Major Update Speculation V31: Gamechanging Edition - Games

[QUOTE=Jhejh poT;50063138][b],[/b] [b]Edited :[/b] I really hope that we're gonna get all halloween restricted hats/maps/stuff updated at this year's halloween update.[/QUOTE] what like you want an update to literally every halloween hat?! That's crazy man

[QUOTE=Dookas;50063201]what like you want an update to literally every halloween hat?! That's crazy man[/QUOTE] If people start working on it now, slowly, bit by bit, yeah, by halloween submission time every hat could be properly updated and tweaked. It would at least be a little side project for creators who already have something in.

[QUOTE=Dookas;50063201]what like you want an update to literally every halloween hat?! That's crazy man[/QUOTE] Quick, someone post that April Fools all-class Mr Mundee's Wild Ride. Edit: Never mind, got it myself: [t]http://puu.sh/o2kBI/bd8db35c6b.png[/t]

[QUOTE=Dookas;50063320]I mean but most of them don't need updates I mean if it ain't broke don't fix it[/QUOTE] Not the texture updates (i mean, i... Ok wait, i'll try again)...

Hey guys there's gonna be a new up... why am i always late?

Personally I don't care one iota about cosmetics, I only want maps, weapons and gameplay changes in an update. I guess it is tricky for Valve to balance the interests of all the various groups of players, with their different priorities.

Sorry but with item grades I just can't get excited about new cosmetics updates anymore. Look at the EOTL crate, Fall 2013 crates, Summer 2013 coolers, etc. All equal chances. If there was a cosmetic you wanted you had a fair shot at getting it just like any other. With Love & War crates, you could even put it codes to get exactly what you want. Now it's a shitty CS:GO system where items are put on a scale from SUPER FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE RARE to so common you could fill entire backpack pages with them. It's so unfair to players it's not even funny.

I don't hate grades as much as everyone else it seems because for the most part all the elite grade hats I don't really like (besides the antman pyro one but that's really cheap anyway) but I would like the return of the code crates like in Love and War

Does anyone concern about the all-class hype train or is it just me? At first I was like, OK, it's fun and all. It makes more money for the creators (we all know they don't live sorely on oxygen) and more options for the community. But if this keeps going on, there'll be one day we have "single-class hype". If we keep getting more and more items become all-class/multi-class, in the end it'll end up killing their own uniqueness. It's like you go to school and everyone wear the same uniform, same hair style, carrying the same books. (I'm glad no one has touched Medic (yet), most his cosmetics are reference to German and medical history I'd be real sad if they change that) Beside, the only thing these updates doing is stirring up is the trading community, and most of them spend their time in trading servers to make profits, not to actually play the game. Veterans are 1) leaving because they're bored to the bones and Overwatch coming out 2) play MvM/comp where game play has a big difference from the real game. Competitive mode (which should have been implemented from A LONG TIME ago) is still in beta, with a lot to improve and seriously, if you queue alone in there 99% you'll get rekt by real comp teams/players who has an extremely different skill level from pub. I don't know. I'm just really sad since TF2 is my favourite game (I hate FPS before I play TF2). But these days I'm just thinking about cashing out my bp and buy other games because I see no point in investing into it just to get more virtual hats. Sorry if I offend anyone in this rant.

I feel like the "assassin grade" shit is to blame.

[QUOTE=sky_216;50063006]To be fair thats not just invasion though, halloween and christmas got <20 each too despite their being scores of good submissions to choose from.[/QUOTE] Most of the cosmetics we got weren't even that good anyway, compared to previous updates. It's like they purposefully chose the most mediocre stuff they could find on the Workshop.

I would guess the main way to get the item you want is the market, and we get nothing from those trades. They aren't even putting the tiered items in the store like they used to...

[QUOTE=HiddenShadow;50062469]tomorrows is the 4 so TB ends.[/QUOTE] Nope. [t]http://i.imgur.com/WarNnrW.png[/t]

I feel like the CS:GO tier system should've only applied to the weapon skin crates. Having them be on every new crate is really stupid and honestly i wish it didn't exist on crates that weren't Weapon Skin related.

It doesn't have to be huge, maybe .5% or 1%, but it would allow community item creators to make something off market sales.

[QUOTE=ambaxtoxin;50065519]Nope. [t]http://i.imgur.com/WarNnrW.png[/t][/QUOTE] But it literally says the event ends 4th April in-game :v

[QUOTE=Fluury;50065596]But it literally says the event ends 4th April in-game :v[/QUOTE] Also the event has been done for several weeks if you completed your contracts when you got them. It has been the few weeks at the end of the event for the past few weeks.

After examining it, Gun Mettle really did not improve the game in any way, shape or form in terms of the economy and item contributors. First you have the item grades that make it unfair to players, and Valve's neglect of the Mann Co. Store making it unfair to the contributors (also the market thing, but that's been a problem for years). Map makers probably benefited the most, though only the people that get their maps official. People making WIP maps don't get to use new assets from the past year because Valve stopped purchasing them. Sure you can ask permission and pack them in your map manually, but it's not the same. Even if you finish your map, putting it on the workshop is pointless unless you just want to get it official. The workshop won't help your map actually get played, because Quickplay hasn't been changed. Now with rumors that Valve may remove some campaign maps and redirect them to workshop versions (or worse, remove them entirely), things look shaky even for the map makers. Will the workshop maps be run on Valve servers, and the TF Team is just trying to save space? Or is your map banished to the eternal hell of never being played again?

[QUOTE=Fluury;50065596]But it literally says the event ends 4th April in-game :v[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure it said event ends March 31 before it was changed

Fact that they capped visual settings in MM is quite displeasing. But atleast I can play it in crisp 5 fps! (Its rather anoying)

[QUOTE=sky_216;50063006]To be fair thats not just invasion though, halloween and christmas got <20 each too despite their being scores of good submissions to choose from.[/QUOTE] Also of note regarding Halloween is them adding a good amount of old items from a previous year, and even items [i]that werent even tagged as halloween items.[/i] Normally I couldnt say much about this, but they specifically made a blog post requesting [i]new[/i] items.

Also i'm 100% agree with you there - that's would be disgusting as hell. But i know that we have some good halloween restricted ingame content too, so let's name all the good halloween restricted content right now... [sp]Not gonna do that as for now since i'm postin from phone. There's gonna be a list of them that i'll add later instead of that spoiler. [/sp]

I now feel bad because I saw the patriot peak going all class and was like "Oh that looks super neat!" so I bought one before prices go up and now I believe I'm part of the problem
