Major Update Speculation V31: Gamechanging Edition - Games

Just sold my prof ks unique Iron Bomber, I'm ready for the strange to come out and the price to plummet now.

I miss having new stranges [I]so much[/I]. Reskins that cost more than 20 normal stranges combined don't count.

[B]Strange normal Sandvich when[/B]

-snip-

everything should automatically turn vintage to get the point across

Yeah, I wonder if a new tier of mercenary badge is due, or something to that effect.

[QUOTE=Darth_Toast;50293588]Yeah, I wonder if a new tier of mercenary badge is due, or something to that effect.[/QUOTE] It always bothered me that me (2009 buyer) and f2p's have the same badge, like, the hell!?

What if valve added a new halloween event with gift drops like the usually do, but on the side released a new wave 666-esque mvm event that required tickets to play and is [B]much[/B] harder than 666, where you could win multiple haunted and unique halloween items instead of getting one at a time with the gift boxes [I]maybe call it wave 667 and it takes place in a halloween themed rottenburg[/I]

[QUOTE=kos8bit;50294594]Hey, we have the proof of purchase at least. Let's smile and pretend that we are happy with it. :) Dammit![/QUOTE] you can still get it by buying the orange box

[QUOTE=kos8bit;50294594]Hey, we have the proof of purchase at least. Let's smile and pretend that we are happy with it. :) Dammit![/QUOTE] I bought a physical copy of the game (just TF2, not the OB) the very week it went F2P (apparently installed it the day the Uber Update went live), so I was kinda stuck in-between P2P and F2P to the game. Never got my Proof of Purchase. :v:

The way I'd have done badges instead would've been instead to say what update # you first came in on, checking your 'join' time and measuring it against the timeline of when updates went live. I'm not sure how exactly the increment would've been handled (an odd case where higher level = newer player, maybe), or otherwise decide what the cutoff date is for certain appearances beyond that, but I think that would've made a more interesting and tangible way of saying, 'I came here during update ###, aka the Butt Update' or something.

Can someone throw me that picture which showed the days between the major updates? I wanna see how many days have passed since Tough Break, to kinda make an expected release-date "area" .

In the same vein, monthly reminder that in 2 and a half weeks, we'll have hit 8 months since last comic

[QUOTE=Zeos;50300705]In the same vein, monthly reminder that in 2 and a half weeks, we'll have hit 8 months since last comic[/QUOTE] :toot::toot::toot: And to think they said we would not wait as long going forward.

Call me a niggerfaggot for liking hats if you must, but this is a really nice surprise. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Racism" - UncleJimmema))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=Ellistron;50301150]- Fixed weapons not playing idle animations when cl_autoreload was set to 1[/QUOTE] Neat, they fixed one of the problems I reported. Shame that they didn't fix the animation delay, though.

Fixed the SMG firing tracers for every bullet while Focus is activated RIP LIGHTSHOW

I hope the new case has the Rebel's Riders

New Keys and Crates, How long until they make a blog post about this new update?

Fixed the SMG firing tracers for every bullet while Focus is activated This is truly unforgivable.
