[QUOTE=Johnny Joe;49773598]Not everyone owns a smartphone/can run the desktop emulator[/QUOTE]
But I saw a comment saying something like "I avoided installing it". Doesn't it mean they CHOSE not to install it? Then why's that?
[QUOTE=br0ken_;49773611]If someone can't run a desktop emulator then how are they running TF2..?[/QUOTE]
TF2 has a mac version, the desktop version of the steam authenticator does not.
[QUOTE=Johnny Joe;49773529]On a different note, I wonder when the next comic is coming out. Does anyone remember the plot from the last one?[/QUOTE]
I remember is the idea that it was only supposed to take a year to get all the issues out and here we are coming up on three.
I have no sympathy for the authors, there's the difference between being a month late for a bi-monthly series, and then there is being late for every single issue by like, six months, let alone the fact that every time, [I]every time[/I] there is the claim that "We've worked out some problems".
Problems?
PROBLEMS? It's a fucking comic book, you're professional artists for fuck's sake, get it together
I expect there to be a blog post where Valve officially turns the comic over to the community, a la Scream Fortress 2015.
[QUOTE=sponge7325;49772600]I really hope that Valve doesn't do another "Gun Mettle" type update, at least for a while. The, in comparison to Gun Mettle, poorer sales of the Tough Break pass kind of add to the idea that people really don't care that much about skins now that the hype of them just having come out is gone. I mean, some of the new skins are nice and all, but I'd like to see actually new content getting added, and it being the center of attention, and not money-grabbing by putting wacky patterns on stock weapons. [/QUOTE]
One thing that I feel would help with campaigns is adding a "Decorated Weapon Series Strangifier" as a rare drop for completing contracts. For example, a "Gentlemann's Series Strangifier" so you could actually use on some of those nice Top Shelf and High Roller skins. Or just outright let you have a small chance of getting one of these in strange to begin with for doing a contract.
Maybe even go so far as to replace strange weapons from cases with unboxing a strangifier at the same rate, and let the unboxer decide which weapon he's unboxed to make strange. So rather than unboxing a strange SMG and a non-strange Elite sniper rifle, you'd have a strangifier and a non-strange Elite sniper rifle instead.
A couple of new uncommon/rare tools to change skin quality would be awesome, too. Like a "Decorated Weapon Buffing Kit" that improves the quality by one level, or a "Decorated Weapon Sandpaper Kit" that degrades it by one level. Then instead of being stuck with a wear you don't like, you could change it.
Basically anything that lets someone take their favourite weapon and turn it into their dream weapon would be a huge plus. Improved customization.
Making new contract drops regular and predictable like in Gun Mettle would also help. I went from chasing my contracts on a regular weekly basis during Gun Mettle to not really caring much about them because I couldn't tell when I'd get a new one. I think I'm about 5-6 contracts behind now.
Someone else suggested a hat or cosmetic that changes as you upgrade your pass. To be honest, I have no clue why this hasn't already been part of the campaigns since it seems like a no brainer.
There's probably a dozen other things that could be done to add some serious value to the campaign passes.

Maybe introduse something like "paintable weapon skins" and "(weapon) paint can", so you could add even more personality to the skins.
And, maybe, turn "paintable skins" into unboxing loot and "(weapon) paint cans" as a contract reward.
I'm not even hoping on getting [U]old glory crates[/U] instead of [U]cases and ranks[/U] anymore, since it's pointless nova days... -sadsnip-
What up guys, got a sneak preview of the update, check it out

We probably won't get any mention about the comic until the community causes an uproar about it.

It's more that they get sidetracked with the magnum comics for other games/updates, because Valve won't hire more than two people to make the promo comics for the entire company, which is absurd

Fuck no, tumblr would ruin it.

Idk, it wouldn't be so bad to have all the characters suddenly be gay and naked all the time.

Didn't people complain about the community-created comic for Robotic Boogaloo and that the faces looked derpy?
At this rate I'd just get back into my job as MUS fanfiction writer if it wasn't for the competetive beta.

same here.
[QUOTE=riki2cool;49773571]Sort of, [sp]TF2 Soldier, Pyro, Spy, Demoman, Sniper and Ms. Pauling gets caught by TFC crew, who are being paid by Grey Mann. TFC Heavy turns on Grey Mann and kills him. TF2 Sniper, who got shot by the TFC crew, gets revived by the TF2 medic, who had been working with the TFC team previously. The TF2 team tries to escape, killing off TFC Pyro, Demoman and Spy during their attempted escape. They get caught by Grey Manns blood sucking robots (or something) who are now controlled by TFC heavy. The whereabouts of TF2 Heavy, Scout (last seen with Saxton Hale and his lady) and Engineer (hasn't been seen thus far) was not touched upon.[/sp]
I think that's about it, right?[/QUOTE]
Engy was with the administrator installing her new life extender.
it is worth noting that Engineer was in a BLU team outfit. (I'm not sure why though, I thought Pinkerton said the two teams weren't relevant to the story)

So the TF2 Media thread when Rong frequented it

Face it, without the faces no one would have remembered that comic.

In the Loose Cannon comic, it's revealed that BLU engineer's grandfather builds both the life extender machines for Blutarch and Redmond, and also designed the sentry guns that he uses. I'm thinking that the BLU engineer must be the "real" engineer.

If it's tumblr we're talking about, it'd go beyond that.
It'd be shit like, Pauling turning out to be a Demi-trans-turbo-mega-superqueer.
[QUOTE=Snowshoe;49774455]Face it, without the faces no one would have remembered that comic.[/QUOTE]
I didn't remember it anyway. :v:
