Major Update Speculation XXX: cp_orange_x3 confirmed!

It would be a real shame if Valve were to capitulate to whiners yet again. If a weapon isn't overpowered and has clear shortcomings, then there is absolutely no justification for a nerf.
It also isn't nearly as obnoxious as some other things in the game, like the Sandman for example. The Phlog doesn't steal your ability to fight back.
[QUOTE=chandlerj333;49345647]Yeah thats what I meant, you can contest/defend points but not capture them, similar to how you could do both before and the consequential ban.[/QUOTE]
You could cap before though.

Don't remind me. RIP Quick Fix :suicide:
[QUOTE=Zeos;49345289]I don't know what happened, it was playing fine last night, but now my framerate is garbage[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=gonzalolog;49345327]I usually get 120fps, but no i'm not getting more than 80, i know it's not a problem...But there's 40fps difference...That's pretty bad imo[/QUOTE]
Like someone mentioned a few pages back, opting out of Steam beta might fix it, it did for me.

Anyone have an idea of what those mystery smissmass gifts could be? I almost have a full page of them at this point and it'd be kind of disappointing if they end up being some sort of bonus stocking with a bunch of untradable tools.

We'll probably know by Monday.

A rework is needed.
so the easter egg on the drawer is an explanation of ReTF2's logo?

How on earth did you get a full page of them already
Unboxing
[QUOTE=hawkesho;49345478]"backpack/crafting/professional_grease_basic"
what do you suppose that is.... the weapon festivizer is self explanatory, but a new craftable thing?[/QUOTE]
seriously though, that's the name of the backpack icon for a killstreak kit, which is shaped like a can of oil or grease

[t]http://www.hirespares.com/images/CAN2-1.jpg[/t]
it's just a placeholder since they haven't made an icon for the festivizer yet
cant wait to festivize my strange mini
fuck if im gonna spec KS a festive one and grind all the kills on it again

[QUOTE=Chrytin;49344813]If we want to get technical about whether something is balanced or not we need to look at how it performs against enemies using stock, in which case the soldier and demo can blast jump, the spy can cloak, and that's it.
Even with unlocks factored, Heavy can only use GRU (which makes his speed 100%, equal to Pyro), and Medic has Overdose, which requires at least 40% Uber to backpedal at the same speed as pyro. Also you forgot Engie; he is in the same boat as sniper with literally nothing to make faster getaways in situations where is is not near or doesn't have buildings.
Of course you don't, anyone who disagrees with you is just a whiny pissbaby.[/QUOTE]
except we're not playing TF2 classic + phlog are we? that argument is as fragile and weak as your feelings when I use common sense and basic design knowledge to prove you wrong
also you forgot that Scout runs faster and can double jump, and medic is already faster than pyro, and engineer's buildings dont take crits, so there's that

Maybe the new holiday crate will include stuff related to Matchmaking?
[QUOTE=Zeos;49346095]You... spent $150+ dollars?[/QUOTE]
[URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OK2CTrcHBc"]I just have 3 christmas boxes by unboxing, that's why i thought that, anyway...There are some kind of people that waste more money unboxing[/URL]
[QUOTE=sarge997;49346206]Maybe the new holiday crate will include stuff related to Matchmaking?[/QUOTE]
Have a chance at unboxing competitive access!
I doubt that the matchmaking will come soon.
There is still so much to fix, for example mantreads or the sun on a stick.

not every item has to be viable for competitive to work. Just no obscenely overpowered ones. Now that the reserve shooter, airblast and beggar's are fixed, it would run fine.
edit: man, there are a lot of idiot pyro mains complaining about the nerfs to degreaser on the tf2 subreddit. can't get any decent discussion there for a while. how long do you reckon it takes before they realize how barely noticeable they are?
pyro is the baby main of a lot of players on r/tf2
and i suspect they have played for years with degreaser.
Item Schema Update recap:
The festivizer name got changed from "#TF_DecoratedWeaponFestivizer_Name" to "#TF_Winter2015_Festivizer". Maybe it won't just be for decorated weapons. They also changed the "first_sale_date" for the Beta Pass to 2015/11/18 and made it untradable and ungiftable.
Really hope they fix engineer before matchmaking comes about.
the first sale date being today is also pretty exciting. Maybe a secondary update today with the "page_one" of the Tough Break update page?

you wouldnt have to grind because of the new strange transfer tool
but half the fun is getting that "your weapon is now this cool" popup after a kill

Apparently true festives are no longer festive...
I've been having problems with attachments not loading, or certain cosmetics since one of the hotfixes
Apparently only the melees are broken
We're working on a mandatory update for TF2. We should have it ready soon. Apologies for releasing so late on a Friday, but there are a few fixes we need to get released before the weekend.
Thanks.
