Major Update Speculation V31: Gamechanging Edition - Games

Man, after playing solo queue for the first time, I realise that playing the game alone is a death sentence. Even bigger than in games like CS:GO.

I don't think tf2 wants me to play. why else would it leave my desktop in such a hurry? :( [editline]10 Mar 2016[/editline] Restarting won't fix. Can't play the stress test

[QUOTE=_AE;49909190]When I emailed Eric about updating the turnout gear, I also mentioned that the manacles had updated materials from the ones in-game (their materials were updated shortly before halloween, but didn't make it into that update).[/QUOTE] Can you make the [B]Tricksters Turnout Gear [/B] all class [t]http://i.imgur.com/vq4Duvs.jpg[/t] (Picture is pyro version on sniper, It's just an idea)

mvm is currently dead because making a lobby for it crashes everyone. FYI

Items that are unique to a character should not be ham-fisted into being all-class items just because other items are also becoming all class. The Trickster's turnout has absolutely no reason being all-class. If ANY other class got the trickster's turnout it should be the medic, and only because his mediguns partially resemble fire hoses. But that still doesn't mean it should get a multi-class update.

[QUOTE=Dookas;49909027]Hey is it a design choice to have one arm not go all the way it's always irked me and I wondered why it's like that[/QUOTE] I'm guessing that it's because there is skin visible in the first-person view model and they wanted it visible for consistency. At the same time though, it's not like you can see the gloves in first-person, either, so that's made kind of moot. :v:

In other words can we stop with these 5v6 matches pls valve? I mean it's getting really not fun to have rounds where my team is down a player

but turnout gear being sniper compatible makes perfect sense with the hazmat headcase also being sniper compatible the close range weapons master was really the long range weapons master all along

Rankups should be based on how you do as a player and winning grants a bonus. Because say you have a team that can't do tooo well so you end up losing a ton. Oh guess you aren't ranking up boize! EDIT. Comp feels like it's becoming a scout stacking competition. I mean I've always hated scout but it seems extra now that Comp Beta has started

So is TF2 crashing for anyone using a custom HUD?

[QUOTE=EmilyVasquez;49909836]So is TF2 crashing for anyone using a custom HUD?[/QUOTE] Not for me Rayshud seems to work fine

[QUOTE=Dookas;49909867]Not for me Rayshud seems to work fine[/QUOTE] ToonHUD's crashing for me when i make it to the main menu.

I don't even have a custom hud and i'm still crashing.

Like, if you want points for high damage you shoot the overhealed heavy, rather than the fully charged medic, because the former will net you more points, even if the later will help the team more

Yeah, the system could do with some adjusting, though at the moment there don't seem to be enough players for the ranks to matter that much, so hopefully that's something that gets worked on for beta.

[QUOTE=Hell-met;49909621]mvm is currently dead because making a lobby for it crashes everyone. FYI[/QUOTE] Given they've had mvm/matchmaking issues in the past (with MVM players joining matchmaking games) you would think they would do a quick test of MVM everytime they update Matchmaking.

[QUOTE=EmilyVasquez;49909875]ToonHUD's crashing for me when i make it to the main menu.[/QUOTE] ToonHud works for me but the MM screen was messed up,so I uninstalled it and tried EvE hud but the same thing happened so I ended up using the default hud.

Just got a patch that fixed crashing on the MvM menu.

Jokes on all of you, i already use the default hud.

[QUOTE=cha0s;49911095]Jokes on all of you, i already use the default hud.[/QUOTE] Maybe it's just me, but I've personally never had a reason to change from default as it seems easy enough to comprehend.

[QUOTE=Razi The Red;49911147]Maybe it's just me, but I've personally never had a reason to change from default as it seems easy enough to comprehend.[/QUOTE] I used to think this until I started using toon hud, going back to the regular hud just makes my screen feel cluttered now.

[QUOTE=Razi The Red;49911147]Maybe it's just me, but I've personally never had a reason to change from default as it seems easy enough to comprehend.[/QUOTE] The only thing I ever changed with the hud is the damage numbers. They're so tiny by default and red just blends in with the environment too much.

Big, bold numbers and bars without intense description and without clutter make a good hud

[QUOTE=Pagliacci;49909638]How bout them spooky shoes?[/QUOTE] I figured nobody would really miss them, seeing as nobody wears them on Scout. Maybe I'll try and port them to a few classes later? Can't see it working on Sniper or Heavy very well.

I wonder why Valve haven't opted to make the default damage numbers much larger, bolder and of a color that better stands out against various colored surfaces. They've gradually implemented many aspects of custom HUDs and recently they've been really pushing the hitsounds more, why would they overlook the tiny, red damage numbers that so many people find completely inadequate in the default hud? It's by far the most obvious issue with the default one for me.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;49911531]I figured nobody would really miss them, seeing as nobody wears them on Scout. Maybe I'll try and port them to a few classes later? Can't see it working on Sniper or Heavy very well.[/QUOTE] Nah, you did a good job for the sleeves to be on other classes, I don't see how they could be used on the other ones.
