Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;48195254]I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere, but apparently Valve severed its business relationship with NECA, causing the indefinite cessation of the TF2 figure line. Why Valve?[/QUOTE] any sources? neca still had scout, med and sniper in development.

Talking about not-awful figurines, what about those blind box ones? I remember seeing a Medic and maybe a Sniper prototype, but that was a few months ago. I'd like something of the Medic that isn't a £150 statue.

[QUOTE=Darth_Toast;48194201]To be honest I wouldn't actually mind if it outright replaced the current drops, when you'd normally get a drop you'd get an easy contract. It would make it obviously harder, but more fun.[/QUOTE] Rewarding players for playing the game is something tf2 desperately needs, right now lbs are crap because of arks and useless players, something to motivate those players to actually try would be a good thing

Why Valve?[/QUOTE] I guess I'll have to wait even longer for a Medic figure. At about 20 bucks the figures weren't that bad (although my Soldier's leg had a tendency to get gibbed a lot), and I would've liked to see them at least finish the class line. Team Fortress Figma's when?

Revoltech tf2 action figures. A Man can dream

Maybe they want Gaming Heads to do the figures again, since the did a better job with the faces and they were cosmetic friendly.

[QUOTE=Zadrave;48195899]I didn't know Spy was in Mulan[/QUOTE] "When will my reflection show who I am inside?" [I]takes off disguise[/I] oh

i hope they do another 3a robot class figure again at some point but i'm not really holding out too much hope :x would be great if it was actually possible to complete my collection

I want tf2 minimates [t] http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/comicsalliance.com/files/2013/04/tru16group1.jpg [/t] Highly articulated/stylized/customizable, perfect!

[QUOTE=NeoDement;48197530]i hope they do another 3a robot class figure again at some point but i'm not really holding out too much hope :x would be great if it was actually possible to complete my collection[/QUOTE] Same here; collecting one of each genuine item is tricky when some of the figure promos haven't been distributed to the public.

Woah, they finally changed Gun mettle to be on the featured most recent big update thing.

Anyone remember years ago how Robin said he wanted to make vintage weapon stand out from their standard counterparts? How they wanted to add wear somehow to them to show that they were old? I read that from somewhere and can no longer find it. Seems that now that's a very real possibility with how the new weapon skins function. After all in the same interview he also said he wanted to do something for collectors, and that ended up being the collector kits.

kind of. but now they created an even bigger pool of quality colors and it's all turning meaningless and confusing and nothing happened to the actual vintages so what he said is actually the opposite

If there was a way to strangify collector's items(or maybe there is, but I haven't found anything about it), that'd be really sweet. It's so hard to find anyone using a Collector's nowadays.

Ugly as hell stylization that doesn't work with any actual artstyle.

[QUOTE=Hell-met;48198693]kind of. but now they created an even bigger pool of quality colors and it's all turning meaningless and confusing and nothing happened to the actual vintages so what he said is actually the opposite[/QUOTE]That's why I hate that they're reusing purple, blue, red, etc. but at a lighter/darker tone. At least change the color quality within the name text or something, I dunno.

[QUOTE=Hell-met;48198693] but now they created an even bigger pool of quality colors and it's all turning meaningless and confusing[/QUOTE] True, but wouldn't giving them the wear they talked about give them meaning? A reason to seek out vintage weapons and use them? [QUOTE=Hell-met;48198693] and nothing happened to the actual vintages[/QUOTE] Nothing ever happened with the collector stuff they talked about years ago until like 2 years ago. Same thing with painted weapons, which became weapon skins 2 years later. Just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean it can't.

Just got an 82.5MB update. Did anyone else?

Probably more contracts...but im not 100% sure what day that stuffs supposed to reset.

Payload is still dead

Wow, they updated the history section for once. It hasn't been displaying major updates since Halloween.

Or, they could also look battle-worn?
