TF2 General Chat and Speculation Station: Whiteboard Blues - Games

[QUOTE=DatHarry;52720093]even if it was a free gift i'm very confused as to why anyone would be interested.[/QUOTE] When's the last time you have seen a 2000 dollar gift? People don't have that sort of money, you know.

Well, today is one of my "good" days with TF2. They seem to alternate. [t]https://i.imgur.com/6k4CZpv.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=tekt;52720276]When's the last time you have seen a 2000 dollar gift?[/QUOTE] If dozens of people spend $100 on wedding rings every day i'm more than willing to believe that items of high value are gifted often. Therefore it's not really monumental enough to be worth headlining posts. [QUOTE=tekt;52720276]People don't have that sort of money, you know.[/QUOTE] If people didn't then the game wouldn't be alive right now. Whales carry this game's economy, and the economy carries a majority of the game's staying power.

On the random crits topic, some people want them, some people don't, I was thinking to just make them much less common and not more likely when doing damage.

[QUOTE=Scott713;52720337]On the random crits topic, some people want them, some people don't, I was thinking to just make them much less common and not more likely when doing damage.[/QUOTE] keeping them static at 2% and 15% would actually be the most likely approach seeing as how valve will never ever outright remove them.

[QUOTE=tekt;52720276]When's the last time you have seen a 2000 dollar gift? People don't have that sort of money, you know.[/QUOTE] i mean, a $2000 gift isn't exactly a normal thing but it's not exactly a life changing amount i'm not tryna be all like "lol 2 grand? pennies" but i just don't think it's exactly headline news

Implement simple votes at the beginning of every Casual match to enable or disable features such as random crits or All Talk. There you go, problem solved; after two weeks of data gathering that determines 60% or more of matches disable crits, then you can remove them entirely.

I just got my Mercenary badge back, I've always wanted this thing back! [t]https://i.imgur.com/EIqnwGS.png[/t] [t]https://i.imgur.com/SRVhEg0.png[/t] Man, there's nothing I've wanted more than this thing back. I also deleted several things like my Ghastly Gibus and the Director's Vision taunt. I decided not to request those, since it might seem a little disingenuous.

Man, if the system is automated, i wonder how hard it'd be to send in a request for, say a Golden Wrench, and say you accidentally deleted it? I'm answering my own question: They probably have some sort of database regarding TF2 items and their corresponding Steam Accounts.

I'm pretty salty about it since you got yours at almost the same time I didn't

[QUOTE=tekt;52720276]When's the last time you have seen a 2000 dollar gift? People don't have that sort of money, you know.[/QUOTE] i don't know about you, but i used to see people come into the best buy i worked at and easily dropped thousands on shit like tvs and computers. it's safe to assume a lot of those things were gifts too. i couldn't care less about some guy getting expensive pixels. hell, we never talk about the people who win the thousand dollar cash prizes in lotteries, why is this different. (also, apparently he's just borrowing it which makes it even less important. the point is still there though.)

I remember years ago I had that one minigun skin from the Poker game, the Iron Curtain, after getting the items I uninstalled the game and for some reason the item just disappeared from my inventory. I wonder if I could get it back now.

Can I join the party? [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/gB6LIkE.png[/IMG] [t]https://i.imgur.com/ZLcV9TQ.jpg[/t]

I wonder if I could get my haunted metal back too.

Nice Warship Voyager gif.

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;52720704]I remember years ago that minigun skin allowed players to instantly switch to any weapon; it was quite some time before Valve fixed it.[/QUOTE] That reminds me of when you could equip any weapon in any slot assuming that class can use it. I remember putting my minigun in my melee slot with the Buffalo Steak Sandvich also equipped. And another minigun in my primary slot in case I ran out of bullets. Another thing I did was put 3 different bats on my Scout. Fan 'O War + Atomizer + Boston Basher was hilarious.

I just came up with the "perfect" title for the update: The Hot N' Humid Update. It fits all the criteria: dating/relationship references, pyro reference and jungle reference.

Gee, it sure feels nice knowing the quality-of-life core gameplay improvements I've been pining for are likely delayed by elo and matchmaker testing! If I recall correctly, [B]Meet Your Match[/B] was likewise postponed for that very reason--I had to wait an extra three weeks for Natascha nerfs and two seconds of marked-for-death on Crit-a-Cola.

I do wonder what happened to my Cheaters Lamet because I remember having it, but after I left TF2 in late 2010 and came back to it in 2013 it was gone. Did I miss something?

[QUOTE=Nebrassy;52720817]I'll tell you what the title will be either the 10th anniversary update or smissmas 2020[/QUOTE] There you go, buddy. I'm glad I could help.

[QUOTE=mastercoms;52720760]I just came up with the "perfect" title for the update: The Hot N' Humid Update.
