Major Update Speculation V31: Gamechanging Edition - Games

[QUOTE=Jetamo;49919084]Because people would see lots of updates including nothing but cosmetics, and the occasional one adding new meaningful content, and assume that all they do is hats. See: The last eight years.[/QUOTE] And what has changed exactly? Major updates are still few in number, and suddenly scaling back on the amount of cosmetics added isn't bearing more fruit.

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;49919797]And what has changed exactly? Major updates are still few in number, and suddenly scaling back on the amount of cosmetics added isn't bearing more fruit.[/QUOTE] An enormous number of maps, 20 in one year, loads of cosmetic items (in the form of skins), with some balance updates sprinkled throughout and matchmaking being actively worked on (and very fun). Maybe it's not the same amount of content as, say, when the game was only a few years old but for a 9-year-old game I'd say the amount of content they're putting out is quite acceptable.

[QUOTE=kos8bit;49919523] I am gibus in all that law stuff, but probably creator can make some kind of public document which allows Valve to use his work, so they can proceed?[/QUOTE] It's also a problem of him improving valve and other community modelers' work instead of the modelers doing it themselves.

I'd REALLY love a replay system for comp, maybe bring back and use the feature they hyped up for ages and then completely abandoned (well, one of the 434032 in the game that fit that description) Halo and CoD have a battle theatre type thing where you can record entire games and save select clips to keep on your profile/vault/whatever, it'll never happen but I'd love something like that

[QUOTE=NeoDement;49919340]looking at me to do what? I already made the fix, it's up to Valve if they want to implement it or not.[/QUOTE] Even then wouldn't it not matter as the KF items were promos? And to be fair, I don't think anyone has emailed Eric/The team about community fixes for non community items.

[QUOTE=Freeze;49919198]that's what pubs are for it's all fun and games until five people do it and ruin a solo player's rank, otherwise i'd agree[/QUOTE] You have that chance even with "normal" classes. Trying to rank up without a group of friends sounds like a really bad idea.

If that sounds like a bad idea, then something is not working as intended. I think most of the people play alone.

Of course they do, but like with any matchmaking game, if you're not matchmaking with your own team it's going to be a rocky ride no matter what. I don't think class limits will change that, and would just exclude some more out-there strategies.

[QUOTE=Tinker;49920083]You have that chance even with "normal" classes. Trying to rank up without a group of friends sounds like a really bad idea.[/QUOTE]it's not about removing the chance though, it's about minimising it

That and I head it's very costly on processing or something like that.

They should just do the bodygroup instead since technology has come a good way from that. [editline]13th March 2016[/editline] they've fucked around with bodygroups so much to this day

[QUOTE=G=4//\/\3!2;49919028]ALL CLASS! Yes, No, Maybe?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=ErichGrooms1;49919094]Tricksters Turnout Gear should also be available for Scout (If it's possible.), Demoman, Heavy, and Sniper.[/QUOTE] The turnout gear will never be made multi-class. I have no idea why you would want a firefighter jacket on a sniper. [QUOTE=ElderLolz;49919724]After they made the Breakneck Baggies, an item that would only fit three of all nine classes, all class I lost all hope.[/QUOTE] What 3 classes are those? Soldier, heavy and scout? Because they absolutely should not be on the demoman, whose primary team colour area is his legs.

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;49919797]And what has changed exactly? Major updates are still few in number, and suddenly scaling back on the amount of cosmetics added isn't bearing more fruit.[/QUOTE] Less of a focus is being put on Cosmetics, and more of a focus being put on everything else. The peak of the hat-focused updates was the Robo-community Hat update, which literally added nothing except ~50 robo versions of already existing hats. Now that the focus has shifted away from the cosmetics, we've gotten things like PASStime, Matchmaking, fixes for shitloads of existing cosmetics, and a lot of ACTUAL communication with community contributors. [QUOTE=Samwiseganja420;49919648]Let me buy as many in unusual form as I can so I can then charge people higher :) [url=http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/27907652]Example[/url][/QUOTE] What the fuck. This shit should be grounds for getting banned from the forum, for lack of moral fibre at the very least.

[QUOTE=Samwiseganja420;49921223]When people know what hats will be turned multi-class or all-class they get as many as they can while they are still cheap so they can re-sell at a greater price. A scummy as fuck method basically.[/QUOTE] Like, I could understand a dude that really likes a hat buying some to have when they're updated (I bought 2 Hot Doggers in anticipation of them becoming all-class cause I like the hat), but this shit is fucking pathetic. Buying a shitload of unusuals just to make profit off community contribution? Really?

[QUOTE='[Square];49913920']We actually had vague plans to put it on Demo, depending on whether Spark fancies it or not. [IMG]http://puu.sh/mTJZg/6c1b6b9f9b.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] this is quite good. id reccommend updating it a bit to be wearable for demo to it could get added in a patch.

[QUOTE=Punchy;49921284]Why did you buy two instead of one?[/QUOTE] To paint them different colours, I also have two Cockfighters painted different colours.

[QUOTE=Inspecter;49920915]They tried doing that, they ended up breaking the game so no more new bodygroups. That and I head it's very costly on processing or something like that.[/QUOTE] pretty sure they just fucked up the flexes, i guess they didn't remove the flexes from the glasses or redo them properly, which fucks with the vertex ID which causes models to explode and other weird stuff to happen. How you can work at valve and not understand any of this, i have no idea

This may have been mentioned before and I missed it but seems Bobsplosion got a beta pass
