WEEKS AGO AND I JUST HEARD ABOUT IT. WHAT HAPPENS IF I BUY A CAMPAIGN PASS NOW? A: Purchasing access further into the campaign will still earn you the same number of contracts as someone who purchased access on day one. Access will no longer be available for purchase through the last month of the campaign. Sounds to me that your contracts never expire with a new week, they just accumulate if you don't play for a time or don't get them done immediately. You'll stil be able to finish all the contracts available even if you started playing a month from now.[/QUOTE] If I purchase a contract say 2 weeks from now how will I get th extra 4 missions? Do I just start with them?

[QUOTE=_Pai;48115993]If I purchase a contract say 2 weeks from now how will I get th extra 4 missions? Do I just start with them?[/QUOTE] I've never bought an operation Pass for CSGO to be 100% sure, but I would assume that yes, the system must keep track of how many weeks have passed since the start of the event and then assigns an appropriate number of contracts to latecomers. Start on Week 3, you should be able to get 6 contracts right off the bat. I know that in CS players accumulate a backlog of missions even if they are inactive for several weeks during an Operation. It's the only way Valve can make sure that people who buy the Pass in, let's say, mid-August, can still do the same number of contracts and receive the same number of rewards as players that have bought the Pass on Week 1 and have been doing contracts each week.

[QUOTE=Shaohs;48115713]What happens if you buy a second ticket?[/QUOTE] It doesn't let you activate a second ticket if you already have a coin. [QUOTE=Oizen;48115752]I honestly would buy another ticket if it meant I could do 4 a week.[/QUOTE] I tried! :( I'll wait until it's tradable and then send it to an alt, that's almost as good. (almost :( )

Surely if everyone gets the same amount of contracts that means they reset on a set date rather than it being different for each person? If so - will that day be every Thursday?

looks like killstreak kits can now be applied to the new skins, judging by two killstreak weapons on the market.

I was under the impression the weapon cases would only drop if you've leveled up your contract coin enough times. At least, that would explain them not dropping yet.

Tried the game again today, still getting crashes. : I

[QUOTE=Patriot Duck;48116165]I was under the impression the weapon cases would only drop if you've leveled up your contract coin enough times. At least, that would explain them not dropping yet.[/QUOTE] From page 1 and the FAQ [QUOTE]Whenever you complete a contract, you'll earn a campaign-exclusive weapon or unlockable weapon case. ... ...at which point you can turn the Contract in to receive either a Contract-exclusive weapon, or an unlockable weapons case ... Completing contracts will earn you either a weapon from a collection with rarity grades 1-4, or an unlockable weapons case that has weapons with rarity grades 3-6 ... Weapon cases are only accessible through participation in the campaign, are exclusive to the campaign and can only be received as direct rewards for completing contracts[/QUOTE] Suggests nothing about leveling up the coin. But it does say they're rarity 3-6 so presumably they're rarer than getting a weapon, but that still doesn't account for the fact none have dropped yet.

Anyone else getting this constantly spammed in the console? [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/440574088305022040/5193AB0C7D2C74FC378D22A880F9BCE0507252AE/[/t]

According to Miss Pauling lines, there is "Big" contracts, so maybe you'll get weapon cases from them.

Finally managed to finish a contract and got a civic duty team colored shotgun. Then my game crashed again. Valve fix this shit, please. Are any other mac users having the same issues?

[QUOTE=Fluff;48116404]According to Miss Pauling lines, there is "Big" contracts, so maybe you'll get weapon cases from them.[/QUOTE] But you would still have to pay to open them. Also, what would happen if I deleted my metal and bought a new ticket?

[QUOTE=Shaohs;48116539]But you would still have to pay to open them.[/QUOTE] yeah, i hate that you effectively would have to pay 6 dollars so you can pay them another 2.50 after jumping through some hoops

[QUOTE=Shaohs;48116539]But you would still have to pay to open them.[/QUOTE] Yup, but it would be cool if we get 1 skin and a case.

So... are we not getting a fix update till Monday?

[QUOTE=Shaohs;48116539]But you would still have to pay to open them. Also, what would happen if I deleted my metal and bought a new ticket?[/QUOTE] you can't delete your coin until the event is over.

[QUOTE=Ace of Butts;48116526]Finally managed to finish a contract and got a civic duty team colored shotgun. Then my game crashed again. Valve fix this shit, please. Are any other mac users having the same issues?[/QUOTE] Yes, upon completing a contract my game kaputs to desktop.

-snip- wrong thread woops

Really liking this update, I don't game much anymore so it's nice to play for an hour or so a week. Although I feel like i'm letting my team down when i'm forcing myself to play Sniper (badly) just for the contract.

If the vaccinator build rate nerf is removed this would be better than the original housekeeping update.

Is Powerhouse lagging for anyone?

[QUOTE=Dr_Steen;48117057][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/V3Nz82q.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] We just need confirmation if the community maps are going to stay in the game, I have a bad feeling about it seeing that their assets aren't in the game.

Another update coming: We're working on a mandatory update for TF2. We should have it ready soon. -Eric
