[QUOTE=Firetornado;49720098]I have a feeling the beta will go out to a handful of youtubers and streamers first to generate hype, but then again that wouldn't be much of a "literal game changer"[/QUOTE] If Valve were to do that they wouldn't make the group.
[QUOTE=Firetornado;49720098]I have a feeling the beta will go out to a handful of youtubers and streamers first to generate hype, but then again that wouldn't be much of a "literal game changer"[/QUOTE] At this point I gave up on Gift Wrap being fixed. I've just been planning on keeping my gunslinger that I had wanted to sell

[QUOTE=Jhejh poT;49719292]Speaking of upcoming update : [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=111610590&searchtext=update[/url] Doc's Holiday gonna be paintable[/QUOTE] Awesome, that was [url=http://backpack.tf/item/3011208637]my first ever[/url] Medic cosmetic and one of first cosmetic drops I ever got, maybe 5 or 6 years back now. I think it might have been the first cosmetic to have 2 styles? Nice to see it get some luv.
[QUOTE=ElderLolz;49720424]Just a friendly reminder that workshop item updates are not always guaranteed to get added. Remember the CBC?[/QUOTE] You are aware it was added right?
I just really wanna see the Macho Mann updated with these. [url]https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=153864965[/url]

[/QUOTE] ...No. The Ghastlier Gibus, Treasure Hat, Hat of Undeniable Wealth And Respect, Googly Gazer, Pyromancer's Mask, and Scotsman's Stove Pipe were the first items to have styles, in April 2011, almost two years before the Doc's Holiday came out.
Seems that another way to activate the "last point on payload capped" glitch has been found Happened to me in a match on Borneo
I assume then I should pick up an Exorcizor quickly?
[QUOTE=Zeos;49721884]I assume then I should pick up an Exorcizor quickly?[/QUOTE] Yep, why not take one for yourself? And who would stop you doing so? :D Btw it's not gonna raise in price that much imo.
I bought all 3 just in case
Also it would be nice to have more Soldier body cosmetics, he feels like a no-brainer for a bunch of different uniforms, but apparently I am wrong
Maybe today update?
I mean, what is the solution to the gift wrap scenario *everyone* would be happy with? I can only think it would require steam authentication per session (first time you try to send a gift per program open?) I mean, what else could they do?
Was gift wrapping intended to break "untradable" rules to start with? It seems kind of an arbitrary way of money grabbing if it is. Untradable should actually mean untradable, not "tradable if you pay us". Have gift wraps actually be for gifts.
I predict a major update with new balance changes to come out today. Still Q1, but they had to have come up with some decent balance changes by now... Maybe a new crate with just a ton of the updated cosmetics, that have a chance of being in strange quality (without tiers)? I also expect much more to be revealed about competitive matchmaking. Maybe a few maps used in competitive that we know and love (sunshine, ashville, swiftwater)? [I]maybe a couple of new weapons[/I] (probably not)
I know it's not gonna happen, but another MvM map would be nice.
[QUOTE=ElderLolz;49722529]Seeing how they've made tiers a staple by now I doubt we'll see one without.[/QUOTE] this makes my fucking blood boil No, a garish banana hat shouldn't be more rare than a hat that actually looks good

[I]maybe a couple of new weapons[/I] (probably not)[/QUOTE] calm down, it's still a closed beta for now. they're not going to have a huge amount of fanfare with new hats, maps, and a fancy update page for something only a few thousand people are going to experience. if it is coming out today, i'm not expecting much more than a blog post. that said, making all the popular comp maps official like that would be a fantastic way to get everyone excited again once the beta ends and matchmaking is opened to the public. i'm sure the hype will die down a lot after the closed beta has been running for months, so a big flashy update like that would be a great way to get everyone into it again.
The man said "game changer". I'm going all in.
[QUOTE=Blackavar;49722543]this makes my fucking blood boil No, a garish banana hat shouldn't be more rare than a hat that actually looks good[/QUOTE] It's because they want players to have more of the good looking, less goofy hats. They made the banana hat rare because it clashes with the tf2 art style (what's left of it) a lot more than the lower tier hats, so they want less people to have it. If the banana hat was more common every stupid asshole (myself included) would be wearing it, and the art style would suffer more.
I predict competitive beta coming out within the next 4 days (today or tomorrow or Monday, possibly Saturday too,) with the finished version of asteroid and cactus canyon, and a bunch of new bug/cosmetic fixes and etc. No new weapons though. Also, we gotta be getting the next comic soon, right?

Instead, they just made it super expensive so only douchebags at higher levels of the game can paint it pink and lime with their max heads [editline]11th February 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=facepunched8;49722663]next 4 days[/QUOTE] Well, 2 of those days would be a weekend, so
Rate me dumb if you want, but, will the pass will be free or you will need to pay for it? or just have certain amounts of hours to use it.

[QUOTE=rualdcop;49722744]Rate me dumb if you want, but, will the pass will be free or you will need to pay for it? or just have certain amounts of hours to use it.[/QUOTE] The idea was that you'd probably have to pay for it so that hackers and the like couldn't spam matchmaking with free accounts, but they weren't completely settled on it yet, so we don't know for sure.
And of course, people are willing to spend a ton more keys just to get the top-tier hats. More money for Valve.
[QUOTE=Blackavar;49722880]And of course, people are willing to spend a ton more keys just to get the top-tier hats.
