Major Update Speculation XXX: cp_orange_x3 confirmed!

[QUOTE=Metaru;49366083]No trying to shit on your parade, but it seems you talk a lot about competitive yet you only happen to have a single ugc steel div medal.

Although i think your right about the degreaser being the better comp weapon, this part of your quote really rubbed me the wrong way.

The fact that the community Holiday update has not been acknowledged by now is super weird

[Fluury]

Am I the only one who's slightly upset that we've not been getting any achievements lately? :v

Also, seems like tonight is the night if anything. (As in -> the night of the 22th.)

[QUOTE=Void Skull;49366018]To settle any speculation some people had on Workshop Wonderland involvement with the mysterious gift, I can safely say - we don't know what's going on either. Instead, here's this!

Happy Holidays![/QUOTE]

It's really depressing that Valve gives Halloween as much attention and content as they have for the last 5 years but Christmas gets barely anything. No map reskins, no event, no comics excepting A Smissmas story from like 3 or 4 years ago. It's really strange and at the same time sad that Valve won't use more from the wealth of community holiday content that pops up every year.

Isnt degreaser the default weapon to go for comp pyros?[/QUOTE]

Yes, it is, it's the most versatile and overall best. I don't play much competitive anymore (too much of a hassle for my lazy ass, my team when down the drain), but knowing how it works, seeing a phlog pyro essentially is a free kill (for you, not the phlog pyro, if you thought i meant vice versa)with how the classes are set up in sixes and highlander.

I believe a medal for it was put into the game during Tough Break.

it might work just like the summer claim check that when you "unbox" it you get a random crate, either nice or naughty

I hope that's the case (pun not intended). As many others before I have said by now, having a three way transaction would be total BS, having to buy a Tough Break Pass > Tough Break Case Key > Mystery Smissmas Gift Key.

With tiers its even worse than that. It's Buy a pass for 5.99 > Do a hour long contract > Hope to get a case > open the case for 2.49 > Hope to get a Smissmas gift or spend another 2.49 > Opent he Smissmas Gift hoping to get either the naughty or nice crate you want or spend another 2.49 hoping to get a gift hoping to get the crate > spend 2.49 > hope to get the item you want, with item tiers applied. So rinse and repeat to get the rare one

Well you only need the pass once.

Still ridiculous to do a full contract, only to get a crate, to open the get a gift, to get a crate

Everything here looks amazing! Really great work you guys!

[rualdcop]

What if we open the gift, then we get a naughty/nice crate along a festivizer or other thing?

Even though that model would be kinda yuck on valves part, the fact they're given out every time a wep case gets opened and with every pass sold means they'd likely be 10 cents off the market within a week or two.

[Radaghast]

Maybe we'll get festive stickers from the gift ?

Some of the skins patterns are already "stickers" ([url]https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/3xhd6f/psa_in_tough_break_collections_some_stickers_are/[/url])

Are stickers new for this update? I knew about random chances of blood splatters, but I've never seen this before.

I know it was probably just an early build/beta thing, but I can't help but think about the strange plaid pistol from way back in Gun Mettle's promo page. Is the idea of Valve releasing strangifiers for the non-case skins an unrealistic concept?

[Symwck]

Think we'll get another blog post for the next update?

I don't care how they do it but Strange versions of the Craftsmann and Gentlemanne collection is something that needs to happen. Why they don't already exist is just beyond me, and having used the Homemade Heater for the last 4 months without the strange variant that was plainly advertised on the update page is beyond frustrating. I really hope we see something eventually where you can get Stat-Clocks on your non-strange skins or normal strange weapons.

[Fluury]

Add strangifiers for said Collections which you can get through these weird set-things.

Old news buddy, but we are all pretty sure it's in there.

Then Heavy dittos would revolve around punching each other's lights out.

What's with you and the festive fists?

[chandlerj333]

I've seen the highpass texture error too, the texture of the cliffs looked like halflife textures.

Also the black box contract is broken; you can get the "heal 50 health from rockets" bonus by grabbing health packs. I also got a kill contract, killed a scout with a needlegun, and received 50+ points for it. I'm guessing that the contract counts kills made even before you activate it.

Sale's up, and it appears to be having an "unlocks over time" comic or something like that.

Festives tonight?

[PipAntarctic]

Cannot find the unlock over time thingy, anyone wants to screenshot it?
