Major Update Speculation V31: Gamechanging Edition - Games

So it would seem the Batman items are finally marketable (and seem to be flooding the market) [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/TpJWZY3.png?1[/IMG] Happy to see this finally happen so we can finally own these items and not pay ridiculous prices...still no craftable versions though

So far the only bad round of competitive I've played (not counting disconnects) was one where I encountered a spy doing a weird flying exploit/hack. He just hovered over people and then backstabed them. Probably some kind of bind trickery. I also encountered a hacking sniper but we steamrolled his team :v:.

[QUOTE=Johnny Joe;49963746]Ok prank's over where's the fucking comic.[/QUOTE] [t]http://i.imgur.com/Yt8DZst.png[/t] According to the [b]last[/b] post regarding the comic.

Maybe the comic died like those NECA figures.

All I want from the comic is to just have the TFC and TF2 Heavies fight each other, if that doesn't happen then the entire 6-part saga will have been completely [I]ruined.[/I]

Anyone else having problems with the default HUD after the lastest update? I've lost the round timer and I can't fix. So far the only lead I've found is some updating Valve did to the HUD that messed a bit with re spawn timers but I'm not using a custom HUD.

Other people in the server were reporting the same issue.

Cornish got one [QUOTE=Cornish;49963338] [t]http://i.imgur.com/MERwzNJ.jpg[/t] i made it boys, passes are being gifted on outpost. probably very easy to get scammed, they have to gift you the pass in-game when you're on their friends list [/QUOTE]

think that ranking should be based on how many medals you get compared to how many are given out just got 2v1, me on the 2 team and we won pretty quickly then got a 6v6 and it took a while but we lost, was pretty close gained and lost the same amount of rank, doesn't make too much sense

I hate how they killed off grey Mann almost on a whim and replaced him with some villains with 0 backstory

[QUOTE=HiddenShadow;49965111]I hate how they killed off grey Mann almost on a whim and replaced him with some villains with 0 backstory[/QUOTE] Exactly why I wonder why people care about the comics.

My game has been saying Stress test since mid yesterday I believe anyone got any clue what's up with it. And it seems when I search I might actually be able to play (and I didn't get notice of any actual matchmaking beta pass) So is the stress test still going?! [editline]19th March 2016[/editline] *EDIT* can get into games so this is just a really long test right?

Speaking of stress tests, why is it that if you win your rank goes up a little bit, but if you lose it goes[I] waaaaaay[/I] down? It's really annoying to see people already in rank 3, it's obvious they've just been cheating it with a party and never losing at this point. I get, early beta, but it still annoys me how screwed up everything still is.

Really? I played for the first two hours of the test yesterday and took a break and then thought the whole rest of the night that the test had ended. I'm jumping in now if it's still going on.

I find it funny that the same community that was complaining owners of selfmades got in free are now selling off their beta passes for a profit. :speechless:

We know its coming out, and you can even play right now, so why pay such a high price

[QUOTE=pepetoads;49965867]you get a vintage one?[/QUOTE] no vintage was just for the initial beta passes afaik

[QUOTE=pepetoads;49965867]you get a vintage one?[/QUOTE] Nope, I'm just confused on why people are paying 9 keys + for a beta that at some point, will be available permanently

It's even more confusing when you consider the amount of people that actually have passes right now. I'm pretty sure you won't be able to find a game by just queueing for servers alone when only about 50 people have a pass.

You're assuming people are thinking when they do that, it's probably the same kind of thing that leads people to buying items that have just come out at an exorbitant rate despite everyone knowing the items always diminish in value by a huge amount a few hours after they release...they just kinda want it, I guess.

[QUOTE=sponge7325;49961922]You know, I can see the appeal in joining in Matchmaking with a friend or two, but this whole 'randoms vs actual 6s team with coordination' thing really needs to stop, I think that the ability to create a party for matchmaking should be removed, or at least have special servers dedicated to 'party vs party'.[/QUOTE] Splatoon had a great idea where people of a certain party number would be matched with parties of the same number. (ie. Matches are usually 6v6, so 3 player parties would be two parties vs. another, and parties of two would be put in teams with two other groups of two, and so on.)

It's impossible but I almost wish you weren't allowed to sell passes or something because it's SUPER fucking scummy to sell something that most people are gonna get in like a week for like 25$
